Telling q Horses Age.

"The popular idea that the age OF
n horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth" said a veterinary surgeon
en- Michigan avenue, sis not entirely cor
rect. After the eighth year the horse
has no more new teeth, SO that the tooth
method is useless for telling the age Of
horse which is more than eight years
old. AS soon as the set of teeth is COM

The Flephant,s Far

The ear of the elephant, like his
eye, is very small in proportion to the
size of the animal, although the flap
of skin which covers it is often of con-
siderable size. The hearing of the
elephant, however, is singularly acute.

Swagger Circle.

CLEVELAND, ONO, March 12.-Chattel
mortgages were filed this afternoon against
Childs, Graft 81 Co., wholesale shoe manu-
facturers, and the junior partner in the
firm, W. II. Huntington, has confessed to
peculations aggregating $4,000. A hasty
examination of the books, however
showed a shortage existing of $1OO, ,OOO
A business statement of the creditors oi
the house was made Tuesday, and it was
til en- noticed that there was discrepancy.
Huntington then astounded his asso.
ciates by confessing that for over twenty
years he had been stealing from the firm,
and that the amount would exceed $40, ,OOO
He stated to them that he had done this
through the bills payable and by carrying
cash balance short.
What has been done with the money is
not known. Huntington says he has
lived it up, but so far as the mem bers oi
the firm had knowledge he did not live in
an extravagant manner, nor did he have
other habits by which he could make way
with so large sum of money so far as is
known.
He has for years enjoyed the entire con-
fidence of the members of the firm and has
served as administrator of the estate oI

detached bands belonging to the forces of
Gomez and Maceo have been reported
around Los Palos, in the province of
Matanzas, near the line of the province of
Havana, and also near Bagaes, in the latter

province of Havana, the rebels lost five
wounded and three prisoners.
The gunboat Lince narrowly escaped
capture by the insurgents at Juan Fernan-
dez on March =. The rebels blocked the
river with chains, made by twisting fence
wire, and preventing the gunboat from get

went to her rescue, and, acting Iii conjunc-
tion with land force, succeeded in break
ing the chains and saving the Lince, to-
gether with her convoy of several schoon-
ers laden with supplies.
One hundred and ten prisoners arrived
from Las Villas yesterday and were sent to
Moro Castle.

ARMS FOE THE CUBANS.
One Expedition That Left Philadelphia
Has SnccessJ,tT.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March 12.-The
vesse! which is said to have left this port
for Cuba a week ago with arms and am
munition is reported to have landed safely
at a small bay in the eastern end of the
island, and within six hours the entire
cargo was placed in the hands of the in
surgent agents. One of the Cuban lead
ers who was instrumental in getting this
vessel away, in speaking of it, said:
$50 far as we have been able to learn
the ship with the munitions OF war arrived
in Cuba on Sunday, and got away all right.
If she had not done so, we certainly would
have had an elaborate report of her seizure
or any other circumstances that would
affect the enterprise.
There were not many men aboard, only
enough TO handle the cargo and look after
it properly. The ship cleared from here
for Jamaica, and, after stopping at Cuba,
sailed Immediately ior Jamaica, from
which place she will come to Philadelphia
with cargo, and be ready again for an
other trip down with arms"
What about last nights expedition?"
"The only thing that | can say is that
the ship used is now on its way south.
but as to who is in command of her or her
name, l cannot say. Besides carrying
thirty-three men, she carried a number of
machine guns, cannon, about million
rounds of ammunition and large guam
tity of improved rifles and machetes. We
have plenty of men down there at present.
What we really do need is arms and money
and these are coming along at fairly
good rate.
SHOULD this ship escape the United
States revenue cutters acting in concert
with the Spanish cruisers and get her load
of war material safely landed it will put
the armies OF Gomez on a remarkably good
fighting basis so far as equipment goes
As to discipline and field and skirmish

Much Anxiety Felt as to the Prob.
abe Fate Of Adigrat's
Defenders.
NOT PREPARED FOR A SIEGE.
Three Thousand DerviShes Are Infest.
ing Kassala, Which Was Taken
Some Time Ago.

ROME, ITALY, March 12.-The news
from Abyssinia becomes more discourage
ing every day. 1t is now said that after
the battle of Adowa only II per cent Of
the Italians engaged in the fight answered
at rollcal. one report says that the
Italians lost 1880 and the Abyssinians
about the same number. The Italians
fought bravely. but were outnumbered by
the Abyssinians.
King Mcnelik's army is now slowly ad-
vancing toward the Italian position. 1t
has reached Entisco, about midway be-
tween Adowa and Adigrat. Communica-
ton with Kassala is still unbroken Much
anxiety is felt as to the fate of Adgrat,
which is very inadequately provisioned for
a siege. The Abyssihians have been greatly
emboldened by their recent successes and
will undoubtedly attack the Italians
whether they remain at Adigrat or T.
tempt to retreat In either case, with the
overwhelming numbers Of the Abyssin-
ians, it can hardly be doubted what the re-
suit would be.
Italia says that the policy OF the Govern
ment will hereafter be strictly on the de-
iensiye in Africa, but it is difficult to see
how this could avert the threatened dis
aster at Adigrat
The people of Italy are not pleased with
the prospect of an Abyssinian campaign.
All over the country men who would be
liable to be called out for military service
are hurrying away. Every railroad train
into France is crowded with fugitiyes.
This stream has kept up for several days,
and there is no siglf of a decrease in the
numbers.
According to the Agenzia d'Italia 5000
Dervishes are investing Kassala, the town
which was captured from them some time
ago by the Italians. General Baratieri,
who was lately superseded in the COM
mand of the Italian forces in A frica, in an
interview at Massowah on his reasons for
attacking the Abyssinians at Adowa, said
that information he had received led him
to believe that it would be easy to occupy
the positions he assaIled. He reckoned
that the force of A by yssnians would retreat.
Instead of doing SO they had inflicted
defeat on the Italian army and he was
ready to submit TO the consequences.
The Tribuna publishes an interview with
General Baratiera, in which he denies that
the Government urged him to attack the
Abyssinians. but he adds that all his gem
erals favored making the attack. A vic
tory for the Italians had been partially
won and was virtually assured, when the
native battalions became panic-stricken
and this produced disorder among the
Italian troops.
General Baratiera declares that he has
nothing to reproach himself for, but con-
fesses that in moment of madness after
his defeat he was on the verge of commit
ting suicide. He remembered, however,
the piety Of his family and wished to spare
them shame and pain.

council was held to-day, at which the
Queen Regent presided. Senor Canovas
del Castillo, Prime Minister, made opi-
mistic comments on the action OF the
American Senate on the Cuban bel
ligerency resolutions. He evidently be-
lieved that the fact that the Senate had
not already agreed to the report OF Its
committee of conference and the COM
mittee of the House of Representatives
means there is good prospect OF the
Senate not accepting the House resolu-
ton. He added, however, that the warlike
preparations would be continued, the
Government being determined to be ready
for any contingency.
The Prime Minister announced that it
was intended to Immediately reopen the
universities that had been closed on ac-
count of the anti-American demonstration
of the students.

UNION IA|L0RS TO STRIKE
Ready to Assist in the Fight of
the Clothing Cutters and
TrimmerS.
In Less Than a Week Nearly 10000
Persons Will Be Out of
Employment.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 12.-All the
union tailors employed in the city will go
on strike tomorrow to assist the clothing
cutters and trimmers who have been strug-
Cling for several weeks to win against their
former employers. The decision of the
tailors was reached by the joint executive
boards of the unions last night. The
tailors have been willing to join the 800
striking cutters and trimmers since the
first day of the strike, but have been kept
from doing so 1t is estimated that there
are 1900 organized tailors here, but when
this number quits work it is believed as
many more will join the ranks of the idle
the first day.
In less than week it is estimated 25,0OO
to 10000 men. women, boys and girls,
whose garment work depends on the
tailors, cutters and trim mers, will be af-
fected by the strike. All the unions held
meetings tonight and ratified the strike
action of the executive board.
The Cutters and Trimmers Union re-
ceived setback to-day when fourteen
members who had been old employers of
Kahn Brothers returned to work The
action of the men was expected by the
strikers.

RIOTS At SAINT kits,
An Account of Disturbances on
the Island From a Consular
Agent.
Cane Plantations Burned and Several
Strikers Killed in One
Skirmish.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12-The
State Department has received from Leo
poid Moore, United States Consular Agent
at Saint Kits, one of the British West In
dia Islands, complete account of the re-
cent disturbance. He says that six weeks
ago the laborers of the sugar estates struck
for higher wages, their pay having been
reduced, and set fire to the canes on the
estates whose proprietors refused to accede
to their demands.
Fortunately H. NJ. S. Cordelia had Just
arrived and a force was landed. After a
skirmish, in which three of the negro riot
ers were killed and several wounded, par
tial order was restored. The value of the
goods taken or destroyed by the mob is es-
timated at $4,000. Several attempts were
made to fire the town, but the marines ex-
tinguished the flames. TIE warship will
remain for the present, as the blacks are
making threats to burn the town and mur-
der the white people at the first opportu-
nifty. The island is now under martial law.
