THE GUssIE FAUX Pas.
How the Expedition Was Advertised
and Failed.

Tampa Letter in New York Post.
Key West has a war joke. one that is
causing considerable amusement here, to-
wit, the recent Gussie expedition fiasco.
The Gussie, an old paddie-wheol steamers
sort Of cross between a Mississippi river
boat and a Coney Island excursion boat,
left Tampa with flourish of trumpets, a
hundred soldiers on board, and her hold
full of arms and ammunition for the Gu
ban soldiers. She was Wen heralded and
when she arrived at Key West every one
knew all about her, where she was going,
what she was going to do, etc
The expedition was in command of Capt.
Dorst who was by no means aVerse TO
telling all he knew regarding his inten-
tons. Amid cheers the Gussie left this
port for Cuba, which she reached soon
after daylight one morning, taking her
well in sight of Havana, so that her sol
dlers could have a good look at the town.
She steams about seven miles an hour,
and the probability is the entire coast was
notified TO be on the lookout for her. She
managed to land three scouts with horses,
though the scouts strongly objected, con-
siderins that Spanish soldiers We're visi-
bic on all sides; however, they were left
on shore, and had to gallOp for their lives,
and they are lucky if they still possess
them.
Three different times Capt Dorst tried
to land his expedition, but failed. On the
last attempt an important capture was
made, namely, a poor, old, half-starVed
Spaniard about 20 years of age, who was
cooking a fish for himself and his grand
son, a boy of p years. The boy was left
behind weeping bitterly.
Capt. Dorst, on landing here, spoke very
bitterly of the American press for having
published his movement saving il was
accountable for the failure Of the expedi-
ton as the Spaniards Were notified; yet
he himself was the man who published
it far and wide, both in Tampa ana here,
evidently with the intention of having it
advertised.

ODUM'S CONVICT TROUBLES.
A Fight Eliminates From General
Dissatisfaction in Convict Affairs.

Fight EmanRtes From General
Dissatisfaction in Convict Affairs.
Odum, Ca, May 23.-News has Just
reached here of difficulty that came near
proving serious in the lower part of this
county, between Mr. d. O. Middleton and
Mr. William Wood. Some months ago,
when the county took its convicts, the
County Commissioners advertised for bids
for a foreman and guards Accordingly
there were several parties there to place
their bids but Mr.. Woods appeared to be
the only lucky man, as after some debate
the commissioners decided to close
the deal privately with Woods
ignoring the bids of other parties
Woods took the contract at a certain
price and furnished his own guards,
which caused dissatisfaction with the tax
payers Of the county The convicts were
soon taken to the Atkinson district to build
a bridge over the Satilla river, and made
their headquarters at Commissioner Mid
dleton's turpentine still where Woods
claims that Middleton had them to do some
ditching and dig some wells for his own
private use. 1t appears that Woods and
three of the five commissioners did not
continue their combination. on last Mon
day morning, when Woods returned to his
crew, he found them in charge of man
by the name of Johnson, by the authority
of three of the commissioners.
Woods drew revolver and ordered them
to leave, and on their refusal he fired
one shot at the crowd but missed his aim,
and they made an effort to take the re-
volver from him. Some of the convicts
had to be stopped, as they were advancing
on him with axes. Woods was eventually
disarmed and forced to yield.
The taxpayers have been very badly dis
satisfied with the management of the
county conYicts the past twelve months.
The grand jury has twice recommended
that the convicts be hired to other counties
better prepared 10 handle them AS yet
there has been no attention given the rec
ommendaton by the commit ssioners.
