PORT-AU-PRINCE:.
Attempt to Blow Up the Hornet.
She Fires Into the Boats.

New YORK, June l3.-The following
has just been received, dated Port-au-
Prince, May 30th: Recent mysterious
movements in the harbor give rise to the
belief that it is the intention Of the
Span;ards to blow up the steamer
Hornet, which has been lying here un-
dergoing repairs. Every night several
armed boats from Spanish frigate in
the ofiing pull into the harbor and re.
main near the Hornet till morning. A
few nights since two of the boats pulled
in under the steamers bow, and paid no
attention to Captain Walsam's request
to keep Off He then ordered his crew
to fire into them, which was done,
causing much confusion in the boats
and their immediate removal to proper
distance. What damage was done is
not known, but the boats have given
the Hornet wide berth since. But for
the fact that the Hornets great guns
were ashore during the repairs to the
ship, Captain Walsam would have tried
to sunk the Spaniards. The Hornet
has recently received some machinery
from New York, and is now nearly
ready for sea. Captain Walsam has a
well armed crew and keeps a sharp
lookout for the Spaniards, who are very
vigilant and mean to take him as soon
as he is clear of the harbor. The frigate
Isabella Catolica, which was for some
time watching the Hornet, has been re-
lieved by the Pizarro, whose beats were
the ones that were fired on by the Hor-
net. Captain Walsam gives it as his
intention to proceed to sea at all haz-
ards as soon as the Hornet can be got
ready.

New YORK, June l3.-The Times
special correspondent at West Point
writes that the presentation Of diplomas
to the members Of the graduating class
took place at noon to-day in the chapel
attached to the institution. None but
the initiated participated. For some
reason not ascertained it was kept
altogether in secrecy till a formal an
nouncement was made yesterday morn
ing. Shortly before y o'clock ING
President, Mrs. Grant, Miss Nellie
Grant, U. s. Grant, Jr., Major General
Meade, Senators Carpenter; Woods and
a host of distinguished personages who
are at present sojourning at West Point
proceeded to the chapel, which was
already we'll filled by large and
fashionable audience, comprising chiefly
the friends Of the cadets. 1t was maze
asemi-official a guarantee during the lore,
noon that the result Of the recent
examination conducted by the Board
Of Visitors with such great secrecy
would be made known and 1t was
generally surmised that the investlga-
ton was instigated with view to the
settlement of the troublesome dlthcul-
ties that have originated IN the eXpul-
sion of the two cadets, Baird and Fleck-
niger, by the remainder OF the corps,
in January last, for leaving the post
without permission and making a.
false representation to the senti-
mel. The President has already
announced his intention of reappolnt,.
ing these gentlemen, having punished
them by compelling them to remain an
additional year at the Academy. But
this action does not appear to nave
met the approval of the corps. In pre-,
sentlng the diplomas Major General
Meade delivered short address to the
graduates highly appropriate to the oc'
casior. Senator Carpenter also deliver
ed an address which was highly relish
ed. After the benediction by Rev. DR..
Sunderland, President OF the Board OF
Visitors, a Federal salute Of thirteen
guns was fired from Battery Knox. La
ter in the day the cadet corps was re-
viewed by General Meade and the exer-
cises Of the day wound up with a hop
at the West Point Hotel. The follow

Mike Ferguson TO be Executed Next
Friday in TOmpkins County,
Npw York.


New York.
From the Ithacan, June Q.
The execution of the criminal, Mike
Ferguson, according to the sentence OF
the Court, will take place on Friday OF
next week in Ithaca, \. Y. The case
excites little interest on account Of the
little prominence OF the criminal him
self, and because OF the general impres-
sion that his execution will add nothing
to the fair name Of our community.
The victims OF his foolishness and their
assassin occupied common ground OF
rank in society, and both being well
down in the scale our intelligent public
has found little in the case TO excite
either curiosity or indignation. Were
the wishes ofo people TO be respected
this criminal would be removed to
prison, and we saved from the degrad-
ing influence Of his death.
Ferguson is reconciled TO his fate.
He keeps up an ordinary good feeling.
although in conversing with those who
call to see him evinces a trepidation
and nervousness which show his mind
to be occupied with the terrible ordeal.
He is visited daily by religious coun-
sci, who are bringing to bear the eff,
cacy Of religion to soften the doomed
mans pathway to the grave. He has
given minute directions for the execu-
ton and for the disposition Of his re-
