GEN. WHEELER'S HAT.
Has Worn It i5 Years and Will Probably Use It r Through Cuban Campaign.

Washington May 14.-There are few characters in congress, that home of queer neople. that are aueerer than Major General Wheeler.
 He is certainly mild-mannered man, and no one would ever guess him to be the fire-eater he is, in the first place he is only five feet six inches in height. and does not weigh over 110 pounds. He is jerky in his movements, intensely active always utterly devoid of pompousness or airs.
 General Wheeler possesses one of the most remarkable hats ever seen in Wash ington. It is not derby, nor fedora, nor the broad-rimmed black covering that southern statesmen in congress so much affect. The dashing old cavalry leader de- parts from all congressional customs in the selection of his top wear. which is an ordinary black hat such as boys in the country generally select. He has his special trademark in the way of creasing it. There is no longitudinal furrow lengthwise in this article of the generals apparel; 1t Is creased round and round to fit the shape of the head and to rest closely upon the crown.
 The general has worn this hat for ff- teen years, and will probably invade Cuba in it. When he takes it off he always puts it in his pocket.
 Wheeler was admitted to West Point as a cadet in 1854, when eighteen years old. He entered the regular army and on Sep tcmber 1, 1860, was made a second lienten- ant in regiment of mounted rif1emen, and assigned for service at Fort Fillmore, on the Rio Grande This commission he re- signed April 22, 1861, to enter the confed- crate service.

DIRT TO BE BROKEN FOR NEW GAS PLANT Before June 28, if Not at an
 Earlier Date. BIRMINGHAM GAS COMPANY Is StiIl Doing Besiness in the Same Old Way The Board of Aldermen Waiting
 for City Attorneys
 Report.
BIRMINGHAM GAS COMPANY

To all appearances the question of the people of Birmingham having cheaper gas Is just where it was on March 26- when the contract between the city and the new gas. company was signed.
 As is well known, this new gas- plant is to be a part of the bi-product coke ovens of the Sloss Iron and Steel company which are to be erected out on First avenue The company is working hard to get the their plans perfected, and at the meeting of the directors of the company the other day the whole matter was fully discussed. The war has interfered greatly with the float-. ing of the bonds with which the plant is to be erected, but the officers say that they think everything can be arranged and dirt broken by the time the ninety day limit expires on June 2S.
 In the meantime the Birmingham Gas company continues to do business at the same old stand and at the same old prices, and with the same old gas. As has been stated from time to time in The Age-Herald this company is In way putting itself in shape for the inevitable fight that is com ing when the new plant goes into opera tion. It is laying new pipe all along South Twentieth street between First avenue and Avenue F, and they will in the near future take up more of their old pipe and put in new The capacity of their plant is also being increased.
 The relations existing between the city and the Birmingham Gas company are just the same as they were when the city first decided that the gas company had violated its contract and that it's charter was null andiyoid. The board of aldermen are still awaiting the report of the city attorney on what are the proper measures for the city to adopt It is not known how soon this report will be rendered. In the mean time the company is operating without license from the city. If the city granted 1t a license this would be recognition or its charter The city is still using the gas furnished by this company, but it is under a. separate contract to the effect that this act on the part of the city will not in any way effect the legal relations existing be- tween the two parties. The company was given aspermit to lay it's new pipes through the streets with the same understanding.

X port of Hoard Gises Chisf Credit Z,
tho Captains,

the Csptains.
New York, Oct. ll.-Although the
American heet In the battle OF San.
tiaeo. July 3. obeyeti the general orders
OF Rear Admiral Sampson. given In ad.
vance to meet just such an emergency,
II was essentially a "captuins' fight.
This IL the substance Of the report OF
the Naval Board. which has been In.
vestigating the disputed points In the
battle.
The findings Of the board are sum-
marked ms follows:
First-Thc battle was fought and
won upon plnns prepared by Rear .Ad-
mlral Sampson.
second-The directing OF the move
men's OF ships done by Scficy during
the battle was inconsldernblc.
Third-Thc New York had no active
part In the fight.
Fou1h-rhe Brooklyn was not en-
gagged NJ so close quarters ns has been
represented by the first report On mn
average she wns two miles away from
the enemy.
Fifth-Thc brunt OF the fighting was
borne by the Oregon. Texas and Iowa.
Sixth-rhc New York was about
nine miles from the Colon when the
ship surrendered. and between four or
five miles from the nearest sister ships
engaged from which II signal distance
IL taken.
Scvcnth-The average range Of the
ships most engaged was about mile
and n hnlf.
Eighih-No American ship nt any
time during the battle was within one
mile of mn unsurrcndcred spanish ship.
The New York. the board finds. did
nothing to effect the issue Of the bat
tie. When the Coion's nag came down
the New York was nearly ter miles to
the eastward.
