New York, March 10.-A Herald spec
ial from Apalachicola, Fla, says:
Cuban filibustering news has some
what simmered down. A private de-
tective was again seen in town, and
he appeared to be very active. His ap-
pearance assures every one that the
departure of the Cuban party last
night for upriver points has somewhat
changed the order of things, though
government officials are said to be posi-
tive in the belief that the location of
the arms intended for the party is
known. The officials, it is said, are
only waiting for a movement on the
part of the filibusters.
Every vessel entering the port is be-
ing searched by the United States au-
thorities, while the steam launch of the
Marblehead, with a HotchkiSS rapid
fire gun upon her bow, is securing
every nook and corner of the bay. The
Marblehead is doing police duty in the
gulf, patrolling between Cape San Bias
and South Cape.
1t Is said that the government au-
thorities know whereof they speak
when they say that the tug Monarch
did not leave Pensacola for Cuba,
neither did the Three Friends leave
Miami with arms and ammunition.
CAPTAIN Lewis. the commander of the
Three Friends. told friend Monday
night that the party of Cubans brought
here was intended as bluff, in his
opinion.
News came yesterday from what ap-
pears 70 be a reliable source that the
Cuban party will embark on a vessel
at ST Joseph, % miles from Apalachi-
cola The Cubans received a telegram

Some Explanations Made.

London, March 1O.-The Daily News
tomorrow will publish dispatch from
Canea saying that the British, French
and italian admirals landed on that
island and held conference with the
insurgent leaders at Akrotiri They
expressed regret that they allowed the

the conflict.
In the course of the interview, the
dispatch adds, the Cretans stated that
they had not received the admiraPs
warning previous to the bombardment

aware also of the promise of autonomy
for Crete or the offer of the surgeons,

Premier's Remarks Were Received
With Loud Cheers, the Speech
Throughout Being Devoid of Any
Exposition of Party FEELING
France Getting Interested in the
Standardization Dockyard La
borers Put to Work.

London, March 10.-At the dinner of
the associated chamber of commerce,
which was held here this evening,
Lord Salisbury delivered an address,
in which he referred briefly to the
crisis which had been reached in the
affairs of Greece over the Cretan
question.
His lordship said it must be remem-
bered that the British government
could not be guided in their policy by
personal sympathies or religious pro-
clivities and sentiments. They were
the trustees of a great nations inter-
ests and obligations which they were
bound to maintain above everything
else. If they manfully did their duty
under the circumstances it would pro-
mote, as no other course of conduct
could do, freedom and justice and,
above all, European peace, upon which
all commerce, industry and well being
must depend.
The premier's remarks were received
with loud cheers.
The speech throughout was devoid of
any exposition of party feeling.

NAV be Embarrassing.

Washington. March 1O.-During the
executive session of the senate today
attention was called to the fact that
1t having agreed to adjourn until II 80
O'Clock next Monday, an embarrassing
condition of affairs would result should
any nominations be sent to the senate
on that day. Mr.. Mckinley had called
an extraordinary session of the Fifty
fifth congress to convene March Is at
noon. The present session of the SEN
ate will end at noon on that day. Any
nominations sent in would, therefore,
have to be acted upon within the half
hour the body would be in session, or
they would fail and the president
would have TO send them in again dur
ing the regular session. To obviate
such a condition of affairs, it was
agreed that the best thing to do was to
adjourn sine die and this was done.
The senate was this morning advised
that there would be no important nom
nations before next week.
The Alaskan boundary treaty was re-
ported from the committee.
