heavy to keep up where he belonged
and that during the fight in front of
Santiago he was twelve miles in the

sent the seiee guns 10 the front the

Shafter with a mich COW and that

isn't she beauty" was the remark of
mild looking young man. dressed in tie
extreme of fashion, to a companion The
remark was ostensibly intended to be an
aside, but Miss Clemmons' quick car
caught it and half smile of qualification
played about her daintily curved lips.
She paused a moment, and before she
realized what had happened one of the
two young men slipped two neatly folded
papers into her gloved hand. and she knew
that she was served" The mocking
laughter Of the strangers rang in her ears-
Clutching the papers mechanically. she en-
tered her carriage and was driven away.
The papers were those in the suits Of an
actress named Mary Croxton.' who sues

ter known as Buffalo Bill" for $1.1a5. and
of Clifford Leigh, an actor, who says that
Miss Clemmons and Colonel Cody owe him

The claim of the plaintiffs is that they
were engaged for full theatrical season
In 1898. to support Miss Clemmons in her
play. "A Lady of Venice" and that they
were discharged without reason before the
season began. Each sues for full sea-
sons salary.
Miss Clemmons has been in state of
siege for many months. The suit could
not be pushed until papers had been served
on her, and she would not receive them.

the naval attache.
Washington. March 16.-Although the
secretary of the navy is still pursuing with
yigor his quest for suitable warships that
may be purchased In Europe, beyond what
We already secured at the Armstrong
works. no further acquisitions have been
made. At the navy department a high
officiai said: There do not seem to be
any ships in the market" This is not
exactly the idea meant TO be conveyed.
There are large number of ships in the
market. and many of these have been Of
fered to the department but, unfortunate
1y, the vessels are unsuitable in general
character for naval purposes. or else are
SO far from completion as to be undesirable
purchases. Perhaps better success may at
tend the departments efforts now that
Captain Brownson has arrived in Europe.
Meanwhile, 1t appears that there is a
much larger stock of vessels right at home
available for naval use than was generally
supposed. Many OF them will make very
efficient cruisers and gunboats equal to
vessels of the unprotected cruiser type now
in the navy. Such vessel is the yacht
Mayhower. acquired to-day. She can be
transformed easily. owing to her stanch
construction, into a good dispatch boat or
a small cruiser about equal to the Castine
class. although lacking the protective deck
of the latter.
Surgeon General Val Reypen, of the
navy, returned to-day from Newport News,
cability OF converting the Plant line steam-
er, GRAND Duchess, into an ambulance or
hospital ship for ufe of the navy in the
event of hostilities with Spain. So far as
the accommodations are concerned. the YES
sci, after some necessary work would
make an admirable ambulance ship. but
the lack of boilers, which it would take
several months TO replace. limits her adapt
ability for use at the present time.
There is no room aboard the ordnance
battleship. says General Van Reypen for
an accumulation of wounded men, because
of the manner in which they are cut up
into large number Of rooms and apart
ments. Accompanying fleet of vessels
engaged In war should be an ambulance
ship with adequate accommodations for
treating the sick and wounded with the
least possible jar and movement and
which, flying the flag of the Geneva CON-
rention. would he free from harm from
the fire OF any of the ships.
