HAVANA, Dec. 25, 1926
''Last evening the American Ship can,o,
Capt. Watson, arrived in this harbour from w.
diz, and reported he had fallen in with and W..
boarded off Cape Antonio, by Com. por,s.s
squadron, consisting of one Frigote, one H.,
Of Var, tUo Briggs, and 0ne Schooner. Canaan
Wilson went over to the Commodore's shin anil
was requested by him to report on his arrival
that he tcas TO be fouad off Cape Antonio, and
to say he would be happy to see or meet ans ii
the Spanish Squadron that might be ready.A.
Portcr's old friend, Com. La Bordc lost no Tina
in accepting the invitation, by commencing 10
put in state of preparation his dsposable force
consisting of the Loyahy; q frigate ofthe largest
class, and the Arathusa frigate, and Hercules
brig, all crowded with n moiiey cre,r, made up
from the prisons and cells ofthe Moro Castle, &C.
With these vessels he got under weigh, and pa,
sed MS this moment. II is doubtful if he has
not gone to windward first, to fall in with Ii.
Casilda Frgate, and two briggs that went out
some days ago, to cruise tor some Patriot prwa,
teers of Mantanzas., think it not unlikely, as
La Borde is brave, skilful, and prudent officer;
but he can have no support; as his officers and
crew are the most ignorant, motley set Of crca.

experienced officer of the Yankee school, hav.
ing good officers, and a crew OF English and
.4nericnn sealncn. 1t is said that Porter has one
hundred men more than his complement on
board his o,cn ship, brought out to man pm.
yes: Taking into view the numerical force Of
La Bortle, you would say the Mexican Commo
dorc must be ouer,cheimed; but | am of opinion
if the squadrons come in sight, haJthe Spanisf
force will show no .fght, and that La Borde am
Porter will settle this business. So soon as in
formation arrives of the result of the business
YOU shall hear from me.

a ROMAN SAUCE.

The piedm0NtcSc Gazette relates the toll
lowing discovery recently made in cXcavat-
ing the ruins of Pompeii.
"TURlN, Nov. 23.
1--WE receive from Naples notice Of dis
covcry lately made in Pompei, which will
be highly agreeable to all our readers who
regard the memory of the Romans; this dis
coverp is absolutely new. In the recent cX-
cavatinns of a house near Treiionica, there
were found five glass Jars perfectly closed,
and placed in small wooden box these jars
being conveyed to the Royal Museum, were
carefully cleared of the earth which Coverl,i
the outside, and it was found that two of
them contained a thick and liquid substance
in good preservation, which, Oh accurate ex-
animation, proved to be conserat of olives,
prepared for the table Of some Pompcian
! Gastronome, eighteen centuries ago: they
are still entire which would appear marvel
4 lous If not fabulous, were it not confirmed
! by an authentic report. In another jar there
was a thick buteraceous sauce made OF the
roe of fish. His Majesty the King of the
Two Sicilies, being Immediately informed
of this unparalleled discovery desired to see 1t
and ordered an accurate analysis to be made
Of it.
"Perhaps the sauce here spoken OF is th'
famous Garum, the delight OF the ilastnou
Gourmans, os ancient Rome; it is know
that this suuce was made of the roe of fish
and therefore had much resemblance will
the substance found.

than to say, that they are of the species still
cultivated in the kingdom by the names of
Spanish Olives.
"rhs substance is much softer than the
olives; it is of greenish-yellow colour. it
has strong rancid smell, and in the mass
are small globues resembling the roe of fish,
but which strong magnifying glass cannot
well determine. This substance is on the
whole entirely analogous to that found with
the olives; it is composed of the same ele-
ments of oleaginous acid, and of that indie
terminate substance, in some degree analo-
gous to the sweet principle of fixed oils. 1t
should seem that originally it was no other
than olive oil containing some sauce (saisa)
rather than annual, since the distillation of
it has not furnished any compounds of azote.

Port Of Tosioa.-Nc are favored by
friend, with til following extract of letter
from his son il Europe, which gives an in
teresting account of the public works at that
port, corresponding with the sketch of our
senior Editor and embracing some subjects
worthy of observation. which time did not
permit him u eXamine.-f.N Y. Statesman.
AarSe2(r&, Oct IA, 1926.
"A visit tc the port of Toulou has engross-
ed much time and attention. After Brest it
is the largest naval depot in France, and is
indeed ast and magnificent establishment.
Nature tas already done much in forming
one of the finest harbors in the Mediterrane-
an, and the ambition of Louis 14th and of
Napoleon has not failed to add every thing
that art could DO TO render those natural adj
vautages as eIfcctual as possible. Almost
every thing necessary in the equipment of
ships OF war, and which is required for the
expenditure of the Arsenal is manufactured
in the establishment itself, such as canvass,
cordage, iron work and the like. These
manufactures and the other work OF the
yard OF course require an immense deal OF
labour, which is performed by about four
hundred galley slaves or convicts, under the
superintendent of large number keep
4 ers. In France, the system OF criminal u-
! risprudence is very mild and rarely involves
the punishment of death; but for great oifenc
es, the criminals are sentenced to hard labor
for life. or for shorter periods, according to
the degree of their criminality. In order to
employ the large number of criminals which
the numerous and dense population ofthis
country naturally affords, they send then to
their different naval arsenals where they are
fed on a healthy vegetable diet, and are kept
constantly well employ ed. Escape is scarce
. ly possible and is almost inevitably followed
by the criminals being brought back to full
fiji an augmented sentence. At Tculon,
there are five three deckers, ten ships of the
lne, and as many frgates, with some small
er vessels. Two ships ct $50 guns built in
1912, bv Napoleon, and called then the
"Austerlitz" and "Marengo," are now SC

appalling sutferings Of seamen, and the loss OF
property to individuals and the public, which arc
