With View to Aiding Italy British
Forces Are Ordered to March
at Once.

ROME, ITALY, March 1.-THE Govern
ment has sent dispatch to General Bald
issera, commanding the Italian forces in
Africa, stating that no discussion is possi-
bic on the peace proposals of King Mem
elk.
The Socialist Deputies De Felice, Bar.
bstto and Bosco were liberated to-day un-
der the amnesty granted by the King.
They will appear in the Chamber on Tues
day. De Felice was elected in the Second
District of Catania and the Fourth Dis
trict of Rome. DR.. Barbetto in the Fifth
District of Milan and Bosco in the Fourth
District of Palermo.
Dispatches from Massowah say King
Menelik reviewed his troops in the pres
ence of Major Salsa, who went to the
Abyssinian camp to obtain permission to
bury the bodies of the Italians killed i'll
the battle of Adowa. In the review 100000
well-armed Abyssinian troops marched
past in good order. King Menelik showed
Major Salsa his stores of ammunition and
provisions.
The Tribuna says that the proposals of
the Abyssinian King Menelik for peace
with Italy include demand that King
Hum bert send him an autograph letter re-
questing peace and agreeing to the imme-
diate evacuation of Adigrat by the
Italians. Menelik, the paper says, further
insists upon the withdrawal of Italy's
forces to the frontiers fixed in the treaty
concluded by Ucciah and an agreement on
the part of Italy to refrain from erecting
new fortresses and to decline all offers of
an alliance with an outside colony. Meme

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 14.-At mid
night it was whispered about that the
steamer Bermuda, which failed in getting
away with Cuban ihbustering expedition
a short time ago, was to make another at
tempt to steal away from her anchorage
during the night or early Sunday morning.
Groups OF dark-complexioned men were
seen vending their way toward large
boat located at Pier A, North River, and a
boatman was said to be waiting to take
them out to the Bermuda, which lies about
two miles south of Liberty Island.
The lighter Stranahan, which had on
board the arms and ammunition which it
unsuccessfully attempted to place on board
the Bermuda when that vessel was seized
by the United States authorities recently,
was said to have been engaged to-day in
transferring her cargo to the steamer. 1t
was also said that late tonight the Ber-
muda had full head of steam on and was
ready to slip out of che harbor at any mo-
ment.

So many conflicting statements as to this
years sugar crop in Cuba have been pub
lished either at the instance of the Span
ish Government or other interested par
ties, it is we'll that the facts should be
known. 1t is now the middle of the grind
ing season and in the great sugar-produc-
ing provinces of :Matanzas and Havana
not one estate is grinding. In Santa Clara
province, which is next to Havana in
quantity of output, one estate, Constancia,
alone is grinding. In Pinar del Rio none
are grinding. In the eastern district the
estates-Union, San Luis, San Sebastian
and Santa Ana, near Santiago de CuDas
and two or three others near Manzanillo
and Guantanamo are grinding under great
difficulties.
In Havana province the Toledo estate
has firished, grinding. No others dare
begin. The same is true in Matanzas. The
wet season will soon. be on. Estates have
been ordered by General Weyler to grind. 1t
is impossible for them to comply. Here is
what has been accomplished up to March
l.: Total number of tons exported, 76,076;
amount consumed in two months, 8400;
amount on hand, all ports, .55,4S9; total,
139, ,965; less old stock. 86,667; total new
crop to March 1, 3S, 1888; same time last
year, Bic, ,326.
The foregoing statistics are furnished by
Joaquin Guma, the sugar expert OF
Havana: Estimating the amount of sugar
at the mills held back by interference by
transportation at 10000 tons-a liberal
fgure-the total amount of new crop to
March becomes 63, 298 tons. If the Sec
ond half of the grinding season does as
we'll as the first the total yield for Cuba
| for 1896 will be 126, 596 tons. Last year the
crop was estimated at 100000 tons. The
| probable shortage this year will therefore
be $4,000 tons, or over 81 per cent of g
normal crop.
What is true of the sugar crop is practi
cally true of the tobacco, as will be Sc
| later. j. FRANK CLARK.

Plans and Significance of tho Anglo.

Egyptian Expedition.
LONDON, Eng, March 14.-It is the
opinion in highly informed military cir
cles that the objective poinr of the Anglo
Egyptian expedition, mention of which
was made in these dispatches this week, 8
not Dongola, but Berber. The Govern
ment is interested in minimizing the i'm
pcrtance of the enterprise and it will
doubtless. when explaining the matter to
the House of Commons, speak of the ex-
pedition as an Egyptian one arising from
the necessity of checking the projected ad-
vance of the Mahdists into Egypt.
The object of the expedition is not the
projection of Egypt, but is to make di-
version in favor of the Italians at Kassala.
This seems to be the best possible line of
action to assist Italy without drawing
upon the British treasury, while at the
same time it will shelve indefinitely the
demands for the British evacuation of
Egypt. The main cost of the expedition
will fall upon the Egyptian treasury,
which is now in a condition to bear
financial strain. The financial report
shows for 1895 a revenue of s1 ,0Ss, 900 in
excess of the expenditures. This is q most

A quaint newspaper correspondence has
arisen over the refusal of Lansdowne, the
Secretary of State for War, to countenance
the project of raising cavalry regiment
composed entirely of gentlemen. !. The
scheme was originated by Evelyn Stewart,
vino was impressed by the fact that large
proportion of the English gentry did not
know enough to pass examination and get
commissions In the army and yet had the
muscle and predatory instincts which
make good soldiers. He got committee
together, sent ont a circular and got 537
applicants, all vouched for. as gentlemen,
but the War Office callously refused to
hear of it. He appeals to the papers now
for an expression of public opinion, and
to-day one of the Rugby masters says that
everybody who has to do with the public
school must have seen numbers of young
men who are in tastes and physique just
what the army wants and who yet have
not brains enough to enter Sandhurst. He
is very hot for the scheme, and 80 are 9TH
ers who write. 1t is said that all the ap-
plicants accepted the stipulation that they
would ask for no privileges or pay more
than ordinary troopers and would
serve contentedly as privates ON the only
condition that they would be kept together
and kept select. Altogether it is an enter
esting commentary on the English social
existence. My only surprise is that the
projectors while they were about it linn
tied their scheme to mere paltry regi-
ment and did not suggest at once whole
army corps. 1t surely could not have
been for lack of material.

and Maceo, who were in the province OF
Matanzas, separated, Gomez remaining in
the vicinity of Jovellanos, while Maceo
moved west. The Government troups
directed attention to Maceo, who showed a
tendency to retreat toward Havana.
The columns commanded by Generals
Bernal and Pratt, Colonels Vicuna and
IncIan, Tort and Molina and the Almanac
battalion formed a combination to encircle
Maceo and prevent his entrance to Havana
province,
The official announcement was made at
the palace Thursday of the combination OF
the seven columns. The result was anx.
iously waited. Yesterday the Government
announced that Maceo declined an engage
ment and entered Havana province. From
other sources it is learned Maceo discov-
cred the combination and with Lacret and
Bandera, the forces numbering over TO- 600
fell upon the Almanac battalion, which
happened to be raw one recently arrived
from Spain. broke it to pieces, rode over
the remains and crossed the Havana line
leaving the Government, combination in
the rear.
Maceo passed south of Guinez and struck
the railroad north of Batabano, removed
the track and telegraph wires and caused
CONSERVATION in the block houses along
the strong line.
: In the vicinity of Pozo Redondo he
burned two bridges, and was last reported
going in the direction of the Pinar del Rio
line.
General Weyler is very angry over the
failure OF the columns to prevent Maceo' s
return, and especially since he had Just
proclaimed the province free of insurgents.
The Government troops are now being
rushed west in pursuit OF Maceo, and the
strong line is again being strengthened.

Inc story tnat the halSerS mal1OrmeQ
left arm has been diagnosed by the Roent-
gen process, and that surgeons by this
help will now be able to restore its useful
ness, is very pretty, but will hardly hold
water. The limb in question has no bones
worth talking of. and it is incredible that
auy structural operation can bring vigor
into a member which has been withered
and lifeless for thirty years.
1t is not surprising that it has already
occurred to the Partisan press wits to call
the young cousin of the Orleanist pre-
tender who has just been decorated with
the Legion of Honor Henri Egalite. For
over a century the royal house of France
has always contained a cadet branch which
played the part of demagogic treason
against its dynastic head. Up to 1883 five
generations of Orleans princes had con-
spired against their family chief, with
regicide and usurpation as incidents in q
sustained career of intriguing and faith
lessness. Now that the Orleanist family
by process of exhaustion represents all
that is left of the French Bourbons, it de-
yelops out of its own vitals it's malignant
parasite and foe. Prince Henri is two
years older than his cousin, the Due
d'Orleans, and has been pursuing this
game of personal advertisement ever since
