ANOTHER PRIZE.
Capture of C Schooner Loaded with
Provisions for Spaniards.

KEY WEST Fla, July THE small
Spanish schooner Galito. loaded with lum-
Der, hardwood. chickens, pigs and provisions
OF all kinds has been captured by the aux
Hilary gunboat Eagle, and was brought in
here to-day. The capture was effected on
Tuesday last, east of Cape Popo, Isle of
Pines.
The Eagle was on the blockadng route in
the vicinity of the Isle of Pines, on the
south Cuban coast, and was keeping vigil
liant lookout for the blockade runners On
Tuesday, while moving westward from Ro-
sario key to Cape Francis, she sighted the
Gallito about five miles out She imme-
diately gave chase, and the schooner ran in
until about quarter of a mile from the
shore, when she dropped her anchor and
those aboard slipped over her side and
swan ashore. Ensign j. H. RoyS and a
crew of eight men from the Eagle were sent
in a small boat to board the schooner. They
found her deserted, and, while examining
her, were fired upon by her crew from the
beach. Several rifle shots went through the
schooners sails but one was injured
The Eagle drew closer in and sent half a
dozen shots from her siX-pounders towards
the boat, whereupon the Spaniards disap-
peared. A prize crew put aboard the
Gallito and she was brought here.

TURPIE WENT TO SLEEP,
And Representative Steele Added g.
500 Votes to His District.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 7-Senator Turpie
has at last awakened to the fact that he
was outwitted by Representative Steele in
getting provision in one of the apprOpria-
ton bills to enable the soldiers at Marion
Home to vote at the election next fall 1t
took him a long time to find out how it was
done and he is full of wrath The provision
was voted into the bill by the House, and
when 1t got to the Senate twenty Democrat
ic hammers were raised to knock it out.
Senator Turpie headed the sluggers, and
when he saw the proposition rejected he
went to sleep, thinking his work had been
completed. The rejection of the provision
by the Senate merely threw the matter into
conference and it was restored by the con-
ferees. Buried snugly away in the body of
the long appropriation bill, it passed both
houses without being noticed and became a
law. That it went through without detec-
ton seems marvellous. None of Senator
Turpies colleagues has the hardihood to
tease him personally over his failure to de-
tect the gold brick that was being worked
off on him, but in the cloakrooms his dull
ness is being made the subject of many
Jests. That the Democratic watch dog
from Indiana should have assisted by his
blindness in giving the Republican party ia
Major Steele's district $500 votes is regarded
by Republican and Democratic senators as
a huge joke

lcan committee, is spending a day or two
