A STORY OFF FILrBusrER.
Cubans Are Alleged to Have BOught
Quantity of Ammunitinn

st. Louis October 1S.--Three Cuban pa
triots direct from the scene of the terrible
struggle ON the island have been in st
Louis the last fourteen days, procuring and
shipping ammunition to their compatrots.
Their work is at last complete and they
leave Tomorrow for Cuba. During their
stay they purchased and forwarded to u
Texas ports S225,000 worth Of cartridges,
dynamite, rifles, pistols and saddlery in
tended for the insurgent army. Two ex-
petitions conveying these supplies Will sail
tomorrow night from "a Texas port between
the city OF Bagdad and the port OF CAL
weston. and in the Caribbean sea two other
expeditions will sail. The Cuban agents
are Colgejo Johnston of the staff Of Cen
eral Carlos Roloif, Colonel Eduard Betan-
court and Captain HaZeth. During their
stay IN st. Louis they have stopped at
private houses.
Colonel Johnston, who was interviewed
tonight, said IL left Santiago de t'uta,
the latter part of September Our mission
has been to buy supplies for the depart
ments of the east. Owing to quarantine
we could do nothing in the West and came
North. We have accomplished our mission
here by the purchase of s225,00o worth OF
ammunition and the Nike"
Colonel johnson continued on the subject
of Cuba. Autonomy? No. Nothing but
absolute freedom. We have $4,000 men un-
der arms in Cuba. Virtually the whole Is
land. except Havana. Matanzas and Cienfu-
egos, is in our hands. We could take Ha-
vana by means of dynamite, but we would
have to notify the foreign consuls. who OF
course would notify the enemy; else we
should blow UP our friends.
at meeting OF representatives OF the
whole army Of the east and west as late as
October at Iiolguin, ut which WIS pres
ent ard which has not yet been mentioned
in the papers. 1t was reiterated that Cuba
would accept nothing but absolute freedom.
II is waste OF time for the United States
to treat with Spain regarding autonomy.
with belligerent rights the island will
be free before December 1 OF this year.
without recognition we shall be free before
March OF next year"
ct may be stated parenthetically that a

A DISAGREEMENT FoREsHADowED

A DISAGREEMENT FoRESHADOwED
Chicago. October i9.~-At 40 this morn
Ing information direct from the Jury room
was to the effect that a disagreement had
taken place, both sides are obstinate, and
the chances OF agreement are very slight.
The majority Of the jury is with the State
and DESTROYS OF conviction. Just how the
Jury stands could not be learned, but II
Is now generally thought that the final
outcome viii be disagreement.
Police Captain Schuetter. who worked
much OF the evidence up In the case. prac-
tically admits that he has given UP hopes
OF conviction, but added that the State
would get Luctgort on the next trial.

w cighing Tobacco.

Governor LOwndes has determined that
the question at present existing between
the tobacco merchants and the State to-
bacco inspectors, as to weighing the hogs
heads before or after inspection, shall be
left to the decision of the inspection com
mission of the Leaf Tobacco Merchants
Association and the State tobacco inspec-
tors. Whatever methods they may deter
mine upon will receive his approval and
remain good until the final decision of the
next session of the Legislature.
The leaf tobacco men think that the to-
bacco should be weighed after inspection,
while the State inspectors are inclined to
the belief that the business of the ware
houses is facilitated by weighing before
inspection
Application has been made bv number
of tobacco dealers for the waving of stor-
age charges on tobacco left at the ware
houses After the grower or his gent has
completed the sale of tobacco brought to
the warehouses for inspection he is no
longer responsible for it, but a storage
charge OF 10 cents per month is affixed to
each hogshead until removed by the owner
or shipper. Governor Lowndrs has re-
piled that he is powerless to act in the mat
ter, but will call the attention of the next
session of the Legislature to the abropa-
ton requested.
