Washington to-day. and went al once 10
tho state Department. where he had
long conversation with Assistant ana Act
ing Secretary KOckhill.

in Cuba. be had good deal OF fresh
information 10 impart regarding analrs

OBSERVATIONS IN CUBA.
"My observations In and about Havana
lead me TO the conclusion that the situa-
ton is more serious now than II has
been since the war began. ! saw a good
deal Of the Spanish soldiers. and also
talked with some OF the insurgent Off
GERS. / found that both sides are equnliy
brave and determined While tho span
ish troops have not been paid FOR some
time and are absolutely without money,
they are wonderfully loyal. ana are as
determined as their officers TO defeat The
insurgents whenever the opportunity OF
fers. The insurgents. upon the other
hand. are full OF confidence. and are ana
iOus for a decisive battle.
In the matter Of money the insurgents
seem 90 Doe better supplied than the
Spaniards. They receive large sums from
friends in this country. and declare that
they are prepared 20 remain 200 the field
as long as Spain is willing TO continue the
WAR GETTING SERIOUS.
"T believe the war Us assuming serious
heavy fighting before many days nave
elapsed. / was not able 90 obtain much
information concerning the condition Of

THE L4uRADA LIBERIA-BoUND.
The Emiarants at Last On Their
Way to Their Promised Land.

The steamship Laurada went to sea
with the Liberian emigrants on board
yesterday morning, after having been in
port since Friday morning.
The engineer. who was needed TO fill
out the complement OF the crew, arrived
from Charleston yesterday morning. and
was Immediately taken down to the yes
sci. where she was lying at the Five Faith
ON Hole.
Capt. Dickman was in the city. and as
soon as the engineer had given sdtlstac-
qualifications for the position, the clear
ance papers were secured. The ship was
cleared at 10 o'clock. and Immediately
thereafter the captain and the engineer
took a tug down the river. The engineer ;
name is John =. Jones. II Capt. Dickman
had sent to Charleston for him as soon
as he found that there were no IDLE en-,
gineers in Savannah, he would nave saNe9
at least one days waiting, as the Nessei
could have gotten away Sunday morning,
If not on Saturday night.
Shortly after noon the emlgrants got
their first glimpse of the ocean, and the
Probabilities are that they did not eat a
very hearty dinner BY this time they are
wondering why they ever leIt nome atId
wishing they were back in Savannah Inc
captain Of the Laurada estimates that ne
VIII make the trip in twenty days. Inc
vessel is thoroughly provisioned, sum
GENTLY so. at least, TO last the emigrants
for four months, and there rs no DANGER
Of their getting hungry on the way over
The customs officers made thorough IN
spection Of the provisions, and saw that
they were ample and also that no I'M
proper stuff went aboard in the baggage.
Probably no vessel ever left savannah
which was more thoroughly looked over.
Collector BeckWith gave the matter MS
personal attention.
As the course Of the Laurada is south
easterly from Savannah, she VIII strike
some pretty hot weather before her ar
rival and the chances are that the snip
will not be the pleasantest place IN the
world in such case.
The Migration Society has not yet de-
cided when IL will send its next vessel 1t
may be this fall and il may not be until
next spring one thing is certain, and
that is that many of the Savannah ne
grOes have got the emigrant fever bad and
unless the excitement dies out the Migra-
ton Society will be able to gather a good
part of its next cargo right here. Many OF
the negroes who visited the Laurada
while she was in port loudly declared their
intentions of making ready TO go on the
next trip.
The majority of the eolored people, while
they may be in sympathy with the LII
berian movement, have no intentions Of
leaving Savannah for that country, for the
present, at least. The more intelligent
among them are opposed to the movement
and realize that life in Liberia means
hardships and struggles 10 the emlgrants
which most of them are i'll equipped to
meet.

THRAsHED HIS BOY WELL.
Fined for 1t and Then Advised to Do
1t Again.


Justice makes a decided miscarriage
now and then. This appears to have been
the case with James Gordon, a respecta-
BILE old colored man, who was fined IS by
Recorder Wilson several months ago for
beating his 12-year-old son numerically
Neighbors who heard the boys outeries.
thought he was being almost killed and
called a policeman who arrested the IA
Their. The evidence showed that the boy
had been given q very severe beating and
the recorder imposed the fine as a warn
ing to the father to use more discretion in
applying the rod in the future.
The effect was very bad upon Joseph
however. Since that time he has been be
fore the police court several times and
Saturday morning he was arrested with
several other little Migrants who had
camped under a house at Hall and Haber-
sham streets and came very near setting
fire to it. The boys were turned over to
the city court for trial for vagrancy.
The old man told his tale of woe to
Clerk Manucy at the city exvhange YES
terday. He said that he thought the fine
imposed some time ago ought to be re-
turned, in view of the subsequent conduct
of his son. He was advised to request
Judge Norwood to release the boy to him
on the condition that he give the latter
another severe beating.
