ground swell, lurched for ward, struck
again, was carried further by the seas,
struck the third time. and commenced
settling at once. The seas by this time
we're washing completely over the vessel
and the decks were quickly swept clear OF
everything movable. The crew had
taken to the rigging. most OF them in the
mizzen rigging. Within half an hour
after striking the hull broke In two. The
mainmast went by the board and this
started the mizzenmast, in which nearly
all the crew had takcn refuge for safety.
At this moment George Fraser, a sailor,
plunged overheard, preferring to take

over by the tottering mizzenmast. He
succeeded in catching hold Of the main

desperate struggle he succeeded In
climbing into 1t, his shlpmates In the
rigging giving him three cheers. After
helping webber and Mcmahon into the

SPANISH TROOPS May

NEW YORK. Nov. l9.-A dispatch to

ara feverish and expectant.
II Is a question with some observers
whether the trouble will yet come in
Cuba, or whether the ambitious soldier
politicians will mould the troops to their
purposes add hold them In check until
they return to Spain. The proposition
is not a complicated one, II they get a
fair amount OF the back pay that is due
them. tho troops viii remain quiet.
That many OF the battalions are ready
to mutlny Is apparent. These will be the
first ones placed aboard the transports

likely TO be FASTENED by this circum-
stance. The authorities have been slow
and have found preteXts for delay,
but when they themselves are threatened

II feasible to embark the troops with
soma rapidity.
Captain General Blanco is himself
anxious to return, but he cannot embark
till the preparations for sending back the
troops In Havana province have reached
a more forward step. He is said to be
urging his suborilnates to greater activ-
ity. At times there has been a probable

tain general. That probability is di-
minishing one

Felix Depaille, professor of music in

which happened in those bad old
days when scoundrels who were ex-
pert with weapons terrorized over a
whole city because the insane code
of honor compelled an inofensive
citizen to go out to meet certain
death at the hands of ruffian who
had wantonly insulted him.

uays we u1u NOT UNDERSTAND your
English titles, and we called him
Milor Sir Lord Booth. He was
young and very rich, and he roam
ed about France with his attendant,
who was his secretary, perhaps re-
naming day in one place, month
in another. He was a great, tall
man, with powerful limbs, but he
was lazy-oh, SO lazyl When he
seated himself, it was to sprawl on
three chairs. He looked upon us as
an inferior race and was very inso-
lent and arrogant, but spent lavish
"; also he disdained to speak our
language, which he called lingo, and
M. Pointon, his secretary, interpret
ed for him. Milor, assure you, was
we'll known in the city, where he
staid three weeks.
Now, at that time Pollinet, one
of the most infamous duelists, was
residing in Dijon, where he had
made himself feared, but when Mi
lor Booth came to Dion Pollinet, to
the relief of good citizens, was away
in Paris, and there were many who
hoped he might meet better man
than himself in the capital and nev-
er return. but they were disappoint-
ed. Pollinet returned, more insolent
than ever .
You must understand this Polli-
net professed to have the greatest
hatred for the English, whom he de-
clared were all brutal, ignorant and
clumsy, unfit for association with a
refined race and to kill whom was a
duty and service to humanity. at
that time you were not popular
among us-it is often so, my friend
and these sentiments we're looked
upon as highly patriotic and were
applauded by his friends. What
more natural than that on his re-
turn to Dion he was told OF the rich
English milor who was-what you
call-swaggering about the city in
his insolent way2
"Ahr said Pollinet. One of that
accursed race in this citya Well, we
shall see-we shall seel If it be pos
sible to force him to fight, there
