LONDON , May 31. The Berlin correspond
ent ot the Dally Mall says today : From a
Ilusjlan source cornea news ot a conspiracy
against King George of Greece , far more
deeply rooted than was supposed. There la
Indubitable evidence that Premier Kalll and
hu ! colleagues In the cabinet arc gravely
Implicated In a plot to overthrow the
dynasty.
The Kolnlsche Zeltung says that Greece
will bo compelled to pay a large Indemnity ,
to reduce her army to 20,000 men and to give
up her fleet.
The correspondent of the Tlmca at Constan
tinople saja : The sultan has ordered the
official centers to suppress any sympathetic
allusion to or actions concerning the Greek
royal family. The police In the Galatea sec
tion of the city have been ordered to arrest
all persons dealing In Greek securities.
The Athens correspondent of the Standard
pays : King George paid a visit to M. Onou ,
the- Russian minister yesterday ( Saturday )
and after a two "hours' Interview sent a long
telegram to Emperor Nicholas , urging him
to In'crvene on behalf of Greece.
The Athens correspondent of the Times
says : Turkey's continued arming and re
ported Russian preparations , with other
rumora of a bellicose character , raise the
hopes of some ot the Greek newspapers that
Greece may yet benefit from a general
European war. But the majority of the na
tion , sobered by a pad experience , la only
desirous that Europa shill protect Greece
against her conqueror. . ,
"There Is no reason to fear that either Bui-
garli or Servla will abandon the policy they
have followed thus far. The Turkish troops
who have been sent to the Servian and Bul-
Rarlau frontiers are only inte.nded to replace
these which were withdrawn Just before
the war began.
"The reports of alarming antl-dynastle
troublea published abroad cause surprise
hero , as there Is no sign of any such move
ment nor Is any prominent politician llkclj
to commit himself to an antl-dynautlc pro
gram.
"It appears that the prince of Wales hat
expressed his personal desire that Crowr
Prince Constantine should come to Londot
for the Jubilee festivities and this la re
garded as Indicative of English good will
toward Greece. "
A dispatch from Canra to the Times , dated
Sunday , nays that the armed Mussulman *
made a sortie from Candla Saturday nlglil
and burned the village of Kalavia , killing
fourteen. The dispatch adds : "This Is cer
tain to have serious consequences , aa It will
incense the Cretans , who will make re
prisals. "
. CoiiHtnntlne IM Invited to London.
ATHENS , May 30. There appears to be
little Inclination here to accept the accusa
tions against the royal family made In cer
tain of the newspapers , and the maintenance
of'order 1& fully assured. Crown Prince Constantine
stantino has received an Invitation to at
tend Queen Victoria's diamond Jubilee next
month. The opportunity for such a visit or
the part of the crown prince has given rise
to much discussion.

Detailed Account of the Trip
Twenty-Two Ciilinim Taken
to the Inland.
WILMINGTON , N. C. , May 30. The Mra-
aenger today prints a detailed account ot
the loading of the tug Alexander Jonea and
her departure with the schooner John D.
Long on a Cuban filibustering expedition.
The facts were obtained from a member of
the crew of the Alexander Jones , which re
turned to port several daya ago. His > lory
substantially Is as follows :
On Thursday night , May 13 , the Jonca took
on a cargo ot rifles , machetes , rapid-firing
fiur.n and ammunition at the wharf of the
Wilmington , Newbern & Norfolk railway In
the southern limits of the city. Before fhe
had entirely finished her carpe n report was
started that officers were approaching and
that the revenue cutter Morrlll was getting
up steam. Taking alarm at this the Jones
pulled out and started down the river at
10:45 : p. m. , and In a few houra crossed the
bar and anchored outside , ' ' 'le ' schooner
John D. Long , having meanwhile been loaded
with coal and other material at llw Wilming
ton & Weldon railroad wharf , w.ts shortly
afterward towed out to sea by the iug Jacob
Brandon , going pst the r > > v-iiue cutler
Felix. On the .schooner were General Sllr.pz
and another olficcr of the Cuban army , a
Cuban pilot , and Captain OTlrien of the
Dauntless. At the sea buoy they went on
board the Jones' anchored nearby , and Cap
tain O'Brien , took charge ot the expedition.
A .hawser was made fast from the Jones to
the schorjer and early Friday morning ( he
tug steamed to the south with htr tow. The
Urandon returned to Southport. On the wcy
down the coast no port waa entered , but off
Palm beach , on the coast of Florida , sixty-
two Cubans were taken on board. The Jrnes
then towed the schooner to the Bahamas
and In the vicinity anchored In the open
sea on Tuesday , May 18. On Thursday mornIng -
Ing , May 20 , the filibuster Dauntless hove
In sluht and came alongside the Jonca and
the schooner. She coaled from the schooner ,
took a cargo of arms from the Jones , and
with Cap tali. O'Brien In command headed for
the Cuban coast , about sixty miles away.
She left the Jones between 8 and 9 o'clock
Thursday night , made a successful landing in
Cuba near Matanzas , and after an absence
of twenty-four hours returned to the Jones ,
took nnotfier cargo of war material Snd
started for Cuba Friday night. On the last
trip General Nunez and the sixty-two Cubans
left the Jones and went on board the Daunt
less and accompanied Captain O'Brien. When
the Dauntless left with her second cargo the
Jones coaled from the schooner , towed her
oft Cape Canaveral , Fla. , and turned her
locae. "She " sailed back and got Into Southport
yesterday.
The cargo carried out of here was valued
at $78,000 and Is said to have been the second
largest ever landed In Cuba. The member of
the crew above referred to says there Is no
truth In the story that the Jones waa chaaed
and fired on by the Spanish war vessel. The
Jonca never saw the smoke of such a war
vessel while on her trip.
ATTACKS COMMISSIONER CAI.HOUX.
Havana. Pniier CIiarKrcn that He Al
low * Secretn to Excuse.
HAVANA. May 30. In a leading article
thU morning El Dlarlo de la Marina makes
a scathing indirect attack- upon Commissioner
Calhoun by criticising articles which have
appeare'a In a Washington newspaper over
the signature ot Mr. Pepper , who , In the
gulae of an Intimate friend ot President Mc-
Klnley and iMr. CalHoun , accompanied the
latter to Cuba. El Dlarlo de la Marina main
tains that many Incidents of the Interior
working of the mixed commission which are
wholly private have been divulged In Mr.
Pepper's article. The paper also resents Mr.
Pepper's unfriendly attitude to Spain In his
reports on the Cuban question expressing dis
gust that while he blamea Spain for the
natural result of the -war he has no word of
censure for the Cuban Insurgents , whoae
torches are destroying the wealth ot the
Island.
In closing Its article El Dlarlo calls atten
tion to the fact that two New York news
paper representatives who are scarcely favor
able to Spain , maintain bureaus In Havana
under the same roof with the- United States
consul general , Intimating without much
delicacy that the correspondents of these
ne'wspapers are virtually under the wing of
General Fltzhugh Lee.
Mr. Flshback , accompanied by Mr. Pepper ,
went Into the Interior today to visit Guana-
Jay.Mr
Mr , Calhoun spent the day with General
Lee nt the American consulate.
Captain General Weyler went from Tunas
to Jacar on Friday , but returned to Tunaa
today.
The insurgents dynamited a passenger
train. The baggage car was demolished ,
and the locomotive and three passenger
cars were derailed , but no lives were lost.

HAVANA ( via Key West ) , May 30. Of the
two reports understood to have been sent
from Havana yesterday by the commission
Investigating the death of Dr. Ruiz , the one
by Mr. Calhnun , who represents the United
States , and the otlier by Dr. JOPO Congcsto ,
the Spanish consul at Philadelphia for the
Spanish government , the former will. It ! a
said , agree with the statement of Consul
General Leo that Dr. Ruiz died from con
cussion of the brain , the result of violence ,
after solitary confinement of more than thir
teen days , regardless of hla treaty rights.
Consul General Lee declined at Friday's ses
sion of the commission to question the wit
nesses who were Interrogated only by the
Spanish representatives , Consul General Lo
will shortly mike a report on the Ruiz case
and Mr. Calhoun will shortly make a report
on other matters , the money question , Amer
ican interests , the revolution and the suffer
ing from Captain General Weyler's style of
campaign. Consul General Lee's position is
the came aa In February last. He holds that
Spain In responsible ) because Ruiz died , be
cause he was confined , Pr , Lee and Dr.
Calboun could not learn how the concussions
oit the head were made , because half of the
witnesses were prisoners , and it Is believed
were afraid to fully testify. The remaining
witnesses were the Jailers , who would not
testify so as to incriminate themselves. The
relief ot suffering Americans by Consul Gen
eral Lee goes on dally. Several hundred
have already been relieved.

DECORATE THE -CRAVES IN MEXICO.
General Clnytnn IMlnteM. on the l-'ii-
tlllty of Arl.llratloii.
CITY OF MEXICO , May 30. Mexican
papers give full account * of the Interesting
Memorial day ceremonies on the part of the
Americans and the local Grand Army of the
Republic post , consistent ; of the decoration
of the graves of soldiers ot the war of 1847
at the American cemetery and also the deco
ration with wreaths of the monument to the
cadets who died at Chapultepee In resCatlng
the American attack on that castle. General
Clayton , the American minister , had pre
viously sounded the Mexican government and
found It had no objection to the ceremonies.
There Is general approval of the courtesy
and graceful action of Mexican army officials
who decorated the graves of American col-
dlcrs. It was the first reciprocal act of the
kind and has served to make more cordial
the friendship already existing between
Americans living here and the Mexican pee
ple.
General Clayton made strong Impression
on his auditors by his address. Regarding
arbitrating as a mode of settling International
disputes he said : "We thould not allow
ourselves to be lulled to sleep by dreams of
arbitration as a panacea for all the troubles
between nations. I believe that all the
secondary questions of this character should
be so settled , but when It comes to national
honor and preservation of our territory and
our liberties 1 for one am unwilling to place
In the hands of any one man the settlement
of such questions. I say any one man , be
cause U practically amounts te that , for an
equal number of arbitrators chcsen by each
nation , will naturally stand , by their own
country , right or wrong , which leaves the
odd arbitrator sole power to cast ( he scale
for this elde or that. It will doubtless be
vs'rV-pteistqg fpr powerful nations uf Europe
that'are always armed to the teeth to have
us disarmed to rely up'&a arbitration to settle -
tlo the question. But history has shown that
the safest manner for nations to avoid , war
Is to be prepared for It. "

SAN FRANCISCO , M = y 30. The rlotoua
convicts In the San Quentln penitentiary
caused no serious trouble today , but they
are still defiant and vaguely threaten that
they will yet compel the authorities to yield
to their demands. Warden Halo Is coull-
dent that the backbone of the strike has
.been broken and declared that he will soon
starve the unruly men Into subjection. They
are closely watched every moment and the
guards arc Instructed tr Instantly suppress
any attempts at organized disturbance.
During the regular exercise hours today
some of the convicts , n l Implicated In the
strike but sympathizing with Its leaders ,
pelted the Jeers ot the dungeons where the
men on short rations are confined , with pota
toes and pieces pt bread , and In this way
managed to give them , considerable food be
fore the very eyes.ot the keepers.
Shotting a.nd hammering upon the doors
wcrb continued all day and the e who ap-
jjroached within hearing distance were
greeted with the vilest curses. The men declare -
clare that they will never submit to dis
cipline again and the prison officials are fully
aware that It will be a difficult task to re
store tranquillity. Warden Hale declares
that there Is no foundation In fact for the
complaints regarding the quality of food
served. He thinks this charge Is merely a
pretext for the convicts refusing to work in
the Jute mill and positively declares that
having quelled the first outbreak he Is now
master ot the situation.
