ARMS FOR CUBANS.
i-;.,
AN EXPEDITION GETS
AWAY SAFELY PROM
TAMPA.
y Jacksonville, June 15 -A special
v. to The Citizen from Tampa says :
~ The Dauntless or a boat supposed to
.-be that vessel came into Hillsborough
/bay last night and too* on a cargo of
' arms and ammunition from a schoon?
er lying at anchor off the mouth of
- the Alafit river and sailed speedily j
v faway for the Cuban shore. j
\ A report was sent out yesterday^
that the Dauntless had sailed from
Key West with an expedition and it
was circolated by those interested,
c It was a bold ?nd successful bluff
? that threw the officers entirely off
' their guard, and the Dauntless came
in last night and got her cargo
. The two boats were tied op until
f-aboutll o'clock, and in the moon?
light could be plainly seen from the
docks along the river front of the
I city-.
ir.-. J. E Cartaya and Charles Silva are
5 the only on es who are known to be
aboard, and they came op from Key
. West. i
. The schooner came into the bay
Saturday afternoon late and anchored.
Her name is uot known She was
two masted and about 30 tons, her
.. bull was black and she was evidently
well loaded. Quite a number of men
went from West Tampa striking
-, across the country and proceeding to
* a point on the bay shore where they
took to boats near the place where
> tbe men of Colonel Callero's expedi?
tion embarked. The entire work
shows that it has master hands be?
hind it, for the expedition was gone
foKy 12 boors before the authorities
or Spanish consul knew that anything
was going on, so completely were
they thrown off their guard by yes?
terday's ruse
The Dauntless had an engagement j
to ?o on the ways bere yesterday and
bad a government boat come upon
ber unexpectedly, she would have
; had a good excuse for being in Hills?
borough bay, and would have come
on to the city and be hauled out, but
as there was no government boats, j
she left her engagement 'unfilled.
.The whole affair was worked very
nicely and quietly, and few.people
knew anything about it The mys
terious boat left about daylight this
morning. - No one seems to know
what boat this is Some assert that
i it is the Adams which received her
load from the Biscayne and then ran
up in this harbor to meet' a steamer
which would take the munitions to
Cuba or out to sea to the Dauntless.
There is also a rumor to the effect
that the schooner bails from the
neighborhood of Carrabelle and re?
ceived ber load at a point where the
railroad crosses the jt i ver. The pres?
sa ?ence of Captain Parlin, a prominent
citizen cf Carabelle, in the city for
the past few days adds strength to
the rumor Since his arrival be has
been in conference with parties
formerly very active in the filibuster?
ing business

Annexing Hawaii.
THE TREATY SENT TO
THE SENATE
Washington, Jnne 16 -The treaty
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands reached the senate chamber 5
o'clock to-day. The senate at once
went into executive session and as soon
as the doors were closed ?be message of
President McKinley, accompanying the
treaty and the treaty itself were read
before the senate.
in one part of the chamber there
was a group of senators who will bit?
terly oppose the ratiScation of the
treaty. Among them were Senators
Gray, Mills, Pasco, White, Caffery,
Pettigrew and McEnery. As soo? as
the reading of the documents was com?
pleted. Senator Davis, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, moy^ed
that the message and treaty be made
public. Senator Gray objected to a
vote on the motion, and under the
rules a single objection carried the mo?
tion over until to-morrow.
The message of the President was
not a very long document. It dealt
with historical facts concerning the isl?
ands and showed that the United States
and Hawaii yearly grew more closely
bound to each other. This was not
really annexation, be said, but a con?
tinuation of existing relations with
oloser bonds between people closely re?
lated by blood and kindred ties. Since j
1820, said the President, the predomi?
nance of the United States bad been
known. Tbe s?nding of the first envoy
there brought the islands in oloser rela?
tions with the United States and those
relations bad grown more firm by suc?
ceeding events. At the time the trip?
artite agreement was mad? for the gov?
ernment of Samoa, he said, Gr?a';
Britain and Germany wanted to in?
clude Hawaii in tho group over which
a protectorate was established but the
suggestion was rejected by the United
States which placed the islands !
under the especial oare of this country
and that this government could notaiiow
any other country to interfere in the
affairs of Hawaii. The annexation of
the islands, said the President,
and making them a part of thc
United States, was in accordance
with the established policy of thiscoun- j
try. Thc treaty wa* signed at 9 :20 i
o'clock this morning at the state de- j
partaient by Secretary Sherman for the j
United States aod Messrs Haicb, i
Thurston and Kinney for the Hawaiian j
governoieot.

FARM REFORM-THE HOPE OF THE
1 NATION.
In all tbestntes cf f bc east, ncrth and
1 west there has cf Jato years been a maa
i rush to the cities. Wiri: the exception cf
j the border states, this has not been so in
! the south. Education bus made the dif?
ference. The south ha.- not beru so ad?
vanced in the PO called ^education
? neither has it boen so advanced ia over?
stocking its ci ric- with an idle ana dis?
contented population. Ir is, however,
fast assn in inf; to itself au imitation cf
tho education cf the east, north and
west, which, if not intercepted, may
lead to thc same dire results.
The movement cityward in the cnsX
north and west has lately been some?
what reversed by tho introduction cf
farm K-fcrm. which aims to encourage
and assist thc surp?ns masses of the
cities to return to the country, and also
to encourage thc malo population tc re?
main on the land. The situation forced
upon the people by education is one in
which the sympathies of the thoughtful
humanitarian and patriot can be stirred
to their depths From thousands cf ex?
amples let ono here suffice : Recently a
young man carno often to my doer, sell?
ing country produce. He proved to bo a
graduate cf the Western Marylaim col?
lege. He han passed civil service exami?
nation in Baltimore and had answered a
score of mercantile advertisements, but
had been unable to secure clerical work
solely by reason of the numbers await?
ing openings.
He had to return to his father'? farm.
He said ho could no longer stand a day's
wort on the faring and he was very dis?
consolate. I have sinco heard that he
has taken to drink. This is a sad in?
stance of what is going cn all over tho
land. The boy* are told to get an "edu?
cation," .- cr. ni, and they will speedi?
ly becoi.. me cities principals cf
schools, heans of firms and bank presi?
dents, and the girls are told that they
also will as speedily become tho wives
of such distinguished men.
It has been ascertained that ovr . 00
out of every I Ct) v.-h o enter city business
fail, and it i.-; to this sad reality, added j
to that of rarely obtaining a city open- !
ing ia the first place, that tho youth cf
our land have been seduced by rho ed
'ucator, the preacher and the politician
alike. Within the past year Farm Re?
form records some '2 00, OOO persons as ;
leaving the cities and stagnated mining
and manufacturing centers and betaking
themselves to farms, either bought or
rented or accepted under agreement wj th
some colonization society. Most all these j
persons represent a class having some
little means with which to make the i
move. They have only needed to hear
that people who can work need not j
starve in the country, and they sc. Bat !
aside from this class there is another
and totally dependent- class, with no
means at hand to move, with bodies
emaciated from lack cf proper food,
clothing and shelter, to whom help
must he extended in order to get them
to the farms. For these unfortunates
charity cr state aid must be given.
Washington city has, I believe, by an
admixture of charity and state aid, un?
dertaken to place its 200 poer families
upon 10,000 acres of land, but not until
next year can we know thc result. The
figures already submitted tend to show
that the total cost cf this experiment
will be much less than that heretofore
required to sustain the same dependents j
by the usual forms of charity. Not
books, but bread : not idleness, but
work-is the cry cf the masses at the
present day. All people cannot be clerks; j
all cannot work cn railroads or in fae- ?
tories or mines, but all can work on tho
land. Every one has an opportunity in ;
tho present to perform a duty in his re?
spective line that will tend to relieve us
of the troubles now threatening our
country. This duty lies in preaching, in
publish;:;;:, in legislating and in finan?
cially assisting tho farm reform move?
ment until that situation is reached in
which there are no dependents in the
cities and nc further educational incite?
ments in the rural districts to seduce
the youth cf the land to them. People
must be tanght that they must make
their livelihoods out of the soil, nor cut
of tricks played on their fellow men.
I "If a man is educated, he'll bc sharp
enough to make a living whether he
gets work or not," said aman to me the
other day who represents the class plead?
ing for our so railed education. His ut?
terance proves hov; our education is
breeding too many men who try to get a
liviug without work. We must break
with the idea that nothing is worth un?
dertaking that does not promise a for?
tune. Men who are starving want food ;
men who are shivering want clothing
and shelter. These can be had for every
man, woman and child in the nation if
we do our duty. We must pull together,
rich and poor alike, in the futuro if we
expect the wail of distress and the cry
of revolt to be no mere heard in the
land. All that we eat, drink, wear and
shelter ourselves with comes from the
country. If there is no money in the
country, there arc these few little things
in it. If wheat and corn should fall to
10 cents a bushel, if cotton and bacon
should fall to a cent a pound and other
products to like figures, let them fall.
And when they do, there will be no
want in the land, although perhaps ev?
ery countryman will not have a ready
$100 to go to the World's fair or to
i squander in any of the thousand ways
I now going. Economy and honest toil
j mnst.be &e^tuptto of J ho ?ias?es for thu
I ?uture," ??<rt"'extravagant" rmTtations of
! the rich and mutterings cf "the world
; owes me a living.'" Farm reform is not
a mere palliativ?1, h would be such did
it get every necessary person to tho land
I and allow a continuation of the present
j educational tendencies. Then tito chil
? dren of these who betake themselves to
I the land would, in a few years, flock
again to the cities, and thc same c
tions now confronting nsw?:.:
pear.
Our education in the future must bc
to work and not to books, and it wi:
prove itself in the end a true and a bet
I arter gjfis ca? more gcneK*jiy"7?Ii?ii*7'
! rca;] -dud write at home, and after the;
j learn this much they can, like Benjamin

With moderate, almost; hourly, oiversifi

i tho young and muy become far more cn
I grossing than the baseball and other
j crazes that arc now allowed to absorb
i the time of poor people's children out
! side of the school. Like a farmer breaks
his celts to work, so should he break his
? children-early, regularly, variously
! and carefully.
? The present system cf education ha?
i not saved our people and our country,
j as the politicians have premired us. I:
i has been tried for years and has brough;
j us to the verge of revolution. Enmii

THE GOVERNMENT TO GIVE GREATER
AID TO SCIENCE.
Professor VT. L. 3!oorc advocates the
creation of a new department cf stare
with a new cabinet officer-viz, a de?
partment and secretary of science. This
is certainly a wise suggestion, for many
of the questions that now beset us are
to be settled not by theoretic and legis?
lative guessing, but by scientific inves?
tigation. Our financial question, how to
improve farming, etc., are subjects not
j for partisan greed and stupidity to set?
tle, but for level headed investigation,
for scientific experimentation and de?
duction. Professor Moore says the pres?
ent annual government expenditure for
the promotion of scientific investigation
is something over SS, OOO, COO and pro?
vides employment for over 5,000 per?
sons. The research covers almost the en?
tire field, from determining the move?
ments of the heavenly bodies to the
I classification cf bacteria. There are bu?
reaus for studying the earth and its
products, the atmosphere and its changes,
economic plants and their culture, do?
mestic animals! and their kind and for
the investigation of economic problems.
There are surveys for measuring the land
and sounding the waters of the country;
stari.-ticai agencies fer collecting, com- ;
piling and discussing rhe results of !
many industries; stations for agrien l-l
tura! experiment and fish culture, and ?
there are bureaus whose business is to j
snidy how to protect the forests and
save the forage resources of the plains, |
as well as to promote fruit culture and i
teach how lo protect fruit anil crops !
from blights and injurious insects.
There are museums in which are pre-!
served und exhibit d objects of art, eth?
nology, natural history, mineralogy,
geology and things illustrative cf social
and mechanical progress.
These institutions of the government,
Professor Moore says, are of constantly
growing importance, and tho necessity
for a system that will simplify tho
work and the Promulgation of informa?
tion gained is constantly apparent.
Charles W. Dabney, Jr., assistant sec?
retary of agriculture, in an article in
Science of Jan. 15, summarizes the sci?
entific work done by the government
and points out the necessity for co-oper?
ative organization in the direction pro?
posed. The plan is said to be favored by
the chiefs of departments.
