During June, The Junta's Representative Thinks Spain Will Soon Withdraw Troops and Blame Defeat on This Country. General Emlllo Nunez, of the Cuban Junta, has returned to tHe city after a conference hwlth General Estrada Palma In New York In regard to the filibustering expeditions so successfully landed last week. The general was seen at his bouse last evening, and said no more expeditions would be sent to the Island for some weeks, as the Insurgents were well equipped to make an aggressive fight against the Spaniards. Among other things, the General said: "All Cubans are extremely chagrined at the capture of arms and ammunition by the SpnniRh authorities through the treachery of Dr. Louis Mayoline, who accompanied a recent expedition and natlfled the Span-lards that munitions had been landed at Campo Florido.

I am now perfectly satisfied with the sltntlon on the Island and advices from Generals Garcia and Gomez are most encouraging. The war Is ending In favor of Cuba. Spain, I think, will soon begin to withdraw her troops and as gracefully as possible give up the Island with the excuse that America is to blame for her inability to conquer Cuba. "ine idea tnnt there will ne war Detween Spain and America Is ridiculous. If the 1'nlted States should take a step that would anger Spain, war might be declared, but no harm would resnlt.

There Is no difficulty in landing an expedition after It Is once successfully started from America. The Spanish gunboats are useless for a coast patrol, and fall to overtake the slowest of our filibustering steamers."

Further Facts Can Only be Gained Diving to a Depth of Sixteen Fathoms of Water. by Special Telegram to The Times. Jacksonville, September 26.

It Is believed here that the schooner which foundered about thirty miles due east of the St. John's river bar Is the schooner Thomas W. Wlnsmore, bound for this port from Philadelphia wth a cargo of coal. All that can be seen of the schooner now is a mast sticking from the water. The tug Three Friends went out to mnke an investigation of the wreck yesterday, and, sending out a small boat, found that the vessel was lying In about sixteen fathoms of water with tbe mast and also a spar sticking up.

The insmore is well known here, having made frequent trips to this port, and from what was seen of the vessel It was thought to be the Wlnsmore. Her commander was Captain Hudson. Captain James Conwell Is usually In command, also being part owner. The only way in which to ascertain what vessel it is would be to send down a diver, but as It lies In very deep water, it would be Impossible to get any one here to make the attempt. Whatever vessel It Is, It seems likely that the entire crew has perished unless they were picked up by some passing vessel, which Is hardly likely under the circum stances, as they would have made for this port.

THE WINSMORE SAFE Arrived In Jacksonville But Slightly Dam agedSunken Vessel Now Thought to be the Charles Davis. Jacksonville, September 23. The schooner Thomas W. Wlnsmore, which sailed from, Philadelphia September 16 for this port, and which was thought to be the sunken vessel off the St. John's bar, has arrived with only slight damages from the storm.

It Is now thought that the sunken schooner is the Charles Davis, which sailed from Philadelphia on the same date as the Wins-more. All hands are supposed to have been lost.

ALWAYS A DOMINANT PERSONALITY Prominent as an Artist, Composer and Teacher, II is Great Work Was as Choral Conductor. MICHAEL H. CROSS Michael H. Cross, the distinguished musician, died at an early hour yesterday morning at his home on Twenty-first street, above Chestnut.

He had been a sufferer for several years from an organic disease of the heart, and nearly two years ago had a very alarming attack that confined him to the house for a long time and from which he never fully recovered. A similar Illness during last winter proved still more serious and he was obliged to give up a great deal of bis work. At the Inst concert of the Orpheus Club, whlcb marked the close of a quarter of a century under bis direction, he was able, to lead only the opening chorus, and from that time his strength has been constantly falling. He spent the summer at Cbestaut Hill and returned to bis town bouse only about ten days ago, when it waa apparent that tbe end of his active life was He received the last sacraments of the church on Friday and thereafter very calmly and peacefully i and with clenr mind awaited death. The funeral service will be held on Thursday afternoon, at St.

He was twice mar ried, his first wife, Miss Stein, being the mother of his only son, Francis Thlbault Cross. His second wife, who was Miss Rlt- ter, survives him.

THE CAREER OF AN ARTIST The History of Music In Philadelphia Illustrated In the History of Mr. Cross. Although but 64 years old at his death Michael H. Cross had been a most prominent figure In tbe artistic life of Philadelphia for much more than one generation. He con spicuously represented the traditions, and upheld the high standard of artistic charac ter and alms, of that fine group of American musicians who made this city.

In the earlier half of the century, a centre of true musical culture and Influence. The first artistic Impulses that were felt here after the Quaker City began to emerge from Its colonial trammels, came from a number of men. of remarkably wide attainments and thorough education, who were mainly of English origin and trained In the clnsslcal school. Benjamin Carr was the chief of these, and with him were Bcbetky, a Scotchman, and Itaynor Taylor, and Loud, tbe organist at St. Peter aud Htipfeld, who was of German birth, and others whose fame is traditional.

It was under tbe influence of these men that Benjamin Cross, born In Philadelphia after the close of the war and educated at the University, took up the serious calling of a musician, and when those same men, with a famous group of cultivated amateurs, formed the Musical Fund Society In 1820, Cross was one of the first directors, and became the vocal conductor of that influential organization. He was a man of many gifts, famous as a baritone singer In oratorio, but especially famous as a choral conductor and a learned church musician. After the death of Carr, Cross sreceeded to bis professional leadership, which he was to transmit to bis son. A Born Musician. The elder Cross was for a long time the organist at St.

Augustine's, on Fourth street, and he married as his second wife, a sister of the learned pastor of tbat church, the Rev. Michael Hurley, after whom the son was named who was born on April 13, 1833. An elder son by his first wife had been called for BenJamlnCarr.andhsalsobecamea distinguished musician, well remembered In Philadelphia. Young Michael was a musician from the cradle. He played tbe violin as soon as he was big enough to hold it and the piano and organ before be was big enough to reach tbe pedals.

His father was a sympathetic, but exacting, master, and the boy was grounded In the theory and history of music as well as In Its technics.havlng Hornmannfor bis teacher on tbe piano and violin and Dr. Melgnen, the learned musician who succeeded Hupfeld as conductor of the osteal Fund Orchestra, in harmony and composition. His father taught him to sing, and while a mere child he took part In the quartettes at Hup-feld's bouse and acquired that devotion to the classical composers that never abated, and that real Joy In pure music that dominated his life. His bright mind, expanded by reading and by intercourse with the brilliant men of his father's circle, early developed In artistic character. At 14 he was the organist at St.

Patrick's Church, and ten years later, when his father died, bis place was already In tbe front rank. Mr. Cross was for a time organist at St. John's Church, then the pro-cathedral of the diocese, and afterwards for several years at Continued on Third Page. BOND SIGNERS NOT TO BE ARRESTED Lawyers Can Find No Statute on Which to Base Prosecution.

THE SENATORS NOT ON THE PAPER Neither Quay Nor Penrose Signed the Indemnity Bond Which Was Given the State Treasurer. United States Senator Quay Is expected to arrive In this city on Tuesday or Wednesday next. Information has been received here of the senior Senator's Intention to be at his home in Beaver on September 30, when his family will celebrate his 04th birthday, and of his purpose to stop off nt Philadelphia for a few hours on the westward Journey. During his brief stay Senator Quay will consult with Chairman Elkln concerning the conduct of the State campaign, and In all probability dlscnss political affairs with his IleutenantR, many of whom will come to this city from different sections of the Commonwealth to greet their leader. Senator Quay will also have a talk with his colleague, Senator Penrose, on the subject of Pennsylvania Federal appointments.

No Arrests of Bond Signers. Senator Quay will be at home when Gen eral Frank Reeder, the ex-Seeretnry of the Commonwealth, goes Into court In Northampton county on Monday next to demand a hearing on habeas corpus of the charges against him, upon which he has been arrested, in conjunction with Representative Weiss and M. C. Luckenbach, and the Beaver statesman will learn upon his arrival that the movement which was in contemplation having in view the arrest of General Reeder, State Chairman Elkln and the other signers of the indemnity bond given to State Treasurer Haywood to protect blm In the payment of advance salaries to legislative employes has been declared oft. It Is understood that the lawyers who were instructed to look Into the matter snrl prepare the necessary information and affidavits preliminary to the issuing of warrants for the arrest of the bond signers have found that there is no law on books of the State of Pennsylvania upon which a prosecution could be based.

The charge of conspiracy to Induce the State Treasurer to pay out public money without warrant of law. It appears, will not He, In view of the fact that all.or nearly all, the money paid by Treasurer Haywood under the protection of the Indemnity bond was duly appropriated and the appropriation approved by Governor Hastings. The State Treasurer Is Torbldden by the Constitution to pay moneys unless they have been appropriated, and it was at first thought by the citizens who contemplated the prosecution of the bond signers that Treasurer Haywood might be held criminally responsible for his share In the celebrated transaction. The Treasurer's Latitude. It is said, however, on the authority of several lawyers who have examined Into the question, that the Treasurer Is liable only civilly through his bondsmen for the Illegal payment of moneys, not appropriated.

and that under the laws relating to tbe conduct of his office, the State Treasurer can do anything he pleases with the money of the State, provided he turns over the proper amount to his successor. An additional fact which has cropped out within the past few days In relation to the Indemnity bond la that neither of the United States Senators was among the signers of that Intrunient. When the Idea of arresting the men who signed it was first broached It was supposed that Senators Quay and Penrose would both be implicated, but as It turns out, had they been arrested with the others whose prosecution was considered, they could have easily proven that they were In no way connected with the bond, and Incidentally they might hove had ground for civil action for damages against their accusers for false arrest. Some of Colonel Quay's friends In this city are of the opinion that the talk of arresting his adherents for the bond transaction has had the effect of shortening the Senator's stay In Florida, and causing him to come home to witness the threatened pro ceedings and their results. Senator Quay, It Is believed, will remain In the State until he goes to Washington In December to attend tbe session of Congress.

REWARDS FOR ACTIVE CARRIERS Two Handsome Bicycles Presented to the Men Who Worked Hardest to Bring About the Increase. C. T. ADAMS Winner of First Prize Bicycle.

That is the significant combination of ng- ores which represents, in small part only, the Increase in the circulation of The Times during the months of June, July and An gust. This Is a phenomenal gain, aa during the above months the circulation of all news papers shows a decrease through the carrier service, owing to the large number of peopl Jeaving the city. This Increase was brought bbout through the medium of ten active and energetic members of the Philadelphia Morn Ing Paper Carriers' Beneficial and Protectivi Association. That number, too, represents but the par tial result of a spirited contest, inaugurated among more than 130 carriers over -three months ago, by the oiler of Thb Times, that to the two carriers adding the largest number of subscribers to their lists during ensuing three months first grade bicycles would be presented In recognition of their efforts.

A Felicitous Occasion. it was a most felicitous occasion, was this gathering. The carriers who have done so much on behalf of The Times were gla-1 to welcome cordially its representatives; the representatives were exceedingly glad to see and to know the carriers. The carriers listened with marked attention to the presentation speech by Darwin G. Fenno, managing editor of the paper; while all, F.

And then, when these speeches were ended and everybody In the ball had paid bis earnest and sincere compliments "to the liberality "of a great newspaper, which has been the direct cause cf so hnppy an occasion," as one speaker put it, there came a different feast a "feast cf good things," too.
