DARING FEATS OF A Diveli.
Thrilling Experiences “’hile Recovering
Treasures fronl the Deep.
The Skyro, bound from Carthagena
to London, struck on the Meixiddo
Reef and sunk in twenty-eight fath-
oms, low water. .
The accident occurred in 1891, and it
was not until four years later, May,
1895, that any attempt was made to
recover the valuable cargo which the
sunken steamship contained, the most
tempting part of which consisted of
eighty-eight bars of silver, valued at
$45,000. This treasure was stored
away in a square berth in the cabin,
while in the hold was 700 tons of pig
lead, valued at $70,000.
It was J. K. Moffat, an Englishman,
living in Bilboa, who made the first
attempt on the treasure. After four
or five months’ labor and terrible
under-water work by the divers, all
Mr. Moffiat had to show for his time
and money was a grimy piece of the
Skyro‘s brass cabin skylight grating.
Mr. Moffat let things rest at this un-
til several months later.
During the two months following the
beginning of these second operations a
diver named Erostarbe descended
forty-four times and recovered fifty-
nine bars of silver, the average time
of each descent being thirteen minutes.
After the first thirty-seven bars had
been got to the surface it was found
necessary to use dynamite.
The dynamite so cleared things that
in three dives Erostarbe brought up
over $10,000 worth of silver bars. But
even this adept at submarine work did
not come off without some close shaves
during his career. On one occasion in
coming up he fouled his air pipe with
a float attached to the buoy rope. He
was ascending with a strong impetus
and the impact with the float turned
him downward and his head slipped
out of the helmet below the breast
plate. He could neither right himself
nor replace his head. But he never
for an instant lost his presence of
mind, but worked swiftly and deftly
with his hands in this reversed posi-
tion. He managed to free the air pipe
and shot up to the surface feet fore-
most, whcrc he was quickly reversed
by his assistants and restored to the
world after such a close call as it is
the lot of very few men to survive.—

Absurd Cerelnonial Laws.
In his lecture on “Primitive Relig-
ious Expression,” Professor D. G.
Brinton said that ceremonial law is
found to exist in every tribe and is
obeyed with surprising punctuality. It
is often absurd and ridiculous, but is
obeyed just the same. Among certain
tribes it is against the law to roast a
pig, only boiling of that animal being
allowed; with other tribes no fuel
from two different species of trees
may be used for the same fire, and in
E Kamtchatka’ a certain tribe has a cere-
monial law which prohibits the scrap-
ing of snow from the boots with a-
metal knife and another law which
threatens with boils any one who kills
a. very young duck. It is believed that
punishment for the infraction of any
of these laws falls not upon the indi-
vidual, but upon his tribe. Darwin
found very little religion among the
Patagonians, but the severest cere-
monial laws in vogue.
Stanton ‘Was Doubtful.
Tcrhaps the most brilliant achieve-
ment. of Frank Thompson, the new
president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. .was the construction of new
lines of railway and the reconstruction
of abandoned ones in Virginia. He
was then only 20, and it is related that
Secretary Stanton, on taking his ad-
vice. said to C01. Scott: “Is it possible
that we have waited three days to get
the opinion of that red-headed strip-
ling?" 'l‘hc "sti'iplihg" is now at the
head of the greatest railroad system
in the world.

Cubans Capture Sovurn' Spanish Forts
Af'ver liar-(l l“.z:ht-t. .
HAVANA, March lfI.——-'l‘he'ncws comes
from Sagua la. Grande that on March 3 the
parties of Aniceto Hernandez, Robau and
Julio Dominguez surprised a section of
volunteers belenging to the Sixth com-
pany of that city. the majority'ef whom
were negroes. who were protecting the
cane cutters on the e=tat2 Salvador at a.
mile from the place. Seven of the volun-
teers were killed on the spot and two dis-
appeared.
Many large cane fires are reported all
over Matanzas _ province. the insurgent-s
applying the torch to the fields in order to
prevent grinding. They also set fire to a.
portion of the Matanzas railroad, burning
the cross ties for a long distance The in-
surgents fired on Guanabacoa on Simclay
and Monday nights. .The city was much
alarmed. and the garrison was under arms
during the two nights. No loss was re-
ported.
Several Cuban
leaders in Matanzas
province have received orders from Gomez
to marchtoward Las Villas or Santa Clara
province. The .last information locates
Gomez at Dagamal. near Arroyo Blaneo,
on the borders of Pucrto Principe. It is-
reported that the insurgents -»blew up a
train near Union. Matunzas province, but
details are lacking.
Advices received from Sancti Spiritus
detail the attack made by the rebels on the
town of Parties, on the railroad line from
Tunus to Sancti Spiritus. On the night
of March 5 the rebels, after taking posses-
sion of the town, attacked the railroad
station, which had-been converted into a
fort and was protected by a detachment
ceminandcdby Captain Huertas and con-.
sisting of two sergeants, a corporal, 100
soldiers and about 50 volunteers. The in-
surgents tired on the fort from all sides,
even thrusting their guns into the loop-
holes. ‘l‘ho defenders. despite their stout
resistance, were forced to abandon the
fort, leaving their dead and wounded.
Only a. few volunteers succeeded in es-
caping. A sergeant and :23 soldiers were
killed. The captain and 15 soldiers were
seriously wounded. The telegraph oremtor
was also wounded in the act of sending for
assistance, but this did not come, as the
wires had been out. While this was taking
place at the station fort a party of insur-
gents attackcd another fort at the extrem—
ity of the town. The garrison, which was
composed of a sergeant and 35 soldiers,
was soon overrowcr- d. All perished except
one, who was carried away as a prisoner.
All the arms and munitions were cap-
tured, and the fort was destroyed. The
Cubans were commanded by Miguel Go-
mez, a brave leader, but their numbers are
not stated. It is said that three insurgents
were killed in the attack.
