PEACE BY PURCHASE.

Plll'-
New York, May 7.—A special
to the Journal from Havana says:
Your correspondent is able upon
high authority to confirm the
Journal's recent Washington re-
port as to the negotiations pend-
ing there between Secretary of
State Sherman, Dupuy de Lome
and Estrada Palma, looking to a
peaceful solution, by purchase or
otherwise, of the Cuban question.
The story is the topic of conver-
sation in all the clubs.
El Diario de la Marina, the re-
formist organ here, in a leader
sounds an ominous note of warn-
ing by intimating that the so-
called reforms that Premier Cano-
vas has offered to the island will
be little more than a farce should
Cuba be left to pay the cost of the
war. Spain must pay it, El Dia-
rio declares, otherwise the paper
adds, she can not hope to keep
the colony and continue to monop-
olize its trade.
He replied: "As we are at
war, ours must naturally be a war
policy, but the object of war is
peace "
greeks are safe.

New York, May 7.—A special
to the Journal from Athens says
There is great depression in
Athens because of the news of the
retreat of the Greek army to Do-
mokos, notwithstanding the recent
victory. Many wild rumors are
afloat.
M. Scouloud, minister of for-
eign affairs, in an interview, in
sisted that the ministers were not
discouraged by the position, as
tbe Greek troops had held their
own at all points against odds of
nearly three to one, there being
65,000 Turks to 25,000 Greeks on
the two sides.
He said the order to retreat was
given after a council of war held
here to prevent the Turk from be-
ing able to take the Greek out
flank which their numerical su
periority made possible.
The commanders have no doubt
of being able to hold their pres-
ent positions indefinitely. The
wounded men, arms and ammuni-
tion were transported back in per-
fect order. Being asked if the re-
moval of Colouel Vassos from
Crete was a preliminary to the
withdrawal of Greek troops, he
replied:
"It has nothing to do with it.
It was considered that his pres-
ence was required here on the
frontier. The withdrawal of the
troops trom Crete is not under
consideration by the council."
The minister refused auv in-
formation as to the action of the
great powers.
Your correspondent finally
asked: "May the policy oi your
government be described as one of
war or peace!"

Boring hor Natural Steam.
ine deepest well in the world
will soon be completed near Pitts-
burg, Pa. It is now more than
one mile deep, says the "W ashing-
ton Star, and when completed it
may reach down two miles into
the earth. It is being bored in the
interest of science. The object in
penetrating so deeply is to deter-
mine just what the interior of the
footstool is like. From a com-
mercial point of view the well was
a success long ago. A compara-
tively few feet below the surface
both gas and oil were struck in
paying quantities, but the compa-
ny owning the plant determined
to dedicate it to science, and in-
vited Professor William Hallock,
of Columbia College, to carry on a
series of temperature investiga-
tions as the hole is carried deeper
into the earth. The results of
these investigations are very in
teresting, and it is the opinion of
several well known scientists that
the ultimate result of the boring
will prove to be of widespread
economic as well as of scientific
value. Most significant of all the
facts so far ascertained is that the
well grows steadily hotter as its
depth increases.
It is the intention of the com-
pany to continue the boring pro
cess until something entirely new
and original is developed. This
may seem a crude way of putting
the statement, but it has long
been a theory among well men
lhat if it is possible to go deep
enough some new geologic condi-
tion of economic feature would be
found to exist. At the very least,
they claim natural steam would
be encountered or the well walls
would finally become so hot that
water could be pumped down cold
and pumped up in the form o!
steam, and thus the natural power
of the future be obtained. At any
rate, there is material for much
speculation, and the interest be
comes greater in increased ratio
as the drill descends, and a start
ling event is expected to happen
almost any day. One remarkable
feature of the well is that the gas
found near the surface i3 now need
to operate the powerful engines
which do the drilling. Thus the
natural power already issuing
from the well is utilized for the
purpose of deepening it.
