Torpedo Boat Foote Excites
Great Interest.

ton Tomorrow. ...

Quite q little excitement was 1ani-
tested at OhIl Point yesterday morning
when the torpedo fbuat Fo,te arrived
from the Norfolk navy yard and ted up
at the government pier. AS soon as
the vessel was seen heading FOR the per
the guests at the hotel began to
gather on tie wharf and by the time
she reachdN it the dick a crowded
by a la!ge assembly anxious to learn
What this strange looking craft was and
what she was doing in Hampton
Roads.
That's q Spanish torpedo boat said
one lung man.
NO; 1T is the boat hat has been
making the midnight trips around the
Rip Raps." suggested another. An
American flag Was flying from the lit
tie vessel and She was Soon recognized
as the United States torpedo boat
FoWte.
The torpedo hoat tied up at the
government pier and after alvut half
an hours stay sailed ON her way to
Charleston, :. c.
Another incf.ent of the day tihat caus-
ed a furry Of excitement was the sd
iutes that We're fired from the big guns
in the fort. The admiral oil the Norfolk
navy yard came over on a tug ana ev-
erything was quiet until he reached the
fort 1t was then learned who he wus
and the statutes were fired.
The guests at the hotels hea,lI the fir
ing and not knowing the cause. began
to assemble on the per, thinking that
the Brooklyn or some other warship
had arrived in Hampton Roads. 1t was
some time before the truth was known.
y large of ammunition Ggas
been received at Fortress Monroe u, be
transferred to the cruiser Brooklyn.
With is expected To. arrive IN Hampton
NoaoS at almost any moment. The am
munltlon was shipped from the Gosport
navy yard at Portsmouth and arrived
at Cid Point yesterday.
-Four car oad of mortars Wee re-
ceived at the fort yesterday, TO uuu to
the already strong battery ,of mortars
which is being built there.
At $3.50 o'clock the mortars We're taken
into the fort and the work of mounting
item VIII commence at once.
To get Information as to what is go
ing on inSah.k the fort is practically an
inposStDii!ty. Orders of some KIN have
been given which have made the men
forget a.. they ever knew about the
f>rtfic,ltions, and no one hun" the off
GERS o: the fort can inspect the batter
les now.
The practice drills in thk use Of the
Big guns continue daily. The work on
tie rev mortar battery at the Pines
IS being rapidly pushed forward.
The Brooklyn did not arrive yester-
day. as was expected, but she Will pro-
badly enter the Roads today.

OUT OF n FIRE.
"A Horse Tint Knew a Thing or Two
I'm Case of Emergency.

I'm Case of Emergency.
The Governor had q fine black driv-
Ing horse called Dexter. Although
strong and spirited. Dexter was docile
and obediont, and was patted and made
much Of by his master. AS the Cover
nor kept no other horse, Dexter had
the stable all to himself, with a clean
stall and a full Manager.
The stable was near the house, and.
In addition to Dexter's stall and har-
ness room, contained a large carriage
room, an oat bin, and a hay NOW over
the stall.
n night. when the family and the
erVants were away from the home and
the Governor was In the house alone,
he was awakened by an ominous
cracking and a bright glare on his
chamber window, and before he could
collect his sleepy wits he was startled
by a cry unlike any sound he had ever
heard. AS he sprang out OF bed the
cry came again, and, fastening to the
window. he learned the cause. TIL
stable was all ablaze. and out If the
smoke and flames Dexter was calling
his master to his rescue.
Pausing only to don coat and slip
pers, the Governor rushed out. The
outside door Of the stable leading into
the stall was already blocked by the
flames, and the only entrance to be had
was through the carriage room, the
harness room, and a narrow entry
leading past the oat bin. These rooms
were on fire overhead, and burning
W1sps of hay and shingles were rain
ing down in showers.
Blinded by smoke, the Governor
stumbled along the roundabout way,
and. reaching the stall sooner than he
expected. fell headlong down the steps
against the excited animal, who was
Vainly Juggling at his halter. Think
ing some new danger threatened him
Dexter gave a mighty kick that sent
his master sprawling and famed him
for a month.
Whoa, Dexter?" shouted the Cover
nor. Don't 0 know me, sir?"
Steady now, old fellow, and well get
out Of this"
Recognizing his masters voice, Dex-
ter turned his head toward the pros
trate man and uttered a cOaXing Whin-
ny quite unlike his previous loud cries
OF alarm. Knowing he need fear no
more kicks, the Governor crept up and
cut the halter, and calling Dexter to
follow him. limped blindly through
the smoke-flled entry and the two
| blazing rooms beyond. And close af-
ter him went Dexter, his nose pressed
against his masters shoulder, man and
horse reaching the safe outer air to-
gether.
1T was Dexter's obedience that saw
ed him. said the Governor. Il could
not lead him, and had he shown he
least obstinacy or n less readiness
to follow at a word through all that
roundabout. unaccustomed way, I must
have left him to perish in the flames.
But he followed like a w~ell-trained
soldier, and we escaped from our burn
ing. fiery furnace almost as safely as
Shadrach. Meshach and Abednego did
from theirs"

NEW YORK, March 11.-There was a
brief Show of strength by some stocks
in the early trading morning. due to
prices having been advanced on the
LCldon exchange above the New York
parity of last night. THE advance did
not reach the Lonlon level so THAT
there was considerable a~rhitragc buy
ing for I4ondUu account. There Were
some buying orders also which We're ex-
ecuted through the Channel usually EN-
rl"yed by Washington operators. This
buying soon came to an end and gave
color TO the supposition that the orders
We're merely placed for effect. The
wflo1e ltst soon yielded to depression
and the decline was only occasionally
arrested by unilnlyortarrt rEi.ieS during
the rest OF the day. The strength dis
played by American securities in the
ga rly dealings i'm London was in strong
contrast to the of the Spanish
gov3l'nHnent bonds. Which We're poorly
supported either in London or Paris.
The only rational explanation that
seems available for This movement is
that London feit that there was "a pros

THE HERO or THE WAR.

So far Fitzhugh Lee is the eonspicu-
Gus figure in the Cuban complications
If the government gives him the oppOr-
tunity, Fitzhugh Lee will win greater
glory on the field than in the diplomatic
service. Gen. O. o. Howard, whose
opinion is accepted by all, discussing the
opportunity for some strong figure to
win for himself lasting fame, said:
General Fitzhugh Lee is the man. ]
have known him since he was a cadet.
He is fearless, truthful, manly and
heroic, and Congress, the President and
committees did well to listen to him.
He is surely the unknown hero"
VIII Lee be given the opportunity!
If so, it is probable that grandson of
General U. s. Grant will serve on his
staff, the young man having applied for
that position. That would be u specta-
Gle that would convince the most blatant
sectional politician that his trade was
forever at an end.
