ment of police; Grand Marshal Commodore

An Oriental POmpeii-DiscOVery of
Buried Moorish CITY.

Great excitement has just been caused
at Algiers among arch9ologists and the
learned generally by the discovery of an
ancient Moorish city, with its mosques
and monuments, buried for ages in the
sand of the desert. The discovery is
due to Nj. Tarry, Inspector of Finance,
who Immediately communicated the fact
to the Algerian Government, begging for
the necessary help in excavation, and
also for concession of the desired space
in which to carry on the work. The
request, it is needless to say, has been
accorded. "The city disinterred" lies in
the environs of Ouargla, in the Saharan
desert. NJ Tarry identifies it with the
ancient City Of Cedrata, spoken of by Lar
gean in his work on Biskra. Historians
describe these wastes of sand as peOpled
centuries ago with fourishing cities.
having gardens and artificial water sys-
TENS, all long since destroyed in tribal
wars, or buried in the sand, and of which
up to this time no visible trace has re.
mained. NJ. larry describes the site as
precisely resembling that of Pompeii; it
is buried in the sand to the extent of
from six to ten metres. A mosque and
nine houses have already been excavated,
and the discoverer speaks enthusiastically
of the richly sculptured marble arches,
columns, inscriptions, ETC., abounding
on every side. He intends, however,
to reserve full account of his ex-
cavations for the science congress
to be held in Algiers this
spring; and meantime the works
are being strenuously pushed on. 1t is
noteworthy that the Inspector General of
mines some time since drew attention to
the fact of artesian "nappes" or basins
existing there, and NJ. Tarry's first eff
forts have been to experiment in this
direction After many unsuccessful at
tempts, he was at last rewarded by find
ing wafer and the commencement of an
aqueduct. A fete was given to the
workmen in celebration of this discov-
cry. AS the works of excavation are
carried on at distance of several miles
from the oasis of Ouargla, this find has
greatly facilitated matters, much more
labor and time having before been ex-
pended in the fetching of water.

THE GREEK QUESTION.
Feeling SmOulderiDg at Athens
The Outlook Threatening.

LONDON, April 25.-The Athens cores
pondent of the Daily NeaOs says: "The irri-
tation against the government, though kept
down, is unmistakable. The Minister of
War was so deeply impressed by the indig-
nation of the army that he insisted that the
second reply should demand the cession of
Elassona and Prevesa. On the Cabinets re-
fusal of his proposition he resigned. The
second reply, therefore, will not take differeut
ground from the first, although the immedi-
ate occupation of Thessaly and some pro-
vision for Epirus will be more urgently re-
quested. Should the Albanian movement
develop into regular warfare, Greece
must intervene to prevent Epirus from drift
ing into the Albanian League. In that case,
war would be inevitable whether the propo-
sails of the powers are accepted now or not. :"
The Athens correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian says: "Either the govern
ment is playing deep game with its own
people, or Greece is on the brink of war.
The main point In the Greek note, which
will be presented this week, will be It's calling
the attention of the powers to the fact that
they had not replied to the reservations
