A few days ago the death of Com
modore Mayo, United States navy, oc-
Cured, and now a correspondent, who
was an officer on the United States
frigate San Jacinto, bearing the broad
pennant of the senior officer in com
mand, tells this story: The san ia
cinto lay at her anchors in the beau
tiful harbOr Of Havana, where she had
been hurriedly sent owing to the
SQaniards having fred into an Amer
lean merchant ship off Cape San An
tonic, an event that had caused so much
commotion and indignation from the
people OF the United States that it
was supposed the two countries would
90 to war. All the gulf and home
squadrons We're also present in this
harbor when, one lovely morning,
large man-of-war was seen passing I'M
der the guns Of Moro castle, flying
signals which, to everyone's surprise,
were soon made ont to be the num-
bers of old Ironsides, the United States
frgate Constitution. This vessel had
bECh tllt HdSHull VI lIlt African
squadron She had been relieved and
was returning to the United States,
but when off the capes of Virginia
Commodore Mayo, whose broad pen
nant she was flying learned from the
pilot who boarded his ship that all the
available vessels OF the navy had been
ordered to Cuba on account Of the war
that was then supposed to be immi-
nent. The gallant commodore, with
out giving the matter a second thought
although he was returning to his
home after a three years cruise. inn
mediately put his ship about and
started for Havana, very much to the
disgust Of his crew, who attempted a
mutiny, and many of whom were
brought to Havana in irons. AS is
well known peace was patched up FOR
the time and the Dons apologized.
Commodore Mayo was praised for his
prompt and decisive action, not only
by officers Of the navy, but by the
press and his countrymen generally.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Tennessee Settlement.

The long-standing accounts between
the State of Tennessee and the United
States now seem to be in fair way Of
settlement. By a resolution adopted
in May, 1898, congress empowered the
Encouragement, the secretary of the
treasury and the secretary of war tc
sit as tribunal to hear arguments or
behalf of the State and to determine
what amounts, if any, are due to the
State from the United States and what
obligations of the State to the United
States remain undischarged.
The governments claims aggreg lte
about $500, 900 and include State bonds
purchased as an investment of Indian
trust funds to the amount of $500, 600.
The claims of the State amount to
about $1,000, 600 and include the use of
railroads during the war on which the
State had lien; keeping prisoners and
rent of penitentiary and blind asylum
buildings. The authorities at Wash
ington have the matter under consid.
GRAFTON and will render a decision in a
short time.

trial will probably be conducted by

The Colonial Dutch point out that
these prosecutions will serve to make
more rebels, as they consider the treat
ment of the prisoners designed to ter
rify them. Some Britons regard the
prosecutions as impolitic, in view of
the fact that the Beers are able to
retaliate upon the 100 British officers
and the $500 privates IN their hands,
and might do so unless all who fight
in the Boer ranks are treated as pris-
