COMMODORE HULL8 OOMMAND.
At the Poiut of a Gun He Forced His
Son to Jump from Il Mast.

At the Point of a Gun He Forced His
son to Jump from Mast.
AS walked the deck, wrapped to the
eyes in warm oyercoat auo protected
by huge SOU wester, | thought of the
thrilling incident which occurred on the
Constitution when she was lying at an
ChOr, on previous occasion, OIL a milder
coast than The bleak shores of New Eng
land. 1t was in Port Mahon, then one of
the Mediterranean stations of our CruI-
sers., Commodore Hull was in COM
mand. He had with him his son, a
bright, active lad Of 10 or Il.
one morning, when the Commodore
was on shore, the boy began TO play with
the pet monkey OF the crow. The mon
key suddenly snatched Oft his cap and
started up the rigging with il. The bOy
pursued, and after a lively chase sue
ceeded in recovering the cap, which he
hung triumpautly on the Iopgallant yard
arm, aud then sat on the yard to rest him
self. He then took ii into his head to
''shin' up to the main truck. This is a
small wooden disk which caps the top of
a mast; it has sheave holes through which
run the halyards that hoist the colors to
the masthead. The truck OF the Cousti-
tuition was perhaps sCant foot in diam
eter Having reached the truck, the fool
hardy lad proceeded to climb on to it and
actually stand upon the truck, perched in
the air one hundred and eighty feet above
the water. In European men Ot-war the
stays reach up TO the truck, and sailors
who have tried this perilous feat have
been able to get down by means of the
stays. But the stays of the Constitution
did not reach within five or six feet of the
truck, and there was no possible way for
the Lad to climb down. His death ap-
peared inevitable. The whole crew stood
aghast with horror, every instant expect
ing to see the boy lose his balance and
fall, when he must be crushed upon the
deck.
In the meantime someone on shore had
carried to Commodore Hull news of his
sons perilous position. The man who
had uuailed not when the balls OF the en-
emy's batteries sung about his ears,
tremb bled now. he sprang into his boat
and ordered the crew to pull off to the
frigate as il for their lives, On reaching
the ship ne ordered a musket to be
brought to him. Having cooked il the
Commodore aimed the gun at his son,
and tierCely shouted:
Jump, or pll shoot youp'
The lad hesitated moment; then, per-
halns, for the first time fully realizing his
awt ul peril, he gathered himself together
and sprang out to clear the side of the
ship. With the rush of a hawk driving
on it's prey the boy plunged into the sea,
fortunately feet foremost. AS he rose to
the surface dozen sailors plunged in to
bring bim on board.
After ascertaining that his son had re-
ceived u o serious injury, the Commodore
took him into the cabin, where, 1t IS said,
after Ger tain paEernal admonitions, the
lad received some timely and wholesome

CUBA's LAST HOPE GONE.

One of the Leaders Captured and
Others Reported Killed.
HAVANA, April I5.-Maceo is captured,
and Cuba's last hope is gone. Crombel
has been killed. Without these two lead
ers all is chaos in the insurgents ranks,
and liberty's most ardent friends admit
that the Cuban cause is lost. The Spanish
authorities are posting bulletins, and the
loyalists in Havana are celebrating the
end Of the revolution.
Without Crombel and MaceO there can
be no real war. On Saturday the Cuban
army and the Spanish soldiers met at
PHlmarito The rebel forces nam bered
1000 men, while that of the Spaniarls
5000. A desperate battle followed, and,
according to official reports, Ia sted two
hours. At the end of that time the rebels
retreated and were pursued by the Span
ish troops and Maceo captured. His Sec
retary was also taken, and all the per-
sonal and private papers OF General
Maceo were cOntiscated.
The battle was hard fought one, and
the insurgents battled desperately against
odds. The Spanish soldiers resisted with
remarkable courage the onslaught of the
rebels. In the battle. a hand-to- hand
conflict, number of Cuban officers, ONE
of whom was a Colonel, were killed.

INCOME TAN LAW.
Petition Asking for a RehearinG 1
fore the Supreme Court.

Petition Asking for a KeheartnG Be-
fore the Supreme Court.
WAsHINGTON, April I5.-Copies of
! the petition asking a reheariug of the in
come tax question were handed around
to members Of the United States Supreme
Court to-day. There were no proceedings
in open court. The petition sets forth
the imperative need of a final determina-
ton by a full bench of the questions on
| which the court was equally divided.
Dissatisfaction with the decision of the
court seems to be general, and it is be-
lieved that the administration will do all
IN It's power TO secure a hearing OF the
case. The Government, however, viii
not consent to a re-argumenJ OF any par
tlcuIar question involved, but will insist
that II rehearing is granted the whole
case be re-argued.
The only point decided Sby the court
which meets with the approval OF the
Government is that eXempting from the
| tax incomes from State and municipal
| bonds. The rent exemption is being
vigorously attacked, and the contention
is made that if the late decision stands,
persons who paid the Sl5, 900, 600 collected
during the war on incomes on rent have
at least an equitable claim against the
Government tor restitution.
The petition for rehearing sets forth
that the court has decided two points OF
the law, as to rents and municipal and
State bonds, yet no judgment has been an
nOunced authOritauyeIy establishing any
principle for Interpreting the act On the
following three points:
First-Whether the void provisions in
validate the whole Act.
Second-W hether as to the income from
personal property as such the Act is un-
constit utiouaI as levying direct taxes
ipH- T,ft , ,n =
not considered as a direct tax, is invalid
for want Of uniformity.
The petition continues: The appellants
may we'll urge that these serious con-
stitutional questions should be finally
decided before their trustee expends their
funds in voluntary payment of the tax.
In addition, 1t IS manifest that until de-
Cision is reached the courts will be over
whelmed with litigation upon these QueS-
tiOns, and the payment and collection Of
the tax will be most seriously embar-
rassed.
In conclusion, the petition asks that
the cases be restored to the docket for re-
argument upon the question upon which
the contest was decided. In case this Is
denied, the petition asks that the court
below may be directed to determine.
first, whether or not the iuvalidity of the
statute in the respects already specified
renders the same altogether invalid and
second, whether or not the Act is consti-
tutional in the respects not decided by
this court.
Attorney-General Olney and Senator
Edmunds were in court in the interest
of the Government and the appellants,
respectively. 1t is generally believed
about the court that its decision on the
case will not be announced until next
Monday.
A letter has been received here from
Justice Jackson, saying he will not be
able to come to Washington this term.
This makes it beyond question that a
rehearing of the income tax case, if or
dered, cannot occur before next October

medium, Peter West. All sorts of rumors
have been flying since Saturday, when
he failed to appear from Escondido, where
he went to spend two days. Among the
reports circulated was one that lady,
widowed against her will, had paid the
medium $500 in jewelry and cash to seek
out her errant husband and the $50, 900 he
took with him. Investigation showed
that scores OF people, mostly women, had
peen voluntary patrons OF the medium.
a constant stream OF visitors called at his
apartments, and at the close of day the
seer would call in a man living in the
house to assist him in counting his money.
Vests income for the first three days he
opened up business here was $500, and he
received steadily from 500 TO $75 per day.
President Rogers of the Spiritual So
ciety read letter from West at Sunday
nights meeting, in which the seer said he
must go to Denver to receive the young
man Harry Waite, who was in trouble,
and he asked for the prayers of the dear
brethren and sisters'' in his mission, and
lntlmated that he would be back very
soon. The members of the society firmly
believe that their hero will return.
