JACKSONVILLE , ria. , Juno 6. A special
to the Florida Citizen from Fcrnandlna , Fla. ,
says : The master stroke of the Cuban rev
olutlonary movement In this country will
occur within three days. The principal
leaders In the United States were quartered
at Jacksonville two days ago , but yester
day afternoon quietly slipped over here , took
carriages and wont to Ocean Beach , where
they slopped at the Stralhmore hotel. From
an adjoining room the Citizen correspond
ent overheard the whole of the deliberations
which began at 8 p. m. and lasted tint !
a late hour. As appeared from the con-
vcrsatlon , most ot the expeditions hitherto
have gone from Santo Domingo , but the
board decided that the next bold effort
must bo from the United States coast , south
ot Charleston. A fleet of light draught
vessels could go unnoticed through Bahama
channel , and then at night make short runs
for the northern coast ot Cuba , where there
are many bays easy of access for an ex
pedition and poorly guarded. The plans of
the insurrectionists , so far as completed ,
were as follows ; That as all plans for the
carrying forward of the Insurrection In
Cuba had hitherto worked most satlsfacto-
lly , the eastern half of the Island had risen ,
the western half was rlpo for rebellion , and
the Spanish opposition was growing weaker ,
owing to yellow fever and diseases from
the bad food supplied to the Spanish army ,
therefore now the tlmo had come for a
tremendous effort , which should carry a
great expedition from the United States to
Cuba.
The consulting1 boards decided lhat the ex
pedition should be made ready at once ; that
IV should sail from some port between
Brunswick , Ga. , and Mayport , Fla.j that It
should be commanded by Colonel Enrique
Collaxo , the war-scarred veteran of 18CS and
1878 , and that the fleet should be guarded
by three newly purchased torpedo boats of
the latest pattern and of great speed , and
manned by experienced seamen. Lieutenant
Thomas Collao Is to be staff oillcer and
Colonel Collaxo's small army Is to be re
cruited from Cubrns In the Unlled Slates
nnd picked Americans from the southern
states. Men already collected by Henry
Brooks , who Is now In New York City , and
who Is to accompany the expedition as
a member of Collaxo's staff , are also to be
enrolled.
Collaxo Is to land the expedition at some
point In the province of Puerto Principe ,
where forces collected by Gomez and Marti
will co-operate. The expedition Is to land
In Cuba within thirty days.
In addition to this plan of operations the
following general Information was given dur
ing the deliberations : That the province ot
Tinas del Orras has arisen and lhat the In
surgents have made more progress In the
present rising of three months' duration than
sas made In seven years In the one com
menced in 1SC8. That It Is believed that
within a month the vvhols Island will bo In
arms for the Cubans , and lhat General Mar
tinez do Campos Is exerting every effort to
be.rccallod to Madrid bfore the arrival of tht
disaster which ho believes Is sure to over
whelm the Spanish armies In Cuba very soon
Moreover , that Jose Marti will bo In Florida
within the next ten days.
MOBILE , Ala. , Juno C. There Is no truth
In the report of n filibustering expedition
leaving Dauphin Island. The schooner Meteor
Bailed from here two days ago , but did not
stop nt Dauphin Island.
MOIIE THOOPS GO TO CUBA.
MADU1D , June C. Captain General Mar
tinez do Campos sent a cable message to
the Spanish government announcing that
several Insurgent leaders me expected to
effect u landing In Cuba shortly , and ho
adds that owing to fresh disturbances on the
island , probably the iccent Invasion of the
province of Santa Clara by the Cuban In
surgents , ho asks for a reinforcement ot six
battalions of Infantry. But the government
seems to take a less sanguine view of t'ne
situation ot affairs In Cuba than docs the
captain general of the Island , for the cabinet ,
after thoroughly discussing the situation from
all Us standpoints , has decided to send ten
additional battalions of Infantry to Cuba with
out delay.
The republicans In the Chamber of Depulles
today formulated a resolution asking the
government to restrict free discussion ol
Spanish affairs , plainly referring to the In
surrection In Cuba , but the resolution vvas
rojccled by Ihe overwhelming majority of
132 to 19.
The condition of General Prlma nivera , the
captain general of Madrid , wlio was seriously
wounded by Captain Clavajo on Monday last ,
shows considerable Improvement today
It Is expected that In addition to the ten
batnlllons of Infantry anolher general will be
sent lo assist Caplaln General Campos in
suppressing the Insurrection In the Island of
Cuba. The loan for Iho Cuban expedlllon
will be 15,000,000 pcselas.
General Azcarraga , minister of war , an
nounced at the session of the cabinet coun
cil today that In addition to Ihe ten bat-
tallonb of Infantry dispatched to Cuba , ton
other battalions are held In readiness for
any emergency.

LONDON , June 6. A dispatch to the
Times from Hong Kong says that Iho finan
cial terms of the Chinese loan give no Im i-
mediate political advantage to Hussla , but
the Impression Is that the agreement In
volves China In the granting at some future
time of an ocean port for the Siberian rail
way. As at present arranged , it will be a
4 per cent loan. It Is stated that the syndi
cate will oblaln It at 93 and sell It at par
If possible. It Is evident , however , that the
erU.ro transaction has In It more ot the po
litical than financial. It Is stated here that
China must pay Hussla for the loan at the
rate of 5 per cent , Russia pocketing the dif
ference , which In the first year will amount
to 150.000. According to the Telegraph the
loan will amount to about 17,0\\000. This
will probably prove ft bltler dlsApolnlment
to Germany , as It Is slated EmperV William
strongly supported the German bankers In an
attempt to secure a portion of the Issue.

that the principal clause In the agreement
for the leah which has been granted Newfoundland
,
foundland through the efforts of Colonial
Secretary Bond provides that the bond
holders shall have the first claim on th *
, revenues ot the colony of Newfoundland.l \
provides that a chartered accountant shall
bo dispatched hero to Investigate the
Unanccs and supervise the policy of re
trenchment , as well as overlook all future

may have considerable dUUculty In obtain

ment In the policy of hypothecating the

CONSTANTINOPLE , Juno 6. The situa
tion of affairs so far as the settlement of
questions In dispute between the Turkish
government and the representatives of the
powers regarding reform In Armenia Is con
cerned shows considerable Improvement to
day. This Improvement Is undoubtedly due
to the final attitude of the powers In posi
tively refusing to accept any modification of
the program which has been mopped out for
the Improvement of the condition of Armenia.
IMo Turkish minister for foreign affairs ,
Said Pasha , has paid frequent visits to the
British embassy since the reply of the Porte
to the note nt the powers was delivered , and
It Is hoped that It will result In persuading
the sultan to accept the Incveltablo as grace
fully as possible.
The Incident of the assault upon the Trench
officer by a Turkish officer Is regarded as
closed , for the Turkish government has as
sured tlio French embassy that It will ac
cord full satisfaction and that Indemnity will
bo I paid to the Trench officer. In addition , his
assailant will be tried before a military
tribunal and punished If found guilty.
Advices received hero from Jlddah today
show that there Is no Improvement In that
portion of the question between the Turkish
government and the powers. The news re
ceived here today confirms the statement
made exclusively In these dispatches yester
day that the sanitary regulations Insisted
upon by the powers In order to prevent the
Introduction of cholera Into Europe by pil
grims returning from Mecca were at the
bottom of the- recent murderous assaults
upon the consular representallves of Great
Britain , France and Russia. The riotous
Bedouins have destroyed the cholera hospital
erected sit Jlddah for the care of sick
pilgrims traveling to and from Mecca. The
Turkish garrison at Jlddah has been rein
forced , but the foreign population will re
main on board of the slilps In the harbor
until the arrival of the war ships of the
powers , when their safety will bo guaranteed1
and order restored
LONDON , June 7. The dispatch to the
Dilly Newu from Con lantlnople states that
the sultan declares that no changes are ncces-
sPry except to modify existing laws , and as
these alteratolns would be applicable to the
whole population ho denies the right of the
powers to Interfere In the Internal adminis
tration of the affairs of the empire whllo no
Indication has been given which appears lo
t > how that the condition of the Armenians Is
to bo regarded In any way as exceptional.

FLORENCE , Italy , June C There was a
sharp earthquake here at 1 26 this morning
It aroused almost everybody hastily from
their beds , and when It was followed by a
succession of other sublerraneous dlslurb-
ances , shock following shock In rapid suc
cession , the people became panic stricken and
rushed In terror ( o the streels , where Ihey
remained for hours , greally alarmed. Al
though It Is not believed that any serious
damage was done , the Inhabitants of this
city not having recovered from Iho panic
which followed the big earthquake of Satur
day , May 18 last , were with difficulty per
suaded to return to their homes.
The greatest excitement prevailed In the
streets shortly after the earthquake shocks
this morning , whole families remaining hud
dled together , guarding their most valuable
possessions , which they had carried with
them In their flight from their bonus. Many
people fell on their Knees In the middle ot
the streets and prayed , while others seemed
too terrified to do anylhlng but rush about
and add to the feeling of panic which pre
vailed The entire police force of Ihe city
was promptly turned oul , and the authorities
did overj thing possible to allay the alarm.
So far as known , Ihe shocks were only
severe enough to shako down movable
articles from shelves , sideboards , etc. , nl-
Ihough there was considerable swaying ot
houses , particularly In certain districts of the
city , where Ihe shocks seem lo have been
more severely felt than In others. The
guesls of Iho different hotels ssom to have
been the least alarmed of all , though they
were hastily aroused from their beds by the
earthquake shocks. The majority of them
retained their presence of mind , and beyond
looking to the safety of their valuables In
case ot having to leave the hotels suddenly ,
no panic prevailed.
During the day , there being no more
shock , the panic subsided and everybody re
turned to their homes. No serious damage
has been done.
Expert geologists cay the present earth
quakes have been caused by the settling
down of the strata of rock disturbed by
previous shocks.

HONG KONG , June C. Advices received
hero from Talpe Fu , on the Island of Formosa ,
describe affairs In that town as still In a
chaotic condition. The native quarler of
Talpo Fu has been burned. During the
conflagration a magazine exploded and kl.ljd
ninety Chinese.
The German gunboat Itlls fired on the
Chinese forts at Ilobe , presumably because a
merchant steamer , with Tang , former presi
dent of the republic of Formosa , and a num
ber of refugees on board , and was not al
lowed to leave. The forts were silenced by
the flro of the gunboat. Subsequenlly the
merchant steamer proceeded. The British

LOUISVILLE , June 6. The republican con
vention closed tonight after two days and two
nights of exciting contesl. After adjourning
the first day's session at midnight the conven
tion was today in continuous session from
10 a. m. until 7 p. in. without refreshments
and then took a recess for supper till S p. m.
The delegates had absorbed several hundred
speeches and voted more than all previous
republican delegates In"Kentucky had voted
during Ihe present generallon. There were
almost 100 avowed candidates for the various
stale nominations and the contests were so
intense that order could not always be main
tained. When the convenllon took a recess
from 7 to 8 p. m Ihere were two nomina
tions still to bo made , but a recess was neces-
sllaled by Ihe Inability of Chairman Evans to
proceed In the noisy confusion. Tonight's
session was even more boisterous than the
afternoon proceedings and the delegates were
held In their seals until long after mid
night.
The democratic state convention meets hero
June 25 to decide whether the Carlisle Ideas
for "sound money" or the Blackburnltes for
free silver shall prevail. The- republicans
think their old dominant opponents will be so
divided as to give today's nominees a winning
chance. The Ecnatorshlp was an Important
factor at this convention , J. W Ycrkes , A. E.
Wilson , J. W. Lewis , George Denny and
Waller Evans being the republican aspirants
for Senator Blackburn's place In his own
party Senator Blackburn has ex-Governor
Buckner , ex-Governor McCreary and Gov
ernor Brown ab his opponenls. Colonel Brad
ley , who was unanimously nomlnaled for gov
ernor yesterday , Is not In the senatorial con
test , but should he be elected In this demo
cratic stronghold In November , his name will
be presented ne\t year for Ihe vice presi
dency.
The Third district convention adjourned
yesterday In a deadlock between D. N. Com-
Ingore and J. C. Wood for railway commis
sioner. It expected to complete Its work
early this morning , but the district dead
lock continued and word was sent for those

The democratic silver leaders claim to havt
assurance of a large populUt and republican

slit that the nominees of the Marshalltown
convention should have always been rock-

be silver men. The following resolution was
adopted :

vivors of the Ill-fated steamer Collma ar
rived In port today on the San1 3oan. When
she was docked hundreds ot friends and rela
tives of those who went down on the Collma
were assembled awaiting * the landing of the
passengers. Groups of worae'n with tearstained -
stained faces , and knots "of' anxious men Im
plored everyone on board tor tidings of the
lost , all hoping against hope that there might
be some mistake In the dispatches and some
name omitted among the saved. How keen
was their disappointment , even In the face
of the Inevitable assurnnce that there was
no hope , was evidenced In their bitter lamen
tations. On the upper deck of the steamer
ere a few happy people , whose pleasure
ontrasled sharply with the grief of the be-

The nlneleen men saved from a watery

rrlved at the main dock. Some had their

wathed In bandages. They limped as Ihey
alked and Ihelr bruises were plainly In
vldence. All looked thin and weakly and
lowed only too plainly the effect of the tcrrl-
le strain during the fearful hours when they
altcd for succor.
The Stories of the survivors all confirmed
lie telegraphic accounts of the disaster. They
gree that the cause af the foundering was
le topheavy condition of Uia Collma , due to
er deckload. From the beginning of the
oyage south , they say , the sleamer acled
idly and would not answer her helm. The

FIGHT IN THE LAST DITCH
Hearing the Short Line Case Commenced
Before Judge Morritt ,
OBJICTIONTO RECEIVERS' CERTIFICATES
Lonu Compiny Alia Asked to Tnhe the Un-
prolltnlilo in Well ni the Profitable
1'orllou of the I'ropertj
SALT-LAKE , Utah , Juno C. ( Special Tele-
gram. ) The last act In the great struggle
for the possession of the Oregon Short Line
and Utah Northern opened In Judge Merrill's
court today , and among tlic chief actors were
some of the most brilliant and distinguished
attorneys In tho" United States. The court
room vvas crowded with railroad officials and
business men , among the spectators being
John M. Hgan , appointed by two courts as
receiver for the Short Line. Intense Interest
Is taken In the proceedings , as It Is the' Im
pression that the result may overturn traffic
conditions In the west and northwest and
affect the material Interests of this region.
Some new questions were raised at the
hearing tod.iy. The petitioners asked that
such an order bo entered as will leave It
optional with them whether they accept.tho
Utah Southern and Utah Southern extension
lines , extending from Salt Lake to Frisco.
Doth of these Unco arc now operate ; ] at a
loss The oelllloncrs do not object to
operating them , but are not willing to pay
the defaulted Interest. Counsel for the op
position Insist that the American Loan and
Trust company should take all the lines or
none , and that It should pay all defaulted In
terest out of Its own funds , without the aid
of the court In the Issue of receiver's certifi
cates. It was also suggested , and e\en
asked , that should the court confirm Mr
Egan's appointment , a Joint receiver also be
appointed to protect local Interests , certain
Interests that arc Independent of those rep
resented by the American Loan and Trust
company This latter proposition was bitterly
opposed by the petitioners. During the ar
gument some warm disputes arose among
counsel as to what was said and done before
Judges Sanborn and Gilbert.
Questions and expressions dropped by the
court dur'ng the arguments Indicate an In
clination to take the Interests of the Union
Pacific Into conslderaton , and some modifica
tions of Judge Sanborn's order are predicted
It is expected that the arguments \\lll consume -
sumo the entire day tomorrow , and that the
court will then take the case under advise
ment.
Mr. Storey , for the American Loan and
Trust company , opened the proceed
ings by recounting the history of the
now notable case. Ho said the Interest on the
mortgage was In default and the tralllc con
tract having been broken by the Union Pa
cific It had no claim Therefore the Loan
and Trust company demanded Its right under
the mortgage. It was wrong to place both
Interests , which were adverse to each other ,
In the same hands. The loan company of
fered to pay the Interest on the first mortgage
and asked the termination of the Union Pa
cific receivership.
Senator Thurston said : "Wo ore willing ,
If > ou pay , but you ask the court to raise
the money by receiver's certificates. "
Mr Storey said they only asked the right
to pay It out of their own property.
Judge Merrltt made several Inquiries as to
the intention to leave thu Utali Southern
extension and was Informed" such was not
the Intention , but there was no direct as
surance that the Lean and Trust company
would tcke that extension.
H P Sanborn , representing the one-twelfth
of the second mortgage bonds mort
gage bondholders , argued against ( ho separate
iccclvershlp. Ho said that the larger In
terest was In behalf of those who ask for
the retention of the five receivers now In
chirge of the Union Pacific. If the loin
company woull joy the ft.ft mor g ge dcfa 1 -
ing Interest then It would have a right to
atk for separate receivers , but they do not
pay the Interest , and In asking for the Is
sue of receiver's certificates for that pur
pose they practically ask the court to bor
row the money.
Mr. Hill followed In the Interest of the
Oregon Short Line compiny. Ho objected
to the Issue of receiver's certificates and
claimed cnly a portion of the road was to
bo taken , as agreed upon with the loan com
pany , and that It was an effort to dismem
ber the road and Increase the Indebtedness
of the Short Line.
P L Williams , representing the Union
Pacific and the local stockholders , said If
a receiver was appointed It should be
stipulate ! that the entire road should be taken
and that the receiver should be some man
who was acquainted with all the Interests
Judge Marshall , for the Loan and Trust
company , said the suit by which the five re
ceivers were appointed was a collusive suit ,
and that the parties did not represent any
of the creditors of the Union Pacific. He
urged the claim of the loan company to a
receiver was a right which could not be de
nied. The cato will bo continued tomor
row.
row.John M. Cgcn was shown the dispatch
from Denver today stating that Mr. Dodge
. ? been called to Salt Lake for consultation ,
looking to a business connbctlon between the
Oregon Short Line and the Rio Qrando West
ern roads Mr. Egan says ho Is making no
arrangements In advance of Judge Merrill's
decision , and that he has had no communica
tion whatever with the Ulo Grande people at
Denver.

MILWAUKEE. Juno 6 One of Iho most
sensational Inquiries that the Interstate Com
merce commission has engaged In for a long
whllo will probably bo shortly undertaken on
Indictments made by the federal grand jury
which Is now In session In this city. The
action was taken at the Instance ot the Inter
state Commerce commission , the members of
which bcllevo they have at lost succccdeJ
In ' finding the means by which railroad com
panies for some tlmo pa t have been able to
discriminate bclween shippers In violating
the law. As a result of the Investigation
by the grand Jury at least four of the most
prominent railway lines In this section , to
gether with several of the big eastern lines ,
will be served with papers , and also a prom
inent Wisconsin firm of maltsters. Among
the roads Interested are the Chicago , Mil
waukee & St. Paul and the Elgin , Jollet &
Eastern. The complaint Is conspiracy for the
purpose of fraud. It Is charged that the
roads Implicated have been able to reap a
IK advantage by means of making false
eights and returns. Cars of grain contain
ng , say , 40,000 pounds of malt , would be
lilpped as 25,000 , and so on Some of the
argcr firms , finding themselves undersold In
he eastern markets , secured detectives and
egan a systematic Investigation , which
suited In the discovery that the dlscrlmlna-
on was the result of conspiracy between the
hlppcrs and the railway companies by means
f false weights.

once started In pursuit of the murderers , but
they escaped In the darkness.
They tccured nothing from Ihe store or
postoffice , being frightened away before ac
complishing Ihe robbery The community la
terribly e\clted and should the robbers bo
