They declared afterward that every
shot they fired hit the mark. AS they
walked aft after being relieved they were
met by Trenchard, who, realizing the
neutral position taken by the United
States in the matter at issue, assumed a
severe tone and asked what they had
done.
"Oh. nothing, SIR replied one OF the
brawny fellows, except lending hand

Returning to the Toey-wan, Tatnall
steamed down, took the junks with the
reserve marines in tow and brought them
up to the scene, where they landed and
stormed the forts.
The attack was repulsed, and many Of
the men were cut off and could not reach
their boats, but were left on the bank in
full sight of their comrades, powerless to
aid them, and exposed to the heavy fire
from the forts.
Seeing this Commodore Tatnall ran his
light-draft Toey-wan close in shore and
took the whole party aboard and out OF
danger, thus saving many more lives.
This action on the part of the Americans
was all the moro telling because of the
fact that q short time previously at Hong

of the breeze movements were hampered
and confused.
At 2 o'clock, when the ebb tide was
strong, the first barrier having been
broken and passed and the Plover, with
the Opossum. was attempting to break
through the guard, the mask was thrown
off. A single gun was fired from the fort
and a moment later all the mantlets were
dropped and forty heavy pieces of artil-
lery opened on the two little vessels at
point blank range Within twenty min
utes the Plover and Opossum had so
many men struck down that their guns
were almost silenced Captain McKenna
of the admirals staff was killed and the
admiral himself seriously wounded in the
thigh.
Tatnau and the other American officers
on board the Toey-wan witnessed the
whole of the treacherous attack with feel
ings of anger and modification.
Finally, seeing the desperate situation
of the British admiral Tatnall exclaimed:
Blood is thicker than water I'll be

At this moment a boat was seen TO
emerge from the smoke of the battle and
pull with desperate energy toward the
Americans. She bore midshipman with
q dispatch for Flag officer Tatnall The
perusal of this note excited him still
more.

commanding the reserve force Of marines
who were unable to stem the outgoing
tide, and get up to the assistance of their
brethren, with an offer to tow them up to
the scene of action, Tatnall got into his
barge with his flag lieutenant, Trenchard
and hurried off to pay IAN official visit,
as he expressed 1t. to the British ad-
miral.
Making his way to the Plover through
a storm Of shot, one of which struck his
barge and nearly sank it, killed his cock
swain and wounded Lieutenant Trench
ard, Tatnall found the British commander
on his quarterback, sitting on camp
stool, desperately wounded but still di-
recting the fight. Forward there was an
eight-inch gun with only one or two men
near, the rest Of the crew having been
killed or wounded and the reserves ex-
hausted.
Tatnall exchanged a few words of con-
dolence with the admiral and said to his
own boat crew:
MY good fellows, you might man that
gun forward till the boat is ready. Just
as you would your own ship"
The Yankee tars went to work at once,
and with a will, and served the gun for
over an hour. when they were relieved

A distinguished honor has just been con-
ferred upon a woman by Emperor Fran
els Joseph of Austria. The recipient is
the well-known novelist, Marie Ebner-
Eschenbach, and the distinction which
she has received is the Austro-Hungarian
medal for proficiency in art and science.
This is an honor which has never be-
fore been conferred upon woman, and
which is only awarded to really great sci
entists and artists. The Emperor select
ed Marie Eschenbach for this mark of
ranked second to none among the famous
writer's of the day. Her novels and aphor-
isms take high rank among modern lit
eFary works, and It is the general opinion
their greatest living poet.
Her best known works are Village and
Castle Tales "Bozena" and 'Lottie the
Matchmaker" The authoress is now in
her sixty-eighth year, and her friends say
that she is as vigorous and bright as she
ever was.

Hopes flagship had used every occasion
to insult and mistreat the men Of the
Powhattan when they met on shore, and
several bloody encounters had resulted.
The next winter, after the Peiho affair,
however, when the Powhattan went down
to Hongkong, it was very different. The
Highfyer was there, and as soon as the
American vessel was recognized as she
steamed into the harbor the British tars
manned the rigging and greeted her with
cheers. Their band struck up Should

the harbor followed suit, hoisting and sa-
luting the stars and stripes.

that arranged for the National
Peace Jubilee to occur here dur
ing three days and three nights of next
month. The occasion will be the tribute
of the entire nation, not of a city, to the
soldiers and sailors who have won its re-
cent victories. The national review held
at the close of the Civil war. though ut
terly different from what is now being ar
ranged for, Is the only event in our his
tory with which it can be compared.
Long before o'clock, the hour set for
the military and naval parade on Tues
day, May %, the opening day of the fes-
tival, hundreds Of people will have gath
cred in the strip of avenue separating the
White House from Lafayette Square,
which will have been converted into a
court of honor constructed after designs
purely original. AS the great pageant
marches through this space It will pass
beneath three triumphal arches, each of
which, it is proposed, will consist of a
stack of three colossal muskets sixty feet
high, represented with bayonets fixed and
belts thrown on.
Midway in the space the President will
view the procession from a stand which,
unless present expectations fail, is to be
a fac smile of the PROV of a vessel Of

A SUBTLE ATTEMPT TO GET NEW TREATY
THwARTED BY THE INDIANS

New Orleans May "a (speciaD.-A story reached
this city tonight from Buehelds showing quite a
new ramihcation of the already complicated stu
alton In Nicaragua II Is about the Mosquito Indi-
ans, of whom ten thousand are located at an
agency two hundred miles north Of Buefelds.
In 1904 the last treaty made with Chief Car
cncc. the head OF the Mosquito tribe, by which the
duties were limited and the method OF their ex-
renditurc regulated. Those conditions have been
much threshed during tho last few weeks,
and II reported few days ago that Zelaya
had actually abrogatod the treaty and was to pu;
the entire republic under one system OF law and
taxation II appears. however. that Zelaya hest
tated to take the final step wthou. the consent
OF the Indians. and in his usual manner went to
work by indirect means.
A few days ago he sent the San Jacinto. his only
vrinboat up the coast from Biuehelds to the Ind
ian reservation, with orders TO bring back thirty
Eve alleged representatives OF the Indians. Those
delegates were however. selected by Torres. and
were ali known to be favorable TO Zelaya.
They were for the most part haf-breeds and crimi-
mails. The delegates were taken on board and the
San Jacnto returned southwark. After their de
par;ure. however. the better element OF the Mos
quito tribe began 70 suspect that trick was being
prepared to rob them OF their special rights and.
after an excited meeting a committee OF thirty
men were chosen 20 follow the origna' delegates
and padded the entire distance to Bluehelds. where
they arrived before the original delegation had time
TO act. The second committee was sent With the
moot binding instructions and warning tina:
death would be meted to any one who accepted
n brbc who drank any spirits.
The original delegation at the sight OF thei- pur-
suers became greatly alarmed Torres had prepared
a banquet for the Indians. the idea being to &c.
them drunk and have them sign new treaty, the
plea being that Reyes. durng the revolution, had
DESTROYED the original document. The Indians.
however. terror-strcken that out of thirty
six only two attended the banquet, and even these
did drinking.
At the time the last news left Bluefelds nego-
tiations were In progress between Torres and tbs
first delegation. with the second delegation sitting
by to see that the cards were not stacked.
The two hundred miles travelled In open boats by
the Indians Is said TO have been an extremely
perilous voyage.
