Jacksonville, Fla, April 5.-The
cruiser Vcsuvius prevented a Cuban
expedition from leaving Fernandna
last night and captured the tug Alex
ander Jones of Wilmington, n. G. The
cruiser left here suddenly yesterday
afternoon on information furnished by
Spanish Vice Consul Potous that an eX
petition would leave Fernandina at II
o'clock ut night The cruiser went
down the river and anchored off Fer
nandina bar. At 10 o'clock tug with
only two lights burning at the mast
head was seen to approach and the
flash light of the Nesuvius was thrown
upon her. The tug proved to be the
Alexander Jones and the captain gave
as an excuse for his presence that he
was waiting for tow. An officer from
the Vcsuvlus was placed aboard and
then the cruiser went out to sea in
search of the Bermuda which was eX-
pected a steamer was finally seen
coming from the south having the
same signals displayed as those of the

at which the steamer turned and start

the Vesuvius brought the steamer to
standstill, however and she was
seen to be the Bermuda. The Ber-
muda was outside the three mile limit

that the commander of the Nesvius
had no authority to delay her. The
Bermuda apparently had no cargo on
board, standing very high out of the
water.
The Jones was escorted into the port
of Fernandina and turned over to Col

deputy on board. The tug probably
will be fined for violation of the navi
cation laws in having only two light;
displayed. The plan of the Cubans
was for General Sangullly to leave this
city with party of Cubans for Fer
nandina. A small tug was then tC

and ammunition and take them out t.
the bar where they were to be met by
the tug Jones with coal and provisions

plans from being carried out.

The late Sir John Millais was onco
attending celebrated case at Bow

seat in the press box In front of him
sat youthful new addition to the staff
of a leading London illustrated.
Don't you think that would be an
improvement suggested the great
artist mildly pointing out some techni-
cal point in the sketch the youngster
was engaged on. The young fellow
was highly indignant at first, but even
tually adopted the alteration with such
Improvement that he turned round and
inquired somewhat patronizingly,
"Who may you be, sir, that presume to
correct my work." For answer he re-

Every public speaker is liable to say
what Punch calls things one could
wish to have expressed otherwise" Not
long since, at meeting Of ministers,
where a sermon that had caused very
general comment was criticised, q
Brooklyn pastor said several ill-consid-
cred things about the preacher Of the
discourse. The next morning, on see
ing them in the cold type of newspa-
per, they seemed to him rude and of
fensive. Immediately-being a Chris
tian and gentleman-he wrote to the
editor letter for publication in the
next issue of the paper, wherein he
withdrew the offensive words as "un-
warranted and uncalled for" and con-
veying an unfriendly judgment which
the criticised preacher did not deserve.
The apology confessed the wrong and
made amends for the infelicitous
speech. That was not remarkable.
Gentlemen do that every day. But
what is remarkable about it is, that it
exhibits one theologian, who, living in
an atmosphere where shere is no odium
theologicum Theological hatred), can
differ from another theologian without
exhibiting the rancor which cloaks it.
self under the guise of zeal for the
truth.

The most curious, as well as one OF
the rarest books, known to collectors,
is the edition of the "Vulgate," issued
by Pope sixtus V. some time between
1886 and 1890. The book, as Disraeli de-
scribes it, fairly swarmed with ezra
tai" so numerous were they that num-
Der of printer paper slips containing
the proper words were pasted over the
blunders, and this device proving inef-
fectual, on account of the immense
number of mistakes, as many of the CO.
pies as could be found we're called in
and destroyed. Only few remain and
the book with its paper patches com
mands an extremely high price.

In the United States senate a bill has
lately been introduced to establish a
national department of public health.
The bill Is the result of efforts by the
Pan-American Medical Congress, a
gathering of physicians from the coun-
tries of North, South and Central
America. Such a department, If es-
tablished, would study in a systematic
and scientific way, not only diseases
and their prevention or cure but many
kindred matters which have quite as
important bearing upon the welfare
of the people matters such as the con-
dition of the laborlng classes, their
workshops ana dwellings, the cost and
nutritive value Of various kinds Of food,
the purity of water supplies. etc.
