MONTGOMERY AND NIZCAlA.
Rumor of an Interesting Incident or the
Coast of Hayti.

Coast of Hayti.
The Associated Press dispatches
published Monday morning gave ru'
mors Of an alleged encounter OF tn,
Mont tgomery with Spanish vesse
of much larger size.
One story was that people at Cape
Haytien had seen the Montgomery
going by at full speed, followed by
much larger ship, supposed to b.
the Nizcaya. 1t was suggested as q
probability that the Montgomery had
been sent out by Admiral Sampson
to scout the Spanish fleet, and thai
it was leading the Spanish cruiser
into trap.
Another story was told at Port AT
Prince, Hayti, by the captain of ;
French steamer, who said that he hat
seen the two vessels going at full
speed, the Spaniard chasing the Amer
lean. The vessels passed beyond the
vision of the Frenchmen, but afteI
while was heard the reports o
heavy canonading.
Still another published rumor which
could not be even traced to Il satisfac
tory origin was to the effect that The
Montgomery had been sunk by TIT
Nizcaya.
The Associated Press dispatchc
published Tuesday morning, gave m
additional facts or even rumors in re
gard to the alleged incident, and th'
probability seems to be that the who
thing is false.

THE ETNA FIRE
Insurance Co.,

OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, is
~ the strongest fire insurance company
in the United States, as well as one Of the
most liberal in its adjustment Of losses.
It is member of the South Eastern Tariff
Association and it requires no more
money to secure policy in it than it does
in any Of the smaller companies, besides
you can always feel assured that it will
be able to meet any emergency and with
stand the disasters of almost any contla-
grafton. In 1871 it paid fire losses in the
of $3,7S2,OOO, while there were over
100 companies crushed out of existence
and awarded to their confiding policy
holders in full, all Of the light, heat,
smoke and ashes, as consolation for their
folly and in consideration of their premi-
ums. Nine months later another conf1a-
grafton was born to the ETNA-the Great
Boston fre-and it this time paid its fire
losses without quibbling, which amounted
to SI,635,O67, and by their reports to
the insurance commissioner of Connecti-
cut, show total assets on January lst, Of
$12,OS9,OS9.9S!
True there are many other strong COM
panies, Il have four others) and there are
hundreds of clever agents but there are
no companies, or no agents who will ap-
preciate your business, or even part of
It, and treat you with more consideration
than 1, and companies have the honor
of representing in this vicinity. have
millions for your protection, and not one
cent will ever be kept from any of our
patrons unjustly. When you want fire
insurance on your property, consult with
me. My rates are as low as any standard
insurance, and better insurance does not
exist. Yours truly,
