Col. Warning.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
valuable paper of May 9 appears an Open
Letter 10 Col. George f. Waring jr. While
l am opposed to saying anything to injure
the feelings Of any old comrade, cannot re-
sist the temptation to resent the insult offer
ed by George +. Waring, jr., and from a
statement made to me by Comrade Simon
Gebert, Co. 3, 4th Mo Cav, which believe
to be true, / not only brand him liar, but
n coward as well. | have often heard it said,
put beggar on horseback and he would
ride to the realms of his Satanic Majesty"
and when such men as he acquire wealth
they are too apt to have a serious case of
ricketts,, or big head. Such is his case. Now,
propose to prove, if necessary, that while he
was Colonel of the 4th Mo. Cav. he never was
in battle. Maj. Heinricks was Acting Colo
mel at the fight at Springfield, and Col. Warning
was nowhere TO be found. At Pea Ridge
he was not to be found. He had bone in
his leg or q splinter in his thumb Mt
Sauser's Landing, on Little Red River, aud
could not possibly attend On that occasion,
and at Varuna Station, on the Mississippi,
he had the collie, or something that took him
so miles from his command. Where was he
at Okalona. Miss? Echo answers where?
Was he at Fort Pillow? Oh, no. that was
too rich for his American blood, and he came
to Helena after the fight was all over. In fact,
he was nowhere to be found when he was
wanted needed, only on dress-parades,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Daughters

Of the 18th Mass. who so ably cham pioned the

by the Grand Army of the Republic of this

| the awful crime of sending into eternity their
| helpless victims so short q time before, and
after taking the treasure found on board, not
| satisfied with that, made every man, woman
and child walk the death plank to 9 watery
grave, then scuttling the ship, left her to snk
| beneath the waters. Such is the statement
made few years ago by the old sailor referred
to on his dsath-be aud it is more than prob
able that his was truthful confession. For
| years past, when thinking of the matter at all.
| j have been convinced that the nature of our
| cargo was all that saved us from capture, aud
perhaps death, at the hands OF the ood-thirsty
| crew.
1t was understood at the time that the i'll
fated steamer had among her passengers large
theatrical troupe who were returning to the
| United States after successful tour in Europe,
and very probably were possessed OF goodly
amount OF what the pirates were in search of.
The question is sometimes asked, Why do
pirates resort TO such severe measures when
they have captured a vessel and are masters OF
the situation? After taking what they want,
why not let them go? The inference is that as
Dead men tell no tales" so those sleeping be-
meath the waves could make no further trouble
for the perpetrators of such crimes. Resistance
may have been made by the crew and passen-
gers Of the ill-fated steamer which may have
been an incentive TO revenge on the part of the
pirates.
1nelr metn0Q OF capturing VesSel Is very
simple judging from the manner in which
they took us in. As l said. they came for us
nearly at right-angles, running her bovsprlt
just forward of the m izzen-mRst shrouds hold
ing her bow in position, while her stern swung
rapidly in alongside and made fast by
grappling-hooks. 1t was all done so quickly
that resistance would have been useless on our
part Capt. Drummond had his wife with him;
and in giving orders to clear the deck, per-
haps he meant fight. bat without arms there
could have been but one result-that would
have been certain capture.
My story is finished. 1 was little chap
10 years of age at the time but remember SO
distinctly the events above narrated, and in
giving them TO you for publication in your
widely-crculated paper think perhaps they
may fall into the hands of someone who was
fellow. passenger with me and might remem-
Der the circumstances There was one young
man among the passengers j well remember,
very pleasant gentlemanly fellow He is the
only one on board, aside from the Captain,
whose name / remember. 1t was Yates. /
never hear the name OF Yates spoken but i
think OF him. II this should come under his
eye / would like to hear from him.

1t Didn't Work.

Harper Round IGbfe
lt-isn't always safe for small boy to take
his fathers jokes and games TOO seriously.
This was shown very plainly at one time by
the experience OF an Englishman and his son
upon railway journey which they took to-
gether. While the little fellow was gazing
out of the open window his father slipped
the hat off the boys head in such way as
to make his son believe that it had fallen
out OF the window. The boy was very much
upset by his supposed loss, when his father
consoled him by saying that he would
whistle it back" A little later he whisted
and the hat reappeared. Not long after the
little lad seized upon his fathers hat, and
hingirg it out of the window, shouted,
g. Now, papa, whistle your hat back again "

Torpedo-Boats and Their Attack.
HnTper's HecLIu1

Ships defend themselves against torpedo
boats by their secondary batteries and search
lights, and if at anchor they may employ
steel Dets strong enough 10 resist the passage
OF a torpedo. These nets are held at a dis
tance OF % or 80 feet from vessels side.
supported from the ends of booms carried
and rugged for that purpose. They are
heavy and clumsy, and cannot be employed
under way, since they greatly impede a
ships motive and manuvering capacity and
endanger fouling her screws; but they are
an efficient defense at anchor.
Search-lights detect the approach OF boats,
and show them to the gunners during the
attack; but the uncertainty of night firing
is so great that the value of the use of search
lights is in doubt. 1t has the enormous
military disadvantage of making the posi-
ton of the vessels known to the attacking
boats
A fleet lying in barbor will further de-
fend itself by sending out its own torpedo
boats to act as videts aud Outposts, to en-
gage and chase away the enemy's boats, and
in readiness for this duty boats are armed
with light rapid-fire or machine guns. Anew
type Of vessel, the torpedG-boat catcher"
has arisen TO pursue and destroy torpedo
boats with more certainty and success 1t
is SIMPLY an enlarged torpcdo-boat, which,
because of greater size and power, has better
speed and endurance, and is armed with q
battery of rapid-fre light guns.
Should harbor occupied by fleet have
narrow entrance, it can be closed against
torpedo-boats by a boom made of heavy logs
and spars dashed together. This boom ex-
tends across the channel from shore to shore,
and is held in place by moorings. 1t should
be protected by en6lading batteries and
search-lights on shore 10 prevent an enemy
from cutting it, OF blowing it as. or forcing
his boats over il.
The nervous tension caused by the char
acter of torpedo-boat attsck-their secrecy
and CELEBRITY, the blow in the dark-is prob
ably entitled to as much weight in estimat-
ing their influence in naval war as the &C.
rious destruction of which they are capable,
and which they would frequently accom-
plish. The chance of such attack will be
an ever-present anxiety to Admirals, Cap
tains and their subordinates; and how Ion
and how successfully human endurance can
meet the multiplied responsibilities which
| modern science has attached to war is a
problem yet TO be fully solved.

GEN. HANCOCK'S GRAVE.
Indignation in HIS Native Town Over the
Removal of His Body.


Removal of His Body.
For several years the front wall Of Gen
Hanoock's tomb at Morristown, Pa, has been
crumbling away. One of the persons to take
cognizance of this condition Of the tomb was
Col. i. w. Read, Surgeon-General Of the Penn
svlvania National Guard. A week ago Col.
Read, who occupied 4 very close relationship
with Gen. Hancock on the field and in private
life, gave orders for the rebuilding OF the
crumbing walls Mt his own expense. On the
day the contract for the work Was to have been
signed he received the following from Wash
ington signed ii. w. Spofford, Private Sec
rotary, QuArtermaster- General"
- am asked by Col. John Hancock Cthe late
Generals brother). who is i'll at present. to re-
quest you to take 10 action in regard TO any
expenditures Of money on the grave of Gen.
Hancock, as the Second Corps Association have
permission TO remove his remains to Airing
ton"
The order for the rebuilding OF the tomb was
promptly revoked. and since then all interest
in the matter has been centered in an effort to
have Col. Hancock recall his approval of the
plan TO remove the body.
The only other body in the tomb is that of
Gen. Hancock S daughter. His widow was in
tered in a cemetery in st. Louis in accordance
with her wishes. Ii is understood that the
Second Corps Association have also obtained
permission 10 disinter Mrs. Hancock's remains
and place them by the side of those of her hus-
band at Arlington. Mrs. Hancock was averse
to having her daughter buried at Norristown
and yielded reluctantly TO the desire of her
husband, being won over By his preference for
Norristown coupled with the determination
that his own and his daughters body should
lie side by side.
Tie tomb was erected soon after the death of
Gen. Hancock's daughter, and he gave minute
directions as to the details OF its construction
even to the inscription on the door. which, he
said, in letter dated Governors Island, n. Y.
July lS, 1883, should be Hancock" and be
placed somewhere on the inside of the vault"

violation of the wishes of the General as to his
