A GREAT CATCH.
Hunters Stop at The Spy Office for
Moment to Show a Big Coon.


William T. Taft of Whitinsville, Jar
Wis Thayer of Mendon, and the veteran
coon hunter, H. NJ. Sorrell of this city,
drove up in front of The Spy office yes
terday morning with as pretty a spec
linen of coon as has been seen in this
city this season. 1t would have been
the envy Of the most fastidfous of the
'Ketchum Coon" Club of this city.
The coon weighed % pounds, and was
caught near the ''stone house" at Hol-
den, after a magnificent two hours
chase. His coonship was started by
Mr.. Taft's "Winder" and this famous
coon dog stuck to his work like a ma
jor until the coon was freed. Although
Mr. Taft will easily tip the scales at
200 pounds, he donned the climbers"
and hied himself to the top Of a huge
chestnut, and brought down his game.
The trio were justly proud of their
unusual catch.

be acted upon soon by the city coun-
ell, coming from the members of the

things that the laborers ask for are
that the pay envelopes be distributed
to them when due, some time during
the working hours, so that the work.
men will not be obliged to visit the
city stables after their days work is
done, and the other thing asked for is
a half holiday on election day. so that
the men can vote and enjoy some of the
election dayA luxuries as labcrers do

At Which a Landing Would Be

ulated.

WASHINGTON. May 2l.-The navy
department posted the following bulle.
tin at the close Of office hours:
"The department has information
which Is believed to be authentic that
the Spanish squadron, under Admiral
Cervera, is at Santiago de Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-If the Span.
ish fleet is at Santiago de Cuba, the
fact probably is not known officially to
the navy department, notwithstanding
the fact that the department has been
using all the machinery Of the consular
service, in addition to the services Of
numerous scouting vessels to get and
keep track Of the elusive foe. The war
board went into session early in the
day, probably to consider and weigh
the newspaper reports as to the move
ments Of the Spanish fleet. The fact
that the first report came from Madrid
was regarded in itself as suspicious
circumstance, for it is hardly TO be sup.
posed that the Spaniards are such sim.
pie strateglsts as 70 advise US Of their
plans in that manner. The other report
regarded as contirmatory Of the Madrid
cable, namely, that from the steamer

Spanish admiral would take. Being
we'll acquainted with the Cuban coast,
its facilities for landing. provisioning,

at the outset that Admiral Cervera
would seek to elude the American fleets
by a circuitous route and make for
Santiago. This, Mr.. Quesada pointed
out. was the natural move by which
the Spanish admiral would escape a
battle and would be most secure i'll
