TuE DauntIess Loaded with Munitions
of War in Marlborough Bay, Flor
ida, Monday Night.

TAMPA Fla. June ia vessel sup
posed to be the Dauntless came into Hills
borough bay last night and took on cargo
of arms and ammunition from a schooner
lying at anchor off the mouth of the .Alifa
river, and then sailed away. A report was
sent cut yesterday that the Dauntless had
sailed from Key West with an expedition.
1t was circulated by those interested to
throw the officers off their guard, and the
Dauntless came in last night and get her
cargo. The two boats were tied up until
about II o'clock and in the moonlight could
be plainly seen from the river front. j. e.
Cartaya and Charles Silva are the only
ones who are known to be aboard and they
came up from Key West
The schooner came into the bay and an
chored Saturday afternoon. Her name is
not known. She was two masted and is
about $50 tons Her hull was black and she
was evidently well loaded Quite number
of men went from West Tampa, striking
across the country and proceeding TO a
point on the bay shore, took to boats near
the place where the Colonel Calleros expe-
dition embarked. The expedition is well
planned, and was gone fully twelve hours
before the authorities or Spanish consul
knew that anything was going on, so COM
pletely were they thrown off their
guard by yesterdays shrewd ruse.
The Dauntless had an engagement to go
on the ways here yesterday, and had gov
eminent boat come up on her unexpectedly
she would have had good excuse for
being in Hillsborough bay. The whole af-
fair was worked very quietly. The mystic
rious schooner left about daylight this
morning. No one seems to know what boat
1t was. Some assert that ii is the Adams,
which received her load from the Biscayne
and then ran up in this harbor to meet a
steamer which would take the munitions
TO Cuba or out to sea TO the Dauntess.
There is also a rumor to the effect that
the schooner halls from the neighborhood
of Carraoele and received her load at a
point where the railroad crosses the river
The presence of captain Parln, a promin-
ent citizen of Carrabeile, IN this city for
the past few days adds strength to the
rumor Since his arrival he has been in
conference with parties formerly connected
with the flibustering business.

with a load of coal in bags. The schooner

arms has not been heard from yet. No
government vessels are in port.

Always Play Cards Tor Money.

England is termed puritanical,
said O New Yorker who has been in
London q good deal, ''but English peo-
pie who consider themselves very prop
or do things sometimes which would
shock people of a similar sort in this
country. For instance, even clergymen
often play cards for money, and women
do SO as q matter Of course. I never
played a game at an English house at
which there was not q stake.
'The stake was small if women were
among the players, and possibly only a
few shillings changed hands, but it
never seemed to occur to any English
people I ever met to play for fun. The
people were of the middle class. which
is anything but fast.
Fancy an American clergyman play
ing cards for money! He would be con-
sldered a bad lot by many if he played
cards even for fun. And certainly a
young woman who arose from a card
table with dollar, more or less, of a
mans money in her possession would
be considered fast to say the least. -

FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY.
England's Traditional Enemy Not Behind

EnglandS Traditional Enemy Not Behind

The French navy ranks next to that
Of England in numbers, while in eff
cheney and fighting qualities the French
ships are fully equal to their English
rivals In fact, in naval architecture the
French early took the lead, and many
of the English types of ships were mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Chautau9uan. One of the chief differ
ences between the English and the
French armored ships today is in the
disposition of the armor and the conse-
quent design of the hull. English de-
signers have striven to protect the men
working the guns, and to do this they
have reduced the length Of the ships
armor. French and naval architects, on
the other hand, have given little atten-
ton to the protection of men and q great
deal to the protection of the water line.
Therefore they have reduced the breadth
Of the ships armor.
1t is worthy of note that France is
the only great power which levies tax
ON such Of her citizens as either do
not enlist in the standing army or VIII
enlist for a shorter term than three
years. Only those who are officially de-
clared "impecunious" are exempt from
such tax. 1t is payable annually as
long as the liability to service lasts, and
the revenue from this source amounts to
about 80, 900, 900 francs, or Sc, 000. 900.
annually.
The officers Of the French army re-
ceive a very thorough education at the
different military schools. AT the head
of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school in
Paris, which admits $50 pupils annually
after a competitive examination. The
course occupies nine months in the year
for two years.
AS it is impossible to keep under arms
for three years the entire annual contin-
gent of recruits, the law provides for
the discharge of thoroughly trained men
at the end Of the first or second year Of
active service in such proportions as to
bring down the peace strength of the
army to the number annually determin-
ed upon by the general assembly. Pref
erences in this connection arc decided
by lot. For this purpose every recruit
at his enrolment draws a number, and
only those having tho highest numbers
| are entitled to consideration.

His mother was the most generous

She found plenty ''to do with it, be-

him, late in her life, that he had never
made her cry. What better benediotion
can q boy have than that?
The boy was redheaded and long
nosed even from the beginnings shy,

THE BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM

From the Fairhaven IN. ~ Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty five years his
wife has been sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlaln's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went to the store and secured
a bottle of 1t. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always. gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

The J. II. Cakes Company and Swiss
Bell Ringers played to an appreciative
audience at the Opera House in this
city on Wednesday night of last week.
There was not as large house as the
Company deserved. owing to the fact
that our city has been the victim of
several inferior troupes during the sea-
son, but the Cakes company can well
be classed among the best that have
visited this part of the country In re-
cent years. The goblet music and bell
ringing were rare treats, especially to
those who never witnessed like per-
Torrance before Mr. Cakes claims
that he has the finest collection of sill
yer bells and French cut goblets in the
United States and announces that he
has standing challenge of $1,000 TO the
man who will produce their equal. Mr..
Nat Blossoms comical songs, dances,
Rotations, etc., were full of fun for
all. His appearance as the colored
Senator from Louisiana was especially
laughable and entertaining. If the
Cakes Co., should ever return TO our
city they Will be greeted by a better
house than they had last Wednesday.

from our immaculate republican friend

ask such person to at once and forever
dlsabuse himself of that impression.
AS understand it, the committee took
such action as the exigency of the time
demanded and not to vent their spleen
On any individuals. Mr.. Axline does not
seem TO understand that Peoples par
ty central committee is an agency
which comes by authority of the people
directly, and that it is their duty to
voice the sentiments of the powers that
made them such-the people. The
statement that have selfish interest
in any resolution the committee has
passed is too absurd for a moments no.
tice. Personally and financially | have
nothing at stake in any issue that the
committee may pass upon; but in COM
mon with the rest of the Populists of
Barber county l have principle in view
and we sincerely hope it Will win. If
we have any public servant or servants
in our ranks who have proved them
selves unfaithfal and traltorous to the
cause they were chosen and pledged to
represent. we should be just as free,
and in my opinion, mOreso, to criticise
and denounce them as though they be-
ionged to the opposition party. [ take
the position that betrayer is far more
dangerous than an avowed enemy.
In conclusion l want to ask the Cres-
set to make one more guess at the
authorship of those resolutions which
seem to bore him so irritatingly. Ii L
could do aught to relieve him l would
cheertully do sc, but candor cOmpels me
to say that he has freed the wrong game.
