Mr.. Watterson's Version Of What Took
Place at Hampton Roads.

that all property, except slaves, liable
to con6scation or forfeiture will be
released therefrom, except in cases Of
intervening interests of third parties;
and that libcrality will be recommend
ed to Congress upon all points not
lying within Executive control.
"Thesc two documents stand to day
in Mr. Lincoln s own handwriting.
They are living witnesses at least to
the truth Of his intention and the
magnanimity of his character. That
was all that was meant to be proved by
those who originally gave them pub
lic;ty.
The Cabinet was opposed to Mr..
Lincolns plan. How long will the
wa last? he asked a hundred
days? We are spending three or four
million dollars day. There's the
money, not counting the lives. But
you are all against me and l will not
send the message. Thcrcupon he
put the documents away with the fol-
lowing superscription:
February 5, 1S65.-To day these
papers, which explain themselves,
were drawn up and submitted to the
Cabinet, and unanimously disap-
proved by them.
CA. Lincoln.''

They pretended to water us twice
day, by hauling in from the river on a
wagon, two or three barrels Of water
which were left standing, at different
points in the yard with the top end
open, SO that We could dip it up, in
old rusty oyster cans and drink. They
brought i'll perhaps not more than 100
gallons at time, and as there were
nearly 1000 men to drink We got only
about one drink apiece, morning and
afternoon, and of course had none for
washing faces or hands, and the con-
stant dipping in of dirty hands for
drinks, would soon pollute the water
to frothy blackness, resembling dye
stuff.
The Yankees apologized for the
scarcity of food, with the plea that
their supplies had been cut off by
Confederate cavalry destroying the
railroads, but no satisfactory excuse
was offered for the scant supply of wa
ter. 1t was suggested by some of our
fellow prisoners, that perhaps the
Confederate cavalry had made raid
upon the Cumberland river above
town, and cut off the water. We were
situated very unfavorably for any kind
OF amuscmcnts or pastimc to while
away the dull monotony Of our miscra-
bic existence. We had no cards or
any other gaming apparatus and we
were too much crowded to admit Of
games that required running, but
whenever any passing incident could
be made to assume the features Of in
terest, We drank it in with avidity.
We were frequently entertained with
free pugilistic exhibitions between
two red headed Atlanta boys, Capps
and Powell, who seemed from the first
they met, to hold most bitter grudge
against each other, that provoked
them to many hostile combats. Their
weapons were generally nothing more
formidable than their baro fists, but
they sometimes used small stones and
pieces of scrap iron and at such times
their short, dark, red hair would take
on streaks of deeper crimson hue
from the stains of blood. The com-
batants were so evenly matched in
size, courage, etc., that neither could
hold, nor was willing to yield the
championship. The victory alterna.
ted from one to the other, 80 evenly
as to inspire both with hopes Of the
final mastery.
The symrathies of the spectators or
the opposite sides of the contest, be.
came 30 pronounced that two distinc,
factions developed, a Capps faction
and Powell faction, but the sympa
thizers never interfered with the con
tests further than to encourage and
applaud their respective heroes.--D
l. Walden, in Atlanta Journal.

the House of Lords to hear the kings
speech, which was an unusually long
recapitulation of public events since

connection with Venezuela, regarding
which the speech said: -.
81 regret that the constant complaints
which my government found 1t neces-
sary to address to the government or
Venezuela in regard to unjustifiable
and arbitrary acts against British sub
jects and property during the last two
years have been persistently disre-
earded. and that it has become neces-
/ sary for my government, acting in con-
/ cert with that of his imperial majesty,
the German emperor, which also has
serious causes for complaint against
the republic, to insist on measures OIL
redress
The speech refers to the conclusion
of the South African war, and adds:
! There seems to be every reason TO
hope that material prosperity greater
than any the Transvaal and Orange
! River colonies have yet experienced
may visit these regions, and that all
sections of the population may live TO-
gether in friendship for each other ana
loyalty to the crown" 49,
! Paragraphs deal with the postponed
coronation, the colonial conference, ana
I Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's tour,
which together are expected to pe o.
the utmost value both in respect TO

ents in the future"
| Other topics touched upon were the
expedition against the Mad Mullah ana
/ the cooperation of italy therein, the
acceptance by Chill and Argentina OF

this, country, but for the commerce OF

BOARD OF FINANCE.
HELD An IMPORTANT MEETING
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.


n supPIy-ImpossibIe to Raise s25 900
for CoaI-Might Raise $4,000, but
Needs 1t to Run Ctty Finances.
The regular weekly meeting Of the
board of finance, which was held at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon, turned
out to be meeting of considerable i'm
portance. The board of aldermen at
their last meeting received a report
from the fuel committee which recon-
mended the following in reference to
the coal situation in this city:
Ordered, that the committee on fuel
supply heretofore appointed by the
board of aldermen of this city be and
they hereby are authorized and empow-
cred to order a cargo of Scotch anthra-
cite coal, to be delivered by steamer in
the city of New Haven, and that the
board of finance be requested to at
once appropriate the sum of ten thou
| sand dollars to be used for such pur-
pose, and that said coal when received
| in the city of New Haven be distribut-
| ed by said fuel committee in conjunc-
! tion with the controller of the city of
New Haven to the citizens of New
| Haven at the cost of procuring and
| distributing the same, and that the
! teams of the city of New Haven be
used for the purpose of assisting in
said distribution, and that the proceeds
obtained from said coal be used to pur-
! chase another or other cargoes of coal
! as the necessities of the case may re-
quire until the present distress of the
citizens of New Haven be relieved, and
that whatever moneys remain after
said disposition of said coal be return
ed to the controller of the city of New
Haven to be used as part of the
funds of said city of New Haven, and
that if any moneys remain over and
above the amount which shall have
been appropriated and paid by the city
of New Haven for the above purpose,
the same be used for the purpose of
distributing coal free to such INDECENT
persons as are in need thereof.
The clause in reference to $4,000 was
amended by a vote taken at that time
to read $4,000 and'it was voted to table
it for printing and refer it to the board
of finance at their next meeting, to see
if the money could be raised. After
considerable consideration and discus
sion the board of finance agreed on the
following report, which will be sub
mitted to the board of aldermen at
their next meeting:
Voted, That the honorable board of
aldermen be advised that i'll view OF
the small amount of the unexpended
balances for the year 1902 in the va
rious accounts, the board of finance
is unable to see how the, money asked
for by the fuel committee can be avail
able. The unexpended balances are not
likely to amount to more than $4,000
or $4,000 and a portion of this may
be needed to maintain the ordinary
working of the city department.
The board transferred $1,000 from the
contagious disease hospital',to the con-
tingent and sundry accounts. Also $S6
from water to the election account
After voting to hold next weeks meet
ing on Tuesday, so the city employees
could have their money for Christmas,
the meeting was adjourned.

The location of an office for the new

building is the subject now uppermost
in the mind of Selectman Cook. The

is some opposition to that scheme, and
another project is to put the judge of

some changes there. Nothing has as
yet been decided upon.
