WAR SINEWS FOR CUBA
United States Officials Tric,sed

HOW THE DAUNTLEss GOT AWAY.
The Expedition Was Gone Fully Twelve
Hours Before the Spanish Consul OF
United States Authorities Knew Of 1t.
Fooled by a False Report.

TAMPA, Fla, June l6.-A vessel sup
posed TO be the Dauntless came into
HillsbOrough bay and took ali a cargo
of arms and ammunition from
schooner lying at anchor Off the mouth
of the Alafia river and then sailed
away.
A report was sent out that the Daunt-
less 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 and
got her cargo. The two boats were
tied up until about IL o'clock at night,
and in the moonlight could be plainly
seen from the river front.
j. h. Cartya 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
anchored Saturday afternoon. Her
name is not known. She was two
masted and about I30 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 expedition
embarked. The expedition was well
planned and was gone fully II hours
before the authorities or Spanish consul
knew that anything was going on, so
completely Were they thrown off their
guard by the shrewd ruse. The Daunt-
less had an engagement TO go on the
ways here ana had Il government boat
come upon her Unexpectedly she would
have had n good excuse for being IN
Hillsborough bay.
The whole affair was worked very
quietly. The mysterious schooner left
about daylight. No one seems to know
what boat this is. Some assert that it
Is the Adams, which received her load
from the Biscayne and then ran up in
this harbor 20 meet steamer which
would take the munitions to Cuba or
out TO sea to the Dauntless.
There is also a rumor to the effect
that the schooner halls from the neigh
borhOOd of Carrabelle and received her
load at point where the railroad
crosses the river. The presence of Cap
tain Parlin, a prominent citizen of Car
rabelle, in this city for the past two
days adds strength TO the rumor. Since
his arrival he has been in conference
with parties formerly very active in the
filibustering business.
KEY WEST, June l6.-A tug resem-
bling the Dauntless passed through the
harbOr and went through the northwest
channel. Her smokestack was painted
red. The tug CLYDE went ont with a
load of coal in bags.
The schooner Adams, that left with
load OF arms, has not been heard
from yet. No government vessels are
in port

No Passengers We're Hurt,

Lancaster, Pa. June ia mixed
freight and passenger train on the Ian
caster and Quarryville railroad, ran into
a draft of five freight cars at Mellingers,
seven miles south of this city, this af-
ternoon, and smashed them ALL The
cars had been standing upon an inclined
siding, and by some means got loose,
ran upon the main track and were not
discovered until the train appeared at
high speed. None of the passengers
was hurt, though all received a severe
shaking up, and Brakeman w. c. Au-
ment, who was on top of a box car that
turned completely over, saved his life by
jumping down an embankment.

One of the most striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters Is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the Unit
ed States. Mr.. a. B. Farquhar, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, is at the head
of the movement.
1t is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen III the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at a disadvantage
y great list of other industries are
practically IN the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their peti-
ton to the senate, declare that their
ability 10 employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill They ask that the Chi
nese wall that Is Obstructing the foreign
trade and cripplng American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists - namely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labOr-is shown by census
figures 10 be a sham. OF the ., 600. 600
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the pc
tltlon that less than 200, 600 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, 600 in
occupations subject to moderate for
elgn competition. The remainder, over
1, 600, 900, do not come at all in compe-
ttlOn with foreign labor
1t Is very plain that the Dingley bill
Is not designed, any more than any other
high protective measure was designed.
to protect American labor or to pro-
duce revenues for the government. 1t is
designed primarily to protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly -Baltimere

STRIKES OF Miners.

Pittsburg, June 10 The miners en-
ployed by the Ella Coal company and
the Webster. on the Pittsburg, McKees-
port and Youghiogheny railroad, are en-
a strike. The diggers had been receiy.
ing 90 cents ton until two weeks ago,
when the rate was cut to 81 cents.
They accepted and worked at that rate
until the convention of miners, when
they made demand for 60 cents.
They were paid in full and discharged,
but were told they could have work any
time at the 81 cent rate.

IT has been the habit of Republican
organs and orators to land with great
extravaganza of praise the liberal policy
of their party in spending money on the
public schools. But there is a string at
tached to their iberality. They appro-
Iriate 50, ,000,0 900 to the public schools,
and then authorize the state treasurer to
ray over the money, not when the mon
~ is due, but when he finds it conven-
lent, He doesn't always find it con-
yenient. The truth is that the extra
appropriations for schools, which were
originally made because of a treasury
surplus, have now become load which
the party is afraid to drop and which it
nds too heavy to carry.

Mustn't Wear Birds.

Boston, June 14.-One of the bills
which was signed by Governor Wolcott
Just before the Propagation OF the legis-
lature is aimed against the destruction
of insect-killing birds for millinery pur-
poses. 1t makes the mere possession of
the skin or feathers of any bird which
Is now protected by law punishable by
the same penalty as has hitherto been
imposed for killing the birds.
The bill was opposed as an interfer-
ence with business, and as exposing wo-
men to punishment for wearing feata-
ers which they now have; but a large
majority voted for the bill on the
ground that the destruction of these
birds has resulted in vast increase of
vegetation-eating insects, causing much
pecunisry loss, wholly aside from ques-
uons of cruelty or fashion.

According to the protective theory the
imposition OF a tax ON nOncompeting
articles adds to their cost to the con-
Eumer. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplified in the proposed duties ON
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. 1t is es-
tlmated that the increased cost of boots
and shoes for one year under the pro-
posed duty would amount to $50. OOO,-
OOO- With free hides our manufacturers
of leather goods have been able to build
up great export trade in footwear. As
Mr.. Blaine said when it was proposed
TO put duty on hides in the law of
1890, 1T will yield a profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs
It. The interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of butch
ers and western ranchmen. Chicago
