ADMIRAL MElDE'S SQUADRON.
II Is Scheduled to VISIT Havana A prII go
The Montgomery Ordered to Join II.

WASHINGTON. March "a The serious cond-
lion of affairs in Cuba is recognized by the State
Department. but the !Aliianca incidcn. has inter-
vened TO prevent this Government from display
ing the usual interest in revolutions which may
injnre American interests by sending n naval
vessel or vessels to the perturbed section. 1t
has always been customary for the United
Statos Navy Department to see that q man-Of-
war was sent TO any place where the rights,
property and lives OF American citizens were
endangered through domestic uprising war
with another country.
American interests in Cuba are very large.
and as the revolution has now assumed formid-
able shape II was presumed that this Govern
ment would despatch cruiser to Havana or
some other Cuban port without delay. large
fleet under Admiral Meade Is now In the vicin-
ity Of Cuba and presumably will leave Kings
ton, Jamaica, to-day for Colon, where the ves-
sells are scheduled to remain twenty days. But
while tho Alliance affair is hill unsettled It Is
probable that no American war ship will touch
at Cuban port. The itinerary OF Admiral
Meade's fleet, however, calls for Havana on
April 20 for a stay of three days.
The cruiser Montgomery has been ordered to
join Admiral Meade's squadron. This will give
linn seven vessels, the New York. Minneapolis
Columbia, Cincinnati, Atlanta Raleigh. and
Montgomery. the largest squadron of modern
vessels seen on any station for many years. The
Montgomery iB now at Mobile, Ala. and will
start south as soon AS she Goals. AT what point
she will join the squadron is not known. but it
will probably be Colon or Port Limon.

Special Cdb!e DesDdtch TO THE SuS.
LONDON, March 30.-The detection Of the gas
argon in the atmosphere is being followed
by rapid series of discoveries of great
interest. Chemists have long known, theo-
retically. of the existence of another e!e-
ment which has been called Helium, and
which was revealed by the spectroscope, In the
suns rays. 1t was not known to exist in this
planet Prof. Ramsay few days ago. in
order to find whether thero was something
in tho world with which argon would
keep company. was examining an extremely rare
When this mineral is treated with weak sui
phuric acid it gives off u gus which has hither-
to been regarded rs nitrogen. The Professor
found by close examination that it was not nj
trogen. but argon. and moreover. there was as
socated with it another gas which he found to
be. TO use his own words. gas which had not vet
been separated. He submitted it to Prof
Crcokes. and the result Is to show that the Gas
thus found Is Helium.
Nj. Berthelot. continuing his experiments in
Paris, found that in manipulating argon lie de-
veloped at an ordinary pressure a magnificent
fuorescent substance greenish yellow in color
and characterized by . spectrum similar to that
OF the Aurora Borealis. From this he detluccd
that the northern lights are caused by fuores-
cent matter derived from argon and engendered
through tho influence of electrical emanations
developed in the atmosphere.
Still another scientific triumph of the week

LONDON. March 3o.-The Cabinet Council was

II is understood that Lord Kimberley made n
report upon q long conference which he held with
Baron do Courcel, tho French Ambassador. on
Thursday. just prior 20 tho delivery of Sir Ed
ward Grey's speech In the House Of Commons.
1t is also said that the Foreign Secretary pre-

Ambassador to France, telling os IN interview
he had had with NJ. Hsuotaux, the French For
eign Minister, at which tho latter expressed his
sincere desire to maintain tho most friendly re-
latons between France and Great Britain.
NJ. Hsnotaux made tho contention that the
French extensions OF territory in the IIinter-
land in no way oncroached upon the British
sphere. but declined to recognize rs British
territory that included in tho Upper Nile Valley.
The whole position pivots upon tho accuracy
Of the information received by the Foreign

ANOTHER HAWAIIAN pLOT.
Mr.. Ashford and others said 20 re Pre-
pnrinr Ono More Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-Information has
reached tho Office OF Hawaiian Consul Wilder of
plot to overthrow the present Government In
the islands. The leaders of tho alleged con-
spiracy. which was hatched In this city. are said
by the Consul to be C. w. Ashford. ex.Attorney-
General and others who were deportcd for COM
plicity In the recent revolution.
Immediately upon tho arrival OF Ashford he
gave 1t out that he intended soon to return to
Honolulu, and proposed TO remain In spite of
the wishes Of tie Government. Little attention
was paid to his threat at the time, but
subsequent developments 20 to show that
he meant business. The consplrators, IL
is said, have becn negotiating for the char
ter of schooner which was to make
an attack upon Honolulu. Tho plan was to
supply the schooner with a crew of men who
were willing to take the chances OF the expedl-
ton. furnish them with arms and ammunition
and couple Of Hotchkiss rapid-fring guns.
and 70 sct sail on a fiibustering excursion.
Negotiations were entered into with the own
ers OF the schooner Alexander, but whether
they we're successful or not is matter OF con-
lecture. The Alexander is lying at tho sea wall,
fitting out for mysterious cruise to tho south
seas. That she has fallen under the suspicion
OF the authorities is shown by the fact that the
customs inspectors are keeping a close watch
upon her.
The exiles feel confident that IL they could
appear in Honolulu harbor with an armed
schooner they would have little difficulty in
capturing the town. The money to pay tho cost
of fitting out tho vessel and carrying
out the plot, will. 1t is said, from the same
source that furnished the cash to buy arms used
by the rebels in the recent insurrection. Several
conferences have been held recently in the
rooms occupied by Ashford. and it is asserted
TINT an attempt will be made to bring the en-
terprise to y head soon.
