Fernandina, Fla, May 19.-An expedition
for Cuba is to leave Fernandina probably
tonight, at least the present indications
look like it, It has leaked out that at
Victora cottage. where Col y. B. Borden
lives, he has slowed away a number OF
prominent Cubans. who have been here
since yesterday morning, and since their
arrival the house shows a deserted ap,
pearance, and the blinds are closed, but
consultations and concealment of those
there are the reasons for this quietness,
which is unusual at this house.
It has been noticed that any one call
ing at the house is met by a clerk and
his business asked. It is also known that
among those concealed at Victoria cot
tage are Capt. w. T. Lewis former com
mander Of the Three Friends who con-
Quoted several successful expeditions to
Cuba, and II. NJ. Fritot of Jacksonville.
These gentlemen and a number of Gu
bans arrived here on Monday. They sep
arated when they arrived, and some even
got off the train outside of the city SO
that the party would not be noticed go
ing to Col Bordens house.
The yacht Minim, which has done so
much work in the Cuban cause and which
suffered from her recent collision with
the yacht Dungeness, has had since yes
terday morning a number of ship carpen-
ters hard at work on her to finish repairs,
which looks as though she will be used
again, probably to convoy and carry the
dispatches and men to some boat which
is to carry the expedition. The revenue
cutter Colfax, which has been in port
since the last expedition, was foiled some
weeks ago, had up steam all last night,
as well as to-day, and her men are kept
aboard and none were on the street last
night, as is usually the case. The Span
sh consulate shows an usual activity and
the Pinkerton men are on hand again and
on a sharp lookout for any movement of
the kind. Stores were put on the board
the Minim about a week ago, when it was
said she was going to take party on a
fishing trip.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE REMfNGToNs WIN OUT.
selected by the Police Commissions
ers as the Best Wheel in Savannah
or Anywhere for Good Hard Ser
ViceabIe Police Use.

Two Remington Roadsters were selec-
ted out of three wheels purchased. This
shows conclusively that Savannah's Po-
lice Commissioners are wise men and
know good bicycles when they are offered
them. That's why the Remingtons are
selected.
The Remington wheels were in compe-
tition with all the other bicycles in Sa-
Yannah, as nearly all dealers put in bids.
and as there are about 10 cycle dealers
in Savannah nearly every make of bicycle
was considered, probably not less than
sixty makes being before the commits
sioners.
In the selection of the Remington one
can well imagine what a high estimate
must be placed on it by knowing ones.
We have a large quantity of the Purple
and White sashes to give out, and can
furnish plenty of lanterns and candles at
~ cents each.
So call at once and get your supply.
We want all our riders to meet at 1880
sharp the night of parade in the square
by the odd Fellows Hall.
All riders of our various wheels are re-
quested to turn out with the 10th Cen
fury Club.

RATES NOT TO BE REDUCED.
THE GRIFFIN FIRMS PETITION FOR
BIG CUT DENIED.

The Representative of the Rail-
roads Not Put to the Trouble Of
Making a Reply so the Demand.
The Case Completely COlIapses At
ter the Introduction of Few
Scraps of Evidence by Mr.. Brewer.
MIR. EEan Denies Knowledge of the
CentraTs Ownership.
Atlanta. Ga May 19.-The effort of
Brewer & Hanleiter of Griffin 10 get the
railroad commission 10 reduce al freight
rates in the state 33ls per cent. met with a
signal defeat to-day. Owing to the sudden
collapse of the case, the railroad men were
not put to the trouble of making a reply.
After Mr.. Brewer of the peuuoning firm
had introduced a few scraps Of evidence,
and made a talk of fifteen minutes, Chair
man Trammel held a brief consultation
with the other members of the commits
sion and announced that they did not care
TO hear from the railroads.
The evidence introduced by Mr.. Brewer
was to the effect that a local rate of So
cents first-class is charged from Atlanta
to Griffin, and on through business from
Cincinnati the prorate from Atlanta to
Macon IS Is cents He made some general
charges without mentioning names, to the
effect that the West Point Terminal
crowd stole the Central railroad and
wrecked it, Mr.. Brewer put Vice Presi-
dent Egan of the Central on the stand as
a witness. and asked him who owned that
road. Mr.. Egan replied that he did not
know, as he was not present when some
of the transactions by which it changed
hands took place.
In the preliminary proceedings the rail-
roads filed an answer 10 the petition of
Brewer Hanleter denying the aver
ments as TO the unreasonableness of rates,
over-capitalization, etc.
George c. Smith of the Atlanta and West
Point railroad filed an able and elaborate
argument backed up with statistics,
showing the injustice of a reduction of
rates under existing circumstances.
Vice President Finley OF the Southern
railway had a similar written argument
with deliberately prepared statistics, but
did not file it when the commission an
nounced that it did not care to hear from
the railroads.
