FILIBUsTERs TAKE FLIGHT.
An Expedition Slips Away From Sea
Isle City UnmOIested

Philadelphia, Pa. April pa carefully
planned expedition left for Cuba last
night from near Sea Isle City, N. ]. The
supply of arms and ammunition left New
York on Saturday on lighters and was
placed on a tug between Barnegat and
Long Branch. The tug came steadily
down the coast and was soon Joined by
another boat.
Off Atlantic City some Cubans and
Americans were picked up. Still further
along a steam launch put out from Sea
Isle City with another detachment, and
later on another squad was gotten from
Avalon. Getting out to sea all hands,
with the munitions of war, were trans
ferred to a black painted steamer that
quickly started south. There was none
of the recognized Cuban leaders with The
expedition, because nearly all of them are
already out Of the country. There We're.
however, some militiamen from this city
and from Camden.
In the way of munitions the expedition
took along a Hitchkiss gun, nearly 5000
rifles, 10000 rounds of ammunition, 1000
machetes, a lot of medicine and what is
known as an experimental flying machine
to be adapted, if possible, to the use of
the dynamite.
So carefully were the movements con-
Quoted that the point and the time of de-
parture were concealed from some of those
who haev heretofore known all similar de-
tails.

LOT the Greek warshlps TO return to pro-
tect Nolo. Two thousand five hundred
sendarmes and engineers were leaving
Athens Saturday for Volo.
A special dispatch from Salonica saws
that Edhem Pasha, the Turkish command
er IN Thessaly, will probably attack the
port OF Nolo, which Is crowded with panic
stricken refugees from Tyruavos and La
rissa.
The Graphics Larissa correspondent
says that on Thursday Gen. Maceis, vir-
tual commander-in-chief of the Greek
army in Thessaly, resigned He will be sue
ceeded by Gen. Mavromchaelis.
The Greek government has decided, &C
cording to special dispatch from Athens,
that If the Greeks are defeated at Phar-
sala the army is to retire to Thermopylae
and there make a final stand
The Greek government has demanded
of the directors of the Thessalian rail-
roads that they continue the service OF
the Nolo-Larissa railroad. If the drec-
tors refuse the government will occupy
the line with troops. Three steamers
have been sent from Athens to Volo to
bring away the women and children, who
have sought refuge there. In official
circles here it is not believed that VoIo
is In danger at present and the Greek
heet is relied upon to protect the port
in case of necessity.

round English, the prayers and hymns
they have received from their instructors.
Nevertheless. both the Shans and Karens
another tribe of Upper Burmah--are by
nature given to a belief in witchcraft; the
harens especially believe that every hui
man action is controlled by some demon
spirit, though in their case the way was
prepared for conversion to Christianity by
tradition long forming a portion of their
creed, that a great white queen would
some day come to rule over them, whom
they were 70 follow in all things. The
tuhllment of this prediction seeming to
the karens to have taken place in the
suzerainty of Queen Victoria, it is not
strange that people of that race form a
large proportion of the converts in Bur
nah. The Karens are also the only peo-
pie In Burmah whom il has been sought
to utilize as soldiers. The little fellows
present very much the appearance of
Ghoorkhas. though they scarcely, / ina
sine, can be regarded as possessing any
thing like the same lighting capacities.
The Chins have been from 1888 to 1894
the object of frequent expeditions, involv-
ing some sharp lighting. They live in the
hill districts which fringe the western
border of Upper Burma, and have pro-
vided the military police with plenty of
occupation since the subjugation of the
territory was decided upon. This work
mas at length been entirely accomplished,
and the chiefs have made their submission
In due form. The Chins, though exhibiting
great dlversities of language and appear
ance, are all members of the great Kuki
race. They have no written tongue, and
the inhabitants of one village cannot I'M
derstand the speech of the neighboring
hamlet. There is yet among them all the
same respect of ancient ancestry and
knowledge of pedigree, together with many
other characteristics which mark them as
springing from a common source. OF the
various clans, the Haka more nearly APP
proaches the European idea of manhood.
The Styin is the most treacherous and I'M
comely; he accounts it greater deed to
Kill the woman, and the child at her
breast, than to slay man in fair fight,
under the belief that any circumstances
constitute two heads as a greater trophy
of valor than one. He is, Moreover thief
and liar which attributes, however, he
shares with the remainder of his brethren.
The fashions, again, possess the most dip
lomatic talents of the different tribes. All
these clans, like the Highlanders elsewhere,
are distinguished by the wearing of diff
ferent tartans: each tribe has it's respect
i've plaid, by which it can he at once de-
cided whether a man be Haka, fashion
or representative Of some other tribe The
Chins, in fact. possess many interesting
characteristics and though at present sunk
in drunkenness and degradation, have in
them the elements of useful citizenship.

WEIGHING AN ENGINE,
Curious Test Recently Applied to n
Famous Locomotive.
From the Albany Express.

from the Albany Express.
A peculiar scientific experiment has been
made with the famous engine SO OF the
New York Central railroad, at the shops
at West Albany. Some months ago this
large engine, which, in the opinion bf
many well Informed railroad men. excels
even the famous 800. was taken into the
shops and completely overhauled. II was
taken apart completely, and every part
of the engine, from the massive driyine
wheels to the very smallest bolt and nut
was separately weighed. The heavy nor.
tons we're weighed in the shops and the
small parts were taken to WatervIiet sv-
enue pharmacy, where they were weighed
on the pharmacists scales.
ne greatest care was taken by the ma
chiniSts, under the direction of Master Me-
chanic Buchanan, to see that the weigh
ing was accurate. When every part OF the
engine had been weighed a force of the
pest skilled mechanics was put to work
10 reassembie the engine. When it was
complete again IL was put into active
service.
A short time ago the engine was taken
BACK to the shops, and mechanics were
put to work dissecting It again. once
more every part was weighed. The scales
of the pharmacist were brought into ser,,-
ice again. When every portion had hear
weighed the record was compared with
the former one. Then Master Mecharic
Buchanan knew just how much The en-
CINE had lost In weight through the wear
OF known amount of work. The records
or the weights of the separate parts aIso
showed which parts were subjected 10 the
most wear. vac
The test cost many hundreds of doIIars
but the New York Central was wiIlIno, ~
spend the money in order that n ,niobt
be able to know what parts of an eneIne
wear out most quickly and in what ratio
the several parts wear out. The exact &C.
ures nave not been made public There n

RUSSIA AFTER sPOILs.
The Gar to Be Conceded "A Protects
crate over Turkey.


Berlin, April 26.-The Tageblatt an
nounces that a definite agreement has
been reached between Russia and Austria
concerning Turkey. The terms of the
agreement. it is said, are that the sultan
shall renounce Crete; that the car shall
be give ma coaling station at Suda bay
in that island and that in return Russia
shall guarantee the integrity of Turkey
The advantage of this arrangement to
the nations interested is obvious. Russia
in command of one of the most important
ports of Crete. will be greatly strengthen
ed in the line of her coveted advance to-
wards the south. Turkey, with the form
liable power of the white car behind her
will have secured almost beyond possibility
of disaster position from which she can
rule her troublesome subjects without fear
of revolt, encouraged by the hope of for
eign interference. She would more than
willing that Russia should assume such
a sort of protectorate over her empire.
To this agreement France and Germany
will give their consent.
England alone has not made known her
views on this question. In Berlin in
formed quarters, however, IL Is believed
that a very strong protest will be certain
to come from the court of st. James.
Emperor Williams share in the proposed
arrangement has been considerable. When
at Vienna he acted as intermediary be-
tween Russia and Austria. Not the least
of the results of his mediation will be the
approaching trip of Emperor Francis jos
seph of Austria to St. Petersburg. Among
the diplomats this step will have q de-
termlned influence upon the settlement of
the eastern crisis.

in the great strife my people send mes
sengers TO crown this august occasion.
We turn from the setting star of the con-
federacy to accept the glorious flag of the
union, to put it about our hearthstone and

broken people, his name shall be en-
balmed in the hearts of our children and
our children's children with devotion as

cate this monument to his name and fame,
and lift them like incense to the powers

those who come after until they learn to
appreciate his worth.

BILE general expressed in his statement

CAN'T HOLD PHARsALA.
The Greek Army Almost Sure to Fall
Further Back

New York, April pa dispatch to the
Journal from Athens says: Although
Crown Prince. Constantine hopes to as
senble 10000 men at Pharsala, it is GER
tain that he will be unable to give battle
in that vicinity. Instead, he will be forced
to retreat to the Othrys mountains, about
twenty miles nearer Athens. These noun
tains form lower border of ThessaIy, the
northern boundary of which was forced
by Edhem Pasha at Mllouna pass. The
other sides of the basin are formed by the
Pinnette mountains on the west and the
Gulf of VIOLA on the east
Many foreign military experts believe
that eventually the Greek army will give
way to further retreat. 1t is now reported
in this city that the Turks have pillaged
Larissa. Owing to the nature of the
stampede there the news that the Turks
were advancing on the city is doubted
Citizens here fear that many of the UNI
fortunate men have been massacred.
The powers have already exchanged
views on the situation in Thessaly Rus
STA, however. has declared that no kind of
intervention is possible before the Turks
have established their position.
1.-THE loss during the recent fighting
near Larissa is as yet unknown. but is be-
lieved to be very heavy.
Gen. Smolenskis brigade has fallen
back on Cardilza to protect the left wing
of the Greek army
Athens, April 26.-The disposition of the
Greek soldiers for the defense of Phar-
sala has been carefully studied by the
general staff and the minister of war, and
orders have been given for the occupation
of the nights at Velegitino and Pilasletepi
by independent brigades.
