LOUISIANA UNDER SPAIN.
When the Latter Could Not Get n
Hauyluau.

When the Latter Could Not Get n
HanEinan.
When the court martial that Don
Alessandro O'Iteilly, the second Span
ish governor of Louisiana, in 1860, had
organized brought in a verdict of death
against Lafreniere and six of his COM
panions as the leaders of the Louisiana
rcvolutionists against the authority of
Spain, to which country Louis Nv. of
France had ceded the colony, O'Reilly
sought in vain among whites and
blacks in Louisiana for a man who
would perform the abhorrcnt work of
serving as hangman at the execution
of the patriots. Not n man of the col
Ony, says the New Orleans Picayune,
would answer the call. In this cmer
gency O'Reilly was compelled to u.s.
sign the congenial task of slaughter
ing the helpless creoles and Frenchmen
to regular Spanish soldiers whom he
had brought with him from Spain, and,
instead Of being hanged, Lafreniere
and the others were shot to death by
a platoon of %grenadiers in d space Of
ground ear the site of the present
United States mint In New Orleans,
which ut that time was in the real of
the military garrison of the post.
The failure of O'Reilly to secure a
hangman in the ease Of these unfortu-
nate men recalled to old French resi-
dents of New Orleans of that day the
interesting story Of Jeannot, an Afri-
a slave Of the Mississippi Company,
or Company of the West, which fifty
years previously had control Of the col
ony Of Louisiana under a charter
granted by the Regent Of Orleans. The
company offered Jeannot his freedom
on condition that he would act as hang
man Of the colony. Jeannot appeared
to agree to the proposition, but he af-
forwards repaired to a secluded place
and cut off his right arm with a hatch
ct. By this self-inflicted mutilation
Jeannot avoided the repulsive duties of
hangman of the colony, but he also lost
his opportunity for freedom. However,
the agents of the company, not know
ing in what way to utilize Jeannot as
n laborer, a%ppointedihi him as overseer Of
all the slaves belonging to 1t. Poor
Jeannot was rewarded for his sense
of humanity and conscicntiousness by
receiving the respect and esteem of
all the inhabitants of the colony during
the rest Of his life.

NAVAL BILL
MAY NOT PASS,

Washington, March 2S.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: The ma
val authorities are watching with consid-
cradle interest and some fear the action
of congress on the appropriation for nav
al increase. Some Of the department Of
ticials express the opinion that the bill
may be lost. Naval officials interested in
the fate Of the appropriation are strongly
inclined to believe that this years appro-
priatiOn for new battleships'w will be left
until near the adjournment and some of
them are not hopeful that it will b. pass
ed at all.
No one doubts that on the mere uues-
ton of whether the United States shall
have enough battle ships or not the APP
preparation would go through with a rush.
But the old question about the price of
armor still retains it's power to cause
trouble n while there is no opposition
to he bill, there is so much haggling
about the cost of armor thatit may result
in no appropriation at all. The old idea of
having the government establish an ar
nor plant OF its W is revived and some
members of congress favor it if the COM
panies which now supply the government
refuse to come down to their idea of the
right price,. The trouble is that there is
not as yet any agreement as to what the
right price is. There is some talk to the
ERECT that the companies might be will
ling to reduce the cost without any such
menace. but this is always coupled with
the mention of conditions which are not
likely to secure a powerful enough sup
port In congress to insure their adoption.

Plans Of This Government
Made Known.
IS A VALUABLE ISLAND
And Many Millions of Dollars Will be
kSpent in Making it One of tie
Very Best OF Our Fortified COaling
Stations.

New York, March ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
naval authorities nave decided that Guam
s~trategically is of scarcely less value
than Hawaii and rave begun the
preparation of plans to make it one of the
most important nava bases on the Paci-
fic. The projected improvements will in
volve an expenditure of several millions
for a ~breakwater at Port San Luis
D'Apra, a coaling wharf and repair shops
and shore batteries for protection against
assault.
The department has just received COM
plete surveys of the harbOr and port of
the island with exhaustive sOundingS at
the port and making an accurate chart
to be used in laying down the public
works. The project will be perfected by
Il board to sit in Washington and an ad-
visory board may be convened at Guam
to furnish additional information. Ad-
mirals Remey and Kempff will also visit
Guam and make reports before construc-
ton work begins.
1t is proposed to erect on one side Of
the harbor of Port San Luis D'Apra a
coal shed and wharf of 20. 900 tons capac-
ity, with automatic loading machinery.
The immediate necessity for this is shown
by the fact that all naval vessels bound
across the Pacific are compelled to call
for coal at Guam, none of them being
able to make Manila or Hong Kong after
leaving Honolulu with full bunkers, ex-
cept through the exercise of extreme eco
Monty and the maintenance of their low-
est speed.
The army transport service has found
that a whole day can be saved on the
voyage to Manila, by running faster and

The plate was the target for four eight

1882 feet per second, out the velocity in
every case was higher, the maximum being
1850 feet per second. The greatest pen-

recommended to Secretary Long that the
vessel under his command, which will be
the Yorktown. be made the parent ship
for the half dozen little gunboats which
are to be converted into surveying ships.
Rear Admiral Melville, engineer-in-
chief, has submitted to Rear Admiral
Hichborn. chief constructor. the weight
of the machinery that the proposed bat
tleships will require. The machinery for
each vessel will weigh 1900 tons and will
produce about 1850 horse power. The
horse Owe will give the vessel 10 knots
speed. The weight of machinery for the
proposed armored cruisers will be about
1000 tons and win produce about %, 900
horse power. This will drive the vessel
through the water at a speed of about %
knots.

Looking For Harbor.

New York, March 2S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
gunboat Vixen has left San Juan for Isla
Ge veiRues, or Crab island. southeast of
Porto Rico, to loo for a good harhon.
there. She has a complete surveying
apparatus n will make a thorough in
v~estigation of the locality. The explor-
alton is undertaken by the navy depart
ment at the suggestion of the naval war
college which has reason to suspect that
Crab Island has tremendous strategic
possibilities, especially in the event of the
United States failing to acquire the Dam
ish West Indies.
1t is believed that should a good harbor
be found there a fortified naval coalinr
base should be promptly established with
tne OBJECT of more effectively command
ing the eastern entrance to the Carib-
bean than would be obtainable from San
Juan,
