Owners of the Dauntless Claim to Have
Grounds For Damages.
Jacksonville, Fla.,.,. Feb. 12-Judge
Locke, of the United States court in ses-
sion at Tampa, today. refused to grant
temporary injunction restraining the
collector of the port of Jacksonville, and
the commander of the revenue cutter
Boutwell, from interfering with the move
ments of the fflibustering steamer Daunt-
less, as long as she is engaged in the
towing and wrecking business.
Application for the restraining order
was made by the owner of the Dauntless,
but the court declined to go into hearing
Of the case until next Wednesday. 1t is
believed that by that time the supreme
court will have decided the case brought
by the government against the Three
Friends, which was decided by Judge
Locke in favor of the vessel, and which
was taken up on appeal.
Today the steamer Daunt1ess was held
up by the revenue cutter Boutwell, in the
st. Johns river, In front of this city
The Dauntless started down the river to
tow a schooner. but the cutter brought
her to with a blast from her whistle and
the opening of gun port. The owner
of the Dauntless' says that he now has
another good case for damages against
the federal officials for unlawfully detain-
ing the Dauntless while she was engaged
In legitimate business.

DISCSSI0N OF THE TREATY.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on foreign relations will tomor-
row morning endeavor to frame an
amendment that will meet the objections
that have been advanced in debate
against the general treaty of arbitration
with Great Britain, which has been under
discussion in secret session for the past
week. Unless this amendment can be
satisfactorily framed it is probable that
the consideration of the treaty may not
be pushed until after the fourth of
March.
The debate so far has shown that not
five men in the senate look at this treaty
from identically the same standpoint.
1t is charged with being ambiguous, but
this defect is found by different men in
different portions of the instrument. That
1t will be amended before being ratified
is admitted by it's best friends. The
amendments are. in fact. the only things
that win save it, for few, II any, agree

Athens, Feb. 13.-1:15 a. m.-The great
est excitement prevails here The news
papers have issued midnight editions con-
-taining a report that the Valley of Smyr-
ma has chartered a steamer for the pur-
pose of transporting troops to Crete, and
this in face of the assurances given to
tho powers by the porte that Turkey
would not send reinforcements to the
island.
The newspapers and the crowds in the
streets declare that the action of the
Vail is taken with the full cognizance of
the porte, which again proved, If proof
is necessary. that not the slightest con-
fidence can be placed in it's assurances
or promises.
Hearty denunciations of the Turkish
government are heard on every hand.
The city is alive at this hour, and the
principal streets are filled with Greeks,
who demand that the Grecian warships
shall prevent the further landing of
troops in Crete. 1t is believed here that
orders to that effect have already been
given to Prince George, and there is no
doubt that he will fully carry out his
instructions, in which case war with Tur-
key would probably result, unless diplo-
macy of superior force should be en-
ployed to divert Greece from her de-
termina ton to protect the Grecian Chris
tianS, and also, perhaps, to bring about
the long sought for annexa tion of the
island

Emilio Nunez and Others Ar
rested in Havana.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 12.-Colonel
Perez Carlo, dispatch chief of the stan
of the late General Maceo, is in the city.
He is well yersed as to the state OF al
fairs in Cuba, and is well acquainted
with Sylvester Scovel, the correspondent
under arrest in Cuba. and the circum-
stances that attended his presence in the
Cuban line.
In speaking of Scoyel, Colonel CARO-
said: "Sylvester Scovel has never re-
ceived comn,ission.fr General Maceo'
and 1 am In a good position to know 1t
IL such a thing had taken place. ScoVel'
Beyson, Woodward ard other correspond
ents visited the Cuban camp and 1t was
the custom for them TO march with the
staff officers as was suggested and MAIN
tanned by the generals of the armies as ai
courtesy to all correspondents.
"The statement of Dupuy de LONE,
Spanish minister at Washington, that
Scovel is a commissioned officer in the
Cuban army, is not true, for he joined
the Cuban forces at a camp called La
Reforma in Santa Espiritu, aftef we
had crossed the trocha at Moron, and ala
SO as a correspondent from the New YORK
World. He addressed General Gomez
first. and afterwards General Maceo and
during the entire time while with us, he
marched with the staff officers by the re-
quest of the commanders of the dlfIerent
armies. AT one time he was with Generdi
Gomez. and at other times he stayed with
Maceo's command, changing as he liked
and having no restrictions thrown ABOUT
him as would have been the case had ne
been an officer under commission from
either of the generals.
He was never known to have marched
with us as an officer or with any authori-
ty to command a single man. He did not
desire it and would not have accepted
it had it been offered"
In speaking of the same affair, Gen.
Nunez said this morning: "Scoyel was
in this city about month ago and told
me of his intentions of going into the Gu
ban camps, and l asked him to take some
letters to Gen. Maceo. and he said In re-
ply, my instructions from my paper are
of such a nature that cannot do it, and
will not do anything in any way whatso-
ever that might be construed as help
to the Cubans / am directed TO remain
neutral and state only the truth in re-
gard to affairs in Cuba"

Comment of London Newspapers.

LONDON, June 15.-All the afternoon
newspapers discuss the Hawaiian question
in the light of the proposed annexation of
the island TO the United States. The Globe
says: THE question is essentially interna-
tional and cannot be disposed of by the
decree of one power alone. Great Britain
and France are in the same positions to-
wards Hawaii as the United States. In our
case if Hawaii is converted into a strong
naval station it will practically command
the alternative route between Vancouver,
Australia and the far East, and Great Brit
ain has every right to be consulted before
the scheme is carried farther. Lord Salis-
bury's consent should not be given unless
a quid pro quo is given for tearing UP the
present treaty.
Per contra, the PAN Mall Gazette remarks:
1T seems probable that Hawaii will be
under the stars and stripes shortly ana no
body here will say q word against II. we
should be glad to see Hawaii an American,
rather than any other colony.
The Westminster Gazette says Great
Britain will not object to the annexation OF
Hawaii though it remains TO be seen now
Japan will take Americas action.
The morning papers continue TO discuss
the question of the annexation of hawaii
to the United States The Daily Graphic
says: Had England been in the position
of the United States she would probably
have annexed Hawaii years ago..

correspondent gives a forecast of the con-
United States have entered upon the thorny
path of colonial expansion. we wish the
new experiment though with some mis-
giVingS, all success.

JAMES P. HARLAN KILLED.
Brother of the Associate Justice Run

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 15.-James p
Harlan, a brother of Associate Justice Har-
Ian, was accidentally killed by a train on
the Louisville, Henderson 6, ST. Louis Rail-
road this afternoon near the City Aims
House. Mr. Harlan, who was about sew
enty years old, was once one of the most
prominent lawyers in the State, enjoying
large practice and holding high judi
cial office in this county. He was, how
ever, the victim of an uncomfortable ap-
petite for liquor and was incapaciated for
business despite the efforts of his relatives
and friends to bring about his cure. He
practiced law for several years in Kansas
and returning to Louisville about three
years ago, voluntarily entered the aims
house, where he has since resided.
Judge Harlan was on the way to the rail-
way station to purchase the evening papers,
as was his custom, when the train overlook
him., He was not dependent upon the CITY
charities, but has always been literally sup
piled with money by his relatives. He pre-
ferred to live al the institution because of
a personal friendship for the superintend-
ent.
