were treated to another surprise. The
little yacht gunboat is manned by
the New York naval militia. Her
crew had barely recovered from the
excitement when the flagship called
the vessel over and Captain Bellcrs
was given a packet of private docu-
msnts which he was ordered to
take into Havana under flag of
truce.
The white flag was hoisted over the
Silvia and she steamed toward the
guns which had just given her such
noisy greeting. As the Silvia ap-
preached to within a mile of Moro,
the character of the flag floating
from her foremast was discerned and
the castle signaled, "What is your
purpose
Delivered the Protocol
To this the Silvia answered: "We
have papers to deliver"
Moro did not resume the conver-
sation and for some time the gun
boat rocked on the waters almost
under the still smoking cannon of
the enemy. Presently, however,
Spanish gunboat drew out of the
harbor and came close to the Silvia.
1t was the Martin y Pinzon and car
ried a much stronger battery than the
American ship.
The customary formal salutations
were exchanged and Lieut.. VIM. G.
Ford, the executive officer of the
Silvia, boarded the Pinzon and de-
livered the documents.
The ceremony occupied no more
time than the physical act involved.
The American officer returned to his
ship and the vessels went on their
respective ways.
