Home.

On last Saturday Dec. "a, Mrs.
F. S. Case, Mrs. Ira Lindley, Mrs.
G.. Morgan and Mss Alice Smith
met at the Children's Home, of this
county for the purpose of decorating
a Christmas tree; the tree having
been previously furnished by little
Joe Case of our town.
The Matron, Miss Strobel and the
teacher, Miss Jennie Dollison had
been notified of the Intention and
had the children all assembled in the
school room SO as to keep everything
quiet until the tree was ready for
thirty five pairs of eyes and as many
curious minds to inspect.
The tree was a beauty in itself
and when 1t was bedecked with every
thing pleasing to child. it certain
was beautiful sight.
Could the people of our town who
so kindly contributed so make this a
success. have seen the happy little
faces and heard the prattllng voices
it certainly would have aided them
in having a Merry Christmas.
After the tree had been inspected
as children only can do, the wall OF
the parlor rang with three cheers fol
Joe Case, the little bow who so kind.
ly said to his papa 81 don't want q
Christmas tree this year, pap, can'
you give my tree to the children al
the Home.
He certainly is a child in thous
and and will long bs remembered
for this unselfish act.
The Supt. the Matron and the
teacher join in heartily thanking
the kind people of Logan and especi
allv the ladies who took this IN hand
and made such a success of it. Y X

Navy.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-With the
additions to the navy called for by the
plans for torpedo boats and destroyers.
great defect in the navy will be sup
Piled The plans draw a broad distinc-
ton between the destroyers, sixteen in
number, and the remainder, which are
more ordinary boats The former are
to have between two and three times
as much displacement as the latter, to
excel them by four knots in speed, and
to have two and half timcs their coal
capacity, so insuring a great radius of
action. The destroyers are obliged to
make a hiGh speed in a heavy AID the
others in moderate seaway.
The twelve ordinary boats wou,d
have ranked a few years ago in the
foremost torpedo class. They are to
dlsplace between $50 and 10 tons and
to make 26 knots. The Winslow dis
places 142 TONS and was required to de-
velop 241a knots. The Cushing disp' aces
lo5 tons, and some Of our newer boats
are still smaller, the Mackenzie and
Mckee displacing only 65 tons and the
1altot and Gwin only 46R, while of all
four only 20 knots are required.
The sixteen destroyers are to be of
between 430 and ABS tons displacement.
which is beyond anything the United
States now have af1oat, while their
minimum average trial speed is to be
thirty knots. They are also to carry
at least hundred tons Of coal, which
would take them across the Atlantic
with plenty to spare
A possible contract cost of $2:50.O
each is fixed for the destroyers, against
$4,000 for the torpedo boats, and for
the completion of the former year
and a half is allowed against a year
for the latter, with penalties for de,ay
or lack Of speed.

Lieut.. Brainerd, American Spe-

With Captain General BIancO in

KEY WEST, Fla, May 16. = The
United States government tug Uncas
has returned here from off Havana,
without the two American newspaper
correspondents, said to be Charles
Thrall and Hayden jones' captured
by the Spanish, and imprisoned at
Fort Cabanas, whose release the COM
mander Of the Uncas attempted to
consummate ON the basis of exchanging
them for Spanish prisoners held in the
United States. Neither Capt. Brainerd,
of the Uncas, nor any other person on
board will give details of the result
of the expedition until the official re
port on the Subject has been made to
Commodore Remey.
The Uncas, after leaving here at 1
o'clock Sunday morning, for Havana,
spoke the MayfioWer, which was act
Lieut.. Brainerd, United States navy,
special agent of the United States gov
eminent, boarded her, and handed
sealed orders to the captain, who there
upon instructed the Uncas to hoist a
white flag and proceed into Havana
harbor.
The Uncas then steamed towards Ha-
vana, and, when within signaling dis
lance of Moro castle, she signaled,
asking for an anchorage The castle
signaled back that its commander was
waiting for Instructions, and that the
Uncas must certainly not anchor
After an interval a launch, with the
harbor authorities, put out from the
shore and took on board Lieut. Brain
erd and Mr.. Mcknight, the CORE
spondent of the London Times, who
had been chosen to negotiate the ex-
change of prisoners. .}a5asr So
AS the launch was returning to the
shore she was met by Capt. Gen. Bian-
cos launch, coming out with the cap
tain general and aide-de-camp and Mr..
Colon, the British consul general The
boats drew together and conference
was held.
Lieut.. Brainerd and Mcknight were
assured that Messrs. Thrall and Jones
were absolutely safe, and were being
treated with every consideration. 1t
was added that Capt. Gen. Blanco was
willing to release them the moment
the United States authorities sent him
two Spanish prisoners in exchange
Mr. Mcknight was told he could not
land at Havana from an American
boat, in spite of the flag Of truce, and
it was explained to him that if he
desired to reach Havana, he must go
there on a ship belonging to some neu-
trail power.
The Uncas then returned to Key
West and reported this afternoon to
the department..
1t was resolved that two of the Span
ish captives in Fort Mcpherson, at
lanta, will be promptly sent down, and
the exchange of prisoners will be con-
summated without further trouble.

BUYING CUBAN BONDS.
Spectators who Are Taking Chan
ces on Ultimate Redemption.

Spectators who Are Taking Cham
ces on Ultimate Redemption.
NEW YORK, May 16.-The brighten
ing prospects for Cuban independence
have caused decided advance in the
price of old Republic of Cuba bonds.
With the failure of a revolution the
embryo government issuing the bonds
persisted. There are a few brokerage
houses down town who have regarded
these old Cuban bonds as of some spec
ulative value, however. Mr.. R. M.
Smythe of the Produce Exchange
building, is said to have been the first
to begin purchasing the old bonds for
a rise. He paid only SIS for a $1,000
bond. After he had accumulated a lot
of them he advertised to sell them at
$25. He was doing a thriving business
till last week, when another brokerage
house offered to take his entire collec-
ton at that price. He let them have
half his holdings, and advanced the
price for the remainder to $40.
These bonds were issued between the
dates 1869 and 1872, early in the ten
years war, and are known from the
color of the ink used in printing them,
as blue, red, green and black bonds re-
spectively. The green bonds Of $1,000
denomination issued in 1859 are the
most common and most priced, being
signed by the same set of officials as
have figured in the present war. The
red bonds are Of $500 denominations, the
blue Of $1,000 denomination and the
black of various smaller denominations
issued in 1872.
The hope Of the spectators who in
vest in these bonds is that after Sc
curing it's independence Cuba will vol
unfairly assume these debts.
H. 8. Rubens, counsel Of the Cuban
junta, said today that nobody would
have authority to charge the old bonds
on Cuba, after the independence Of the
island is secured. He said that after
peace is established and stable gov
eminent is secured, it will be ques-
ton for that government to consider
whether 1t will do anything In the mat
ter Of redeeming the old bonds
No more bonds of the present gov
eminent are being offered for sale by
the revolutionists. Although some 49,
900, 900 worth of these bonds were print
ed, only about $4,000 worth have
been Sold The prices ranged from
forty to sixty cents on the dollar.
