DYNAMITE, GUNS AND WOUND BALM.
A Can.'>n, a Gattlinj^ Gun and Thousands
of Pounds of Ammunition Also De
livered, Which Puts New Life
in the Cuban Cause.
Jacksonville, Aug. 1.—A cablegram
from Key West, Fla., to the Times-
1 nion, says: Private telegrams re
ceived here confirm the story of the
safe landing of the largest and best
equipped expedition that has ever land
ed in Cuba.
As was stated, the expedition was
commanded by Generals Roloff, San
chez and Rodriguez. They carried ‘2S0
men, 2S,000 rounds of ammunition, 450
rifles, 4.700 pounds of dynamite, one
Gattling gun, one cannon and 500
ounces of Dr. Esquina'ido’s infallible
halm for wounds. Dr. Yaldez Domin
guez went as colonel of the sanitary
corps.
Part of the expedition left here early
in June in the tug Childs, but after
several attemps to land on the east
coast of Cuba, returned and camped on
Harbor Key, about 30 miles from Key
west. Shortly after landing Roloff left
them and it is rumored went north,
going by way of Biscayne Bay, to se
cure another vessel. lie returned a -
week ago last Wednesday on an ocean
tug, name unknown. She was covered
from stem to stern with canvas and
took on the men and ammunition last
Thursday week and started for the
Bahama Islands. He took on General
Redriguez with fifty-six men, 80,000
rounds of ammunition and 150 rifles.
It is reported that Henry Brooks was
with the expedition, lie having made
several visits to Harbor Key, coining
and going by way of Riscayne Bay. He
was known here, as Mr. Grant.
Prominent Cubans here state that the
safe landing of the expedition has put
new life into the Cuban cause and its
failure to land would have been its
dentil blow. The expedition was so
well planned and executed that few,
even of the Cubans, knew anything
about it.
ALL QUIET AT BROOKSIDE.
The Reports Were Greatly Exaggerated,
Only One Killed.
Birmingham, Ala., A.ug. 1.—No fur
ther trouble has occurred at Brookside
since last night. Reports sent out by
special correspondents were greatly ex
aggerated. only one man was killed and
so far as known two others shot in the
legs. It was no race war hut a battle
between officers and some negroel ten-
ents whom the Sloss Iron & Steel Com
pany had instructed to vacate. The
officers had gone there to serve notice
on them when the negroes fired upon
them. Deputy Sheriff Wood, was killed;
hut if any others were killed their
bodies have not been found and noth
ing is known of it by the officers.
An Age-Herald reporter, spent the
night at the scene of the light and
heard hut little talk of a race war
though there was considerable indig
nation expressed towards the negroes
engaged in the shooting.
About a dozen negroes, who are sup
posed to have been engaged in the
fight, have been arrested and are now
in jail.

A TEST CASE.
I>y Ilis Own Confession -lie Has Caused
Many Fires.
Citebsea, Mass., Aug. 1.—Henry G.
Clark, seventeen years old, was in the
municipal court here charged with
housebreaking and entering. His case
was continued in order to permit State
Fire Marshal Whitcomb to prefer more
serious charges against him. By his
own confession the boy is one of the
most dangerous firebugs in Massachu
setts. Last spring he set fires that
caused a loss of more than 850,000.
Young Clark’s principal fires include
the burning of Strahan’s wall paper

cupied house here, March IS, and of the
Hotel Strathmore, the largest hotel on
Crescent Beach, Rowero. April 12. He
also broke into the First Baptist church

The N. C. License Section Unconst ltloiml,
and Xul and Void.
Asheville, N. C., Aug. 1.—Judge
Charles II. Simonton has handed down
a decision in an important case. On
the 20th, of July a warrant was issued
by Justice Carter against Yv T . J. Hough,
of this city. The charge being that
Mr. Hough had violated section 25 of
the revenue act of North Carolina, for
bidding the sale of pianos and organs
within the state without payment of a
license tax of $250. Tucker & Murphy,
of Asheville, representing the W. W.
Kimball Company, of Chicago, and
other piano and organ companies pro
cured a writ of habeas corpus from
Judge Simonton, returnable at Fiat
Rock, July 24. On that day J. D. Mur
phy argued the case before Judge Sim
onton. Yesterday the judge sent ilia
decision to United States court clerk
Patterson's office. In this, the judge
holds in favor of defendant, that section
25 is unconstitutional and void, for the
reason that it is in violation of article
1, section 8, of the Constitution of the
United States, granting to congress ex-
j elusive right to regulate commerce be-,

Valuable Timber Heing Destroyed by the
Flam -s-
Gladstone, Mich., Aug. 1.—Exten
sive forest fires are raging to the north
west qf this city, and considerable ap
prehension is felt for the "Soo” Rail
road Company’s round house and the
plant of the Washboard Company. A
strong gale is blowing from the north
west, and unless it stops soon or shifts,
considerable property will be destroy
ed, as much of it lies beyond the reach
of the city water plant. The fire at
present is in the Goodman addition
northwest of the city.
Another fire is raging oa the penin
sula east of the city, and is destroying
much valuable timber. It is feared
that it will reach the farms, in which
case much suffering will be caused.
There has been no rain for many days,

Denver, Col., Aug. 1.—Adelaide, a
flourishing minijig town on the line of
the Florence and Cripple Creek Rail
road, about 75 miles from Cripple
Creek, was yesterday struck by*a series
of cloudbursts that flooded the entire
district and devastated over fifty
houses. A terrible rain storm, accom
panied by unusual electrical disturb
ances began frightening the residents
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, fol
lowed several hours later by a down-
poar of water unprecedented in this
district.
So far as known, three persons have
been drowned and swept away by the
rush of water, and many narrowly es
caped drowning to he rendered home
less. Those known to be drowned are:
R. M. Gove. Dick Rolan and Frank
Colwell.
Injured and likely to die:
Mrs. Carr, proprietress of hotel; Lee
Tracy, waiter; John Watson, cook.
The first rush of water occurred
about 7 o'clock and came down Eight-

Snspicion that Mrs. Craig:, the Only Witness
I\:iO\vs More Than Told of it.
Jacksonville, Fla.. Aug l.—Special
to the Times-Unicn from McClenny.
Fia., says: The suspicion is growing
that Mrs. C. W. Criag has not told all
she knows about the assault on her
husband, Monday night by which his
skull was broken. Mr. Craig is an old
man and is considered wealthy
months ago he advertised for
and the advertisement was answered
by a Mrs. Bailey, of Albion, 111. Mrs.
Bailey came to see Craig and they were
married on the day of her arrival. With
Mrs. Bailey came a young girl who, she
| said, was her daughter. Soon after the
| marriage, it was learned that Mr. and
Mrs. Craig were not living happily.
Mrs. Craig was a handsome woman,
; much younger than her husband and
| very extravagant, it is alleged. Some
time ago Mrs. Craig said she and her
daughter were going back to Albion,
111., as they could not endure Craig,
j The known disagreement of the couple,
! together with the queer story told by
| Mrs. Craig of the assault on her hus-
j band, has caused suspicion to be di-
j reeted towards her. It is considered
j very remarkable that she should see
j her aged husband’s skull crushed at 11
! o’clock at night and say nothing about
| it until the next morning.
Yesterday evening Mrs. Craig and
i her daughter left the Craig residence
1 and went towards the depot, hut they
were stopped by Sheriff Rons and are
now at the hotel. The weapon with
which Mr. Craig was assaulted was
found yesterday concealed in a barrel
of lime. It was a large file and had
blood stain s on it. Mr. Craig is still
alive but unconscious. Ilis skull was

Fine Yield o I Corn
Southern States.
Washington, Aug. 1. —Thu weather
bureau in its report of crop conditions
for the week ending with July says:
Drouth continues iu western Ohio
and is effecting crops unfavorably in
portions of Rannsylvania. South Caro
lina, Georgia, southern Texas, Kansas
Some and Nebraska. In southern Michigan
wife drouth has been relieved, but in the
northern part of the state the rainfall
has been insufficient.
The general outlook for corn is ex
cellent, although unfavorable reports
are received from portions of Nebraska
and Kansas, and it is reported as late
in North Dakota. In Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri, it is making rapid
growth, and curing. In Iowa the best
crop ever grown in that state is prom
ised. Iu the southern states an unusu
ally fine crop is now practically
assured.
The condition of cotton is probably
less favorable than last week. In Lou
isiana and the lowlands of Arkansas,
there has been too much rain and the
crop continues grassy in Mississippi.
In Texas it is of irregular size and
from one to three weeks late, and com
plaints of shedding are received from
the Caroiinas, Florida and Louisiana.
Harvesting of spring wheat is advan
cing in South Dakota and Minnesota,
and will begin iu North Dakota this
week. Tobacco is not doing well in
Ohio, hut in Wisconsin, Maryland and
Kentucky it is growing finely, the out
look in Maryland being exceptionally
favorable; in Virginia the general con

Further Deni ind the Supply of

Manchester, England, Aug. i.—The
ommercial article says:
manufactured cottons

the offers of buyers have mostly been
declined. Occasionally manufacturers,
however, are sufficiently anxious for
business to accept orders, which tinder
normal conditions they would incondi-
tionally refuse, while others accept busi
ness at a loss which is no greater than
would be incurred by allowing their
looms to remain idle. The difficulty in
securing satisfactory employment for
looms throw a gloom over the yarn
market in which the experience of
sellers is most discouraging. The spin
dles that are generally engaged in pro
ducing yarn from American cotton are
running full while the demands are
much under the current production.
Unless the demand for this product de
velops very soon the necessity for cur
tailing the supply will become impera

the alarm at brealc-neck speed. The
hose cart from No. 1 company turned
wildly from Broadway into Rovden
