New Yokk, June 10. A dispatch to
the Journal from Havana, Bays :
Another of Weyler's generals, Lono,
inspector-general of the civil guard, in
Cuba and military governor of Havana,
has resigned in disgust, and expects to
leave the island bv the transatlantic
liner sailing on Juno 30th for Spain di
rect. Lono regards Weyler's early recall as
quite assured and thinks Blanco or
Lopez Dominguez will come out aB his
successor. Both are unusually intimate
with Martinez Campos, to obtain whose
support in the recent ministerial crisis
Canovus is known to have made im
portant concessions.
Weyler is reported to have cabled Can
ovas insisting that Minister Dupuy de
Lome demand from the Washington
government the extradition of Nunez,
Cartava and Arteaga, alleged filibusters
recently captured by the United States
authorities on the Florida coast, alleging
old criminal indictments against three

Havana, June 10. The Herald's cor

return to Havana, he encountered some
of Gomez' forces near Sancti Spiritus,
under command of Gomez himself, and
was forced to rttreat, leaving fifty dead
on the field and 100 prisoners in the
handB of the rebels. This matter has
been neglected in official reports.

AMERICANS TO SCALE ST. ELI AS,
Henry O.
ISryant and Party
Mountaln'8 Base.
at the
Pout Townbend, Wash., June 10.
NewB comes from Alaska that Henry G.
Bryant Iirb arrived at Yakutat, which is
at the base of Mount St. Elias, with a
party of five, who will scale the monnt-
ain. Bryant is a .fniladelpnian, and
scientific enthusiast, and bis name has
many times before been connected with
expeditions in which adventure has
been by no means a subordinate quality.
He headed a party of exploration in Lab
rador in 1891, and was the first man to
measure and photograph the great fallB
in that country. Ho was a member of
the Peary relief expedition in 1894, and
and was commander of the Peary auxil
iary expedition which brought Mrs.
Peary back to the United States.
Bryant is accompanied by S. J. Entri
kin, who iB an old Peary expedition
veteran, and the government is sending
E. B. Latham of Atlanta, who is a mem
ber ot the United States coast and geo
detic survey corps, to take official meas
urements and data.
Bryant has had the ascent of Mount
St. Elias in view for years, but was de
terred from the attempt by the refusal
of the government to send a representa
tive. It is his intention to plant the
stars and stripes on the summit ahead of
the Italian prince, Luigi, who has gone
nortn to carry the Italian flag to the
mountain's top.
Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thiug that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Saflbrd, Ariz., writes : "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that iB claimed for it; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its meritB." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It

SHELL BLEW VV IN THE RIFLE.
Terrlllc Kxplodon of Gun Cottn at
Indian Head, Md.
AsinxoTON, June 10. The state of
Maryland trembled last evening as the
result of an explosion of 330 pounds of
gun cotton at the government proving
grounds at Indian Head. A 12-inch
breech-loading1 rifle weighing 101,000
pounds and worth $25,000, was blown to
pieces. The armor-covered "bombproof"
in which the spectators take refuge while
tests are made, was wrecked and a doz
en naval officers and ortlnance experts
narrowly escaped with their lives.
The final test was being made of a gun
cotton shell invented by a Chicago man,
and through some unaccountable acci

ueni me sueii expioaea in llie gun,
wrecking the monster and its carriage
t a ...
ana inrowing some ot tne pieces more
than a mile down the Potomac.
Colonel O'Neill, the chief of ordnance
for the nayy, and several United States
naval officers and naval attaches from
the various foreign legations had for
tunately taken refuge on a navy-yard tug
about a mile from shore. Lieutenant
Anderson, who had been directed to fire
the gun by electricity when the signal
was given from the tug, had gone behind
a big earth bank or "butt" about 300
yards from the gun. He and other
spectators were unhurt, though a mass
lve piece 01 tne gun, weighing manv
tons, flew through the air with frightful
velocity and struck the water within
100 feet of the tug.
If the spectators had gone into the
"bombproof," as they usually do, when
such tests are made, they would all have
been killed, for a big piece of steel struck
it and ripped through the 12-inch armor
as if it had been so much paper. A
great hole was torn in the ground where
the gun stood and the buildings at the
proving grounds were badly shaken.
Not a particle of the massive gun or its
carriage remained.
First there was a rumbling of the earth
and then the full clap of the awful ex
plosion broke. A thick smoke covered
the earth, and th,e next instant a huge
piece of steel came hurtling through the
air and struck the water, throwing the
spray in every direction. As the men
looked, they saw a great hole where the
gun had stood with the smoke floating
away in the air. For several minutes
the sound of the explosion reverberated
through the surrounding hills.
This was the largest charge of gun cot
ton ever iired or attempted to be fired
from a powder gun. The government
paid about $25,000 for the gun blown up,
and it was built especially for these testB.
A shell shot from this gun was expected
to perforate 21 inches of steel at a dis
tance of 1500 yards and to travel from
six to ten miles before losing its mo
mentum. Judge KltzGerald Dying.
