MINISTER I)E LOME GRATIFIED
III!
l'rimr of Siuiln's IllRh SianilliiK
Willi tint Administration.
Washington, May lit. In (in author
ized interview, the bpanish minister,
Deputy do Lomo, broke his diplomatic
silence, and said :
"1 am going at once to call on the
president and express my gratitude for
his splendid action and the kindly con
e'uleration shown in the wording of his
message. Notwithstanding the activity
of the papers that are hostile and un
just, our cause has again triumphed.
We are stronger today with President
JIcKinley and Secretary Sherman than
we ever were with the Cleveland ad
ministration.
"Spain lias no objections whatever to
the United States helping her own citi
zens now resident in Cuba and alleged
to he in distress. The way that the
charity is distributed ih entirely the af
fair of the United States and not that of
Spain.
"This govern uient expressly states
that only lYniorieaiiB are to be relieved,
therefore no authority is asked to feed
the subjects of Spain. If Americans
have sullered through 'exegencies ot war,
it is their misfortune to be in Cuba at
this particular time. Spain does not
care if the United States maintains her
citizens in luxury, bo long as she dis
tributes her bounty through the con
sular agents and only in the towns."

Chicago, May 19. A special to the
Times-Herald from New York sayB:
Behind the movement for the passage
of the Cuban resolution is a solemn
pledge made by the Cuban junta to its
supporters in congress that four effective
men-of-war flying the Cuban flag are
only awaiting this recognition to take
to the seas. These vessels, it is de
clared, will bo obtained in England, and
it is asserted that arrangements have al
ready been perfected by which they will
be manned, thoroughly equipped and
be ready to sail the very day the bellig
erency of the Cubans is recognized.
Sri'l'I.TKH FOR THE CUBANS.
Mitve Anna and Ammunition Were
Shipped uant Thursday.
Wii,minhto.v, N. C, May 19. Four
tons ol anna and ammunition, and a
cargo of dynamite wore in all probabil
ity disembarked last night on the coast
of Cuba, by the a team tug Alexander
Jones and the pilot John D. Long.
Under the cover of darkness, and with
lights out, the Jones, Thursday night, at
riyiroau wharf, took on a cargo con- j
sisting of two carloads of rifles, car- j
tiidges, machetes, provisions and medi-1
fines. The pilot-boat Long, Friday,
toun on a cargo of dynamite and was I
convoyed to tea, where it joined the
Jones for Cuba.
j can only he described as indecisive. The ,
battle mired from eatly morninc until
long after dark. When the last dropping
shots were passing over the field, the ad-j
vantage did not appear to rest with i
either side.
The Greeks maintained their positions,
having acquitted themselves so well as
to have earned the hearty praises of the
Turks. They resisted with stubborn en
durance the attacks of the Ottomnns
through the livelong day, and still held
their entrenchments at nighttall. The
Turks made a supreme effort late this
evening but it was met with the utmost
bravery upon the part of the Greeks,
and failed..
The Turkish losses were heavv. The
left division of the Turks was engaged
from 9 o'clock in the morninc, and ap
pears to have suceeded in forcing hack
tne ureefc right wing.
Domokos, May 18. 6 a. m. Head
quarters of the Turkish Army. (Delay
ed in trasmission.) In the night the
Greeks abandoned all their positions.
Two and a half divisions of the Turks
are now pursuing the enemy.

Last Ketreat In ilrU8.
London, May 19. The correspondent
of the Daily News at Putras describing
the last retreat in Epirns with special
reference to the experience of the Bot
caris column at Prevesa, says:
One commander committed the mis
take of informing his wear, hungry and
rain-soaked troops that they must re
treat. There was a narrow escape from
a panic, lhe men retreated with fair
order to the shore, with the exception of
200, who had apparently not been warn-
ea, ana were therefore either Kineu or ,
taken prisoners.
At the shore, however, a genuine panic
ensued. The Turks were still quiet, hut
the Greeks finding no boats, fell into
despair and finally started to wade across
the arm of the Hea dividing them from
Greek tsrritory. It was a twj and a half
hour job, the men floundering breast
high in the water. When dawn broke
the Turke discovered whBt had happen
ed, began to shell the groups of waders,
whose position became most distress
ing. Many of 'them were drowned,
some fallinsrjwouuded or stumbling out of
their depth. The condition of the force
when it finally reached a place of safety
was in the last degree lamentable.
The total loss of the Epirus army dur
ing the day's fighting was 00 killed,
1000 wounded or missing, many of the
latter of whom must be accounted
for.
Iiosses 15 y Flood.
St. Louis, May 19. A special to the
Republic from ftew Orleans says:
It is thought there will be no further
damage done by the overflow. The
losses in Louisiana are estimated at sfl,-
750,000; in Mississippi, $3,500,000; and
in Arkansas, at .$4,250,000, or a total of
$14,500,000; not as serious a loss as in
many previous years of overflow, when
the river was not nearly as high as it is
now,
& SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
Last year the fanners of this coun
try exported .111,72 cattle, for which
they received $''0,003,70(3.
It is a surprising- fact that the
bakers of America last year sent abroad
14,00,314 pounds of bread and biscuit,
for which they received $034 .AGO.
Only 9,437 bushels of rye wore sent
abroad last year, for which we received
55,340. The' fact that rye is a leading
product in Germany. France, the Scan
dinavian countries and Kussia accounts
for the small export.
.T. E. Gore, writing on "The Size of
the Solar System." says that "enormous

lis, compared with tin size ol our own
earth, it is, comnured with the size ol
the visible universe, merely as a drop in
the ocean."

The Untlatterini- Term "Neiratlve" Im Still
Much Uftml.
I'rom the beginning it, had been
noticed that there were two kinds of
electric force, but. these were named,
with reckless lit.coui'U-sy, positive ami
negative, as though the second had been
inferior, inactive, merely receptive.
nd yet there were suggestions of th
true relations of these two forces that
should not hae been overlooked. It 1'
recorded that six years after the Si.
Petersburg professor', fatal experi
ment (about 17M), liobe-rt Syimwr.
"when pulling oil' his stocking! in th
evening', remarked thfit they gave a
crackling noise and emitted rparks."
lly varied e.!erimeiit.s he discovered i
that the electricity wins moat powerful j
when a silk and. worsted stocking ha. 1 1
boeai worn in the same lefr, or, if th 1
stockings were both of silk, then mor i
divert in ir retiultH were obtained when i
j they were of different color.ni Twi
whito bill; stockings or two block onr. ,
gave, no e.leetriwil indications. When a
black aud white stocking were with i
drawn from the same leg, anil then sep
arated, they were so much inflated that j
each Allowed the entire shape of the leg
and at a distance of 18 inches the,
lushed to meet eash other. !
Seiximte.. by force they would again !
become inflated, and be as ready ti
rush together as before. When thl. cx
peiriment was performed with twt
iilack stockings in one hand and twe
white in the other, the repulsion o!
those of the- same color their jealous
and the attraction of those of differ
ent colors would 'throw them into agi
tation and make them catch each at
that of its opposite, color nt greater
distance." Plainly this eighteenth
century student had to do with mascu
line ti'nd fi minim electricity aud yet
the unflattering term "negative' as
ipplled to the feminine, has persisted
even to our day. Harper's Weekly.

'What is the difference," asked a cor
respondent, apropos of Li Hung Chang's
journey to liurope, "between a yellow
jacket, a button, or a peaeoek's feather,
jii the one hand, and a thistle, a bath, or
a garter, on the other? Why do we lav
ish so lnuch ridicule on the importance
ittaebcd to the first set of emblems by
the Chinese when we ourselves set just
as much .store by the second set?"
There is much force in these questions,
and 1 commend them to the attention of
the wags in the press who are always
poking fuu at Li Hung Chang's vcllow
jacket and peacock's feathers, look
ing at the matter impartially, it seems
to me that :i yellow jacket, or a glass
button, or a peacock' feather is more
suitable for decorative purposes than
either a bath or a garter 1 do not. say a
thistle, because no doubt that is an ob
ject highly appropriate to many of
those on whom it has been conferred.
