CHICAGO June 4A special to the
TimesHerald from Jacksonville Fla
says
After a thrilling voyage during
E which she was chased and fired on by
t a Spanish steamer the filibustering
< steamer Three Friends ha reached
this port after landing more than 100
men and a large cargo of arms and
ammunition in Cuba The landing was
made on the night of May 29 west
of Trinidad on the southern coast of
I Santa Clara province The men and
ammunition were received by a strong
a detachment from General La Crets
column and there was not a Spaniard
in sight to interfere
On the day of landing May 2S occurred
curred the most exciting incident of
t the voyage The filibusterer was off
the coast of Cuba waiting for sig
nals from the shore when a Spanish
warship hove in sight and gave chase
HAD TO RU
There was nothing to do but to run
for it and the Three Friends stood
for the open sea with the Spaniard in I
hot chase
Through a glass Captain Broward in
command of the Three Friends watch
ed the Spaniards The warship was
evidently crowding on steam for a
black cloud of smoke came from her
stack In the cruisers military top
Captain Broward saw several Span
5 iards taking turns at the glass
S Suddenly there came a puff of
I smoke from the cruiser and a shell
I burst over the Three Friends The
I Spaniards sent shell after shell at the
i I filibusterer but all went wide of the
I mark
i Finally Captain Broward who is ex
sheriff of Duval county and noted for
his courage got tired of being shot at
and decided to have a shot at the
Spaniards There was a 12pound
Hotchkiss gun mounted on the Three
Friends and this Captain Broward
trained on the cruiser tor he saw a
great commotion 0 board Several
more shots were exchanged but mean
while the Three Friends were gaining
on the Spaniard
I
0 GREAT CHEERS AROSE
The engines of the filibusterers be
haved beautifully and the stokers
worked with great earnestness for
there were more than 100 men on board
whose lives depended on the speed of
the Three Friends Finally the fill
bustereif left the cruiser As the war
ship sank below the horizon first the
hull then the mast and the military
o and last the Spanish faa great
cheer arose from the daring men on
the Three Friends
Frend
h That night the Three Friends cir
F cled around at sea On Friday May
j 4 29 she again cautiously approached
t the Cuban coaL About nightfall I
west of Trinidad a rocket the signal
agreed upon was sent up I was answered
swered from the shore and six surf
boats on board and in these the men
I and arms were transf rred to the
shore In four hours the landing was
completed and the Three Friends
stood for the Florida coast
This is the third expedition the
Three Friends has landed in Cuba
Captain Broward would give no in
formation about the Laurada save that
when she left Jacksonville she had I
arms and men for Cuba and that he
expected to soon hear of her being in I
some Jamaican port
RELY OJ FRANCE
Reasons Given liy the Spaniards for
so Doing
NEW TORK June 4A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says I
Among the reasons that have en I
couraged the Spaniard to look to
France for assistance is the fact that
in every stage of their difficulties with
the United States and Cuba in the last
seventeen months the French press
has shown them more sympathy than
the press of any other European na
tions
The Spaniards argue that even I
France and Spain had not so many I I
common interests in Morocco in the
Mediterrean questions and in Egypt
their financial and commercial ques
tions alone would justify a close un
derstanding Threequarters of all The
shares and bonds of the Spanish railways
ways are in
THE HANDS OF FRENCH CAPI
TALISTS
who also have invested several hun
dred millions of dollars in Spanish
public works g and electric com
panies mines wine growing estates
and municipal loans Last but not
least French investors hold 40000000
c the Spanish foreign 4 per cent debt
and the same amount of Cuban bonds
an
French bankers advanced last year
510000000 to the Spanish government
for the Cuban treasury and since then
they have made further advances on
Cuban bonds for war expenses
B < sides the financial connection
Spain h a considerable commercial
connection with France a 40 per cent
of the total imports into this kingdom
come from France and about 36 per
cent of the total exports g to France
The Spaniards believe that
FRANCE MUST ASSIST THEM
some day because her West India col
onies her interests in the Panama
canal schemes and her trade with Cuba
and Porto Rico which have suffered
much already from the competition
with America will make her desire to
affairs check American interference In Cuban

COLDBLOODED BUTCHERY
Even the Side and Voiinded Do
Xot Escape
NEW YORK June 4The World this
morning publishes the following special
correspondence from San Cristobal
Cuba dated May 10
Thi following story of the coldblood
ed butchery of more than forty wound
ed and sick Cubans In a hospital and of
four prisoners after the fight at L
Lomas de Junores was told to your
correspondent by Spanish soldiers who
took part in it and they spoke a if
the massacres were every day occur
rences with them
Our column under General Zerano
left Sa Cristobal May 4 to operate in
tae mountains between here and the
L northcoast At midnight we camped
bu at 5 am the bugle sounded for u
to bajup We were preparing t break
amp when suddenly there was a call
SJ to arms A moment later there came
I A PERFECT RAiN OF BULLETS
Then th msurgents began to close
9k
In unon us Several times they came
down upon us with tremendous fury
swinging matchetes above their heads
but it was impossible for them to stand
before the fire ofour
bfore fr our mausers
eWe were under fire and the constant
menace of matchetes until past noon
until the enemy apparently withdrew
A consultation was had by our officers
and Lt was learned that retreat was cut
off
offWhen
When note came we were still on
the mountain side Day dawned and
with light came the enemys fire
Thus we fought on our boys falling
about us in a dreadful manner when
suddenly we heard the distant boom of
a cannon We knew assistance had ar
rived from Bahia Hondi and the enemy
was being attacked In the rear
The insurgents fire was gradually
withdrawn and we succeeded in taking
possession of their camp They had
retreated but had occupied another
height where they defied us I was
all we could do to attend to our dead
and wounded Of my battalion we had
wounded to bury ten and gather up thirtyseven
A SLAUGHTER
We then killed four prisoners who
had been captured including a China
manOn
On the road the day before our fight
in the forest we had passed a fine
house I was said the general had
stopped there and had been well re
ceived by 3 man occupying the place
who said he knew nothing of the insur
gents As we came to this house on our
return a halt was ordered and our offi
cers went into the house The general
went up to the man shook hands with
him and then invited him out doors
where he ordered him to be killed with
the matchete We then examined the
house and found various bottles of
medicine which satisfied us that the
house was an insurgent hospital and
the man we had killed was their doc
tor We then went through the out
houses and found upwards of forty
sick and wounded These we killed with
our torch machetes and then applied the
torchThose
Those who had died outside of the
I
house we threw into the flames VeI
then resumed our march

Of Course
NEW YORK June 4A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says
La Lucha the recognized personal
organ of CaptainGeneral Weyler dis
credits the report that Spain Is ready
to accept Clevelands good offices to
induce the rebels to accept home rule
La Lucha adds Proffered Ameri
can meditation is the best proof that
the insurgent movements here are
really inspired by the Washington gov
ernnrent in the hope of forcing Spain
into a new trade treaty amounting to
a virtual commercial annexation of the
island of Cuba to the United States
The Spanish statesmen however are
to shrewd to fall into the trap
IN FRISCO
Volney Ashford Suffering from a Va
riety of Ills
SAN FRANCISCO June 4 Volney
Ashford mentioned in the advices from
Honolulu is In the French hospital in
this city where he ha been confined for
nearl nine months suffering from a vari
ety of ills which ended in
stroke is ende a paralytic
A effort was made today to see Colo
nel Ashford relative to the advices from I
Honolulu but he declared that he had no
information to give He referred the re
porter to his brother Attorney Clarence
Ashford and that gentleman made the
following statement
V Ashford having been convicted by
the military court of the offense of mis
prision of treason failure to disclose his
alleged knowledge of treason committed
by others the British government to
whom he appealed represented to the
Hawaiian government that the convic
tion was rendered upon insufficient and
Illegal evidence and requested that the
conviction be set aside and the sentence
founded thereon annulled I understood
that reuet has not been finally an
swered by the Hawaiian government
though negotiations have been proceed
ing between the two governments upon
the topic for some months The claim
that my brother has repeatedly or at all
asked permission to land in Hawaii is ab
solutely false He ha never asked permission
mission and never will ask and would
not accept It
Attorney Ashford declined to discuss I
the British man of war incident saying
that when his brother was ready to re
turn to Honolulu he would do so At
present however the probability of his
early return was very remote

signs incident to travel loss of sleep
and other things f
The hospitality and good cheer so un

every one a host in himself will live

Salt leakers were there in goodly ar

things pertaining to celebration and
they celebrated They were told that
was what they were there for and none
of them murmured against such man

and the plains to the percolation of

skein of commercial trade
sein did he cease there but waxed
eloquent until thunders of applause
threatened such an opening a he pic
tured
Apostle Lyman who opened the exercises
ercises with prayer looked somewhat
rattled when one of the speakers re
marked that the apostle wa certainly
in his best element for he had prayed
for the Rio Grande Western railway
a prayer unique in every way as cor
porations were usually spoken of in a
different way
Colon1 Tatlock delivered a neat ora
tion and one that held first place in
the occasion but only until E W
Duncan arose in the oratorical arena
The colonel started out with Thirty
years ag all about u was a howling
wilderness then he continued on
down t the present in graceful style
taking his seat amid great applause
E W Duncan the last speaker
then arose and went after the colonel
who had consumed good time and he
got him He told the multitude how
the colonels speech carried him back
thirty years but in a different way
from that they might surmise He
then went on to tell them a little of the
colonels past history saying that
twas now thirty years ago when they
were youngsters together at a school
back east and the colonel was selected
to deliver an oration on a memorable
occasion On that occasion he also
started out with Thirty years ago all
about us was a howling wilderness
then he stopped His line of thought
snapped off at that point Again he
started out with Thirty years ago all
about us was a howling wEderness
and again he I
8ld was stuck With a cour
age deserving of better ending he once
again essayed to go on and concentrate I
his thoughts with Thirty years ago
all about us was a howling wilderness
a howling wilderness wilderness and
would to God i was so today But
now after thirty years his thought
run on unbroken to a degree that ha
cut me out of my time conditions have
changed you will note
And then the throng bestirred them
selves to the banquet hal where heav

awaited their coming
I must b said that at the feast
none of the
visiting throng
Visitng thrng were over

quantity of refreshments that had
been collected I was also amazing
to note the way in which they disap
peared even though there was enough

The multitude was disappointed over
the nonappearance of Governor Well

George H Crosby jr was the toast
master and excelled in all things ex

from calling up reminiscenses how

In front of social hall ran an irri
gating ditch that proved a source o
to
annoyance some and enjoyment to

merry revelers came forth from the
Well lighted ball room they would
have to describe a semicircle about
the crowd ribbing up the job and
then the gay young man and his best
girl would go splashing into the stream
that was not visible by night
Nothing marred the pleasures of the

Strange but true that Dwight Me

lost to him
The first train into Richfield was
the first ever seen by a great many of
the young people Get Mr Wadleigh to
tell you how surprised one young Miss
was over interior decorations and con

listened to one young lady that in
wonderment and awe twittered of her
first sight of the cars She said I
was down tothe depot and saw the
cars come in I was the first train
of cars I ever saw We live a long way
from here but they will after awhile
run by our place and then I can see
them every day Oh But Im afraid
of them though
Why be afraid of them was
asked
Oh but I am she answered
Just suppose that the big engine
should jump off the track and come
chasing you one couldnt never get
