Produce Men Nav Make 1t Warm for
Transportation Lines,
THEY HAVE TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN
wharf Company to Build Another
,Shed-GnmblinE Houses Opcn-Ex-
cursion From New Orleans.

Galveston, Texas. July 13.-The meeting
o, the Wholesale Fruit and Produce Deal
ers' association at the Beach hotel last
night, report OF which was printed in
The Post this morning, may prove of con-
siderable Importance.
Although the meeting was an executive
one this can be stated: The association has
called upon the railroads and express COM
panies to adjust certain matters in which
the members OF the association think they
are being treated unfairly II an adjust
ment is not made 1t is likely that the
commission will be appealed to. The rail-
road and express companies are said TO
have exceeded their province as common
carriers, much TO the detriment Of the as
sociaton, and the produce men intend to
have halt called. They think their griev
ance is a Just one. Although they have
not heard officially from all the transport
tation lines in reply to their protest it is
said that the good effect of the lodgment
of their complaint is already manifesting
itself. They will not resort TO extreme
measures unless it is absolutely necessary.
and from present indications they do not
anticipate any such condition.
The association is quite a strong one, the
members claiming that outside of the cot
ton men they are the largest patrons of
the transportation lines in the State A
large part of their shipments is OF perish
able goods. and consequently great deal
depends upon prompt and conscientious
hanuiing by the transportation people. Dis
elimination or injustice OF any kind on
the part of the carriers is therefore very
costly TO the dealers.
Secretary Pabst when asked this morn
ing for statement of Just what the as
ISOLATION complained OF refused to give it.
He said all he wished published was the
following;
The meeting was entirely a harmonious
one. Certain resolutions on express and
railroad companies. relative to rates and
weights, were drafted. on which no final
action was taken. as all the companies had
not been heard from. Other matters of in
terest only TO the association We're taken
up and disposed Of and it is expected will
result in much good 10 the members"

Charles A. Spencer, United States steam
boat inspectors, at Jacksonville, Fla,
have reported to the treasury depart
ment the result of their investigation as
to the sinking of the filibustering steamer
Commodore They said that the vessel

GENERAL ROLOFF ARRESTED
For Completely in a Filibustering Expe-

For Completely in Filibustering Expe-
diton-He is Allowed Bail.
New York, Jan. 14.-General Carlos Ro-
loft, secretary of war, of the Cuban re-
public, was arrested last night on a war;
rant sworn out by the Spanish consul
charging him with violation of the neu-
trality laws in connection with the al
legged filibustering expedition to Cuba on
the staemer Woodall June 2S, 1895. Ro-
loft was locked up in Ludlow street Jail
over night and brought before Commits
sioner Shields this morning. The arrest
came to the knowledge of his friends so
late that they could not arrange for his
release on bail. They are indignant at
the arrest having been SO timed as to
render all efforts to prevent his incarce-
ration futile.
General Roloff was arrested as he was
leaving No. 20 Fulton street, and taken
to Jail at once. He had been i'll for some
time, and when his friends brought some
medicine for him to the jail, he was not
allowed to receive it, the officials saying
they could not give 1t to him without an
order from the marshal or somebody else.
Just who was to issue the order, the Of
fetal failed to make plain.
General Roloff looked worn and hag-
gard when he came before Commissioner
Shields shortly before II o'clock this
morning. Arraigned with him on a simi@
lar charge was DR.. Joseph L Leuis. Each
pleaded not guilty, and were held under
$2,500 bail for examination on Saturday
next. Bail was furnished.

AN INTRICATE QUESTION.
Stamps of the Cuban Republic on Let
ters Appear in This Country.


Stamps of the Cuban Republic on Let
ters Appear in This Country.
Washington, Jan. 14.-The appearance
of the stamps of the so-called Cuban rer
public in the United States mails has
caused much comment here and was the
source of some discussion at the post
office department today as to whether
such stamps could be recognized as
proper for the transmission of mails into
the United States, as this government
has not recognized Cuba as a free and
independent country. This is probably
the first case of it's kind where insurgents
have established their own postoffices
and used their own stamps which We're
transmitted in the mails to the United
States.
At the postoffice department it was
stated that these stamps were good so
far as the United States was concerned,
as our postal laws require only that the
stamps be properly cancelled and the en-
velopes containing mail matter bear the
postmark of regular postotfice. These
regulations have been complied with so
far as the department knows. Had they
not been admissible, the letters bearing
these stamps would have been marked
with the letter "t'' at the receiving offices
in this country, meaning tax collect.
The department knows nothing about
the postoffice stamped on the envelope
except that 1t is in Spanish territory,
and Spain is in the international postal
union.
These stamps might give rise to deli1
cate diplomatic question in which the
postoffice department would take no
part, but refer the matter to the depart
ment of state for settlement.

MORE woRKMEN TO SUFFER.
Another Curtailment in Cotton Mills OF
Massachusetts Imminent.

Another Curtailment in Cotton Mills OF
Massachusetts Imminent.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 14-There is every
prospect that New England is on the
verge of another mill curtailment, al
though not to as large an extent, proba-
bly,, as occurred during last summer.
Hon. T. ]. Coolidge, treasurer of the
Amoskeag mills says: Business has
been so bad the last few weeks that
curtailment of production seems almost
necessary The Fall River mills appear
to be the greatest sufferers, but all lines
are suffering from over-production. l
am in hopes of some improvement in the
spring, but as yet there are no signs OF
any, and it certainly should be apparent
by this time. The great demand for our
goods is a very favorable sign and should
help the situation. The situation Is how
ever, a poor one The impoverishment
of the country prevents the people from
using goods of which they were former
ly large consumers, and in consequence,
we have an over-production in all COM
modities. The only remedy apparent is
the curtailment in production and I
think 1t will have to come shortly in
some of the mills which have been un-
able to sell their goods.
''If curtailment is made, each mill
will probably take its own course. Some
mills may think II cheaper to shut down
entirely for time. while others may
think it cheaper to keep running on forty
hours or less week.

cuLBERsoN HITS HARD.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 14.-Gov. Culberson
sent his message to both houses of the
Texas legislature today. Among the
most important measures touched on in
his recommendations are the platform
demands requiring each express company
to maintain general Office in this state;
also proposition to make life insurance
companies doing business in the state in
vest at least half of their receipts from
this state in Investments here Under
this head the Governor whacks life in
surance companies hard accusing them
of all manner of fraud in wringing money
from the people; touching on the general
assignment law, which will be a great
item in the session, the Governor places
himself on record as favoring an abolition
of the preferred creditors clause, saying
no ends will justify such means as nam
ing preferred creditors.

A NEEDLESS ALARM.
Steamship Delaware Taken for Filibus--

Steamship Delaware Taken for a Filibus-
ter and Boarded by a Revenue Officer.
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. A.-The steam
ship Delaware, of the Clyde's Boston,
Wilmington, Charleston and Jacksonville
line, came into port this morning, having
on board Lieut. Sutherland of the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin. The pres
ence of the lieutenant on board the steam
er is accounted for by the fact that she
was taken for a filibuster when she ap-
peared off the bar.
1t all grew out of the lighting OF a
match, and the officers on the govern
ment vessel, ever on the alert to catch
any; f1libuster along the Florida coast,
flashed its searchlight over the waters to
leara the meaning of the little flame. The
light settled on a small row boat in which
was seated q pilot awaiting the arrival of
the Delaware to bring her in over the
bar.
Nhe appearance of q man in a small
row boat at sea at so early an hour ex-
cited the suspicious of the officers on
board the Dolphin and the boat and man
were kept under close surveillance. When
the Delaware hove in sight, before day
light and the pilot boarded her, the cir
cumstances were regarded with even more
suspicion. Lieut.. Sutherland boarded the
Delaware and came into port with her
Upon arriving here he visited the office
Of Frank Clark, United States district
attorney, but the nature of his visit
could not be learned 1t is presumed,
however, that he was satisfied that the
Delaware was not filibuster, for he re-
turned to the Dolphin about noon, going
down on the revenue cutter Colfax.
Lieut. Sutherland was seen during his
short visit to this city, and when asked
as to the day when the Dolphin would
come into port, replied that he could not
say. The vessel was then waiting for
morning tide. The lieutenant said the
80
were very anxious to visit Jacksonville.
The Dolphin will await the arrival of the
cruiser Newark before coming in, she
being subject to theorders of Capt. Ma
son of the cruiser. He said that the
Newark was expected to arrive off the
bar today from Port Royal Specials
sent out from here stating that the Della
ware was fired on are pure fakes.

Luis Someillan.

During His Existence Is the Sentence Of
Luis Someillan.
Havana, Jan. 14.-At 1890 p. m. today
the sentence was read in the case of Luis
Someillan, naturalized American citizen,
who has been found guilty Of conspiring
against the Spanish government. The
sentence of the tribunal before which he
was tried is that he be imprisoned for
life in chains. Someillan's lawyer will
appeal to the supreme court at Madrid
against the decision of the Havana
tribunal
Among. the various conclusions of the
tribunal, based on the charges against
the prisoner, the following was the most
Important;
whereas, public rumor, in attributing
to Someillan disaffection to the Spanish
cause was not misguided, since b
change of nationality for an unjustified
and unexplained reason suggests a ra-
tional suspicion that whoever breaks in
such a way his traditions and history is
actuated by hatred of, or at least indiffer-
ence to his ancient country, and changes
his nationality in order to, while con-
tinuing to enjoy the advantages of Span
ish legislation and the customs of Span
ish society, carry in the bottom of his
soul the fernent of separation, of which
Someillan is a living and personal ex-
ample"
The tribunal also discarded all the evil
dence favorable to the prisoner, saying
that there was ex parte evidence of a
complot to misguide the tribunal.
Ell Pueblo, the organ of the autonomist
party in Puerto Principe, has been sup
pressed by order of the government. The
editor of the paper, Senior Zequira. a
former correspondent of La Discussion,
and other prominent persons of the To-
cality, have been arrested.
Louis Lays, the young American who
was arrested some months ago at Regla,
across the bay from Havana, was re-
leased today from the Cabanas fortress,
where he had been confined since his ar
rest.
