THE DUASIs EXPEDITION.

IL the latest reports regarding the dis
aster TO the Dhanis expedition are TO be
credited. a bloody page In recent Afri-
can history has repeated itself. These
reports. which are TO the effect that the
900 men composing the Dhanis column
have been massacred, recall wildly the
humiliation of the army Of Hicks Pasha.
in 1852.
The Dhanis expedition, like the Hicks
Pasha expedition. was movement
against the Mahdists. the former going
no from the Congo Free State towards
the headwaters Of the Nile and the lat
ter advancing up the White Nile from
Um-Durman, opposite khartum. The
Hicks Pasha column was an Anglo
Egyptian punitive expedition undis-
gused. and the Dhanls movement. it has
been asserted, represented a semi-ali-
ance between Great Britain and Bel
GUM, and was intended 10 cooperate
covertly with the present Anglo Egyptian
Nile expedition until the time should be
ripe for throwing off the mask.
That such an alliance existed has
been repeatedly denied by the British
authorities, but these denials have been
pretty generally taken cum grano sails
Whether, however. there was an Anglo
Belgian understanding. or not. the an
utilization OF the Dhanls force. II ii has
been annihila ted. is a serious matter 10
the British. seeing that ii will inspire the
Mahdists 10 make a more determined
and fanatlcal resistance to the Anglo
Egyptian Nile expedition than they
would make otherwise.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Yesterday evening about o'clock we
had here several clouds with local snow
ers. During one Of these showers
/ observed that from some twenty feet
from the earth upward the atmosphere
was filled with a beautiful snowstorm
These snownakes, some of which reached
within ten feet Of the earth. melted
as n rule, about twenty feet up in the
air. l was in my office in my yard
when this rather strange phenomenon for
June appeared. ! Immediately called out
30 some OF my family. who were sitting
in the house porch. too look at the snow.
and the strange sight was seen by the
whole household.
! recolect some fifteen years ago
was in the lower part Of Caroline travel

month Of August. when a shower, coming
quickly up. ! sought shelter under n
tree and witnessed a like phenomenon. /
then spoke of the strange occurrence,
but / believe my veraclty suffered con-
siderab'y for telling 1t. and very many
jokes at the expense of my sobriety were
gotten off on me by friends 10

WAS uALsTEAD GULLED,

The New York Herald, through an ar
ticle in Ia France. telegraphod to the
Herald further dscrcdits the optimistic
view OF the Cuban question taken by
Murat Halstead and which our New York
contemporary printed several days ago.
Mr.. Halstead. It will be remembered
contendod that the war in Cuba would
soon end and that. too. with the grant
ing Of Cuban independence, the main
tcnance OF Spanish honor. and practically
without the firing of another gun, tho
faith that was IN him being based princi-
pally on the news he said had
been received from Madrid that the
French Rothschilds had notified Spain
that they would not lend her any more
money after July 1st.
Considering the expenses attendant
upon the Cuban war and the revolt in the
philippines, the terrible financial drain
that has been upon the Spanish people,
the activity of Carlist aeitators on the
Peninsula, and the party turmoil at
Madrid. IL seemed a reasonable conclusion
that II Mr.. Halstead's news was true.
out in Cuba. But it seems that the news
IS not true, According TO La France,
denial was given 10 IL. both al the Spanish
Embassy in Paris and at the Offices OF
the Rothschilds. Furthermore, 1t Is
stated that the Cuban expedition" while
costing very dear, has never exceeded In
financial demand the war credit Of the
government.
La France also states that al the Paris
offices OF the Rothschilds its representa-
tive received an intimation that the story
OF withdrawal of financial support from
Spain was the invention Of Spanish
revolutionary party in New York. These
revolutionists, II is said, hope, thanks to
the Cuban war, TO see arise in Spain
trouble by which they would profit.
Mr.. Halstead's dissertation was well
conceived and well worked out and was
calculated 10 AFFORD great comfort to the
friends of Cuba. But. in view Of the fact
that La Frances article follows upon
denial of Mr.. Halstead's Madrid story
made upon high authority. in the Herald
of Friday, we are reluctantly forced to
entertain the suspicion that he has been
"eulled." At the same time, 1t is be-
yond question that Spain cannot con-
tinue 10 borrow money indefinitely. There
must be a limit to the willingness Of the
French Rothschilds TO take risks. and II
Spanish arms in Cuba are no more sue
cessful In the near future than they have
been In the past, IL amounts TO GER
tainty that the Cuban problem must he
settled on some such basis as Mr.. Hal
stead outlined, or on a basis that will
make the settlement worse for the mother
country.
