Hats In War.

The bearskin hats of some British
regiments were at first devised with
the idea of striking terror into the
hearts of their enemies. The same
principle is shown in the dreadful
figures worn by the knights on their
helmets and sometimes emblazoned
on their shields. The ancient Ger.
mans wore horned helmets to in
spire terror in the enemy and car
ried figures of strange animals as
standards.

Year after year and century after

first recorded eruption of Vesuvius
was in 70 A. D., when Pompeii and
Heroulaneum were overwhelmed.
Between the first and sixth centuries
nine eruptions are recorded, and
since that epoch there have been As
great ones.
The last destructive eruption was
on April &c, 1872, when abe Tut so

showers of porous lava have filled in

which, from it's bold outlines, has
greatly changed the appearance of
the summit and is still changing it
slightly every day. Formerly tho
volcano, as seen from Naples, had q
rounded top, but now it comes to o
wedge point.
A year ago visitors looked into tho
hollow of the old and somewhat
cooled off crater. Of late they have
gone inside tho boundaries of the
old crater to got a good look at tho

There was, indeed, a general be-

LONDON, March 27.-A Pretoria dis
patch to the Times says:
"The situation is serious. President
Kruger has concluded new offensive
and defensive alliance with the Orange
Free State. President Steyn of the Or
ange Free State and the executive coun-
Gil strongly advise President Kruger
not to go to England. The Transvaal
wants it's independence guaranteed by

of the Transvaal, who has been here
for some time, has used the secret ser
vice money largely to encourage immi-

'The Free State and Afrikanderbund
have offered to support the Beers"
An editorial in the Times, comment
ing on the gravity Of the foregoing
facts, says:
Which facts emenate from trust

true it indicates powerful coalition
against England. The arming of the
Beers can have but one aim. England
however, will do nothing by way of
guarantee or otherwise to give any

HAVANA, March 21 via Key West,
Fla, March 21.)-The Government has
suffered severe losses at Candelaria and
Cayajabos, in Pinar del Rio, and it's at
tempt to check the westward march of
Maceo completely failed. Wednesday
Colonel Francis with column of 1,200
troops fought Maceo amid the ruins of
Cayajabos. Maceo used cannon.
The details of the encounter are diff
f1cult to obtain. The Government sent
out a special ambulance train and eight
train loads of troops for the relief of the
columns of Francis, Inclan and Linares,
which were badly routed.
Colonel Francis was brought here Sc
verely wounded. Information from a
reliable source says four captains and
seven lieutenants are dead. The total
loss Of the Spaniards in killed, wounded
and missing is over 200. The rebels are
said to have captured over a thousand
rifles.
General Weyler is nearly distracted
between the failure of military opera
tions on one hand and the horrors be-
ing committed on the other. The report
is insisted on that he will soon resign
or. be recalled. 1t is admitted on all
sides that Weyler has proved failure.

Son of Lobengula Attempts to Gain
Lost Power.
CAPETOWN, March 28.-Latest ad-
vices from Buluwayo state that the son
of he late King of Lobengula, who was
banished from Matabeleland last year.
has returned and placed himself at the
head of the insurgent Matabeles. The
latter have in some manner obtained
possession of many rifles and a stock of
ammunition, which, although not be-
lieved to be large, is sufficient to en-
able the natives to make a very much
more effective fight than they did two
years ago. Dispatches have been re-
ceived from BuIuwayo during the day
asking that more arms and ammunition
be hurried forward, as, though there
are plenty of volunteers, there are not
sufficient weapons to arm them. Scouts
who have returned to Salisbury and
Buluwayo report that the natives are
gathering nlarge bodies at different
parts, and are herding together all the
cattle available. They are being eX-
cited by the medicine men, and strong
force will have to be employed TO re-
store order.
Men are arming for the defence and
for active operations against the rebels.
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes is expected to arrive
at Uwayo today, and will assume con-
troll of the repressive measures. Bust
ness throughout Matabeleland is COM
pletely paralyzed and will remain so
until the revolution is crushed. Rein
forcements of mounted police are being
drafted to Buluwayo and Salisbury, and
additional Maxim guns are being for
warded to both points.

KILLED THEIR OWN MEN.

Spanish Columns Open Fire on Each
Other by Mistake.
HAVANA, March 24.-Another ter
rible mistake, attended with loss of life
and many soldiers being wounded, has
taken place. In some manner uneX
planned two columns of Spanish troops
opened fire upon each other at midday.
According to the few details received
here, a column of troops commanded by
Gen. Godoy and Col. Holguan, at Santa
Rosa plantation, near Esperanza, prov
ince of Santa Clara, mutually mistOok
each other for insurgents, owing to the
thickness of the sugar cane. Each de-
tachment opened fire upon the other,
and for ten minutes shots were eX
changed, resulting in the killing of
seventeen soldiers, among them being
Lieutenant Colonel Nuenmayer of the
Navas battalion. In addition, five Of
fcers and eighty-four soldiers were
wounded. Two of the latter have since
died and six others are mortally hurt,
thirty-tWo seriously. Lieutenant Colo
mel Nuenmayer died while leading his
troops on, shouting, Long live Spain!'
Owing to the fact that the meeting of
the two columns took place at midday,
the explanation furnished by the Span
ish commander is considered unsatis-
factory. A court martial will follow.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The first
reference to the adjournment of Con-

depend upon the condition of the ap-

The adoption of resolution allowing

ROME, April 25.-In the Senate to-
day Baron Blanc, ex-Minster of For
eign Affairs, affirmed that the alliance
between Great Britain and Italy was
an accomplished fact. The overtures
for peace, which had been made with a
view to the eventual evacuation of Kas-
sala, Baron Blanc said, had determined
the authorities upon public, definite
manifestation of alliance, which was
founded upon more solid basis than
protocols, namely, community for de-
fensive interests. This community
would henceforth be extended to the
security of Italy as maritime power,
and the Mediterranean power of Italy
would now become an effective bond be-
tween Great Britain and the Driebund.
Signor Simonetti, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, concurred in Baron Blanc's
statement. He created somewhat of a
sensation by declaring that if the DON
COLA expedition was aimed at the re-
conquering of the Soudan, Italy must.
if the conquest be effected, and if Great
Britain so desires, restore Kassala.
Advices received from Massowah are
that General Baldissera, commander in
chief of the Italian forces in Abyssinia
has started from Asmyra with strong
force The object of the expedition is,
if possible, to liberate the Italian garri-
son at Adigrat.
