TAMPA, Fla. Aug, 2s-rhe expedl-

layed somewhat by a washout occa-
stoned by heavy rains on the Punta
Gorda division of the Plant system, The
party did not embark In tug at cleve-

away.
The train arrived at Cleveland at HAS
p. m, and seventy-tive Cubans landed
with their baggage, Each had va
llse and many had bundles from two to
three feet long. covered with white can
vas. They bore no arms. The Cubans
are very much elated, but some OF them
are fearful OF the result Of an expedition
that started under Spanish colors. The
Spaniards are pleased for they predict
that an nxnsdiJlon starting under the
Spanish colors Is likely to end under

day on the French liner La Champagne,
from Havre.
He came over with the body Of his
wife, which IS TO be Inferred in Wood
lands cemetery, in Philadelphia. Or,
Evans Is now rs years old, and Is said to
be worth S35 100000. About five millions
OF this property is in New York City real
estate, the remainder in Paris and else
where. This fortune has been gathered
since Dr. Evans first went to Paris from
Philadelphia in the forties. During the
empire OF Napoleon III, his fame as
dentist was worldwide, In that capac-
lty he served Napoleon, the Empress
Eugene and all the monarchs OF Europe
except Queen Victoria and the present
sultan OF Turkey, Victurla's children
and the present czar OF Russia, when
children, were his patients, DR.. Evans

SEATTLE. Aug. SO.-AdvlceS from the
Rering sea, per steamer Portland, show
that the entire catch of the North Amer
lean Commercial Company for the sea-
son was 10000 skins, which are now en-
route to San Francisco on the steamer
Del Norte. Last years catch amounted
TO over $4,000 skins, Instead OF over 70
aeaiers that hunted last year In the Ber-
ing sea, there are but 20 this season.
With about one-thlrd the sealers In the
Hea the catch Is not expected to be much
greater than last season. The sealsrs
are figuring on 1900 skins as being a
high number. Meagfe reports returned
so far frm the patrol show that the

All OF the Berlng patrol had not reported
in when the Portland left Dutch harbor
