was then again told TO wait Until instruc-
tions were received from Washington
As that had been the plea on which the
Hornet had been detained in port for seve-
raj months, Captain Walsman, as the chief
officer of an American trading vessel
threatened with violence by foreign
man-of-war in neutral waters, made n
formal demand Of Captain Allen for pro-
lection, which was refused until orders
were received from Washington.
The Captain states that trial trip was
made; that the Hornet steamed out five
miles and made good time. No efforts to
deter the Hornet were made by the Span
ish gunboats, and had there been suf-
ficent coal on board, the Captain states
that the Hornet would not have returned,
but would have attempted TO escape. The
day after the Hornet had made her trial
trip the Swatara left Port an Prince, but
the United States steamer Nantasket was
hourly expected in the port. Shorty after
this the Spaniards took occasion to make
outrageous demands on the Haytien
Government. The Captain Of the Churuca
through the Spanish Consul, demanded Of
the Haytien officials Of the port that the
Hornet should be delivered up to him
within thirty-four hours or he would take
her by force. They also demanded Of the
Hsytiens $4,000 in gold as an indemnity
for the coal and other expenses incurred
while watching the Hornet. These de-
mands were Indignantly spurned by Gen.
eral Lorquet, who, In the absence of Presi.
ing over the government of Hayti.
General Lorquet Immediately placed
fifty soldiers on Fort island, q battery o!
guns on shore. He was himself out on
horseback all night, ready to prevent the
threatened seizure of the Hornet. He ale
so despatched a special messenger to
Grand Gnave with intelligence of the
Spanish demands to President Saget, and
although the distance was about fifty
miles, the messenger returned within
twenty-four hours with the presidents re-
ply, Don't give up the Hornet under
any circumstances. Mr.. Bassett also &C
ted promptly, and demanded the active
protection Of the government for an
American vessel A meeting of the for
eign ministers in Port au Prince was held,
and they highly approved the course taken
by General Lcrquet. In spite of the
demands and threats made by the Span
iards, they made no attempt TO seize the
Hornet. On the 9Th Of November the
Spanish consul came TO Capt. Walsman
and told him that he thought he could buy
the Hornet for 100000, and that he would
give him Capt. Walsman) half the amount
If he would aid him in the purchase, and
would also give 81 900 for the crow. This,
as previous attempts at bribery, was indig-
nsntly rejected by the captain, who shortly
after, finding there was little or no chance
of getting the Hornet away AT present, left
for New York in the bark Trail d Union
on the 10th of November, arriving there
on the 4th inst When he left, the Span
ish war steamers Saragossa and Pizapro
were daily expected at Port au Prince, and
have since arrived there.

STORIES OF PUBLIC MEN.

More than twenty years ago made the
acquaintance Of David Hoffman, of Balti-

who died of apoplexy shortly after in the
city of New York, seventy years old. l
was introduced to him at the dinner-table
of Charles Jared Ingersoll, then living in
Walnut street, near Fifth, in the city Of
Philadelphia, an equally interesting char
acter, of more experience, if not pro-
founder learning, who was born in 1882,
and died Oh the l4th Of May, 1862, at the
great age of eighty. Marked deeply
in my memory of that afternoon were
two anecdotes CT General Washington,
whom these interesting Veterans
had known in their youth. Mr.. Hoff-
man, while playfully reminding his con.
temporary and friend Of his ancient fed
erallsm Mr.. lngersoil was one ofthe ablest
OF the democratic leaders ut the time |,
took special pains to illustrate his own
consistent attachment to what he was
pleased to call the doctrines and teachings
OF Washington, by relating how, as a lad OF
twelve, he had met the Father OF his Coun.

Baltimore. An immense crowd had as.
