To the Editor of the Dispatch
Permit us, as citizens OF Gloucester. 20
thank you for the interest you have
taken in the election TO be held on july
3. 1898. Gloucester is highly esteemed
by the people of Richmond. who IN spite
of the inconvenience OF getting here. have
spent a part OF the summer on one OF
our beautiful rivers. Quick transporta-
ton is needed. not simply as con-
venience for travel, but 60 enable our
people TO compete with other sections I'M
the various markets. Thousands Of doll
lars are annually lost TO our people on
what they now ship, because the produce
from Gloucester gets into Baltimore TOO
late for the morning market. There IS
no doubt that the proposed railroad would
develop our county and that Gloucester
can well afford to subscribe 20 the stock
of the Richmond and Tidewater Rail-
road Company for the sake OF the con-
venience the road would be and because
of the general development and improve
ment Of all this part Of Tidewater which
would follow quickly upon the building
of this road.
There are no people more loyal 70 our
beautiful capital than the citizens OF
Gloucester. We long for closer and more
intimate trade relations with Richmond,
and we are glad 10 see that the Dispatch.
which is always alive TO Richmond's best
interests, appreciates the advantages OF
the proposed railroad.

PURIssIMA CONCEPTION SAILS.
She Has Supplies for Blanco-"iii

KINGSTON. JAMAICA, June 16.-2I5 p
M.-The Spanish steamer Purissima Con
cepcion. loaded with food for Manzanillo'
lief. Kingston at O'Clock this morning,
taking a westward course.
The Colonial authorities ignored the
protest of United States Consul Dent, as
not based on sufficient evidence, and gave
the ship her clearance.
The Purlssma Conception arrived at
Kingston in the latter part OF May from
Manzanillo, with a Spanish commissarlat
officer i'm disguise seeking supplies. Sht
already had on board large amount
which had been obtained elsewhere bu'
at Kingston she began at once 10 take or
-four, corn, and rice, purchasing in all 2@
bags of corn from jamaican merchants.
The Colonial authorities were INFORMED
by her owners that clearance paper
would be asked for for an unblockadeo
port, like Manzanillo. on the south coast
of Cuba on the bay of GuacanayabG
United States Consul Dent made repre-
sensations to the government OF the
island against the vessel, and a careful
inquiry was instituted, the authorize
promising that If Mr.. Dent could furnish
specific proof that her captain intended
to run for a blockaded port they woulc
refuse to allow her to load. An unsuc-
cessful attempt was then made by hei
owners to change her register.
Mr.. Dents protest failing, the. Puris
sima Conception has, according to the
dispatches, been planning 10 leave as Sc
cretly as possible, under cover of dark
ness There has never been the least
doubt in the mind of Mr.. Dent that the
supplies and provisions, though loaded
nominally for an unblockaded port, art
destined ultimately for General Blanco's
troops. There is little likelihood that the
vessel will reach her destination, as Al
miral Sampson is fully aware OF hel
plans, and has probably detailed fast
auxiliary cruiser to capture her and the
Spanish officer. acknowledgements
