EXPEDITION STARTED.
Arms, Ammunition ana Food Oh the
Way to the Cuban Insurgents.

Tampa, Fla, May 10.-The steamer
GusSie, one of the Mallory line boats,
chartered by the government for use
us transport, has sailed for Cuba
loaded with arms, ammunition and
supplies furnished by the United
States government tor the use of the
Cuban insurgents \ company of 100
United States troops from the First
regiment of infantry win accompany
THE expedition and aid in guarding
tine landing of the valuable cargo. and
will, ii necessary penetrate into the
interior far enough to place the sup
plies in the hands of the insurgents.
The expedition is in charge Of Cap
tain W. II. Dorst, General Miles aide,
who has just returned from Cuba.
The Gussie has on board between 5000
and 1000 Springfield rites, ABOUT 2OO,-
900 rounds Of ammunition and several
hundred boxes of provisions consist
ing principally of canned meats and
hardtacA.
The utmost secrecy is maintained
regarding the point of landing, but in
view of Captain DUrst's recent land
ing near Havana, where he commune
Gated with the insurgent leader, Gem
eral Delgado, it is believed thar the
expedition will be headed for a point
not far from Havana.
The GuSSe had mounted on her for
ward deck to-day a one-pounder rap
id-fre gun. 1t is understood, how
ever, chat she will be met at some
point not far. from Key West by a gun
boat from the blockading squadron
and escorted to the designated land
ing place.
The Whitney, the sister ship of the
Gussie, which sailed for Dry Tortu-
gas Saturday with two companies of
the Fifth infantry, returned yester-
day. 1t is intimated that she will fol-
low the Gussie to Cuba as soon as
the arms, ammunition and supplies
can he loaded. Before a week has
passed it is believed that the insur-
gent leaders will have been furnished
with arms enough for at least $4,000
men and, with a base of supplies es-
tablished on the coast, a vigorous
campaign against the Spanish forces
will be inaugurated.
Major General James f. Wade is
now in command of the army of in
yasiOn, by his right as senior officer,
MAJOR General W. r. SHAFT
ties, heretofore in command. Orders
to this effect were received from
Washington tonight.
Large amounts Of powder and pro-
jectiles for the blockading squadron
are now arriving here. On Picnic is
land there are twelve cars loaded
with dynamite, torpedoes, powder
and other ammunition, which will be
sent to Key West, and as many more
cars are on the wharf tracks. An ex-
ira heavy guard has been placed
around the cars. Hundreds of car
penters are at work to-day fitting mp
the big transports. II is believed now
that all Of the boats here will be in
readiness for loading by Wednesday

Now is the time for the laboring man
to rejoice, as wages must raise The
probabilities are that salt rakers will soon

will pay more for what they eat and
wear, but they can do with little more
ordinary supplies than they have been in
in the habit of getting, and thus save
more of their earnings TO pay for their

WOODEN MAUSER BULLETS.

DOns Use Cartridges Loaded With
Hair Instead of Powder.
That the Spanish soldiers in Cuba
were inferior marksmen is we'll known
to II soldiers and marines, but much
surprise has been expressed at the re-
markable lack of execution which char.
acterized them at Guantanamo and San
tiago. 1t has remained for Olaf Olson,
gun captain No. l Of the United States
gunboat Montgomery, to throw some
light on this matter.
Ollson, while his ship was stationed
off Santiago after the destruction Of
Cervera's fleet, went aboard the Maria
Teresa in search of souvenirs. He found
a large quantity Of unused Mauser Jar
tridges in clips Of five. One Of these
clips found it's way to the New York
Sun office. If the Spanish army and
navy were equipped with that kind of
ammunition, then Cervera and Toral
were amply justified in su~rrendering.
The cartridges found by ellison ION
sist of a metal shell loaded with hair
and a sprinkling Of powder. The bullet
is neither brass nor lead, but of wood.
Some wicked army contractor had i'm
posed on the ordnance bureau of the
Spanish navy, but to what extent the
harmless wooden Mauser bullets were
used will probably never be known.

Cost Of Maintaining European Armies.

The question of the cost of maintain
ing the enormous military establish
ments of the different European gov
ernments is receiving careful attention
by the financiers of the continent, and
it may be that disarmament is not far
distant, not because of any real desire
for it on the part of the rulers, but be-
cause of financial reasons.
M. Biloxi, a Polish financier and stat
istician, has taken the matter up and
after careful study estimates that it
costs Europe 81, 1926, 900, 900 every year
to maintain her armies and fleets. In
addition to this as much more is paid
in interests on war debts. He also es-
Inmates that the daily cost of a war in
which the five great continental powers
should be engaged would be not less
than 500, 97S, 900. These figures do not
include the loss to the powers through
the curtailment Of the productive possi-
bilities of the different countries,
through the enforced absence of the
young men from the fields and factor
les during their terms of military SER
vice.
The Polish financier also shows that
the size of continental armies have out
grown the limits of efficiency. Their

Ticket Scalping Must Stop.

When congress convenes next month
the fight against scalping railroad tick
cts will be renewed with greater vigor
than ever. The railroads are not alone
in the movement to secure legislation
against the brokers and dealers in tick
cts, and the influence which will be
brought to bear on the members of con-
gress to pass a law which will protect
the travelling public and the roads alike
will be
At a meeting held in Chicago a short
time ago, of the National Association of
Merchants and Travellers, which in
cludes in it's membership practically
every wholesale house in that city,
30, 900 country merchants in the west
and northwest and an army of travelling
statesmen, it was determined to keep up
the fight against the scalpers until sue
cess attended their efforts. This action
of the association will have an impor-
tant bearing on the matter, and will re-
suit in congress taking some action.
Since the mastering cut of the volun-
teer regiments in the east the scalpers
have given new and effective reasons
why their traffic should be terminated
and they exterminated. During the time
of mastering out the railroads offered
to issue upon f%urlough papers without
waiting for the laws delays and red
tape, half rate transportation to return
ing soldiers, and they were victimized
right and left, and not even by the new
rule that reduced transportation should
be sold only to soldiers in uniform was
the evil mitigated. In Chicago, for in
stance, a few days after the roads be-
gan the issuance of holt rates to soldiers,
n industrious soldier of fortune"
only, in a borrowed or stolen uniform,
bought three half rate tickets to New
York, each Yer a different line, and
three others to important cities about
equal distances in the west, all of which
were in an hour in scalpers' hands to be
sold to unsuspecting and innocent buy
ers. Practices like these awaken indig-
nation, disclose more clearly than any
thing else the true character of the men
who live and thrive by them, and utter
a call which honest men Inc Legislators
will not fail to heed to rid the country
Of a public scandal and disgrace and
end practices base and criminal.

There is an idea abroad that only in
America is it possible to buy men for
use in forming swindling and fraudu-
lent companies, but the trial of PRO
moter" Hooley, who recently entered
the English court of bankruptcy on his
own petition. is developing some scam
dalous as well as interesting features
of life among the nobility of Great Bril-
tain. Mr.. Hooley, in his experience, had
been able to make a market list Of the
value of dukes, counts, lords and even
princes of the royal house, and his tes-
timony shows that the range was from
$1,000 to $780, 900 per head. Not only have
the nobility of England their price, as
pigeon-stools, but the newspapers are

when any money is to be divided in the
promotion of schemes intended to fleece
the unwary. Of the $50, 900, 900 made by

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
makes the following very sensible and
timely remark on the proposed order of
the president, taking a batch of Off
Gals from under the civil service regu-
lations: without entering upon a de-
Tense of civil service reform, or under
taking any assault of it's principles, we
have no hesitancy in saying that If a
Democratic president filled the offices
with Democrats, and that too, having
the examinations in view, and then es-
tablished them for life by civil service
regulations, his work should be partial
ly undone in the interest of justice and
equity
