FOUGHT ASPANISH CRUISER
CAPTAIN BROWARD or THE THREE FRIENDS THINKS SHEHULLED HER.

Several Shots Were Exchanged While the
 Fllibusterer Was Making for Open Sea
 Arms, Ammunition, Provisions and
 Medicine Were Finally Safely Landed.
 New York, June 3.--The Cuban juata to-day received official information that another large filibustering expedi- tion landed safely last Friday west of Trinidad, southern coast of Santa Clara Rafael Portuando Tamayo, secretary of state of the Cuban provisional govern ment, was the leader. The expedition was landed by the steamer Three Friends, which left Florida about ten days ago. The steamer landed sixty eight men, one of whom is J. F. Crook, son of Major General George Crook, U. $. A., who went with the expedition as an artillerist. The cargo landed by the vessel and taken into the interior by a force of insurgents, who met the expe- dition, included nearly 1000 rifles, thir- ty-one cases of Colt revolvers, two Hotchkiss rapidfire guns, 45O,000 cart ridges, 1000 machetes, 1000 pounds of dynamite, other munitions and large quantities of provisions, medicines and bandages.
 A dispatch from Jacksonville says that on May 2S, when the Three Friends was hanging off the coast of Cuba wait ing for signals from the shore, a Sian ish cruiser sighted the steamer and gave chase. There was nothing but the open sea ahead of the Three Frienus, and she made Cor 1t a, $ lively gait. Soon there came a puff of smoke from the Spaniard then a roar and shell went shrieking over tho Three Friends Captain Broward, who was in command of the Three Friends, thereup sent q shot at the Spaniard from the twelve pound Hotchkiss gun. Several shots were exchange, and Captain Browacd thinks he hulled the Spanidrl once. The Three Friends gradually gained C nthe cruiser, and finally the warshlp sank below the horizon. That night the Three Friends lay out at sea. The next day she again approached the Cuban coast, receiving the agreed upon signals and landed her men and arms at night fall without interference. It is said Captain Broward received $12,000 for landing the men and arms.

ANIMATION.

IA Meeting on the Subject in West Haven. E The leaders of the West Haven move fnent for annexation to the city of New Haven are likely to hold a meet ling in few days to arrange the pre- |liminaries.
 MT. Henry Sutton, the well known |ship builder and managing agent of Isnany coasting vessels, when inquired l bf on the subject yesterday, said such IA meeting would probably be held and tSt may decide to call a borough meeting | Itt town hall, West Haven, for the fur liner discussion of the enterprise. It Igould be proper for that meeting to |sppoint committee to confer with the Isity Of New Haven in the matter. Of ourse if West Haven desires to come | hto the city, the people must say so l Ind then confer with the city. Later
 would be a matter for the legislature
 b decide
 The bonded debt of the town of
 orange is s1OO,0OO, and if West Haven Has set off, her proportional amount
 i the same would have to be assumed
 the city of New Haven. West Ha-
 en's proportion of the debt is esti- hated at about s5O,OeO. The city would ! lso assume the borough debt, amount
 ng to between s2,00O and $S,000.
 Mayor Hendrick says that if West
 Haven desires to be annexed New Ha-
 ren will undoubtedly favor the enter
 prise. He says that West Haven great
 y needs fire protection.

Testimony in Olney's Trial.

Willimantic, June 3.-The trial of the sioner Olney was resumed in the supe- rior court here to-day, being the third day of the trial Nicholas Staub of New Milford, who was comptroller during Olney's term of office from 1891 to 1894, testified that Olney's expenses were paid by the state. He identified forty receipts given by Olney for monthly ex- penses, averaging about fifty dollars each. The receipts were in evidence. Staub said he refused to pay Olncy's expenses for about six months in 1891 because the bills were not itemized For several months following March 1892, he also refused, because the bills made a lump sum of $50 per month All were eventually paid. Olney's sal ary was withheld more than a year on account of the deadlock in 1923, the governors power to reappoint him being questioned and the appropria- tionS exhausted.
 This ended the oral testimony for the state, but a large amount of documen- tary evidence is to be offered in an at tempt to prove that E. s. Gum of Lima, Ohio, was and is agent of Olney's in loaning the school fund money and that Olney received a share of the commits sions on the loans The record of west ern loans kept by the school fund office and copies of the several letters from Olney to Gum and to E. w. Squires ct Canton, Ohio, regarding a conflict in the matter of territory for securing loans, was admitted to prove the agen- cy, subject to exceptions by the de- fence.

This use is too limited in time and quantity to base any safe opinion upon, but our observations would lead us to be doubtful of its durability, for some of it already gives indications of breaking up.
 But in any case it would seem unwise for New Haven to start it's system of new pavements with comparatively untried material. Leaving then these California asphalts out of account, there remains only the Trinidad Pitch Lake asphalt and the Sicilian Rock as phalt to be seriously considered.
 The next lowest bid to that of Will liam Kelly, that of the New England Improvement company, Is for Trinidad Pitch Lake asphalt, as is also that of the Barber Asphalt company and of the Warren Scharf company.
 While we saw Trinidad Pitch Yake as- phalt pavements five and six years old in fair condition, without repairs, we saw much in very bad condition not over four years old. Much depends on care in selection of the materials, the sand in particular, and in the proper proportioning and manipulation of the ingredients.
 The lowest bidder for Sicilian Rock asphalt is the Boston Asphalt company. The rock asphalt is simpler in it's manipulation than the Trinidad, being composed simply of two kinds of pow dered rock mixed in proper proportions and heated. This pavement is a some- what harder pavement and in the opin- ion of the committee a more desirable pavement than the Trinidad.

 c. w. KELLY,
 Committee. To the Honorable Board of Public
 Works:
 We, the commissioners appointed to inquire into the merits of the kinds of asphalt pavements represented by the bidders, as the result of our investiga- tion recommend the laying of Sicilian Rock asphalt.

 New Haven, June 8, 1896.
 The bids of the successful competitors for the work are divided as follows: Chapel street, S3.SO per square yard; Orange street, $301, and Trumbull, SS.O5 The whole number of yards to be laid will amount to about 63,000, and the contract will aggregate $1S5,000. which is secured at 50 per cent. with the American Security company of Bos- ton. The contract was signed by the board, and MT. Mansfield, the man. ager of the company, last evening, and the bonds deposited with the board. The bids of the New England I'm provement company were $2.9S in Chap el, s2.7S for Orange, and $2.73 for Trum- bull.
 The matter of street sprinkling was referred to Mayor Hendrick and City Engineer Kelly to prepare specifications and advertise for bids.
