The Ingalls left Key West at 11 o'cloc: last night, and the whole party was up for an early breakfast this morning, after which all went on deck to wait for El Morro to loom up. Nine o'clock came, but there was no sign of | the castle. General Alger, getting a little impatient, sent to the pilot house to inquire when Havanz would be reached. The reply was. “In about an hour.” An hour and a half passed with | the Cuban coast on the left and Ha- vana was still unsighted.

PARIS, March 26.—Comte Alexandre Damaze de Chauderdy, the celebrated French diplomatist, died to-day. Comte Chauderdy, who was born in 182, entered diplomacy In 181 as an attache of the French embassy in Rome. Five years later he was appointed secretary of the embassy. He held similar posts in the six years which followed, at Weimar, Madrid, Copenhagen and Carlsruhe, in the order named, after which he entered the French Cabinet in 1862 as Under Sec- retary. In 1868 he went as French Min- ister Plenipotentiary to Madrid. Three years later, as a representative of the French Foreign Office, he publish- ed a series of remarkable circulars in re- sponse to notes addressed to the powers by Bismarck, refuting the accusations of the Federal Chancellor respecting alleged violations by France of the Geneva con- vention. He protested at the same time with great energy against the excesses committed in_France by the German troops. After two years in the Chamber of Deputies as a representative of Lot-ei- Garonne. He was appointed French Em- bassador to the Swiss Confederation, be- ing transferred about nine months later to Madrid. In 1881 M. Gambetta nomi- ,nnted him French Embassador to Russia, | but _he did not have time to proceed to St. Petersburg before the Gambetta Min- istry fell. Comte Chauderdy was made a com- mander of the Legion of Honor in 1876 He published several works, among them “The Political Status of the French Na- tion,” “France Following the War of 1870-71” and “France in 1878." — Suicide on an Ocean Liner, NEW YORK, March 2.—Willlam Scott, a corn merchant of Liverpool, Engl 50 years of age, committed suicide on ‘the steamer Umbria while she was en route to this country. He was found on the morning of March 24 {n his stateroom with his throat cut. He had inflicted the wound with & broken bpttle. Kinley authority to appoint two admirals of the navy instead of limiting the grade to one, as it undoubtedly intended. Presi- dent McKinley approved on March 2 “an act creating the office of admiral of the navy,’ providing “that the President is heréby authorized to appoint by selec- tion and promotion an admiral of the navy.” A certified copy of the act was present- ed to Secretary lA)nf by the State De- partment and the former immediately made out the nomination of George Dewey to be admiral. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 3. Notwithstanding the President had ap- pointed officer to be “an admiral of the navy,” as provided for in the act, Congress 'passed the navy appropriation bill, which was approved late on the leg- islative day of March 3, containing a pro- vision identical in language with the act under which Admiral Dewey had been appointed and confirmed. It has been pointed out that the provi- sion, like the act, provided for the ap- pointment of an officer to be an admiral “by selection and promotion.” v WHITE LADS SLAY NEGROES. Two Colored Boys Killed by Em- ployes of a Cotton Factory. CHARLESTON, S.

Two of the mur- derers are mere boys, probably not over 16 years old. About thirteen shots were fired. It is Wifficult to fix the motive for the crime, but it is supposed the shots which_killed the negroes were intended for others. e i, Ends His Life While Insane.

His attack of grip last winter was very severe, and it will take time and the best of care to rid his system of its effects. He caught a fresh cold Wednesday night and this, with some Stomach trouble, made it necessary for him to keep quiet and observe his doc- tor's directions. He has been able to| move about the house, however, and this | afternoon was feeling slightly better. s g STEALS HIS CHILD he Recovers Consciousness at the Re- ceiving Hospital Long Enough to Tell His Name.

He has made the startling announcement that he will temporarily re- tire from the fighting business. In the face of the many engagements that have been booked for him this news will have a chilling effect on his many admirers. His decision is due to an examination made by an Eastern physician yes- terday, in whose diagnosis McCoy has seen fit to place implicit confidence. The fact that the pugilist who is fast climbing to the highest notch in his calling is about to take a rest comes as much a surprise to him as to the world. Yesterday he met his medical friend, who stated to the fighter that he had witnessed his recent San Francisco battle as well as his New York fight with Sharkey and had become convinced that McCoy was in bad condi- tion physically. He urged that he be permitted to make a thorough exami- nation, and this request being granted the two retired to a room in the Occi- dental Hotel, where the diagnosis was made. Hardly had the doctor commenced when he perceived signs of heart fail- ure and advised that McCoy take a vacation in the mountains and a rest, free from any physical exertion. McCoy accepted the advice and the an- nouncement was a genuine shock to his friends when he returned to them a little while later. McCoy will cancel his engagement with Tommie Ryan and Sharkey. Also dates which he has made for exhibitions. The day for his departure from the city is not stated, but he says it will be soon and that he will re- main in the northern part of the State at least four months.
