SUBMARINE BOAT HOLLAND.
May be Utilized in Blowing Up
MORO Castle.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Secretary
Long has announced his intention of
purchasing the Holland submarine tor
pedo-boat, on Assistant secretary
.Roosevelt's recommendation, notWlth-
standing an adverse report made by
three naval officers, whc were delegated
to make an examination of the vessel.
The department is convinced that if the
boat were allowed to go the French
Government would purchase it.
Mr.. Holland proposes to place the
boat in immediate service at Havana.
He has offered his services to the Gov
eminent as commander, and says he
can have a picked crew on board and
be in Havana within ten days.
Hs proposition is to utilize the boat
in blowing up MORO Castle. Owing to
the location and peculiar construction
of the fortress he says his boat can do
this without difficulty. The boat can
also be used to great advantage in de-
stroying submarine mines in Cuban
waters &sg
Mr.. Hollands offer is under advise
ment at the Department.. 1t is highly
probable that the vessel will be sent to
Havana to join Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet. Tt can be placed on one of the
battleships or cruisers and carried
without difficulty to Havana harbor,
where 1t can be put into active service.

GENERAL COPPINGER.
Held in High Esteem by the People
of Mobile.

MOBILE, April 81. General Cop
pinger and the Federal uniform have
become as dear to the people here as
the memory of the Confederat gray.
April Goth is the Memorial Day of the
South. When the memorial services
were at their hight a little band of
officers wearing the gold and blue of
the United States rode quietly out of
the camp where the regular troops are
now stationed near Mobile. When the
horsemen reached the grave yard that
holds the Confederate dead they halted
with bowed heads before the green
clad mounds. The leader of the troop
was Brigadier-Gener Coppinger. His
followers were members of his staff.
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 Confederate
dead. The incident has wiped out the
last lingering trace of antipathy to-
wards the North in these parts. Cen
eral Coppinger's name is on every ones
tongue, and none can speak too highly
of him.

thorization the Governor telegraphed
to the Captain of every Kansas militia
organization directing that all army
clothing and all equippage belonging to

tee on bids for sprinkling the streets.
There were present Trustees Dolan,

Chairman Paine for the Street Com
mittee, handed in the following report,
which was read:

but one contract be awarded each bid
der.
Trustee Kent said many of the bids
were so low that after paying for horse
| feed the bidder would have nothing left.
All bidders should clearly understand
that In case their contracts were not
fulfilled to the letter, their bondsmen
would have to bear the brunt.
Trustee Devine thought the sugges-
! ton a good one, but believed that bid
ders understood their business too well
to shoulder contracts they could not
carry out In case they failed, how
ever, the board could press their bonds
men to carry out the work. He moved
that the committees report and recon-
mendation be adopted and the contracts
awarded accordingly
The motion was carried by vote of
6 to /. Kent voting no.
It was decided to withhold the checks
of all bidders until the next regular
meeting night, in order that should any
accepted bidders be unable to secure
bondsmen the next lowest responsible
bid might be substituted.
The committee appointed to report
on street lighting was given further
time.
on motion of Trustee Tebbets COM
mittee of three was appointed to devise
ways and means for securing a munich
pal electric lighting plant for the city.
The chair appointed Trustees Tebbets,
Devine and Paine as such committee

| o'clock Monday evening, at which time

Lafayette, the inimitable caricaturist

favorite and has many recalls. Sweet,
the piano tramp, is the most unique
genius who has ever appeared here in

QUEER KINDS OF FOOD.

Japan is a heavy shipper of out
landish foods to the new world. Ii
has practical monopoly of the nests
which are used in making birds nest
soup, which. by the way, when pre-
pared by an American chef, is the most
delicious fish of it's class in the world
II also catches and dries armies Of
devil fish, which are as popular in the
east as dried Goldfish in the west. In
fact, the two sea foods are very much
alike in flavor and differ chiefly in
their texture, the flesh Of the devil
fish being hard, compact and more
like muscle than that of the familiar
cod.
Tree mushrooms and sea mushrooms
are two other famous japanese edi-
bles that come to us across the Pacific.
They resemble mushrooms in their
contour and structure, but in moth
ing else. The tree mushrooms have
flavor Of wood bark, while the sea
mushroom boils away in cooking very
much as If il were made of marine
glue. In fact, it is made in Japan for
making vegetable gelatin for thick
cning stews and soups in very much
the same manner as we convert the
bladders OF surgeons and other fishes
into animal gelatin for a similar pur-
pose. Dried fishes are another i'm
pcrtant export from the land of the
nilkado.
