WHOLE ARMY SLAIN
Baron Dhanis and His Nile Expedi

Baron Dhanis and His Nile Expedt-
tion Massacred by Mahdists.
The Brussels Reforme says 1t learns
from a good source that the entire Dhanis
expedition to the headwaters of the Mule,
including Baron Dhanis himself, has been
massacred. Baron Dhanis last year en-
listed COCO men in the Congo Free State
to take part in a secret expedition. The
British Government allowed a number OF
its hussar troops to join the expedition,
but 1t was officially denied that the Anglo
Belgian movement had been concerted
against the Mahdists. The general inn
preston, however, was that this force
was intended to act in conjunction with
the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up the
Nile and take the Mabdists between two
fires and eventually complete the recon-
quest Of the Soudan. In August last
Baron Dhanis was reported to have ar
rived at Lado, north of the territory OF
the Congo Free State, ON the White Nile,
and some S25 miles north Of Victoria Ny
ANA. 1t was then understood that the
Dhanis expedition would push on north
ward In the direction of KEartoum. Early
In December last 1t was reported that the
expedition had met with disaster and that
Baron Dhanis had been killed. Later 1t
was authoritatively stated that there was
no ground for the report, and that when
last heard from, in September, the Baron
was at Stanley Falls, 600 miles from the
nearest Dervish forces.

DEFEAT OF OUR NAVY.
Dry Docks Needed More than Addt'
tional battle ships.

Dry Docks Needed More than Addt.
tional battle ships.
Congress had better stop building bat
tie ships and begin building dry docks"
was the expression of Representative
Amos Cummings during the debate Mon
day afternoon in the national house on
the proposition to appropriate $1OO,OO0 to
repair the Brooklyn dry dock. Mr.. Cum
mings called attention with startling can
dor to the lamentable weakness OF this
country in facilities for the repair of our
battle ships. He said that whereas in the
single port of Portsmouth, England, there
We're twenty-one stone dry docks into
which English ships could be taken for re-
pairs, the entire equipment of the United
States on the Atlantic coast was one tim
Der dry dock, and that one SO badly out OF
repair that it was useless, and that on the
Pacific coast there was also but single
timber dry dock. Our deficiencies in this
respect are due entirely to difference OF
opinion between cliques of officers in the
Navy Department, whose rivalries extend
into almost every feature Of our naval es-
Enlistment and have so thoroughly de-
moralized the navy as to make 1t laugh
ing stock among nations. One OF these
cliques is in favor of timber dry docks ana
the other in favor of stone dry docks, ana
between the two we have practically nell
ther. In the event of war with any
maritime nation, such as japan or Spain,
the United States would be practically
helpless in its inability to repair war snaps.

A meeting of prominent Cubaus. presid-
I'd over by Delegate Tomas Estrada Pal
ma, was held the other night at the Astor
House, in New York, and was largely
INTENDED by planters, merchants and 9th
ers having property or other interests in
CUBA. The meeting, which was private,
had for it's object the agreement upon
plan for raising within a short time the
necessary funds to carry on decidedly
vigorous campaign against the Spanish
Government in Cuba next winter in case
Hhe absolute independence of the island is
not by that time established. 1t was sug-
gested and approved that in addition to
the usual voluntary monthly contribution
Ito the revolutionary funds an extra sub
scription should be started among Cubans
i'm the United States and abroad for the
purpose of raising a sum of money suff-
cient to purchase and send to the patriot
army within three months all the re
sources which in the ordinary course of
affairs would be shipped to them during
an entire year. The plan, in short, is to
make one great effort to anticipate one
years supplies, so that the Cuban army
may undertake an aggressive policy, in
stead of following the present tactics,
which lack of sufficient supplies compels
IT to observe.

lighted up the city a ball Of white fire
shot across the sky at 1880 o'clock Sun
day night. The flash lasted about one
and three-Quarter minutes. 1t seemed
about the size and shape of barrel, and
bright, stiff flames fiared out from the
sides and followed it, making the streets
as light as day. In the northwest it burn
ed to a bright coal and dropped ON down
to the horizon, after which was heard
sharp. heavy report that rumbled like
distant thunder for fully minute. George
Daisy, who was driving two miles north
west of town, was severely shocked and
his horse was knocked to the ground. Peo-
pie ran out on the streets in excited
crowds. The shock was distinctly felt at

DEED OF ANARCHISTS.
Wild Story that They Caused the Paris
Holocaust of May 4.

Holocaust or May 10
According to a story which has reached
Chicago from Paris via Washington, the
terrible holocaust which wiped out over
100 lives at the French capital May 4 was
the work of anarchists thrsdng for re-
venge on the upper classes of France.
The fire. it will be remembered, was the
result of an explosion in the Palais de
rIndustrie, where hundreds of the Paris
ian fashionables and French nobility
We're gathered to attend great charity
bazar. Dukes and duchesses, barons and
baronesses, counts and countesses-in
fact, the flower of what remains Of the
French empire, met a horrible death in
the burning building. 1t is claimed that,
while the official inquiry into the circum-
stances surrounding the catastrophe
threw little light on the cause Of the FIRE,
the secret service department is working
on clew that points to an anarchistic
conspiracy of stupendous magnitude.
