CALLS FOR COAL
LARGE SPANISH VESSEL WHICH
is EN- ROUTE TO GULF PORTS
FOR CARGO, PUT IN FOR BUN
KER SUPPLY.

One arrival was posted yesterday,
this being the Spanish steamship
Barcelona, which, coming from Eu-
rope, is en- route to gulf ports to load
out with miscellaneous cargo. At this
point large supply of bunker coal
will be received, the steamer to be
ready to go to sea at an early hour
this morning. The Barcelona is a
large vessel of nearly 1000 tons, and
has been here on previous occasion.
Two Steamers Due.
Two steamships to load cargo have
been due for the past several days,
one of them Spanish vessel, and the
second an italian steamer. It was
reported yesterday that the Spanish
vessel had been lowed into Key West
in disabled condition, but nothing
to support this runner was larned def.
initely. The Spanish steamer was due
Thursday last, and was to have been
berthed at Perdido wharf, to which
point large number of worl1men hae
been ordered to start the cargo. Al
the steamer did not show up during
the day, inquiries were made, and the
report became very general that sht
had put in at Key West in tow Of {
liner.
The italian vessel, which was re
ported coming from an Atlantic coas
port, schould be here some time to
day, it is thought.
The steamship Helsingborg, which
was listed for Pensacola destination
has arrived and been reported at Gal
weston, where cotton and some oil
cake will be loaded.

Neil O'Brien's Minstrels.

Neil O'Brien has been a minstrel.
O'Brien is a young man still in his
early ffties. He started young. He

ever since, as he says: "The first time

band up the main street of my home

York, too. He says that was ignor-
ance, not nerve. He didn't have sense
enough then to know that he was
tackling the toughest show town in
the world and he says if his friends
had told him how rotten he was he
would have quit, but they didn't, and
so he stuck to his job. But where
ignorance is bliss It's folly to be wise, 2
