A GERMAN EXPLANATION.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung explains that the Kaiserin Augusta, which brought away General Augustin from Manila, left the harbor after the surrender of the city, and asserts that the Spanish officers were allowed to go free, so that General Augustin was able to go whither he pleased.
 When Admiral von Diedrichs per mitted him to go to Hong Kong on board the Kaiserin Augusta" says this paper, ''it was by agreement with the with the American commander-in chief, If indeed the German admiral considered such an agreement still observed that the Spanish troops at Manila bay, by mutual consent, pro- ceed to Spain or Hong Kong
 London, Aug. 1.-The Pail Mall Ga zette comments this afternon on the extraordinary action of the Germans in assisting the flight of General Au- gustin from Manila"
 In terms similar to those used by the Times this morning it sharply criti- cises the proceeding, drawing attention to it's similarity to the German action during the British bombardment of Zanzibar, when the usurping sultan sought refuge at the German consulate. The paper adds: This Manila incident is uncommonly night fragrant breach of neutrality, and is certain to be re- garded as an international discourtesy if nothing worse"

 Haven HOsuital.


 Superintendent Starkweather of the New Haven hospital, when asked last night concerning a dispatch published in the afternoon papers to the effect that soldiers i'll with typhoid and ma larial fever would be brought to New Haven hospital said that he had re- ceived no communication from the sur geon general and hardly credited the report.
 General s. E. Merwin, president of the hospital association, said that he had received a reply to the letter sent by him to General Sternberg some time ago offering the New Haven hospital for use as military hospital. but aside from that he had received no notice that patients were to be sent to New Haven hospital General Merwin said that in his reply to the offer General Sternberg said that he thought the de- partment deemed arrangements already made and those about to be made would be sufficient for the care of sick and wounded soldiers, but that he would put the offer from the New Ha- ven hospital on file, and, if need should arise, might later accept the offer
 Superintendent Starkweather, at the hospital last night, said that with very little notice arrangements could be made to care for from fifty to one hun dred invalid soldiers there.
 The dispatch referred to above was dated from New York and stated that General Young in an interview had said that all the typhoid and malarial fever patients would be taken In the Red Cross yacht to the New Haven hospi- tai.

AN OLD BANK NOTE.
A Bill of the City Bank of Hartford
 Presented for Redemption.

A Bill or the Clty Bank Of Hartford
 Presented for Redemption.
 A bill was handed in at the state treasurer's office Tuesday which was is- sued by the City bank of Hartford when 1t was a national bank The number of the bill was 4,812, and the year of issuance 1865. The Times says of it: The bill contains the signatures of F. E. Spinner treasurer of the United States; F. G. Davis, cashier, and P s. Riley, president of the bank The bill was in well preserved state and evidently had not been used very bank and had 1t redeemed.
 President Welles of the bank was particularly interested in examining the old relic of bygone years, when there was more business uneasiness and greater financial troubles than now He remarked that perhaps he himself, had handled the bill first in cutting it from others in the sheet of bills received from the United States government, as he then held minor position in the bank.
 The City bank was for years a na- tional bank. It started as a State bank and afterwards obtained a national bank charter. Some years ago it sur- rendered its national bank charter and has since done business as state bank. Some of it's notes are still out standing and it is obliged to keep se- curities with the United States govern ment for their redemption.

It was the concensus of opinion that a committee from the Sixth should be appointed to cooperate with ones from the Seventh, Ninth and Tenth regiments, and the First battery, and prepare plans to carry out the project. This committee was accordingly ap- pointed and Judge Beers of Bridgeport was made chairman. Each regiment receives $1,00O from the state and it is proposed that each of the regiments donate this sum for one year.. This bo tp erect 8 suitable monument on the old camp ground.

 London, Aug. 17.-High officials at the foreign office declare that the story, based upon a dispatch from Alden, Ara bia, to the St. Petersburg Viedomosti, to the effect that Great Britain has re- gently assumed protectorate over the whole of South Arabia, is nonsensical, as Great Britain has for many years exercised protectorate over the tribes around Alden, and there has been no change in the situation for the last two decades

MT. Ford was also a member of De Moley commandery, Knights Templar. He leaves a widow and one son."
 The news of MT. Ford's death was received by telegraph at the office of the Winchester Avenue Street Railway in West Haven yesterday and was wholly unexpected. MT. Ford had been an almost weekly visitor to this city and West Haven for many months past. He was fine healthy looking man, ayho from his appearance bade fair to live many years. On his visits here he usu" ally stopped at the New Haven house. He and MT. Kelsey, secretary and treas- urer of the Winchester Avenue Rail- way, were warm personal friends and they had been associated together in business matters connected with the railroad and other enterprises for a number of years. His death will be much lamented, especially as he died while not yet in the meridian of life being only about forty-three years of age. He had been a director of the Winchester road for three or four years and it's president for two or three years.
