HN1OEW or FRENCH ALLIES TO Be RESCUED FROM OBSlIPTTY

of the British and French fleets. and the
deeds OF Admiral de Ternay. 1t is per-
haps due do his efforts more than those
of any other person or body that the
idea of the monument now promises TO
become an accomplished fact.
In an address delivered before the
Rhode Island Sons of the Revolution in
the beginning of 1897. he made stir
ring plea for a fitting commemoration
of those events, of which the following
is an extract:
THE citizens of Newport would be
recreant should they hesitate to join in
such a commemoration. For Rocham-
beau not only brought with him the hope
of triumph to the nation. but a certain
prosperity 10 the town: a revival of
trade in the necessary supplies of the
force, whose numbers. army and fleet
combined. far exceeded that of the resi-
dents of the crippled. desolated little
town; q revival which assumed the pro-
portions of a resurrection. For the sup
plies which were brought into the town
were paid for in coin by the French
commisariat, and in sum which ex-
ceeded probably in amount of the pre-
cious metal any that Newport had ever
enjoyed in the days of its highest pros
perity.
Nor should the society be content
with such q commemoration. 1t should
initiate a movement TO erect monu-
ment in honor of this friendly occupa-
tion: either by statue of Rcchambeau
on the new Esplanade, or a memorial

port harbor to form part Of the base of
the monument.
Substantial interest has been signified
by almost every patriotic citizen Of
Newport In addition, many patriotic
and other societies have taken hearty
and active interest in the project,
among these the Order of Cincinnati,
Sons of the Revolution. Colonial Danes.
Rhode Island Historical Society. the AL
lance Franchise and the Irish-Ameri-
can Historical Society.
A Notable Attraction.
Aside from a patriotic view. the mon
ument will be notable addition to
the attractions of Newport. Several
prominent sculptors. both in France and
America, are now working upon designs
to be submitted to the committee ap
pointed for the purpose OF selecting
design. From present indications, it
will be a magnificent structure. worthy
of the subject it aims to commemorate,
and of the appreciation, admiration, and
gratitude of the descendants of those
whom France so nobly and opportunely
sent to our aid.
Personnel of the Committee.
Sculptors of all natioualities have
been invited TO submit designs for the
monument, on or before October 1. OF
this year The committee, which will
select the design is most distinguished.

port, R. I.
Hon. Elisha Dyer. ex-governor of
Rhode Island. ex-department governor

that American spirit which, while mind

of America the asylum Of nations and
OF the United States the example and

Subscription Opened.
The Cercle Litteraire Franco Ameri-
cain, OF New York. decided some months
ago to open a subscription for the cree
tion of a proper monument at Newport
TO commemorate not only the services
OF Admiral de Ternay, but the landing
of General Rochambeau and his gallant
soldiers on July II. 1850. The project
met with the heartiest support and ap-
proval of prominent men in France and
in this country.
The monument is to be erected upon
the Esplanade. Consent for the use of
this site was obtained from the city au
thorities through the mayor of the city,
Mr.. Patrick Boyle. Stones from the old
French fort to form a base for the
monument have been offered by the
present owner of the property. Mr.. Lorii-
lard Spencer. Special steps are also be-
ing taken looking toward the recovery
of some of the cannon from the wrecked
ships of war lying at the bottom of New
