BOAT CAlPTAIN ON THlE DELLA
WARE HIVER.
Andrew j. Fenton, who was said IN
be the Oldest steamboat captain ON the
Delaware river, died on Saturday. and
viii be buried tomorrow from the
residence Of his daughter, Mrs. M. A.
Humphries, No 1885 North Twenty
first street, Philadelphia. Though he
was rs years of age, Captain Fenton
was remarkably active for his age. and
was in charge OF the steamboat Twi-
light only the day before his death.
He was born in Philadelphia and
was the son Of seafaring man, who
later became a sailmaker. From his
nineteenth year he piloted river and
ocean craft one OF his earliest connec-
tions being as captain OF the schooner
Emley Murray. Latter he ran the c.
G. Alger, steamer running from
Philadelphia to Washington, and 1t
was while captain OF this boat that he
ran the Confederate blockade near
Evansville, ON the Potomac. Mrs.
Humphries was then a young girl, but
she clearly remembers being aboard
the boat when the blockade was run
and how every light was put out and
everyone was silent.
AT the second battle OF Bull Run the
Alger was used as a transport and
Captain Fenton was THE pilot. He sold
to the government, in war time, the
ella Knight, boat which he built in
Philadelphia, and which was sent to
Point Road.
After the war the captain was In the
governments employ on the lighthouse
tender Tulip, plying in the neighbor-
hood Of Baltimore, and, later, he was
in the service of the Clydes, at New
York. His intimate connections with
Delaware river navigation came, how
ever, with his association some twenty
years ago, as captain OF the excur-
sion boat Champion. This steamer, to-
wards the latter part OF it's career, ply
ed between Philadelphia and Angus
tine Pier, but, being condemned, was
broken up about five years ago.
After short idleness, Captain Fen
ton was engaged as captain for the
Washington Park boats, and ran the
Twilight for the last three years He
made his Summer home aboard the
boat, and, until last Tuesday. was
feeling welQ. On Thursday OF last
week his condition grew worse, and
on Friday, though he was in great
pain because OF Bright's disease, he in
sisted upon directing the boat, taking
aboard picnic party ait chester and
returning there SO alarming did his
condition become that, on Saturday, he
was removed to the German Hospital,
where he died in the evening.
Captain Fenton's wife died about
four months ago, but he is survived
by three daughters and one son, the
latter william Fenton, being active en-
gineer on the police boat Stoldey.

SPANS TORPEDO FLOTILLA.
Has Taken in Coal and is Awaiting Orders
10 Go TO Sea.
May be Intercepted by an American Squad
ron Before Reaching Porto
Rico.

New York, April "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The navy department has received in
formation that the Spanish torpedo
fiotilla purchased GOO tons OF coal at St.
Vincent. Cape Verde islands. and is
now ready for sea, awaiting orders. Not
only did the six torpedo boats fill their
bunkers, but the accompanying trans
port ship laid in a fun supply of fuel.
1t is considered here that the fiotilla
was preparing to resume Its voyage to
the West Indies, when the situation
became so acute several days ago, and
it is now held under orders from Madrid
in readiness to return directly to the
Canaries and receive further reinforce
ment and protection from CadiZ. So
long as 1t stays at port II causes no
particular concern at the navy depart
ment. but should IL sail with an I'M
known destination, the strategy board
will strongly urge the immediate dis
patch of the flying squadron for u cruise
in the vicinity OF Porto Rico to inter
cept the little fleet in any attempt to
reach n base OF supplies near this con-
tinent or to effect Il junction with the
Vizcaya and the Oquendo, which were
still at San Juan de Porto Rico Friday.
After today the United States will have
no consular officers In Spanish ports to
communicate the movements of vessels.
but a comprehensive system will go in
to operation for securing trustworthy
information promptly.

ually dropped into the committee room,
where the Cuban situation was the up
permost topic.

that the committee viii change its
verdict on the method of recognizing
Cuban independence SO as not to in

GnIng to Pay Them.

Rome, April 9.-The associated cot
ton splnnef's of Milan have sent LONG
Telegram to the Marquis Visconti We
nosta. the foreign minister, represent
ING that the materials OF their trade
are furnished almost entirely from
the southern districts of the United
states. and that the cargoes are always
paid for at the port OF embarkation
and frequently shipped on Spanish or
American vessels,
They wished to be informed If, in
the event of an outbreak of hostilities,
belligerents would ultimately be re-
sponsible for the capture, the damage
or the loss of which might be inflicted
ON the cities OF neutral powers.
The Marquis Visconti Venosta re-
piled by telegraph as follows:
"If, contrary to our hopes, war should
break out between Spain and the Unit
ed States, the kings government Will
not fail to associate itself with all the
powers in all measures that appear
hest calculated to render less serious
for neutrals war between two statea
which did not adhere to the declaration

This application and the guarded ma.
ture of the reply give n measure OF the
apprehensions which are naturally felt

charter of the Atlas line ooasting
steamer Adula, which was engaged to
take American citizens from Baracoa.
Manzanillo and other places in Cuba.
was cancelled today under instructions
from the state department at Washing
ton, through Consul General Lee at Ha-
vana.
Washington, April e.--The state de-
partment states that the cancellation
of the charter of the steamer Adula has
no significance. The plan OF having the
Adula make trip along the southern
coast to Cuba, to pick up Americans
and agreed upon some days ago. 1t
turned out, however. that the Adula
was very slow, making only knots an
hour, so that It would take her full
week to call at Guantanamo and other
points along the Cuban coast. AT the
same time General Lee advised the
state department that he had made
other arrangements by which Amerl-
cans could 20 away from the island.
The state department therefore deter
mined to give up the trip Of the Adula
and Consul lGoneral Lee and the
United States consul at Kingston We're
notified accordingly.
