Furschgott & Co., where a large life
boat was taken on board. AT o'clock
she proceeded to the Wightman & Chris
topher dock, where she loaded with arms,
ammunition and dynamite. At 10 O'Clock
she sailed for the mouth of the river,
but stopped at Bucks mill on the way
and took on General Collazo and party
and A. w. Barrs, who had driven in car
riages from the residence of j. NJ. Barrs.
At this point large naptha launch was
taken on, as well as two large iron. surf
boats, to be used in landing the arms,
etc. The steamer proceeded ON to the
bar that night, and atdaylight of Friday,
the 18th (an unlucky combination), she
proceeded down the coast with N. b.
Broward at the wheel.
She arrived at Alligator Key Sunday
morning and there took in tow the Nal
lory The remainder of the story has
been told.
The Cubans on shore estimate that II
the other two expeditions land they will
have 1000 900 rounds of cartridges. They
say that when Gomez was before Havana
with $500 men he had only 800 rounds
of ammunition or a third of a cartridge
to each man.
The Times-Union correspondent has
told all of the facts, with the exception
that the place of landing is not stated.
He is in honor bound not to reveal that,
at least not at this time. He may do so
later on when the other expeditions sue
ceed in landing.

Milliken's Trial Begun.

Washington, March 1S.-In the crimi-
nal court of the District of Columbia to-
day the trial was commenced of Benja-
min H. Milliken, a young man who, at
the time of his arrest, held the position
of private secretary to a prominent
United States senator, and who is charg-
ed with house breaking. On the night of
July last he was discovered In the
house of Judge Samuel +. Phillips of
North Carolina, formerly solicitor-gen-
eral of the United States, where, accord
ing to the charge he had gone with un-
lawful intent towards Judge Phillips
daughter, to whom he had at one time
been engaged, but the engagement had
been broken off. He was captured on the
roof with his coat turned inside out
and his shoes tied around his neck. Mil
liken's defense at the time was that he
was under the influence of liquor and was
not responsible for his actions. The case
has excited a good deal of interest and
will proba bly last several days.

After Three Failures He at Last Succeeds in
Getting Away.
Somers Point, N. j., March -1s.-After
three failures Gen. Calixto Garcia is at
last upon his way to Cuba to hght
against the Spaniards. Together with
sixty-two of his countrymen he was put
aboard the steamship Bermuda off here
this morning by little passenger
steamer from Atlantic City. The entire
scheme was cleverly worked out, and the
detectives of the Spanish government are
said to have been badly taken in. 1t is
now known that the members of the ex-
pedition left Philadelphia in rather
open manner Sunday night in tug To
all intents and purposes 1T was pro-
claimed that their destination was
the Delaware breakwater, and that
it was from there that steamer
would be boarded for Cuba. 1t is pre-
sumed that the Spanish officials had the
tug followed when 1t left Philadelphia
The Cubans went upon this presump-
ton at least, and during fog ON Mon
day afternoon their tug doubled and re-
turned up the Delaware bay and river
to Camden, arriving there Monday even
ing. The party at once boarded special
train, which landed them at Tuckahoe.
The Cubans boarded the steamboat At
lantic City, which was lying waiting Tor
them The Atlantic City is used Tor
summer frafHc at the SedSHoFe Icsolt VI
that name. 1t has been out OF commis-
sion for several months. On Monday last
the Atlantic City took out papers OF In
spection from the custom house, for the
purpose, as supposed by the custom Of
ficials. of putting her in temporary COM
mission as 1t was known some parties
had been negotiating to purchase her.
The Atlantic City left Tuckahoe at
o'clock yesterday morning and steamed
to Ocean City, where she lay all night.
While the Atlantic City was at Tucka-
hoe and Ocean City none of the Cubans
were visible on deck, but this morning
when the whistle of the Bermuda at
tracted people along the coast the con-
cealed men came up on deck and gave
cheer after cheer as the Atlantic City
steamed out to meet the arms-laden
steamer Beyond the three mile limit the
transfer of the Cubans to the Bermuda

cials were caught mapping and could do
nothing to hinder the transfer of the

point but 1t will be understood that the
rash Is to be sent to Wheeling, where the

A Popular Verdict.

New Orleans, March 1S.-A case of unu-
sual Interest was concluded here today
In section A OF the criminal court, when
John Krautter was acquitted of the
charge of shooting with intent to kill.
Some months ago John Darrman
ruined Krautter's young sister, and then
refused to carry out his promise OF mar
riage.
He was given a chance, but refused to
right the wrong then Krautter met and
opened fire upon him. Darrman was
dangerously wounded, but recovered.
The defense set up In court was that
the provocation was great. and the
shame and insult to the family justified
the shooting. The jury was only at a
short time. and rendered verdict Of ac-
quittal. This was greeted with applause

COTTON MAY ADVANCE.
John H. nman Says Trade in America Is Worse
Than at Any Time in Thirty
Years.

New York, March 18.-Referring to the
recent activity and strong advance In
cotton, Mr.. John III. Inman today ex-
pressed his views as follows:
On October 16, just five months ago,
March cotton sold in this market at $50.
From that time there has been practical
ly continuous decline until March D,
when contracts sold at 7.2O, u decline OF
21s cents. The May estimate of the crop
Is the same today as it-was five months
ago, when cotton sold at 9.1U tnat Is,
$780, 900 bales.
The above decline brought our market
much below European parity and led to
large purchases of contracts in New York
against sales to Europe.
NV experience is that after steady
decline of so long a time an upward
movement Is inevitable, a movement
which will most likely recover half of
the 21b cents decline. and, therefore, car
ry us back to 8A to S2 cents before
the cotton season Is over With the rap
idly declining stocks and the fact that
1t is five and half months before new
cotton, 1t occurs to me that the persistent
sellers short of August may get into
very uncomfortable position before the
season Is over. Unless prices advance
materially l do not see how New YORK
can avoid having a small stock by Au-
gust /, say not over 10000 bales Irade
in America Is very bad, perhaps worse
than at any time for thirty years. but,
against this, trade in Europe is good, and
Liverpool and the continent will take
large amount of cotton at the cheapest
price they can get 1t, but will, In my
Judgment, pay 81 to SR cents IL nee
essary. Almost every cross road fol-
lowed south is short of the crop, and,
therefore, to my mind the extensive pre-
parations and prospects of the new crop
are greatly exaggerated. At any rate
It Is the season that makes the crop, ana
moi the acreage.

FOREIGN AFT AIRS.
Insurgents Fought an important Battle Mon
day and Defeated the Government
Troops.

Havana, March 1S.-News has been re-
ceived here of an important battle which
was fought on Monday in the vicinity
of Candelaria, in the province of Pinar
del Rio. The government troops were
unable to drive the insurgents back and
retired from their position with consid-
erable loss. The Spanish forces were
commanded by General Linares and Col
onels Inclan and Hernandez and the
rebels by Maceo and Bandora. The
fight was begun on line parallel with
the roadway. The Spanish forces de-
ployed the Tarifa battalion, a section of
the Victoria cavalry and a detachment
of artillery forming the van
guard and opening fire upon the
enemy. The rebels returned this
fire and at the same time made
an attack upon the rear guard of the
Spaniards, completely encircling their
column Having entirely surrounded
the government troops the insurgents
machetes. The latter made vigorous
resistance, using muskets and grenades
with such effect as to check for time
the enemy's advance, but with reinforce
ments another charge was made by the
insurgents and a hand to hand engage
ment ensued. The battle terminated
with bayonet charge. After hot fight
lasting two hours the Spaniards were de-
feated, losing many killed and wounded.
1t was the intention of the enemy to pre-
vent Colonel Inclan from proceeding to
Candelaria.
The official report of the fight says the
insurgents suffered a tremendous loss.
The Spaniards lost two captains and five
privates killed and one lieutenant, four
sergeants and fifty-four soldiers wound
ed. General Linares arrived at Candida
ria an hour after the conclusion of the
engagement, when he reported his share
of the battle.
Heliographc communication was In
terrupted yesterday. The rebels have
burned all but fifteen houses in San An
tonic de Las Vegas, in the province of
Havana.
