July 3, the navy department has made
public the following report from Captain

follows
AT one of the early sessions Of the board on

strongly expressed my doubt as to the Brooklyn's
position before making the loop laid down by
Mr.. Hodgson. Several other naviga ors-Mr
Comfy and Mr.. Schuetze, know-sided with me
Mr.. lIodgson and | on this particular occasion
walked up and down the port side OF the cabin
of the Brooklyn in which the board was sitting.
ut is my impression that Mr.. Hpdgson claimed
that the Brooklyn was LOO yards from the lead
ing Spanish ship when the turn made. The
board, | think, put it later at | 100 Yards Mr.
Hodgson told me that he felt certain they were
closer than 1,i00 yards and that their stadimetel
gave 500 yards He said, we We're so close that
schley gave the order, lizard to port" said
to him, You mean starboard, do you not?'

Mr.. Hodgson then said he called attention t.
the position of the Texas and told the commo.

New York, June 21.-The World says
Mrs. Addie Barrow will plead guilty tc
the charge of kidnapping little Marion
Clark when her case is called for trial
next Monday. This fact was made evil
dent when after many conferences be-
tween District Attorney Gardiner and
William r. Howe, appointed to defend
Mrs. Barrow, Bella Anderson was sent
to Auburn to begin serving her term of
imprisonment.
Bella Anderson, the nursegirl who as
Carrie Jones, had been the actual kid
naper of the Clark baby, was being held
In the Tombs as the chief witness against
Mrs. Barrow. 1t was her testimony
which resulted in Barrow's conviction,
and the same evidence she gave then was
depended upon by the district attorney
to convict Mrs. Barrow.
1T was soon evident, however, that the
woman's lawyer had determined to give
up the fight to save her from prison and
to make what terms he could by COM
promising with the district attorney and
securing as short a sentence as possible.
Lawyer Howe went to see Colonel Gar
inner as soon as the latter reached his
office. The two men were closeted to-
yether, and then Mr.. Howe went to the
lombs and talked with his client. Again
he called on the district attorney, and
his time an agreement was evidently
cached.
Nothing was said either by Colonel
Gardiner or Mr.. Howe, but half an hour
alter one of the matrons Of Auburn pris-
N, who has been In the city waiting to
axe Bella Anderson to that institution,
at Colonel GARDENERS office.
She had n short talk with him and
1hen she left carried some papers which |
he took to the Tombs A moment later
he left the prison, taking with her
he prisoner. AS soon as they left the |
rison the two hurried to the Grand Cen
raj station, where they took train for
auburn.

THE FEAR OF A MOUSE.
One Instance Where 1t Made q Luna
tic of n Woman.

One Instance Where 1t Made q Luna
tic of n Woman.
A mouse has long been known to be
the bitterest enemy Of womankind.
Just why the average run Of femininity
should fear such helpless, harmless
little creature cannot be explained.
During the civil war famous female
spy was betrayed through the instru-
mentality of mouse. The woman was
incorporating as boy and succeeded
admirably in deceiving the enemy I'M
til one evening while dining with a
party of men at farmhouse black
mouse jumped from cupboard to the
table, almost in the face Of the sup
posed boy. With shrill feminine
shrek the spy threw up her arms and
rushed across the room, and, springing
on a couch, went into Mysteries from
sheer fright. The men, of course, sus-
pected her and, rather than be searched
she confessed but by the aid of the 10y
al old farmer and his wife she made her
escape in the night.
A we'll known woman physician Of
Chicago says she can do any kind OF
surgical work without a tremor, but
the sight Of mouse turns her strange
ly i'll and thoroughly "unwomans" her.
Another woman has such terror Of
mice that she recently went insane
through fright at one of the wee crea-
lures. The woman was sweeping her
cellar when mouse darted out from
an old barrel and ran about her feet
She tried to step on 1t and beat at it
with her broom, calling piteously to
her little boy to help her. But the boy,
thinking she was in fun, frightened
the terrified mouse toward the woman
whenever it tried to get away. At
length the boy rushed at it in earnest
and the mouse darted under the wom-
an s skirts and she fell to the floor in
sensible, only to lose her mind when at
ength consciousness returned to her,

NO CHINESE IN LEADVlLLE,
Two PigtaiIed Celestials Who Were
TubOOed by the Town,

Every well known nationality except
the Chinese is represented in Leadville.
Only two Celestials ever entered the

is unique and interesting. There WASH I
much OF demonstration on their ar
rival, for it was late at night when
they climbed down from the roof of one
of the coaches into the busy streets and
hastily surveyed the strange surround
ings
Word was whispered about in the
dives with which the street was lined,
and soon the pigtails were encompassed
with quiet and gentlemanly mob of
perhaps hundred miners and hoboes
Scarcely a word was spoken, but as

and the mails We're taken from the boot
of the Concord the China boys were as
sisted to the seats they had just vacat-
ed, the driver was given tip and the

of town in much quicker time than
they had entered it, for it was a down
hill pull to Malta, the nearest settle
nlehl down the Sulch There they were
left to shift for themselves as best they
might
What means of communication with
each other these strange little people
have | know not, but the news of the
reception that was rendered to the first
representatives of their race to visit
Leadville travelled rapidly, and the fact
soon came to be understood by them,
in all localities where they congregated
