AMERICANS ARE sNUBBED.
Admiral Benham was Treated Dis
courteously by Peixoto's Minister of
Justice and the Brazilian President
Refuses to Meet the American Min
lister.
Rio JANE1Ko, Jan. 26, via Montevideo,
that Admiral Benham, commanding the
American squadron hers, is acting in an
official capacity in an attempt to bring
about settlement of the troubles by arbi
tration. That he is seeking to bring the
troubles to an end is true, but he IL simply
acting as private cit;zsn. Admiral de
Cana, commander of the iusurgent feet,
made long Visits to the San Francisco, Ad-
mirsl Benham's flagship on Monday and
Tuesday and to-day General Carvalho. an
intimate friend of President P-ixoto,
cslled upon Admiral Benham. The situa-
ton was fully discussed.
Admiral Benham's comment on the ne
gotiations ia that Admiral ds CANA asks
too much and Peixoto will coneede too
little.
The minister Of justice. representing
Peixoto, engaged to meet Admiral Bsnham
officially at noon yesterday at the Ameri-
can consulate. The admiral was at the
consulate at the appointed time, but
the minister did not appear. After
waiting an hour the admiral left.
One hour later, an orderly from
the ministry went to the con ,ulate and
said that the minister of justice was en-
gagged elsewhere, but did not tender an
apology for his absence. All the officers
aud man of the American q Let are fairly
wild over the diseourteous treatment &C.
corded Admiral Benham by the minister.
Mr.. Thompson, the American minister,
hopes to make his first call ON Peixoto to
day. Hitherto he has been snubbed daily
and has found it useless to attempt to NEE

FURIOUS FIRE IN LYNN.

1t Broke Out About Midnight In a
Wooden Bloek-A General Alarm
Sounded-Tbe Wind Blows a Gale,
Driving the Flames Down the Block
Tho Fire Beyond the Control OF the
Firemen and at a Late Hour This
Morning 1t Was Burning Furiously.
LYNN, Mass Jan. 80, $50 q. m.-Fire
broke out in the Osborne block, Market
Square, at 11:45 O'Clock last night and an
alarm was pulled from box 232, followed
at 1910 by second alarm. The block was
triangular one, bounded by Western
avenue, Center street and Market equare
and comprised the West Lynn hotel, Well
man Osborne's shoe store and several small
one-story stores between. The entire block
was built of wood, was an old structure
and at an early hour 1t seemed to be
doomed.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
Wellman Oaborne's furnace in the cellar.
When FIRST discovered the entire block was
filed with smoke. The fire was hard to
locate and the fremen were at great disad
vantage. The Osborne storehouse CON-
tanned stock estimated to be worth$50, 900.
In the shoe store in front the stock was val
ued at $10,0 900. The occupants of the hotel
were wakened by the smoke which poured
in volumes into their rooms, and they es-
capped through windows on to the roofs of
the adjoining stores, half dressed, and were
thence taken down by ladders.
At 1870 a general alarm was sounded,
calling the entire city department to the
scene. The wind was blowing gale from
the northeast, driving the flames down the
block. The FIRE at that hour broke out
afresh and got beyond the control of the
local department., 30 that aid was asked of
surrounding cities.
At a. m. the fire ia still burning furi-
ously and is not under control.

HAS THE LOAN FAILED1

Report In Washington That Only
One-Seventh of 1t Has Been SUBJ
scribed.
WAsHINGToS, Jan. 20. 1t Is stated on
reliable authority that the subscriptions
to the proposed issue of $50, 100000 per
cent. bonds are exceedingly disappointing
to the administration.
Proposals were to have been received
until Thursday next, February 1, at noon,
at fixed price. At frss there WAS evil
dencs that the Issue would be over sub
scribed, but the question promptly raised
in reference to the legality of the issue
and the decision of the judiciary commit
tee of the house to present q resolution
protecting against the use of the proceeds
of the bonds excepting for redemption
purposes, has frightened off investors.
A number of the largest subscriptions
questionable authority that but little more
than one-sevsnth of the Issue has been
subscribed for. One statement fxes the
figures st 81, 000, 900 and another at even q
lower aggregate.
Fearing that the failure of the loan
would disattrously affect the credit of the
government Secretary Carlisle took the eK-
traordinary step of making personal plea
to the houss judiciary committee for con-
servative action, but the appeal went un-
needed, and there was nothing finally lett
for the secretary to do except to consult
the bankers of New York.
The decision was hastily reached after q
consultation with the president on Satur-
day last and 1t is generally expected that
the bankers will agree to subscribe to the
loan only on the same conditions upon
which they have heretofore purchased the
bonds of the government-namely, at 6
commission for their sale and purchase OF
| something like Q per cent.
While the secretary of the treasury hal
been bitterly opposed to making such I
concession to the banks, IL Ia now under
stood that he feels that congress has no
treated him properly in refusing to author
lie the Issue of per cent loan, ard IL
interfering with the proposed issue of
per cents, and that he Is therefore NJ
longer under any obligation to follow it
suggestion.
| He finds that the bankers of New Yorl
have the money and the DAuence. Their
is q more hopeful feeling here in view o
an expected prompt agreement between
the bankers and the secretary, which 1t |
hoped will result in the speedy distribution
of the proposed loan.

 no new developments on the part of the Confederates; heavy clouds were fast covering the sky, and evidently the night would be dark and favorable to the success of the expedition. Mrs. Hathaway and Hilda noted these cir cumstances, and their alarm of the evening before subsided.
 With bright faces they gathered around the table for an early supper; future plans, to follow necessarily if the expedition was a success, were ea- gerly discussed. and no one thought of the dark cloud already overshadowing them, for suddenly, and interIupting their conversation, the dining room door burst open, and a small black urchin came flashing in, exclaiming:
 ''Goliy, missus, wha s dat a-comin up de road?'
 For answer squad of cavalry wheeled rapidly up the grass grown road that led to the house and dismount- ed. Driving all the servants from their quarters into the mansion, the officer in charge said to the last retreating negro:
 ''Here, give our respects to your mis- tress and say that we beg permission to tarry few hours beneath her roof. No member of the household shall be dis turbed, but all must remain indoors"
 By this time a company of soldiers had appeared, and pickets were at once placed about the grounds and house, while the officers lounged upon the ve- randas and conversed in knots of two or

 ed lawns and walks in front, and the cluster of outdwellings behind to be found on every large and we'll ordered plantation.
 This estate, embracing many acres and numerous slaves, belonged, just be- fore the civil war, to Judge Waldo Hathaway-a man already we'll ad- vanced in years, but holding still an unrivaled influence in that region, and at that time representing his district in the state legislature.
 Judge Hathaway was, moreover, a man exceptionally we'll versed in politi- cal affairs, not only of his native state, but of the nation. Educated at the north and having travelled extensively there, he had learned to love and to be- lieve in his country-to use phrase often on his own lips-'a a whole and not in part" and consequently he held views respecting the great political agitation of his time as broad as they were unpopular with his legislative as- sociates.
 Already had he cast in his lot with the minority of the house and was strenuously opposing the calling of a convention to consider the ordinance of secession, , so loudly clamored for by the political leaders of the state. This act had brought him under grave sus- 'picion, and only his years of we'll known and unselfish devotion to the interests oG1 1,S, l. the open charge of disloyalty. ... -.
 The immediate household of Oak Bluffs-the name of the plantation consisted of the judge, his wife. lady many years younger than himself and one daughter, Hilda, the pride and pet of the whole plantation, and just bud ding into bright and lovely woman hood. ....
 There was another member of the family, Ralph Gasque nephew of the judge, but he held a lieutenant's com- mission in the navy and for some months had been stationed in foreign waters. To the fair Hilda, however, he was more than cousin, for just before he had sailed on his lapt voyage he had wooed and won her for his promised bride. Under the spreading live oaks, in which the mistletoe grew and four ished, and with the stars for witnesses, they had pledged their troths, each to the other, till death us do part.

her lantern, and then, once, twice, thrice, in rapid succession, she flashed it forth from under the folds of her dark cloak.
 70 God, make Ralph see the hght!" she cried.
 Again and again the warning rays flashed far out into the night, but no returning light from the cutters showed that they had been seen.
 But there were other eyes neverthe- less that did sec that light upon that point. Up at the fort that slgnal was observed, and great yell ot batfled rage arose from the watchers as they saw the gleam that thwarted their puprose.
 Those cavalrymen, too, dashing now down upon the beach, beheld the lan- tern rays and spurred their horses for ward to reach and arrest the fair maid that waved it. Back some rods, crouch ing now in their ambuscade, was also a body of men who beheld that flashing light. They can discern, moreover, the dark form that so consistently repeats the signal which baffies all their hopes, and score of men are instantly detail ed to advance and arrest the bold in- truder.
 The keen ears of ITiida detected their approaching tread. and she recognized her danger.
 70 God,' she prays again, make Ralph see the light ere they can reach mel"
 Then she swings the lantern frantic l o1No the bay there gleams light in answer. The signal is seen! Ralph and his men are saved!
 But what is that? The click of mus kets is heard, and the voice of the of- ficer of the detailed co1ps rings out in anger, "Take aim, fire!''
 The lantern drops from the maiden 's nerveless hand. She draws her cloak around her and silently bows her head to her fate.
 The next instant score of rifles blaze forth their deadly contents, and she falls dark and lifeless mass upon the sand.
 To tho honor of the Confederate sol diers it should be said that they did not suspect at whom they aimed their dead ly fire. They thought only of the foe that had thwarted their plans. When they bent over fair Hilda's lifeless form, and by the light of her own Ian tern saw whom it was they had slain, there was not an eye in all that com pany that could withhold the tear; not a man but would have cheerfully given his life to save her.
 The squad of cavalry had now ar. rived, and with brief and regretful ex. plantations they gently raised her uI and bore her sadly back to the home she had so recently left, to the widowed and now childless mother.
 As they laid her down upon her owr couch at the stricken mothers bidding, it was the youthful soldier who had al. lowed her to.leave the mansion that took with reverent hand from her bosom, where they were still lying, one of the roses, which she had promised to give him on her return. As he held it up tC the light he saw on its snowy petals g few drops of her lifeblood. From that hour he sacredly preserved the rose as a memorial of the sad tragedy his in discretion had caused.
 Three days later Lieutenant Gasque under flag of truce, was permitted to stand beside the widowed mother as she buried her dead. Just as the sun was setting they followed the lifeless form of Hilda out to the family burying place and laid her to rest beneath the live

 (JIIA DYED

CHAPTER I.
 There is long, low, narrow, sandy point running out and nearly cutting in two one of the smaller bays on our southern seaboard. Follow the shore to the west and south from this point, and it soon rises into rocky bluffs or ele- vated headlands. Follow it to the west and north, and it curves i1regularly for a few miles and then becomes the left bank of considerable river.
 From the extreme end of the sandy point one has an uninterrupted view up or down the bay, and signal light dis played there would be, even on dark night, readily discerned by any one watching for it, either at the head of the bay or from vessel ill the offing.
 Back from the point above high wa ter mark and firmly imbedded in the sand there is small granite block or post. One might at first think it had been placed there to mark some bound ary line did not a closer inspection re- veal on its smooth cut surface a small Roman cross, followed by the letters "H. H.'' and then underneath them the figures "1862. ;"
 This circumstance suggests that the stone may have been placed there ill commelnoration of some special act or event, and inquiry has disclosed that such is indeed it's purpose. It marks the place where brave young heart dis played heroism and poured forth it's love and life in a sacrifice seldom par aIle1ed. From one who we'll remem- bered all the details of the tragedy have received the following story:
 A mile or so to the southwest of the sandy point and directly back from the rocky bluffs already referred to stands a large old fashioned mansion house. Broad fields surround it, with the shad-
