The Herald's correspondent at Port
Limon cables that at o'clock yester-
day eight ships were sighted about ten
miles from the port. Owing to heavy
fog it was impossible TO distinguish the
flags of the fleet, but from the size and
form Of the vessels it is believed that
thev were warships. The eight vessels
were going in a northerly direction,
and about 6:30 disappeared from view.

Will Maintain Secrecy.

WASHINGTON, May H. Gen. Gree
ley chief of the United States Signal
Service has adopted energetic measures
to prevent the Spanish squadron from
keeping posted on the movements of the
American squadrons. He has forbidden
the Haytian Cable Company from send
ing or receiving any messages except to
or from the L. S. government which dis
closes in any way the osition of our ships
This prevents press dispatches, but 1t
will be great Improvement over the
war policy which has been in effect
thus far, as it appears from all indica-
tions that the Spanish authorities have
had perfect knowledge of all the
movements of our fleets and thus have
been able to elude us at every point in
the Atlantic, while the L. S. officers
have been completely in the dark AS to
the movements of the Spanish squadron.

pressed here that it probably arose from
the report of the sinking of the Direlict
by the Wilmington.

WANTS THE VALUE OF A COFFIN
Society Suing Becnuse Its "DigitY
Are Pervaded."

society Suing Becnuse Its "Digity
Are Pervaded."
Messrs. d. H. Clark and +. M. oliver
have Just returned from the Ogechee els
trict, where they went to try a case of
unique and peculiar interest. before JUS
tice Cleary, of which the Morning News
gave an account sometime ago.
1t is the suit of the Young Peoples
Lone Star Christian Endeavor Society VS..
Rev. Hannah Brown and Jim Ferguson,
respectively pastor and deacon of a GER
tain church out in that section, all color
ed.
The cause of all the disturbance, Brother
Ben Fabin, now occupies a box some six
feet below the surface Of the earth. No
writ of re exeat or anything else could
bring him into court or anywhere near 1t.
The plaintiff society bought the coffin
at an alleged cost of $15 and was prepar-
ing to bury Brother Fabin one morning
when its members, arrayed in all regalia
marching forth with thoughts of solemn
ceremony, had their visions of a society
funeral rudely shattered by the appear
ance Of the defendants with the corpse
on the way 10 the cemetery. Kate Fabin,
the wife of the deceased, 1t is stated
wanted him buried before aisinfectants
were required, ana the society was just
too late by half an hour.
8. Thus sat upon by pastor and deacons,
the society employed Mr. Oliver to bring
suit for something or other, but just what
they did not know. A replevin suit for
the value of the coffin was finally insti-
tuted in Justice Cleary's court. Numerous
witnesses were examined and considerab bic
amusing testimony was the result. Mr..
Clark, who represented the defendants
said he was DESTROYS of finding out Just
what the plaintiffs wanted
do you want Ben Fabin?" he asked the
president of the society.
mo, sab; he dead" was the reply "He
| soul belong TO God, and he body to de
yeth.'
We'll do you want the cofn?"
"No, sah."
well, what are you suing for, any
how?"
well, sab, de digity OBJ de society are
| peryaded."
The sequestered witnesses all assented
| to this proposition heartily.
In the argument Mr.. Clark held that a
writ of replevin was the same as that OF
trover. He produced a Missouri Supreme
| Court decision to show that no recovery
| of a coffin containing a dead body could
be had by a bail In trover writ. Mr.
| Clark charges that Mr.. Oliver held that
| Missouri law wouldn't go In Georgia, and
| the court was left In such mystihed
| frame of mind that he threatened to send
| an obstreperous witness to jail The court
| reserved his decision. The trial will next
| go before a jury, and as a shortage OF
| court costs promises to leave his honor
| without a sufficiently roomy office, 1t Is
| said the trial will probably take place
under the nearest oak tree by moonlight.

with Deep Draft.

With Deep Draft.
The suficiency of water to take deep
draft vessels from Savannah to the sea
was demonstrated yesterday when the
British steamship Birehtor left the city
drawing twenty-four feet and went direct
to sea on one tide.
That means that there was at least a
foot or two Of water to spare, and as the
pilots claim, a vessel can be safely taken
to sea drawing twenty-five feet, at high
tide, the depth of the river Is twenty-six
feet
The steamship Birchtor sailed from Sa-
vannah July % drawing a little over twen-
ty-four feet At that time she stopped at
the Venus Point, where she broke loose
from her mornings and swung across the
channel. She had a cargo of phosphate
rock and naval stores for Hamburg Yes
terday she went direct to sea with a full
cargo of cotton. She is bound for Brem-
en- and Hamburg.

sides of the street were lined with peo-
pie. At the conclusion of the concert one
of the officers announced that the North
CaroliriaEs would give their famous bear
dance on the piazza. One of the privates
Of the regiment initiated the trained bear
