AN ISLAND EXPEDITION,
Authorities Notified of the
Movement of the Armed
Forces.
VERY HARD TIMES CAUSED.
That a General Uprising
Is Expected.

HAVANA, CUBA, June 5.-The Govern
ment authorities have information of an
expedition from Dauphin Island and other
places in the bay of the Mississippi River,
which is being filled out with a considerable
armed force to aid the rebels here.
The United States authorities at Wash
ington and the Spanish legation there
have been notified, and are informed of all
the movements of the expedition and the
names of the ships in use. The authorities
also have their eyes upon some suspicious
movements about Mobile, Ala.
In reply to direct inquiries the acting
Captain-General says there is no truth
whatever in recent reports that Marti is
still alive. He says the corpse of Marti
has been identified beyond the slightest
question.
No news concerning Maxine Gomez has
been received since May 20, the day of the
fight where Marti was killed and Gomez
reported wounded.
The acting Captain-General says that the
reports that Marti is alive are being cir
culated by Cubans for the express purpose
OF keeping up the courage OF people inter
ested in the expedition now rendezvouzing
at Dauphin Island.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
semi-official statement has been received
here from one of the leaders in the most
influential elements in Cuba, showing that
the war expenditures are becoming so
enormous, and the sugar and tobacco in
dustries so improbable, that they believe
general uprising will result from the
hard times caused.

They Are Greatly Retarded 6y European
Quarantine LaaCs.
WASHINGTON. D. c., June 5.-Consul-
General Karel at st. Petersburg has sent
to the State Department report upon
the efforts Russia is now making to over
come the obstacles which interfere with the
export of her cattle and meats to different
European markets. At present no Russian
cattle are exported to Austria, England,
france or Germany, exports of such cattle
being confined to Turkey, Italy, Greece
and the island of Malta. Russian meat
is allowed in Germany, but the quaran-
tine rules, it is contended, are being abused
to its exclusion. England admits Russian
meat, but complains of the quality. Late
ly it has been found suitable for beef tea
and demand created, it being used almost
exclusively for that purpose. The largest
consumer of imported meats is England,
that country using LAO, 100000 to 1861
$4,000 pounds annually. Russia exported
in 1898 1900 cattle, $1,000 hogs, 1853, 900
sheep and meat to the value of $4,000
rubles. The United States supplies about
three-fourths of all the meat for the Euro
pean demand.

An Outbreak Betsoeen the Po,rers and

LONDON, Eng, June 5.-There was
| much excitement in London about the
Foreign Office yesterday on the receipt OF
the official dispatches confirming the dis
| patches from Constantinople announcing
that the Turkish Government had refused
to agree to reforms in Armenia which were
demanded by the representatives of Great
Britain, France and Russia
All the Foreign Office officials, including
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
the Earl of Kimberly, were at their posts
last night and assembled again at the For
eign Office to-day. There is a strong be.
lief in well-informed circles here that the
reply of the porte was purposely drafted
in unfavorable terms in order to gain time.
The Sultan is invisible during the Sariam,
one of the two great Mohammedan festi
walls OF the year. which is now being OBJ
served. Consequently the powers it is
asserted, will now address stronger note
to the porte and in addition will back this
up by naval demonstration The crisis
in the East is already regarded on all sides
as being grave, and this feeling is intensi-
fed by the news from Constantinople to-
day telling of the panic at Jeddah, the threat
ened attack of the Bedouins and the fight
of Europeans who are seeking safety on
board the vessels in the harbor.
1t is freely predicted here that an out
break is inevitable. There is no question
of the powers abating their demands in
any form, although there is growing
belief that Russia is backing Turkey in the
latter's refusal to agreee to the reforms de-
manded by the powers for Armenia. The
full text of the demands of the powers will
be published here to-day. 1t makes over
5000 words, and the main points of it have
already been cabled.
The note of the powers in this connection
make twelve distinct suggestions or de-
mands in regard to Armenian reforms as
follows.
First-The eventual reduction of the number
of viIayets.
Second-Guarantees for the selection of wallis.
or Governors.
Third-Amnesty for Armenian political
prisoners.

Fifth-Final settlement for common law
crimes.
Sixth-The inspection of prisons
Seventh-The appointment of high COM
missioner to supervise the reforms.
Eighth-The creation of a permanent COM
mittee in control at COnstantinople.
Ninth-Indemnity to the Sassoun and other
victims of the recent massacres.
Tenth-Reguation of religious conversions.

Twelfth-Position of the Armenians in other

SALT LAKE, UTAH, June Ex-senator ],
M. Thurston in an interview today on the
silver question said:
cat the time | opposed BRYAN for the
Senate I took the position that the United
States could not take care of all the silver
in the world, but should take care of the
American product under such conditions
as would make silver dollar as good as

publican party will make declaration
substantially the same as that of the ma
tional platform of 1892. 1t binds the party
to take care of the American product and
believe the obligation will be recognized.

which fused with the Populists will declare
for free and unlimited coinage. feel now
that there will be two Democratic conven-
tons. When the convention is held I be-
lieve the free silver wing of the party will
be in absolute control, though it may not
be able to nominate on account of the two

Being asked about the stand of the Re-
publican party on the tariff he said: ''If

SilveT Meeting.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, June General
J. B. Weaver and other leaders of the sill
yer party of the West were present at the
State silver meeting to-day. There was
large attendance, and much enthusiasm
was manifested. The conference to-day
was non-partisan, and it is understood no
effort will be made to nominate ticket.
The silver wing of the Democratic party
has a conference scheduled for tomorrow.
Most of those here to-day will stay over
for it.
A letter from United States Circuit Judge
Henry G. Caldwell of Little Rock, Ark,
was read, in which he says: $50 long as
we proclaim to the world that our purpose
is to adhere to the single gold standard till
England agrees to abandon it, free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at any ratio will
never come. Supplications in this direc-
ton would be in vain. What is more,
Englands action is a courageous and ag-
gressive action, not a cowardly supplica-
ton. The issue is sharply defined. Those
who do not favor free coinage of gold and
silver at Is to 1, making silver unit of
value, as done under the act of 1892, are
for the gold standard. There is no middle
ground -

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, June 5.-The
Mayor of Southampton gave lunch to-
day in honor of the officers of the United
States and Italian warships now in these
waters. There was a distinguished COM
pany present, including Warner S.
Klrkead, United States Consul here. The
Mayor proposed the health of the Presi-
dent of the United States.
In toasting the officers of both squadrons
the Mayor dwelt upon the fact that such
interchanges of courtesies were doing
much for the preservation of peace. Ad-
miral Kirkland, in replying, said that he
and his officers had been much impressed
with the reception they had met with
since their arrival at Southampton, and re-
counted some amusing experiences of his
career in the United States navy.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 5.-To-day Mrs.
Hedberg, the widow of Captain He'd berg,
who was shot and killed few months ago
by Lieutenant Nancy at Fort Sheridan,
the post at which both men were stationed,
was married to Raymond Stephens, the
son of Henry Stephens, the box manufac-
turer.
Young Mr.. Stephens is about IS years OF
age and is musical in his taste, this fact
leading to his acquaintance with Mrs.
Hedberg, who is quite singer. Mrs. He'd
berg is about 30 years of age and has a
reputation as beauty. Before the death
of her husband she was one of the best
known women at Fort Sheridan on &C.

the trial of Lieutenant Nancy by her

York on their wedding trip, and will
probably be on the road good deal as
Mr.. Stephens is professional singer.

H0NGKONG, CHINA, June 5.-The re-
public of Formosa has collapsed, the Presi-
dent has fed and the foreigners are in
safety. The Chinese forces in the northern
part of the island became disorganized on
the approach of the Japanese troops and
the soldiers of the President joined the
mob in rioting and looting and burning
the Government buildings at Tapeh Flu
and Hobe.

port of Mecca and the scene of the recent
murderouS assault ON the consular officers
of Great Britain, Russia and France, an
nounce that panic prevails there. 1t is
feared the Bedouins will attack the town.
The latter are held responsible for the at
tack upon the Consuls, which resulted in
the death of the British Vice-Consul, and
a number were arrested in consequence.
This has caused an angry feeling among
the Bedouins who demand the release of
those apprehended and threaten to use
force if the demand is not complied with.
The situation is so serious that the Euro
peans at Jeddah are hastily seeking refuge
on board the merchant vessels in the har-
Dor, taking all they possibly can of their
belongings. 1t is also stated that the ar
rival of the British Mediterranean squad
ron, Numbering seventeen warships of
various classes, is anxiously expected at
Jeddah even by the Turkish authorities, as
the garrison is very weak.
Animosity has also been aroused .by the
quarantine measures which the Turkish
Government has been compelled to take
order to prevent the introduction of
cholera into northern ports by the return
of infected pilgrims from Mecca In fact
it Is believed that the sanitary measures
were the local cause of the attack upon the
Consuls. The measures referred to were
quite recently taken under severe pressure
OF the powers and at the instance of the
Turkish international councils of health,
for the purpose of cleansing the holy places
frequented annually by so many thousands
of pilgrims.
These sanitary Improvements began in
April last at Jeddah, and at other towns
OF the pilgrim district of Arabia, and they
include the building of hospitals, the fire.
quent distinction of the places resorted to
by pilgrims, the selection by the health
officers OF the camping places, furnishing
wholesome supplies of water and pro-
visions, and general sanitary supervision
over the pilgrims.
To this new order of things the latter
have strongly objected, looking upon
it is an unwarranted interference on the
part of the Europeans in their religious
customs, and it is feared that the so-called
holy men are exciting the pilgrims against
time privileges and profits will be swept
away if the march of sanitation is not
stopped.
The ENJOYS of Great Britain, Russia and
France in this city are awaiting instruc-
tons from their Governments in regard to
the situation of affairs at Jeddah, as well
as regarding the refusal of the Turkish
Government, as exclusively cabled to the
Associated Press yesterday, to agree to the
reforms in Armenia which have been pro-
posed by the powers. In this connection
the situation of affairs is unchanged. The
porte's reply, however, is regarded as
momemtary success for the military party.
On the other hand, the policy of Turkey
in this matter is criticized by the Ottoman
statesmen, who regard the porte's action
as disastrous to Turkey.

at the foot of Fulton street promptly at IL
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-06

o'clock this forenoon to enter upon her
first voyage across the ocean. She carried
the full number of cabin and saloon pas
sengers for which she has accommoda-
tons. Among the passengers were the
following: Mr.. and Mrs. Henry E. Abbey,
Colonel "a. F. Folter, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Brandus, Major General r. A.
Barker, Henry Cannon, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Drew, Frederick T. Frelinghausen, Miss
L. Frelinghaus Lloyd G. Griscom, Mrs.
c. +. Gunther, Sir Julian and Lady Paunce-
fote and the Misses Pauncefote, Nine.
Rejan and Count Wickenberger.
Besides Captain Randle and Chief En-
gineer Walls, the principal officers on the
st. Louis are Thomas Kinsey, purser; R.
Lloyd Parker, surgeon, and James Farrell,
chief steward.
A heavy fog enveloped the river and
harpor, which prevented the greeting of
the st. Louis by steam and sailing vessels
as she passed out toward the ocean, such
as she would have received had the atmos-
phere been clear.
A trial trip of the big liner took place
last week, preliminary to her first voyage
across the Atlantic. The St. Louis left
Philadelphia Saturday morning, the 18th
of May, and steamed to the eastward well
out to sea. After making the coast again
near Nantucket she cruised along the
Long Island shore, reaching New York the
following Thursday. During this time the
monster craft was put through her PAGES
and Unanswered in all sorts of ways.
While the trial trip was more than salts
factory, it was the opinion of experts that
she would have made at least another
knot than was placed to her credit had it
not been for the poorly drilled fremen
that fed the great furnaces. AS it was she
made 22.25 knots, or over two knots more
than is required by the Government in
order to secure the contract for carving
the mails. When the machinery gets into
good working order it is believed that she
will be able to make twenty-three knots an
hour in cooler weather. In fact the st.
Louis is looked upon as record breaker.
