A LARGE CANOE
Bark Iolani Picks Up a
South Sea Boat.
IS . Feet Long and Hewn
From one LOg-Carried Back
to Baltimore,

On board the Hawaiian bark Iolani
there is a curiosity in a native canoe
made by some of the Pacific Islanders.
While on the voyage from Honolulu
last August for Hong Kong to load
mating for Baltimore an object was
seen in the water to the leeward. Capt.
Mcclure changed his course, and run
ming close to it found it to be a mann
moth canoe. He had the ships car
penter put into the canoe, which was
nearly filled with water. When once
inside it was almost impossible to
stand up on its slippery bottom. To
make his position more exciting the
carpenter was seen fighting with
large fish, which was making desper-
ate efforts to escape from the boat.
A shark hook was thrown TO the car
penter, and it was not until he had
stabbed the fish several times that it
was conquered. When the canoe was
hoisted on board a number of small
fish were found swimming about. The
large fish weighed seven pounds, and
ended in a chowder for a meal on
board.
The canoe is about twenty-five feet
long, cut out of a solid log, with rear
ing ends, which would give the log it
was hewn from a diameter of at least
five feet. There is not a semblance of
iron about it, but along the gunwales
are holes in which lacings of hide
throngs were used to hold to and for
serving the oars. Places are cut out
Tor thwarts, which were made of pieces
Of bamboo placed in the inches while
vet and allowed to shrink. There al
so is a place in the bottom to step a
mast.
Capt. Mcclure thinks the canoe be-
onged to some Of the natives of Bal
ingtang Island, in the Bashee group,
rom which the Iolani was about TWEEN
y miles when the curious vessel was
picked up. The presence of the fish

SCHLEY AND CERYERA.
Meeting on Board the Iowa After the
Battle.


Correspondence of theAssociated Press)
Off Santiago de Cuba, July 4.-On the
return of the United States cruiser
Brooklyn to the blockade off Santiago
de Cuba, on the evening of July 3, the
Iowa reported to Commodore Schley
that Admiral Cervera, the commander
of the Spanish fleet, was on board. The
commodore at once went over to pay
his respects.
The Spanish admiral was much cast
down by his defeat but preserved a dig
nified and courteous demeanor notwith-
standing. He said ne deeply appreci-
ated the fact that the men of the
Brooklyn did not eXult by cheering,
when it was learned that he was
prisoner on the Iowa. He replied in
response to the cOmmOdore's remark
that it was the fortune of war: Yes,
but I've lost my career now that I've
been defeated"
Commodore Schley. however, told him
that such q, brave deed as that of bring
ing out the squadron could never be
locked upon otherwise than most gal
liant feat, upon which Admiral Cervera
threw his arms around the commO-
dore and said: "Ah, sailors always are
gentlemen
He then said he thought his dead
would probably number $50 though he
could not tell definitely.
He spoke of the accuracy and dead
illness of the Brooklyn's fire, saying that
in the early part of the action one of
her shells had traversed the entire
length of the gun deck, killing and
wOunding probably so men. On the
Vizcaya alone there were 110 men killed.
Admiral Cervera said he feared the
losses might be greater than he antici-
pated for many men weer below the
protective deck and when the ships
were on fire, it must have been diff
cult for them to escape. He added that
all his captains had been killed or
wounded, but later. it was found that
the captain of the CristObal Colon was
saved.
Admiral Cervera also said that he had
no doubt that at least three of the ships
would have gotten away had it not
been for the Brooklyn, the Oregon and
the Texas.

rife explosion, which shook the build
ings and scattered the troops and en-
ployes. Fifteen men are reported to
have been killed and many soldiers and

ious. The officials of the company at
once sent a special train from Dover to

guard about the plant and refused to
allow any one to approach the works.
