HE RAN CUBAN BLOCKADE.
Spanish Captain Boasts of Having
Twice DOdRed by the Squadron.
From the Mexican Herald

Manuel Deschamps. who. as captain OF
the Monserrat, twice ran the blockade of
the Island of Cuba by the American fleet
during the Hispano-American war, and
who is now in this city. speaks of his
achievements modestly and with sim
plicity of brave seaman.
Yesterday talking to a reporter, he
said:
The general manager of the Spanish
Transatlantic Company chose me to COM
mand the Monserrat in order to convey to
Cuba 400 soldiers, a quantity of ammuni-
ton and 100000 for the needs of the
forces operating in tie stand.
81 accepted with pleasure, being not
only anxious to fulfill my duty toward
the company, but also to do something
for my country in her hour of need. 1
took on my cargo at Cadiz. When l sailed
the war had not broken out, and so in
order to find out just what the situation
was put in at Martinique. They would
hardly let me approach for fear of break
ing the neutrality laws. But I found out
that war had been declared and that the
Island of Cuba was blockaded by a DOW
erful squadron.
Prepared If needs be 10 die for Spain.
and knowing that it would be impossible
to enter the harbor Of Havana, as most
OL tue american squadron was cOnCen-
trated at that port, made up my mind
to run for Cienfuegos and succeeded in
entering that port In spite of the vigil
lance of the American warships.
After staying there six days return
ed to Cadiz and took on another war
cargo of 5000 tons reached Cuba again
on July g. 1898, when the war was at its
hight. l decided not to attempt to enter
Cienfuegos again. but to make my at
tempt this time at Matanzas. 1 waited
until night fall and at about II o'clock,
putting out all my lights, started under
full steam for the shore In spite of all
my precautions I was observed by the
Nashville, which started in hot pursuit
and fired three shots after US, thinking
we were going to surrender but instead
1 cheered my crew and with the words
Dios Patria kept steadily on my course.
Several other shots were fired, some OF
which fell within a few yards of the YES
sci. But when i got nearer land / was
aided by the forts, where the roar of the
Nashvilles guns had been heard, and
made the port In safety and unIoaded my
cargo"
For his services Capt. Deschamps was
decorated by the Spanish government and
the Transatlantic Company promoted him
to the command of the Alfonso. XIII.
The captain recently visited some of the
ports of South America, where his COM
patriots showered honors on him.

PSYCHOLOGY OF THE FLY,
Why the Insects Persists An Return
ing to n Spot From Which 1t Is

Driven.
From the New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.
The pertinacity of flies has caused me
to wonder much of late on the habits Of
these pests" remarked a gentleman yes
terday, "and the recent discussion of the
fly as a dissemination of typhoid has
tended to increase my interest in the mat
ter Did you ever notice the persistence
shown by fly I'm sticking to certain
spot when you attempt to shoe him
away? Invariably he will describe a cir
Gle and alight agin on exactly the same
spot. He will repeat this as often as you
strike at him unless he feels the persist
ence win jeopardize his life.
To-day / conducted a little experiment
with one of these pests, and l made a
rather interesting discovery. The fly con-
verted the tip of my nose into a resting
place. brushed him away. He circled
and relit on the same spot. He repeated
this seven times. l concluded, just from
watching the antics OF the typhoid fiend.
that would allow him to remain as long
as he pleased, in spite of the tickling and
the annoyance of it all. l was surprised
at the shortness of his stay. Finding that
II made no difference to me, and that 1
had resigned TO an unhappy fate the in
sect spread his wings and sailed to anoth-
CT portlon OF tne room. from my ObSer
Walton OF flies they do not care so much
about alighting on the human body unless
they can find some morsel upon which to
feed, or unless violent effort is made to
beat them away.
But the most interesting observation
l have made in this connection has taught
me that ii is comparatively easy to rid
oneself Of the pest. There is one essen
tial: Do not get mad. Good humor is the
thing when II comes to dealing with flies.
II we get angry we strike violently at the
insect. and either on account of sheer
wickedness or because he believes he Is
being chased away from a good thing he
will come back to the same spot until he
feels that his life is endangered by fur
Their efforts to maintain his ground. Try
the gentle. good-natured stroke. In nine
cases out of ten the. insect will leave 20
return no more"

A WOMAN OF MANY SCHEMES.

Mrs Carrie e. Hayes, held to the grand
jury on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses at Washington, d.
c., formerly lived in Atlanta, where. as
Miss Carrie f. McMurray. she had a stu
dio on Whitehall street, and taught music
and painting This was two or three ears
ago. She was also known as the promot
or of "Maxwelton," projected town on
the Central Railroad, not far from Hape-
vile. on account of defective titles the
scheme fell through, and Miss McMurray
resumed her studio. She was also interest
ed in a Cuban colonization schemes The
scheme which got her into trouble in
Washington was the "Montevista Mission
Association" which she represented as
organized to furnish trained servants to
housekeepers. A membership fee of SIS
was required in return for which she
guaranteed to furnish the subscribers at
all times with a trained servant. When
some of the subscribers discovered that
Mrs Hayes scheme existed only on pa
per, the matter was reported to the postal
authorities, and Mrs. Hayes was arrested
for using the mails to defraud.

tom WATSON TO GO ON LECTURE
PLATErORM.

Atlanta News: Tom Watson thinks of
going on the lecture platform. There is
already demand for his services by lee
ture bureaus and chautauqua associa-
tons. The one at GAINESVILLE offered him
$500 for a lecture, but he would not go for
less than $500. He does not care to take
the trouble of preparing a lecture for one
occasion. but is disposed to consider
series of dates in cities at $500 night.
Mr.. Watson is engaged this week de-
Tending Sig Lichenstein. who is charged
with murder at Adrian. Emanuel county,
and Judge Roger Gamble Is associate
with him as counsel. An acquittal Is
predicted. Mr.. Watson has made a great
deal of money practicing law since he
quit politics, and has invested much of it
in farms He finds time 10 study and
write a good deal. as his History of

engaged on a biography of Napoleon,
which he expects to finish by Christmas
Mr. Watson finds the practice of law irk-
scme. His business is largely the defense
of men charged with capital offenses, and
he feels the responsibility so keenly that
he cannot sleep at night while case is
pending. For this reason Mr. Watson
turns to the lecture platform as a means
of income. free from such burdensome
anxiety and more in keeping with his
scholarly tastes.
