Thrones In Europe That Are Occupied By
Stranger to the Land
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who now
rests under the shadow of . crime, is
one Of half dozen strange princekins
occupying the smaller thrones OF Eu-
rope. The most considerable of these
little monarchs, says the New York
Sun, is George of Greece, who is the
second son Of the present king Of Dem
mark. George was elected king Of the
| Hellcnes by the national bly,. I'M
der instructions from Great Britain,
France and Russia, just after his
predecessor, small Bavarian prince,
had been driven from the throne. King
Georges father was the first Of his own
dynasty in Denmark. having been de-
clared heir to a childless king by the
treaty of London in 1852
Bulgsrias little nsighbor. Roumania,

princes. elected under outside influence
In 1850 and proclaimed King Carol in
1881. He Is a son Of Prince Karl, of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Several even Of the German states
have new-madc sovereigns- The king
OF Bavaria, though descended from
the ancient electors of Bavaria, owes
his title Of king to the fact that It was
conferred upon his ancestor BY Ma
poleou I. Prince Albrecht, duke OF
Brunswick, cousin Of the present em-
perer OF Germany, was elected to his
little throne in 1855, the duke Of Cum

succession because he would not give
up his claim to Hanover. Frederick,
prince Of Waldeck, gave up all but the
shadow Of sovereignty to the emperor
OF Germany, and holds even the shadow
at the viii Of the latter.
Half a dozen other dynasties were
founded within the present century by
election. which usually means that
German princekins were placed upon
ancient thrones by agreement Of the
powers. The father of tho present
king Of tho Belgians was q prince of
Saxe-CoburR- Gotha, and was placed ON
the throne In the carly years Of tho
century after Belgium he'd been the
victim Of Napoleon. The presen, king,
by the way, Is . cousin OF Ferdinand of |
Bulgaria, the mothers OF the two ha wing

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 16.-Charles A.

| turned here and tells Of the half-starv-

ty Of firing around Baracoa when we
were there, two weeks ago." said he,
"but it was a wild disordered sort of
a fusilade such as gave the impression
that neither the Spanish soldires nor
the rebels desired to do much fighting.
We could plainly see the soldiers. and
they were a ragged, half-starved lot.

otism and s. would have bribed a

and white duck uniforms and were Of

New York, Aug. 16.-President Palma
of the Cuban revolutionary headquar-
tiers said today that a distinguished
Cuban now in this city on a secret mis-
sion had received a letter dated Aug. 4,
from his brother, one Of the best known
artists in Cuba, declaring an engage
ment that had taken place on that day.
The letter in part, says:
General Gomez, with SEQ Cubans, at
tackled a convoy of Spanish troops go
ing from GuiamorO to Port Au Prince
on Aug. 4. The Spaniards under Is
aiz numbered 500 and were we'll equip
ped. The fighting was hot and heavy
and at one time the patriots almost
succeeded in capturing the convoy. A
Spanish major and another officer were
killed, also seventy soldiers. The Cuban
loss was trif1ing.
The letter, like advices received from
Cuba, is very indefinite as to details.
1t is reiterated every day at Cuban
headquarters that the lack of details
of the news is owing to the strict CEN
sorship exercised by the Spanish au-
thorities over the mail and telegraph
lines. President Palma and his col
leagues profess to believe, however,
that the engagements that have so far
taken place have been mostly in favor
of their side.
They point to the fact that General
Campos in asking for more troops prac
tically endorses their belief.
