CUBAN EXPEDITION SAILED.
Men and Ammunition Went Away
Under Very Noses of Pinkertonx.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. IA special to
the Times, Union and Citizen from Tampa
says:
Almost under the nose of Edward Gay

Spanish spies, a large Cuban expedition
left Tampa last night and tonight, sail.
ing from point on Pease river. The men,
about 20 in number, walked through the
streets of Tampa about o'clock this
morning and boarded special train,
which quickly bore them to point near
where they were to embark, and there
they remained in hiding until tonight,
when tug took them out to the steamer
which bore them away to Cuba, Colonel
Emilio Nunez being in charge of the
steamer. 1t is said General Sanguilly is
the real commander, and credit is given
this rumor from the fact that when the
men left here they were in charge of Col
onei Lechuga, who was first lieutenant of
the personal staff selected by Sangually
when he failed to get away from Jack
sonville. Superintendent Gaylor, his son
and another Pinkerton man have been
here looking for Sanguilly, believing he
was near here. II is alleged the Cubans
have sent Sanguilly away on this trip to
get rid of him in the United States. The
detectives are totally ignorant of the de-
parture of his expedition. 1t is understood
that 5000 rifles, G0O0 pounds of dynamite,
100000 rounds of cartridges and large
lot of supplies made up the cargo.

seven-story Office building with frontages
on Nassau and Ann streets, known as the
Nassau Chambers building, was destroyed

ROOMS and the basement Of the building,
where the fire originated, was occupied by

Boston, Feb. l4.-At a meeting in this
city of 50 representatives of textile unions
in New England it was unanimously vot-
ed TO recommend that all unions call out
the operatives in every cotton mill in
New England.
The resolution was practically the out
come of the recommendation which Presi
dent Gompers made to the Federation of
Labor last Sunday, in which he urged the
different unions to unite on some settled
policy on the mill situation in New En-
gland. At that meeting a committee of

ing be held to take definite action.
Today the representatives of the various
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. The primary object of
the meeting was to devise some methods
of rendering assistance to the New Bed
ford strikers. 1t was pointed out that if
out for four weeks without receiving more
that 20 cents per operative per week in
the way OF outside assistance other mill
operatives could stand similar straih

FOR HOSPITALS IN ALASKA.
Plan on Foot I'm seattle to Organize
Widespread Movement.

Seattle, Feb. IA new plan is on
foot for the organization of series of
hospitals at all the chief points in Alas
ka, and the chief promoter of the enter
prise, DIR. +. II. Booth, is now in Seattle
on his way northward.
1T is our purpose" said DIR. Booth to
night, "to organize hospital service at
Dyea, Lake Bennett, Stewart river, Daw-
son, Fort Cudahy, Circle City, Minook
creek and Copper river. The first station
to be organized will be at Dyea. Our
general plan is similar to the hospital
stations throughout the lumber regions Of
Michigan and Wisconsin. The company
under the auspices Of which we are work
ing is known as the Alaska Sanitary Com
pany, organized under the state Of Illinois.

UP THE SNAKE RIVER BASIN.
Track Would He built on the North
Side of the River.

Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. l5.-J. .Alexan-
der, prominent merchant, has received
telegram from high railroad source
that the o. X. & n. would Immediately
commence operation on the extension of
Il railroad line to Lewiston. 1t has been
understood to be the boast of the o. II. &
\ that when the Northern Pacific enter
ed this field the former company would
show bitter competition, and the infor-
nation received today is the general sub.
jeet of discussion on the streets. The
company will probably extend their line
from Wallula up the Snake river val
ley, tapping the grain territory Of the
high lands by chutes, as several surveys
by that route have already been made.
by that route the road would run on the
north side of the Snake river and cross
the Clearwater river to Lewiston.
Discussion of the matter has developed
the fact that two weeks ago party Of
G. b. & Q. surveyors left Uniontown for
the Pierce City country to work on the
western approach to the Lo Lo pass. This
company has had survey party working
on the Montana side for some time past,
but recently returned to Billings, owing
to heavy SHOWS. II is stated that they
will resume work April ], and will join
the party from this side on the Lo 10
trail some time during the coming sum
mer. completing the survey. Billings is
now the western terminus of the c. B. &
Q. and it is generally understood to be
the policy of the company TO push the
line to the coast as soon as the most pac
ticable and direct route could be deter
mined. The attention given the Lo Lo
pass by the company recently seems to
give substantial support to the belief that
that route has been accepted. in which
event the road will penetrate the Pierce
City mining region and drop down into
the Clearwater valley. and by way of
Lewiston, proceed to Portland. through
the Columbia basin, making the shortest
transcontinental route to the coast by
80 hours.
