He Was on the Three Friend.
Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. 12 Cubans
are greatly worried over the appearance
before the federal grand jury of P. M.
Dawley, an artist, who was supposed to
be on the Three Friends during her last
trip." Dawley refused to say a word,
however, claiming that he would in
criminate himself.
Owner Bisbe is dissapointed at not re
celving permission from Washington for
the Dauntless to clear for Nuevitas. He
has a very large and valuable cargo wait
ing for him, including two dynamite
guns.
It is a understood through a private
dispatch from Washington that the
Spanish consul there is doing all he can
to prevent clearance papers from being
issued, as he fears the effect of the sue
cessful landing of another expidition.
The revenue cutter Colfax steamed up
Jast night, making two cutters here and
two fleet men-of-war at the mouth of
the river.
THE TAt'OMA OVEKBUK.
Veara Are Expressed That She May Be
Lost.
Pokt Townsend, Wash', Jan. 11
Great fear is entertained here for the
safety of the Northern Pacific steamer
Tacoma, now eight days overdue, and 22
days out from Yokohma. The steamer
Aganpanthus, which left, Yokohma on
the same date as the Tacoma, arrived
four dayB late, and reported the worst
trip cf her career from rough weather.
On several former occasions the steamer
Tacoma has made the trip in 13 days.
Her cargo consists of tea, rice, silk and
Chinese goods.
Tea is " good " when you
like it; not good when you
don't.
If you don't like Schil
ling's Best, the grocer pays
you back your money; we
pay him to do so.
It is a good tea, well
cured, and fired in San
Francisco not in Asia.

He Sent No Messnc" by Money to Olncy.
New Yoijk, Jan. 12. A Herald spe
cial from Havana says :
Consul-General Lee has authorized
your correspondent to deny the truth
of tho sratement telegrapoed him by the
Herald as follows :
"Money reports that, on leaving Ha
vana yon gave htm the following mess
age: 'See Olncy: tell him I am more
firmly convinced than ever that Spain
cannot put down tho insurrection, and
that every day it continues it means
loss of life and property without the re
motest encouragement for Spanish suc
cess. I long since told him the insur
rection would succeed, and my judge
ment recieves daily confirmation.' Will
yon kindly cable the Herald whether
this is so.
"How can I best put the denial?"
your corrspondent asked.
The general siezed n pen and wrote in
vigorous characters :
"I gave Mr. Molcv no message to Mr.
Olney of any nature," said tho general,
as he signed the message. Do yon be
lieve that Senator-elect Money is the
corresponcent of a New York newspaper,
as alleged by La Lucha today?"
"'Moot certainly I do."

Electric Hitters.
Electric Bitters is n medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
