Slatla Paaha With the Elpedltlon. Cairo, March 18. Sir H. H. Kltohener, the brigadier general In command of the Egyptian forcea, haa been definitely ap points! to command the British-Kgyptien expedition which will advance on April 1 from Wady Haifa up the Nile and toward Dongola. Blatln Paaha, formerly an officer of the Auetrlan and Egyptian armle and who recently neaped from Omdurmnn after having been nearly 17 years In captivity In the Sudan, will take part In the expe dition. There are few men If any who are bet ter calculated to assist the British expedi tionary force than Blatln Paaha. He went to the Budan In 1876-7 as a traveler and at the end of the latter year was appointed Inspector general of the foroea by General - Gordon, an old friend of hie. Later he waa appointed governor of western Dar fur by the then khedlve, Tewfik Paaha, and while occupying that poet he fought 87 battle against the Mahdlata and loat iLATIH PASHA, the greater part of his troopa and almost 11 hie ammunition. He waa cut off from communication with Khartum and Kl Obeld and waa eventually forced to sur render. In one battle he went out against the foroea of the Mahdl with 10,000, men, and, being suddenly attnoked, In less than bait an hour had only tfOO left. Yet with these few men hi managed to retreat with hla wounded. After the fall of Khartum, having been eight months In chalna and nearly starred, he waa released by the caliph on condi tion that he would never leave bis pres ence and waa lodged In a house next to the caliph's. But he eventually succeed ed In escaping, aa already told. He aaya that the oallph, In spite of re verses during recent years, la still very powerful, and that at Omdurmnn, where the caliph's court and prlnolpal garrisons re boused, there are about 400,000 persona. Strong garrisons are also maintained at other places, especially at Dongola, where It la passible that the dervishes may mus ter over 80,000 men. The oallpb manufac tures his own ammunition and has Dumber of machine guns and plenty of modern rifles similar to those used by the Egyptian troops. In faot, thousands of them have been captured In battle. Prunee Taken by Surprise. Paris, March 18. The French govern ment up to this time has not defined Its position toward the proposal to dispatch n Egyptian expedition up the Mile. There Is reason to believe that the pro posal came as surprise to the French government. French statesmen had been entertaining the hope that an opening of negotiations was near at hand looking to the evaouatlon of Egypt by the British troops. A senaatlon hJ been censed by the an nouncement maae by M. Berthelot, min ister of foreign affairs, to the cabinet meeting that be bad asked the British em bassador, tbe Marquis of Dufferin, for In formation regarding the proposed advance of British-Egyptian troops np the Mile and had pointed out to him the serious consequences of such an advance. Tbia warning note may be preliminary to more decided steps. The foreign minister's announcement waa eagerly taken np In the lobt les of the chamber of deputies and was the exclusive topic of discussion. Tbe prevailing senti ment expressed was one of indignation at the course adopted by Great Britain, and the general feeling Is that France must adopt decisive tone In dealing with the nuttier. A semiofficial statement has been given out reflecting the opinion of the govern ment on the subject, although M. Berthe lot bed decided to postpone making tbe formal statement In the chamber of depu ties on tbe attitude of the government to ward tbe proposed expedition. "The proposed advance up the Kile," says this inspired utverauoa, "la great surprise to the government and will serve to iniuHler the autl-hnglub feeling in Franoe at time when a better entente was promised.

General Oarola Reported to Be With the F.iperilt loa Spanish Soldiers Fight With Kach Other by Mistake Insurgents Cap ture a Town. New York. March 18. After biding for more than a fortnight in the lee of Bcdloe'a Island, apparently dismantled and useless, the filibuster Bermuda made her second attempt to leave the port of New York with armsand men for the Cu ban insurgents. This time shs succeeded. Flying the British Dug at peak and stern, the Sun derland ship, as she Is labeled, raised an chor and pnssed unchallenged through the Narrows into the open eea. She was last seen from the deck of a press tug, which accompanied her down the bay and as far southward aa the roadstead opposite As- bury Park. At that point a sudden and blinding snowstorm swallowed the Ber muda np. She was then holding her course for the smith. The Bermuda cleared on Saturday for Vera Cruz and other Mexican porta, Bnt nobody donhts that her aotnal destination Is Cuba. She oarrles In ber hold all the arms and htnmunltlon destined for her first abortive venture, whloh were oaptnr- ed on the tug Stranahan by United States marshals, and whose ownership has since been adjudicated in tbe federal courts. She has a crew of more than 80 men. Her cnbin Is filled with sympathizers In the Insurgent cause. How great or how smell Is their number Is a secret known only to the lenders of the enterprise. The Bermuda's forohdld Is filled with arms, ammunition and coal. Her after hod, up, to the hour of, her departure, was sealed against all inquiries. It may be stored with arms. It may have been place of concealment for scores of men. In any case the successful filibuster of the Bermuda was larger In Its Scope than that whose success was prevented three weeks ago by iedcral Interference. . . , . lMredevll Johnnie In Command. It Is said, butcannot be confirmed, that Cnllxto (iarcln Is on board the Bermuda. The vessel Is la oommandof John O'Brien, a Hell gate pilot, known as Daredevil Johnnie, owing to his previous exploits as a daring and successful filibuster. He Is said to have received It, 000 for bit share In the hazardous venture. The ves sel Is coaled for a journey of at least 80 days. What follows Is a correct record of tbe Bermuda's movements during the day and night preceding her disappearance In tbe storm off Ashury Park. Signs of Activity were observed In the nolnhhorhood of the Bermuda early Satur day morning. When Daredevil Jack O'Brien came out to the ship from South ferry, aocompnnled by the British vice oonsul, he wus all prepared to sign tbe discharges of 16 members of tbe old crew of the Bermuda. In their places 15 new sailors were at hand, and their oontraots were duly sign ed. This had all been prearranged. It wns part of the programme of Daredevil Jack. Ho Is an nxperienced filibuster. He took the famous yacht Rambler to the Mosquito const IB years ego. It was be who, in 1RH7, ran the blookade at Haiti with the Carol I no Miller, carrying arms and ammunition for the Insurgents of that Island. Captain O'Brien's speolal field of operations has of late been Hell gate, but he cherlshos a predilection for adventures Involving danger to himself and his asso ciates. i.

The San Qulntln battalion, on the other band, mistook the garrison for the Insur gents and charged three times with great determination taking the town. The blasts from the corbet and the orles of " Viva Kspana I' ' on the part of the San Qulntln soldiers were not sufficient to put a stop to the firing on either side. Before the mistake was discovered the San Qulntln battalion bad lost 18 soldiers killed and a captain, 4 lieutenants and 87 soldiers wounded. Insurgents Capture a Town.

MOUNT BLEVEfl discovers won derful PHYSICAL EFFECTS. Plants Art Developed to Twlro Their Nat oral 8lseThey Promise to Prodoe Ho. mnrknble Cures In Tubercular moeasoe. Aa Instance of Rhonmntlssa. While the whole elnotrioal world I ttndying the effects and behavior of X tys and the nynlical profession Is test ing their ralne for the purposes of diag noses, it has remained for Dr. J. Mount Bleyer of Mew York to direct attention to the possibilities of these and other light rays In the Held of therapeutic. Dr. Bleyer, who is an F. B. A. M. 8.. member of the Frenoh Eleotro-Thera- pontteal society of Paris and a profeesor iu the National School of Electro-Therapeutics, has an article in the last num ber of th New York Medical Journal. entitled "Crookee' X and Other Light nays A Problem Yet to Be Solved In Therapentics, Etc" "It is fair to presume, "he says, "that the rays have a subtler power than this one of penetration. Ordinary light is one of tbe main factors in the develop ment and growth of animal life. ' We have studied the effects in this direc tion, and know that snnlight is essen tial for the growth and development of both animal aud regetable tissue. What effect may those different light rays have on pathological conditions? I have undertaken a few investigations in or der to ascertain the effects of these rays open animal life and upon the tissue. The ouly leg we have to stand npon st present is the singular phenomenon of the penetrative force of these rays. Is not the hypothesis fair to set np that these rays, in forcing their way through tissues, exercise soma action npon the tissues in their tratioit through them? The work is notably slow and tedious, besides involving much coet and time. I can hold forth little beyond saying that np to the present moment close ob- . serration of the action of these rays np on animal and vegetable life is being carried on. " After referring to such evidence as has been accumulated on the subject. Dr. Bleyer concludes : "Why, then, may wa not expect that rays of light propagated from many sources will give ns valuable effects in disease and growth? I bring these arguments and the problematic question before the notice of the pro fession in order to stimulate others be sides myself to enlarge this field of in vestigation, as there is no telling what hidden forces await our unraveling of their laws and their probable therapeutio application, eto." Dr. Bleyer was found at his residence, and asked by a reporter to state more fnlly the nature of bis observations and discoveries. "I am not yet prepared," he said, "to go into details, because these must first be communicated to my profession, but I can tell yon some things in gen eral way. First, do not make tha mis take of supposing that I am oonflning myself to experiments with the X rays. I am stndyiug the effects of different rays of light both singly and in combi nation with each other, and have secured some remarkable results. The remark able effects of the rays of the ordinary aro light in forcing the growth and frui tion of plants have been observed both by myself and the authorities of tbe botanical gardens at Washington. Un der their influence many plants can be nearly doubled in size and brought to fruitage in a very mnch shorter time than by tbe ordinary course of nature. ' I recently ripened a green banana in 14 hours by exposing it to aro light rays. Think of the commeroial possibilities of producing fruits and vegetables in ad vance of their season by the use of elec tric light I "Now, as to therapeutical results, I have made experiments which satisfy me that tha bacilli of diphtheria and tuberculosis can be speedily and effectu ally destroyed by concentrated raya of sunlight brought to bear on tbem. I re cently destroyed some specimens of both in from four to ten minutes. My meth od would be to concentrate tha sun's rays by lenses and pass them through the chest or throat of tha patient, ae cording to tha nature of his affection, after interposing plate of blna glass to interrupt tha heat rays. "This brings ns back to tha theory ad vanced 30 years ago by tha late General Pleaaanton of tha United States army. His theory caused a good deal of fun to be poked at him, bnt ha waa nearer truth than his critics suspected. About ten days ago a man oama to ma anffer ing from a rheumatic knee joint By tha nee of concentrated sun rays passed through a plate of blue glass I cured him entirely in four days. "From this time I shall devote my-, self to the treatment of phthisis by this method. I do not mean that anything can be dona for patient in the lust stages of consumption, bnt I have great hope of relieving patients in the early, stages. Apart from the great boon to humanity of such a result, there are tha monetary considerations involved in saving the large number of valuable cat tle annually slaughtered because affect ed with tuberculosis. "As to the X rays, I have noticed some ourious physical effects on myself. Exposure of my hand to them produced well defioaj sensations, which eventu ally became painful. Placing my bead in the rays caused a violent headache, which lasted for three hours. These arc evidences, yon see, of marked physical effects." New York Recorder. For th Willi Kays.
