Sail from Florida.

Col Shepard Young, well-known Bos-
ton military man, in an interview divulged
the details of secret Cuban expedition
which left Boston May % and picked up
several recruits in New York. He has
received a cipher telegram from Jackson
vile, conveying the news that the expedl-
ton had sailed from that city on fast,
light draft steamer, 115 strong, armed
with rifles of army pattern. All have seen
service in the militia. A movement has
been started to organize a sanitary COM
mission to supply stores. Col. Young says:
Il conducted the drills in hall in Bos-
ton, put them through in fancy tactics,
cavalry tactics and artillery tactics. Every
man could load and fire cannon, no mat
ter what the size, and swing saber or
use bayonet. Not soldier left Boston
until he was drilled sufficiently to take
charge of regiment. The tactics were
taught in this city mostly at night. We
got word from New York that spy had
been sent to Boston. We didn't see him.
The troops practiced with the machete
also. That is used mostly for front cut.
The machete is heavier than saber, and
the welding of one is hard work, but the
men soon learned to use it with skill"

Consul Stern Reports ON Workings or
System in Germany.
Some valuable statistics relative to the
growth in Germany of the workingmen,
insurance system have been received at
the State Department from United States
Consul Stern at Bamberg. These socle-
ties insure against sickness, accident and
old age, and in the opinion of the Consul
have had a beneficial influence upon the
economical and social position of the Ger
man working classes. He says that in
country like Germany, where low wages
allow but small fraction of the labor1ng
classes to put by something for rainy
day, a great deal has been accomplished
by this system, which, he hopes, may be
extended to other countries. In ten years,
from 1885 to 1895, claims to the amount
of $296,O15,S 1924 have been paid to 20
O61, 500 persons, and $25O,OOO per day is
disbursed in such benefits.

RETRIEVE FOR DURRANT.

Governor Rudd Fixes the New Date
of Execution as July 8.
Theodore Durrant, San Francisco, the
murderer osslBlanche Lamont, has been
reprieved. Gov. Budd decided upon this
course in order to settle the question Of
the rights of the Federal courts to inter-
fere in the execution of a sentence i'm
posed by the State court. He has named
July 9 as the day upon which the sentence
shall lie carried out. The object Of the
reprieve, as the Attorney General ex-
planned, is to avoid the necessity Of the
resentencing the convicted man. If the
position taken by the Governor be sup
ported by the State Supreme Court the
sentence will be carried out ON July 8,
just as it would have been June II but
for the habeas corpus proceedings.
