A TRIP TO THE WEST INDIES.
A Chance for Much Larger Busi-
ness with the Islands.

Fernandina, Fla, Feb. 5.-Col. N. y.
Borden of Cuban fame and prominent
lumber merchant of the city has just re-
turned from a trip OF two months 10 some
OF the West Indies Islands. He left Fer
nandina in the early part OF December
for the island Martinique. After a very
rough and perilous trip. and narrow es-
cape from shlpwreck, he arrived at his
destination While ON this island, as
well as the Barbados, Jamaica, Porto Rico
st. Lucia and St. kits, he visited the
largest cities as we'll az made numerous
trips into the interior. He says he was
very much surprised that the merchant
service Of the United States had not made
more progress In that direction and great
er advancement toward establishing reg
ular lines Of steamships between these
ports and those Of these Islands of the
Antilles. Florida, says Col. Borden. should
have these lines. The United States are
the basis OF supplies for the most OF these
islands and from no port Of this country
could such line or lines be better operat-
ed than from Florida ports. The passen-
ger traffic among these Islands Is very
large. One steamer that Col. Borden was
on carried 100 and 800 tourists

caused by blow across the left temple with
some heavy iustrunent. The base ball bat, a

from North Carolina, but after being placed
under arrest he said he came from Dovessille.
He gave. bis maze as Walter hcCrady, but
when addressed ss Jones answered to the
name, apparently acting from impulse. A
photograph Of him was made yesterday after
noon and forwarded tc Wilson, n G for
Identification. In the meanwhile be is se.
