United States navy.
During the war the American fleet in
the Mediterranean excited the admiration
Of officers of all the European navles ex-
cept the English and some OF the Span
iards. The criticisms OF the latter were
quickly and effectually silenced The In
cdent that brought IL about occurred whils
the Essex was standing in the roads of
Barcelona. One night while Capt. William
cambridge, her commander. was returns
ing in his gig from visit to the city, ha
was overhauled and grossly insulted by
the commander Of small Spanish xebec,
patrollng the harbor as a guard ship. In
the most abusive language the Spanlard
ordered the American gig TO come along-
side emphasizing the order with a round
of musket shot. cambridge, believing
there was some mistake, went alongside
to explain, and the Spaniard ordered him
to come aboard.
II want you to understand, sir. that q
arm the captain of the American frigate,,s
answered Balnbridge when he perceived
that the Spaniard was looking for troubles
"and I'm id II I'll go aboard any ship
but my own"
And then he pulled away for the Essex.
IN spite OF the Spaniard's repeated threats
to fire.
The next night a party OF American
lbeutenants returning from shore, were In
suited In the same manner and by the
same man. One Of them was an impetus

soon as 1t was possible next morning.
went over 10 the xebec and demanded ana
immediate interview with her commander.
But he was disappointed. Her CONS
mander was not there
Well then, tell him when he returns,s
said the irate young Americas. "thas
Stephen Decatur, OF the United States
frigate Essex, pronounces him a cowardIy
scoundrel. and when they meet on shore
he will cut his ears off,"
The message was delivered promptly
enough and serious trouble threatened.
The captain of the port, seeking to avert
il, begged Capt cambridge TO keep his
officers confined in the Essex while the
ship remained In port. But that did not
suit Bainbfidge's idea OF the situation ae
all. He sent back word that the officers
of the American navy were gentlemen.
and that IL SpanIards did not know how
to treat them as suck they would have to
suffer the consequences.
This spirited reply brought the captairf
general TO terms, and his next appeal was
to Madrid where the report quickly
reached the ears of the King. He was not
caring for any argument with the Ameri-
can navy, so he quickly sent out the order
that American officers be treated with
courtesy and respect. and added, More
particularly those attached to the United
states 1rigate Essex" The order was
faithfully carried out, and the American
navy was not further pestered by the i'm
pertinenee Of Spanish petty officials.

How They Resented IL.
From the Chicago Times Herald
Once before the gallant officers of the
United States navy were brought into
brief but bloodless conflict with those OF
Spain and before the trouble ended the
CastIlian King himself sent orders into
all his ports to treat the officers Of the
United States with courtesy and respect"
All this happened during that degrading
period OF American history when the
United States government was paying an
nuai tribute to the Dey Of Algiers to SCI
cure immunity for our merchant marine
from the raids Of Algerian pirates The
millions for defense but not one cent
for tribute" idea had apparently been for
gotten for the time. The nations OF Eu-
rope, including even England. were pay
ing tribute TO the same piratical power, to
be sure, and the United States may be for
given. perhaps, by reason of its being the
first to break away and make IL possible
for the other nations to follow.
The breaking away came about in this
fashion: Jaesuf Karamauli, the Bashaw
OF Tripod, seeing Algiers collect tribute
from Uncle Sam, announced that he would
declare war unless the same amount Of
money were paid annually to him. He
was informed that he might make his
declaration az soon as he liked, but that
he would never collect tribute from the
United States. His declaration quickly
followed and that IN turn was followed
by the appearance of an American feet
which in time brought both The Bashaw
OF Tripoli and the Dey of Algiers to
Americas terms. The history Of that
short war is Interesting In every detail

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Did you ever consider the straits to
which the world seems to have been sub
iected TO find surnames for itssmillions Of
human beings? That fol. centuries a sin
gle word served to distinguish one indi-
vidual from another is a marvel. Appsr-
emily the first effort at a closer line Of
discrimination was founded on a mans be-
ing the son Of his father afterward, on
tribal relations. When these proved in
suhiclent, personal peculiarities were laid
under tribute and many an undesirable
cognomen was thus conferred, as history
amply exempli6es. In our day of double,
triple, quadruple, and even sextuple names
OF persons, Il would seem that all ordinary
adjectves to describe individuals have
been exhausted as also verbs and adj
verbs 70 indicate their acts, so that every
conceivable object IN nature however IN
