lo AROUND THE WORLD. General Grant’s Visit to Gibraltar. SAILING OVER MEMORABLE TRAFALGAR Gibraltar as a Classic and Modern Town. GENERAL GRANT AND LORD NAPIER How Moor, Spaniard and Englishman Have Struggled for the Rock. A REVIEW AND SHAM BATTLE. The American General’s Opinion of the British Soldiers. ———— Grsraxtan, Dec. 10, 18' ‘We left Cadiz in the early morning, and the sea was in her gentlest mood. General Duffe, our gallant and genial consul, was with us. The run from Gib- raltar carries you past some of the famous cities of the ‘world. It is the thin line that divides two continents, the barrier over which civilizations have dashed and fallen. So much of the romance of European travel is embraced in these historic memories that you find yourself, even in the presence of Nature in her most gracious and resplendent moods, diverted from the contemplation of her beauty into # revery upon for- gotten ages and the great men who lived then, This city we are leaving, for instance, whose towers are glowing in the morning sun, was founded by Her- cules. The city we left tho other day, Lisbon, was founded by Ulysses. The city to which we are stecr- ing was the Calpe of the classic age. These rocks over which the sunny waves are breaking in smooth, idle fashion, and along which grimy peas- ants are groping for oysters and sea weeds, were the Ultima Thule of the ancient days. Beyond was the dark unknown. This strait was the gete of the Mediterranean, and we feel as we are steaming toward it, as we ses the enclosing hills that almost seem to touch and to mark for us the two con- tinents, we feel that we leave behind us the modern and come into the ancient world. It was through this strait that Columbus sailed when he discovered America. Can you fancy what he felt as he pushed into the sea and left behind him his gentle Mediter- ranean? And as if Providence, in the marking out of the globe, had determined the battle fields of the giants, you are reminded that in all the struggles for ‘the mastery of empires this narrow strait has borne her part. Cadiz vanishes away. It is a long time be- fore we lose sight of her, as fora long time she re- mains glowing on the horizon, likea radiant gem in azure setting. We pass a jetting promontory and enter a bay, and we know that here giants have con- tended, for in this bay was fought the bat- tle of ‘Trafalgar seventy-six years ago, and the might of England was permitted to grapple with the might of France. I suppose no event, for cen- turies at least, was more decisive of the fate of the European world than the battle which took place in ‘these smooth waters over which our small bark merrily courses, and which we, a party of idle, g: sipping tourists, are studying, not without an impa- ‘tent feeling toward the Spanish cooks who are be- hind with breakfast. There is scarcely & breeze to Gisturb its fair surface, so rent and torn on that fateful day. It Nelson had been defeated here I sup- pose England would have been invaded by Napoleon, and, when we sec what great armies have been able to do with the most civilized of nations, is there any limit to what might have been done to England by the army which conquered at Austerlitz? But it was not to be. The fates had decreed that here, on this fishing ground, the ambition of Napoleon should be stayed and England saved. THE ENTRANCE TO GIBRALTAR. It is nota long journey from Cadiz to Gibraltar, and after passing Trafalgar all eyes look tor the teem- ing rock on which England holds guard over the high- way to India. Gibraltar is one in a line of posts which English policy is compelled to retain for the defence of her empire. Oddly enough, the impartial observer cannot help noting that this England, the most inoffensive of nations, always craving peace, wishing to molest no one, always selects for these posts a position of menace to other Powers. From ‘Aden she menaces Egypt, Hong Kong is a guard upon China; from Heligoland she observes Germany; ‘Malta is the outpost of Italy and France and Austria, and to draw nearer to Russia she teok Cyprus. Rather than surrender Malta she went to war with Napoleon. On our own coasts the Bahamas are a menace to the United States. I have heard it esti- mated by those who can form a good opinion that the possession of the Bahama Islands by the English during our war with the South entailed upon the North an expense of miilions that otherwise would have been saved. This neutral outpost of the British Empire really became a port of supply for the South- ern Confederacy, and we were compelled to submit to it or incur a fearful trial. This is one of theaspects of the imperial policy of England which makes its thorn in the side of other nations. I know how Americans felt about it not long since, and I am, therefore, pre- pared to sympathize with the emotions of the Span- fards, who never think of Gibraltar in Spanish hands ‘without deep emotion. ANCIENT MEMORIES OF GIBRALTAR, ‘The history of Gibraltar is a romance. It was the Mons Calpe of the ancients, one of the pillars of Her- eules that you find stamped on modern heraldry. ‘The Roman writers tell of its wonderful caves and cliffs. It was Ptolemy's column of the inner sea, When Islam swept over the Mediterranean in that marvellous invasion which was to give it empire in Spain, which was to threaten Christian supremacy in Europe aud change the march of civilization, it was at Gibraltar that Islam's flag was first unfurled, For eight centuries it was a Moorish fortress, and even now the first object you note as you come in from the sea is the Moorish tower, whose gray walls looked down upon Columbus when with his frail Pinnaces he passed through this strait into the Atlantic. The poets say it was because Roderic the Gothic king carried away the daughter of a Spanish nobleman who governed Ceuta, that this nobleman in revenge planned the invasion of Gothic Spain, But the poets from Homer's time find woman's beanty at the bottom of all achievements and history gives graver reasons. The time was ripe for the fertile host of Islam to invade Spain, and it came. It vanquished the Goth, even as the Roman had van- quished the Carthagenian, to be driven by the Christian. It is believed that the Moslems were tempted to come, because Andalus, as Andalusian Spain was then called, was a winning land, with springs, gardens and rivers, giving fruits and plants, tnd with men and women who would make haud- Bome slaves. But they came, more than eleven hun- dred years ago, within the century weeding the Hegira. Tarik, a Persian, was the commander of the expedition, and the point at which he landed way called Gebal-Tarik, which means Tarik’s mountain, in his honor—s name which soon came to be known, in our modern way of handling names, as Gibraltar, THE SPANISH POSSESSION, So long as the Moslems remained in Spain—moro than seven centuries—they held Gibraltar. the Spanish Kings captured it, Sevilie Archbishop One of Jeading the columns of attack, but it was retaken, | Here the Moslems made their first landing, here was their point of departure, The bishops were famous fighters in those days. Gibraltar seemed to be the frock in the whirlpool of medimval wars, around which the currents of contending armies were ever seething. ‘It was here that the great Alfoneo died, his ariny men- seed by the plague which swept over Europ». His | [ody rests in guaint.old Gordova, Itis, pleasant to, NEW YORK HERALD, read that many Moors came ‘unarmed to to do hom homage to his remains, and that his foe gave orders that the army which accompanied his remains should not be disturbed. Alfonso had a noticeable tint of green in his eyes. Iu 1436 artillery were first used by the famous De Guzman, but the Moors defeated and slew De Guzman and suspended the coffin contain- ing his remains from one of the turrets of the old Moorish castle, where idle travellers go now to look out upon the African hills and the plains of Anda- lusia. All this time matters were going badly with the Moslem. The tide of war, which had flowed on until it almost reached the Pyrenees, was ebbing. The Duke of afedino-Sidonia, son of Guzman, in the latter part of the fifteenth century made a dash at the fortress. The spirit of Islam was faint, indeed, for the town fell after a spiritless struggle. The wise policy of Queen Isabella confirmed the posses. sion. When Charles Y. came in he took pains to strengthen the fortress, expecially against Turkish pirates, who infestea the coasts of the Mediterra- nean. Dashes were made upon the fort and town, trom which it suffered. The crown also made a penal settlement of the place, which was not caleu- lated to improve its tone. In the reign of Charles were begun those series of works which are now among the wonders of the world. Philip II. and his son continued these defences. In the Spanish war of the succession England began to extend her do- minions in the Mediterranean, and this purpose led to another and decisive change in the fortunes of the ve bs THE ENGLISH OCCUPATION. Marlborough was sent out to fight the French by land and Admiral Rooke by sea. In 1704 Rooke made up his mina to assail Gibraltar. On the 21st of July, in that year, in command of an English fleet, em- bracing sixty-three vessels, carrying 4,450 guns and over twenty thousand men, he made an assault on the fort, which surrendered after a gallant defence, and the flag of England has ever since floated from its battlements, In October of the same year a French fleet of twenty-two vessels came into the bay and be- sieged the fort. The siege lasted until April 18, 1705, causing the garrison much suffering. But reinforce- ments came from England and drove the French away. In the Treaty of Utrecht # clause was inserted giving Gibraltar to England—England promising that no Jews or Moors should have their residence in Gibraltar. The surrender was always a sore point to the proud Spaniard. In that day, writes Lord Maben, there was scarcely a Spanish statesman “who might not have applied to himself the saying of Queen Mary, and declared that when he died the word Gibraltar would be found engraved on his heart.” At one time it was proposed to give up Gib- raltar for Florida or St. Domingo, but Spain declined. In 1727 the discontent in Spain over the English occu- pation was one impelling cause of the war and of what is known as the great siege of Gibraltar. The Spaniards had a large army and they made a pro- longed attack. Some Moors and Jews within the town entered into a conspiracy to surrender. They were detected. Two of the Moors were executed and afterward flayed and their skins nailed to the town gates. In 1757 Chatham offered to give up Gibraltar toSpain as a condition ot her not joining the coa- lition against England and restoring Minorca, The offer came too late, Gibraltar remained with Eng- land and was governed with a rapacity and shame- Jessness that would delight the old masters of New York under Tammany Hall. Then came the Amer- ican Rebellion and the alliances between the Amer- icans and the French. Oddly enough, one of the incidents of that war was the siege of Gibraltar in 1779. England was busy with her own colonies and Spain made another attempt to take the town. There was a blockade, during which the people lived on fish and flour, ‘small fish, not larger than sprats, selling for two shillings.” When the garrison were almost starved into a surrender an assault was made. The fort fired red hot balls on the ships, destroying one of the largest arma- ments that had ever been sent out by Spain. Eliott, who made this defence one of the noblest in military annals, became Lord Heathficld. For four years the gates were closed, and only opened in 1783, when the general peace was concluded. King Charles of Spain had staked the resources of his nation on the attack and had failed. In the negotiations that led to a peace and the recognition of American independence Frenklin suggested and the French urged the restora- tion of Gibraltar to Spain. He argued that Ports- mouth could be as justly claimed by Spain as Gibral- tar by England. The question reached Parliament, and Fox in his speech showed what he thought of this town when he said that the American colonies might have been saved to England had a fleet been stationed at Gibraltar to intercept the passage of @’Estaing. Burke added in the debate that “as a post of war, a post of power, a post of commerce and a post which made England valuable to her friends and dreadful to her enemies,” Gibraltar was invaluable. Then England declared that no condi- tions whatever would induce the British nation to cede the fortress to Spain. So the discussion ended, and with it the superhuman efforte which Spain for acentury had made to win back her darling rock. Gibraltar has been in the possession of the English since 1704. That is a very long time, as sovereignties shift nowadays, for any country 0 hold a foreign possession. It waa taken in war and has been held ever since as a citadel of English strength in the Mediterranean. The Spaniard has never been con- tent with the occupation of Gibraltar by a foreigrfr, and yet there is so little in the island intrinsically that the only object of its being held by another na- tion is a sentimental one. If Gibraltar were sold as a piece of real estate to the highest bidder it would not bring so much as the wild headlands on the western coasts of North America, It is a rock jutting suddenly out of the sea, habitable only on its rim or edge, useful only as a fortress. The English hold nothing scarcely but ths rock. There is a little patch of ground just behind, where the troops manceuvre, and then you cross into Spain. AN AMERICAN WELCOME, ‘The sea was very calm as we came from Cadiz, but as we entered Gibraltar Bay it began to roughen. The first thing to welcome us was the American flag fly- ing from one of our men-of-war, There was some difficulty in distinguishing the vessel until we came nearer, when we recognized Captain Robeson and several other officers, our old friends and shipmates of the steamship Vandalia, ‘The General directed his yessel to steam around the Vandalia, and cordial greetings were exchanged between the two ships. As we headed into port the Vandalia mounted the yards, and Captain Robeson came in his barge to'take the General on shore. The American Consul, Mr. Sprague, and two officers of Lord Napicr’s staff met the General and welcomed him to Gibraltar in the name of the general commanding. Amid a high sea, which threw its spray over most of the party, we pulled ashore, On landing a guard of honor pre- sented arms, and the General drove at once to the house of Mr. Sprague, on the hill. GENERAL GRANT IN GIBRALTAR, Mr, Sprague has lived mony years at Gibraltar, and, I believe, is the oldest consular officer in the service of the United States, General Grant is the third ex- President he has entertained at his house, Lord Napier of Magdala, the commander at Gibraltar, had telegraphed to Cadiz, asking the General to dinner on the evening of his arrival, At seven o'clock the Gen- eral and Mrs. Grant, accompanied by the Consul, went to the palace of the Governor, called the Con- vent, and were received in the most hospitable man- ner by Lord Napier, His Lordship had expressed a great desire ton ret General Grant, and relations of courtesy had passed between them before, Lord Napier, who commanded the expeditionary force in Abyssinia, having sent General Grant King Theo+ dore’s Bible, The visit to Gilraltar may be summed up ina series of dinners—first, at the Governor's palace; second, with the mess of the Royal Artillery; again, ot the Consul’s. Then there were one or two private and informal dinners at Lord Napier’s, and, in fact, most of General Grant's time at Gibraltar was spent in the company of this distinguished commander—a stroll round the batteries, a ride over the hills, a gal- lop along the beach, a review of troops and taking | part ina sham battle, Lord Napier was anxious to | show General Grant bis troops, and althongh, as those who know General Grant can testify, he has a special aversion to military display, he spent an afternoon in witnessing a march past of the British garrison and afterward a sharn battle, It was a bean tiful day for the manauvres, Geueral Grant rode to the fleld accompanied by Lord Napier, General Con olly and others of the staff, Mrs. Grant, accompanied by the Consul and the Indies of the Consul’s family, followed and took up her station by the reviewing post. The Lpglish hands all pleyed Amer; SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET. ican airs out of comp!iment to the General and the review was given in his honor. Lord Napier was exceedingly pleased with the troops, and said to Geueral Grant he supposed they were on their best behavior, as he had never seen them do so well. The General examined them very closely, aud said that he did not sve how their discipline could be improved. “I have seen,” said the General, “most of the troops of Europe; they all seemed good; I liked the Ger- mans very much, and the Spaniards only wanted good officers, so far as Tcould see, to bring them up to the highest standard; but these have something about them—I suppose it is their Saxon blood— which none of the rest possess; they haye the swing of conquest.” MODERN GIBRALTAR, ‘The General would have liked to have remained at Gibraltar longer, but there is nothing in the town beyond the garrison. I suppose his real attraction to the place was the pleasure he found in Lord Nupicr’s society and again coming in contact with English ways and customs after having been so long with the stranger. Gibraltar is a military despotism tempered by smuggling. Held in spite of Spain by a foreign Power, without any dependence upon the Power which governs it except that of a soldier who obeys his general, without municipal pride, Gibraltar seems to be a refuge for all kinds of charecters and adventurers, and depends for its support on two in- dustries—first, the industry of supplying the wants of the garrison, and, second, that of smuggling tobacco into Spain. You will have observed from the debates in the Spanish Cortes that Spain complains bitterly that this smuggling costs their treasury several millions of dollars a year, and they ask England to prevent this. But one of the Spanish officials told us in Gib- raltar that the main troubles about this smuggling was the cupidity of the Spanish officials themselv There seems to be’ no reason why England should build and support custom houses for Spain, and there was a panic among some of the merchants at the bare possibility of custom houses being estab- lished. On the other hand, the fair view of the sub- ject you take is that if Englanc holds Spanish terri- tory for her own imperial purposes she should, as an act of kindness to a friendly nation, see that that pos- session does not interfere with Spanish prosperity. DECEIVED AND DESERTED. A GIRL'S STORY OF OUTRAGE AND CRUEL TREAT- MENT—TAKEN TO THE NEW YORK HOSPITAL IN A DELIRIOUS CONDITION. Inspector McDermott, of the Central Office, received a despatch last evening that Annie Massey, twenty- one years of age, was lying at a house in West Twenty-fifth street in a dangerous con- dition, suffering from peritonitis, Acting upon the information a sick-wagon was called into requisi- tion and the patient was removed to the New York Hospital. When she arrived at that institution she was in a very feeble condition, but rallied after restoratives had been applied. A reaction, however, soon set in, and it was found necessary to place her under the influence of morphine to ease her suffer- ings and induce sleep. From all that can be ascertained of the girl's ante- codents it appears that she was of a confiding and innocent disposition. She is emphatic in her as- severations that she is a victim of intrigue and fou play. She was born in this city of well-to-do parents and at an early age was left motherless. Her father married a second time, and her stepmother treated the child cruelly. When Annie grew to girl- hood her father died, and her stepmother, emanci- pated from all restraint, turned the child into the streets to make a living and find a home, RUINED AND TURNED ADRIFT. She found employment as a domestic in a wealthy Jewish family up town. She was content in her new home and worked hard to keep her place. The head of the family had an unmarried brothes ho admired the blooming Annie, One morning, as al- leged, while the family wer’ away on a visit, he torci- bly accomplished her ruin. Annie laid her grievances before her mistress, and she says was turned out of doors. Distracted at such cruel treatment she wan- dered to the river side, where she attem} but was rescued from drowning by a pol ‘was removed in an unconscious condition to Bellevue Hospital, and was soon restored to health. Thence she went in search. of employment and succeeded in getting # situation in t! hold of ‘an actress, Here she rematued until her condition became Known. Sho told her story to her mistress, who took compassion on the wretched girl and treated her with kindness, At this stage of the case @ doctor, whose office is in Forty-ninth street, called upon Annie, and subsequently informed her that apartments had been secured for her in ‘West Twenty-fifth street, where she could remain until after her accouchement. She was also aivon to understand that all the necessary expense had al- ready been defrayed. AGAIN IN THE STREETS, In obedience to these instructions the girl left her protector, the actress, late one evening and songht refnge in the place prepared for her by the doctor. ‘There the lady refused to give her shelter, stating that the pralim liminary expenses had not been ad- vanced, In despair she turned away and re- traced her steps to the home she had been induced to leave. When she reached there the door was locked, the occupants were in bed and the bell was out of order, She could not gain admittance, and inher delicate condition was obliged to walk the strects all night. The doctor called on her again and assured her that the recent dis- appointment was the result of an unfortunate mistake and prevailed on her to accompany him to the rooms he had secured for her. There he at- tended her through her sickness. He represented to her that he was a friend of the man who had wronged her. On that account the doctor was doubly anxious to see her safely over her troubles, he said. Last Sunday she became a mother, but her off- spring was stillborn. Soon after, she says, the doc- rapped up and carried away the body of her dead child. Since then no trace of the little one has ‘been discovered, and the doctor has likewise myste- riously disappeared. ‘When taken to the New York Hospital the patient was ina high state of delirium. lg denounced her seducer and called piteo for her babe, Powerful narcotics had to be, administered to calm hor. It is stated that her betrayer is a leading downtown merchant and belongs to a well known family. The Coroner's office and the Board of Health will take action in ascertaining the fate of the body of the child and the doctor's connection with the case, BAGGED IN A PAWNSHOP. At“Lammon’s” pawnshop on Sixth avenue, near Twenty-ninth street, many new gold chains, watches and various other articles of jewelry have been de- posited, so many, indeed, as to arouse the suspicions of the proprietor, who called at the Twenty-ninth precinct station house fyesterday. Captain Williams detailed Detective Price to investigate. At about seven o'clock last night James E. Topping entered the shop and offered a gold chain to pawn, Mr. Fainmon sent word to the station house, detain- ing Toppin few minutes until Detective sitivel. “Tho” latter arrested ‘Topping po took him into the rear office, where, upon searching him, was found a quantity of awn checks, together with som: pr jewelry which runt for. detective kept nd waited. Presently another ice 1 was unable to ace him in the rear off young man stalked in and inquired for lifs friend, At this the detective stepped out and arrested the new comer, who gave his name as John Fischer, When the fwo prisoners confronted ewh other — the broke down and = said to the detective that the Jewelry had been given to them to pawn by Nathan clerk in the employ of Marx & Co., . ) Maiden lane, The detective then took th prisoners to the station and returned to await the coming of Leiderman, In a few minutes Iv oan walked in and inquired if his friend had been there, where- upon the detective pounced upon ‘him.

COULDN'T BEAR THEIR ORIES. swelry during the last ed the profits with his is seve: teen ye ars of age Charles Balling, an upholsterer, was thrown out of employment over a month ago and since then has been unable to find work elsewhere, He was a mar- ried man and the father of two small children, Last evening he returned to his apartments at No. 1,300 Third avenue, and when he heard his children crying for bread, became despondent and began to brood over his troubles. His wife noticed her hus- band acting strangely during the evening, bit paid no particular attention to him, At about half seven o'clock be retired to his room, and & few momenta later the report of a pistol was heard -in the apartment. Mrs, Balling ran into the bedroom and found her husband lying lifeless <= the bed. He had placed the muzzle of a revolver, known as the “Big Bonanza” to his head and discharged it. The ball penetrated the skull and lodged in the brain, cansing instant death, For some time Mrs. ling was stnpefied with grief and stood motionless at the bed- side, when several of the neighbors, who had wleo heard the discharge of the pistol, entered the spertcnent and dragged her away. The deceased was a native of Germany, forty-three years old, He was said to have been a sober und Jaduatrious man, re spected by all who Knew him, ~ STOPPED TAKING RISKS. 'The directors of the State Fire Insurance Company ot Jersey City have decided not to take any more risks until tne stockholders, who hold a meeting carly next week, take action in the premises. The directors favor continuing the business. Mr. Andrew Clerk, the president, states that there is sufficient money to reinsure the company's risks and leave a surplus sufficient to declare a dividend of forty per cent to the stockholders. The stovk- etdees lane bomn appealed to to make good the de- ficiency in the stock. If they fail to subscribe the risks will be reinsured.
