NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-There was a rumor
about the lower part Of town to-day to the
effect that another Cuban filibustering ex-
petition is being planned and that the name
OF the steamship to be used is the Volusia.
Captain Higgins The Volusia is a coast
wise steamship plying regularly between
this port and Baltimore: Her agents are
II. c. Foster & Co.. OF the New York and

fact that the Volusia to-day cleared, through

At the office OF Foster & Co. II was said
that the Volusia had been leased for one
trip to Jamaica. after which she would

been chartered for one trip from New York

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8.-The subcommit-

on the text OF the Cuban resolution that

tomorrow. The terms OF the resolution can

Democrats OF the committee have not yet
shown their hands. Unless the resolution is
acceptable to the administration IL Is be-
lieved they will oppose its adoption.

intention to offer the following amendment
to the resolution on Cuba presented by the

Trial Of Fflibusters.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. &.-The taking Of
testimony was concluded in the United States
Court this afternoon In the trial OF Captain
Wiborg and mates Johansen and Petersen.
of the Danish steamship Horsa. charged
with carrying an armed military expedition
to the Cuban insurgents last November. Cap
tain Wiborg was the only witness for the de-
tense, and when he was about TO take the
stand Captain Ker, of counsel for the de-
Tense. made a sensation. He asked the court
to clear the room during Wiborg's testimony.
and to request the newspapers not to publish
IL, because any person who heard IL could
make affidavit Of the testimony 10 the Span
ish government. which would cause the for
fixture OF Wiborg's life IL he ever again set
foot on Spanish soil. Judge Butler replied
that he was aware Of this, but he could make
no such order. Captain Wiborgs only de-
tense was that he acted under orders from
the steamship company which employed him.
He admitted having suspected the purpose OF
the expedition. and boldly declared that. had
he known it positively. he would have taken
IL just the same. The technical defense Is
that this was not an armed expedition under
the meaning OF the law. Argument will be
concluded tomorrow.

Amateur Photography.

ct was generally thought two or
three years ago, remarks the Syracuse
Post, that amateur photography would
die out, as has many another craze, but
the reverse has been the case. Although
there is not the fuss made over it that
there formerly was, more people have
yielded to its destinations during the
last year than ever before. " 1t Is doubt
less true that photography is not the fad
today that it once was. The kodak tiend
is not so commonly seen as was the case
a few years ago, and OF course the BIZ
cycle must bear the burden Of the cam
era's loss of popularity. Nevertheless
there is something so fascinating about
photography that it is hardly probable
that it viii ever die out untilsome new
and better way of reproducing the face
of nature Is discovered. Those persons
who adopted the camera just because
their neighbors did have given it up, as
might have been expected. These same
people will eventually grow tired Of the
bicycle or Of anything else. Novelty is
what they seek, and rs soon as the new
ness wears OF the thing mas no further
attractions But for persons who have a
taste thas way photography IS ever a
novelty. There is always some new
process to tly, some new experiment to
make, aud the real enthusiast never
wearies of his camera The amateurs
are largely responsible for the great
progress made in photography, and it is
fact that until the amateur entered
the field the professionals knew only the
rudiments Of their art. The real camera
