3 Chicago. Aug. 80. The Times Herald
says: Two hundred mericans and
three carloads of ammunition are sup
posed to leave Chicago. tomorrow
night, for Jacksonville, Florida, there
to board the steamer Soledad. for some
point in Cuba. The date Of the Sole
dads departure is, according to Span
ish reports, fixed for Saturday. The
Americans composing the Chicago Gu
ban contingent are made up mostly OF
the unemployed. They have enlisted
for II months and are to receive a
salary Of $40 month. In the event OF
Cuba's receiving her freedom from
Spain. each soldier Is promised large
tract of land and sum of money.
Lieut.. Col. Dominez of the New York
Junta is now in Chicago. He comes as
the agent Of President Cisneros and
Treasurer Benz. Guerra. He brought
several thousand dollars with him and
he has been using 1t among those who
were found willing to join the insur-
gents. Unless Spanish Consul Fer
nando Staudy Giminez, who will ask
the federal court for an injunction pro-
hibiting the moving of these men and
ammunition Is successful, the men will
meet. today, with knapsacks and rifles
ready to join the forces Of Gomez in
the Pinar Del Rio districts.
BY what line the Cuban soldiers are
to travel between this point and Jack
sonville is not known.
The Spanish consul. acting under or
ders from Minister De LONE. who is
now at Lenox, Mass, has sent out a
notice to all lines running south to the
following effect:
You are hereby warned not to carry
material contraband OF war, or any ma
terial that may subsequently, be used for
or by the Cuban Insurgents. II such ma
terial is shipped the Spanish government
will hold you responsible under the rules
of International law, and by reason of
any such protection as the laws of the
United States give said Spanish govern
ment as far as relates to the shipping or
carrying of goods contraband of war to
non-l eliigerents.
This warning was sent out after the
consul had consulted with his govern
ment's attorney in this city. At a late
hour last night, the consul telegraphed
10 MinisterDe LONE asking if he Shout
apply to United States Attorney BLACK
for an injunction restraining all rail-
t-cads from carrying men or ammuni-
ton supposed to be bound for Florida
points.
On this question the consul is in
doubt. although ne says it appears 20
Sim that under the law he has the same
right to stop men and ammunition here
as he would where they We're about tn
beard ship at Jacksonville. At ali
events. it is likely to be brought to
General Blacks attention.
The Chicago consul, under instruc-
t.ons from Minister De LONE, has also
notified all Spanish agents along the
Mexican coast. to be on the lookout for
filioustering expeditions from Chicago.
Minister De LONE has wired Secre-
tary Sherman at Washington, calling
his attention to the fact that party
of insurgents have engaged passage
from Chicago to Jacksonville and call
ing on the secretary to take measures
to prevent the departure of these mea
to seize whatever ammunition might be
found billed for Florida.

A peculiar circumstance recalled by

Hotchkiss met his death, using a shot

Brooklyn, last Thursday.
Now that Providence has got John
O. Brien to play second. Weigand is to
go to third and Charlie. Bassett to first.
According to one of the st. Louis
players, the Philadelphia club made an
offer of $4,000 and Lave Cross, Fiield,
johnson and Wheeler for Hart, Don

Boston Globe: Frank B. Selee is now
closing his eight year as manager of
the Boston league base ball club. I'm
der his handling the team won the
championship three times in success
sion. 1891 9293. and each year since has
been well up in the pennant race.
Manager Selee has great faith in plenty
of young blood. and in picking up such
pronounced artists as Collins, Tenney,
Stahl. Lewis, Bergen and Klobedanz
has formed a nucleus that is sure to
give Boston first-class team for years
to come. Players such as Collins and
Tenney are the finds of a lifetime, and
are worth thousands of dollars to the
Boston Association. Manager Selee has
gathered players about him who play
the game without the aid of what
Manager Manlon calls INSIDE" ball. In
this way the Boston team is handi-
capped. as several other league mana
gers encourage the kind of ball that
Manager Selee will not stand for.
Frank Selee is one of the few mama
gers who came direct from a minor
league and made a success in the big
league. While not player himself, he
has been good listener, and has
picked up valuable information from
his players, which he has turned to
good advantage. Mr.. Selee is a resi-
dent of Melrose, where he is a member
of several social organizations, and
highly respected by all who know him.

HE'S AFTER 4 FORTUNE.
Alexander Rosenthai Thinks He Mas Great
mining Prospects in Georgia.

New York, Aug. 29.-Alexander s.
Rosenthal, until recently United Stats
cosul at Leghorn. Italy. and now a
lawyer at in this city, started for At
lanta.. Ga, Saturday, on a mission from
which he expects to make a fortune.
Mr.. Rosenthal while in Rome was re-
tanned by titled persons to press claims
to immense. though undeveloped. gold
mining properties in Georgia. A Lon
don banking firm is also interested.
Mr.. Rosenthal was supplanted as
consul about six weeks ago, and went
at once to London, where he was re-
tanned to press the case for the bankers
also. His trip to Georgia is with a view
of bringing recovery proceedings.
Mr.. Rosenthal says that when Sher-
mans army was marching to the sea a
foraging party, headed by Lieut.. AL
bert Boutwell,. ventured so far ahead OF
the main body that when the lieuten-
ant was wounded in skirmish his
comrades left him to the mercy of the
enemy. The young lieutenant awoke
to consciousness in small farm house,
owned by man named Foster, under
the ministering eye of the farmers
only daughter, Sybil. A score of war
plays have ended the same way. The
young soldier and the girl were mar
ried.
This took place not far from Atlanta
Ga. The farmer owned much land. AMI
an occasional touch of gold, whenever
the rains had washed the bed rock
bare, had led him to fancy that his es-
tate contained vast mineral wealth. HI
was loath to part with it, but the SON.
in-law had no such sacred regard 70,
the property, and, at his father-in.
laws death, sold most of his holdings
and went to England to live.
The purchasers of the property tried
mining and farming alternately. with
scant success, and about two years ags
sold the estate to Hungarian syndu.

Lewiston, Aug. 30.-Edward E. Emery,
the Livermore Falls man who was shot

Does Not Propose to Be Kicked IRON National
Committee without Cause.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-William F..
iHarrity, tonight, sent a letter to John
NJ. German, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee, defining his
position on the movement agitated by
certain factions of the party to GUST
him from the national committee. At

committee and of filling such vacancy,
if the same be found to exist. Mr.. .Har-
rity continues:
The language of your call practi-
cally assumes that there is no vacancy
in the Pennsylvania membership of the
Democratic national committee and as
a matter of fact, there is none. 1 was
elected to that position by the Demo-
cratic convention upon the unanimous
recommendation of the Pennsylvania
delegation to that convention. 1 have
not resigned and have not been re-
moved, nor is 1t in the power of any
convention committee or person to re-

tional committee itself. / regret to
notice, that the indications are that
some of the Democratic leaders, among
them some who are officially connected
with the organization of the party, are
bent upon a course which they mis-
takenly think will benefit themselves,
regardless Of its effects upon the party
itself or it's future.
The attack made upon me by some
of these Within the Democratic party
