MYSTERIOUS BOXES
Are Delivered to Cuban Cigar

THEY MAY CONTAIN TOBACCO OR
PERHAPS ARMS.

The Spanish Government Says That Phiia-
Claims to Have Evidence Against
Several Who Have Shipped Arms to the
Insurgents-There Arrests Will be Re-
quested.
Philadelphia, March 23.-The element

cent rumors to the effect that the Cuban
their compatriots in other cities in stor-
ing, arms and sending to the revolution
lists of the island quantities of arms
and ammunition. The leaders of the
local agitation in behalf of the Cuban
Independence, scout the idea. They say
1t would be the most toolhardy and short
sighted project in which they could pos
sibly engage at this critical juncture, and
they would never consent to take part in
a movement like this which would array
powerful Uncle Sam against their cause.
What has lent an air of probability to
the rumors is the fact that at least four
wagon loads of boxes were mysteriously
ana cautiously delivered to Cuban cigar
stores in this city, within the past day
or two, and have been closely followed
and watched by Pinketon detectives. who
probably were employ ed by the Spanish
government. An official of the Spanish
government III Cuba arrived at Key
West, Fla, few days ago and said that
philadelphia was the hot bed of the Gu
ban revolutionary movement, and heavy
shipments of arms and ammunition had
been made from here. He was authority
for the statement that the names of the
persons so engaged are well known. Eas
well as the manner of operation and in
formation will be laid before the Spanish
minister at Washington within the next
few days, with instructions to ask the
United States government to arrest the
alleged offenders.

The Cunard Company's Annual Profits.
London, March 24.-The report of the

profit of 994. 900 pounds. This does not
equal the full annual depreciation, to cover
which 80. 900 pounds had to be transferred
from the insurance fund to the profit
count. The company thinks that the falling
off is due TO- the stagnation of business in

A. Melville Bell Of Washington, in

"A vowel is defined as nonfriotion.

Vowels therefore run smoothly into one

the oral passage without interrupting it.
"A consonant is defined as an inter
ception Of the breath or voice by oral
stoppage, or by emission through side
channels or through narrow chinks
The change from one consonant to an
other thus involves q motion OF the ar

or less audibiity. puff, flap or a sib-
