nIarshaI de Campos Ready to Assume the
Responsibility.

LONDON, March IA dispatch to The
Standard from Madrid says that Marshal
Martinez de Campos, who was given the
title of 'Paciticndor de Cuba lowing to his
successful efforts some years ago to restore
tranquility in the island, has returned to
Madrid from Paris, where he had been Wis.,
tting. He has had several interviews with
Infanta Isabella, Prime Minister Sagusta,
tbe minister of war and the minister of the
colonies, and has promised to accept the
command in Cuba Whenever he shall be
appointed to 1t. 1t is probable that he will
be appointed at once.
Marshal de Cainpos was appointed to the
governor generalship OF Cuba in 1876, and
Ut was due to him that the insurrection
shat broke out In 1858, and lasted ten
gears, was brought to an end. Upon the
expiration of his term of office he returned
10 Spain, and has since taken prominent
part in national affairs, notably in the
Melillu affairs.
General Calleja, captain general of
Cuba, has sent u dispatch to the govern
ment, asking that the rcinforcements for
She troops In the island be sent direct to
Santiago de Cuba, equipped and ready to
take the field Tho war office is hurrying

strength $4,000 Candle Power.
NEW YORK, March IA most successful
test was made last evening of tho new
weather signals constructed by the weather
b,trenu in the tower OF the Manhattan
Life Insurance companys new building,
Mt 68 Broadway.
Sergeant Elias B. Dunn the local fore
caster, and several othors, including re.
rorters, made their way up spiral staircase
from the seventeenth to the twenty fourth
floor, where the signal lights are situated
In an octagon tower. The signals are
placed 1884 feet above tho level of tho sea.
The lights, which were specially con
structed for the bureau, have combined
strength of 81, 900 candle power. The red
signal consists of ten arc lamps, each of
1000 candle power. The white signal,
which is placed twelve feet above the red,
Is made up of six arc lamps, each Of 1000
candle power.
Sergeant Dunn had men stationed at
Newark, Rutherford, Long Island City,
Brooklyn and Hobokcn, who will report
their observation of the signals
''These signals" said Sergeant Dunn,
''will indicate approaching winds, and
will not be used AS ruin or snow signals
Tho red light alone indicates eastcrly
winds and hurricanes, the white light
frosty morning, and rcd and white high
westerly winds; flash light with green
shade will indicate cold wave.
"a revolving searchlight will bo con-
structed on tho railing about the balcony.
This light was tested on the tower on cleo
tion night, and was plainly seen at Asbnry
Park. N. j. When we get everything in
shape no mariner can leave port without
seeing our signals"
The tower, which is the highest inhnb-
liable in the world, will be occupied by the
weather bureau next week
After the signals had by'en lighted half
an hour, trip TO Brooklyn was suggested
At the Battery and along lower Broadway
groups of people had formed aud We're
watching the color changing lights. The
party boarded one of the Hamilton ferry
boats, and there obtained better view of
tho signals. Sergeant Dunn expressed
himself as delighted with the success of
the lights.
"There is nothing like them in the
world, y he said "rhcy can be seen nearly
fifty miles away"
