.MONTSERRAT AT MATAyzAS

TCorrespondence of the Associated Press
KEY WEST. Fla, Aug. H. 1S9S.-The big
Spanish transatlantic steamship Montser-
rat, for which the ships of the American
squadron have been keeping sharp
lookout ever since the outbreak of hos
tilities, was bottled up in Matanzas har-
Dor just before the fighting ended, with
a number of warships guarding the en-
trance to prevent her escape.
The Monserrat was sighted by the ca
ble-repair ship Mangrove one night about
ten days ago. She was then creeping
stealthily along the coast toward the en-
trance to the harbor, and had almost
made her goal when first observed.
The Mangrove, which was several miles
away, crowded on steam and put after
her full tilt, firing as she went Twenty
seven shots from her six-pounders were
discharged at the Spaniard, but she al
ready had the advantage and got safely
into the harbor.
The Mangrove lay outside until the
tugs Hudson and Gncas came along and
they in turn were later relieved by the
Viking, Siren and other gunboats Of the
fleet When the Uncas left Matanzas at
midnight last Tuesday night, she plain
" saw the Montserrat in the harbor. The

TEXAS YOUNG AGAIN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 1898. Freshly
painted and looking as trim and neat as
if she had only gone into commission the
United tSates battleship Texas awaits a
favorable tide to be fioated out of the dry
dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The
needed repairs to her hull, uppersides, SUI
perstructure and machinery have been
completed, under the watchful supervi-
sion of Naval Constructor Bowles, and If
anything the war vessel is stauncher and
more formidable than ever.
The authorities at the yard expect the
other vessels of the squadron to arrive
by the end of the week and the cruiser
Brooklyn will probably be the firt to reach
the yard The new dry dock will be
ready to receive one of the vessels within
two weeks as the workmen who are re-
moving the cofferdam in front of the big
dock are now cutting away the last row
of high wooden piles which obstruct the
entrance.
The torpedo boat Dupont. which arrived
from Guantanamo last week, was towed
over to the dock at the foot of Seventh
street and East River today, for thor
ough over hauling.
The big refrigerator steamer Celtic is
still at the yard awaiting the arrival of
some additional stores. but will leave
within twenty-four hours for Key West.

THIEVES ACTIVE ON THE HILL
They Seem to Be Havir, Fun
With Captain McKaig.

Burglars were busy in the Bergen sec
tion last night. Sometime after midnight
thieves entered the home of William J.
Bunnell, No. 4S5 Berg 4 avenue. by enter
ing rear window and stole a diamond
frame bicycle from the basement. They
must have taken the bicycle over back
fences to escape with it, Mr.. Bunnell be-
lieves the wheel was stolen by two men
he saw walking around the house on Fri
day night last.
An attempt was made last evening to
rob the house of William Halsey, No. 2S6
Bergen avenue, while the members of the
family were at church. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halsey, on returning home from church
were surprised TO find a light burning on
the first floor They had left no gas
lighted. They suspected at once that
thieves had entered the house. Having
had an unpleasant experience with bur-
glars less than year ago they were
chary about going in until they were cer-
tain that the thieves were out. They,
therefore, waited in front of the house
while they sent and notified the police of
the Commanipaw avenue station
Detective Hottie and Patrolman Bettiger
were sent to investigate. They found that
thieves had been In the house and had
started to ransack it, but had been scared
away before they had an opportunity to
steal anything.
They had entered through a cellar win
dining room door, which was locked, they
forced open with a jimmy.

NEW PACIFIC AVE. BRIDGE
Workmen Began Today to
Tear Down the Old
Structure.

The work of tearing down the old Pa
cific avenue bridge was begun this morn
ing. The trolley cars now run over the
temporary spur which has been built and
the bridge is closed to general traffic
Trucks are obliged to cross into Lafay-
ette by the Johnston avenue bridge.
The contract for the bridge which is
now being erected. was awarded to the
firm of W. G. Triest. of Cortlandt street,
New York. In order to construct the
bridge the Traction Company were forced
to abandon the old bridge and spur cap
able of supporting one track was built
to the northwest of the old bridge This
was built during the past two weeks, and
was completed Saturday night.
Yesterday morning the cars were run
over the spur and will continue on that
route until the new bridge is completed.
This will be about the first of December,
according to the. specifications.
This morning the contractors put a
force of meh to work tearing down the
old bridge. This part of the work will be
finished in about week.
The bridge will be of the finest steel
and will be of two girder one instead of
with three as the old one was built The
cost is estimated at about 5000.
The building of the new structure will
not in any way delay trolley traffic on
the Lafayette route, or will it have any
effect on the gas and water mains. The
water main is on the southwest side of
the old bridge and a temporary platform
will be built on the northwest side on
which 10 rest the gas main.

received from General Macias an acknowl-
edgment of the notification.
General Miles also sent forward MiclSler
with a flag of truce. to bear the intelli-
gence to the Spanish commander at

now that the end has come though or
ders have been issued to make the troops
as comfortable as possible during the in
terim. The transports that have arrived
are being disembarked, no orders to the
contrary having been received.
General Miles says Aibonito would have
been his within four days, had not the
protocol been signed. General Wilson was
already moving to turn the enemy's right
flank at Aibonito, when the President

eral Brooke was pushing into the rear.

Bismare,x on Journalism.

Prince Bismarck seornfully defined
journalism as only printers ink on paper.
1t was at moment, | make no doubt,
when the press was expressing, on some
high matter, view contrary to his own.
Then he would belittle 1.-THE never stop
ped at means when he wanted TO dis
credit an opponent. But Prince Bis
marck, the most masterful and wide
reaching intelligence of his time, is,
among other things, student. He has
been a great reader He would hardly
describe the writings of Plato or Goethe
as only printers ink on paper. Does he,
then, mean that to the making Of news
papers there goes no great amount of
thought or ability? And if he means
that, how is it that never in the whole
history of politics. diplomacy, statesman
ship, government has any man made
such constant Use of the press as Prince
Bismarck himself? He has always known
how to find the instrument he wanted.
Sometimes it was a king, sometimes a
Moltke, sometimes the press of Germany.
Perhaps, therefores we may neglect even
Prince Bismarck's S dictum. An influence
which throughout Europe and America
is so great as that Of the press is not
to be- disposed of by an epigram.--Har-

METHODlSTS TO UNITE.
.Rumors That Grace and Emory
Churches Will Consolidate.


There is some talk in church circles on
the Heights about a proposed consolida-
tion of Simpson and Grace Methodist
Churches. The ministers of both churches
are out of town and so are nearly all of
the trustees, so that nothing definite could
be learned about the proposed conolida-
tion. Some of the members of Simpson
Church who were interviewed upon the
subject expressed surprise. and a few said
1t was news to them and they scarcely.
believed there was good foundation for
the rumor.
Others said they would not be sur
prised if a consolidation Of the two
churches was brought about. rGace
Church is an offshoot of Simpson. In
ternal dissension subsequently disrupted
the young organization, and an inf1uen-
tial faction started what is known as
Willing Workers Mission at Marion. The
proposed improvements in connection
with the elevation of the Erie Railroad
tracks will oblige Simpson Church to look
out for a new building site The build
ing now occupied by the Simpson congre-
cation is old and somewhat dilapidated.
There are members of the congregation
who believe it within the bounds of prob
ability that the two congregations men,
toned will reunite and erect new church
building.

WILL TEST DOG ORDINANCE
Lawyer Peshall Asks for
Warrants for S. P. G. A.
Men for Stealing
a Setter.

Lawyer Charles J. Peshall applied to
Police Justice Potts in the First Criminal
Court this morning, for warrants for the
arrest of George Mccarthy, President
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and Philip Seidell, an
officer of the same society and dog ward
en- of Jersey City. He charges them with
stealing a valuable Irish terrier dog. the
property Of Mrs. Fisher, of No. 1010 Sum-
nit avenue. He also applied for war
rant to search the public pound. which is
controlled by the S. P. C. A. for the dog.
The animal was picked up on Saturday last
by the dog catchers because 1t did not
wear a Board Of Health tag to show that
it had been licensed Lawyer Peshall
means to test the constitutionality of the
ordinance by virtue of which dogs are
seized on the streets and are destroyed for
not being licensed.
Lawyer James Manning. counsel to the
S. p. c. A., was notified of the proposed
application and at his request Police JUS
tice Potts deferredSaction until this after
noon. Lawyer Peshan in speaking of his
move against the Board of Health and
the S. P. G. A., said:
The dog warden by an arrangement
with the Board of Health goes around the
streets picking up dogs. He takes them to
the shelter of the S. p. c. A., where they
are kept until their owners call for them.
The owners have to pay for their keep or
they cannot recover them. If dog is
not called for within certain number of
days he is destroyed. I hold that the
Board of Health has no jurisdiction over
dogs The statute of 1898 provides that
the city authorities may levy tax on
dogs. but it also provides that the tax
must be levied before May and must be
collected in the same manner as other
taxes, by the City Collector. 1t also
provides that the proceeds must
go to the general fund. The Board
of Health cannet deal with the mat
ter unless it is a nuisancea and it can
not license a nuisance. An opinion has
been rendered in a similar case by Su-
preme Court Justice Jonathan Dixon 1t
is found in 2Sth Vroom, the case of Null
cahy versus the City of Newark. New
ark had an ordinance similar to that
enforced by the Board of Health of Jer-
sey City. Justice Dixon held that the
statute of 1898 repealed any local ordi-
nance which confiicted with it. The opin-
ion was sconcurred in by Justices Lippin-
colt and MCGEE. In another suit of a
like character was brought against the
City of Elizabeth, Justices Lippincott and
Garretson affirmed the decision of JUS
tice Dixon and annuiled the ordinance.
If my move before Police Justice Potts
falls I shall certforari the ordinance to
the Supreme Court.

RACHEL MORRIS CAUGHT.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Aug. is, 1895. Miss
Rachel Morris, of Clarendon, accused of
being accessory to the murder Of John
Orr. is believed to be in jail here. For
some days admission to the Jail has been
absolutely refused those not officially
connected with that institution. Reliable
persons passing the Jail observed a young
white woman seated at the window of a
room which is occupied exclusively by
women.
While the authorities deny that Miss
Morris was in the jail they decline to ex-
that she is held as a murderess.
