This message contained in a note
bearing the earmarks of illiteracy,
was found nailed with dark
cloth cap to the railing of the bridge
over West river on the Derby turnpike
yesterday afternoon by John Kelly Of
83 Eddy street. The mysterious
find was at once placed In
the hands of the Howard ave-
nue. police and Sergeant McGann at
once visited Al York street, but found
no one there who could correspond to
the author of the note. No name was
signed to the note and 1t Is possible
that the cap may have been placed
there for joke by some boys. Ser
geant McGann will thoroughly investi-
gate the incident till convinced that it
it is nothing more serious than boys

FIGHT OTBR A WOMAN.
Man Knocked Senseless i'm u Street BrayyI
Last Night.

AS result Of a fight which occurred
late last night on the old custom house
square at the foot of George street. one
of the participants was so badly injur-
ed that he was taken to the hospital
1t seems that one of the men, Benjamin
Ashton, was following woman named
Kittie Maroney and that she requested
him to leave her and go away. Ashton
refused to do so, however, and some
words ensued John Christie happened
to be near by and he took the woman's
part. A mix-up followed and Ashton
was soon knocked senseless. A police
man had arrived by this time and ,,lac-
ed Christie under arrest Both he and
Ashton were taken to the station house.
AS Ashton did not regain consciousness
there Police Surgeon Gompertz was
called and after looking him over ad-
vised that he be taken to the hospital.
DR.. Gompertz thought-it probable that
Ashton had sustained a concussion of
the brain by his fall when he was
knocked down.

The reported news of the return Of
the Spanish fleet to Cadiz put new life
into the squadron officers to-day. While
they have recognized that the strategy
board has made them splendid factor
in the war by the enforced stay here
and realize that their presence on the
coast has been the direct cause of the
return of the Spanish squadron to it's
own ports, they have chafed at their
idleness and the possible termination
of the war before they moved. To- day
the general belief is that Spanish.ndig-
nation may force the Spanish fleet to
sea and that Commodore Schley will
be allowed to display his acknowledged
skill and daring in active battle.
The New Orleans finished coaling to-
day and is ready for,sea. An assistant
passed engineer and two cadet engi-
neers arrived here to-day and Joined
the Brooklyn, and it is believed that
these are significant facts indicating an
early movement of the squadron. Cap
tain Higginson of the Massachusetts
tried his new automatic Maxim one
Founders to-day with great success.
On all the ships to-day fire and collision
drills and general call to quarters,
practically battle drill, occurred.
Commodore Schley watched all the
ships carefully and expressed himself
as we'll satisfied. The New Orleans
tried her big guns to-day and her OIL
GERS reported to Commodore Schley
that they were well pleased with the
working of them.
