Past Master Weorkmen Deprived of the Privilege of Voting at Assemblies. the WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 14.—This mornin; isn of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor was taken up en- tirely with a discussion of the report of the committee on law, and, when recess was taken at 1:30, its consideration had not been concluded. The proposition to reduce the per capita tax from 2 cents per month to 1 cent was defeated, the drift of the argument going to show that the organization needed the money thus received for the institution of new sssemblies and the propagation of the general work of the order. It was also thought that this tax was not so heavy but that it could be borne easily by the members until the organization wason a firmer footing. The constitution was also amended to take from the past general master work- man the right to vste in the general as- sembly, but permitting him to retain his seat as an advisory member, with authority to participate in all debate. Mr. Powderly, although now under suspension, is the official thus deprived in the vote in ques- tion. He is not present and it wasex- plicitly stated that no feeling of animosity toward Mr. Powderly actuated the assem- bly. The new rule will apply in the same manner to Mr. Sovereign when he retires one year hence. It was said that if a past master workman had the proper standing in his own jurisdiction his district would send him as an accredited delegate, and the present provision of the constitution was for that reason unnecessary. One of the prominent officials of the as- sembly made the statement to-day that all rumors derogatory to the report of Treas- urer Hayes were false. The report, he said, made a favorable showing, but the assembly at this time did not care to make it public. No place has been suggested yet in the assembly for the next meeting, but the friends of Hot Springs, Ark., are doing a good deal of quiet and effective work in behalf of that city. I s Will Ask for a Pardon. WASHINGTON, D.

It is said that the Baron himself will either sign a petition praying for the release of Mr. Moreno or else make a per- sonal appeal to the President in his behalf, The foreman of the jury which convicted Moreno says that all'the twelve men will unite in a petition asking the President to grant him a pardon. mERO R Treasury Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 14.—The treas ury gold reserve stands at $91,654,170, PROTECTION FOR ALL, That Is What David Lubin Asked of the National Grange. EXPORTS OF PRODUCTS. An Interesting Argument Ably Made and Backed by Figures. AN EXPORT BOUNTY ADVOCATED Various Ways in Which the Growth of Agricultural Staples Should Be Encouraged. WORCESTER, Ma: Nov. 14.—At the meeting of the National Grange Patrons of Husbandry to-day, David Lubin of Sacra- mento, Cal., delivered an address on the ject of bounties for exporis of agricul- tural products. Mr. Lubin explained that by a resolution of the California State Grange at its last session, a committee of was appointed to appear before the National Grange and advocate the adop- tion of resolutions indorsing the proposi- tion for equalizing protection. Several other State granees have pointed committees for the same purpose. As one of the committeemen from the California State Grange, it became his | duty to aid in the presentation of resolu- tions indorsing this Mr. Lubin said: Whatever differences of opinions may exist in the minds of the.delegates present, there can be no disagreement as to this, that this proposition is now generally known through- out the United We can safely assert, for instance, that there can be but few pro- ducers of agricultural staples in our country who have not heard of it. only people whose interest has been awakened proposition. ates. thereby; the shipping people, manufrcturers, | commercial bodies, labor unions, politicians, the lawmakers of our country, all these have | given this matter more or less thought. In addition to the public presentation of this | proposition at meetings, there was an eager demand for literature, which took over 1,000,- 000 pieces of printed matter to supply. Those scrapbooks now on the desk,and from which quotations may be made in the progress of this presentation, form & portion of several similar volumes containing clipping of editorial criti- cisms and comments on this subject from among the principal jouraals of this and of foreign countrie From all this w may conclude that general information and juterchange of thought has | tended largely to correct former eraoneous ideas prevailing on this subject. Tosucha degree is this manifest that even some promi- nent journalists no longer employ the argu- ments against this proposition that they did & year ago, as can be seen from the clippings in these boo! At the start of this agitation many honestly believed that a tariff on im- ports could protect the home market of & prod- uct produced in surplus quantity for ex- port. They now understand that the foreign buyer will pay us no more for our surplus than they can obtain the same from the cheap- est land and labor countries of the world. They also understand that because the sur- plus and the greater quantity for home use is scld in the open market in public salesrooms, Like at auctions, where buyers for export and | for home use buy at the same time and place, therefore both buy at the same price, the world’s free-trade price, in direct competition with the cheapest land and labor countries of the world. All this is now generally understood, there- fore the former claim that a tariff on imports | can protect the home market of & product pro- duced in surplus quantities, sold at the world's auction free-trade price, is no longer of any value, except it be to confuse the most stupid. In the past many others ware uuder the im- pression that while a tariff on imports could not { directly protect the home market of agricul- tural staples, by reason of the export of its sur- plus, that these products were nevertheless indirectly protected by reason of the protected wage rate paid as a result of protection to other industries, which high wage rate, they | claimed, caused greater consumption, hence steadier demand and higher prices. There are yet quite a number who make this claim. There is, however, no ground for this belief at all, for as the export price and the price for home use are the same it must follow that be- fore we can enhance the price for home use we must first enhance the export or world's & | landed in our store. this to be the genersl custom. price. Assoon as we do it is not the produecers of agricultural staples in our country who are benefited, but the producers of India, Russia, Argentine, in fact the producers of every coun- try but our own. Any increase in price as the indirect result of our tariff system would be clear gein to the producers in foreign countries. But to the producers of agricultural staples of our coun- try any such increase must, when balanced against the cost of our present one-sided pro- tection system, be & grievous loss to them. It is like compelling these producers to pay a half dollar for direct protection in order that they may have a chance to exchange it for & possi ble half dime through indirect protection. Even this once possible chance for indirect protection is now gone. Increased production by the cheap land and labor countries is now a suflicient factor to offset any increased con- sumption as the result of our protective tariff on imports. The producers of agricultural staples in our | country not alone gain nothing by indirect protection, buton the contrary they are very heavy losers by it. This loss is so grossly un- just, 5o inequitable, so oppressive and of such great magnitude as to be without parallel in the economic history among civilizea or un- civilized nations. It may be supposed that as soon as the truth of this injustice has been made clear that there would be a prompt gen- eral effort on the part of our political leaders at rectification, but the contrary 1s true. Among those who understand the truth are to be found political leaders who prefer to cater to the wish of & majority rather than to strive unselfishly for the good of the country. There is, there can be, but one term for such leaders—they are traitors to the Republic. And yet, under guise of patriotism, these men shout loudly for protection—*“for protection of American industries against the competition of the pauper labor of the world.” Under guise of this patriotism they help perpetuate the most stupendous robbery in the world, They help the majority to sacrifice the minor- ity—to literally eat the flesh mnd drink tne blood of the producers of agricultural staples. Here we have a spectacle of a greedy, selfish, unjust, unpatriotic portion of the people of this Republic devouring the other half, and that the better half too. “‘But,” says Editor Grosvenor of the New York Tribune, “you forget to take into consid- eration that this very system has been in operation in the United States for the past thirty years, and that these have been the most prosperous in its history.” Admitted. What then? This: that for thirty years the vroducers of agricultural staples have suffered under unjust laws, but that in spite of this, and by reasons of certain world advanteges, they prospered. Chief among these advantages was the al- most exclusive use of agricultural machinery, cheap and fertile Iands and better transporta. ton, all of whieh almost gave the American producer of agricultural staples a monopoly price and profit on his investment and labor. These advantages are his no more, nor is it likely that they will ever be his again. Agri- cultural machinery is now in the hands of the ! England. Seventh, likewise ap- | Nor are those the | | greater than is seen on the surface. cheapest labor in the world, on lands cheaper, newer and more fertile, with transportation facilities and natural advantegesin many re- spects superior to ours. This is the new world condition, it has come to stay, and this condi- tion we must now meet. The condition which permitted prosperity in spite of injustice is gone, and thc time has now come when other and better and more just methods must pre- vail. Those who make light of this statement, or those who insist in maintaining the present one-sided and unjust protective system, be- cause itoperated to their satisfaction for the past thirty years, must prove cleariy: First, how a tariff on imports can protect an export. Second, how the home markets of such prod- uets can be indirectly protected as long as there is a surplus for export which is sold in the open market at free-trade prices. Third, | they must prove that we are still the exclusive users of agricultural machiuery, and that we do not annually export about $5,000,- 000 worth of these for use in the cheapestland and labor countries of the world. Fourth, they must prove that there are no plants for the manufacture and export of agricultural machinery to the cheap land and labor coun- tries in England, France, Germeny, Austria and Belgium. Fifth, they must prove that there is no great subsidized trunk railway lines in India and in other British possessions, for the purpose of cheap carriage of agri- cultural staples to seaboard. Sixth, they must prove that the Suez canal has not shortened distance in carriage of agricultural staples to that Argentine did not import flour and grain & few years ago; that she dic not send to England in direct competi- tion against us 6,470,045 bushels of wheat in 18! 14,645,095 in 1893 and 24,774,685 in 1894; that the same country did not send to Germany in direct competition against us 69.7 metric tons of wheat to our 630,- 0 metric tons in 1892; that she did not in- crease the 66,169.7 metric tons o 346,224, sgainst our 323,497.3 in 1894. And in periods of e years. 1836 to 1840, 1851 to 1855, 1876 to 1880, and 1891 to 1893, that India did not increase her cotton crop from 56,800,000 to 134,800,000, then to 407, 400,000, then t0 491,600,000. And that Egypt did not in the same period incresse her cotton crop from 30,100,000 to 60,000,000, then to 268,700,000, then to 449,300,000. Eighth, they must prove that agricultural machinery is not being introduced and that rapid devei- opments are not taking place in European and Asiatic Russia, or that Russia or Argentine | have reached their limits in the placing of available land under cuitivation, or that all those things have no material effect on the wotld’s price, that the world’s price as soon as we produce a surplus for export is not also our home market price. Can these taings be refuted? No, not one. Finding themselves beaten, inch by inch on their own ground, these would-be conservative leaders take a crosseut out of the difficulty by brazenly claim- ing that protection does not enhance the price of manufactures to all, that the “fellow on the other side” pays the duty, and that our manu- factures are cheaper than those of other coun- tries. When confronted with the fact that we only export of mining, fisheries, manufactures, forestry and miscellaneous about 25 per cent, and of staple agriculture 75 per cent, that if our manufactures were cheaper there { would be no need of a tariff, that we would export them in vlace of fearing competition by imports, that in spite of our high tariff, the foreign manufacturer can and does still un- dersell us to the extent of about $200,000,000 protective duties annually paid into the treas- ury, which, with profits of middlemen adde thereto, is paid by the consumers of the coun- try, to be uitimately repaid in total with add tions by the producers of agricultural stuples. They alone, be it remembered, are the only great class in our country who pay for pro tion and are thems unprotected. v enormity of this unjust burden resting on the | producers of agricultural staples is much Not alone isthe duty added on imports, but the usual profits of merchants are likewise added on the duty as well as on the goods proper. This together becomes the m ¢ of possible en- hancement or protection of home manufuc- tures. To illustrate, if the duty is $50 on a case of goods, and if the profits of importer, jobber and retailer be respectively 15, 20 and | 25 percent (which as a general average and excluding staples is conservative), the real duty will swell about as tollows: Daty $50, importer’s profits 15 per cent increase the duty to $57 50, to which add 20 per cent job- ber's profits, increases the duty to $69, to which add 25 per cent retailer’s profits, making & total of & $50 nominal euhancement or ducy $86 25. The Home Market Bulletin of Boston, the official organ of the Home Market Club, the principal New England adjunct to the Ameri- | can Protective Tariff Leagueé, in its October issne ecriticizes this enhancement in the fol- lowing words: **Outside the madhouse of the New York World we have seen no recent con- tention so untenable as Mr. Lubin’s computa- tion of the profits made by middiemen upon the duties, which he insists are added to the ! prices.” The most charitable view to take of this unjust and harsh criticism by the Home Market Bulletin is to say that the editor knows | no better, as the following evidence will show: | 328 and 330 Broadway, w York, October 31, 1895. D. Lubin Esq—DEARSIR: In response to re- quest, we write you with reference to the ques- tion as to whether in figuring the percentage upon imported goods we do so before or after adding duties. We have no hesitancy in say- ing that we figure the costof the goods as We think you will find . OFFICE OF TEFT, WELLER & Co., 426, 2 TeFT, WELLER & Co. So, then, not alone is the usual profit on the duty added to the price of the imported goods, but in addition there is also the profits on cost of buying in Europe, cost of transporta- tion, of cusiom-house brokerage, insurance and cartage. A nominal $50 duty, therefore, means more than a real duty of $86 25. To attempt the payment of imports with ex- ports of highly protected manufactures is as if a dog were whirling around in a cirele in an endeavor to catch his tail, when the aforesaid dog had no tail to catch. We must pay for our imports in bullion or in commodities. If in commodities they must be at free-trade prices. The items of manufactures which are pro- duced under protection which can be profit- ably sold at free-trade prices are few indeed. We must, therelore, continue to export sgri- cultural staples to the extent of 75 per cent of our exports in order to pay for our imports. Some radical though foolish, one-sid ed pro- | tectionists suggest that we overcome the diffi- culty by the prohibition of commercial inter- course with foreign nations. Others of these | one-sided protectionists advise the producers to curtail the production of agricultural staples and to diversify their products. Strange to say, quite & humber of agricultural journals Tepeat this advice.” On the surface it looks reasonable and sound, but in practice it is disastrous, not alone to the producers of non- staple agricultural products, but, like a boom- erang, the mischief cansed thereby rebounds and injures the producers of staples as well. When cotton, corn, wheatand tobacco were profitable crops the growers of these could af- ford to buy their root crops, poultry, hay, fruits and dairy products; thus the production of non-stanles, as well as the staples of agri- culture, were profitable indusiries. As soon, however, as the staples bechme unprofitable and the producers started to raise root crops, poultry, hay, fruits and deiry products, a re- sult foliowed which might have been expect- ed. The non-staple agricultural products. also fell below the profit point. None know this better than the Patrons assembled here, and none can refute it. The most demagogie cry of all, and the one of least value and most harm to the agricul- tural interest, is the cry for that equal protec- tion for agriculture which may be had by a tariff on imports. Can a tariff on imports pro- tect the home market of agricultural staples as long as they are produced in surplus quan- tities for export ? No; not directly nor indi- rectly. If they never knew this before they surely know it now. Of what benefit, then, is their ery for equal protection of agriculture by a teriff on imports ? He fully explzined his views on equal. izing production by the payment of an export bounty on agricultural staples. Other addresses were delivered by Llew- ellyn of Seattle and Craig of San Fran cisco. A resolution recommending to Congress Lubin’s proposition for the pro- tection of American agriculture and ship- ping was adopted. MONEY FOR MISSIONS, Meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Conference at Denver. |DEBATES ON FINANCES. | It Was Decided to Appropriate One Million Doilars for Next Year’'s Work. REDUCTIONS WERE OPPOSED, Treasurer Sanford Hunt Made an In- teresting Disclosure Concerning a Debt of the Past. INVER, Coro., Nov. 14.—The formal sessions of the General Missionary Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal church began to-day in the Trinity Church, which |is known as the largest and finest Metho- dist church edifice 1n the world. Bishop Joyce called the meeting to order and Dr. 8.¥. Upbam read a chapter from the Bible and offered the opening prayer. The rollcall showed a very full attend- ance, the important absentees peing Bishop Hurst, detained by death in his | family ; Dr. Buckley, by illness of a mem- | ber of his household, and Dr. T. H. Burch, | by the death of his son, who died while | the doctor was en route to Denver. | Dr. 0. Z. Baldwin was elected secretary, | and Dr. Sanford Hunt, the treasurer, read | his report, which was accepted. It was | decided to name a special committee, con- | sisting of one Bishop and other members of the general committee, to whom the different applications for special appro- I priations should be referred. | | | | The day’s business was the serious prob- lem of how much to appropriate for mis- sions, how to divide the sum, and how to provide for the debt, now amounting to $250,000. The debate upon this subject occupied nearly the eutire morning session, and it was extremely spirited. It was decided to appropriate $1,000,000 for missions next vear, 45 per cent for home and 55 per cent | for foreign missions. Todivide the sum for home missions, a general rule was estab- ) lished to scale down the appropriation of | last year just 7 per cent, leaving all in- stances for special leniency to the special | committee previously named. Few con- ferences, however, escaped the 7 per cent | cut, the Black Hills district being one of | the few excepted. | In the discussion on the main question, | Bishop Foss said that if a reduction of the amount to §1,000,000 meant the recall of a single missionary, he was opposed to it. Dr. Shier objected toany reduction of any | kind. Bishop Fowler objected to all efforts | toreduce the appropriation, and dencunced | the insidious atternpts of those behind the | movement to reduce it. He said that he | knew the day when the total expenditures did not exceed $450,000, and the debt was 260, over 60 per cent of the receipts, d yet they. managed £o get along without {‘trouble. Dr, Sanford Hunt, the treasurer, said that he would make public for the first time that there was a period when the society owed a debt of $514,000, and that | every dollar of this was represented by a note signed by him. This was carefully kept from the public lest some newspaper should discover it and with flaming head- lines announce the fact that the society owed over balf a million dollars. He sug- gested an’appropriation of $950,000 for | missions, $119,000 for other expenses, and | $100,000 toward reducing the debt, a total | of $1,169,000, which is within $5000 of last years receipts. Many motions were made and parlia- mentary tactics were used to vrevent the proposition to set the fund at $1,000,000, but it finally prevailed. The distribution | of the home mission fund was not com- pleted to-day. NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE, Annual Fall Meeting of the Magnates at New York City. In Future Offending Players Will Be Expelled From the Game and Not Fined. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14.--The an- nual meeting of the National Baseball League, which was adjourned from last night, was concluded to-night at the Fifth- avenue hotel after a session which, with intermissions, lasted from 12:30 till 7 p. a. All the delegates were in attendance and, with one or two exceptions, the meeting was very harmonious. President John T.Brush of Cincinnati | and President Andrew Freedman of New | York tired some hot shot at one another |during the day. Brush claims that | Freedman gave him the option on Doyle in exchange for Arlie Latham and that the New Yorker had broken his word when he made tbe Doyle-Gleason transfer. This Freedman strongly and most emphatically denied. The New York magnate was pret- ty well turned down by the league. His name does not appear on one of the boards or committees and his attempt t® over- come President Byrne was a failure. The Brooklyn magnate was elected by a vote of 11 to’1, Freedman polhng the dis- senting vote. The most important move taken by the league was the abolition of | the fine system. For the future offending | vlayers will be expelled from the game after one warning in trivial cases and with- out notice in glaring offenses. The um- pires, Hurst, Knslie and Keefe, zave evi- dence before the meeting as to their treat- ment by obstructing players last and previous seasons, By the unanimous vote of the league the secretary was directed to accept the Harry Wright “relics and to have a list ot the same drawn up and presented at the next spring meeting. A committee, consisting of Messrs. | Brush of Cineinnati, Hart of Chicago and Rogers of Philadelphia, was appointed to arrange for a day in the spring to be called “Harry Wright day,” and to be uniformly set apart in all vhe cities of the league, on which a game is to be played and the proceeds thereof to be devoted to the erection of a monument to the veteran umpire. A long and highly complimen- tary eulogium to the deceased was in- serted 1n the minutes and the secretary was ordered to have a copy enscrolled and framed and to family of the late The Wright chief of umpires. right memorial and the dis- resent the same to thet l cussion of the double umpire system occu- pied the morning session, and a little after 3 o'clock the delegates adjourned and did not convene azain until 4:30. Nothing was done bevond the discussion on the umpire quesiion and the matter was adjourned to the spring meeting. On resuming session the delegates pro- ceeded to the election of officers, Presi- dent and Secretary Nick Young was elected last year for a term of three years. The National board was increased by the election of another member, John T. Brush, while Messrs. Byrne of Brooklyn, President “Nick” Young and Soden, of Boston, were re-elected. The board of directors was elected as follows: H. R.von der Horst, Baltimore; A. H. Soden, Boston; J. R, Wagner, Washington; J. A. Hart, Chicago; Dr. Thomas Hunt W. Kerr, Pittsburg. ‘The board as constituted has three dele- gates from the East and three from the West. The playing rules committee was ap- pointed by the president and is made up of President Roach of Philadelphia, Chris von der Ahe of St. Louis and President Hanlon of Baltimore. With regard to the Sunday-ball question the advocates of play on the Sabbath won | their end, and Sunday ball will pe played in the West. The president will direct the schedule committee to arrange a schedule for the coming season as far as practicable so that clubsdesirous of playing on Sun- day shall be scheduled for the first of the week, in_order to not conflict with clubs not playing on Sundays.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Nov. 14.—The Stanford eleven this afternoon de- feated the team made up of San Francisco football-players by a score of 22t0 0. The following was the line-up: San Franciscos. Dabler . Tisdal Thurkau. Butis. Davis... Broad Crown City November 22 11, Idaho Newbern Cyecle Club, Newbern, Smith, vember 22, C. M. November 23, A. E. M mer Reynolds .Fuliback. Cochran The game being a practice game, the | players were frequently changed. Plate is a_ Stanford man, and played good ball. He was put in to help out the San Fran- ciscos, who were short of players. Consid- ering the weight of the visiting eleven, they did good work, playing a snappy game full, Davis, at tackle, made several fine tackles, and San Francisco’s left end proved a star tackler. Westover made the longest run for San Francisco, making 20 yards after catching Cochran’s punt near the end of the game. The Stanford eleven did not show up as strong as was expected. The line was very weak, accounted for by the fact that several Varsity men did not play. The backs did good work, especially in end- running. Both the Reynolds boys made a number of long runs, as did Franken- heimer, aided by good interference. Coch- ran backed the line and punted well. Two touchdowns were made in each half, the first being made in five minutes after San Francisco kickea off. Cochran made three of the touchdowns and Jack Reynolds the other.

LOS ANGELES, CAL., Nov. 14.—The Los Angeles and the San Jose teams put up a magnificent game of ball this afternoon. There was not as large a crowd present as the game deserved. Up to the sixth in- ning it was any one’s game, but in the seventh inning there was some heavy stick work with the batting and fielding much superior on the part of the Los Angeles team. The finalscore stood 4 to 3. The score by innings is as follows: s Fine Billiard Playing.

ONE ENGAGEMENT LOST. But the Insurgents Retrieved Themselves in Their i Stronghold. FINALLY ROUTED THE ENEMY International Complications to Follow the Seizure of an American’s Hotel. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 14.—A dispatch to 2 morning paper brings the details of some Principe. On the 5th inst. a large body of regulars under General Vicaza attacked the headquarters of the insurgent army of the east near Santiago de Cuba. They out- | some very heavy artillery. The fighting lasted all day and at night- fall the insurgents were forced to retreat on their second line of forts, near Puerto Principe. The victorious Spanish followed, | but when in the mountains to the scuth- east of that city were met with a stubborn resistance from the insurgents and were slaughtered fearfully. : They retreated, followed by the in- surgents, who had received heavy re-en- forcements. On the retreat many were | killed. The insurgents recaptured their first position, and drove the regulars into | the shelter of the walls of Santiago de | Cuba. The loss of the Spaniards was | over 600. | General Vicaza was badly wounded, and will have to return to Spain. The rebel l‘loss was almost as large. It is reported tkat General Antonio Maceo was severely | wounded. | A later dispatch, however, de- | nies the latter report. Another dispatch from Havana says that information has reached that city that Judge James E. Walsh of Connecticut has filed at the State Department at Wash- ington a claim for §200,000 damages against the Spanish Government and asks that it be recognized as the claim of an Ameri- can citizen. The circumstances are similar to those connected with the famous Mora claim, only on a smaller scale. The claimant is John Repko, an Italian, but a | naturalized citizen of the United States. He is proprietor’ of the Grand Central Hotel, the largest hotel in Cuba. Since the opening of the war the Span- { ish officers and a considerable number of | soldiers had taken possession of the hotel | by right of eminent domain, at the time, ‘however, stating that Repko would be vaid his usual charges. They stayed for | six months, preventing any one else com- ing, and when asked refused to pay for their board. One night during the summer Repko and his family were driven out of the on the pretext that Repko was a sympa- thizer with the insurgents. He had con- siderable difficulty in even leaving the country, as the Spanish officials strived to prevent his doing so. He immediately placed his case before | the proper authorities and in addition to | the troubles and the old scores which they have to settle with the United States the Spaniards will doubtless have another in- ternational question to settle. American residents in Cuba are eagerly awaiting the action of the Government, as of late the Spaniards have shown a dispo- sition to injure Americans in every pos- sible way.

The specict inquiry instituted by The United Press has resuited in the following summary of in- formation: “On October 21 the American steamship Laurada left this city for the West Indies. It was reported from King- ston, Jamaica, that her papers and appear- ance were not in accord.

Cespedes and his men were landed on the east coast of Cuba, between the fruit port of Baracoa and the port of Guanta- namo, a part of the coast on which there are very few residences and irom which the rebels could easily reach the mountains of the interior. The statements made have been stantiated by several witnesses. details are in possession of the local au- thorities and a warrant will issue, or has issued, for the arrest of the captain of the Laurada, Samuel Hughes, and it is alleged that he has been engaged in similar prac- tices, a violation of the neutrality laws, Agents and owners have disclaimed ali re- sponsibility, the known agents of the steamer stating that they don’t represent the owner, and the alleged owner, in Phil- adelphia, stating that he is not her owne The Laurada is now near Philadelp but the location of her captain is unkn WILMINGTON, Dz, Nov. 14, Congosta, the Spanish Consul at Ph phia, was here to-day in reference to 1l steamer Laurada.
