TAMPA, FLORIDA, Jan. 2l.-Ihe
| ship which arrived from Cuba to-day
brought a large member of Cubans
| and other foreigners but no new of
the war. Not much seems to be known
in Havana as to what goes on in the
interior. Nearly one half of the
population of Tampa is composed of
Cubans and they pay from S1.OO to
$1,000 a week toward a fund to assist
the Insurgents.
We go by steamer to-day nearly to
Key West on an excursion. There is
but very little trouble in going to and
from Cuba.
Arrangements are made for the sale
of tourists tickets through Florida by
rail, to Cuba by ths Plant Steamship
Line via Key West to Havana, thence
10 Mexico by Ward line of steamers,
returning to the United States by rail
lines from the City of Mexico. A
grand tour, circling the Gulf of Mexi-
CO and visiting its surrounding shores
at a season when the weather is de-
lightfully springlike, with no suspicion
of winter and scarcely an idea of
summer.
No passports + necessary. By a
recent decree of the Spanish Govern
ment, American. citizens may visit the
Island of Cuba under the following
regulations:
1. If provided with passport, no
tarial certificate or any other official
document which will serve for identi-
fication.
3. American tourists with no docu-
ment whatever are required to make
affidavit for Identification before the
Americana onsul, same to be witnessed.
No charges will be collected for this
service.
8. American tourists desiring to
leave the island will have their pass
ports or other official documents vised
by the Spanish authorities, for which
a fee of thirty cents will be collected.
The fresh vegetables and fruits
here are being highly appreciated By
members of our party, who, when not
eating, are fishing. Each one is
ambitious to catch a tarpon, the larg-
est of game fish. They are hard to
| catch and harder to land after you
| catch one.
The swamps and everglades are
great curiosities to those who live in
the interior. A Florida swamp is a
dreadful, damp, dismal place.
Our train of sleeping cars was run
out on the pier in Tampa Bay, where
we could get a breeze and we slept
fine last night. Just think of it! Hunt
ing for a cool place to sleep in Janu-
airy. The weather is just perfect
here. The nights are cool and pleas
ant and the days warm. There are a
few mosquitoes but not enough to
bother you. In this, Florida is an i'm
provement over parts of California.
The farmers here r planting new
orange orchards, hoping that It will
TIC a hong tirne~bsfora-i it gets cold
enough to kill them again.
Hope! What a grand thing for us
that we have hope. We live in hope.
All we do we do in hope and at last we
die in hope. R. M. WHITE.

Editors Having a Good Time

TAMPA, FLA, Jan. 20.-Members of

their way to the National Convention
at 81. Augustine, arrived last Satur-
uay night. There r $50 in the party.
IN the afternoon they visited Port

pieSsea warm sympathy for the in

many quaint and courteous customs are
to be seen. The Russell House is the
leading hotel.
The distance to Havana being only
101 miles from Key West, the depart
ure of the ships from that point is made
late at night, and the schedule so ar
ranged as to enter the beautiful harbor
of Havana at the signal of the sunrise
gun from Moro Castle.
The approach to Havana, with the
"Moro Castle' and the "Cabana" for
tifications upon the left, and the Seas
tillo de la Punta" upon the right, is
very picturesque, and is of continual
increasing interest. From the signal
tower of the "Moro" our own "Stars
and Stripes" and the private signal of
the line may be seen futtering in the
morning breeze.
The q. s. Consul Generals office is
at 80 Aguiar street. The Consul Gem
eral will be pleased to receive friendly
calls, and will take pleasure in assist
ing visitors with such information as
is within his knowledge.
The vicinity of Havana is of remark
able beauty and interest. Steam fer
ries, street cars and stage lines place
within easy access the suburbs OF
Regla, Cerro and Jesus del Monte, the
Castillo del Principe and the beautiful
Colon Cemetery.
Fine roadways and suburban trains
shorten the distance to the villages OF
Carmelo, Vedodo, Chorrera Guonaba-
Goa, Mariana and the Vente Water
Works.
Permission can be obtained through
the interpreters, and but a few hours
are necessary to visit a sugar estate
and witness the interesting process of
sugar making.
Steamship connections at Havana
can be made for principal points in the
Vast Indies, South and Central Amer
lea and Mexico.
Tampa is a city of $1,000 people; a
good many of them are Cubans.
There are l25 cigar factories here and
you can almost imagine you are in
Havana. Our party will take it out
in imagination, anyway. We leave
here tomorrow for st. Augustine,
the oldest town in the United States,
and they have "the best hote(s'' of

A Shooting scrape.

Monday a shooting affair occurred
in the 18th district. Hiram Blair
is living on Cyrene Hinkle's place
and turned a COW into the orchard.
Hinkle objected to this and a quarrel
ensued when Blair ran to his house
and come out with shot gun. He
shot Hinkle about the right side
and shoulder, one or two
taking effect in the face. 1t is feared
one of the shot put out HInkle's
right eye, but nothing any more
serious viii result unless some uD-
forseen trouble sets in.
Blair skipped, but was caught
near Jackson's ferry, Loudon county
.by sheriff Walker and Deputy Cum
bingham Tuesday and brough to
Maryyille. Blair's son, Sam, and
his son-in-law, Jim Stations, were
brought Tuesday morning by the
officers as they are accused of being
implicated in the shooting. All
waved examination till court and
falling to give bond are now in jail.

sermon, last Sunday morning at the
Presbyterian church, his text being
the sixth seventh verses of the cxxii
Psalm. He dwelt on the unity and
peace of brethren and OF our devotion
to God. His earnest manner impressed
those present and should help each
one TO be more sincere in his worship
towards Jerusalem. After services, al

sin to debase; no place so hallowed

sacred but it seeks to destroy. Sin
like holiness, is mighty leveler,' says
a distinguished divine. And what
may be the cause Of the thousands OF
suicides which have ACQUIRED during
the past year if it is not loathing OF

The Annual District Convention to
be held at Maryvllle.

The Annual District Convention to
be held at Maryvllle.
The important topic among the
young people at present is the annual
district convention which will be held
in Maryville this week. The Endeavor-
ers are looking forward with great
pleasure to the coming event, and a
large delegation will attend from
Knoxville. This promises to be the
largest convention ever held in this
district on account of it being held
nearer to Knoxville than some Of the
previous CONVENTIONS.
The convention is not confined to
delegated body and many of the
societies will attend in full force.
The railroads have offered the re-
duced rate Of one and third fare for
the round trip, while the Knoxville
and Augusta railroad wall reduce the
fare to IS cents for the round trip.
The regular convention train from
Knoxville will leave there at $3.50 Fri
day afternoon and will reach Maryville
in time for the delegates to be assigned
to homes, where they will remain as
guests during the convention. Dele.
gates from other points in East Ten
nessee will arrive at Knoxville in time
to be with the Knoxville delegation
when they leave. A special round trip
for the Juniors will be only CSC.
The convention will be called to Or
der Friday evening at 6;so instead Of
! 7 as previously announced. This is
done in order that the students of the
Maryville college can have the addi-
tional half hour in which to give re-
ception complimentary to the delega-
ties, after the evening exercise. The ex-
ercises will be held in the New provi-
dcnce presbyterian church which has
seating capacity of 800, and no
trouble will be experienced for want
of room as the entire convention will
not consist OF more than 500 at the
greatest estimate. District Superinten.
dent ]. M. Gailaher will preside over
all Of the meetings and the program
will begin,and close on time through.
out every session Of the convention.
Friday night the welcome addresses
and their responses and the annual re-
port of the district superintendent will
be given after which the social and re.
ception to delegates will fellow.
Saturday afternoon the Juniors viii
have their rally and an excellent pro.
gram has been arranged for the occa
sion. The exercise entitled THE young
Crusaders will be carried out by
