An American Success,

London, May 2s.-The correspondent
of the Morning Post at The Hague
says: THE discussion of the proposed
modifica ton of the Geneva convention
provision regarding sick and wounded
neutrals constitutes a distinct success
for the American delegates. When it
was first broached- the Russians de-
clined to take any part in the discus
sion on the ground that the subject
was not mentioned in the circular of
Count Muravieff. F
THE Americans urged that the Dutch
invitation included all subjects bearing
on the circular, a view which the con-
ference upheld. AS yet the Russians
have not abandoned their position, and
they will make another effort to-mor-
row to have the American proposals
rejected on technical grounds. Inter
esting developments are expected

PARIS STUCK FAST.
The Ninth Attempt to Float the Steam
ship a Failure.

Coverack, Cornwall May 2S.-The ninth
attempt to float the American liner Paris
was made this evening and proved an ut
ter failure. Her bow is absolutely i'm
paled by the rocks.
Five tugs We're used in the endeavor to
tow the Paris off. three others standing by
for an emergency. Her boilers except
ing those used for the pumps, were emp
tied to tighten the ship.
The effect of the strain of last week s
attempts Is apparent in the increase of
water in the engineers room. Efforts to
pull her off will now be discontinued and
1t is proposed to concert some new plan
for tightening the vessel. The pertinacity
of the attempts to tow the liner off has
caused considerable surprise among ex-
perts here, owing to the impalemel of the
bow, as her removal by towing must
mean. in the opinion of experts, the tear
ing off of the bow

1T IS A MYSTERY.
An oficial Inquiry Into the Wreck of
the Paris,


Baltimore, May 2s.-Bernard N
Baker, president of the Atlantic Trans
port company, just returned from Lon
don, stated to-day that it was under
stood the American line steamer New
York would be put on the Cherbourg
route in place of the wrecked Paris.
In speaking Of the causes of the
wreck of the Paris and the Mohegan,
which went ashore at nearly the same
place, Mr.. Baker said it was an impen-
etrable mystery and must remain so
until after the official investigation.
Mr.. Baker does not think it possible
to save the Paris and considered her a
total loss.
They might" he said, elbow her up
and save some Of her fixing, but unless
they have a most unusual stretch OF
calm weather I do not think they can
get her off the rocks. The sea at that
point is terribly rough and there is no
more exposed point anywhere"

NO WORD FROM BROOKE.
Much Surprise at the Small Number of
Applicants.

Washington, May 2S-War depart
ment officials say no word was received
to-day from General Brooke at Havana
regarding the payment of the Cuban
troops. Several dispatches were re-

confined to routine matters. The news

Yesterday were read with considerable
interest, and much surprise was mani
tested at the small number of men who
came to receive the gratuity of this
government, in view of General Go
mez's efforts to have the Cubans sur
render their arms and of the alleged
size of the insurgent army.

Dreyfus before a court martial to be

thing has already been revealed and no
danger has arisen either at home or

NEW ADDITIONS IN SLANG.
Some Expressive Terms Brought Out He.
fore the Lexov Committee.

Slang expressions, according to some
scholars, become incorporated in a lam
guage through frequent and long con-
tinued Use and ultimately become rec.
ognized as standard, says the n. Y.
Herald.
All tongues possess words which orig
mated in the slums and finally with
perhaps slight notifications find their
way to the drawing room. How many
of the coined words used in the testi-
mony before the Lexow committee will
reach that distinction it is hard to say
at the present time. Nor is it easy to
determine how long the non-interpreta-
ton of old words will stick to them.
Certain it is that many expressions

Manila Cigars.

st. Louis Republic: Cigar dealers
who have large surplus stocks of Gu
ban and other tobaccos Of hand are
keeping an eye on Manila as a source
of the American tobacco supply in the
near future. Manila cigars are cheap;
the best of them can be bought at the
native stands for 5 cents each, and a
very good smoke can be had at the
price of the despis.d two-for. The old
cone-shaped Manila cigar, or cheroot,
which was supposed to give the best
smoking when lit at the thin end, is
rapidly going out of fashion and mod
ern shapes are taking it's place. The
Americans in Manila are taking kind
ly to the tobacco i'm the form OF both
cigars and cigarettes, and it is pre-
dicted that as soon as the Manila
cigars are introduced in the states
they will become the rage. 1t is quite
likely that steps may be taken to pre-
ven the expectation of the bad quail
tiles of tobacco, which In times past
have given a bad reputation in this
country to the Manila product. There
are eight large cigar and cigarette fac
tories in Manila, which employ from
400 to 1000 operatives each. Beyond
these houses, which confine them
selves mainly to the higher grades of
the market, there are nearly 100
smaller factories.
