FIRST OF THE TROOPS
 TO REACH SPAIN.
Steamer Alicante Arrives at Corruna and Enormous Crowds Gathor on
 the Quay There.

Corruna, Spain, Aug. 26.-The Span- ish steamer Alicante, with the first of Spanish repatriated soldiers to arrive from Santiago de Cuba, reached here Wednesday.
 Enormous crowds gathered on the quays, but were not allowed to get near the vessel for fear of yellow fever con. tagion. All the military and civil au- thorities were present.
 Some of the sick will be taken to the Osa Lazretto, where they will be quar- antined. Others will be kept five days in hospital ships before they are dis patched to their homes. Those who are in good health will be promptly disem parked.
 The queen regent sent message to the troops on board the Alicante, con- graduating them upon their conduct in the field, and saying that she proposed to be the first to welcome them home. The reading of the dispatch was received with great enthusiasm.
 There was no yellow fever on board, though so died of other diseases during the voyage.

For summer lighter and more fanoiful costume will also be needed --foulard Japanese silk or taffeta if silk can be afforded. pretty ohallie if less ex- pensive goods are necessary.

REV. MIR. MUTCI AT THE NORTH
 CHURCH, SPRINGFIELD.

Rev. w. J. Mutch of this city occu- pied the pulpit of the North church. Springfield, Mass, Sunday exchanging pulpits with Rev. F. Barrows Make peace. MT. Mutch is thus reported in the Republican:
 He took the text of his discourse from Isaiah liii:5, And with his stripes we are healed" The prophets picture Of the suffering servant illustrates the principle that a true benefactor has stripes to bear, but they are not in vain The way upward to better things is not direct. The obscure conditions in human nature that stand in the way of progress have to be brought to light by the wear and worry of new experi- ence. Many expectations will be dis appointed, many hopes shattered, but out of the wreck of those hopes may come a corrected and instructed life. There is healing for us in him who realized the prophets ideal of the suf- fering servant; he represented the di- vine energy of redemption pushing for ward to It's goal, but not riding tri- umphant all the way. If effort for re- form in municipal government has been q failure in any city where there is real need of such reform, it is not testimony against democratic lnstitu- tions, but rather against the common conscience, which is not sufficiently awake to put aggressive majorities against designing men and corrupt practices. If that is the real condition, failure is the very best thing that could happen for it reaches the true seat of the difficulty and every true spirit will i turn his attention there. The low pressure of morals in the community will be followed by a more telling dec- 1 laration of righteousness and by its ex- republication in sharper contrast with | the conditions that have prevailed.

BOARD OF COMPENSATION.

No Benefit Assessments for Change of
 Grade in East Chapel Street.
 The board of compensation met yes- terday afternoon in executive session and considered the matter of assess ments of benefits and damages for the widening of Derby avenue for the change of grade consequent on the building of the Derby avenue bridge, and for the change of grade on East Chapel street incidental to the build- ing of the railroad bridge and the pro- posed drawbridge. It is understood that the board of compensation will recommend that benefits and damages be assessed equal for the Derby avenue widening and change of grade and that the same damages before recommend ed be paid for the changes of grade on Chapel street and that no benefits be assessed.
 In previous report the board rec commended to the court of common council that the Fair Haven and Vest vile Railroad company be assessed for benefits. In the case of Derby avenue the previous report recommended the payment of damages. This report was, however, referred back by the common council.

A NASSAU NEWSPAPER.
Yellow Journalism in the Bahamas
 Diminutive Paper.


 Yellow Journalism in the Bahamas-A
 Diminutive Paper.
 The Bahama Daily News is the name under which journal is published at Nassau in the Bahama islands. An is- sue of the paper of February 25, 1898, has been received by a New Haven gentleman. It is a very interesting specimen of the nineteenth century journalism as one sees. 1t is printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper 11xS inches in size. The second page is entirely devoted to cabiegrams for the most part relating to the Maine dis aster and the Cuban question, showing that the editor is alive to the import ance of these questions. Though the entire sheet would be nothing more than speck on one of the pages of the yellow journals, the editor sails in- to the New York Journal with zeal altogether out of proportion to the size of his sheet, as the following editorials show:
 $50,000 Reward for the Detection of the Perpetrators of the Maine Outrage.
 This is what a civilized paper-The 1NCW | Ol n lbNGiiihS oOtil t0l-iu eb SANi- ized country in the 18th century offers; and yet we say the millennium is com ing. Millennium forsooth, the Hellen- ium Is more likely to dawn on an un- suspecting world if responsible news papers make it their object to seize and set on one nation at the throat of the other. The editor of the Evening Journal sitting in his luxurious office in his comfortable easy chair calmly says There is nothing complicated about our national attitude. We ought to fight and this mark you, before the investigation into the Maine disas- ter had begun; Nice, ,hotblooded patri- otic, brave" man that editor In Tuesdays cablegrams we read that the Spanish cruiser Viscaya was closely guarded by navy yard tugs and police patrol boats in New York har- Dor We don't wonder at this when the New York Evening Journal pub lished large illustration showing the Viscaya entering the harbor with a whole network of mines under her. How pictures of this sort must tempt the cranks in New York city. The cir culation of the Evening Journal, ac- cording to their own accounts, was 1.- 025,664.
 Below the editorials are few local items of which this is specimen: The sale of sponge at the sponge exchange yesterday amounted to e2s3' Shipping Intelligence" is divided in- to ships entered inwards" and clear ed outwards." The paper has no adver- Using matter whatsoever.

qoRpEDoEs USED Br THE NAyY.
Lieut.. Commander Mclean Explains the
 Famons Whitehead Weapon.


 Famons Whitehead Weapon.
 Newport, R. T., March 1S.-Lieutenant Commander Mclean was seen at the torpedo station this morning in regard to the report that the Maine had been blown up by Newport torpedo" the commander is authority for the state ment that there is no such thing as Newport" torpedo. The station here is largely for experiment purposes in the way of trying and testing torpe- does, and it has at various times eXper- imented with the Whitehead, Howell and Cunningham torpedoes. The Whitehead torpedo, which is the pro- Jectile in general use in the United tates navy, although the Howell is used to some extent in an automobile affair. In the center of the projectile, which is made in sizes of sixteen and eighteen feet in length, is a cylinder for the reception of compressed air which feeds the mechanism in 4the tail of the torpedo. In front of the cylin- der force compressed air is placed the war-head, which usually contains in the neighborhood of 220 pounds of gun cotton. When the torpedo is prepared for action it is placed in a firm tube. When the firing tube is discharged it throws the projectile distance of fif- teen or twenty feet and the compressed air in the tank is released and sup plies the motive power for the mech anism in the tail Enough compressed air is stored to carry the torpedo 1900 | or 1900 yards. The distance which the torpedo is intended to travel may be 1 guaged by an adjustment of the mech anism in the tail of the projectile. | When the projectile strikes an object | the gun cotton is exploded by detona- | tion by means of charge of fulmi- | nate of mercury in the form of cap | The force of the discharge of 210 pounds of gun cotton Is sufficient, if properly placed, to sink a warship as was demonstrated in the Brazilian in surrection when a single torpedo de- | stroyed four compartments in the bat | tleship Aquidaban, sinking the vessel, | although she was able, under her own | steam, to get from her moorings to a | dock few hundred yards away. The | Howell torpedo differs from the White | head only in the mechanism, while the Cunningham torpedo is powerful, swift and destructive, but uncomfortable.
