has been informed that the ihreo
Friends will carry a cargo of mun.turns
of war for Cuba. Mr. Barnes, the
owner, goes to Washington to inform
the attorney general that he has con
tracted to land a cargo on the coast of
Cuba and will demand that his vessel
be escorted there by a United States
warship. He insists that under the rul
ing of the United States supreme court
in the Horsa ease, the carrying of arms
in an unarmed vessel is not in violation
of the law.
The Dauntless will take on her cargo
of arms at Eau Gallic.
The Commodore will leave during the
day for Cuba with arms. Colonel Eme¬
lin Nunez, of the Cuban junta, is now in
Jacksonville arranging for the expe¬

THE DONS LED INTO A TRAP.
Cuban* Knticod Spaniard* on to a I’oint
of Ground Tliat bad Keen Dynamited.
Atlanta, Deo. 4.—The Rev. A. J.
Diaz, the Baptist missionary of Havana
who was driven from Cuba soveral
mouths ago on account of alleged affilia¬
tion with the insurgents, reached this
city from Texas where he has been en¬
gaged in church work. While in New
Orleans he met soveral Cubans who
gave him an interesting account of
what was going on in the island. These
Cubans had come over from Havana on
the steamer Aranzas and were going to
mako the Crescent City their home.
They had been permitted to leave the
island because of the fact that they wore
taking no part in the war.
“I was told,” said Diaz, “that every¬
thing was at a standstill in Havana.
There is absolutely nothing going ou in
the city. As 1 underst md it, everything
is as dead as a dixir nail. But General
Maceo seems to bo getting in his work
and from what 4 was told by my friends
in New Orleans I suppose that bo has
been the means of exterminating many
of the Spaniards.
“Tho press reports contained a story
to the effect that General Maceo had
enticed Weyler with many of his men
on to a point of ground that had been
dynamited for their especial benefit and
■ucceeded in killing and wounding
many of them. I was told of a second
mine that had been fired while the
Spanish soldiers were on it only a day
or two ago. I did not get the exact
date, but at the time his men were en¬
trapped and led on to the ground Gen¬
eral Weyler was in tho city of Artemisa
and knew nothing of it until the dyna¬
mite had done its deadly work.
“This mine was set between the Rn
bie and the Oayajabo mountains by
Jlaceo’s electrician. After it was all
prepared, as in tho other case, tho Cu¬
bans and Spaniards engaged in a battle.
The Cubans, of course, retreated and as
they did so, the Spaniards followed,
keeping , as near them as possible. When
the army was between the two rnoun
tains the mines were touched off and in
a f ‘\v minutes the air was filled with
smoke, while dead and wounded men
Vi!i
“that there was 5,000 Spanish soldiers
killed ami wounded in the explosion of
the last mine.”

j Georgia line In Two New Gunboat*.
Bath, Me.. Dec. 5. — The gunboats
Vicksburg and Newport were launched
here. They are vessels of au entirely
new type, so far as our navy is con¬
cerned. They are of composite con¬
struction. all of the framing being of
steel, but planks of Georgia pine being
■worked on the frames below the water
line, secured by the composition bolts in
such a manner as to prevent galvanic
action and being then covered with cop
per. This will make the vessels largely
independent of docking facilities and
economy in the use of fuel as the expo
Ration of copper causes the barnacles
mnd sea grass to fall off as soon as the
ship moves, thus keeping her bottom
