NEW YORK, April 27-Capt. Thomas
Phelan, complainant against Short, who
attempted his assassination ia Rossa's Of
fee, disappointed the Irishmen OF the
radical dynamite school by returning
east to prosecute the case. His recent
journey from Kansas City to appear in
court against Short became too cautious
and two days ago on the New Jersey
side of the Hudson he sought secluded
spot, and as he supposed, a secure place
of refuge, and decided not to take the
risk of appearing in New York before il
was necessary. Three detectives who
are said to be among those who have
done the work In this country for
the British consul IN the matters
relating to the dynamite gsng were
Capt. Phelan's companions and guards
during the journey east, They and
their convoy, it is alleged, noted at diff
ferent stages of the trip that two men
were keeping too close to them to be
entirely chance fellow-travelers. II was
concluded that these men were actually
in pursuit of and watching Capt. Phe-
Ian. Long before Jersey City was reach.
ed there was no doub. among any Of
Phelan's party that they were under the
surveillance of men who represented hi:
enemies. When they arrived at jersey
City Ii was thought that the vigilance o.
the two shadows had been eluded, aaC
for two days Capt. Phelsn rested ia fan
cied secrecy. Yesterday, however, he be
! came convinced that his hiding place haG
been discovered. and that from the hous,
across the street be had been carefully
| watched. He took counsel of his friends
and they were very nervous over thes,
] movements. At their suggestion b.
wrote to District Attorney Martin and q
Supt. Walling, declaring that hi
| life was in DANGER and calling for pro-
lection. In response to the appeal De
tectIYes Van GerichteD, Slamson and tE,
i others, IL is alleged, were sent over q
the captains Jersey retreat and be va
escorted to the city and Is low In Ney
York hotel, practically under guard o
the detectives. A man who seems TO b
in the secrets OF the Radicals says the
know where the captain is and will keeI
track of blm wherever be goes. Thi
/ story is in active circulation among tn
Irishmen of both sides OF the dynamit
question and Is q common subject c
talk among them. Among officers IL
/ more difficult to get any talk about th
case. Supt. Walling. however. on bein
reused mp last night and asked a5or
il il refused information in such an equiv
/ ocal and evasiVe manner that there Is .
i doubt that there lie something in it.

ST. JOHN, N. F., April 27.-The brig
Seratha, arriving here last night, brought
in Capt. Brown and two of the brig
barance, discovered perishiDg amid the
ice foes in latitude 40 degrees 80 mIn-
utes north, longitude As degrees 81 mIn-
utes. They had been eighteen DAYS ex-
pc sed to RAIN, sleet and snow, without

Ann,I,er Rattle Rsported.


LONDON, April 2S.-News of another
battle, though not yet confirmed, has
greatly increased the danger of war.
The Times says that rumor Is prob
ably first oozlng out, of news which
has been officially suppressed. At pres
ent only the Independence Celge and
Daily News have received the report OF
the battle. 1t is presumed that a
body of Russians followed the
body of retreating Afghans
purpose of collecting Information, and
perhaps pushed to Chamembeide, thus
coming into contact with the Afghan
troops in direct route to Herat, or
similar movement may have been made
from Zuitikar or Akrobat. At present
there is nothing to show where the con-
fiIct occurred. a declaration of war Is
not expected 10 follow directly upon the
rupture of diplomatic relations. Baron
De Staal and Sir Edward Thornton
would be recalled and Russia would
then probably order Gen. Komarof to
| advance on Herat. England, mean
while, is occupying ILQuetha and Can
dahar. The tact that a Russian traD-
sport, which passed through the SueZ
/ canal and was then ordered back, Is still
waiting at the entrance of the canal
causes some anxiety. The first charter
for coal TO be sent TO Cronstadt was made
at West Hartley yesterday at 6s Cd pei
ton. which is nearly 2s aboye last year'i
rate. Russian importers are anxious
to get coal early into the Baltic. AL
British merchantmen have been insured
against war risks during the last few
days. 1t has been reported that the
whole Russian coast of the Baltic hai
been strongly fortified and that the ap
proaches at any point are dangerous
owing TO the presence of torpedoes ant
sea mines.
NOT CONFIRMED.
Gladstone stated in the house of com
mons this afternoon that the government
had received no confirmation of the bat
tie reported TO have recently occurred be
tween the Russians and Afghans with
victory for the latter. Mr.. Files Ash

Farm Facts.

The cotton receipts at the Lawrence
vile depot now run up to from 60 to so
bales per day.
Sandersville Mercury: Mr.. Joseph A.
Snipes, who lives on Col. Hines planta-
ton, brought in a fine load of Hanover
turnips ON Saturday. He says he has an
acre sOwed and that they are all very
fine. A gentleman who has seen the
patch thinks it will make at least 500
bushels of good turnips. They were
sowed on Aug. on fresh land, fertilized
partly by cowpenning and partly by COM
post. The part fertilIZed by compost he
says has made the best turnips.
Monroe Advertiser: w. j. Williamson,
Sr., one Of our good farmers, has shown
us a stalk of cotton well filled with pods
everyone OF which seemed to be deceased,
so much so that no cotton will be realized
from them. Mr.. Williamson says much
of his cotton was in the same condition,
and that the first appearance of the dis
ease on a stalk would manifest itself in q
small dark spark on a pod, and in three
days all the pods on that stalk would be
destroyed or ruined. VIII some agricul-
