Departure of the Commodore With Munitions of War. The steamer Commodore cleared at the Jacksonville, Fia., custom house at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon with a cargo of arms and ammunition consigned to Sal- vador Cisneros, president of the Cuban re- public,-at Cienfuegos, Cuba. A crew of twenty-seven men was carried, despite the fact that the Commodore ts of only rinety- rine tons register. Most of these were Cubans. Among the number was Stephen Crane, the novelist, who signed cs a sea- man at $20 per mont. The cargo consists of the following: One thousand pounds of dynamite, 2 boxes electric apparatus, 200 rifles, 208,000 cartridges, 300 r.achetes, 14 boxes drugs and 3 bundles of clothing. Clearence papers were issued notwith- standing that a formal protest was made by Senor Solis, Spanish consul for Florida, which was made in writing to the collec- tor. The grounds were that the rules and regulations of ports of entry in Cuba pro- hibit the importation of munitions of war except upon the writtea permission of the governor general of the island, and also upon the ground that it is the belief of the consul that the arms are to be used by the argents against the kingdom of Spain, and also the port to which they are consigned. The Spanish consul also refused to sign the clearance papers, which is a necessary requisite in going to a foreign port, for the reason that the reguiations do not per- mit the importafion of arms upon_ the ‘sland without a permit, and this Capt. Murphy did not have. The consul issued a certificate, however, stating his refusal and the reason ther2of. The Commodore went down the river about S o'clock, an officer from the revenue cutter Boutwell having been placed on board to sve that no one should be taken on board while going down the river. The officer was instructed to leave the boat at the mouth of the river. It is not believed that the Commodore will make an attempt to land its cargo at Cienfuegos, but will make a landing at some convenient place along the Cuban coast. The steamer Three Friends arrived at Jacksonville shortly after noon from Key West, with Peter O. Knight, depaty coi- lector of customs at Key West, on hoard. Mr. Knight also reported ta Collector of Customs Bisbee, and che latter, acting un- der instructions from Washington, had an officer from the Boutwell place] cn board. The boat will be held until it shall be Iibel- €d_by the district attorney. The officers on the Three Friends decline to make any statements concerning the trip. Despite the denials, however, the Teported chase of the ! by a Spanish cruiser has been well authenticated, and also that the Three Friends returned the fire of the cruiser. Also the fact that the men and cargo were afterward left on one of the keys near the southern coast of the State. The Dauntless has gone after men and cargo. A dispatch from Ke: the New York Journa! has returned to that place with a party of Cubans, believed to have been the men who were left there by the Th: Friends. ‘The cruiser’ Newark has been ordered from Key West to St. John’s -bar. he will examine the papers of all suspicious steamers. ee RAILWAY BUILDING IN ‘96. West states that yacht Vamoose Mileage of Track Less Than in Former Years. The statistics of rallway equipment built in this country tn 1896 by the Railroad Ga- zette show that 48) locomotives more were constructed than in 1894 and 74 more than last year. The number of engines built in 1806 was 14,175, of which 309 were for export, chiefly to South America, but also to Russia, Japan and South Africa. Loco- ™motive builders in this country at present have orders on their books for 70 engines for Japan, where most of the engines now in service are of English make. The statistics of car building are from forty-one companies, and show a total of 51,189 freight cars and 474 passenger cars built in 1506, an increase in freight cars over that of 1895 of 34 per cent. The number of passenger cars built In 1895 was 430. The Railroad Gazette also publishes a long list of the companies which have built new railroads in 1896, the total track laid in the United States this year being shown to be 1,692 miles.

Among the delegates, for instance. were John McBride, campaign manager of the labor end of the democratic campaign, who could not condemn Gompers without condemning himself; Philip Penna, who stumped Ohio; Harry Lloyd, who ad- dressed a Temmany labor meeting in Coop- er Union, New York, and there denounced Mr. Sergeant of the locomotive firemen, as being in the pay of Mark Hanna, when he had no evidence to prove it; George E.

He denied that the proposed combi- nation intended to raise prices to %2 cents a@ pound. “Did it reduce the price of paper to the consumers as a result of the economies?” inquired Mr. Steele of Indlana. No Combination Formed. Mr. Russell said that no combination had been formed. A year and a half ago the manufacturezs had contemplated consoli- dating their plants, but the consolidation had not been effected. Taey had proposed to bring the product of the various mills to one standard. Recently they had en- deavored to unite by forming central sell- ing agencies, but the union had not been brought about nor was it likely. It had been found impossible to agree on valua- tions of properties. In egre ee question from Mr. Tawney whether the manufacturers had contem- Plated the destruction of competition, Mr. Russell sald: “If prices were cheaper other manufacturers could noi exist, but if we put up prices we would hold the umbrella ten days, or the trustees reserve the right to resell at the risk and ccst of the defaulting purchaser WILLIAM F.

Mr. Russell said that he agreed with Mr. Tawney on this point. In answer. to more questions Mr. Russell admitted that the second attempt to form a combination hsd not been abandoned, although he thought it would be frultless. Chairman Dingley asked: ‘‘Has_ there ever been talk of a combination of pulp menufacturers?” “No, sir,” replied the witnes: Ex-Senator Miller’s Statements. Ex-Senator Warner Miller of New York repeated practically the statements made by Mr. Russell. The purpose of the pend- ing attempt to form a combination, he added, was not only to introduce econ- omies, but to enter the markets of Au- stralia, South Africa and even Engiand, which would require strong selling agencies backed by a dozen strong factories. The same fight, Mr. Miller said, had been carried on before the committee for years; it was merely one between the paper man- ufacturera and the publishers. Many of the mills were doing business’ at a loss, few were making money. He would like to see the threat that newspapers would establish ‘their own factories carried out. It had been tried before and failed, show- mg that men had better stick to the busi- ress they understand. Nor did he believe that Corgress would permit a paper to establish a mill on one side of the Saul Ste. Marie and bring pulp across from Canada free of duty. The manufacturers asked only for 15 per cent on paper and about $2 a ton on wood ptlp, a lower rate than free-traders would ————_—+2- ____ A Good Thing for the New Year. ‘The beginning of the year ts a good time tg etart a year’s subscription to the Satur- day Star for somé out-of-town friend.
