Good Work Going O n

NEW YORK, May ia special to
the World from Jacksonville Fla,
says:
There was a report here last night
that another Cuban filibustering expe-
dition is organizing and that before
many days a large cargo of arms and
ammunition with a goodly number of
Cuban passengers" would be on the
way to Cuba. The report was strength
ened by another report that the steam
er Laurada was down at the bar.
It is certain that Cubans have been
gathering in this city for the past
few days and have been especially
active in certain directions
The government authorities have
been notified from Washington to seize
the Laurada should it come into port,
therefore there is little probability that
she will come UP the river even if it
is she that is reported to be at the
mouth of the river.
1t is stated also that the steamer
Three Friends will soon get off with
a load of ammunition and arms. The
Spanish consul here is very active and
is keeping the wires hot between this
city and Washington. The revenue
cutter Boutwell, is at the mouth of the
st. James waiting for any attempt of
steamers to load.

men of New York and the programme
will be given in Spanish. 1t is expected

Lives in Momentary Fear of Assas-
sination.
WATERFOWL, n. Y, May 1S.-John
A. Finnegan, the special war cores
pondent of the Standard of this city,
writes from Majague, Cuba, the south
ern terminus of the trocha, of a trip
made across the island along General
Weyler's strong line. He says: The
trocha could be held by a competent
general, but in the end it would be
broken by Gomez. Maceo has gone
up and down through the west and de-
stroyed the tobacco crop. The Ber-
muda has supplied him with plenty of
arms and ammunition. The country
and smaller towns are becoming fast
deserted. I Travelled whole days with
out meeting scarcely a person. 1t
seems the calm before the tempest"
Mr.. Finnegan had some exciting ex-
periences in his trip through the coun-
try and is watched by General Wey-
ler's spies. In Havana he says:
''Incognito VIEWER" as he is known
among the people, lives in fear of
personal harm. He fears assassination
and has had war vessels always in the
bay, because a bomb was exploded in
the palace once. He has not been on
the streets unless in disguise"
This correspondents letters are for
warded to Havana through Cuban
SympathizerS.

The Union Pacific magnates. to-
and Assistant General Freight Agent
Eccles. are now going over the Short
Line, and the inspection will be the
most thorough ever made.
In local circles it is now considered
as definitely settled that a satisfactory
agreement was reached by the visiting
officials and the Salt Lake & Pacific
and Utah & California. This will en-
able the Deep Creek road TO utilize
the Utah & Nevada grade. An in
creased force was put at work yester-
day and the grade will be finished to
Black Rock, four miles and a half
from the Saltair Y. From that point
a new track will be put in on the old
grade, and the old rails will be used
for switches, etc.
So far, two miles of the new grade
have been completed and is ready for
the ties.
So soon as the agreement has been
formally ratified, the Utah & California
will be able 10 run its trains over the
old Utah Southern.
There is still much speculation as 10
whether the California road will run
it's line over the old grade from Mil
ford, going on towards DeLamar:
The proposition of the Utah Midland
people made to the committee on reor-
ganization was that it would give them
$500 900 in cash for the Utah & Nevada
line, from this city to the terminus near
Tooele. The money to be paid in six and
twelve months. Or that it would give
an interest in the Utah Midland; equlVa-
lent to the amount mentioned Tor the
road.
The offer was not accepted as stated,
being thrown out entirely.
THE Utah Midland folks, however, Sc
cured from S H H. Clark the state
ment that trackage arrangements could
he made for the use of the line from
this city to the terminus on basis to
be arranged later on. 1t is not known
whether the offer will be accepted or not,
as the bridges are not heavy enough 10
permit of large engines passing over
them. although this difficulty could e3Ild be be
Course will have to be borne by the
Midland people.

SEREM CAUSED DEATH.
PROFOUND SENSATION AMONG GER
MANY's MEDICAL MEN.

numerous bands of insurgents were pass
ing by Paila and over the river San
Cristobal in Pinar del Rio. They we're
under Roberto Bermudez. and leaving
the mountains on the left hand, they
were marching eastward. Their object
