ALGER Is CAUTIOUS.
He Will Not Say Whether Troops Have
Sailed for Cuba or Not.

Washington, June 9.-Secretary Alger
positively declined TO say whether or
not the United States troops had sailed
vet from Tampa for Cuba. He holds
that Notwithstanding the bottling up
of the Spanish squadron in Santiago
there are still good and sufficient rea-
sons why every precaution should be
adopted to prevent the Spanish from
obtaining information as TO the depart
ure of our troops. the point selected for
their debarkation, and the strength Of
the expedition. He was a good deal an
noyed at the attempt of some Of the
newspapers to indicate the very point
selected for landing the troops and
siege guns in the neighborhood of San
tiago de Cuba. If IL were true that the
department had selected place where
there is a strong wharf upon which the
vessels might discharge the heavy siege
train directly the publication of that
fact il authenticated. might very nat
urally lead the Spaniards TO destroy
that particular wharfand thus seriously
hamper the operations of the troops.
Careful inquiry at other places in the
war department where information as
TO the movements of troops might nat
urally be expected developed the fact
that no word had yet come of the de-
parture OF a military expedition from
Tampa. AS the troops are under or
ders to go to sea just as soon as they
can be made ready without further di-
rection from the department, IL is
deemed probable that they will get off
some time during the day and that no
tice to that effect will be the next news
received at the department.

New system of working Coax Mines.


In removing coal from a coal mine
quantity OF the material has to be
left in place as pillars, to support the
roof. A new system of operation per-
mits the removal of these after the
seam is worked to it's full extent. The
waste dust and refuse from the coal
breakers, termed culm, is run into the
mine through pipes. A current OF
water is kept flowing through the pipes
and the culm is mixed Herewith and
is carried to the extreme end of the
workings; by rough walling it is caus-
ed to band UP and I'LL the chamber.
AS fast as this is done the pillars are
removed and quantity CT coal is thus
saved which otherwise wouid have
been abandoned. A six-inch diameter
pipe has been found a good size for the
operation, and a pound of culm is car
ried by from ~ to 21a pounds OF
water. Not only is the mine thus
cheaply filled up, but the culm is dis
posed of, which in itself is often an
important object, if the land in the
vicinity of the mine have any value.
The culm heaps in Western Pennsyl-
vania cover many hundred acres OF
land.

art. Shakespeare undoubtedly was a

rand was famous expert, Count
d'Orsay had personal mountaineering
with nearly every great cook in Europe,
while Brillat Savarin, the most famou

New Smoke Preventer.

The latest smoke preventer and fuel
economizer halls from Austria, and is
the invention of Herr Fritz Maier 1t
is based upon the principle of closed
furnace doors and slow feeding, with
out the admission of air from above
during the stocking. The arrangement
consists of an automatic stoker, which
drops the fuel in small quantities on
the front end of the fire without adj
hitting the air from above. By means
of another automatic arrangement the
fuel is gradually shoveled along the
fire, the apparatus being kept cool by
water This water is used for feeding
the boiler, which it enters at tenn
perature of about 70 degrees Cent. By
these means perfect combustion is said
to be attained. According to report,
the system has been in use for six
months in factory near Vienna, with
a saving of 80 per cent. in fuel and
80 per cent. in labor, one stoker doing
the work of ten.-Machinery Market.
