GALVESTON, Feb. 10. Yesterday the
News contained O. lengthy dispatch,
under Dallas date, telling of a monster
expedition that was said to be about to
leave Texas for Guba. consisting of 300
armed men and ammunition. And now
another Cuban expedition has de-
veloped. In his rounds yesterday, a
News reporter came across Andres
Sacresco, a representative of the Gu
ban government who is in this city,
the guest of a well-known laboring
man, who asks that his name be with
held.
Mr.. Sacresco tells very interesting
story. He claims that up to a short
time ago he was in Cuba as clerk of
the government office. He claims to
be an agent of the Cuban government
and is here to enlist brigade of Texas
cowboys. They are all good horsemen,
trained marksmen and of dauntless
courage. caring nothing for danger
and valuing the success of the cause in
which they are engaged more than
their lives, he said.
He has half the number required,
and all funds to pay expenses, and ex-
poets to land the frontiersman in Cuba
within two weeks.

SHE LOVES THE FRENCH. ].
That Il Why Queen Victoria Is So Pepua
lar In France.

The great popularity enjoyed by
Queen Victoria in France is due not
/ only to her tVorld-recognizcd virtues,
both as an exemplary sovereign and an
exemplary woman, but also to the
knowledge of her extreme fondness for
the French nation and French people
generally, says the New York Journal
One of the secrets of the queeni
great personal influence in European
politics-an influence ever used on the
side of peace and good willis her
equal attachment to the two great con
tinental nations which have so Ions
been rivals. 90
believe we shall know some day
better than we know now how niue
her majesty has done to bring about l.
better understanding between Frame,
and Germany, and so to promote tht
peace of the world. ~
Some idea of the burden of officia
work that falls upon the queen may b.
gathered from the statement that il
the course of last year her majest.
mastered the contents of no fewer thai
twenty-eight thousand dispatches
In these democratic days we are
accustomed to keep uppermost in o1
minds the social side of the sovereigu
duties that we are apt to forget he
heavy is her share in the actual Wci
of government.
Though her ministers are, of cours
responsible, no official act of their
valid without her assent, which is nev
given without thorough and cons
entious examination of the question
hand.
But, in addition to her majesty
heavy state duties, there is the emo
nous private correspondence which IA,
vast and widely-spread family cir,
renders necessary and which she ma:
tains with the most scrupulous and u
falling regularity.
There are probably few women
seventy-six who get through tithe
the work daily performed by the ind
fatigable queen.

the effect that he sent an envoy to one
of the powers and made every effort TO
call the favorable attention of Europe
to the situation in Crete, but with the
exception of the mixed gendarmes and
the so-called reforms. nothing had re-
suited. Continuing. the king said:
MY patience became exhausted and
decided to annex the island of Crete,
which body and soul is Greek. This
decision, perhaps, provoked the powers
to additional coercive measures against
me, but the whole of Hellenism is with
me. l have ordered my army not to
abandon the island under any circum-

| At 4:45 P. NJ. the insurgents from Ak

garrison at Halepa, the joint fleet bonn
barded the Cretans for % minutes.
The insurgents fed, taking their flag
with them.
Later reports are to the effect that

bombardment. The others followed.

shells. The commander of the Greek
man-of-war Hydra cleared for action in
case the necessity should arise. Some

When firing ceased. the Greek flag
was still flying over the insurgent
camp.
LONDON, Feb. PA dispatch to the
Daily News from Canea, dated Sunday,
says:
Smart firing was heard today in the
hills to the eastward. The reply of the
Turks was feeble, and it was obvious
that they must abandon their position
if pressed. The gun practice from the
redoubt on the outer lines was ludi-
crous. The chief Cretan position was q
hamlet on a ridge of hills 1000 yards
from the flagship.
At 4:30 this afternoon signals were
made to H. M. S. Dryad, H. M. S.
Sparries and H NJ. S. Revenge, to-
gether with one Italian, one German
and one Russian ship, to open fire upon
the Cretan position where the Greek
flag was hoisted some days ago. The
British ships fired 40 and the foreign
ships 30 shells at the village, and ruin
ed the house held by the Cretans. The
flag was soon lowered, and the order
''cease firing" sounded after ten min
utes. Thereupon, the flag was re-
hoisted. The rocks around were
crowded with Cretans. The Turks,
encouraged by the fleet, now opened
lively fusilade, while the Ctetans were
removing the wounded The Cretans
had not replied during the whole per-
formance. 1t was somewhat melan-
choly spectacle.
