Famous Incident of the Rebellion Re-

During the American civil war two
ENJOYS of the confederate states,
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, were seized
en- board an English ship. This insult
to the British flag could not be passed
over, and disastrous war between Eng
land and the northern states of the
American union seemed inevitable. The

ing under his fatal illness, but not
withstanding the anxiety of the queen
on his account, her mind was unceas-
ingly active to devise means of prevent
ing war. We are in a position to state
on the authority of one of the most
prominent statesmen of our time and
one who had the honor of enjoying in
a special manner the confidence of her
majesty. that it was the queen herself,
in opposition to the views of her min
listers and of the distinguished man In
question among them, who averted the
war. She insisted that the dispatch
which was sent to America demanding
peremptorily the surrender of the en-
voys should be communicated at once to
all the powers and the grave conse-
quences of the conflict from an interna-
tional point of view pointed out.
The result was an able state paper
sent to Washington by Mr.. Thouvenel,
in which he stated that France regarded
che act of the American captain who
had arrested the confederate ENJOYS on
board an English ship as quite unjusti-
fable and expressed the hope that the
federal government would accede to the
demands of Great Britain. Austria and
Prussia Immediately followed suit, and
Prince Gortschakoff, on the part of Rus

monstrances from the powers enabled
the government of Washington to es-

from entering into war which would
in all human probability have ended

and sown the seeds of deathless en-

This had nearly tossed me off into
the sea; and now lost no time, crawled
back along the bowsprit, and tumbled
hcad-foremost on the deck.
Twas on the lee side of the forecastle,
and the mainsail, which was still draw

to be seen. The planks, which had not
been swabbed since the mutiny, bore
the print of many feet; and an empty
bottle, broken by the neck, tumbled to
and fro like live thing in the scuppers.
Suddenly the tHispaniola" came
right into the wind. The jibs behind
me cracked aloud; the rudder slammed
to; the whole ship gave a sickening
heave and shudder, and at the same
moment the main-boom swung in
board, the sheet grooming in the blocks,
and showed me the lee after-deck.
There were the two watchmen, sure
enough; red-cap on his back, us stiff as
a handspike, with his arms stretched
out like those of crucifix, and his
teeth showing through his open lips;
Israel Hands propped against the bull
warks, his chin on his chest, his hands
lying open before him on the deck, his
face as white, under it's tan, as a tai
low candle.
For awhile the ship kept bucking and
siding like a vicious horse, the sails
filling, now on one tack, now on an
other, and the boom swinging to and
fro till the mast groaned aloud under
the strain. Now and again, too, there
would come q cloud of light spray over.

he was too far gone to express surprise.
All he could do was to utter one word ::

It occurred to me there was no time
to lose; and, lodging the boom as it
once more lurched across the deck,
slipped aft, and down the companion
stairs into the cabin.
1t was such scene of confusion as
you can hardly fancy. All the lockfast
places had been broken open in quest OF
the chart. The floor was thick with
mud, where ruf1ians had sat down to
drink or consult after wading in the
marshes round their camp. The bulk

beaded round with gilt, bore a pattern

I went into the cellar; all the barrels
were gone, and of the bottles most
surprising number had been drunk out
and thrown away. Certainly, since the
mutiny began, not man of them could
ever have been sober.

these two furious, encrimsoned faces,

The endless ballad had come to an

company about the campfire had broken

heart jumped against my ribs. There,
right behind me, was the glow of the
campfire. The current had turned at
right angles, sweeping round along
with it the tall schooner and the little
dancing coracle; ever quickening, ever
bubbling higher, ever muttering louder,
it went spinning through the narrows
for the open sea.
Suddenly the schooner in front of me
gave a violent yaw, turning, perhaps,
through 20 degrees; and almost at the
same moment one shout followed an
other from on board; could hear feet
pounding on the companion ladder; and
l knew that the two drunkards had at
last been interrupted in their quarrel

sprays, and never ceasing to expect
death at the next plunge. Gradually
WEAKNESS grew upon me; numbness,
an occasional stupor, fell upon my mind

sHAFTER,s REPORT.
Important Document Covering the
Entire Santiago Campaign.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-General Shaf-
ter today submitted to the war depart
ment his report on the Santiago cam
paign, covering not only the battle of
Santiago, but the entire progress of the
miIItary invasion of Cuba. The general,
ACCOMPANIED by his aide, Captain
Aiiley, came to the department during
the morning and in person handed the
report TO Adjutant General Corbin. He
also brought with him two Cuban
machetes, to be presented to Mrs. Alger
as mementos of the campaign.
The report is voluminous document,
with the supplements of the subordi-
nate officers. and covers about 200 type
written pages. Submitting the report,
General Shafter conferred some time
with Acting Secretary Miekeljohn and
General Corbin. It was stated after
wards that the report would not be
made public for the present, the desire
being to place it first in the hands of
the president and secretary and allow
sufficient time for mature consideration
of its contents. After that there is lit
tie doubt the material portions, and
perhaps the entire report, will be made
public. II repeats the story pretty well
known, although there is much interest
in the view which the commanding
general takes Of several features Of the
campaign.
