EMuLATING THE CAPTURE OF TROY
Jack Tnrs' scheme TO Use Lumber
Vessel I'm the Taking of Spanish
Craft.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
Key West, April 2s.-There is feeling
on the monitor Terror that Capt. Nicol
Ludlow prevented the enacting of a bril-
liant chapter in American naval history
when he refused 10 allow some of his men
10 attempt the capture OF two Spanish
boats in the harhor of Cardenas. one is q
small gunboat and the other kind OF
converted usboat. They apparently carry
4 and 6-pounders. The vessels have dis
crcetly remained in Cardenas harbor, and
the water there is SO shallow that tho
United States gunb9a,s and monitors can
set no nearer to them than six miles. The
boys on the Terror, which has been pa
trolling The coast off Cnldenas have been
exceedingly anxious 10 lay hands on these
Spanish boats. Their ardor to get at them
measurably Increased when the torpedo
boa{ Foote was fired on by the Spanish
gunners The Foote was roc far from
shore, reeonnoitering when the two boata
opened up on her. She was in no great
danger, but the balls struck in her neigh
borhcod, while her l-pounder was not able
TO carry anywhere near the distance tc
them.
Various schemes were proposed 10 Capt.
Ludlow for taking the Spauards. A mum
Der Of his men wanted TO 90 ashore some
dark night in launches and seize the
prizes. The captain naturally said no "a
this He knew The hoais could be had al
any t!mo they were really wanted and
didat care TO risk a single life in such au
expedition as was proposed.
In the course of the blockade, one of the
vessels stopped by the Terror was a little
schooner, lumber laden. Her captain waa
examined, but she was Of so trihng a
value that 1t was soon decided to release
her. Just then came forward some men
with the proposition that she be used in
capturing the Spanish war vessels. Their
plan was to clear away the center OF the
cargo Of lumber and TO fill the space with
Jack Tars. The schooner could then be
sailed into Cardenas harbor by her mas
ter, and in due time the gunboat and her
companion could be surprised and over
powered.
But Capt. Ludlow would have none of
this repetition of the capture of Troy. The
men pleaded for a chance to make the eff
fort, but he could not be swayed, and, re
luctantly, the adventuresome spirits cast
loose the lumber laden schooner.

The glory of a trlumphaI victory i'm war

There are hundreds of thousands of men

In 1917 Joseph Bonaparte's secretary,
Maillard, left Philadelphia armed with let
ters which represented him 70 be a travel
ing agent for Girard's commercial house
and visiting Girard's correspondents ia
Holland and Switzerland. Hts real destina-
ton was the Swiss chateau at Prangins.
from which the king had fed two years
before, and his real object TO secure the
treasure which had been buried in the
ground of the estate on the eve OF his
flight. Mailard found the buried packets,
and with them he would also have brought
to Philadelphia Queen Julie if her physi-
clans had not compelled her to renounce
the project of joining her husband. The
Jewels, which were valued at $1,000 900,
were stuffed into a belt, which Mailard
wore on his person when returning across
the Atlantic, and with which he was glad
ly received by his master IN the Lansdowne
house, near Philadelphia. 1t was about this
time thet wild rumors began to circulate
in Philadelphia concerning the ex-king's
riches and of the boards of specie which
he had deposited in the vault of Stephen
Girard's Philadelphia bank. Mysterious
heavy boxes. sealed with wax, were believ-
ed by Girard's clerks to contain the crown
jewels Of Spain and Naples. One or two
old men in recent years, who were then
among those clerks, have told how Joseph
would sit in the bank talking with them
affaby while waiting for the great banker.
