Charleston the gasoline yacht Ida Belle
Lowndes of New York.

OF the Niceto. offered to take the crew
aboard his ship, but they declined He
gave them four gallons of oil. They in
tended to try and make Charleston.
Capt UfibarTI made a written report of
the affair to Spanish Consul Humphreys

CITY BREVITIES.

The Mission Circle of Kings Daughters
VIII give an excursion to Wilmington ISL
ana and an oyster roast on Washington 5
brthday, for the benefit of its church
fund, the purpose being to pay off the last
OF the indebtedness on the church which
has been built on the island. These ex-
curslonS have proven so enjoyable to those
VINO nave, on former occasion, patronized
them, that the young ladies' at the solicit
tation of their friends have decided TO
give another. The steamer will leave the
city at an early hour, connecting with the
cars at Ihunderbolt. and returning. will
make an afternoon trip from Thunderbolt
at $3.50 o'clock to the island for the bene-
fiji of those who only get the afternoon off.
During the progress of building the Geor-
Sia and Alabama terminals on Hutchin-
son s Island large quantities of refuse
wood are daily being burned as the sim
pest way of dispoSiug of it, The atten-
ton of a member of one of the contract
ing companies was called 10 this matter
day or two ago. and it was pointed out
to him that the wood thus being wasted
would be Godsend to a number of the
poor people of the city during cold weath
er, and he was asked if the company
would have any objection to its being dis
posed of in this way. He replied that Il
had not. and would gladly give 1t to any
charitable organza lion that would remove
it. This is a liberal offer, and one that
SaVannah'S charity associa lions are likely
quickly TO avail themselves of.

An official of the foreign Office has au-
thOrized the Associated Press TO make the
following statement:
Far from making any objections to the
HayPauncefote convention, France halls
with the greatest satisfaction it's proba BILE
ratification. Its terms coincide precisely
with those of the convention signed by
the Powers al Constantinople in 1888 re-
sarding the neutrality of the Suez canal
1t was France who proposed those terms
Though only theoretically in effect now,
they represent Frances wishes
IF France is satisfied with the regu-
lation controlling a canal so closely iden-
titled with her interests she cannot but
be pleased that the same terms apply to
canal in a section of the world where
her interests are not involved.
Efforts to connect Panama interests
with the convention will be futile be
cause they are not involved as the treaty
does not select a route but only opens the
way for an American canal across the
isthmus and does not designate its posi-
ton. In no way does it conflict with Pan
anna. While individuals in France are
deeply interested financially in Panama,
it is a private corporation and not a gov
eminent concern. Frances consent to the
Hay-Pauncefote convention Will be read
lily and willingly forthcoming"
The suggestion that France shall de-
mand an indemnity for INJURY to the
Panama canal interests is secuted in I'M
Improbable circles.
