AN AMATEUR PIRATE.
Major stedo Bonnet Turned from Farm
Ing to FrcebootinS.

Major stedo Bonnet Turned from Farm
Ing to Froebootins.
In the St. Nicholas Mr.. Frank Il.
Stockton continues his sketches of
THE Buccaneers Of our Coast" with
an account of Blackboard" and stedc
Bonnet, two famous pirates. Concern
Ing the latter Mr.. Stockton says: Early
IN tho eighteenth century there lived
IN Bridgetown, in the island of Barba-
dos, q very pleasant, middle aged gen.
tleman named Major Stede Bonnet. He
was a man in comfortable crcum-
stances, and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from
military service, and had bought an
estate at Bridgetown, where he lived
in comfort and was respected by his
nelghbors. But for some reason or
other this quiet and reputable gentle
man got 1t into his head that he should
like to be pirate. But besides the
general reasons why Major Bonnet
SHOULD not become pirate, and which
applied to all men as we'll as to him
self, there was special reason against
his adoption of the profession of sea-
robber-he was an out-and-out lands
man and knew nothing whatever of
nautical affairs. He was fond of his
tory and we'll read in the literature of
the day. He was accustomed to the
habits Of good society and knew a
good deal about farming and horses
and cows and poultry. But notwith-
standing his absolute unfitness for
such life, Major Bonnet was deter
mined to become pirate, and he be-
came one. He had money to buy a
ship and to fit her out and man her,
and this he quietly cid at Bridgetown,
nobody supposing that he was going
to do anything more than start off on
some commercial cruise. When every
thing was ready his vessel slipped out
Of the harbor one night, and after he
was sailing upon the rolling sea he
stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on a great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the
coast Of Virginia. Bonnet's men were
practiced seamen, and so when this
green hand came into the waters of
Virginia he actually took two or three
vessels and robbed themIof their car
4 goes, burning the ships and sending
the crews ashore. This had grown to
be a common custom among the pir-
ates, who though cruel and hard
hearted, had not the Inducements of
der the srsksyMhj c--~SUdC.hmur-
captured. 1t was called "marooning"
and was somewhat less heartless than
the old methods. AS Bonnet wished
to adopt the customs Of the society in
which he placed himself, when he
found himself too far from land to put
the captured crew on shore he did not
hesitate to make them walk the plank,
. favorite device Of pirates whenever
they had no convenient way of dispos-
ing of their prisoners. In one branch
of his new profession Bonnet rapidly
advanced. He soon became a greedy
robber and a cruel conqueror.~ He cap
tured merchant vessels all along the
!. coast rs far north as New England.

CAPTAIN DWELL.
The Brave ArizOni0n Who
 Fell at Sdn Juon.
a Delightful and Picturesque Char acfer of This Territory for Nearly . Score of Years.

When "Bucky" O'Neill went to the rar those who knew him well said that he would be killed if an oppor- unity to die was presented. It was not surprising, therefore, when Ari- xouians read an Associated Press dis patch describing 8 chivalrous deed be- fore he touched Cuban land. Two ne- gro troopers of the Tenth cavalry fell overheard while passing from lighter fO a pier In Guantanamo bay. Death seemed inevitable, yet O'Neill plunged after them to save them They were crushed, but the gallant captain hay ing done his best, escaped.
 Nor was it surprising yesterday morning to learn of his death amid the screaming of shells and the crash of musketry in the fore front Of the battle line before Santiago last Friday Of all the Rough Riders" the regulars and volunteers, there was no man like Tier to fall than the gallant O'Neill The meager dispatches gave few par ticulars of his death, yet all know how he died, rushing forward, falling face foremost toward the Spanish entrench' ments.
 There was general sorrow In Phue. nix yesterday. There was profound sorrow wherever telegraph wire reached in Arizona,f or the bravest o her sons was dead. This and nc more was known, but this was enough
 There was nothing else SO mucf talked about in Phoenix yesterday al Chs passing of the brave captain. 4-~ NR hf1 e Sn Arf zona were recalled, so many that the, cannot be published for want of space He was, in fact, so we'll known, he was 50 conspicuous part of Arizona tha the minor details of his life in this ter ritory were lost in the multitudinou. events of his public career.

Ad- miral Sampson has accomplished the work which he was directed to per form when-hei left Key West, Fla, for the coast of Cuba He was ordered to find and destroy Cervera's fleet. Sev- ers1 weeks ago Commodore Schley To- ca;ed the fleet in the bay of Santiago. Yesterday, after being bottled helpless in the harbor for weeks, the fleet was destroyed. Nothing now remains for the Spanish squadron but shattered and burning hulks.

 As soon as Captain Sigsbee's report came to hand the officials of the navy department immediately recalled the fact that the Spaniards had about that time sent out bulletin describing the flight of an American cruiser before the two Spanish vessels of San Juan, and that particular engagement was identified as the same referred to by Captain Sigsbee.

He was the son of General O'Neill of Washington, D. C., for many years departmental officer and later an active congressional attorney. Twenty years ago O'Neill come to Santa Fe, N. M., as a court stenographer. He came to Phoe- nix in 1880, but immediately whence no one knows. He came in the garb of a Catholic priest and there was story that he had. lately performed clerical duties in the City of Mexico. His life after that was an open book. He was distinguished for his energy and his goodness of heart The name 'Bucky," by which he was familiarity known, was acquired in a manner which ordinarily ought not to be de- scribed, yet in his case it Is we'll to de- scribe it, for If he had not earned that name he would probably not have led his troop of Rough Riders" up the fatal slope toward San Juan last Fri day. He was a fearless and tireless gambler, SO he was called "Bucky," i" yet, as he told the writer less than a year ago, he had not tempted fortune as in the old days since 1891
 Here is an incident of his good heart edness. One day he was defending a man in police court in this city. Mid way in an impassioned plea stranger, ragged and disreputable, entered the court room. As soon as Bucky saw him he quit his argument, crossed the room and held a brief conversation with the stranger and went out with him, making no explanation to the court. After awhile he returned alone and resumed his plea After court adjourned he said the stranger was a man whom he had known some where. He was hungry and out ci funds. He himself happened to have no money, a usual condition in those days, and he had gone out to borrow $5 for him.
 About 1885 O'Neill went to Prescott and three years later he was elected sheriff on the republican ticket. His term of office was distinguished by a
 relentless and successful pursuit of
 train robber, who was overtaken in Utah. After this he settled down to business, made many fortunes and lost
 them in legitimate speculation. He
 was offered the republican nomination for delegate to congress in 1892, bn1 declined it, for he had already veered toward populism. Two years latel
 he was nominated for delegate on the | populist ticket and made surprising. ly strong race. Two years ago he was again a candidate and made stil
 stronger race, though handicapped by l poverty, for he was often unable 10 pay l his stage or railroad fare to the nex

sIGSBEE'S FEAT.
Has Demonstrated the Fact That the Terror Is Not So

Washington, July 3-1n defeating
 the Terror Captain Sigsbee has rem dered a most important service to our
 navy, and, indeed, to all navies. He
 has not only deprived Sampson's fleet
 of apprehension of an attack in the
 rear some dark night by this vicious
 little boat, but he has demonstrated
 that an auxiliary cruiser Is amply able
 to take care of herself against a tor-
 pedo gunboat, showing that the ot-
 fensive power of this last named craft
 has been very much overratsd.
 The torpedo gunboat was an untr1ed
 quality in naval warfare up to this
 time Swifter than a torpedo boat,
 seaworthy and possessed of the arma'
 ment of which the torpedo boa. is void, the torpedo gunbOat has been terror in imagination to all naval men' The presence of such a Spanish gun boat, the Temerario, in the River Platt in the pathway of the Oregon on her cruise around South America was for several weeks a cause for great anxiety at the navy department
 Now Captain Sigsbee has shown that with an unarmored cruiser armed with | only five-inch guns the torpedo gun boats are not to be feared, at least not in daylight.
 The Terror is of English build, hay ing been turned out at Clydebank in 1890. She is low lying, steel craft. | with steel tunnels, of 970 tons, 220 feet long, 22 feet beam and feet inches
 draft. The boat is filled with en-
 zines and boilers, her horse power be- ing near 5000, capable of driving her
 at a speed of twenty-eight knots. While the ordinary torpedo boat car
 ries only little one-pounder gun, His I torpedo gunboat is armed with a for midable battery for a vessel of her size, consisting of two 14-pounders, | two 6-pounders and two 1-pounders, all quick firing and having two 14- l inch torpedo tubes on deck
 The other Spanish cruiser, referred
 to by Captain Sigsbee in his report as J joining in the attack upon the St. Paul,
 is supposed here to be the Alfonso XII.

MOURNING FOR CAPTAIN DWELL.
But Yavapai County Would Sacrifice
 Another Troop.

Prescott, Ariz., July 3.-(SEecial.)- Prescott is deeply stirred over the news received of Captain O'Neitl's death. Crowds thronged the bulletin boards and beset the telegraph offices waiting further news from the front. A Journal-Miner extra confirming the death of Mayor O'Neill was distributed and eagerly read. A large numper ci people from adjacent camps are in town. Yavapai county deplores the loss of her best men, but would send as many more should the need arise. A troop could be recruited on the streets this afternoon.
