YANKEE GRIT WON.
Spanish Threatened To Fire ON an Amer

spanish threatened Tn Fire ON an Amer
lean Vessel, but They Didn't DO It.
An interesting account Of dramatic
episode which occurred at Havana has
been received via Key West, Fla. The
American schooner Vigilancia put into
Havana to discharge cargo and while
there the Spanish authorities demanded
that Capt Mcintosh surrender Senior
Angel Fernandez to them on the claim
that he was subject of Spain. Fer
nandez said that he was a Mexican,
and Capt. Mcintosh refused to give him
up. The Spanish authorities then told
Mcintosh that if the vigilancia at
tempted TO go to sea with Fernandez
on board she would be sunk by the
guns of Moro Castle. Capt. Mcintosh
Immediately laid the matter before
Us. Consul General Lee, who compli-
mented him on his bravery and told
him to sail when he pleased. The con.
sui was greatly enraged and said, IF
the guns of Moro Castle sink your ship
American warships will lombard
Havana within afew days" Capt. Nc
htosh returned to his ship and Consul
Lee informed Weyler that the vessel
was going to sea and that if an attempt
was made to take off Fernandez or that
II the vessel was fred upon Spain must
take the consequences. The Vigilancia
then began to weigh anchor and pre-
pared to put to sea.
Spanish officials on board protested,
but Capt Mcintosh said in vigorous
language; ''D-n your objections; my
ship has been cleared. My consul has
told me to go to sea. am going and
l dare you to try to prevent me. Get
off my ship. And with that the Yam
kee roughly showed the Spaniards into
the waiting boats and the Vigilancia,
flying the stars and stripes, started for
the mouth of the harbor, which is com
manded by the guns of Moro Castle.
All was excitement in Havana and the
quays and housetops were lined with
hundreds of persons who expected to
see the Vigilancia fired upon. But she
was not molested, and Yankee grit
hSd won the day. The episode caused
more excitement in Havana than any
thing since the beginning of the war
and Gen. Weyler is almost wild with
rage at Consul Lees interference.

Spaniards Threntea Against Us.

Madrid: Commenting upon the state
ment contained in a dispatch from
Washington that President Cleveland
intends to intervene in Cuba in a man
ner tantamount to the recognition of
the independence of the insurgents,
the impartial, semi-official newspa-
per of the Spanish government, de-
clares that Spain ought to demand a
full explanation from the Washington
government. After denouncing the
"fictional neutrality" of the United
States the impartial concludes as fol-
lows: THE conduct of the United
States will arouse general indignation.
If Spain should remain alone in con-
flict with the United States, Spaniards,
by their own efforts, will know how to
mark the difference between the noble
defenders Of their own property and
the vile traffic brokers at Washington. "

Ono of the most curious agricultural
products known, if it can be placed in such
category is cochineal, the chief seat OF
which industry has for many years been
the Canary islands. Tho story of the estab-
lishment of cochineal culture in the islands
is a curious one. In 1885 native gentle
man became acquainted with the methods
pursued for producing this dye in Hondu-
ras, and brought with him from that place
specimens of the cochineal insect and the
cactus upon which it thrivcs At that
time the wine growers at the Canaries
Were hourishing, and no other kind Of in
dustry was believed in.
The culture of the cochineal was regard
ed as mad freak, and it's introducer met
With opposition on all sides. Then the
dreaded phylloxera made it's appearance in
the Vineyards, and ruin faced the vino
growers. They We're glad, indeed, to take
up the despiscd cochineal, and the old
vineyards were given up to the new indus
try with such success that in one year the
value of the exported dye reached not far
short Of FL 900, 900. The Introduction of
aniline dyes changed all this, and it is
feared that the coohineal industry can
never regain its former position in the
Canary islands.-Chanbers' journal

(From the Portland Advertiser. }

News of the death of Edward 81. FL
well, Jr., while not wholly unexpected,
comes with shock to his wide circle of
acquaintance. 1t is particularly sad that
q career of such promise should be cut off
SO early. Several months go Mr.. Elwell
became aware of his critical condition,
but sustained by cheerful and sanguine
disposition, no hoped for the best, and
latterly he had seemed in much improved
health. An expert medical adviser had
told him that, with care, he might live
for many years. Thus buoyed up in cour-
age and feeling physically stronger, he
had resumed work and was looking for
ward to renewed lease of life. Only a
few days ago his engagement to we'll
known young lady of Portland was an
nounced. But it was not to be. Death
claimed him suddenly, while away from
homo and among strangers, as death had
seizep his father before him. These cir
culnstances make the case particularly
saddening. Mr.. Elwell had chosen jour-
nalism for his calling and was already
making reputation for himself in it. 1t
was work to wnich he was specially
adapted. Inheriting the newspaper in
stinct from his father, who was for many
years the editor of the Transcript. he
brought to his chosen profession the en-
thusiasln, the faculty of throwing oneself
into the spirit of things, the eye for the
unusual and the picturesque, the grasp
Of detail, the insight into the heart OF u
matter, the intuition as TO what consti-
tutes news-in short, many of the quail
ties which constitute the good newspaper
man. Before he went to the PRESS he
had done considerable work on the Tran
script, and series of biographical
sketches in the lattar paper, entitled Pill
lars of Portland" showed Mr.. Elwell's
capability of research and attention to

{; series of graphic articles descriptive of
a bycicle tour in Jamaica and another
serial account of visit to the Atlanta
exposition, were conspicuous; while a

enthusiasm of student of natural his
