DIAMONDS STOLEN IN FLORIDA.
Gems valued at $4,000 PurIOined
From the Big Hotels

st. Augustine, Fla, April 5.-During the
closing days of the season diamond crooks
have raided the Fgagler hotels on the east
coast, securing gems valued in the aggre-
gate at nearly SS0,000
The heaviest looser is said to be Mrs
Henry NJ. Cutting of New York, who was
robbed of jewelry valued at $4,000. Mrs
Cutting has been stopping at the Ponce
de Leon in st. Augustine, and while she
was at dinner, thieves entered her room
by means of pass key and did the work.
The hotel officials. while admitting that
Mrs. Cutting was robbed, deny that the
jewels were as valuable as claimed.
AT Vhe Aicazar, another OF MI iagler 5
ST. Augustine hotels a robbery OF magni-
tude was also committed, the losers in this
case being William Freeborn and daugh-
ter, Miss Freedom, whose home is at Tiv-
li-on-the-H Hudson. From Mr.. and Miss
Freeborn gems valued at 5000 were Sc
cured. An advertisement appeared in the
Jacksonville papers to-day Offering a re-
ward of 81 900 for the recovery of the Free
Mr.. and Mrs. L. ]. Camp of New York,
who have been spending the winter at
also heavy losers, their rooms being rob-
bed of jewels valued at $1,000. For the re-
covery of these gems, Mr.. Camp offers a
reward of 81, 200.
The crooks have done their work in the
last few days and have been so clever
about it as to completely mystify the de-
tectives. The robberies were committed
while the guests were at dinner.
Pass and skeleton keys were used, and
when the guests returned to their rooms,
nothing seemed to be disturbed. Detec-
tiVes claim that the efforts of the hotel
authorities to prevent publicity have work.

crooks known to have been on the east
coast recently are Schnipp, Clifford
and DR.. Trumbley. According to Detec-
tives Burgess and Featherstone of New

the men named, who are experts, un-
doubtedly secured the jewels. DIR. Trum-
bley is an Englishman and his reputation
in London and New York is very unSavory.

STREET CAR MEN MAY STRIKE.
Trouble on New YOrl's Surface
Lines Threatened.

New York. April 5.-The danger Of a
strike on the street railways in this city,
which are owned by the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, because of the
discharge of nine gripmen and a conduc-
tor, was by no means lessened to-day. The
railway employees persist in the asser-
tion that the men were discharged be-
cause of their activity in the affairs Of the
local branch of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Railway Employees of
North America, Notwithstanding the Met
ropolitan company officials state that the
reason for dismissing the gripmen ana
the rule prohibiting them from entering
saloon during working hours.
There was some very determined talk
in and around Clarendon hall this after
noon by employees of the railroad COM
pany, and is was declared that unless the
discharged men were reinstated there
would certainly be a strike.
At the meeting of the Central Labor Un-
ion in Clarendon hall this afternoon, del
egation consisting of one employe from
each OF the roads of the Metropolitan sys-
tenn were present and they asked the priv
ilege of the floor. This was accorded them
in executive session. The spokesman stat
ed the grievance and asked for sympathy
and advice. The reporters were informed
after the meeting that the speakers for
tn Central Labor Union had counselled the
railway men to move very slowly and had
very QeClOeu thrown cOlQ water upon the
eagerness of many of them to strike if the
Metropolitan Company failed to fully COM
ply with their demands.
c. w. Archibald and Thomas McCul-
lum of Philadelphia, who came to this
city and organized the local branch Of the
National Amalgamated Association,
said to-day that there was nothing new TO
be said until after the consultation with
William D. Mahon, president of the ma
tional association, who they expected
would shortly arriver in this city from Pc Pc
officials of the Metropolitan Company had
signiied their willingness to reinstate four
of the men discharged, but it was stated
local union would be satisfied with that.

GARCIA's LANDING IN CUBA.
A Battle Fought TO Divert the Atten-
ton of the spaniards.

AAOh VI AhC
New York, April 5.-A cipher dispatch
was received to-day by Meyer Stern of
262 West One Hundred and Twenty-third
street, private secretary of Cen Calixto
Garcia, a duplicate OF which was sent
to Mrs. Garcia at her residence. 256 West
One Hundred and twenty ninth street,
giving a detailed account Of the Ber-
muda expedition to Cuba, of which Gen.
Garcia had charge. and of an important
battle which took place In Pinar del
Rio, which was disastrous to the Span
iards, and which was made for the pur-
pose of permitting the Bermuda to land
her small arms and ammunition. The
Spaniards lost 800 men.
Despite the fact that the Spaniards
have denied that the Bermuda mad land
ed, the cable reads as follows: THE Ber-
muda landed the heavy part of her cargo
at Marfel Bay, which Is the narrowest
part of the island of Cuba, thirty miles
from Havana. One-quarter of the men,
Of whom there were lO9 landed at Baybi
Gen. Garcia then consulted with Ma
Geo and they engaged the Spanish troops
at Pinar del Rio. The Bermuda's COM
mander wanted to land the big guns in
the eastern part of the island, but went
westward for two reasons; trst, because
the shallow water eastward would not
permit the landing Of the big guns, while
she had the whole cargo; second be-
cause they wanted to divert the atten-
tion of the Spaniards so that they would
not watch the eastern coasts.
THE battle was fought to prevent de-
tachments of Spanish troops from marcn-
ing to the coast, as they had been or
dered.
Gen. Garcia has gone to Santiago de
Cuba to organize his army. He started
with only 500 men, but at the time this
cable leaves he has 5000 volunteers"
Carlos Garcia, the generals son, dis
tinguished himself at the battle of Pinar
del Rio.
"On our way to Cuba we saw very dis
tinctly the smokestack of the Spanish
cruiser which followed us from New
York"

BAsTIAN LIKE THE BENDERs.
Numerous Murders Probably Conn
mftted on His Farm.

Rock Island, Ill, April 5.-The sheriff. 3
forces have been further rewarded In
their investigation at the Bastian farm
by finding two watches in the hog pen
mire. Both show the effect of long ex-
posure and the cases seem to have been

tact with the acids contained in the offal.
The discovery of these watches has LED
to the suspicion that the remains of some
of the victims of Bastian's crimes may
have been fed to the hogs. This theory
is supported by the discovery of a piece
of cloth buried two and one-half feet
deep down in the corner of the pen, which
may have been the remnant Of a coat
