THE BERMUDA.

Arms and Ammunition Seized at Puerto
Cortez.
New York, April IA special TO the
Herald from La Lbertad, San Salvador
says: The Bermuda arrived at Puerto Cor
! tez, Honduras on the 2gth instant with a
| cargo OF ammunition. which has been
! seized by the port authorities.
New York, April 1.-The Herald's cor
respondent in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
| tolegraphs report confirming the state
inent that a filibuste.ing steamer is at
| Puerto Cortez.
| Washington. April 1.-Senor Dupuy de
Lone, the Spanish minister here has re-
| ceived word from Spanish diplomatic and
consular officials in Central America say
ing that the steamer Bermuda. having
| aboard munitions of war for insurgents in
cuba. has been detained at Port coraz
by the Honduras government, and her
cargo seized. -
New York, April 1.-The Herald says To-
cally concerning the reports of the seizure
of the Bermuda by the Spanish author
lties Tho cable message from La Libar-
tad San Salvador, received by the Herald
stating that the arms on the steamer Ber-
muda of fil!bustering fame had been seiz-
ed at Puerto Cortez on the norm coast of
Honduras would apparently indicate that
attempting 10 make binding 10 Cub,
and had been compelled 20 fly with at
least a portion of her cargo to avoid cap
ture by Spanish cruisers.
There is some reason to believe that the
expedition reported by Havana special
cable dispatches to have landed at Mureil
or on the north coast of Plnar del Rio,
was not the Bermuda. but another erpe
dition. Cargoes of arms and ammunition
carried small, fast sailing vessels are
known to slip across under cover of dark
ness from the Florida coast TO the island
Of Cuba al intervals
Tho successful landing of at least five of
these small expeditions has been announce
ed during the last month. These small
filibustering parties have all landed at
different points on the north coast of
the Island and some times close 10 Ha-
vana.
Tho sailing of the bermuda from New
York with CaliXto Garcia on board was I
OF course known to the Spanish officials, |
All eyes were on the lookout for her and |
1T Is not strange under the circums tnnces
that the small expedition which landed
In the dark at Mariel on the northwest
coast was mistaken for and reporter as
the Bermuda.
Tho Cubans In New York have heard
nothing from tho Bermuda since her ar
rival was cabled to Their, .fom Puerto
Cortcz. They were greatly surprised to
hear that her arms had been seized by
the Honduras authorities.

ing everything made on the farm.
will determine the winner, whoth.
or he farms ten acres or q thous-
and. The prize cannot be won by
spending time and labor and mon
ey Oh one or two crops.
1t is most desirable that more
attention should be paid in this
State to the industry of sheep
raising, which could be developed
to important proportions, if tho
farmers would take hold of it in
earnest. Another prize will be Of
fered in the interest Of this indus
try.
Another will be offered to be
competed for by the fruit growers,
who have already fairly organized
one of the most promising new IN
dustries in the State, but will be
interested doubtless in contest
which will show who is tho leader
in this pleasant and profitable
fold of endeavor.
Last, but not least in the order
of merit and interest, will be the
prize to be contested for by the
women Of the State who are work
ing on the farm as hard as their
husbands and faehers and brothers
and sons, without getting due
credit for their part of the yearly
products and income, This con-
test will cover the field of woman
work on the farm, in the orchard,
about the house IN the dairy and
kitchen, and garden, in tho poultry
yard, and among the bee hives,
and in all the wide and varied do
partments Of her ceaseless indus
try, and we hope will serve to in
spiro many such workers with new
interest in their daily and all-day
tasks and duties. All cannot win
the prize, of course, but all can
win recognition for the important
part they play in making farming
profitable-and possiblo--to the
mon who work atield, and We can
promise all the contestants such
recognition at least, besides the
PliHo VI iIl1LSo W OlOSC WHO WIN
them. This contest will eft" in
naturally and neatly with tho con-
test for the prize for the most sue
cessfull call around" farm, and it
may we'll be that tho prize for
such farm will be won at last by
the farmers i'll. petticoats, who
help to "run it, " in the race.
We have already made this in
troductory chapter with regard to
the several contests larger than
we intended it to be and will only
add, therefore, that all the prizes
Indicated will be certainly offered
and perhaps moro of Them that
tho conditions Of tho several con-
tests will be announced in few
days, and the present intention is
to have all tho farm products Of
tered for competition as far rs
practiblc, exhibited in Charleston
on the occasion of tho noxt Fall
Festival, when the prizes will be
publicly awarded.

DEATONSYILLE. AMELIA COUNTY,
VA, April Especial THE special term
OF the Circuit Court OF Amelia closed its
session on Saturday afternoon, Judge s.
+. Coleman presiding The court was held
TO try a most important and interesting
case. that OF the Rivermount Land Com
pany VS.. General George j. Hundley. The
facts. briefly stated, are as follows:
In the boom times General Hundley sub
scribed to $1,000 stock OF the company,
and paid down 5000, and, for reasons sat
isfactory to himself. he declined to pay
the balance. The Rivermount Company
sued him for the 5000 and interest. Gen
eral Hunfiey flied plea, alleging that
the subscription was obtained under
fraudulent representations. and also filed
plea under the statute 10 recover the
1900. which he had paid. with interest.
The case was holly contested and was
conducted with signal ability on both
sides. There were many new and inter-
esting law points raised, and the Judge
gave full instructions. The Jury rendered
verdict, releasing General Hundley from
the balance demanded. and also gave him
verdict against the plaintiff for the
5000 he had paid, and interest
Messrs. b. 3. Munford and S. s. p.

MEETING OF THE TOBACCO TRADE
Effort 10 Revive the sale of Loose
Leaf Here.

Az n called meeting Of the Tobacco
Trade. held yesterday on the Exchange.
the committee appointed to devise ways
and means for reviving the tobacco
trade here made their report. Mr. +. NJ
Boykin. chairman OF the committee.
stated that the original plan OF
his committee was to organize a
Joint stock company, with capital
OF $4,000 for the purpose OF assisting the
warehouses and bringing tobacco here;
but this the committee did not agree to-.
In making his report, Mr.. Boykin said
the committed was decidedly in earnest
all members thereof realizing that a criti-
cal point in the history OF the Trade
had been reached. and nothing but
united effort would bring about such
a revival as was desired
The committee did not succeed In de-
vising ways and means. as proposed.
and in the opening meeting plans were
discussed at length. Mr.. James N. Boyd.
one of the committee, said that all to-
bacco men should primarily attend the
breaks and do all they can to buy what
Is offered. He said further that II re-
quired money TO bring tobacco 10 Rich-
mond and this necessary capital the
Trade did not have; but for the pur-
nose OF getting the necessary funds and
keeping warehouses running. IL was sug-
gested In committee that the Trade guar
antee the rent of two warehouses for
twelve months: but this did not seem 10
work. 1t was then proposed TO organize
a union warehouse company, with
capital stock OF $4,000. but this was
not agreed TO. on the ground that the
other warehouse might think stockhold-
ers were trying to make money out OF
this plan. and might consider II ware
house combination or trust.
Mr.. r.. c. Morton addressed the meet
ing. and said ne thought II the Rich
mond buyers and manufacturers would
withdraw their orders from other Vir-
ginia and North Carolina markets. and
say they would not buy. except on the
Richmond market. that tobacco would
very soon find its way here.
Mr.. Shelburne stated that the market
was not supported by the manufacturers,
and used as en- illustration the fact that
only about per cent. Of the tobacco sold
on his floor the past year had been
bought by manufacturers.
Many ideas were discussed by several
members Of the Trade, and, finally. upon
motion of Mr.. Boykin. committee OF
four was appointed 10 canvass the Trade
and find out the amount of money each
would give 10 assist the loose sales here.
President Hancock appointed on this
committee Messrs. w. c. Reed, T. ID.
Neal. r. S. Bosher and John A. Hutche-
son.
The meeting then adjourned.
