Percy Edward, which sailed from this
port some two months ago for the Sol
ONION islands with party of 100 men
who expected to find an Adamless Eden
to colonize, have been received to the
effect that the expedition has collapsed

many OF the colonists left the vessel
and sought employment on shore, ana
the remainder resolved to take the brig
to New Zealand, where she Is to be sold
at auction and the proceeds are to be
divided.
About six months ago the San Fran
cisco papers published a wonderful
story about a certain island where its
inhabitants-all women-were pining for
mates. The island was reputed to be a
veritable paradise on earth, land OF
milk and honey. 1t was stated that the
! women natives would give lands and
riches to such as would care to share

| of willing men was sailing to this novel

New York, June 14-Among the pas
sengers who landed in New York Sat-

II. w. Danforth Of Milwaukee, Wis,
who for the past fifteen months has
been the personal physician of the presi-
dent Of the Cuban republic, Salvador
Cisneros the Marquis Of Santa Lucia.
The doctor is in the United States on six
months leave of absence, having left
Cuba i'm a 161foot open boat on May
20 for the island OF New Providence.
After much suffering and exposure
he reached Nassau, and there awaited
the arrival Of the Valencia. According
to Spanish reports, President Cisneros
died last February. He is not only not
dead, but when Dr. Danforth left him
he was full of quiet enthusiasm and AMI
mated by the most confident feeling for
the eventual success of the Cuban cause.
Questioned as to the seat of the govern
ment Of the Cuban republic DIR. Dan
forth said it was at Agura, province OF
| Puerto Principe, where the insurgents
have erected a capitol. The president is
is not now at Agura, however, but is in
the province of SantiaeY de Cuba.
Dr. Danforth was asked to express his
| opinion as to the numerical strength OF
| the Cuban insurgents, being Informed
| that late advices from Cuba placed the
| number at 5000 men. He said: 1T Il
difficult, if not impossible, to arrive al
a correct estimate. But. you can say
! that the Cubans for a certainty have al
least $4,000 to $4,000 today armed and
