THE MONEY

to pay for this expedition came from
Cuba a few days ago. In Cuban circles
$4,000 in Spanish gold is the figure named.
A mistake made In the Hawkins expedi-
ton was avoided this time. The men were
sent in small parties to the steamer and
the arms and ammunition in small guam
titles instead of loading in bulk as was
before done.
With the departure of the men from
PHILADELPHIA not more than half of the
Cubans who were formerly employed in
cigar factories in this city remain, over
200 in all having departed for the island
A conference of prominent Cubans was
held here Tuesday night and plans for
future action agreed on. The main object
to be carried out contemplates the send
ing of no more men to the island. Only
enough men will be sent to see that the
material is properly landed. The generals
In command have all the men they need,
in fact more than they can provide for
now. They viii endeayor to send some
heavy guns, as a number of the leaders
are of the opinion that if they can fortify
a seaport the cause of free Cuba will be
in a much better position to demand bel
ligerent rights.

ANoTHER EXPEDITION.
1t is Said to Have Sailed From New
York Last Monday.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1S.-Another
expedition, including about 100 of the
survivors OF the Hawkins expedition,
sailed from New York last Monday. It
was made UP of Cdbans from this city,
New York and Boston. A steamer which
the Cuban leaders here call by the name
of Englewood, hailing from Nova Scotia,
is the vessel. She was leased through a
New York firm of ship brokers and
brought On to Long Island sound, where
she has been lying at anchor for the
past two weeks, She carries to the in
surgents 100000 rounds of cartridges and
ZOO stands of arms.

HIS THEORY.

DR.. Nansen. according to Lieutenant
David L. Brainerd, q. s. A, who &C
companied the Greedy expedition as
subsistence officer. bases his theory of
the current which he relied on to carry
Jim through the Arctic regions on the
fact that the trend of the Jeanette was
generally in the direction Of the pole
and that pieces of drift, ETC., have been
found on the east and west coast Of
Greenland and along the east coast of
Ellesmere and Grinnel land, and from
their appearance and character seem to
indicate that they had drifted from the
Siberian coasts Other articles such
as a large stopper or plug for pow
der horn, coasting stick, a cane, ETC.,
evidently the work of Alaskan Indians
have also been found in the same place.
Therefore the superstition was adj
vanced that they drifted across the
pole down the east coast OF Greenland

there Is the other fact that the brakeless

There can be no doubt that at some
