CUBANS JUBILANT.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 5.-Cubans in this city are enthusiastic over the reported landing of large expedition consisting of 1,04S Mauser rifles, one twelve pound field piece, with 200 shells, 100000 rounds of ammunition. 200 pounds of dynamite and forty men. on the east coast of Cuba last night. Early this morning Col
 Nunez. J. E. Cartaya, and three others came in town. It is supposed they werei landed from the Dauntless and it soon became known that the Cubans had re- ceived good news. Several times last week strange Cubans were seen in the city, but they almost immediately disap- peared. About the same time 1t was rumored that the Three Friends had failed in her endeavor to land on the Cuban coast and had landed the men and ammunition on No Name key where some other vessel would take them and make another attempt to land them in Cuba The Cubans are very close mouthed as to the locality of the landing, claiming that they expect to try another in the same place at an early date and it would only be placing the Spanish oD their guard

METHOD IN HIS MADNESS.

Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 5.-An eIkmination of the accounts and the payefs of Fred M Inglehart, the attorney who was de- clared insane and sent to the Middletown state hospital several months ago, has brought to light the fact that he misap- propriated $54, 900 belonging to his clients. A dozen lawyers who have been work ing for months to find out what became of the money have been unsuccessful in their efforts and although Ing1ehart was generally supposed to have been wealthy man, but not a cent of his own money can be found. Everything he had has been lost, but what became of it cannot be ascertained by the most dili- gent search. Just when Inglehart be- gan to take the money he held for his clients is not definitely known, but some of the irregular transactions go back five or six years. The greater part, how ever, occurred within the last year or two. One of the cases in which he mis- appropriated funds of a client was taken to the district attorneys office and the papers are now on file there. It was not pressed because the interested parties became convinced that Inglehart was not responsible for his acts and that crim- inal prosecution would be useless.

W. c. GARRETT AND EMIL LESSER

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 5.-(Special)- Gov. Johnston this afternoon appointed w. c. Garrett and Emil Lesser for po- lice commissioners in Birmingham.
 An exceedingly important decision was handed down by the supreme court to- day. It was in the case of Drenuen & Co. vs. the Mercantile Trust and Deposit company, which was appealed from the Birmingham municipal courts. The case was reversed and remanded by Associate Justice Mcclellan, all of the justices as senting excepting Justice Coleman.
 The opinion is a lengthy one. It Is held that the claims of laborers for services performed or material men for material furnished in keeping manufacturing con- cerns in operation are prior to the lien of bondholders under a mortgage executed even prior to the performance of the la bor
 The opinion applies the doctrine of Fos- dick vs. Schall in the 9Sth United States, which was there made applicable to rail- roads only, to all corporations, private as we'll as public. The decision created a breeze in court circles here.
 The following other decisions were rendered by the supreme court today:

SOMETHING OF A BREEZE
Created in Local Circles By the
 Appointments OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OfPolice Commissioners of Birmingham-Mr. Crawford Resigns and Mir. Lesser Says
 He Positively Will Not Accept.

The long looked for appointments to fill existing vacancies on the board of police commissioners of this city were an- nounced by Gov. Johnston yesterday. His excellency named MT w. c. Garrett to succeed himself, and MT. Emil Lesser to succeed Mr. T. F. Thornton.
 The announcement of the Governors choice created quite breeze in many circles and subsequent events raised a perfect wind storm, as 1t were
 The vacancies on the board occurred by limitation at midnight, December 31, 1896 yMessrs Garrett and Thornton hay ing served their full terms MT. Garrett was candidate for reappointment, while MT. Thornton did not enter the list Both gentlemen during their terms of service were always prompt at the meetings of the board and participated in the many deliberations of that body.
 THE WIND RISES.
 Hardly had the announcement been made when 1t became common talk that MT. Webb w. Crawford, appointed Jan uary 1, 1896, by Gov William c. Oates, had rendered his resignation to Gov. Johnston.
 Mr. Crawford was seen at his home on the South Highlands last night and to the query as to the correctness of the report, replied, with his usual pleasant smile: 'I wired the Governor this af- ternoon rendering him my resignation as a member of the police commission of Birmingham and requested that he ac- cept the same"
 MT. Crawford did not assign any req son for his action nor was he interrogated in that direction, the reporter feeling that MT. Crawford had the right to re- sign if he chose so to do, without ex- blaming his action either to the Governor or a newspaper man.
 THE SECOND WIND. The second breeze came in the shape of an announcement that MT. Emil Les ser had declined the honor rendered him by the chief executive. MT. Lesser was seen at late hour last night by State Herald reporter and to the query as to the correctness of the rumor, replied very courteously:
 T have received no official notification as to my appointment, excepting a tele- gram from the Governors private secre- tary and I must say that I cannot and will not accept the appointment"
 And the matter thus stands.

Says He Expects to Put Down the Re-
 bellion in the Near Future.
 Madrid, Jan. 1.-The Imparcial pub- fishes a report of an interview had by the correspondent of the paper in Havana with Capt.-Gen. Weyler yesterday. Gen. Weyler is quoted as saying that he is greatly surprised at the course taken by certain Madrid newspapers in charging that gross corruption exists in the mii- tary administration in Cuba. Doubtless, he says, there have been some abuses, but those have been remedied whenever they have become known. In proof of this the captaip-general gives instances of his dismissal of several judges for fraudulent practices in the purchase of horses and mules in the last campaign in the Pinar del Rio province. Gen. Wey- Ter says he expects to put an end to the rebellion in the Havana district within a fortnight and to accomplish the pacifica- ton of the island to the Jucaro trocha in the Matanzas province long before the rainy season sets in. The entire situa- ton, Gen. Weyler thinks, presents an ex- ceptionally good aspect. He is still of the belief that military action ought to be allowed to free course until the end of the rebellion, and he is also convinced that no reform in the administration is now necessary. -
 A dispatch from Havana says the ne- gro rebels in Cuba are greatly displeased at the appointment of the insurgent lead- CT, Ruis Rivera, sto succeed Maceo, and are deserting in large numbers

 The trouble started yesterday, when Father Bogacki, the priest of St. Stanis- laus parish, refused to celebrate mass over the remains of a member of St. Miohaers society. He also refused to give up the banner of the society, which was in the church, and riot was only averted at that time by the priest de- livering the banner to the infuriated Poles.

When the priest and officer appeared the latter became scared and started 10 run. He was clubbed several times over the head. but managed to leave the mob be- hind and gave himself up to the authori- ties at the Central station. Bogack was not molested and was driven to St. James parsonage After the priest had vacated the crowd slowly dispersed. During the riot it is said several shots were fred There is fear that the Poles will set lire to the parsonage tonight and the fire de- partment men have been warned to pro- tect the hose from being cut in case fire is started.

After the speech the joint resolution was referred to the committee on finance.
 A memorial was presented from the Massachusetts Historical society for the repair and preservation of the old frigate Constitution as naval museum, just as Ne1son's battleship Victory Is preserved at Portsmouth, England.
