utilized for the erection of stands for
spectators.
All the public reservations between
the White House and the capitol have
been turned over To the people who Sc
cured contracts from the inaugural
committee to erect stands. The con-
struction and decoration of these will
be uniform and on a scale never before
attempted. Some attention TO artistic
effect has been given, SO that in place
OF rough board structures that met the
eyes at previous inaugurations. hand
some covered platforms will be the
order. The bases of these stands will
be painted in representation of a classic

If Gen. Lee should come away from

..Why. Gen. Lee himself is almost
a daily witness of the Spanish cruelties,
but he can not help it. You know that
Weyler issued an edict for all of the
country people to concentrate in the
cities. Well, there are large number
of pacificos whose homes and products
have been burned by Weylers troops,
and they have been obliged to live on
herbs and such growths as they could
gather for subsistence. knowing that
they would stagve to death if they went
into the city. Well, these people are
arrested by Weyler's men, and when
brought into Havana are marched
across the plaza in front of the
American consulate and in full view of
Gen. Lee. but they don't come back
again. There is well-known ditch
where the bones of many of these fell

Ruiz. it is only one of many instances
of the violations of the treaty,
which provides that within -
hours of the arrest of an American
citizen the American consul shall
be informed for the purpose OF
making an examination of the case.
But what do the Spaniards care about
SO small a thing as treaty, especially
when the Washington administration
is so Indifferent about il? Indeed. the
American can not expect any protec-
ton against the cruelty and barbarity
Of the Spaniards in Cuba"

WONDERFUL FEAT.
Ii Ia Unparalleled In the History of Deep
Sea Diving.


Sea Diving.
A few more facts about the recovery
Of the specie from the Alfonso NIL,
probably the most remarkable deep-sea
diving effort on record. are sent 10 us
by Mr.. Henry G.. Il. Vaughan, Clap
man. The vessel sank off Point Gando.
Grand Canary, at about four O'Clock in
the afternoon of February II, 1885, in
fine weather, having probably struck
on Gando rock She had valuable
cargo and ten boxes cnch containing
10000 newly mintcd Spanish gold Give
duros) pieces, each of nearly the value
of an English sovereign. This specie
was stored in a small triangular room
or lazarette in the run of the ship
that is, just over the screw and below
three decks-and it was subsequently
found to be at a depth of 90 2-3 fathoms
or 100 feet. The best professional
opinion then fixed 25 fathoms as the
practicable limit of continuous deep-sea
diving. There were three diyers-Alex-
ander Lambert, David Tester and Fred
erick j. Davies. The specie was below
three decks, which had to be pierced.
The idea of making hole in the side OF
the steamer by an explosive was ADAM
doned, the fear being that the specie
might be scattered. Lambert recoy-
cred seven boxes. Tester two boxes and
Davies none. The diver had to descend
into the lazarette and lift the box, weigh
ing nearly two hundredweight, in his
arms on TO the deck above, the pressure
upon him at the time being about 20
pounds to each square inch of his body.
This is said to be feat altogether
unparalleled in the history of diving.
and proves what heroic fellows these
divers were. They showed the highcs.
pluck. endurance and tenacity through
out the operations. Lambert made 81
dips. being submerged altogether 9Oj
minutes. his longest immersion being
20 minutes, including going down and
coming up. Tester made 46 dips, being
submerged during col minutes, lis
longest immersion being 20 minutes.
Davies made 80 dips and was sub
merged 293 minutes. his longest INNER
sion being 90 minutes. but he could not
get so low down as the lazarette, the
pressure being too great for him. Tester
had one bad fit. Lambert was for a
time paralyzed in his legs. Two subse-
quent unsuccessful attempts were made
by contractors with the underwriters,
On the principle of mo cure no pay" to
recover the last box. Probably this last
10000 will never he regaincd.
The divers were paid good wages and
FIVE per cent. on all the gold recovered.
In addition to this they were of course
boarded and bonus of so was given
for each box recovered. Lambert re-
ceived & 4,0ss. Tester / ,375 and Davies
f275. The underwriters estimate Of
the cost of the salvage before commenc-
ing the operation was 16 per cent. The
actual cost was 1922 per cent 1t is
possible, though not probable, that
slightly deeper depths may be reached
in the future, but it is doubtful whether
there will ever be a more heroic diving
record than that Of the Alfonso XII =
