FARRAGUT RODE A BOBTAIL NAG.
Connecticut Bandmaster Made a
Bull's-eye Hit During Review.
CNew York Sum-

(New York Sum-
In the spring of 1864, when General
Banks was in command at New Or
leans, three brigades were encamped at
Baton Rouge, and the raw recruits
were getting into trim for the following
campaign, and incidentally becoming
familiar with army tactics. Finally a
review was ordered, and Admiral Far
ragut was to be the guest of the occa-
sion. With so distinguished a visitor,
the bandmaSter of each regiment
strove to have a better programme
than any other. Besides the regular
stock music, ''Star-spangled Banner"
Red, White and Blue" Yankee Doc
de-" and Dixie" the band of the
Twenty fourth Connecticut had doz-
en- of the catchy airs of the day, and
the leader took pride in calling for any
thing he wanted, without notice, and
was sure that it would be well played.
For the occasion General Banks and
his staff were handsomely dressed and
superbly mounted. General Grover and
the other general officers, each with
his staff, were also equipped in style.
The uniforms of Admiral Farragut and
his staff were respondent, but their
mounts were such as could be secured
on short notice. and were not only poor
in flesh, but also lacked drill. A large
white horse was furnished to the naval
chief. It was bony and minus a large
part of its tail, the remainder of which
was nervously kept in constant motion.
g @ @
The bugle sounded and the column
passed, marching in splendid form, to
the music of the various bands, each
doing its best. OF course, the marching
men could not see what kind of horses
had been provided for the guests, and
as the Twenty-fourth Connecticut ap-
preached, the bandmaster gave a pecu-
liar sign, and the band struck up, mer-
rily, into ST Bet My Money on the Bob
tail Nag. .Duda, Duda Day. Generals
Banks and Grover were chagrined, and
were about to order a change of music,
when they observed that the admiral
was laughing heartily, and, with hat
in hand. was bowling low to the men
from the Nutmeg state. He appeared
to take it as a compliment from the
regiment to him on his recent passage
of New Orleans, and probably as a
prophecy of his future achievements,
and was enjoying it thoroughly.
The generals were relieved, and what
at first seemed an awkward predica-
ment proved to be one of the funniest
incidents Of the day. A Yankees within
to play something different from his
rivals at an inopportune moment, and
a badly used up coach horse, made a
combination that Farragut often re-

Quartette of Crooks Taken In This
Morning.
THE PLUMBER RECOVERED
SOME STOLEN FROM BARNES,
HARDY & cos. STORE.
Arrest Made By Chief Pratt and
Squad of His Men-Some Lively
Work-One of the Thugs Gazed

mitted An Assault and Battery.

At 1 o'clock this morning four men
were arrested who will undoubtedly
prove to be the parties who burglar
lied the store of Barnes, Hardy & Co.
early last Saturday morning, a large
amount of the stolen goods having been
found in their possession. Their names
are James Adams, w. Morris, c. Wv
ian and F. w. Asmus. all of whom are
safely lodged in the city Jail.
The capture was made at the Temple
rooming house at 107 West South Tenn
pie and proved a very clever piece or
work. Chief Pratt received informa-
ton that some suspicious characters
had secured rooms in the house and
late last night he took Sergeant jan
ney, Policemen Hemple and Raleigh to
reconnoitre in that vicinity. The chief
made inquiry of the landlady, who in
formed him that a half dozen were &C.
cupying one of the rooms, which she
had only rented to two, and as they
were going in and out at all hours of
the night it had made her very sus-
picious of them. She also stated that
she had seen a sack filled with articles
lying in the room. Policeman Hemple,
in citizens clothing, was posted at the
rear of the building and the chief stood

man Raleigh was sent for sergeant
Janney, who was on the lookout a short
distance away. Matters came rapidly
to crisis, for two men came down
from upstairs and Chief Pratt, being
alone, considered it eXpedient to let
them pass, fearing that by arresting
them he would lose the entire nest
above. He did it reluctantly and saw
them go up the street, look about sus
piciously and returning to the corner of
the Valley House take observations
from that point. Meanwhile those up
stairs seemed to have been apprised of
danger, for oine of them-VivIln 7 ass

1t was only to look into the
muzzle of Hemple's gun, how
ever, and that officer gave the right
word to send up the burglars hand.
Sergeant Janney and officer Raleigh
came to the assistance of the chief just
at that minute. They passed upstairs

ACTUAL POSSIBILITIES.
Believed That General Miller VIII
Proceed With Tact--Instructions
Sent From Washington Yesterday
Twentieth Infantry VIII Sail On
the 7th-Other Regiments to Go.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Nothing more
has been heard at the war department
from General Otis since his cablegram
OF yesterday The situation is irritating
in the fact that, according to the eXpe-
rience of the last few days, it is NOT
to be expected that anything more can
be heard from Iloilo for day or two
at least, except in the very improbable
event that the American force has been
repulsed in its efforts to make land
ing and has been obliged to return
straight to Manila
1t IS surmised that General Miller is
proceeding with more tact and with
less rouGAness in his dealings with the
insurgents than appeared from a nfst
inspection of the reports. His purpose
apparently was to avoid such formal
recognition OF the insurgents as might
tend TO enloarass the United states
government hereafter, but at the same
time not to deal harshly with them Z
they can be brought to see the recu-
tude of his intentions. Therefore the
officials are of the opinion that there
viii be no actual hostilities between the
forces arrayed against General OTIS ana
his own, but that at the worst the
former will retire from the city without
accepting or rejecting the American
oYertures until they have heard from
Aguinaldo.
General Otis has taken steps to ac-
quaint General Miller with the latest
Instructions Of the president, and a
special messenger is now on his way
from Manila to Iloilo
Although officials profess their strong
belief that no serious trouble Will oc-
cur, they have taken precautions to eX-
pedite the dispatch Of military REIN
forcements to General Otis command
in the Philippines. Orders have been
issued for the Twentieth regiment OF
infantry. at Fort. Leavenworth, to
time its departure so as to be in San
Francisco by Jthe 9Th inst, in order
to embark on the military transport
being fitted out to sail for Manila on
that date, if possible. The two other
Infantry regiments which are under or
ders to proceed TO the Philippines by
the Pacific route, the Third and the
Twenty-second, will follow as soon as
means OF transportation can be secured.
Three other regiments are also under
orCers TO proceed to Manila by way OF
the Mediterranean and the SueZ canal.
These are the Fourth, Twelfth and
Seventeenth infantry. They will make
the trip on the new transports Mobile
ana Mohawk, and unless present plans
niscarry, they Will embark at New
York on the 18th inst.
