Athens, March I6.-Crown Prince
Constantine, with the First regiment OF
infantry, is momentarily expected to
leave Athens to assume command of all
the Greek forces in Thessalia.
The prevailing conviction here is that
war is inevitable.
1t Is understood that the cabinet at its
meeting today discussed plan of cam
paign against the Turks.
The whole garrison of Athens and
nearly all the reserves have started for
the frontier.
The departure during the night of
number of troops for Volo, Thessaly,
was undoubtedly owning to the govern
ment receiving information regarding
the blockade.

RUBBER TEETH NOW.
A New York Dentist Has Invented
New Process.

A New York Dentist Has Invented o
New Process.
An entirely new thing in teeth has
been invented which places artificial
masticators within the reach OF the
masses. says the New York World.
The inventor and manufacturer is q
well-knOwn New York dentist, who
says that his new process win enable
him TO make complete sets Of excel
lent teeth for $3.50 or 81 and still reap
a satisfactory profit The invention is
a departure from anything heretofors>
introduced in modern dentistry. 1t
consists Of a complete artificial set OF
teeth made entirely of rubber, the base
or plate and the teeth being formed
integrally. In their manufacture an
ingenious method is employed which.
not only insures a correct formation
OF the artificial masticators, whereby
they are made to closely resemble ma
lures product, but also simplifes the
process Of what is called Setting the
teeth up" A hollow, flexible metallic
matrix, which both internally and ex-
ternally reproduces the formation OF
the natural teeth, is made. which when
hlled with rubber and Tulcanized pro-
duces a perfectly formed set OF teeth.
One Of the greatest obstacles to be over
come was the shading of the rubber
teeth, but this the inventor has accom-
plished by means of chemicaI-bleach-
Ing process Another but less salts
factory process of shading is by the ad-
mixture Of different colored rubbers.
From a sanitary standpoint the,rubber
teeth are perfect, there being no joints,
Is in all other forms Of artificial den-
lures in which the secretions of the
mouth may find lodgment. A more ex-
'ensive form Of the new teeth is that
n which the mastieating surfaces are
apped with continuous metallic fac
ng. which renders the denture practi-
ally indestruetible and unbreakable.
iold. silver, platinum and aluminium
ave been used for making crowns.
me OF the greatest advantages OF the
ubber teeth, aside from their cheap
ess. is their extreme hghtness. They
Teigh less than half as much as any

CABINET CONSIDERS CUBA
Opinion in the Dauntless
Case to be Rendered.
The Attorney General Resting on His
Oar Until He can Clean Additional
Evidence in the Premises.

Washington, March I6.-The fiiibus-
tering operations between this country
and Cuba occupied the attention of the
cabinet today. Attorney General Nc
Kenna gave his views of permitting fill
clustering steamers to clear for Cuban
ports with arms and munitions of war.
general discussion followed his re-
marks. The encouragement has de-
cided not to render an opinion in the
case of the steamer Dauntless, until he
can obtain additional facts relating to
the application of her owners to clear
from Jacksonville with arms and am
munition. Under ordinary circum-
stances, the application would be grant
ed without question; but the fact that
the Dauntless or any other vessel would
be obliged to clear for some Cuban port
held by the Spanish, put new phase on
the matter. The cargo could not be
landed there, and the vessel would be
seized. This would make 1t necessary
for vessel to attempt to land the cargo
at some point along the coast, and in
order to deliver the arms and ammuni-
ton to the insurgents, an armed force
would be recessary. The knowledge of
this arises the question whether the
men necessary to carry out the plans
made for a flibustering vessel would
not constitute an armed expedition,
clear violation of the law. The attor-
ney-general will have to decide whether
the force likely to be taken on the
Dauntless is an armed expedition within
the meaning of the law.
Permission was given the stes mer
Commodore to clear for a Cuban port
with arms and munitions of war, but
the vessel was wrecked before reaching
the Cuban coast.

a Gruesome Bohemian Church.

In the centre of the arched roof of
All Saints church. Sedlec. in Bohemia.
hangs a chandelier constructed entire
ly of human bones. The church in
which this remarkable object is sus-
pended is decorated from the floor to
tie ceiling with the blanched bones of
human bodies. Garlands of bones
stretch across the walls and hang from
the ceiling. Pyramids, topped with
golden crowns, are artistically reared
from the ground with these whitened
remains of the dead The affairs are
literally covered with skulls, among
which are hundreds of those which
had been pierced by bullets or crushed
by murderous blows from swords and
other weapons. denoting that these
grim relics of humanity have been
gathered from adjacent battlefelds.
Tradition says that these piles of
human bones were gathered by a blind
friar of the Cistercian Order. who
stored them in corner Of the church.
As they were fast changing into their
original elements, a man named Rint
devoted himself to the task of cleaning
and arranging them in the church.
Prince Carl of Schwarzenberg took a /
strong personal interest in the restora- !
ton and arrangement Of the church. /
and ordered all the repairs to be done
at his own expense. A large number
of tourists visit this extraordinary
church every year.

Stories of rescue by the steamers en-

order came a practical woman. He
had never ceased to thank his lucky
stars that he could be classed among
the high-grade elect and he devoutly
hoped that when he married his wife

1t was a great shock to him to learn
that Miss Pearson was lodged several
degrees below that exalted niche. He
didn't know it till the day he proposed
to her. She poised her tapering fore
finger lightly against her right temple
as he spoke-it was a way she had OF

serious-and looked at him with
steadfastness that thrilled him with
apprehension for his future happiness.

He was really frightened then. The

her past life that he recoiled in horror

Wounded by a Pistoi Bullet
in m nUeI

VIENNA, AUSTRIA, Sept. 25.-A pistol
duel was fought this morning between
Count Badeni, the Austrian Premier, and
DR.. Wolff the German Nationalist leader,
arising from insults addressed by the
latter to the Premier during yesterdays s
session of the Unterhaus. Count Badeni
was wounded in the right hand.
DR.. Wolff fought a duel with swords on
May s last with Herr Horisa, Czech
member of the Unterhaus. This encoun-
ter grew out of toe violent scenes which
occurred in the House between the Ger
mans and Czechs, in which personalities
were freely indulg d in.
Count Badeni was formerly Governor of
Galicla. He is young and able Pole, and
was very little known, even in Aus tria,
until he was unexpectedly called upon to
form a cabinet in Septem Der, 1895. when
he assumed the duties of president of the
Council OF Ministers and Minister of the
Interior. His nobility only dates back to
his father. His mothers brother, Count

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 25.-A special
to the Herald from La Libertad says: The
city OF Chiquimula, where President
Reyna Barrios is at present, has been be-
sieged by General Domingo Vasquez, with
force of 1000 insurgents, to prevent his
fight.
Reports were circulated some time ago
that Barrios might attempt to leave
Guatemala, and ii is believed now he is
only awaitin a favorable opportunity.
1t IS stated here on what seems 20 be
high authority that the recent attempt to
assassinate President Porfrio Diaz of
Mexico was tue result of a conspiracy
hatcned in Guatemala.
It seems, according to this authority,
that Armajo Arroyo who attacked Presi-
dent Diaz in the street. although tailor
in the City of Mexico was in reality act
ing under orders from an anarchistie or
qanizatlon in Guatemala.
ReIia BILE figures as to the strength of the
revolutionary forces in Guatemala are as
follows: Men under arms, 6342; generals,
including General jose SaIazar, who has
lust ioined the revolutionary movement
80; colonels, los; lieutenant-colonels, 240.
The rebels nave fifteen pieces of heavy ar
tilIery, eighteen Hotchkiss guns and
10. 600 modern rifles.
Former President Barillas of Guatemala
has offered his services to Barrios and
given 300 armed men from his estates. He
50 contributed money, Barrios is now
trying TO form new cabinet as follows:
Minister of War, Gregorio solares;
Minister OF Education, Mariana Cruz;
Minister OF Public Works, Feliciano

Populace.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 25.-It was
under the lead dership of Daniel Fuentes
that troops killed Juan Aparicio Jr. at
QueZaltenango, or at least President Bar
rios in a telegram sent here so states. The
first report of the death was received here
some days ago, and last evening brought
cablegrams from Mazatlan, via Mexico,
giving full confirmation together with g
few details.
By these reports from friends of the
Aparicio family it appears that when the
insurgents were before Quezaltenango
Rogue Morales, Chief OF Police, acting
under superior orders, arrested a large
number of leading citizens as hostages
and threatsned to shoot them if tie insur-
gents fired on the town.
Money was extorted from Aparicio be-
fore he was finally arrested, along with
others. His wife rode out from the city to
San Marcos to prevent an attack, but her
efforts did not avail. Fuentes ordered an
attack, and ultimately captured the city
Morales as he retired ordered the execu-
ton OF nine prisoners. a lieutenant who
carried the orders was, according to latest
dispatches, lynched and torn to pieces by
the enraged popuIace.
1t was the cutting of the telegraph wires
that delayed the sending OF the news for
so many days. In answer TO a cablegram
sent 10 President Barrios by Manuel
Aparicio on Thursday last, this reply was
received;

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 25.-A special
from La Libertad, Salvador, says: There

although the revolution has been quelled

preston.
a severe and rigid censorship is main
tanned over the telegraph and mails
Private and business letter, of natives

The general opinion in Nicaragua is
that a more formid able attempt will be
made to overthrow the Government "a
soon as President Zelayas' new ministry
is ms allied. This new ministry is as fol-
lows:
Minister of War apd Marine, Erasmo
Calderon; Minister OF The Interior, Manuel
c. Matus; Minister OF Public Works, Jose
Antonio Rolero; Minister OF Finance, En-
rique G. Lopez.
This is Zelayas' account of the revolu-
tionary attempt: "On the 18th INST,

NADIA arose in arms against the constituted
authorities. put owing to the efficient
support rendered by the people of the
republic and the activity and energy dis

effect that the Costa Rican Consul in
Nicaragua, Don Eduardo Beechr, has

belief is conflict between the two coun-
