pOrted Omctanys
 Washington, Jan. S.-A valuable con- tribution to the history of the Civil War is Volume 21 of the official records of the Union and Confederate navies in that war. -e=---
 This treats especially of the naval operations on both sides from the Gulf of Mexico to the Rio Grande. when the Union West Gulf blockading squadron engaged in many brisk engagements with the shore batteries while there are exciting tales of blockade running by the Confederate ships.
 The feature of the volume. however, is the description of Farraguts great battle of Mobile Bay. It was in this fight that Craven went to the bottom on the monitor Teeumseh and also when Farragut gave his famous or- der:
 Damn the torpedoes! Go ahead" Handsome illustrations adorn the volume, which is published under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy by Charles W, Stewart, Superintendent of the Library and Naval War Rec ord.

N"sF
 Frank Denton And Petor Stadler, two boys. eight and ten years of ago, re- spectively, were painfully hurt last af- ternoon. In fact, they came near be- ing killed, while playing with dyna- mite cap and seeing what it would do." It seems that the little fellows found the dynamite cap in the road and began experimenting with 1t. The Denton boy htid the cap. while his companion struck match and started it off"
 There was an explosion and both boys were knocked down. When they were able to get up 1t was found that the Denton be. had lost a joint from two fingers, while the Stadler boy was painfully hurt about the hands and face. Dr. Whorton of Thomas was hastily summoned and a small part of a finger from one of the hands ot the Denton boy was amputated. It is possible that the entire hand may have to be amputated, so severe Is the in- jury.
 Frank Denton Is son of the well known poet. Will N. Denton.

ANGLO-sPANISH AGREEMENT
Result of Recent Meeting Of Edward
and Alfonso.

Madrid, April 26-The meeting OF
King Alfonso and King Edward at
Cartagena. according TO the COrrespon-
dencia de la Espana which says it has
diplomatic authority for the story, re-
suited in the perfection Of farreach-
ing understanding for the purposes OF
war and peace,
Everything concerning Morocco was
ratified, everything in reference to the
general European situation was dis
cussed and the basis was formulated
of an agreement which is now in the
hands of the diplomatists.
The outcome, according to the Cor
respondencia, is the result of the COM
petition between Germany and Great
Britain for an understanding with
Spain, in which Great Britain has
scored all along.
The Correspondence represents
Great Britain as agreeing in effect that
il Spain would allow Spanish naval
ports to be used by British fleets the
latter would help Spain in the CONVEX
sion of her existing debt. British
squadrons would guarantee the secur'
ity of the Spanish coasts, the Spanish
land forces would, if necessary, be
allies of the British and the British
forces would be at the disposal Of
Spain should the latter need them.
SPANS obligation, under the agree
ment, would be to put her arsenals in
order and to fortify her ports.

TO REMEDY CAR SHORTAGE
American Railway Association Takes
Decisive Action.

Chicago, April 26.-Decisive action
was taken here by the American Rail-
way association to remedy the car
shortage that for several months has
been causing so much worry among
shippers throughout the country, SO
far as the trouble has been due to the
lack of proper and equitable inter-
change arrangements. The failure of
some roads to furnish sufficient equip
ment for their own traffic and the
failure to provide and enforce proper
rules for the return of foreign cars
were declared responsible for the
shortage. To remedy the evil the as
sociation adopted rule to be con-
firmed by letter ballot of all the roads
providing that any railroad which
shall hereafter not promptly return to
it's owner after unloading all cars con-
signed to it shall be penalized IS for
each car so misused, to be paid to the
owner of the car This penalty is in
addition to the per diem charge of SO
cents which after July l each road
must pay for each car not its own
which may be on it's line.
In order to make the new rule more
effective, the principle of publicity is
to be invoked through the car clearing
house recently established in Chicago.
Up to now this organization has con-
fined its work to gathering confidential
statistics. By the adoption of the
new rule the chairman is now autho-
rized to send to each of the members
statement comprising the informal
tion already collected as to the car
location, percentage of equipment on
line, of total owned and unified car
orders. This the association believes
will enable each railroad to know ex-
actly what lines are delinquent in the
matter of furnishing adequate cars or
failing to return cars to their home
lines.
