New York, July 7.-Captain Quinton of
the Lamport & Holt line steamer Cuvier,
which arrived yesterday morning from
Brazil ports via st. Lucia, told a story
of Yankee whalers pluck under the
guns of the Spanish fleet at St. Vincent,
Cape Verde.
''On my last outward voyage 10 the Bra
zils on April 2S' he said I'VE called at
St Vincent for coal. The Spanish fleet
was anchored in the harbor with several
torpedo boats. a little Yankee whaling
schooner deeply laden from a cruise
sailed into the harbor early in the MORN
ing with big American flag flying from
her foretopmost. She sailed boldly across
the bows of several Spanish warships and
anchored a short distance ahead of the
fleet.
THE Spanish fleet sailed the same day.
but two days later two of the torpedo
boats returned for repairs. On this date
three whales Were reported at the en-
trance of the harbor
THE Yankee whaler. despite the pres
ence of the Spaniards, lowered two of his
boats and started in pursuit of the whales.
In a short time one whale had been cap
tured and was alongside. Another had
been harpooned and was making desper-
ate effort to escape, but soon gave up and
was captured.

MISS GARCIA WELL AGAIN.
The Cuban Generals Daughter Re
covers From an Attack of Fever.

Midd!etown, \. Y, July Cen. CaliXto
Garcia. the old Cuban leader. has been
Informed by cable that his pretty daugh-
ter Leona has recovered from her seri-
Gus illness at Liberty. Sullivan county.
Three years have elapsed since father
and daughter parted. owing to the out
break of the insurrection in Cuba. She
is the generals favorite child, and has
mourned the separation more than the
other three children. who, with Mrs. Gar
cia, are with her.
Mrs Garcia, accompanied by Leona
and her three other children, went from
New York two weeks ago TO Liberty
to spend part of the Summer at the farm
house of George c. Cooper. They were
attracted TO the place. hoping Leona
would gain relief from malarial fever
with which she was afflicted. While Miss
Garcia improved at the start, she re-
Gently had relapse, from which it was
feared she would not recover. When it
was thought the end would come soon,
her father was Informed by cable, with
the request that he come to her bedside
if possible. Since then, however. the
generals daughter has practically recoy-
cred.
The presence of Mrs. Garcia and her
family at Liberty has excited great inter-
est, and the appearance of any member
of the family in the street is the signal
for an ovation.

O'Clock. 1t was lying close TO the back fence

Sunday, and woman's undergarment-
Policeman O'Brien carried the body to the
Union Market station where an examination
showed that the corpse was that of a female
child about two weeks old. An attempt had
evidently been made to destroy the remains
BY fire, for the whole surface was charred
as if it had been placed in stove.
In addition to this there a deep knife
wound in the breast which was apparently the
immediate cause of death.
The body could only have lain where it was
found for a short time before discovery for
Joseph Straus who went into the yard before
his sister, is sure it was not there at that time.
The fence around the yard is quite low and
could easily have been scaled from the yards
of any of the adjacent tenement houses. The
neighborhood is densely populated. for the most
part by Russians and Hungarians.
-Four detectives were put-on the case and made
a careful inquiry in all the adjacent houses, but
without finding any clew to the mystery. 1t is
by no means impossible. the police say, ittat the
body may have been brought from a distance
and thrown into the yard where it was found.
