Costumes are seen which are entirely en-

ton to Admiral Sampson, who released
the vessel.
Just after the New York had ex-
changed salutes with the Italian war
ships, two schOoners were sighted in
shore from where the New York and
the Italian lay. and the flagship signal
ed the Porter TO go after them. The
torpedo boat glided over the water at
a very rapid pace and passed almost
under the bows Of the Bansan on her
capture Of the Mathilde. AS she ran
the Porter fired shots from her
6-pounder across the bows Of both
schooners. One of them came about
Immediately, but she proved to be a
fishing boat and was released. But the
Mathilde was more obstinate and prob
ably did not appreciate being stopped
by what looked like a toy boat, or else
she failed to understand what the Por-
ter wanted her to do. But, when two
more shots We're fired from the torpedo
boat the Mathilde came about, and the
Porter ran alongside, informed her she
was seized by the United States and
promptly took her prize in tow and
started off to the flagship with her.
The Mathilde was loaded with barrels
Of rum, was sunk almost to her rails
and the Porter had much difficulty in
dragging the heavy schooner through
the water. Nearly the entire crew of
the New York assembled on the deck,
and as the Porter came up with her
prize, they gave her a great cheering.
The DauntleSS was ready to leave
for Key West and Admiral Samp-
son asked the dispatch boat to tow the
prize to that port for him, which was
done, a prize crew from the New York
being placed on board the Mathilde.
There was a strong wind blowing and
a heavy sea running all the way from
Havana to Key West, but the Daunt-
less ploWed through the water with her
tow, which had her rails under half the
time, with great volumes Of spray
dashing over the sailors and marines
from the New York, who sat on top of
the SchOOner'S cargo, each man ready
with his rife to prevent any attempt
that might be made by the schooner's
own crew to cut loose from the Daunt-
less. The latter made the run of eighty
miles. from off Havana, to Key West,
with her tow, in eight hours, arriving
at Key West before midnight.
THE CINCINNATTS PRIZE.
Key West, April 24-Ensign Christy,
with a crew of sixteen from the cruiser
Detroit and four from the flagship,
brought into port this afternoon the
captured Spanish steamer Catalina,
Captain Fano, 3,491 tons, which left
CadiZ March 1th, and was bound from
New Orleans for Barcelona via Havana
for which latter port she was making
when taken. The Catalina was cap
tured about o'clock this (Sunday)
morning, twelve miles from Havana.
She was taken by the cruiser Detroit.
When the first shot was fired the cap
tain made desperate effort to escape
his pursuer and the chase was prOlOng
ed for eight miles. Finally solid shot
brought her to. She is carrying a
cargo of 5000 bundles of slaves.

CUBAN REFUGEES

American Flag.

Kingston, ia, April 24.-The United
States consul at Baracoa, Cuba, AL
fredo T. TRAY, his wife and two chill
dren, two Spanish merchants and
twenty-five Cubans and Spanish
Americans, mostly women and chill
dren from Guantanamo, debarked
from the Ely here today, after twen-
ty-four hours quarantine. When the
steamer left Guantanamo on Friday
last a Spanish mob, including many
soldiers, filled the public square and
adjacent streets, yelling Death to the
yankees Several American flags were
soiled, torn, trampled and treated with
elaborate unmentiOnable indignatieS.
Some naturalized Americans were COM
PEELED to take part in the insulting
work, on the threat of death if they
refused.
Orders to the Spanish army declaring
the armistice ended were publicly post
ed at Guantanamo last Friday. Two
days previous the troops began concen=
trating at the principal seacoast cities,
abandoning all the interior towns and
plantations, in many cases burning
them. The passengers by the Ely be-
lieve the devastation of that part of the
island will be completed before the
Spaniards.
Ordinarily there are 1000 Spanish
soldiers at Guantanamo. Now there
are 1000 there. New defenses, earth
works chiefly, are under construction
and the mounting of field pieces is in
progress. Two rapid fire guns, one
rapid fire three FOUNDER and four an
, cient models have been received.
| Mr.. TRAY, American consul at Sara
coa received a letter from Santiago
friend, dated April 18th, saying that
the American consul had left the week
before and advising him to leave. The
coasting steamer San Juan happened
to be in port at Baracoa. Mr.. TRAY
sailed with his wife and children and
with only two handbags for baggage
| leaving the consulate unoccupied anC
the business unprovided for. When he
! reached Santiago he claimed the pro-
| lection Of the British consul anG
asked why he had not been looked af
ter when all other consulates were di
rected to reach Jamaica at the earliest
opportunity. He stayed at hotel ir
Santiago for week unmolested and
then the British consul got him and his
family safely to the Ely.
| Mr. TRAY says he has been treated
shamefully. AS there is no telegraph
at Baracoa, he did not know what was
happening on the outside. 1t is assum
. ed. as he is an American, that he viii
lay the matter before congress. He does
! not know who was to blame. Accord.
| ing to his statement, the southern coast
| garrisons have been weakened tt
strengthen the defense at Havana
Last Thursday the San Juan sailed
from Santiago with regiment, and
another coast steamer, pressed into
service by Spain. took troops the same
6ay from ManZeniilo for Havana.
II was reported last Thursday a,

uated by 2,000 Spanish troops.

Hanged by His Friends.

At Ballarat a ruined gold miner once
committed suicide in a dramatic man
ner. During the time of the gold rush
a certain deserted claim was for years
held sacred, and the tools strewn about
the windlass were left to rust away
untouched. A party of varsity men,
old schoolfellows and of gentle birth.
had sunk their shaft there and worked
without success until their money was
spent. One evening one of them at
work at the bottom Of the shaft shout
ed, Haul up, boys, the time is come
at last" They hauled up, and when
it came to the top they found their
comrades lifeless body hanging from
the chain. He had detached the bucket
tied a moose about his neck, fastened
the moose to the chain, and was hang
ed by his dearest friends. The party
had been much liked and respected by
the other miners, who would readily
have subscribed 1000 ounces Of gold
dust to give them fresh start, but
ere the dawn of the next day the whole
party had disappeared, leaving their
claim in the same state as it lay at
the time of the tragedy.

being engaged for the time on shore.

on the promise that they would bring
him back some oranges. One of them
disappeared and the midshipman suf-
fered consequently for it. More than
twenty years afterwards Jerrold was
looking in at a window in the Strand,
when he seemed to know the face OF
a weather-beaten man, who was doing
the same thing. Suddenly he remem-
bered, and put his hand on the others
shoulder. My man, he said, you have
been long time with those oranges
The sailor recognized him, turned
white, and took to his heels"

GAMBLING FOR BIBLES.
A Curious Mediaeval Custom Kept Up
In the Ancient Town or st. Ives.

N
In the Ancient Town OF st. Ives.
On Tuesday, in accordance with the
annual custom, there occurred at the
ancient town of st. Ives, in the county
Of Huntingdon, ceremony which, IL
not absolutely unique, is as curious a
relic of ancient times as may be found
in march Of many days, says the ST.
James Budget. On first thought it
seems that the sight of six little boys
and six little girls dicing in a parish
church to win prize of a bible must
be unique, both in the past and In
the present. 1t is certainly unique
enough at present, but for the salts
faction OF historical accuracy 1t must
be said that, connected with the church
OF st. Lawrence, at Reading, there ex-
listed at one time a dicing ceremony
for the encouragement OF good maid
servants. But the rattle of the dice
has so long ceased at Reading tnat
st. Ives can claim to stand alone in the
present. The queer old custom start
ed in this way: AS far back as the
year 1875 a bequest of ESQ, invested in
/ land, was made by an eccentric DR..
Robert Wild, of Oundle, Northampton
shire, for the purpose Of distributing
six bibles yearly among twelve chill
dren. 1t was stipulated that six boys
and six girls should cast dice for BIZ
bles during divine service every Whit
sun Tuesday morning. When the GUS
tom was first carried out in 1893 the
dice was ratified on the altar. This was
done for many years, but about half
century ago the incongruity of the
thing was too much for the reigning
vicar and during his time and ever
since tho throwing has been done on
an ordiLary table placed in the center
aisle
Is ''7y, this is how the ceremony is
performed nowadays: At about nine
o'clock in the morning the vicar or his
curate appears with the church war
dens in the center aisle. Some ordi-
nary little table is procured from
neighboring cottage; then III file six
nice little boys and six nice little girls,
who take up positions near the table.
gin competing with three boys and
then half the girls compete with the
other half in like manner. Each COM
petitor throws the dice three times and
the church wardens keep the counts.
The unsuccessful six then go on trying
until they win, and although one might
become a very old hoy" or girl be-
fore that happened, fortune is never
known to have frowned on any of the
dicers for longer than five years. The
successful six, who are presented, ac-
cording to the price stipulated with Z
shilling bibles, stroI ely bound in leath-
err are expected to attend divine SER
vice in the evening, when the vicar, OF
course, improves the occasion. Near
the church is situated a patch OF land
still known as bible orchard" The
Church of All Saints, in which the GER
emony takes place, is an interesting
structure and contains a great quantity
OF Norman work, the original building
having been erected by the abbots of
Ramsey, who also constructed the an
cient bridge which still crosses the
sluggish bosom of the Ouse.
