Jacksonville Fla, Jan. 8-The dis patch sent out from Atlanta, Ga, under date of January. 6. stating that Hon. Charles DQughtery,s formerly congress- man from the second district of Florida, had been killed in Cuba, while fighting with the insurgents. is a lie out of the whole cloth. The dispatch states that many te1egrams had been sent to Florida inquiring as, to the whereabouts of MT. Dougherty and that replies were receiy- ed stating that the ex-congressman went to Cuba some months ago and had not been heard of since. This statement is also lie. No such telegrams were sent to Florida. At the very time the Atlanta fakir was sending his lying dispatches oyer the country Mir Dougherty was walking the streets of Jacksonville In perfect health. He has not been to Cuba nor does he intend to go.~-Mr. Dougherty would like to succeed MT.

CONDITION AT sT. PAUL.

Marked Activity in Banking Circles-The
 City in Bad Way Financially.
 St. Paul., Minn., Jan. S.4-The banks of St. Paul and Minneapolis are recovering much more rapidly than. was expected from the shock of the past two weeks. The assets ofsthe Germania bank of St. Paul, have been found in excellent shape and the reorganiza ton will be pushed with all possible speed.
 t The committee appointed by depositorS of the Bank of Minnesota to look after their interests while a reorganization is being perfected has met William Daw- son, president and William Dawson, Jr., cashier of the bank and obtained from them as detailed accounts of the actual condition of the bank as they could fur nish. The committee represents de- positors who had on deposit more than $l,O00,000. and are willing to act together in the mattersof reorganization through the committee. It expects to have a plan to present to the depositors shortly by which they will eventually receive dollar for dollar.
 A serious question now being agitated is what the city and county is to do for funds with which to carry on the current business. In round figures there is tied up in the city and county-funds in the four suspended banks $3000O0, of which $247,000 belongs to the city, and $53,000 10 the county

HELPING THE sPANIARDs.

There is not any question, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat but that the United States government from whatever motive it may be doing so,
 is helping the Spaniards to crush the in- surgents with the patrol system which it has established and maintains around the coast of Florida.
 The pretext of the administration is
 that it is patrolling the Florida seaboard to prevent the issue therefrom of filibus-
 tering expeditions going to carry aid to the Cubans against the Spaniards. not from any love that the administration has to the Spaniards, but because such
 expeditions intended to damage friend
 ly nation are breaches of the neutrality
 laws and are likely to have to be atoned
 for later with heavy indemnities from
 this country to Spain. But whether this
 pretext be the real motive of the ad-
 ministration in the action it is taking, or
 not, at any rate it is very certain that the action, incidentally or otherwise. Is of
 great advantage to the Spaniards and of
 much detriment to the Cubans. With
 the American revenue cutters and naval
 vessels playing sentry over the Fliroda
 coasts, and the Spanish gunboats block
 ading the coasts of Cuba, it is becoming
 increasingly difficult for the Cubans to
 obtain any aid from the outside.
 A sneaking opinion is beginning to gath
 CT force that the motive which the ad-
 mnistration puts forth ostensbly as
 it's reason for patrolling the Florida
 coasts is not its genuine motive; and that its real motive is much less credita- ble than the ostensible one. It is admit ted that for several weeks past negotia- tions have been going forward between the government of the United States and the government of Spain looking to a patchng-up of the trouble between Spain and her colony, the basis of the negotia- tionssbeing not a recognition of the in- dependence of the island, but of the in- troduction by Spain of certain reforms far as can be learned, the Spanish gov ernment will not hear of the introdrc- tion of the contemplated reforms or ,of reforms of any kind until such time as the west end of the island has been swept clear of revolution. The resistance in the western district Is regarded as the revolutions backbone; and when that Is broken the Spaniards will fiatter them selves that the rebellion is constructive1y crushed. and then they can afford to be generous.

From here the gum is sent to the white aproned cook" who adds the purest su- gar and the freshest of cream, granu- lated pepsin powdered gum of kola, or other desired ingredients to it, and cooks it in a steam jacketed cauldron, where it is turned and mixed by an ingenious double-acting heater, or rotating paddle, until it has assumed the consistency of bread dough.

SCHEME FOR SHOOTING NIAGARA New York Tribune

SCHEME FOR SHOOTING NIAGARA. New York Tribune.
 A great many foolhardy schemes for going over Niagara falls have been con- ceived in the past, but when it comes to actual experiment most of the men who propose them back out. It is not unlike iy that this will be the- case with a Freuchman, M CaSsaquenne, who brings forward the latest suggestion of this sort However, it Is only fair to say that while his plan involves a greet deal of risk, it is trifie more sensible than some others.
 M. Cassaquenne announces his inten- tion of building for this trip an open boat. with sharp keel and very high stern He would then rig on each side of il a broad, horizontal rigid wing, whose dimensions fore. and aft would be greater than the lateral. These wings, or aeroplanes. will Cor should) be large for two or three minutes, when it shoots forward from the crest of the ia Ills, pro- vided that it ever gets there. The in- ventors theory that the river will give the boat considerable impetus at the start, and that when the critical moment and spot are reached, the thing will go sailing out into space. gently descending by gravitation, just as Herr Lilienthal did with his flying machine.
 Until experiments have been tried Gas
 
 cannot say just where to distribute the ballast in a craft like this, in order to secure a horizontal flight at first; nor whether the boat could be lsteered around a curve. It must be remembered that just below the falls the course of the Niagara river sweIves sharply around to the right hand. If a boat should shoot the cataract well oxer toward the Cana idan shore, as is proposed. and went straight ahead and could be sustained al a proper level it would land high and dry on the Canadian side; while if it kept straight ahead, but sank little In the air, 1t would come into collision with the air, 1t would come into collision with the face of the cliff which is here about 150 feet high. By swinging away to the right. however the boat would escape this danger. and drop into the turnultous waters below, only to be exposed to fresh peril. If M. Cassa- quenne has any regard for his fife. he wotild doswen to send a few trial boats over the route in advance and watch
