restrain it from doing so.
1t is charged that the city not only did
not possess the authority TO issue the bonds,
but also that there was much crookedness
about the transaction. The bonds have
fallen into the hands of bona hde pur-
chasers, but under the ruling of the courts
parties buying municipal bonds do so at
their own risk. Attorney General Ketcham
has completed the brief unfolding the valid
ity of the bonds.

One can see the ,Rossow Midgets again
and again and find new enjoyment each
time in the wonderfully clever act of these
tiniest of men. Two very large audiences
made unusual demonstrations over the Ros-
sows at the Park yesterday. when they be-
gan a three days engagement. The aero
batic work, weight-lifting and three-round
sparring match all aroused enthusiasm, es-
pecially the last-named portion of the act.
The little men are quick as cats and box
like real fighters. They duck, swing. up
per-cut and do all the work with gloves
that scientific boxers do. A good olio COM
pany supports the midgets. Colby has a
clever ventriloquist act, and the introduce
ton OF Alice Way as a dancing doll is some
thing OF an innovation. She comes as close

is possible for an animate object to do.

failed.

TO FREE A FILIBUSTER.
Friends of Captain John ID. Hart Are
Working Hard for His Pardon
Anxious to Fight.

New York. April 81. The friends
of Captain John d. Hart are hopeful
that within few days President
Mckinley will grant his pardon and are
working industriously to that end. Hardly
a day passes that kilograms and messages
are not received by Warden Cassidy, Of the
penitentiary for his prisoner of filibustering
fame, and requesting that he be cheerful,
as many days cannot elapse until he Is
once more free man.
Captain Hart said last night that he
was in good spirits and. while he is COM
PEELED to abide by the rules of the institu-
ton as we'll as every other prisoner, his
health is much better than he expected it
would be.
When asked If he would offer his serv-
ices in the fight against Spain, the cap
tain's big eyes sparkled and his reply was:
What am I here for? My trial. con-
viction and Imprisonment are regarded as
strong evidence by some people that 1 have
been fighting Spain. Spanish officials in
this country were very anxious to have me
placed in the custody of Mr.. Cassidy. If I
were liberated should ask our government
to permit me to assist to remove the Span
iards from Cuba

MULE TRUST BROKEN.
Large Order for Mules and Small
Horses to Be F'illed-PrObably
for Insurgents.

st. Louis. April T.-The government has
broken the backbone Of the Missouri mule
trust by refusing to accept the bids recent
ly sent in for furnishing these animals
for the army.
The big dealers in mules in st. Louis and
Kansas City formed trust of their own
when the demand for the animals became
so brisk, and advanced the price about
s25 head. When the bids were opened
here it was discovered that there was
scarcely 20 cents difference in the highest
and lowest bids.
The bids We're forwarded to Washington
and word has been received that they
were thrown out, the newspapers having
announced trust Now there is wild
scramble to dispose of the animals at a
good deal lower figures.
Lieutenant Colonel Smith, United States
army, in charge Of the quartermaster's de-
partment at Jefferson barracks, near this
city, to-day received an order from the
war department. to buy 1,5OO small horses.
500 wagon mules and 500 pack mules. The
order stated that the animals were not for
use in the army. and left it to be inferred
that they are to be sent to Cuba for the
insurgents. This is borne out by the fact.
army officers here say, that small horses
are preferred by Cuban soldiers for cav
airy.

C0PPINGER MAKES A HIT.
Mark of Respect Toward the COnfed-
crate Dead Endenrs Him to
Mobile Hearts.

Mobile, Ala. April 27-General Coping
ers name is much spoken in this city to-
day and the Federal uniform has become
as dear to the people here as is the men,
ory of the Confederate gray.
April 26 is the Memorial day of the South.
When the memorial ceremonies were at
their height a little band of officers wear
ing the gold and blue of the United States
rode quietly out of the camp where the
regular troops are now stationed near Mo-
bile. When the horsemen reached the
graveyard that holds the Confederate dead
they halted with bowed heads before the
green clad mounds. The leader of the troop
was Brigadier General Coppinger. His fol-
lowers were members of his staff. This Of
fering of respect touched the hearts of the
people of Alabama. Never before in the
history Of the state had officers of the
Union army joined hands with the men of
the far South about the graves of the Con-
federate dead. The incident has wiped out
the last lingering train of antipathy toward
the North in these parts. General Cop
pingers name IS on every ones tongue
and none can speak too highly of him.
All is quiet in Camp Mobile to-day, where
1900 regulars are quartered. The only feat
ure this morning was a brigade drill and
review of the troops by General CoppinSer.
The men showed up in fine shape.
Preparations are making for a long stay
and the officers are of the opinion that they
may not leave for a month or two.

rrow relieved this apprehension consid-

erably.
The effect of the decree will be to compel
the Spanish fleet at Cape Verde to leave i'm
mediately. 1t is felt. however. that Portu-
gal has done her neighbor a good turn in
deferring the proclamation until Tomorrow,
as the Spanish fleet has been laying In
stores and coal for several days past. and
doubtless will be fully equipped and ready
to hail before the neutrality proclamation
forces them out of Portuguese waters.
Colombia is the only South or Central
American country which has thus far de-
clared neutrality. Spain has counted much
on the cooperation of Spanish American
countries, but there is no reason to doubt
that all of them will adopt a neutral posi-
ton.
Members of the diplomatic corps dismiss
the report coming from Europe that an
other move toward European intervention
will be made as soon as Spain suffers
decisive reverse. This is said to be purely
conjectural, as no such move has ,aken
form thus far by the exchange of notes.
Il is accepted as settled that no more
ships intended for the American navy can
leave the ports of those countries which
have declared their neutrality. This re-
suit is most serious in the case of the
cruiser Albany, now at the Armstrong
yards. in England. The view among 6ip-
lomatic officials is that neither the Albany
| nor the torpedo boat Somers can leave.
even though the United States flag was
raised over them before the proclamation
of neutrality was issued. 1t is said the
raising of the flag cannot avoid the mani
fest uses of the ship for war purposes.

EACH SIDE GETS A PRIZE.

Asiatic Collier.

Key West. Fla. April 27.-The Ambrose
Bolivar, little Cuban coastins steamer
taken by the monitor Terror last night eff
Cardenas, arrived here tonight. The Boil
war looked like a toy boat as the prize
crew brought her in. But the little Span
lard was richer than she looked. as was
learned when $4,000 of silver specie was
found stored away in her. besides a cargo
of bananas and 800 casks of wine. She was
bound from Port Limon. Costa Rica, for
Havana, by way of Cardenas. with seven
passengers and a crew of ten. Needless to
say, the Terror had no difficulty in making
the capture. One blank sufticed to bring
her to. Captain Luther Martin. with
company of marines, was put aboard to
bring her into Key West.
A shout of surprise went up when $4,000
in silver was discovered. This, her captain
declared, constituted the entire amount, but
further search revealed $4,000 more. Upon
her arrival at Key West, the silver was
transferred to the naval station, where it
is under strong guard.
About the time this capture was made,
the Norwegian steamer Uto. Captain Bryde.
from Philadelphia for Cardenas. with 1900
tons of coal. attempted to run the block
ade and land her cargo, but she was sum-
marily turned back to Key West, where
she arrived this afternoon.
The monitor Terror on Sunday took a
little prize, news of which was first learned
to-day-the Spanish schooner Saco, with a
cargo of sugar. Paymaster Sampson and
three men were put on board as a prize
crew and ordered to bring her here. They
had not arrived up to this evening. and it
is said the Saco had not been sighted. No
alarm is felt, however, as all the Spaniards
but the captain were taken off the schoon-
er. She may have been delayed by the re-
cent rough weather.

cial regiments Of yellow fever immunes for
service in Cuba. One such regiment has
already been recruited in Louisiana, and
Senator Caffery to-day presented letter

Great pressure is being brought to bear
from various quarters to secure the other
two regiments.
The secretary of war. it is understood,
holds that the practical value of immune
regiments is greater than the sentimental
and political claims of various applicants
for regimental honors. He wants 5000 i'm
munes provided for. and asked Senator
Caffery If they could be raised in the Gulf
states. The senator replied that he could
raise 10000 such volunteers in New Orleans

had the fever and all would volunteer.
