ARMS FOR THE 1SLANDERs.
Cnbdfs Change Their Plans and Unload
the Three Friends, CarGo.

Cttbdns Change Their Plans aud Unload
the Three Friends' Cargo.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 25.-It
was expected that the steamer Three
Friends would leave here last night with
another cargo of arms and ammunition for
the Cuban insurgents. The munitions were
on board and everything in readiness, but
at the last moment the Cubans changed
their plans, and this morning the arms
were unloaded from the steamer.
The dock of the Alabama Coal Company
at the foot OF Hogan street, presented the
appearance of a Government arsenal, for
there were thousands of cartridges and
carbines and rifles, and machetes by the
hundreds. Knapsacks, canteens and
other military equipment, sufficient to fit
out small army, were scattered about,
but all of the articles were be ing checked
off and watched by Cubans. The arms
and ammunition were stored in the ware
house of the Alabama Coal Company.
H. B. Fritot kept account of every box
and package that was taken off the
vessel. Charles F. Fritot superintended
tine storing OF the stores, and ]. Huau
appeared to be experimenting the work
The boxes of cartridges were marked

Wall, Tampa, care of Savannah Steam
ship and Plant System"
The Cubaps who were looking after the
unloading and storing of the cargo for the
steamer will not say who the arms are for,
nor why they are being taken off the
steamer on the eve of her leaving for trip
to the south. Henry Fritot said that the
cartridges were not good and would be sent
back 10 the factory to be reloaded. Mr..
Huau said that they did not need the arms
in Cuba just yet and they would be kept
here until the U United States recognized the
Cubans as belligerents. when that is
DONE" said he. ''the arms and other mill
tary equipment will be sent to the Cuban
service"
Machetes were largely in evidence. They
were shipped in canvas sacks, each sack
containing twenty-five. One of them was
an old blade with horn handle, through
which cord was fastened to go over the
wrist. The blade was stained and looked
as if it had been used considerably. The
rev machetes were made by Collins & Co.,
Hartford, Conn.
The unloading of the steamer was
watched by representative of the Span
ish authorities and few minutes after the
work began the Spanish Vice-Consul en-
tered the building and called on several of
the officials. The Spaniards appear to
think that the Government should seize
the arms and the vessel that had them on
hoard.

Preferred the Prison to Waiting HIS
CJains for Damages.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March Do A
Washington special says: A dispatch from
London announces that ex-Consul Wal
ler's solicitor writes to the Times that he
has declined to accept the conditions upon
which the French Government offered
to release Waller, and that he preferred
to remain in prison rather than waive all
claim for damag ges. Waller declined to
accept the conditions on which he was
released in waving all claims for indem-
nifty, but as ambassador Eustis, by in
structions from the State Department,
made the waiver on the part of the Govern
ment of the United States. Walters de-
cision was evidently regarded as of no con-
sequence.
He got his freedom with the informa-
ton that the American Embassy would
give security in any action which he
might bring against the French Gov
ernment. In pursuance of this arrange
ment Waller's solicitor is seeking set
tlement with France in behalf of his
client.
Waller is in London and will leave for
America April 4.

ator Hale, that did not propose to permit
the Cuban resolutions to ever come
to vote if they could prevent
it. In fact. the Committee on For
eign Relations had been warned that
quiet but effective system of fill
clustering had been inaugurated with a
view to preventing vote on the question
in the Senate. For this reason the House
conferrees were urged to accept the Senate
resolutions. which would remove the de-
bate from the Senate to the House, where
flibustering could not, under the rules, be
engaged in. 1t is believed to be the most
probable outcome of the conference, and it
would not surprise the members OF the
House tomorrow if the House managers
recede from the House resolutions and
accept those originally passed by the

Yaquina Bay improvement.

News comes from Washington
that the money is now available for
the improvements recommended by
the River and Harbor bill, which
passed both houses of congress over
the presidents veto.
One million and twenty-five
thousand dollars was appropriated
for improvement of the harbor of
Yaquina Bay, under the contract
system, by which coutuous work
will be done until the work is COM
pleted
About 500, 900 has already been
expended on this harbor, and the
results so far have more than real
lied the expectations of the engi-
neers.
They have now over 20 feet of
water OH the bar.
A special commission of engi-
neers was appointed about a year
ago to examine and report upon the
feasibility of increasing the depth
OF water on the bar, and the result
OF their recommendation is the
present appropriation to extend the
north and south jetties about a
quarter of a mile out to sea, cross
ing the outer rect and confning the
waters, so that the sand will be
sluiced off to further depth of six
feet, giving them harbor that will
admit vessels drawing about 30
feet. Yaquina Bay seems to be the
natural outlet for the Willamette
valley, add the timber in the Cas-
cade range, and as they already
have railroad penetrating these
points, we may look for lively times
at Yaquina.
Work an the present improve
mept will last for four or five years,
and during its continuance many
men will be employed and much
money expended.-E Tri-
bune.

Gen. Harrison on Our Finances.

Ex-President Harrison will dis
cuss our national finances in an
article on "The Secretary of the
Treasury" whicn will appear in
the August issue of The Ladies'
Home Journal. He will tell briefly
of the origin of our financial system;
its expansion or development; how
the nation raises its revenues, and
disburses its moneys; and detail
the faults of our system of fnan-
ciering. Referring to the methods
necessary to maintain our gold re-
serve General Harrison expresses
himself with evident disapproval,
and says that "the present situation
would be absurd if it were not so
serious" The increase or the
diminish of the gold reserve, the
ex-President asserts. powerfully
affects every interest, and the
"mending of existing conditions
will be task for the wisest and
strongest craftsmanship"
The ex-President clearly inti-
mates that successful fnanciering
is extremely difficult by the present
methods. Unon this point he says:
IF fifty dollars would suffice to
hold $50, 700, 900 in the Treasury
the Secretary could not expend
that small sum. He must stand
by until the gold is gone, and then
sell bonds to get it back. The
result is that the banks and the
brokers are often able to make play
OF the Treasury. A financial insti.
tuition whose board transacts its
business in public is at disad-
vantage"
