ELEcTRIcAL PosslslLITlEs.
TasIn's Remarkable scheme FOi
Trnnsmittfng Power.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-NikOla Tesla,
the electrician, describes in The Elec-
trical Review n possibility In electric
power transmission. Ills inventions for
transmitting electricity at high press
ure over long distances have been sue
cessfully applied at many natural
sources Of power. Probably the most
important OF these plants in the United
States Is at Niagara Falls, costing over
S6,OOO,O0O 10 install, which supplies cleo
tricity TO many large factories and sup
plies electric power for running the
trolley lines of the city of Buffalo, 1j
miles distant The announcement Is
now made that by employing apparatus
which he had Invented, capable OF gem
Grating electrical prcssures vastly in
excess Of any heretofore used, located
at natural sources OF Dswer, the cur
rent can be conducted TO terminal
maintained at an elevation where the
rarefied atmosphere is capable Of con-
ductng freely the particular current
produced; then at a distant point
where the energy Is to be used COM
merclally, to maintain a second termi-
nal at about the same elevation to at
tract and receive the current and TO
convey IL TO earth through special
means for Transforming and utilizing It,.
With the article an illustration IS
presented showing streams of electrici-
ty issuing from a single terminal, Civ
ing an estimated electrical pressure Of
2.5OOOOO volts. The Electrical Review
comments upon Mr.. Teslas novel and
startling ideas as follows:
"Tesla now proposes to transmit
without the use Of any wires through
the natural media-the earth and the
air-groat amounts OF power to dis
tances Of thousands Of miles. This win
appear a dream-a tale from The
Arabian Nights. But the extraordina-
ny discoveries Tesla has made during q
number OF years of incessant labor,
which are authoritatively described In
our present issue. make 1t evident that
his work in this field has passed a
stage OF laboratory experiment and is
ready for a practical test on an indus
trial scale. The success Of his Efforts
means that power from such sourcds
as Niagara viii become available in
any part Of the world regardless OF dis
tance."

cusANs WANT TO RULE.
General Rodriguez Thinks IL Is Time
For the Americans 10 Go.

SANTIAGO. Cuba. oct. 27.-Maioi
Petit, in command Of the United States
troops at Manzanillo and military gov.
ernor of the city, has telegraphed thai
the Cuban General Rios offers 2,OOl
armed men to assist the Americans II
preserving order, merely asking ratlcns
in return. General Wood sent the fol.
lowing reply: Certainly not. The only
conditions on which rations are TO be
given are the complete disarmament
and disbandment Of the Cubans."
Some of the Cubans here consider
that TIE United States is treating its
allies badly IN not allowing the Cubar
forces TO remain armed They contenC
tAat the Cuban soldiers, who have beer
fighting for three years. who speak the
language Of the country and who know
its conditions, are better fitted for gar
rison duty than UNFRAMED volunteers
The Cuban General Mayia Rodriguez
virtually voices the sentiment Of the
Cuban army when he says:
We thank the United States for the
assistance It has given us. but the time
has now arrived when Cubans should
be placed in the highest offices ano
should prepare to take over the island
on the departure Of the Spanish"
Cuban Extremists here are jubilant al
the reported attitude Of the Cuban as
sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, where
the delegates. while expressing then
gratitude to the Americans practically
demand n distinctive Cuban govern
ment The Cuban Moderates, on the
other hand, regret this stand, thinking
il best for the United States authorities
TO continue in charge of affairs for q
year at least. so as to set things goine
and to prevent any complications with
foreign governments.
Those who advocate annexation 20
the United states are extremely anx-
ious as to the outcome. A prominent
Cuban now employed under our govern
ment, himself a Moderate and well able
to judge OF the feeling in Santiago, says
these three parties are well defined and
would probably poll about equally, but
that in the event of the Extremists en-
deavoring to force the issue a majority
Of the Moderates would join the An
nexationists.
The foreign consuls are considering
the advisability of appealing to the
powers to prevent a too hasty recogni-
ton of the Cuban government. Cen
eral Wood is considering the advisable
ity Of granting a hotel license to any
responsible applicant who would under
take to establish a first class house in
Santiago. 1t is a singular fact that
while many Of the cities of Cuba with
only a third of Santiago's population
support two or three hotels, this town
has none worth speaking of.

groups In the main streets.
President Faure yesterday morning
received in audience Senator Loubet,
president Of the senate, and NJ. De-
schanel, president of the chamber OF
deputies.
1t Is the intention Of NJ. Faure to form
a new cabinet as rapidly as possible

suited with NJ. Leygues. vice president

ed the president of the republic TO
form a concentration cabinet, to in
clude among its members NM. RibOt

In the lobbies Of the chamber of dep
uties the deputies. Of all shades OF
opinion, express the conviction that M.
Delcasse should remain at the head OF
the foreign office in order to assure the
continuity OF the Fashoda negotiations.
The Petit Journal publishes an inter-
view with the former minister of war,
General Chanolne. who explained that
he resigned on account of the differ
ence Of opinion with the premier, M.
Ribot, about the Picquart affair. lie
added that he had not demanded the
prosecution of the papers which had
been attacking the army, because he
considered that the penalties provided
by the laws were insufficient
The Moderate papers say that Tues
day realized their hopes and the Rad
ical and Revisionist organs express be-
lief In the existence Of a military plot.
They urge a union Of all Republicans
as the only means of giving stability to
the future ministry.
President Faure is taking the crisis
quietly, and the belief is stronger than
II was Tuesday that M. Brisson fell be-
cause he wished to fall.
It is now rumored that General Cha
noine resigned the war office portfolio
out OF pique at the refusal OF the gem
eral staff committee to give him COM
mand of an army corps.
