Fitzhugh Lee and Mosbv.

New York Sun: The conversation had
naturally drifted into war channels, and
the major had the floor.
'Well, Colonel Mosby, you know. was a
good fighter. but when General Grant sent
him to China the Virginians turned the
cold shoulder to him. He told the Vir-
gnians that they ought to vote for him.
Why said the colonel. I fought all
over northern Virginia for four years.
Talk about war records Why, my war
record is a part OF the states history.
Why. gentlemen, I carried the last con-
federate flag through this very town.
- Yes, replied Fitzhugh Lee, for 1 was
here at the time
Thank you for your fortunate recol-
lection, gratefully exclaimed Mosby. 1t
is pleasant to know that there still live
some men who move aside envy and testi-
fy TO the courage of their fellow-beings.
AS say. gentlemen my war record is a
part of the states history. for the gentle
man here will tell you that l carried the
last confederate flag through this town.
That's a fact, said Fitzhugh Lee, L
saw him do it. He carried the confederate
flag through this town. but Fitzpatrick
was after him. and he carried it so blamed

MERITS OF SPRINGFIELD RIFLE.
Ordnance Officers Say It Is Nearly
AS Good As the Mauser.

Washington, July 10.-The ordnance
officials are indignant at the statements
that have appeared in the press, some
ficials, questioning the merits of the
Springfield rifle, with which a large
proportion of the United States army
is armed. These statements, they say,
are calculated to do infinite harm
among the volunteer forces, though
the regulars know and like the old
Springfield too well to distrust it now.
The principal argument made
against it's employment by the critics
is that it's short range enables the
Spanish armed with Mauser rifles to
pick off our men long before they get
within the range of the Springfields.
This is said to be based upon error.
The Springfield has a range of 3,400
yards, which is only a few hundred
yards short of the Mausers, and the
formers big 50O-grain bullet is said to
have greater killing power at the
long ranges. The opinion of some
good, practical soldiers as to the re-
spective merits of the Springfield and
the modern small bore, is shown by
the fact that such able soldiers as
CORONER Ray anu COlOnel schuyler OF
New York, who are organizing indie
pendent regiments, have specially re-
quested the war department to supply
them with the former.
A good deal has been said also as to
the great majority of smokeless pow
der used in the small bore over the
black powder of the Springfield. but
one of the best ordnance experts in
the war department has declared that
there are merits in both powders. In
open fighting the smoke made by the
Springfield otter serves to obscure the
markSmen from a return fire, while
the man armed with the smokeless
weapon is exposed to aimed fire.

in his official report of the engagement

replied vigorously. For a short time
there was an almost continual flight of

line was fairly engaged the enemy's fire
became defective. As soon as it was
evident that the enemy's ships were try

Havana July 1O.-On July the produce,

operations, observing the day as one of
mourning for the loss of Admiral Ger

Nolena, province of Havana, have sent
telegram of coincidence to the president
of the colonial cabinet over the loss of
the fleet.
The civil governor of Havana has aband-
oned a festival arranged for the purpose
of collecting money to establish free kit

struction of CerVeraS fleet, and at Union

different ships of the feet, mciudlng

all the crews of the warships Almirante
Oquendo and Infanta Maria Teresa were
either killed or wounded.
All the officers of the Santiago garrison
are animated with the determination to
fight to the end.
While a party of gueriilas were recon-
noitering between Aliquizar and Canas,
a dynamite bomb exploded, killing Is
members of the party.
Colonel Ordonez, the inventor of the

Parkersburg, June 20-Through the
swearing out of a warrant for the arrest
of j. D. Wright, of Monongah, the de-
tails OF one of the biggest film fam
games ever worked in Parkersburg was
made known this evening. The victim
of the swindls is J. w. Wright, an old
and wealthy farmer, of Reedy, Roane.
county, who, it is alleged, was swindled
out OF $4,000 by the clever work Of j.
D. right and the parties who assisted
him.
About one year ago old man Wright
was approached at his home by the al
legged swindler, who persuaded him to
put up eight hundred dollars to be in
vested in green goods. This was done,
and after few days passed the old
man was approached by the stranger
and informed that they were .both in
vOlved in deep trouble by the trans
action, and it would require consider
able money to keep them out of the
penitentiary. Old man Wright, through
fear that the matter would be made
public, advanced the stranger four
thousand more, and soon after received
a letter from Wheeling in which Wright
requested him to meet him at Parkers-
burg, informing him that he had che
thousand dollars Of the last instalment
which he wished to return to him. The
old man at once left for this place, and
was met at the depot by the young
shark, who took him into the rear of a
saloon, and at once made another de-
mand for money under the pretense
that the government would further pro-
secute them if he could not get suffi-
Gent money to bride the detective who
the old man was informed was after
them. The old man at once advanced
another $4,000, all the cash he had.
1t was then that the sharks set trap
for themselves, for during the CONVEX
sation they were interrupted by another
stranger. who represented himself to be
a detective, and they were both placed
under arrest Both men protested
against being arrested but after little
pareying the alleged detective said that
the only way for them to keep out Of
trouble was for the old man to sign GER
tain bonds which after a brief time
the second stranger went out and Sc
cured This the old nan agreed to and
signed the papers now turning out to
be notes for $4,000 which the old man
has since paid and which has caused
the matter to become public
He was robbed of every cent and
compelled to make known the manner
in which he lost his cash. The saloon
in which the transactions are alleged to
have taken place IS known to the Of
fcers, but who Wright's companions
were may never be known
