FOREST FIRDs IN FLORIDA.

Gainesville, Fla, Jan. S.-A great for
est fire is raging in a part OF the storm
swept district OF Alachua county, and is
carrying everything before it. The fire
broke out late yesterday afternoon, near
Wade small station on the South Flori-
da system and in a few moments was be-
yond the control of all human effort. The
country for several miles around is
solid blaze and the smoke is so dense that
an object cannot be seen two rods ahead.
All of the farmers have been hard at
work protecting their homes, some of
them working when the heat was so in
tense as to cause them almost to faint.
Many miles of fencing have been destroy
ed, but no dwellings. The fire has pro-
ceeded South from Wade, and at last ac-
counts was raging in the direction of
Newbery. Near Wade school was in
session and the pupils had a narrow es-
cape from suffocation. The fire came
within ten feet of the building and the
smoke was so dense that the pupils could
scarcely see each other Farmers ahead
and in the path of the fire have been
warned, and are on their guard

A LAPSE OF THE MIND.

Cape May, N. J., Jan. S.-Skipper
James G. Nickerson, Of the schooner
Lucy awoke at his home this morning
and found that he had regained the men
tai health which fled from him two days
before Christmas. He is entirely ra-
tional, but can give on account of himself
since the accident on that day, when a
heavy plank on the gang way struck his
head. This was at New Pork News, Va.
That day he disappeared and much
searching by his relations without success
followed. A fellow mariner fell in with
him ON the streets Of Wilmington, N. c.,
and recognizing his condition, took him
to the mayor Of that city. That of
fetal found papers on him which disclos-
ed his identity, and notified Nickerson's
relatives. His brother went after him
and brought him home. They reached
here last night. The Captains mind is
still a blank. His recovery this morn
ing was as sudden as his peculiar ar-
hition.

THE CUBAN WAR.
The Insurgent Forces Giving the Spanish
Considerable Trouble.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 8.-Advices re-
celVed here to-day from Havana show
that at O'Clock on the afternoon Of
January 3, the insurgent force, com
manded by Juan Delgado, opened fire
on the forts at Calabazar, province Of
Havana. The military governor. Mai.
Justlz, had charge Of the troops in the
garrison and they resisted the attack Of
the insurgents SO briskly that the latter
were obliged to retreat. On the follow
ing morning the insurgents renewed their
attack simultaneously on forts Nos. 5. 6,
Z and s, with lively discharge of
musketry, which was answered by the
garrisons. At the same time, the insur-
gents burned the fine dwelling of Senior
Fernando Garcia, situated near the rail
road station. The flames from the burn
ing building brightly illuminated the
city, causing great alarm among the peo-
pie in the town. The bullets flow thickly.
Many OF the missiles penetrated dwellings
and the store OF Pedro Barcena was
pierced in twety differeat places.
The Spanish troops, after an energetic
engagement, finally compelled the insur-
gents to retreat. While the Cubans
were retiring they destroyed with their
machetes all the tobacco that had been
planted in the vicinity.
The insurgents also attacked the vii
lage OF Rancho Boyeo, but without re-
suit.
Advices received to-day confirm the re-
port that CalixtO Garcia, with 5000
well-armed insurgents, after an engage
ment and upon the arrival of General
Bosch's convey at Bayamo, marched to-
wards Jiguani, which place they be-
seiged for the space Of five days. 1t is
said that the garrison Of the town heroi-
cally resisted the attack OF the insur-
gents until the arrival of the column Of
General Bosch, when Calixto Garcia and
his men were compelled to retreat to-
wards Santiago de Cuba

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

Chairman Aver was in the caucus in the
earlier part of the session. AT o'clock
a. m. lie was shown the resolution signed
by the nineteen members constituting
the minority. Being interviewed he said:
''No effort at gag-rule was made. 1t
had been understood that Capt A. s.
Peace, q member of the State Central
committee, would address the caucus
favoring the policy of re-electing Senator
Pritchard for the purpose, as ne thought,
OF reassuring continued cooperation
OF the Peoples party and the Repuffi-
can party. Capt. Peace was asked by
Senator Walker how much time he de-
sired for the expression of his views, and
was asked if thirty minutes would be
sufficient. Peace replied that he thought
he could present his position within that
time. A motion was made by Senator
Walker that Capt. Peace be allowed
forty five minutes, and that any other
member Of the State Central committee,
who might desire to address the-caucus,
be allowed ten minutes each.
Representative Parker, of Perquimans,
understood the motion as applying to
members of the caucus. 1t was explained
to him by the caucus chairman that the
motion applied only to members of the
State Central committee, and not to
members Of the caucus. After that, the
motion Of Walker,who proposed that for
ty-fiyc minutes be given to Capt. Peace,
and ten minutes to other members Of the
Central committee was unanimously

THE BOLTERS' STATEMENT.
1.-The following members Of the Senate
and House Of Representatives IN confer
ence assembled desire to say by resolu-
tion that we enter our solemn protest
against the high-handed method Of gag
rule perpetrated upon us by a majority
OF the Populist caucus upon Friday night
the Sth inst, and after having listened on
out part with great patience to the views
of the majority faction, according them
one and two hours for each speaker with
out protest or murmuring, when we asked
TO have time to discuss our side or the
question we were uncaremoniously told
by the majority that we could not have
but ten minutes each; that after we had
appealed to the leaders and members OF
the majority faction to give US time for a
free and fair discussion of the Senatorial
question and time to hear from our consti-
tuents upon this important question, they
absolutely refused to consider the ques-
ton at any other time and 30 Gu off the
discussion by unfair ftibustering tactics.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we inform our breth-
rem who compose the other faction, that
when they discuss the co-opera ton of
this faction, they must assure us by re-
solution that they are willing to accord
to Us free and fair discussion at some
future time, to be agreed upon by both
factions. Then and not until then viii

Cross also pleaded guilty 10 conspiracy

vile 10 commit the offence for which he
was fined. Hart is the man whose name
was used in the coal transaction. lie
was Jointly indicted with Cross for con-
spiracy. To-day he pleaded not guilty,
and was released under $3.50 bail, FOR
trial at the October term of the court
Cross was not sentenced on the con-
spiracy charge, the Justice saying he
would prefer to wait until after Harris
trial.
In imposing sentence Justice Gummere
said there was no moral turpitude in
what had been done, but that very
wise law of the State had been violated.
For The purpose of lettering others it
was necessary TO impose a penalty but
inasmuch as Cross had saved tho county
considerable expense by pleading guilty,
he felt that a fine OF 500 would be sufii-
cient punishment.
