NAVY FOR CUBANS
Insurgents Buy a Vessel and
Have 1t Fitted Out as
WarShip.
CARRIES A TRAINED CREW.
Cargo Of Small Arms and AM
munition Also Taken
Aboard.

PHILADELPHIA, July 80. The Press
publishes the following: By Tuesday
or Wednesday of this week there will
be in Cuban waters the largest expedi-
tion from this country that lhas yet
left. 1t will be under the command Of
General Enrique Collazo, who arrived
In this country about July 6 and since
has been preparing for this expedition.
The ship is fitted out as a war vessel
and is capable of speed Of II knots an
hour, and has made l9. About 10 days
ago trial trip was made off Sandy
Hook. She was at once accepted and
the money paid over. Clearance pa
pers were obtained and the vessel put
out to sea. A contingent of about %
loyal Cubans, skilled shipwrights and
experienced men-of- warsmen, sswere
shipped ON another vessel and trans
ferred to her
On the High Seas.
Rapid firing four and six-inch guns were
purchased, and these, with two gatling
guns, were sent out in the same vessel,
and by the time the boat reaches Cuban
waters she will have quite formidable
battery in position.
What is needed more than anything
else by the insurgents is said to be
aboard the vessel. There is said to
have been loaded from this city 5000
Remington rifles and $4,000 pounds of
ammunition. The rifles and ammuni-
tion are said to have been shipped TO
this city by the manufacturers, or
rather to point near this city and
loaded on vessels at points down the
river and bay. They were then carried
out on the high seas and then trans
ferred to the vessel purchased by the
insurgents. Everything was completed
for sailing on Saturday night, and the
vessel is now believed to be on its way
to Cuba

Japan Increasing Her Army and Navy to

ST. PETERSBURG, July 29.-Advices
to The Novoe Vremso from Vladivo-
stock says that Japan is assiduously
raising her army and navy to war
footing. Two cruisers, bought in Peru,
have already arrived, and crews will
shortly be sent to England to bring out
three iron clads, each of 10000 tons.
which have been ordered there. A
strong and warlike temper prevails in
Japan.
This correspondent further says that
the Jananese imperial body guard have
been sent to the Island of Formosa,
where the rebels are supported by the
viceroys of Southern CHINA, who send
them arms and ammunition to main
tain a stubborn resistance. The
Japanese have blown up the fortifica-
tions at Port Arthur.

THE BANKRUPT BILL.

The New Orleans Times Democrat thinks that a bankrupt measure of some kind will be one of the important ques- tions before congress at the approaching session. It says:
 "A national bankruptcy bill will un- doubtedly be one of the revivals of the session. and the chances are that the Torrey plan, with the involuntary bank ruptcy clause eliminated from it, will form the groundwork of the measure that will be considered. Many people will hold that, the involuntary clause being one of the essential features of the Torrey bill, the reintroduction of the Torrey bill without that famous clause will resemble-to adopt an original illus tration-the performance of Hamlet" with the role of Hamlet omitted. But the Torrey bill, even without the involuntary clause, has more good features than any other bankruptcy proposition now before the country. and the passage of 1t even in it's mutilated state would be distinct gain to the business interests of the United States. The irresistible opposi- tion that it met with in the house com mittee on judiciary last congress may be taken to signify that involuntary bank ruptcy is regarded by representatives as an infringement of personal freedom and that that feature of any national bank ruptcy scheme may as well be dropped altogether"

Natures Gentlemen.

An exchange says: A few weeks ago a gentleman going through a crowded part of the city of Glasgow, Scotland, noticed a pale faced little bootblack waiting for hire Touched by the delicate look of the child, he thought he would give him the backing of his boots to do. Accordingly. he gave the little fellow the signal The boy at once crept lamely toward the gen. tleman, and. as he pulled himself along, was nimbly supplanted by another boot black, who was immediately ready to be- gin.
 Whats this for?" said the gentleman to the intruder, somewhat angrily.
 'It's a right" said the newcomer brightly "Jamie's just a. wee while out of the hospital, and the rest O us take a turn about O brushing for him."
 Jamie smiled pleasantly by the way of assuring the gentleman that his com rade's story was true.
 The gentleman was so gratified by this act of brotherly kindness that he gave James friend whole shilling for his work, telling him to give six pence to Jamie and keep the other six pence to himself.
 .tNa. ma, sir" quickly replied this little hero; giving the shilling to Jamie and hurrying from the spot-"na, na, sir, nane O us ever take any Jamie's siller."

 As to the listing of the Maine to star board, this is not a matter of importance. IL can be easily corrected by adjustment of weights in loading. The Atlanta and the Boston have both proved to be very servieeable ships. but in each of these there is list nearly double that of the Maine, and this Is also corrected by load ing. These vessels both list when un- loaded about degrees, or nearly double the list of the Maine The old frigate United States, which was a splendid ves- sel in her day, was required to be trimmed 28 inches by her head to get her full speed.
