ATLANTIC CITY. March IB. Custom
House Inspector E. A. Hlgbco learned yos
terday afternoon that Genoral Gnrcla nnd
a band of Cuban patriots left Somcrs'
Point harbor early iu the. morning on tho
steamer Bermuda. Ho has notified tho
secretary of war,
It appears that Gonoral Garcia secured
thp steamer Atlantic City, which has been
for sovpral months lying at Tuckahoo out
of commission, nnd transforrod his men
and arms to tho stoamcr Bermuda, which
arrived hero Tuesday night. Tho filibus

Last Monday the owners of tho Atlnntlo

poso of giving tho stonmer a trlnl trip for
tho boneflt of partlos who had nn option
upon It for purchase. When she stoamod
into tho harbor on Tuesday, theroforo, no
especial attention was paid her. It was
soon observed, howovor, that a numbor of
strangers wcro loitering about tho wharf,
and their mysterious actions creatod sus
picion. Ycstorday local captains noticed tho At
lantic City suddenly steam towards Little
Egg Harbor bay, ond thonco ocoanward.
Later In tho day sho returned and wont to
Tuckahoo. It has since been learned tl)at
tho local steamor mot tho Bcrmuda,which
camo from New York, and that Garcia and
his party woro takon aboard. It is asserted
that tho two steamors were seen side by
sido and when they parted each gave n
loud whistlo blast.
Recorder Ingersoll, owner of the Atlnn
tlo City, denied any knowledgo of tho
steamer bolng utilized for a Cuban expe
dition. Ho admitted that inspection papers
had been taken out, but said it was ,to put
tho steamor in tompornry commission for

ordered to march ovor to Candelaria. Tho
march was mudo iu torrents of rain. Tho
Insurgents, to tho number of 4,000, woro
awaiting tho advance of tho troops on a
farm. As they camo up at a rapid gallop
tho insurgouts opened ilro along an oxtou

An Early Nornlng: Night Shirt Parade
In Corridors.
THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A FIRE
But an Investigation Showed That It WaB
Caused by an Odor Arising From Some
Place Outside of the Hotel No
Panic Ensued,
At about two o'clock this morning a strung
odor from burning rags pervaded tho cor
ridors of tho Ferguson House and penetrated
tho rooms of tho occupants to such an ex
tent that nearly all of them wero aroused
by nn apprehension of fire. Some of the
moro nervous guests rushed out into tho
corridors scantily clad and entirely Indlf
forcnt to tho amusement of their moro self
possessed neighbors, but none went into
hysterics, or behaved panicky. Mr. Hutch
ison, tho proprietor, nud his employes wcro
tho first to discover tho odor and completed
au Investigation by the time tho guests
stalked forth in grotesque brigades. Tho
latter woro assured that tlicro was no causo
for alarm and one by one they withdrew to
their apartments. Ono drummer who had a
great strugglo witli Morpheus beforo ho could
reach tho corridor said ho was prepared to
swear Shenandoah is tho nearest place on
tho faco of tho cartli to Shoel, as every timo
he comes to tho town he is aroused from ids
slumber by fire. Ho first visited tho town
in November, 1883, when tho Eieatcouflagra-
tion swept nway about half tho town. His
second visit was on Juno 1st, last, when tho
big Centra street firo took placo.
Tho causo of last night's ilurry was not
difinitoly settled. It is supposed that tho
odor got into the hotel through some win
dows that wcro left open during tho night.
Tlicro was nothing iu tho building to cause it.
Tho report that a new woman stopped at
the hotel last night nud set firo to her
bloomers whilo smoking iu bed is without
foundation.

ANDREWS AND LEACH.

Cunvnss for Chairman.
Philadelphia, March 10. Tho fight for
tho chairmanship of tho Kepublicau state
committeo, between Senator William H.
Andrews, of Crawford county, and Frank
Willing Leach is creating much interest, es
pecially among tho friends of Senator Quay.
Ex-Chalrnian Audrows' friends mado tho
announcement of his candidacy last week,
and on Tuesday Mr. Leach submitted to au
interview nnd announced his desiro to suc
ceed Chairman Quay, lie will mako an
active canvass iu every county in tho stato.
Mr. Andrews' plan of campaign has not yet
been announced. Ho is now in California,
iu Quay's interests, and will not return for
about ten days.
Senator Quay will havo considerable in
fiucneo iu naming tho statu chairman, and
the contest between Andrew sand Leach may
make it necessary to namo some one else, if
any bitterness is shown. The name of Deputy
Attorney Genoral John P. Elklu, of Indiana
county, is prominently mentioned. Ho is
well lilted for the position, and is a strong
supporter of tho Junior Senator.

A Premature lieport.
A Pottsvillo contemporary announced last
night that Shenandoah Lodge No. SHI, I. O.
O, F., had closed a bargain with Josiah W.
Johnson fur tho purchase of fuur lots south
of the l'escuo Hook and Ladder Company's
building, on North Main street, for ?10,000.
Tho report was at least premature. Mem
bers of tho organization hay the matter was
discussed at u meeting hold last Monday
evening, but it is not likely that any bar
gain of that kind will bo made. It is true,
nevertheless, that tho lodge has do-
Clded to sell tho pruporty on White street, as
it lias been discovered that tho site
cannot bo used to the advantago expected
when tho purchaso was mado a few weeks
ago. It is also a fact that the lodgo has the
inclination and means with which to eject an
opera house, but investigation thus far mado
has not presented an available site.
