Havana, March 22.—Captain Gen eral Weyler left at 12 o’clock last night for Cardenas, in the province ol Matanzas, aboard the Spanish cruiser Legaepi. lie will take the field again and endeavor to bring General Go mez to a decisive engagement before the rains set in, for Geueral Weyler is fully aware that after the rains begin, it will be impossible for him to trans port supplies to the the garrisons in the interior.

Some of the Good Things Overheard in a Brunswick Day. Georgia's thirteen at Washington have disposed themselves very com fortably, although temporarily, for the short session. Our Brantley has sought a place where he could have the intimate association of as many of the Georgia congressmen as possible, and is at the Metropolitan,where How ard, Griggs and Lewis and Senator Clay also abide. Bacon is in private apartments on Oregon avenue, Bart lett is at the bigh-pneed Riggs, Liv ingston hangs out on New Jersey ave nue and Lester inhabits a Cairo fiat. Tate succeeds Lawson as the tenant of 230 A street. Judge Sweat and Solicitor Bennett made a record at Camden superior court by disposing of three murder cases in one day. Oue ot the defend ants was Jim Mack, chargtd with be ing an accessory to the killing of Charles Brown, a sailor, by Harry Lizzimore, at White Oak, on the Sa tilia, the particulars of which are well remembered here. MacK was convicted of voluntary manslaughter. ** Agent 11. H. Raymond, of the Mal lory line, grew reminiscent yesterday, and told a story. “Last year,” he said, “when the steamship Ohio came by on her cruise, we took the Dauntless and met her off the Fernandina bar. Cap tain Barstow, formerly of the Rio Grande, and myself were on board. It was the roughest of rough weather, and the etout tug plunged and tossed terribly. Pretty soon I had business below, and wrestled with as severe a oase ot sea sickness as ever troubled mortal man. I felt disgraced, being something of a sea dog, but felt im mensely relieved when Barstow, who literally lives on the ocean, came crawling aft, with all the pallor and woe-begoneneeß of a novice. He re sents the joke to this day.” * * * The Hon. Robert T. Lincoln was among the more or less distinguished passengers who came up from Jekyl yesterday. It is only just to Mr. Lin coln to say that he was easily one of the more distinguished. This dis tinction arises, not only from his be ing the son of his father, but from his notable achievements in his chosen walk in life. It is not every man. whatever Ins parentage, who lias suc ceeded in representing his country with credit to himself and his govern ment at the court of St. James, and the ex minister’s subsequent career at the Chicago bar, if less conspicuous, has been equally successful. In per son Mr. Lincoln bears very little re semblance to the martyred president, being rather short and stocky. He wears his beard in the English style, and is one of the fortunate men upon whom the honors of this world sit lightly. “TRILBY” COMING. The Famous Play to Be Pres nted Here Monday Night. “Trilby” will be presented at the Naval Reserves’ armory next Monday night. The play of “Trilby” is a grand suc cess. It has become as popular as the book. It was thought that “Trilby” was ill-adapted to stage representa tion ; that the popularity of the book was due to its delightful dialogue, its charming description of life in Bo hemia, its elaborately developed stud ies of character, so elaborate as to be impossible of condensation into tbe limits of a play, and that it was gen erally lacking in dramatic possibilit ies. The fallacy of this popular belief has been made very evident by the great success of Paul M. Potter’s clev er dramatization, which has already astounded the theatre-going public of New York and" Boston.

A‘l Were Curious for News and Bronzed By Tropical Suns-Steamer Pro ceeds to New York- The American line steamship Ohio anchored off the Brunswick sea buoy late Sunday night. She had on board 92 passengers and a crew of 107 men, and had just completed a cruise of the West Indies, touching at Bermuda, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Dominica, St. Lu cia, St. Vincent, Barbadoes, Trinidad, Santo Domingo, Jamaica, Progresso, Vera Cruz and Nassau. The Ohio left New York on February 20. Early yesterday morning the tug U. Dart went alongside the steamship and took off twenty-two passengers, who desired to continue their trip by rail from Brunswick. Capt. W. J. Boggs accompanied the passengers to the city. In the meantime the tug Iris, with Surgeon R. E. Burford, quarantine of ficer, and Mr. H. H. Raymond, who carried a large lot of mail for the ship, left for the bar to meet the Ohio. The Iris and U. Dart met at quaran tine, and after examination of the bill of health by Surgeon Burford, the passengers came up to the city. After Captain Boggs had transacted his business at the custom bouse, the tug Inca, Captain I.omin, took him to his ship, which was at anchor a mile off the sea buoy. Two Times men were among those who made the trip. Captain Boggs to a Times man said the cruise was altogether a delightful one. Havana was skipped for pruden tial reasons, but otherwise the itiner ary was carried out in full. There was much curiosity among the passenger® -oe the t "p in regard to recent „ ss were showered on the people on the tug about the prize fight, tiie inaugu ration, proceedings of congress and particularly about the sinking of the steamship Ville de Saint Nazaire, it appearing some of the passengers had friends on the ill-tated craft. The Ohio weighed anchor and start ed for New York at 2p. in. Among those on board were Roswell P. Flower, 11. O. Armour, Reginald de Koven and other notabilities. The majority of the passengers who came to Brunswick proceeded to Flor ida. after stopping at the Oglethorpe. Nabob Flour makes the best and whitest bread. BLACK TRILBY. McCabe & Young’s Colossal Colored Organization. This well known and popular or ganization, which is one of the .best colored companies on the road, will positively appear as advertised.

Unlike the old time minstrel show they do not carry a hand to parade the streets, neither do they present to their audiences the monotonous, wornout minstrel first part that has become a chestnut with its stale gags, etc. “Black Trilby” is an up-to-date show. The company consists of fifteen members, male and f-male. All the newest shades in oxblood, tan, chocolate and combination colors in Oxford ties can be found at Pal mer’s Popular Shoe Store.
