Proposition said To Have Been Made
To settle Question.
WASHINGTON, October 2S.-In reli-
able quarters it is said that the confer
ence between Russia, Japan and the
United States now proceeding here in
reference to sealing in the Bhering sea
and the North Pacific has advanced to
an important stage and that a PROPOSE
ton has been reduced to writing which,
if accepted, will bring about complete
change in the sealing question.
The proposition is said to be accept
able to the United States. 1t is under
TODD to be acceptable similarly to the
Russian delegates now here, but in
view of the restriction placed upon
them by their credentials it has been
thought desirable to cable to st. Peters
burg for final instructions. The Japan
csc delegates are understood to have
felt at first that the proposition would
not be in their interest, but after a
further conference Mr.. Fujita deter
mined to cable the substance of the
proposition to his Government, accom-
panying it with a recommendation for
its acceptance. Little doubt is enter
tanned that Russia will accept the pro-
position and, in view of Mr.. Fujitas
recommendation, it is believed that
Japan also will join in it.
Owing to Japan's view of the subject,
the opinion of the seal experts was
laid before the Japanese delegates.
This opinion was to the effect that
while Japan's seal possessions were lit
tie or nothing at the present time, yet
that by adequate protection of the seals
her decimated rookeries would be re-
stored and a large seal property built
up. This expert view appears to have
been convincing on the Japanese dele
gates, for, as already stated, Mr.. Fujita
not only cabled the final proposition to
Japan, but accompanied it with his
favorable recommendation.

COFFEE CARGO FOR EUREKA

Schooner From Hawaii to Unload

EUREKA, October 22-Captain F.
O. Raven of the schooner BERTHE Miner,
who has just returned from Honolulu,
states that the schooner Norma may
be expected here soon with cargo of
coffee from the Hawaiian Islands. 1t
was intended to go direct to San Fran
cisco, but as this if free port of en-
try, the saving on entrance, dockage
and port charges will more than COM
pensate for freight on the cargo from
here to San Francisco. This is the
initial cargo to be handled in this way,
and it is expected to prove the pioneer
movement in regular trade with Kali
lua, il not with many more plantations
of the islands. The Norma will take a
return cargo of redwood.

A PLAGUE OF HYAcINTHS.
Navigation on the St. Johns River, Florids
Almost Stopped.

Navigation on the st. Johns River, Florida,
Almost Stopped,
The cold weather this winter has had no
affect on the water hyacinths in st. Johns
River, Florida, and unless Congress soop
takes some step to rid this river and the
tributary streams of the plant before next
summer, navigation Of the upper st. John
will be entirely blocked.
On the last trip of the steamer City oi
Jacksonville from Jacksonville to Sanford,
great difficulty was experienced in getting
through the solid bed OF hyacinths which ex.
tended for one mile and half south oi
Volusa bar at the head of Lake George.
Winds blowing from the north and northwest
have caused plants to be blown out Of lakes
and streams and into the form Of solid mass
across the river.
Captain Shaw, of the steamer Hays, states
that In places the hyacinths roll over and
over until a solid bank several feet thick is
formed and when the steamer gets into the
floating mass it is with the greatest difficulty
that she can be extricated. Only few days
ago small steamer on the upper river was
completely stalled and 1t took half a day for
the men in row boats to open up passage
for her. At svery landing along the river
mill men and loggers complain that business
is being ruined and all hope that Congress
will soon take some action to afford relief.
The monetary interests at stake are very
large.

"A SEA FIGHT OFF CUBA.
Fi|ibuster Beats Off Spanish Gunboats
With Solid Shot.
ALL EUROPE BEHIND SPAIN,

The Three Friends Was Attempting to
Land Her Cargo of Arms and Ammuni-
ton When the Vessels Attacked Her.
Patriots on.Board Return the Fire Of
the Spaniards--Germany Spain's Ally.
KEY WEST, Fla. Special. 1.-The Cuban
flibuster steamer Three Friends attempted
to land her cargo Of arms and munitions and
party Of forty Cubans at the mouth Of the
San Juan River, in the district Of Las
Guisaimas, Puerto Principe Province, few
nights ago. Surprised and trapped by a
heavily armed Spanish coasting launch
and large gunboat, and attacked
by cannonade of two and twelve
pound shells at close range. the
dlibuster in self-defence returned the
attack with twelve ponnder and volleys Of
rifle fire, and checked and drove of her pur-
suers. The battle was sea victory for the
flag Of Cuba, as the ilibuster escaped with
out a scratch from deadly fire, and drove
back the flag OF fSpain which fioated over the
two armed vessels.
The first naval engagement OF the Cuban
war came suddenly and Unexpectedly, but
while II lasted history was making with un-
comfortable rapidity for those on board the
f1libuster. For the first time in the records
OF the Cuban rebellion the fire Of Span
ish gunboat was returned by an expedition.
and on the moonlight Caribbean Sea,
under the shadow Of the towering
Trinidad Mountains, the battle OF
Bio San Juan Was fought. Fourteen shots
from two and twelve pound rapid fire guns
were exchanged between the Spanish launch
and the Spanish gunboat on the one side and
an American steamer on the other, with rifle
yolleys making sharper music. While no
damage was done to the defiant filihuster,
the Spanish boats were frightened from the
chase.
At daylight the ocean was clear. and the
landing was effected. The party OF men and
the valuable cargo OF rifles, ammunition,
machetes, cannon, dynamite and supplies
were landed, met by strong body OF insur-
gents and escorted to the main army of Gen.
eral Maxine Gomez.
