lying bullets. He then had but one
bullet left and, realizing that the posse
was determined to capture him. fired
the shot into his side and rolled down
the bank into the konlopot river

was 10 procure the intercession of st.
lsidro, the patron saint of Madrid, who
lived in the thirteenth century. to
bring about the end of the long

throughout the country and also to
effect the suppression of the Cuban re-
bellion. The remains of the saint, en-

military officials. All carried lighted
tapers aud the scene was most inn

faith in the efficacy of the ceremony.
There were a great number of choris.
ters who chanted litanies as the pro-
cession moved slowly through the
principal streets of the capital.
People Knelt in the Streets.
The route was lined with thousands
of people, who knelt as the remains of
the saint were borne past them. The
houses were decorated in honor of the
occasion, and an enormous quantity of
flowers were thrown from the balconies
into the path of the procession.
Nothing similar to yesterdays cere-
mony has been seen in Madrid since
the seventeenth century. Services will
be held for nine days in the cathedral,

TO AID THE CUBANS.



Philadelphia, May 5.-That another
Cuban filibustering expedition is be
ing, or has just been, fitted out in this
city is now generally believed among
those who are watching the movements
of the friends of the insurgents, and
the report from Atlantic City indicates
that the expedition is now probably on
the way to Cuba. The dispatch stated
that twenty men, none of whom was
known there, were taken on board in
four boats and rowed out to the un-
known steamship, which had stopped
a mile off shore. AS soon as the
strangers were put on board the mys-
terious craft made off with all speed
to the southwest. 1t was learned later
that the strangers placed on board the
vessel were from Philadelphia. The
men carried no baggage. The life.
savers, the dispatch says, believe that the
steamship is one of the boats employed
in the southern fruit trade, which are
being used extensively for iilibustering
purposes. Steamships in regular com
mission rarely come within sight OF
the coast at that point The general
opinion among seafaring men is that
another Cuban expedition has success
fully got away, and that the steamship
already had on board arms and ammu-
