The four-masted schooner John S.

citizens and a repository for gold when

Ihhe vessel, and asked for the protection

aghtated, as,d wanted the flag rushed
up to the Grlff, and Captain Olsen sent
Old Glory aloft to make them feel cisier
They were not molested.
The gold coin used in carrying on the
work OF growing and shipping sugar
from the plantation at which the Ames
was lying was usually carried about in
a wooden box. When the news got
abroad that THE Cubans were about to
rise and strike for liberty, the wooden
box, Containing $4,000 or $4,000, was car
ried aboard the schooner
The captain stipulated THAT he would
not be responsible for the coin but i,
was kept under his berth. a second
wooden box, similar to the first one
was carried about the plantation. but II
contained bricks, instead OF gold. for
which ever force might seize IT, When
the operators of the plantation wanted
any money. they went aboard the
schooner. New Workers owned iii.
plantation.
The rebels begged arms from every
one, including Captain Olsen. and to,,k
them away from the local mounted no.
lice. Every night the Ames was at
Cuba the fires of burning plantations
dotted the darkness. If the local fire
men put out the blazes the propertv
was rellGhted the NEXT night. One Of tho
hrst places 10 so was the property of
a Cuban planter who had fought for
Spain in the FORMER war. Captaln OF
sen was touched by the predicament OF
an elderly gentlsman, who had been In
the first rebellion. He did not wish
to joil either this time, and in conse-
quence feared both.
The captain gave him permission 10
hide his trunks and valuables on ton of
the sugar under the main hatch until
the steamer for New York should ar
rive. After the Amcs was roaded the
Americana and the gold had to go
ashore, after being on board several
weeks.

Why did you entirely ignore Mr.. Sea
lock as soon as he became a member of
the board of commissioners, and work
and intrigue with Mr.. Harmon. and treat
Mr.. SeaIock with such contempt, until
after the expiration OF Mr.. Harmon's term
and then change completely and desire
Mr.. Sealock to side with you as against
Mr.. Howard?
Have you any reason to know why
Mr. Denny, shortly after Mr.. Howard be-
came a member very confidentially urged
Mr.. Sealock to stand in with Mr.. Wilson
instead OF Mr.. Howard?'
why did Mr.. Harmon, in your presence
and in the commissioners Office. few
days prior to Mr. Towards election last
fall, present TO him (Mr! Howard) a writ
ten agreement which was that Howard
should in case of his election, vote with
you (yNilsOn). giving you the full. power
and control of the letting of the county
printing for the year 1885,, and urge him
Howard so strenuously to sign il, ignor-
ing Mr.. Sealock entirely?
WAS it not that you thought that by
having full control of the printing for
the year you could hold it as a club over
the Commoner, control 1t in your interest
force it 10 support you and by controlling
the party organ you could control the
party and force your nomination and
election?
This seemed to be a very cunningly
devised scheme trumpet up by you and
Brother Harmon solely for your per-

work.
