petitions of the contestants may be dismissed
and proper costs be allowed the respondent.
Hon. John J. Coyle, Of NIahanoy City, also
filed his an swer to the rule to quash the in
dictment found against John w. Parker, of
the Mahanoy City Record, charging libel.
Mr.. Coyle says in his answer that while
Parker agreed to retract the matter charged
in the indictment, and that he did so, he in a
subsequent issue of his paper before the case
was withdrawn, in substance reiterated the
libel. He, therefore, prays court to Overrule
the motion to quash the indictment.

CUBANS ~QrARANTINED
Small Body Arrested by Some Spanish
Officers.

New York. July S.-A special to the
Herald from Kingston. Jamaica, says.
An officially recognized rumor has been
current in Kingston that "A Spanish war
snip recently secretly landed a force al.
Dry Harbor to kiduap a Cuban. alleged
% be the chief mover in i~libustering
expeditions.
This place is conveniently situated
at a lonely spot near Dry Harbor. In
the neighborhood are many of the old
Spanish ruins, in the secret cellars Of
which it is known that the Cuban in
surgents have from time to time hid
den arms and shipped them off to Cuba
at their leisure, defying the native de-
tectiyes. who have always failed to To-
cate these store places.
Matters stood thus when, a few davs
ago, just before daylight, an open boat
with II men arrived just off Runaway
bay. on the north side of the island.
The boat had come from Cuba. and the
names of those on board we're: Cap
tain l.. Prado. Senior Zelamoa, J. L.
Lugones. r. Magarro, p. Forma, G..
LAWS, NJ. Laro, p. p. Morales, a serv-
ant and two reporters from American
papers.
They had come. it subsequently
transpired, with dispatches from An
tonic Maceo for the Cuban junta here.
Three of the men were put ashore at
Runaway bay. with instructions to
make their way with all speed to
island.
The men travelled by road and reach
ed the railway line at Ewarton station.
When about to board the train the three
were arrested by a police sergeant and
taken to Dry Harbor. The medical au-
thOrities ordered not only the II, but
the police who had arrested them. and
the driver Of the conveyance from Ew-
arton to Dry Harbor. to be placed in
quarantine.
Senior Ronden, president of the junta.
and a couple of prominent Cubans.
finally went over to Dry Harbor, but
were not permitted to approach closer
than 100 yards from those in quaran-
line. They carried on a conversation
in Spanish with the messengers, who
brought reports of the recent battle in
Puerto Principe. They spoke Of the po-
sition of the insurgents as excellent.
The organization and discipline of the
Cuban force left nothing to be desired.
Havana was at their mercy, they said,
but without a feet they could not hold
the city, and nothing, therefore, was
to be gained by an assault upon it just
yet.
1t was gathered hat the Cuban gen
erals had decided upon a course of
definite action with a view of forcing
matters. The dispatches which the men
brought are also understood to bespeak
the assistance of the Cubans in ia
maica. Prado said also that the dis
patches have reference to a coup de
main that Gomez is preparing, and
which will startle the world in a short
time.
