terraneously connected with the Gulf Of
Bothnia has found many believers, among
them the celebrated Kirchner, who pre-
pared the architectural plans of what the
Towel OF Babel was like. Yearning for
something definite as to this mystery of
nature, however, the French Government
mas nominated scientific commission to
study the celebrated whirlpool to investi-
gate Its suggested connections with the
Gulf Stream and to rectify existing charts
OF Its currents, says the Philadelphia
Record
All the poetry of Scandinavia centers
around the terrible gulf which expresses
IN more positive age. The whirlpool is
IN the vicinity of the widest rock-bound
coast OF Norway, the black cliffs of which
have been called "the ramparts of the
world" Still, there are times when the
pool is so calm that small boat can sail
across Its presumed mouth. No ship has
ever been sucked down-mariners know
the currents by their charts-save that de-
scrlbed by Edgar Allan Poe, so full of
"creepiness," and where the vessel is con-
verted into match-wood. OF It's crew one
alone was rescued, youth of %, who, after
some corkscrew tossing in the funnel, was
thrown up on beach some miles away, his
hair having become as white as snow and
he himself a wizened old man.
During periods of storm the Maelstrom
is said to resemble funnel, the water
whirling inside ring of foam but the eye
can see the descending liquid wall to be all
let-black water. Trunks of trees have
been thrown up so split that the natives
say they have become "mermaids' hair"
vi course there are legends of whales
having been drawn into the great mill race,
and that their cries have been heard above
the storm.
What will accrue to science from the re-
suit OF the French commission is naturally
impossible to predict. AS was evidenced
by the late expedition of a Frenchman to
the depths of the Red Sea to recover traces
OF Pharaoh's lost hosts, the Gauls of
to-day have decided fondness for peering
into matters the investigation of which
seems to be contrary to the DEGREES of both
time and nature.
But an outside observer might p1ausibly
allege that a descent into volcano to as
certain whence came the fiery scoria, as
well as observations as to the effect of the
elected molten lava upon the circumiacent
air, would be quite as easy and of equal
advantage to the world of science as the
proposed effort to fathom the mysteries OF
the Maelstrom. The fascination for div
ing into the unknown is, however, so great
that as long as mysteries shall exist some
body will be found to spend valuable time,
valuable life and valuable means upon
their solution.

TAMPA, FLA, June 1.-THE following
proclamation has just been received from
Cuba:
To the Cuban People: Maxine Gomez is in
command with 1000 men. The Marquis of
Santa Lucia, with the cry of "Cuba Libre,"
has Joined him with 1900 men. Twenty of the
most noted gentlemen of Puerto Principe &C

There is no hope for Spain. Remidos has
protected the landing of Roloff and his $50
men. He brings munitions of war and 1000
pounds of dynamite. Santo Spirula has already
seven armed bands General Maceo, with 5000
machetros, is destroying and burning every
thing which he finds in his way. The liberal
Spaniards have nothing to fear. Their lives
and property will be respected while assist

The autonomist party says an instruction in
arms is necessary to force the Government te
favor autonomy.
Shame to those false patriots who live on
miserable bread that despot throws them.
The soldiers from Mahon, Spanish province

Cuban advices received here are to the

Government.
Colonel Figuerdo, responding to an in
quiry to-day about Jose Marti, said:
81 have been seriously considering the
unfortunate news for the past two weeks.
The persistency of the Spanish alarmed
me at first, and now, in the absence of
news from Havana, feel convinced that
Marti has died for the country he loved so
well. The revolution will go on Just the
same. While we have lost good man the
cause still exists, and the fight will be
pushed vigorously. Tomas Estrada Palma
of New York will undoubtedly be chosen
to fill Marti's place, and will do it ably"

The United States Esctre,aety An1ious to
Prevent Complications.
WASHINGTON. D. c., June 14.-Attor-
ney-General Harmon has received the fol-
lowing letter from the Secretary of State
in relation to filibustering expeditions
against Cuba:
1t is matter OF current rumor and newspa-
per report that at various points in the United
States attempts are making by enlistment of
men, equipment and arming OF vessels and by
other illegal measures to aid the instruction
now In progress in the island of Cuba
While this department has not been furnished
with tangible evidence confrmatory of such
rurors and reports, it deems it of great impor-
tance that no opportunity shall be given for
complaints that the Government of the United
States has in any respect fallen short OF its full
duty to friendly nation. 1t is respectfully
suggested that the United States Attorneys
and Marshals for the several districts embrac.
ing the coast line between New York and
Brownsville have their attention called to this
question: and be specially enjoined to see to it
that the neutrality laws of the United States
are faithfully observed and all violations
thereof promptly and vigorously prosecuted.
Complying with Mr.. Olney's suggestion,
Attorney General Harmon has directed all
United States Attorneys and Marshals of
the Atlantic Coast lines to act in commune
ton, and to take the steps necessary and
proper to prevent any violations of the
neutrality laws, acting promptly and Wig
orously.

evening for Key West. She will patrol the

Provisions of the Act Introduced In the
House of Commons.
LONDON, Eng, June 1.-THE Bering
Sea bill, which was introduced in the
House of Commons on Monday last by Sir
Edward Gray, Parliamentary Secretary for
the Foreign Office, and which passed it's
first reading upon that occasion, replaces
the act of 1898, which expires in
July, and will enable the Govern
ment to carry out it's agreement with
Russia. 1t empowers the Government by
order in council to prohibit seal catching.
The act remains in force until January,
1898. In addition to the Boring Sea
award. in regard to the seizure, it empow-
ers the officers of foreign states which are
parties to the agreement to seize British
ships and equipment when they violate
the order. British officers have the same
powers in regard to foreign ships.
An impression prevails here that Canada
will vigorously oppose the passage of the
new act.

Archbishop Langevin was asked to-day
for his opinion on Manitoba's reply to the

answer:

themselves the monopoly of knowledge. I

VIENNA, AUSTRIA, June 4.-Seventy
people gathered in the death chamber of a
young man in Rovogno, seaport town of
Austria on the west shore of the Adriatic.
The flooring of the chamber collapsed and
all fell to the ground floor and then into a
deep cellar, the walls of the house falling
on top of the unfortunate victims.
All the inhabitants of the town came
to the spot and the fire brigade was called
out, all the soldiers in the town rushing to
the scene. All tried to remove the debris.
This was done and revealed the fact that
fourteen of the mourners had been killed
and thirty wounded. The unhappy young
woman who had been the fance of the de-
ceased young man was found dead in the
ruins in a position close to the coffin.
