Hon. C. B. Aycock, of Goldsboro, ex-
United States district attorney for the
Eastern district of North Carolina, spent
yesterday in the city, having come down
to attend the funeral Of the lamented
Sol c. Well, who was assistant district
attorney with him.
A Messenger representative, who trav-
els extensively, and who is said to know
more people in Eastern North Carolina
than any other man in the state, says
he has heard such talk, as Mr.. Ay-
cock is a splendid piece of gubernatorial
timber, clear of knots, straight as a
shingle and not at all doty.
The democratic party of North Caro-
lima could search a long time before they
could find a better man, a truer patriot
or a more loyal democrat than Aycock.

Another Powder Will Exploded and
Attempt to Destroy a Magazine.

Jacksonville, Fla, April Ca spec
ial to The Times-Union and Citizen
from Tampa, Fla, says: Chief of Po-
lice Burke, of the Tampa force. and
General Wade, held a lengthy consul
tation a few evenings ago, the subject
of which has just come to light. Span
ish Consul Soils left here about ten
days & and Vice Consul Bruguis left
about two days later. The vice con-
sui said that he was going to Jamaica
by way Of New York and on the even
ing prior to his departure he was given
a farewell party by his Spanish friends.
"A Few evenings a Spanish woman
living on Anderson street told two of
her american girl friends that some
thing would happen soon. Her signif-
cant remark in connection with the
many rurnors of Spanish plots in circu-
latlon suspicion. On Thurs
day night as Chief Burke was return
ing from YarbO City, he was sur
prlsed to see Bruguis, who he supposed
was on his way to Jamaica at the
Spanish woman's house. Bruguis is a
young nan "a years Of age and has
several peculiaritdes Of dress and ac-
ton ~wellknown TO the CHIEF of police
and in telling the story to several
newspapers correspondents this even
ing he said that there was not the least
bit OF doub. about the mans identity.
Major Connely, OF the Florida state
troops, has also been informed by a
Cuban resident that Bruguis is in

posed to visit are being watched by the
police tonight and If Bruguis is seen
he will be arrested.
Another plot is in course Of develop
ment that will be nipped. II is 70 the
effect that there is a soldier here with
the regulars who speaks Spanish
whose term will expire soon. 1T Is as
serted that he had been approached and
urged 10 r~e-enlist with the Inclination
that he might make $3.50 a month.

Flying Squadron in Perfect IL readiness.
Old Point Comfort, Va, on Board the
Flagship Brooklyn, off Fort Monroe,
May MAY day on the warships of
the flying squadron found beautiful
weather n peaceful conditions at
Old Point, although about Hampton
Roads evidences were seen of warlike
preparations. The work of laying mines
and ~torpedOes in the harbor continued
all day, in charge of the army engineer
corps acting under Colonel Frank. 1t
is certain that plans have been made
and laid for his SQuadron'S work, but
no specific orders are here.
The squadron is in perfect n very
formidable readiness for sea and can
leave at an hours notice. The story
that the ram Katahdin is attached to
the sQuadro is untrue. The converted
yacht, now known as the Scorpion, and
which is in command of Lieutenant
Commander Mark, arrived at 5 o'clock
this afternoon and with the
fleet off Old Point. 1t is understood that
the Scorpion is to be the dispatch boat
Of the squadron, but she is also equip
PED for fighting. Officers of the fleet
believe that the Scorpion is a splendid
addition to the squadron. She can
make eighteen knots, is protected by
i d armOr and has a fine battery of
four 5-inch and four 6-pounders. For
torpedo destroying she would be un-
