Drummer Posed as Bryan.

San Antonio Special: When vii.
liam Jennings Bryan arrived here
yesterday from a tour OF Mexico
he was silent on the subject OF his
impressions OF that country. II
had been announced that Mr.. Bry-
an would arrive here on Thursday,
and at all the towns along the line
between here and Eagle Pass DEM
onstrations were given by crowds
Of admirers in his honor.
Henry Long, a commercial trav.
eler, OF st. Louis, who bears a
strong resemblance to Mr.. Bryan
was in the Pullman car OF the train
on which Mr.. Bryan was expected
and when the crowd caught sigh
Of him they cheered and called vo
ciferously for a speech. LonG
walked out on the platform anC
was introduced by the conductor al
Mr.. Bryan.
Long then startled the audience
by making strong sound money
speech, saying that his views OF
the financial question had beer
changed completely by his visit t.
Mexico, and that he reached the
conclusion that Mckinley was onC
OF the best Presidents the country
ever had.
This speech was repeated at sever
al places to the amazement and
disgust of majority OF the hear
ers, who were silverltes. The sound
money men in the crowd were
highly elated. No one learned o.
the imposition until today.

A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Four Successive Crews of Confeder.
ates We're Drowned in Her.

Four Successive Crews of Confeder.
ates We're Drowned in Her.
Horatio l.. Wait, formerly paymaster
in the United States navy, writes an
article for the Century on ''The Block
ade of the Confederacy." Mr.. Wait
says:
A submarine torpedo-boat, built OF
boiler-iron, was made by the Confeder-
ates to attack the fleet off Charleston.
She was to be worked by hand-poWer.
Lieutenant Payne of the Confederate
navy, with eight men, started in her;
but she was swamped by the sea, and
they were all lost. The boat was
raised, refitted, and started a second
time. She was again swamped by the
sea near Fort Sumter. This time six
men lost their lives in her. She was
again raised, and a third attempt was
made She sank again, and all her
crew were lost After the lapse OF
some time she was once more raised.
Then Lieutenant Dixon and eight men
made fourth attempt. This remark
able persistence in such desperate
undertaking shows the determined
spirit of the men we had to contend
with. Lieutenant Dixon ran out to the
steam-sloop Housatonic, on the outer
blockade, about 8 o'clock at night. The
officer of the watch saw ripple on the
surface of the water, that looked in the
darkness like a moving plank. He
slipped the chain, started the engine,
and opened fire with small arms; but
before the Housatonic could gather
Roadway, Dixon exploded his torpedo
under her, and she sank in twenty
eight feet of water. The torpedo-boat
also sank-from what cause is not
known. Captain Gray of the Confeder-
ate Torpedo Corps, in his report, wrote:
II am of opinion that she went into
the hole made in the Housatonfc by
the explosion of the torpedo, and did
not have power sufficient to back out,
and consequently sank with her." But
our divers, who went down to examine
the wreck of the Housatonic some time
after. found the torpedo-boat lying on
the bottom. at q distance of many yards
from the Housatonic.
