Divers i'm Their Investigations.
Havana, Feb 2S.-Little work was
done to-day by the divers from the tug
Right Arm. Captain MCGEE, who is in
charge. seems to lack authority from the
wrecking people or others, and is indis-
posed to work on his own
judgment, except in smaller de-
tails Captain sigsbee was on
board the United States lighthouse
tender Fern until o'clock this after
noon He waited for the Spanish divers,
but they did not appear. Captain Sigs-
bee thinks Spain has d moral and inter-
national right to make an Independent
examination, and he will give the Span
ish divers such facilities as are possible.
Captain Sigsbee hopes the survey
steamer Bache will return to the Tortu
gas tomorrow or the next day with all
the Names wounded left here. and he
also hopes TO send on the Bache here
after all the remains of the dead recoy
cred in a condition making 1t possible to
place in collins. The difficulty expert
enced in recovering the bodies is not
understood by any but the divers. The
latter worked three hours trying to
bring out one body intact and one of the
divers had "A bad fall and several got
their air tubes tangled. Even then they
could not extricate the remains The
principal efforts of the divers now are
directed toward clearing the upper
wreckage, smokestacts, decks. guns,
matches, bridges, cranes and gratngs.
Then. if at all, all the dead can be re-
moved.
Senator Proctor had decided to pay
his personal respects to General Blanco

companion, Colonel Parker, and Consul

A SWEET LITTLE IDYLL
How the Birds Dropped a Wedding Ring Into
JAMES, Lap.

It was d time for reminiscing, and it
was the "Reminiscences Of love instead
of war.
when 1 was twenty years DID," said
a veteran of many dollars, Il was
working on a farm in Massachusetts
not far from Springfield, where lived
a pretty little girl as poor as l was,
the daughter of u Methodist minister,
with whom l was desperately in love.
One day, under the shade of a big
tree in the churchyard, l told her how
much there was in my heart and how
little there vas in my pocket, and
asked her to marry me. She was sew
enteen and silly, and she consented on
the spot. For an hour or more after
that we sat under tie tree talking over
the fair and foolish things that lovers
dream, when it occurred to me that
an engagement ring was the correct
thing for such an occasion, and | bS-
gan b~emOaning the poverty which, pre-
vented me getting olo for the dearest'
hand on earth. 1t was ui''"'r'''v tru -,
too, for l really did not have Ga s.gh
money to buy a tin ring, much less the
only kind l thought jamie ought to
have. But jamie didn't care for the
ring. She said we ought to thank
Providence that we had each other,
and let the old ring go. She was on
the point of saying more, When she
stopped suddenly, gave Il little scream

gold ring with q small diamond flash

we wondered whe-e 1T had come from,
and though we knew thai me day OF
miracles had passed we We're both IN
clined to think it was Il blessing from
Heaven on our sweet and pure love.
There was no one ia the tree to
have dropped it as a joke, but as it
could not have reached us by any
other way than from above we pro-
ceeded to search the tree. Nothing
could be seen from the ground, II l
climbed up, and there, over in he fork
above us. high up, l found a birds
nest building, and knew that the build
ers had picked the ring up somewhere,
for various bits of colored ribbon and
rags huttercd about the nest. One or
these pieces of silk jamie recognized
as the trimming of a lady's gown who
came to see her mother, and we de-

if it belonged to the lady. Thithcr we
went, happy as two children, ana
jamie went in and l waited outside.

German Understanding Of Receiver"

A few days ago a case was In n
of the courts that involved a recelver
for a building association. The
plaintiff was a highly respected Ger
man who knew what he wanted, but
in Some manner the attorney had not
taken the steps that his client desired.
When the plaintiff was on the stand
his attorney examined him at length.
During the examination the old gen
tleman became excited and answered
the questions in such a way that the
Judge was under the impression that
he didn't thoroughly understand the
questions and answers. He declared
that he didn't want q receiver, that
he didn't want his attorney to take
the step, and that all he wanted was
his money.
At this point the Judge suggested
that the court interpreter be sent for,
that the German might make himself
more clearly understood. But he de-
clared that he understood what he
wanted, and that was his money, and
If he failed to get it he would kill him.
self.
To ascertain If he knew what he
wanted the Judge said:
"Do you know what a receiver is!'
Eyes, sir; 1 do, sir" said the honest
German. "He yos der man vot gifts
der monish und l gifts nottings.'
This convinced the Judge that the
plaintiff know quite we'll what he
wanted and what he was talking
about. So the interpreter was dis
pensed with, for the time being, at
least.
II guess" said the Judge, in con,
clusion, ''he knows about as much
about a receiver as we do
