sociation inviting the board to make an
exhibit, such as is now located on Post

ton, which will commence September

dition of the Board of Trade would not
permit of suitable exhibition, and it
was decided not to send an exhibit.
VIII Z. Fisher sent a communication
inviting the Board of Trade, the Mer-
chants Association, the Chamber of
Commerce and the Manufacturers and
Producers Association to confer and
agree on some plan for permanent ex-
hibitions of Californias products in the
East and the general advertising of the
States resources.

cial committee, consisting of W. II.

cher, was appointed to confer with rep
reSentatives of the otner associations
and report at the next meeting.
1t was also decided not to send an ex-
hibit to the Boston Pure Food Exhibit
ton, as the proposition had not met
with much favor at the hands of the
producers and manufacturers.

PHILADELPHIA Aug. 1.-THE lat
est story told about the steamer Lau-
rada is that she was seen off the
New jersey coast on Sunday last, nav
ing Just taken on board a military ex-
pedition brought out to her from a
steam yacht, which had left Atlantic
City on Friday afternoon. The yacht
is said to have arrived at the seaSnore
resort two weeks ago under command
of a well-known Cuban. When she left
she had twenty passengers on board.
They were armed with revolvers and
machetes. The vessel met the Laurada
coming up the coast and the passengers
were soon transferred.
1t is further stated that the yacht had
subsequently been engaged in taking
parties from other points to the steam
er, and that when the latter was seen on
Sunday she had already taken ITO
armed men on board, some of whom
were taken from small boats before she
left Delaware Bay. 1t is also declared
that she carried 1;500 tons of ammuni-
tiCn.
The Norwegian steamship Moringen,
which arrived to-day from Gibara, re-
ports that the town of st. Lucia was to-
tally destroyed on the night of August
4th by the insurgents. 1t is reported the
insurgents are gradually advancing on
Gibara.
Captain General Weyler has issued
an order which will soon be put into ef-
feet closing the port of Gibara to all
classes of vessels. This decree has been
brought about by large consignments of
arms and numbers of Cubans being
brought there by ships from the United
States
