Senators Express Themselves over Money
for the Naval Review.
WASHINGTON, March Am item in the
naval appro priation bill of $500, 600 for the
expenses of the international naval review
in celebration of Columbus year caused
good deal of talk in the senate yesterday
which seemed to be for the purpose of
letting senators hear themselves to a great
extent for the item went through, after
all, with hardly negative vote. Informa-
tion as to the necessity of appropriating so
large sum was asked by Vest. He was
told by Hale, in charge of the bill, that in
vitations had been extended to foreign ma
tions to send ships of war to participate in
the review. 1t would be an imposing and
stately spectacle. A large item of expense
would be the employment OF temporary
searnen (the navy being now hard up" for

Matter That Troubles CockrelI
Cockrell read and commented upon
communication from the New York cham
Der of commerce signed by Henry Willard
IS chairman. asking the aid of congress in
the entertainment in New York of foreign
viiitors to the Worlds fair, and he asked
Hale whether the $780, 900 proposed to be
appropriated included anything for that
'illustrious and magnificent proposition.
Hale replied that he did not know exactly
what was wanted by the New York gen
tlemen who were represented by Willard.
but he had the impression that they want
ed the government to do some of the New
York entertainment of foreign visitors.
Referred Elsewhere for Information
"Why," said Cockrell, "the senator from
Maine does not suspect that these gentle
men are asking that the peoples money,
wrung from them by taxation, shall be
placed in the hands of millionaires of New
York to be expended in the riotous enter
tainment of every foreigner who may land
on our shores?'
Il do not know about that" said Hale
3The senator from Missouri can tell me
much more about Mr. Willard than can
tell him. Mr.. Willard is gentleman, well
known and favorably known throughout
the country. He stands today as a very
near representative of the new reform ad-
ministration. | do not know that he has
asked for anything, or that his New York
friends have asked for anything to come
out of taxes paid by the people. But
whether he has or has not, he does not
come to us. At all events the government
does not, OF course, propose to do New
York's entertainment. We cannot keep

in which they conclude that the whisky
trust is not trust in an offensive sense
and within the meaning of the law against
trusts and combines. 1t expresses its sat
isfaction with the methods pursued by
President Grcenhut and his associates, and
says tire company which they direct and

bill extending for one year the time of

tons.


New YORK, September 5-Had the
prize crew of four which brought the
abandoned Austrian bark Villa into
port known the nature of the cargo in
her dark hold they would have fled
from the ship, filled with feeling Of
dread which could not have been
greater had the Flying Dutchman APP
peared off their port bow
Below the decks of the derelict were
stored in bulk thousands Of human
bones and skulls, which had been col
lected on the deserts of Africa Much
rather would the four hardy sons of
Neptune have preferred seeing phan-
tom ship bearing down upon them than
be aboard of the lonely and dismantled
derelict with knowledge that her hold
contained hundreds of grinning skulls.
The Villa passed through the late
storms which dashed the coast and
tested the seagoing qualities of the
Steutest vessels. The fate of her crew,
including her gallant skipper, Captain
George Stanos, may never be known.
They left the ship, but when nobody
knows No scrap Of paper was left
behind which conveyed the slightest
intelligence as to the fate of the men.
The craft was deserted when the
prize crew went aboard. The cup
boards and cabins had been looted of
their contents. The sailors clothing
was gone, and even the bedclothing
had been taken. BY whom was the
vessel Stripped Surely not by the
Villas crew.
The superstitious mariners say that
an evil spirit followed the Villa when
she sailed from the ancient port OF
Alexandria, Egypt, for in her cargo
were the bones of famous Arab chie
whose body, when once buried, his
followers said should not be sturbed
The vandas who desecrated his grave
they say would be followed by the
Arabian curse.
The bones of the Arab chief were
exposed by simeon and were carted
with the bones of thousand other un.
fortunates who had persisted on the
deserts and in combats, to the hold OIL
the Villa.
The mysterious derelCt was sighted
at sea on Wednesday last by Captain
Nelson of the steamship Breidablik
His vessel was bound for this port, ir
ballast, The sails on the derelict fore
mast were spread to the brisk breeze
and she was bounding along at lively
rate. Captain Nelson could hardly
believe his eyes. Not a soul was
aboard in sight, and the wheel was I'M
dashed.
Suddenly the abandoned craft lufec
up in the breeze, her yards ratified, the
spread of canvas huttered and she wa.
motionless. Captain Nelson sent a
prize crew of four men aboard. The
ship was found to be deserted. There
was not living thing aboard Cap
tain Nelson could not explain the
mystery. She was in perfectly sea
worthy condition; her hull was as tigh
as cork and free from water
The derelict was taken in tow anc
the prize crew remained aboard. The
Villa was successfully towed into por
and now she lies at her anchorage of
Erie basin. Her prize crew has lief
her. When the matches were opened
and the grinning skulls met their gaze
they had no further desire to remain
on the Villa and returned to their COM
Portable berths aboard the Breidabllk.
