disaster to our feet on the coast of Cuba,
recalls "reminiscences of the contest be-
tween our own States during the civil
war. The very first vessel in that conflict
TO capture a prize of value from the
enemy was named the "Winslow" She
was commissioned and controlled by the
State Of North Carolina before that
State formally allied itself with the Con-
federacy. The vessel in question was orig
inally the L. Il. Coffee, OF Norfolk, Va.
When purchased by the State of North
Carolina and converted into a gunboat.
she was renamed the Winslow. Her com
mander was Thomas Crossan, of North
Carolina, who had for his first-Ueutenant
and executive officer Patrick McCanick
of Norfolk, Va. Her career as a North
Carolina State ship, or as she was term
ed by the government at Washington, a
pirate, was more successful than that
of any similar vessel then operating on
the coast.

siastic in the matter of commanding |

called on Adjutant-General Cor |
bin to-day, but the latter was so over |

IN HAMPTON ROADS.
Colonel Marshall, President Oscar e.
Edwards, of the Norfolk Pilot Associa-
ton, and Mr.. George Z. Booker. acting
as a committee. and accompanied by
Senator Martin, to-day called on Surgeon
General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital
service, to obtain a modification Of the
quarantine regulations in Hampton
Roads. They presented resolutions
adopted by the Board Of Trade and Ex-
change OF Portsmouth, and of the Busi-
less-Men's Associations, of Norfolk and
Newport News. 1t is suggested that the
Chamber of Commerce OF Richmond also
adopt similar resolutions. They are as
'ollows:
Whereas, the quarantine station and
lospital-ship jamestown are now located
It Old Point Comfort. in this State; and,
Whereas. communication is constant
between the West Indies and these ports,
making 1t probable that many cases OF
'ellow-fever and kindred diseases will be
brought within the capes of Virginia;
nd,
Whereas, 1t Is right and desirable that
III possible caution shall be taken to
the danger from such diseases
o our people: therefore,
Resolved, That as matter Of precau-
ion and protection to Norfolk and ad-
AGENT ports, We earnestly and urgently
etition the Surgeon-General of the Ma 1
inc Hospital service OF the United ,
tates, as soon as practicable, 10 direct ]
he removal of the said quarantine sta
lon and hospital-ship from the present
,cation to some point below the Thin
le-light' in Chesapeake bay. the said
ONT to be so designated by him as that
II masters and pilots of incoming YES
els from sea may know the exact loca-
ion, that they may anchor properly
heir vessels for inspection"
Surgeon-General Wyman said, after
caring ths views of the committee, that !
g would give the matter due consider
ton. and he believed that he could give
ne cities the protection asked for. The
entlemen who are here are very anx-
'us that some action be taken by the Z
authorities on this subject, as
nat city Is as much interested as the /
hers. 49,
