CARS SUSPENDED IN AIR.
Novel Construction of an Electric
Railway Over a River.

From the Philadelphia Record
The oft proposed scheme of an electric
aerial railway, by which the passengers
could be shot through the air at a high
rate of speed in a car suspended on an
elevated framework, is at last to be real
lied in German road between EIberfeld
and Barmen. OF all electric roads vet built
or building this is certainly the most
unique, SURPRISING the impractical "am-
phibous' line at Brighton and the Roynton
monorail system at LongpDrt Elevated
electric lines have become quite common
during the past three years but the idea
or suspendin2 the car from an overhead
framework, instead of allowing IT to run
upon 1t. is startlingly radical and a con-
struction not calculated to inspire courage
In the hearts Of timid travellers despite the
fact that 1t is claimed to be quite as safe
as the ordinary method Of running cars on
elevated systems
Were it not for the feet that this system
Is now being constructed by well-known
German firm. and that the road is already
wen under way toward completion. one
might look askance at so revolutioufztng a
method of rapid transit, which is only once
removed from flying
Local circumstances are such, however,
that the only available route for the road
was over the bed of the River Wupper a
connecting link between the two towns
AT nrSt 1t was suggested that single pillars
'e erected III the center OF the stream and
an elevated platform be erected thereon
upon which to lay tracks. This however,
would have resulted In obstructing the
river channel, and was not feasible, owing
to tides and heights of bridges etc. Finally
the suspended aerial system was adopted.
Each car seats from fifty to sixty people
and is reached by means of iron statrways
leading up to platform. These cars are
hung from two rails, the aXies of the
wheels being supported on movable trun-
mons. which permits Of rapid propulsion
and yet ease in taking curves. The selec-
ton of electricity as the motive power is a
foregone conclusion, as no other form of
power is so well adapted to the peculiar re-
Quirements imposed by this very novel con-
struction, feEibility of operation, ease Of
control and absence of flying dirt all being
of Importance to the successful operation
of the system. Twenty-Five miles an bour
is the contemplated speed. Every possible
precaution has been taken to provide auto
matte devices so that, SHOULD the car be-
come disabled, no serious accidents would
follow.
Double-tracked throughout its length, the
cost Hill run well up into the millions and
the unfamiliarity of the work renders
progress very slow, so that it will be some
onths before anything definite concerning
the practicability of the scheme is known.

SHY OF WINDSTORMS.
Tactics That Birds Pursue to Escape
Impending Danger.
Irrorin fhn Trnn


The power of they winds is dreaded by al
most all ordinary birds, and an instructive
knowledge seems to be possessed by them
that If they once surrender to the force of
the winds unknown dangers Will have to be
faced. Consequently when a high storm
prevails, all birds seek shelter of some
kind The strong winged sea birds are the
last to take fright at the approaching hur-
ricane but even they win finally try to
escape its fury beneath the shelter of some
cliff or sand dune. During tremendous
wind storms birds may sometimes be seen
flying overhead at n great altitude. When
this phenomenon iS observed 1t may be
taken for granted that the upper atmos-
phere Is comparatively quiet, and that the
disturbance Is confined chiefly to the lower
regions. Many sea birds seek the upper air
Of common quietness during tropical hurrl-
canes
When a heavy wind or gale springs up
the gulls, terms and petrels will fly back
and forth over the waters surface, rising
and falling, and uttering their peculiar cries
of warning. If the storm extends too high
up they will drift gradually with the wind
or hy away to the edge of the hurricane.
Very often they get caught Unexpectedly
in the gales of wind, and they find them
selves in a dangerous position. Then they
struggle with might and main against the
powers or the air currents. Knowing that
danger and death face them If they once
come under the dominion of the wind, they
use all the strength and tactics they are
capable of to combat the elements. A
young herring gull, petrol or tern thus
surprised will beat up against the wind
with powerful flight. 1t will rise high in
the air, facing the gale. and making little
progress forward as well as upward. Then
1T will suddenly descend with rapid flight
toward one side of the storm swept path,
but falling off at the same time in the tirec-
ton of the blowing wind. Once more it
will sweep around and face the storm. as
cending heavenward, and striking des-
parately out toward the direction of the
storm. By pursuing these tactics the bird
will gradually work itself to cne side of the
storm center.

FOR BIG E,1aoPEAN SQUADRON.
Uncle am Will Soon Be Well Repre-
scented in Foreign Waters.

The naval officials are considering the
formation of Il big squadron to be sta
toned in European waters after the war
is over. The intention is to reform the
European squadron, but to make it much
stronger than ever before. Just before
the war began all the American warships
were withdrawn from foreign stations
except the Asiatic for service in the West
Indies, and since hen the officials have
not had time to bother about arranging
for a resumption of naval representation
in alien waters. In late years the Euro
pean station has dwindled in Importance
to the United States, until only three
ships, none armored, were kept there.
With the end Of the wal believed to be
near, however, the navy officials have be-
gun to talk over the character of the new
European squadron and have practically
reached the conclusion that a strong and
formidable force should be sent there, not
because of any likelihood of trouble with
European nations, but to show the people
over there the ships that whipped Spain's
navy

their lives for their country were forced
to live or die.
Before reaching Fort Monroe three had
died and this fact was reported to the
quarantine doctor early Thursday morn
ing. That official could do nothing with
out hearing from Washington, and he
went ashore after examining the ship to
telegraph the authorities. No answer was
received. The dead lay on the second
deck, with the living lying around them,
until Friday afternoon, when the captain
went to sea and buried them in the waves.
That evening another death occurred and
another sea burial. Meanwhile some sup
plies had been ordered and when the Con-
cho started for New York she carried a
few necessary supplies for the sick. Even
then the vessel left under Government or
ders before opportunity had been given
for the purchase of many necessaries.

ties are that the Asiatic squadron will be
greatly increased in the number and char
acter of ships. When the Spanish Gov
eminent has complied with the terms of
the United States concerning the evacua-
ton of Cuba and Porto Rico, there will
be no necessity of keeping SO large a fleet
in West Indian waters. The sending of
re-enforcements to Dewey will begin as
soon as vessels have been cleaned and
o%verhauled at New York, Norfolk and
Port Royal. The cruiser Newark and the
battleships Massachusetts, and Oregon are
likely to be the selections for service on
the Asiatic station, forming, with the YES
sells now at Manila, a powerful fleet of
four armorclads and seven other fighting
ships, not including supply and dispatch
boats and the Spanish gunboats picked up
by Dewey in the Philippines.

Horrible Treatment of Sick Soldiers
On Their Voyage to New York.
New York special:
There are man. bright pictures in the
present war, and some, unfortunately,
that can create no other feeling than that
of stern condemnation. OF the latter class
is the incident Of the transport Concho,
which reached New York with 172 in
valids from Siboney, Cuba. The misery
which these unfortunate men endured
during the voyage is almost incredible.
Before the vessel sailed from Siboney
III sick and wounded had been shipped
aboard and it never occurred to any one
to find out what accommodations there
were for that number. Hardly had the
vessel got to sea before the men began to
suffer with seasickness and fevers of va
rious kinds. Dysentery, diarrhoea and
other diseases also broke out and the
vessel was q pest ship from the first day.
Within twenty-four hours all the ice had
been used up. There was no fresh water,
the water in the storage tanks being near
ly putrid, and there was not sufficient dis
tilling apparatus. There was not ever
food for the sick to eat, the vessel having
been supplied with army r%ations, some
thing which even we'll men do not greatly
relish. There was also q lack of sur
geons and nurses to care for the sick and
almost no medicine to administer.
From the first the men suffered horri-
bly,. They lay in hunks between the
decks, in a heavy atmosphere that was
almost intolerable. Some had no blan-
kets and none had mattresses. Their COM
partments after the first days sickness
were reeking with filth and the odor was
enough to sicken a healthy man. Mem
bers Of the Red Cross Society endeavor-
ed to clean the hunks, but the former
were so few and the latter so many that
on the second round the condition was as
bad as on the first, and while the nurses
were thus engaged there was no one to
minister to the sick and suffering. There
was not even a disinfectant On board eX-
cept Il few ounces of creOlin and in this
foul atmosphere the men who had risked

they will be ready for a fall campaign.
From present appearances there will not
be one, but in either event the army
should be moved.
1t had been intended for som time that
the Santiago troops should be withdrawn
as soon as the yellow fever should be
stamped out, the Wal Department believ-
ing that the disease could be overcome
without too great cost of life. Steps had
been taken for the immediate movement
of a part of the troops, an order having
been prepared directing that all Of the
cavalry forces at Santiago, and all of
those at Tampa, except the Fifth regu-
lars and the First Ohio volunteers, be
moved to Montauk Point without delay.
The council of leading officers of the
War and Navy Departments held at the
White House was called to consider the
withdrawal of all the military forces in
Santiago as promptly as possible, in the
light of the revelations made by Col.
Roosevelt and the other officers. 1t was
decided after some discussion that the
Santiago troops should be transported to
Montauk Point with as little delay as pos
sible.
In accordance with Secretary Ayers
order Gen. Skaters corps, numbering
81. 900 men, exclusive of the 1000 suffer
ing from fever. who will have to remain
in Cuba until they are convalescent, will
be moved to Montauk Point as soon as
transportation can be secured, and until
the evacuation by the Spanish will permit
of a reduction in the garrison of Santiago.
The camps at Montauk Point are in read
mess for occupation.
When Skaters army has evacuated
the province Santiago will be turned over
TO the First and Second United States
volunteer infantry regiments immunes),
commanded by Coils. Roche and Hood.
The Third and Fifth immune regiments,
Col. p. II. Ray and Col. Herbert Sar-
Seant, nave also been ordered to Santiago,
and will soon depart. Two other immune
regiments yet to be selected will be or
dered to embark in a few days. -Four
more immune regiments are in process of
organization, and will be sent to Santiago
if those now under orders prove made
quate in maintaining a garrison at the
provincial capital now under control of
Americans.
In Secretary Ayers order the fact is
mentioned that Skaters army will re-
main at Montauk Point until fall, and
will then be used in the campaign against
Havana. This confuses persons not ia
miliar with army affairs, but military Off
Gals explain that this phase of the order
was compiled in accordance with the orig
inal plans Of campaign. in which no
change will be made until peace is de-
clared.

Treacherous Spanish Sympathizers
Caught in Gomez's Camp.
News has been received in Washington
that our Spaniards have been executed in
the camp of Gen. Maxine Gomez, after
a court-martial, for poisoning the water
in several c~isterns in the village of La
Reforma, and that several others sup
posed to be in the conspiracy have been
turned over to the Cuban civil authorities
in that part of the island, to be given Il
civil trial. Several families were made
seriously i'll from drinking the water, and
a number of deaths are reported. The
men executed were ''presentados," who
had deserted from the Spanish camp and
entered the Cuban lines, ostensibly to join
their army.

Proposed Expedition to Porto Rico
Has Been PostDoned.

According to the present understand
ing there will be a suspension for the
present of the proposed expedition to
Porto Rico under the command of Maj.
Gen. Wade" This statement was made
by an official at the War Department.
Gen. Corbin denied that any such order
had been issued in writing, but it was said
by others that a verbal order thus under
stood had been repeated to officials in
charge of some of the departments. One
reason given was that the removal of the
sick from Santiago was the first object
now. Another reason stated was that the
peace negotiations might render unneces-
sary a second Porto Rican expedition.

FALLING SICK BY HUNDREDS.
Delay in Transporting Prisoner!
Causes Embarrassment.

The delay in transporting the Spanish
prisoners from Santiago to Spain is en-
barrassing the War Department in many
ways, as it interferes with the carrying
out of plans in regard to our W troops
and involves the Government in increas-
ing daily expense. The contract for trans
porting the Spanish prisoners was award
ed to the Compania Trans-Atlantique Es-
pamela, but at the end of two weeks not a
prisoner had been embarked for the voy-
age to Spain. The contract provided that
several Of the ships be delivered at San
tiago within five days. Meanwhile, the
prisoners nave to be fed at great expense
to the Government. They are falling sick
by hundreds.
