MORE CASES LIQUOR
SELLING ALLEGED

Two more cases of alleged illegal
liquor selling were made by the po-
lice yesterday, the suspects being
Vince Reilly, who was arrested late
in the afternoon, and George An
drews, a Greek, doing business at 613
South Palafox street. The arrests
were effected during the day by po-
lice officers and it is possible that
both defendants, who are to be ar
raigned in the city court this morn
ing, will have their cases contfr0sd.
There are three cases docketed al
ready in the city court, outside of the
two new ones mentioned above. Pc
ter Delano and M. Selix are to be
tried this morning, and Louis Diebold
tomorrow. The latter, arrested the
same day as the others, secured a
continuance until Thursday.
One tboot-legging" case was dis
posed of yesterday. This was that
wherein George Malichi, coIored, was
charged with selling liquor without
a license. He was fined 500.
There has been much interest in
this type of prosecution, and when
ever one is docketed it means a big
and highly-interested audience.

NEGRO WHO HIT
CHILD IS FINED s25

A negro boy named Sidney Dugan,
who, during fight near the show
grounds Monday night, hurled brick
at white boy and hit little girl
with the missile, was tried in the re-
corder's court yesterday morning, and
a fine of $25 was imposed on him.
The Negroes arrest was not without
some excitement. He had a brush
with some white boys while near the
show grounds on West Garden street,
and when one of the latter is said to
have struck him, Dugsn hunted
around for brick, hurting it with-
out discrimination into the crowd.
When it became known that the lit
tie white girl had suffered from the
blow, the crowd began to look for the
negro, and when he was found, only
the prompt presence of Officer
Saccaro prevented him from harm.

INFLOW OF GOLD

Washington, Nov. 21.-The federal

Pensacola Negroes Go
North In Large Numbers

working under difficulties, because of
the operations Of the fake employ
err" who took several dollars frem a
large number of negroes. When he
showed that he was working for a
dependable concern, he afterward had
apparent little difficulty in getting a
large number interested.
1t was stated that able bodied men
are scarce in the North. In the past,
these manufacturers have been to
some extent depending a great deal
on immigrants from Europe. OF
course emigration from across the
water has stopped since the war in
Europe, and labor is obtained from
all sections of the country. Colored
labor has not been sought to any ex-
tent in the past, but, according to
railroad figures, thousands of able
bodied negroes have been sent north,
where work in a number of new and
old establishments is said to be plen-
tiful.
The car full which left here yester-
day is expected to be followed pos
sibly about the end of the week with
another, and from this and nearby
sections, it is expected that several
hundred negroes may be taken to
northern states.

GATH CONFERENCE
Of METHODISTS At
SELMA WEDNESDAY

On Wednesday of next week, the
S4th conference of the Methodists will
convene at Selma, with Bishop Denny
presiding. The local Methodist min
listers are getting ready to attend, and
have about closed up the conference
year here. Revs. D. P. Slaughter of
the First Methodist church, Rev. n.
w. Rice of the Gadsden Street Metho-
dist church, and Rev. John DeBarde-
iaben of the City Mission churches
will attend from this city.
Speaking of the conference, the
Selma Times of yesterday printed the
following:
The Methodist Conference.
There have been so many conflict
ing statements as to the date or the
converting of the great Methodist con-
ference of Alabama and West Florida,
that considerable confusion has re-
suited.
The conference will begin Wednes-
day morning, November 20, with the
Rev. ]. M. Dannelly, D. D. as host of
the meeting and Bishop Uolllns Den.
ny of Baltimore presiding.
The conference is one of the largest
in the South, having 74,782 members,
and including eleven districts with
1T pastoral charges, watched over
by above 200 preachers and elders.
As at all conferences the chief topic
of interest is concerning the appoint
ments for the coming. This will not
be learned, however, until the last gay
of the big meet. The church law al
lows a pastor to remain in charge or
a church only four years.
The meetings will be held in the
Church Street Methodist church.
All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the reception of I've dele
gates, preachers and elders, and
homes provided for them during their
stay.

Railway Men Should Explain.

Unless the railway employees wish to jeop-
ardize whatever of public sympathy may be theirs
in their wage dispute with the companies they
should hasten to explain the reasons for their
refusal to submit the controversy to inquiry and
arbitration by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Doubtless there reasons which the men
regard satisfactory and sufficient but the
public is not of them and as the demand
for wage increases, which the companies assert
will aggregate $Ioo,oooooo a year, is of vital
concern to the public, which will have to pay
the increase if it is granted the public will want
to know all the facts.
The announcement is formally made that the
conferences between representatives of the men
and the companies have failed to harmonic the
differences, that the companies have offered to
refer the whole question to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for inquiry and decision, but
that the men have refused to agree and have
begun to vote on the question of a nationwide
strike that would be nothing short of a calamity.
The popular impression is that nothing could be
talrer than the proposal for adjustment by the
Federal tribunal which has at its disposal all
the machinery and information necessary for such
an undertaking. Eventually the Interstate Com
merce Commission will play an important part
in the settlement, because if the case of the
railroads has been truthfully presented the COM
mission must give its approval to plans for in
creasing operating revenues before wages can be
increased, even though the men should go to the
limit and strike, at enormous cost to themselves
and injury to the nations industries. So that
after all it would seem to rest with the commits
sion to say whether the public is to provide the
money for the large addition to the item of wage
expenses that is asked 1t will be argued that
the railroads must be operated, but the future
welfare of the employees will be greatly influenced
by the decision of the commission upon ques-
tons involving the proper relation of operating
expenses to revenues and wages to operating ex-
penses. The employees may win their strike but
gain little if the commission decides that the
public should not be called upon to pay higher
rates for the service rendered
Under such conditions it is difficult to under
stand why the employees should contemplate re-
sorting to strike in preference to seeking ad-
Justment by the tribunal whose decision eventu-
ally will determine their fate to so large an ex-
tent. If they have they should set them
forth clearly, in order that the public NAV Judge
OF their merits 1t is almost staggering to con-
template the effects of such strike no matter
what it might accomplish. Surely it will not be
resorted to until all other methods have failed

the 18th of April, 1885, the President
asked Congress for authority to put an
end to the hostilities In Cuba, and on the
18th Congress declared the Cuban people
free and independent and authorized the
President to use the military and naval
forces of the United States to compel
the government OF Spain TO relinquish its
authority and government in the island.
The Spanish minister at Washington Of
course asked for his passports, all dtplo-
matte relations between the two govern
ments were broken off. and on the 18th
of April formal declaration of war was
made.
The resolutions agreed to by the houses
in authorizing the President to drive
SpaiI from the island had concluded with
this solemn statement of the purposes OF
the United States: The United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or inten-
ton to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction,
or control over said island. except for the
pacifcation thereof, and asserts its deter
mination when that is accomplished to
leave the government and control Of the
island to its people"
Intervention had come. not for the ma
terial ggrandizement of the United
States, but for the assertion Of the right
of the government to succor those who
seemed hopelessly oppressed, to recover
the peace and order OF its coasts to free
it's trade from the trammels put upon 1t
by a war to which there seemed no end,
to quiet the thoughts of its own people in
order that they might turn again with
out distra ction to their own affairs.
1t was a war of impulse, as any one
might see who noted how unprepared the
country was for what 1t had suddenly
undertaken. The regular army Of the
United States numbered but 5000, Of
ticers and men. 1t fell to volunteers as
much as to regular troops to assume the
burdens of the field. as in the war for
the Union and the war against Mexico
fifty years ago.
The regular army was increased to
more than 5000 before the month OF
May was out; but the new men were. OF
course. mere recruits, and the volunteers
mustered faster than the regulars. Be
fore the end of May, in response to the
proclamations OF the President. more
than 11s.OOO men and six thousand officers
had been mustered into the volunteer
service, chiefly from the militia of the
States. and had been equipped and dis
tributed among the various camps OF
preparation in which they were to be
made ready and await their orders
Congress authorized the increase of the
regular army to 5000 men. and by the
close of August more than Sc, 900 had been
mustered in The volunteer forces had
by that time grown to 2l6. .2J6. men crowd
ing into the ranks from every quarter of
the country.
1t was noted how eagerly the southern
ers pressed forward for service. Elderly
men who had been officers in the armies
of the southern Confederacy asked for
commands. and got them, under the act
