FORE be little honor to confer this rank on
him. About the only expedient is to give
him a promotion in the line, probably as
lieutenant commander or commander, where
his pay will be greater than it would be in
the staff service and the chance for future
advancement would be greater. There is
some doubt, however whether an officer
who has shown much genius in the scientific,
branch of the naval service would care to
leave that service for the line. Congratula-

Over Fifty Policemen and Many Civil

BELFAST, Ireland, June 6.-Great excite
ment has been caused here by a Nationalist
demonstration in honor of the revolution Of
1898. Several collisions have occurred be-
tween the demonstrators and the opposing
crowd Stones were thrown, general melee
followed and many arrests were made.
Midnight-The riots have been renewed,
and at late hour this evening the troops
were compelled to charge mobs numbering
several. thousand. The rioters stoned the
police and troops One constable, who fell
from his horse, was savagey beaten with
stones by the rioters When Shank hill
was cleared the crowds gathered in the side
streets. Altogether, this was the worst riot
ing that has occurred here since 1886. 1t was
prolonged until midnight, and at this hour
the city is still in a dangerous state of ex
element. Over fifty policemen have been
injured and twenty-four have been taken to
the hospitals with fractured skulls and
we're scalp wounds. Many civilians were
injured in the military charges, some dan

CHARITABLE ALABAMIANs.
VIII Pay OF Mortgage on the Hob
son Homestead.

MOBILE, Ala, June en-. P. Inge, trus-
tee of the old city debt of Mobile, and a
former resident of Greensboro, Ala, has
associated with himself John L. Rapier,
publisher of the Mobile Register, and r. "
Taylor, auditor of the Mobile & Ohio Rail-
road in an effort to raise a fund to pay
mortgage upon the home of the heroic
Richmond Hobson, at Greensboro. Mr.. Inge
says:
Through honorable misfortune Mrs. Hob
son was forced first to sell a part of her
the rest, and has not been able to redeem
1T, despite the fact that her son faithfully
sent his mother all of his pay above the
cost of actual maintenance of himself as a
cadet since being in the service. L notice
in the Alabama Beacon, published in
tised for foreclosure sale, which will take
place on the 10th of this month. Thus this
brave boys mothers home is to be taken
from her, no doubt, because from his
meager pay as a naval officer he is unable
to lift the debt. Now young Hobson will
doubtless be voted the thanks of Congress,
together with a sword or medal but these
will not pay a mortgage, and l propose to
appeal to the people of this appreciatfve
Nation to pay off this mortgage and buy
back the part of the old homestead that
has been sacrificed, and that the title shall
be in the name of Richmond p. Hobson,
where he will find rest with his mother
when peace shall bring its blessings to our
country" ri
This purpose was announced this morn
ing, and although nc publication was made,
contributions came in in large numbers 10
Mr.. Inge, and are still arriving. The First
National Bank of Mobile has been selected
as repository for the fund.

CaDtoin sirsbee sI,rbted.

WASHINGTON, June Captain Sigsbee
has gone to New York to join his ship, the
ST. Paul. While in Washington he spent a
good deal of time before the naval war
board. and it is supposed that the members
of the latter were availing themselves of
the extensive knowledge of the topography
of Havana harbor and of the character of
the defenses there possessed by Captain
Sigsbee. The friends of Captain Sigsbee are
somewhat chagrined over the discovery
that, without any intention of working him
an injustice, he has been Jumped" in his
standing on the naval list by his juniors
in consequence of the Presidents recon-
mendation that the commanders of the
American war ships in the battle of Manila
be advanced several numbers. They are
perfectly confident that this substantial in
jury threatens to be inflicted entirely
through inadvertence, and the officers will
take steps to remedy the matter now their
attention is directed to it. 1t is possible
that the easiest way to accomplish this
would be to include Captain Sigsbee HIM
self in the list of officers to be advanced
in recognition of the splendid manner in
which he acquitted himself after the blow
ing up of the Maine.

HOBsON AND CERVERA.

LONDON, June 6.-Every evening paper
of this city echoes the morning papers

planned and pluckily carried out.

concludes by commenting on the probable

Secretary AIger Wants to ReOrganize
Important Department..

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary Alger
sent to Congress to-day a proposed bill for
the better organization of the quartermaster
generals office in the army, it's depots of
supplies, etc. The sudden call of a large
force of volunteers and the increase of the
regular army has imposed an immense work
on this branch of the service and the bill
gives officers found best qualified for diff
cult and important duties a temporary in
crease in rank and pay. A similar bill was
enacted during the civil war. There are
twenty-five additional assistant quarter
masters to rank as captains asked for. as
being necessary to assign as assistants to
the principal depots of supplies in the de-
partment here and to take charge of smaller
quartermaSterS depOtS at various points to
be established. The bill establishes eight di-
visions of the QuartermaSter generals office

THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
What May Be Done Now that Cervera
Has Been BOTTLED In.

Has Been Bottled Up.
NEW YORK, June 6.-By no possibility, 1t
is conceded by members of the war board
will Admiral Cervera's vessels in the har-
Dor of Santiago be able TO reach the open
sea, even with the remains of the Merrimac
removed, a task that is not at all feasible,
in view of the heavy fire that any operator
would be subjected to who might attempt to
place sufficient dynamite in the wreck to
remove it, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Tribune. The entire Spanish
squadron is now conceded TO have been
caught and closed against all possibility of
escape, and unless Cervera purposely de-
stroys his ships they are bound ultimately,
to fall into the hands of the United States.
Cervera's position is regarded as one of al
most pitiful humiliation, and his situation
such that he will be forced to surrender
without possibly having a chance to open
fire on a single war vessel. That he, his Off
GERS and entire force will be made prisoners
of the United States in time seems certain.
With Santiago in possession of the United
States, the crews of the Spanish ships will
become prisoners of war. and if they at
tempted to escape from Santiago they would
fall into the hands OF the insurgents.
Opinions differ as to the chance of the four
powerful armored cruisers and torpedo boat
destroyers becoming the property Of the
United States. but most naval men assert
with great positiveness that Cervera viii

MONTREAL. Que, June 6-Magistrate
Lafontaine to-day honorably discharged
Detective Kellert from custody on the
charge of stealing the now famous let
ter from Lieutenant Carranza Immedi-
ately afterwards Kellert's lawyer took
steps to take out a suit for $4,000 joint
and severally against Seniors Du Bose
and Carranza, for false arrest Later
Lieutenant Carranza and Senior Du Bose
were arrested at half past clock this aft
ernoon on a capias, on which it is alleged
they were about to leave the country. The
capias was taken out in accordance with the
suit for $4,000 damages for defamation of
character entered by Detective Kellert. The
arrest was made at the residence of the
Spanish consul general, and the prisoners
were Immediately taken before Judge
Matthew, who released them in 81 900 bail,
which was promptly furnished, the authori-
ties declining to say by whom. The writ
of capias is returnable in six days and no
action can be taken until the end of that
time unless the prisoners consent to a
speedy hearing.
In the meantime a new element is intro
duced into the case. The bodies of Carranza
and Du Bose are the property of Detective
Kellert until his claim is satisfied or the
case dissolved. The United States authori-
ties are DESTROYS of having CarranZa and
Du Bose leave Canada thing which they
cannot do without FORGETTING their bail AS
it stands now, it looks very much if De-
tective Kellert had made it impossible for
the Canadian government to order the
Spaniards to leave the country until at least
the capias has been dissolved. OF course
Carranza and Du Bose might jump their
bail, but their present desire is to remain
in Canada
The money they have in the Bank of Mon
treal will be garnisheed and leave will be
asked to seize all their personal property
before judgment, so as to have a guarantee
on their part for costs.
