Washington. April s.—The presence of
United States officials at the mass meeting
at Jacksonville, Fla., last night, at which
frfcl'iiion* were adopted sympathizing
w , ; h the Cuban revolutionists, has at
tra-t i much attention in official circles
her’, and is likely to further complicate
th already confused relations between the
l t .-,i States and Spain. Attorney Gen
eral Gluey was asked as to the propriety
ef two prominent officials of the depart
nit nt of justice—Marshal McKay and Unl
td States Attorney Clark—attending the
meeting. He said he was not prepared to
express an opinion on the subjeet, as the
matter wculd probably be brought to his
at-- ntion for official action. It is learned,
however, from a high official in the state
and nartment, that- the presence of federal
offi'dais at the meeting Is regarded as a
<erlous breach of official etiquette. As the
etti tal put It "the United States is at
peace with Spain and our relation with her
are amicable. The federal officials of
Florida represent the dignity and power
of the United States, not the state sover
eignty of Florida, and as such their pres
ence at a meeting in sympathy with ene
mies of Spain can only be construed as an
unfriendly exhibition of our feelings to
ward Spain. Of course the United States
entertains no such sentiment as a na
tion and will disclaim it.”
Until the matter is officially brought to
th“ attention of the United States through
regular diplomatic channels it 1s not prob
able that the federal officials will be call
ed to account, and not then until they have
an opportunity to explain their presence.
Washington, April 5.-8 p. m —This state
ment was given out at the department of
justice this afternoon: "The Atorney Gen
eral has received authentic information
from Jacksonville. Fla., to the effect that
neither United States Attorney Clark nor
United States Marshal McKay participated
in the meeting of Cuban sympathizers at
Jacksonville, Fla., yesterday, and all re
ports to the contrary are false.”
Jacksonville, Fla., April s.—The United
States officials, who attended the mass
meeting held in this city last night to ex
po ss sympathy with the Cuban revolu
tionists, do not seem at all disturbed by
the report from Washington that their
pr. -nce at the meeting is disapproved of
by the Federal authorities. United States
District Attorney Clark and Untted States
Marshal McKay, when shown the dispatch
from Washington stating that Attorney
General Olney would demand and explana
tion of their presence, saiu they did not
think that they had violated any of the
proprieties. They stated that they at
tended tho meeting out of idle curiosity
and took no part in the proceedings what
ever. They say they did not vote on the
resolutions that were adopted.
In. reference to a statement that Attor
ney General Olney has received informa
tion that the officials did not attend the
meeting it is necessary to say that, if he
(Olney) lias received such information it
Is absolutely false. Messrs. Clark and
McKay were at the meeting and hundreds
s.uv them. They do not deny that they
were present, and they came to the South
ern Associated Press agent this evening to
explain their presence, Which explanation
1 -iven in the beginning of this dispatch.
In the report of the meeting sent out
night it was not stated that Attorney
( lark and Marshal McKay took part in
the proceedings in the sense of making
speeches. Their presence was simply no
te 1 as was that of other prominent citi
zens of Jacksonville. It would be inter
esting to know who is Attorney General
Olney’s authority for the statement that
"neither Clark nor McKay" was at the
meeting.
Cadiz, April s.—Gen. Martinez de Campos
embarked for Cuba on board a Spanish
worship last evening. A tremendous
crowd of people saw tym off and cheered
him loudly.
N'ew York, April .".—A'special to the Her
ald from Key West, Fla., says: “The
anxiety of the Spanish consul over the de
parture of the revenue steamer
McLane, news of which was tele
graphed yesterday, proves to have
been well grounded. Information
from a most authentic source states that
the Cuban revolutionists have Just pur
chased a schooner in Tampa, Fla., which
will convey an expedition to the Cuban
coast. The vessel is about ten tons bur
den, and a fast sailer. Since her purchase
l he *' :ls been hauled abreast the city of
1 ampa to have her bottom cleaned and re
pairs made. She has been documented in
the name of a fictitious owner, and it is
announced that she will be employed in
carrying excursions In the harbor. The
plan outlined contemplates that the expe
dition will leave Tampa and run down
the west coast of Florida, enter one of the
numerous channels, pick up the Key West
contingent on one of the keys in this vi
cinity, and then square off for the Cuban
coast.
Among those mentioned to accompany
the expedition besides Secretary Quesada,
are several well known filibusters. One
was in the Virglntus expedition of 1873
and his youthfulness only saved him from
Anot * ler accompanied Aguer
Should the expedition succeed in evad

fore it leaves Florida waters. To this end

several sailing vessels which have been

the date of sailing is not positively

News is received here from Cuba that
a .-attle has been fought between govern
*-nt troops and insurgent forces near
manajay. In the province of Pina Del

• nformatlon reached the Spanish con
■ that a big lot of arms and ammuni

PAIN BANISHED SLEEP.
A Rheumatic Tells a Wonderful
Story.
Less Than Half a Bottle of Munyon’s
Aew Remedy Restored Him to
Health.
James Buckley, 213 Washington street,
Newark, N. J., says: **l have been suf
fering from rheumatism for a number of
years. The pains were exceedingly se
vere, and I could not sleep nights. The
remedies I obtained did me little or no
good, nor did the doctors whom I con
sulted. This had gone on, each recur
ring attack being more painful and pro
longed than th© previous one. I could
not get relief until I commenced taking
Munyons Rheumatism Cure. Bess than
one-half a bottle drove all the rheuma
tism out of my system, and I am as well
and strong as I ever was in my life. I
consider the remedy a wonderful one,
and take pleasure in recommending it.”
Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure is guaran
teed to cure rheumatism in any part vf
the body. Acute or muscular rheuma
tism cured in from one to five days. It
never fails to cure sharp, shooting- pains
in the arms, legs, sides, back or breast,
or soreness in any part of the body in
from one to three hours. It is guaran
teed to promptly cure lameness, stiff
and swollen joints, stiff back, and all
pains in Che hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain
in the back are speedily cured.
Munyon’s Homeopathic Home Remedy
Company, of Philadelphia, put up spe
cifics for nearly every disease, which are
sold by all druggists, mostly for 23 cents
a bottle.
Those who are in doubt as to the nature
of their disease should address Prof.
Munyon. 1506 Arch street, Philadelphia,
giving full symptoms of their disease.
Prof. Munyon will carefully diagnose the
case and give you the benefit of his ad
vice absolutely free of all charge. The
Remedies will be sent to any aduress on

BUSINESS BETTER.
A Cheerful Undertone Shown by the
Weekly Reports,
New York, April s.—Bradstreet's to
morrow will say: “Tho appearance of
more settled weather, together with the
continued strength of cotton, stimulating
manufacturers to demand higher prices
for fall delivery; rains In the northwest
ern wheat regions, where greatly needed:
further increases in the wages of indus
trial employes, heavier shipments of
wheat abroad, and the rush of the vol
ume of the week's bank clearings above
the $18,000,000,000 mark are evidences of a
better feeling in trade circles and re
turning confidence in many lines of busi
ness.
"Rather less of Improvement in feeling
and the volume of distribution of mer
chandise has been felt at the south, pro
portionately, during the past few weeks,
than elsewhere, the central, western and
some eastern Industrial and commercial
centers continuing to report relatively the
greatest Increases In demand and pros
pects.
“Trade has been fair at Charleston,
Where the demand Is relatively best for
phosphates and there Is Improvement at
Memphis and Nashville under the weather
stimulus. No change is reported from Au
gusta; at Savannah business is quiet, ex
cept for naval stores; while at Jackson
ville the volume of trade has decreased.
There is a better request for dry goods,
shoes and groceries at Atlanta, where a
cotton mill is doubling its capacity.
“The reports from Birmingham and
from Chattanooga are In contrast, the
former failing to record special improve
ment, while Chattanooga refers to gains
in several lines. Wholesale business at
New Orleans and at Galveston shows mod
erate Improvement, dry goods and groce
ries receiving perhaps the most atten
tion.”
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade to-morrow will say: "Returns of the
highest importance given this week show
the condition of retail trade in March
throughout the country, and the distribu
tion of goods to final consumers In con
parison with the same months in 1891
and 1893. While the returns cannot be con
densed into a single comparison, and in
view of widely differing conditions in
different sections and branches, might
in that form be the less useful, there is
gratifying evidence that In most trades
and districts marked improvement over
1891 Is realized, though on the whole, trade
is smaller than In 1893.
"The best news from the industries is
that labor troubles have been settled or
avoided. Next In importance is the de
mand for many manufactured products,
which gives greater reason to hope that
the recent advance for the bottom may
prove successful.
"Copper is firm, as sales of the stock
taken from the French syndicate removed
a load over the market for the past six
years, and tin has been stronger, with tin
plates because of purchases for Pacific
canners.
"The cotton manufacture, once stimu
lated by the rise in raw cottom, goes on
gaining, though cotton has halted. A bet
ter demand appears for many qualities
and in some slight advances in prices.
“The commercial failures in the first
quarter of 1895, numbered 3,802, with lia
bilities of $17,813,683, averaging $12,600 each.
There were also 35 bank failures, with lia
bilities of $12,682,537, or $360,000 each. If both
were lumped together as In other reports,
they are, the aggregate of liabilities here
reported, would be $60,196,220.
“The demand for money is somewhat bet
ter, but since April 1, less increase is no
ted In commercial loans.’

FLORIDA’S LEGISLATURE.
The House Getting lloivn to lluslncs*
In Enmont.
Tallahassee, Fla., April s.—The feature
of the mqrnlng session of the House to
day was a heated debate over a resolution
providing for a committee of investiga
tion to visit H. M. Flagler’s East Coast
canal. A similar committee last sessiort
took more trip than evidence, and when
Mr. Zlm, of Bt. Johns county, moved to
put tho resolution on its third reading,
Mr. Healy opposed it in a strong speech,
urging that the officials of the company
bo brought hero to testify. Six good
speeches followed from Messrs. VCIm, San
ders, Gilchrist, Carpenter ami Gaskins,
tho latter making a particularly power
ful appeal for an Investigation. The mo
tion finally prevailed by a vote of 50 to 14.
One million acres of land are said to be
Involves! in the matter.
Mr. Dancy, of Duval, was added to tho
committee on corporations by request.
Mr. Zim’s motion to print a hundred
copies of bills was reqonsidcrod and
carried.
Among the resolutions Introduced was
one calling for a statement In regard to
the payment of state pensions, one re
garding alienation of homesteads, and
another prohibiting prize fighting and
"glove contests."
Two more railroad commission resolu
tions came in, one from Mr. Smith, of
Marlon, and the other from Mr. Nelson, of
Sumter.
The bill agreeing to adjourn on May
9 was tubled, and the hour of convening
fixed at 9 o’olock. with an afternoon ses
sion after to-day. No session was held
this afternoon, the members being busily
engaged in digesting the seventy-eight
btlls already introduced.
Two vetoes received of bills that were
passed last session, and both were sus
tained.
The Senate did a heavy day’s routine
work. It Is evident that if the legislature
does not adjourn early in May, the respon
sibility will rest with the House.
The brief morning session was consumed
in the discussion of the Darby bill for the
relief of the taxpayers. It was amended
by Mr. P’hipps In such a manner as to
secure to each county its proportion of the
value of the certificates of indebtedness.
The bill was finally referred to the com
mittee on finance and taxation. After a
long debate, Mr. Hicks taking the ground
that the necessary reduction In the tax
assessments, together with a reduction
of official expenses would obviate the
necessity of such a measure.
The Senate went Into executive ses

SEARCH FOR CHARI,IE ROSS.
Alleged Charlie* Still Continue to
Put In no Appearance.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Bo many years have passed since Char
lie Ross wgs solen from his home In
Germantown that the crime is lost to
the memory of many, but that has not
deterred some people from atlll making
the attempt to palm off a bogus youth
upon the afflicted family as the lost son.
The latest effort of this kind was made
by a woman who represented herself as
the widow of one of the two burglars
who were killed at Bay Ridge. 1,. I„ while
trying to rob the house of a Judge of the
courts. The woman brought with her a
young man, who, a relative of the boy
says, was flat-headed and bettle-browed,
and could in no way have borne resem
blance to what little Charlie would have
been at manhood. She had the story pat
enough—how the two children, Charlie
and Walter, were decoyed from the lawn
of the house, at Washington lane and
Chew street, by the two men In a wagon,
Mosher and Douglass; how they were
driven into the country, where Walter,
the elder, was dropped, and how SSO.OOO
ransom had been offered for the recovery
of the younger son. Other facts she seem
ed familiar with, but her scheme had
nothing else In it.
Many believe the boy to be dead. There
have been a hundred or more alleged
Charlies, but in no instance has the father,
who- has traveled all over the country,
had any hope after seeing the alleged
child or youth produced.
The secret of hi* fate probably died
with the Bay Ridge burglars, one of whom
expired Immediately after being shot,
while the other only lived long enough
to say that his companion had known
where the child was, that the lad was
still alive, but that he himself knew noth
ing of his location.
in narrating some of the facts the rel
atives of the Ross family also shed more
light upon the effort* to find the boy, and
made the Important statement that once
when success seemed assured they were
frustrated by one of the police captains of
New York, a man who was charged be
fore the Lcxow committee with having
acquired wealth by the most corrupt
means. It was there, he says, the kid
nappers had arranged to deliver their
prisoners upon the payment of the KW,WO.
They had exacted the condition that Mr
Ross and those helping him should leave
New York upon board of a special train,
a locomotive and one car, bound for A1
bany. ***
At one point along the road a colored
lantern light was to be waved, and the
money, at this signal, was to be dropped
by ‘he side of the track. Further up the
track there was to be another light shown
and there the boy was to be delivered to
them. According to the relatives’ storv
the rescuing party took along an expert
rifleman, with the object of maiming*!,#
klndnapper whoever he might be. and
then effecting his capture. They made
the trip, but nothing came of It. No lights
were shown and no other clew waa ob
tained The police captain in question,
the relative says, gave the tip to tho
thieves that the sharpshooters would bo
on board the car. Walter Ross, the son
who waa dropped by the country aide,
was married about two months ago.

Washington Correspondence Chicago
Tlmcs-Herald.
There was a pretty little scene at the
white house when the Methodist minis
ters called to pay their respects to th*
President. Mr. Hyde said to the chief
executive In concluding a short address!
"And may the great head of our church
vouchsafe to you strength and health to
long and successfully guide the desti
nies of the country whose government
He has committed to your care.*’ Mr.
Cleveland bowed profoundly and replied
with an enigmatical expression upon his
fare that had a faint suggestion of a
smile in it: •"Yes, I think I will need all
of your prayers." If the President In
tended this as a Joke he was repaid a
moment later, when a brusque old minister
grasped him by the hand and said: "Glad
to see you, Mr. President, but I am sorry
I ean’t call you ’brother In the Lord.’ •’
During the introduction of the visiting
ministers Rev. Dr. Cook, of Baltimore,
said: "Mr. President, it is said that f
look very much like you." "Perhaps so."
replied Mr. Cleveland, "though I think
you are a much better looking man than
I am. If you had to go through all I
have to endure you would not be so hand
some.”
