Superior Court-Civil Side-Judge Shum-
 way.
 Attorney w. A. Wright, acting for a client yesterday morning obtained from Judge Shumway an order permitting Receiver Philip Pond of the Burgess Fur and Hat company to return some goods received by the company after the appointment of a receiver. The goods amounted in value to about S20O. The temporary embarrassment of the Burgess Fur and Hat company is due to outstanding notes which they held against Wallingford and New York con- cerns which were embarrassed, and left them without ready money to meet notes which became due The mild winter also prevented expected realizations from sales from large stock on hand
 Receiver Pond states that the lia- bilities will not be anywhere near $1S,- 900. He believes, judging from the statements of claims which are being presented, that the estate will be able to pay dollar for dollar.
 Applications for the appointment of appraisers will be made to Judge Shum- way probably to-day.

Three Friends-American Consulate
at Havana Guarded by Police

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec 15.-The cruisers
Newark and Raleigh received telegraphic
instructions at noon yesterday, and at once
put to sea to capture the steamer Three
Friends, which left Fernandina at an
early hour in the morning with a cargo Of
arms and ammunition, besides about fifty
Cubans to be landed in Cuba Instruc-
tions were also received for the revenue
cutter McLain at Miami, and the Winona
and Forward at Key West, to intercept
the Three Friends If possible.
Every effort will thus be made to catch
the fllibuster, which succeeded in getting
away with its cargo despite the vigilance
of the government officers and Spanish
spies. This was done by using the Com
modore as deooy, the Cubans announc-
ing that ali of the preparations being made
were to send the Commodore, with d cargo
of arms and ammunition, to Cuba. The
Commodore lay at it's wharf yesterday and
no attempt was made to clear from the
custom house.
The actual cargo carried by the Three
Friends consisted of 100000 rounds of am
munition; 1,040 rifles, one twelve pound
Hotchkiss gun, 900 machettes, 1000 pounds
of dynamite and quantity of medicines,
provisions, eto. The expedition is COM
manded by Perez Calvo, who was an ad-
jutant of Maceo's staff.

John Klingaman, of Brandonville, who
has been great sufferer from chronic
laryngitis and spasmodic contraction of the
glortis, as last resort allowed Drs. Woomer
and Phillips to perform tracheaotomy upon
him. His family and friends believed him
beyond medical aid and allowed the opera
ton to be performed more to alleviate the
intense suffering of the patient than as
means towards recovery. Drs. Woomer and
Phillips are highly commended by friends of
the patient for the critical conditions under
which the operation was undertaken and the
highly gratifying results therefrom. The
patient is doing nicely and there is every
nope for his recovery. Mr.. Klingaman is an
uncle of Miss Eisenhower, one of our school

NEW YORK, Dec. 15,-The last letter
that the Cuban junta in this city received
from General Antonio Maceo curiously
contained an estimate of the qualities of
General Ruiz Rivera, who succeeds TO
Maceos command General Maceo wrote:
Rivera is not only brave, tireless and
indomitable, but ne Is a great tactioian.
He Is a thorough soldier, and has had mil
itary advantages enjoyed by but few of
the men in my command. He knows the
map of Cuba as well as the oldest guide,
and can hold Pinar del Rio against the
Spanish army for ten years If necessary.
On several occasions he has converted de-
feat into victory. On others, when it
looked as If he and a small force were alb
solutely shut in by a large army he has
escaped without losing man.
I'm establishing his post he has picked
out invariably positions that were almost
impregnable, and which at the same time
permitted him an avenue of escape in case
the worst should come to the worst. In
storing and concealing munitions Of war
and camp equipments he has shown a
cunning that at times has made me even
laugh. L believe he could conceal regi-
ment of horses inside of a Spanish army
and keep them undiscovered a month
HE is a good organizer and good dis
ciplinarian, and at the same time is very
popular with his men. He is what is
called a Yankee In his methods, being
very careful Of his soldiers, cautious of
losing life and extremely strict in keep
ing the weapons Of his mon in the best
possible order 1t is well to write you OF
these things, because at any moment /
am liable to be killed by the enemy, and
there must be some one to take my place
II 1t be Rivera, l am certain you will have
general OF much ability and greatness"
From all parts Of the United States,
from Mexico and from Paris kilograms
were received by the Cuban junta and by
prominent Cubans In New York in which
the correspondents expressed their SYM
pathy for free Cuba and offered financial
assistance to the men who are making

HAVANA, Dec. 15.-The United States
consulate general In this city is under a
special guard of armed policemen. This
preoautIon is taken by the Spanish au-
thorities owing to the fear that the in
dignatlon expressed by Spanish sympa-
thizers against the United States would
find vent in an attack upon the consulate,
There have been fresh signs of the hos
tile feeling against the United States
In view of the news from there of the ar
dent sympathy felt with the insurgents

allegations made there of the manner in
which he was killed In the absence of
the consul general, Fitzhugh Lee, the con-
sulate is in charge of the vice consul gen.
eral, Mr.. Joseph A. Springer.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press called upon Captain General Weyler
at the palace last evening TO inquire re-
garding the rumor circulated In the United
States that the crew of the American
schooner Competitor, on trial for taking
part in flibustering expedition, were to
be executed today. General Weyler au-
thorized denial of the rumor. The crew,
he said were not to be executed today,
and the trial Of their case will, in fact,
continue for long time yet.
Firing has been heard all day long west
of Havana. Not steady, but desultory, as
II a running fight were being had. Sew
eral companies of Spanish troops were
sent out during the day in that direction,
but no tidings has been received of the re-
suits. On account of articles in the
American press displeasing to General
Weyler's censors rules have become more
rigid and arbitrary, and American corre-
spondents have trouble in securing and
transmitting news.

people connected with the Automatic exhibi-
ton, now in our city, and that is the manager
and attaches are perfect gentlemen. 1t is
seldom that we have exhibitions which are
accompanied by other than rough element
of people. While the exhibit is most mere
torious one in every respect one is handed
from the door to the scenes and along the
pleasurable journey of really marvellous
wonders, as if he were being entertained in

travelling companies of any kind and is all
