feared, would terminate in the same way
as the accident ON board the Cincinnati
Steam was found escaping from the
forward starboard bunker which is next

dangerously hot and an explosion was
feared. However, the crew got to work
quickly and the coal was taken frcm the

existed and an examination revealed the
fact that q steam pipe valve was leaking
slightly. No damage was done and no
ammunition was removed.

When he does work. it will be as heavy as
anything he has gone through up to the

work too steadily will tend tomakeCOrbett

every day.
Fitzsimmons put in a light day in honor
of the coming of his wife, and did less
work than usual. In fact, from this time
Fitzsimmons will do much less hard work
than he has been doing. His heavy work
is over, and he will do nothing but rough
exercise to keep himself in good condition
and keep up his wind This morning, he
took to the roads, covering about eight
miles, and in the latter part OF the morn
ing he sprinted up and down the yard at
Cooks ranch. An open space back Of the
house affords a straight-away of 100
yards for a sprint, and Fitzsimmons get
ting at one end Of the distance would go
flying down the entire length of the yard
and then turn sharply off to one side
and go tearing in among the trees at the
lvel1est kind of pace. In and out among
the trees he would rum at top speed, try
ing to increase his agility by making
quick turns around the tree trunks. At
times he would make the turns too abrupt
and down he would come in the muddy
ground. He kept up this work for the
better portion Of an hour At its conclu-
sion, however, his wind seemed to be
in the best possible condition. and he was
not distressed in any manner, although
breathing hard.

GETTING HOT FOR FILIBUsrERs.

Washington, ID. O., March 9.-The CON
viction and sentence Of John d. Hart. of
Philadelphia, on the charge of engaging
in a filibustering expedition in aid of the
Cuban insurgents seems to have greatly
encouraged the government in it's efforts
TO put stop to these unlawful proceed
ings. Information has reached the de-
partment OF justice that there is unusual
activity among Cuban sympathizers at
Pensacola and Apalachicola, Fla, and in
consequence the United States steamship
Marblehead has ben fully informed as
to the situation and instructed to be on
the alert to prevent the departure of any
craft under suspicion OF having men or
arms ON board. 1t is believed that arms
in considerable quantities have been Sc
creted at number of points on the gulf
coast and the utmost vigilance will be
exercised in preventing their being taken
off. Thus far, however, the officials have
received no information of any seizures.
