WASHINGTON, May 31.-For the first
time a representative of the Cuban
junta has been received at the state de-
partment.
Senior Tomas Estrada Palma head of
the Cuba junta of New York, chief del
egate in the United States of the Cuban
government, called at the department.
Secretary Sherman, in extending the
invitation to Senior Palma, was obliged
to do so unofficially, and to receive him
as an American citizen. The president
was also "unofficially" aware OF his
visit.
The proposition that the Cubans buy
the island was discussed by Secretary
Sherman, Assistant Secretary Day and
Senior Palma. 1t was indicated by Senior
Palma that the insurgents are willing to
purchase their freedom at reasonable
price. A full understanding prevailed
that the necessary funds could be easily
secured to float the bonds whenever
Spain agrees TO enter into negotiations
looking to q sale of Cuba. The sanction
of the junta was given to the proposed
institution of correspondence having in
view the REIMBURSEMENT Of control in
Cuba by Spain for q monetary consider

are willing to pay, if discussed, was not

Cuba-other Cuban War News.
WILMINGTON, N. c., May 31.--The
Messenger prints detailed account of
the loading,of the tug Alexander Jones
and her departure with the schooner
John ID. Long of a Cuban filibustering
expedition. The facts were obtained
from member of the crew of the AL
exander Jones, which returned to port
several days ago. His story substantially
is as follows:
On Thursday night, May ID, the
Jones took on a cargo of rifles, machetes,
rapid-fire guns and ammunition at the
wharf Of the Wilmington, Newbern
and Norfolk railway, in the southern
limits of the city. Before she had en-
tirely finished her cargo report was
started that officers were approaching
and that the revenue cutter Morrill, was
getting up steam. Taking alarm at this
10 40 a. m. and crossed the bar and an
chored outside.
The schooner John D. Long, having
meanwhile been loaded with coal and
other material at the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad wharf, was shortly aft
erwards towed out to sea by the tug ia
cob Brandon, going past the revenue
hA
General Nunez and another officer of
the Cuban army, a Cuban pilot and
Captain John O'Brien, of the filIbuster-
ing tug Dauntless. At the sea buoy they
went ON board the Jones, anchored near
by, and Captain O'Brien took charge of
the expedition. A hawser was made
fast from the Jones to the schooner, and
early Friday morning the tug steamed
to the south with her tow. The Jacob
Brandon returned to Southport.
On the way down the coast no port
was entered, but off Palm Beach, on the
coast of Florida, 90 Cubans were taken
on board The Jones then towed the
schooner to the Bahamas, and in the
vicinity anchored in the open sea on
uSSudy, may 40
On Thursday morning, May 20, the
fiibuster Dauntless hove in sight and
came alongside the Jones and the
schooner. She cOaled from the schooner
took cargo of arms from the Jones
and with Captain O'Brien in command
headed for the Cuban coast about 60
miles away. She left the Jones be-
tween and o'clock Thursday night,
made a successful landing Ill Cuba near
Matanzas and after an absence of "a
hours exactly, returned to the Jones,
took another cargo of war material and
started for Cuba Friday night. On the
last trip General Nunez and the 81 Gu
bans left the Jones and went ON board
the Dauntless and accompanied Captain
O'Brien.
When the Dauntless left with her sec
ond cargo the Jones coaled from the
schooner, lowed her off Cape Canaveral,
Fla, and turned her loose. She sailed
back and got into Southport yesterday
morning.
The cargo carried out of here was val
ued at $7S, 900, and is said to have been
the second largest ever landed in Cuba.
The member of the crew above re-
ferred to says there is no truth in the
story that the Jones was chased and
fired on by Spanish war vessel. The
Jones never saw the smoke of such a
war vessel while on her trip.

John II. McLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour,
nails falling to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its ejaculation
increased by the addition Of Owl
400, 200 new subscribers; the mo-
substantial and coveted testimonial 4
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, MIR. Mclean frankly answers.
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints NJ:

whether or not the chief eX ecuflYe of the

way as to meet the approval OF their

Some time ago the printing pressmen sug-
