TuSboat Seized.

J 2ksonviMe. Fla, Aug. l7.-'The tug
IT, g Friends left port early Friday
morning with a schooner in tow The
tug was cCaled and provis:oned for a
long trip, and had aboard eight large
surf boats. Going down the river the
tug was seized by the revenue cutter
Boutwell,, and Capt. Brown. the master
and one Of the OWnerS was brought to
the city. The tug is held pending in
structions from Washington, though
roo gun Or a pound of ammunition
was found aboard A hundred Cubans
prepared to leave Tampa Friday night
fox this place or Fernandez, with the
intention of joining the Three Friends
expedition. The extra vigilance exer-
cised on the part of the administra-
o1inwatching the alleged tiibusters
IS said TO be due to a desire to ho,d the
United States free from any charge OF
assisting Cuban insurgents, thus inval-
!dating any claims Spain may make for
Indemnity.

Robbed and Killed.

Lincoln. Neb.. Aug. 17.-Doctors
performed an autopsy on the body Of
Hon. W. F. Eysler Of Chambersburg
Pa, who was found dying Friday
nigat from the effects of foul play
They are convinced that morphine
poisoning caused death. although
there was confusion on the scalp
that might have been fatal. There is
not the least question that Eys.er
was robbed and that he was first IA
tally drugged for that purpose. 1t
is not believed that murder was in
tended. Cliff Hagewell, who was
around with Eysler during the after
noon on Friday, was arrested at VAL
paraiso on suspicion and was brought
back to Lincoln.

a gallant confederate soldier, and be-
fore tne war was q colonel in the
