N. d i C., John Xewland Maffitt, Jr.. a Confederate pioneer, whose experiences in the civil war are of unusual inter'0 ; , j est at this time, says the Washmg! ton Post. r- j The father of John Xewland Matj! fitt was destined for mercantile pursuits by his parents, but he chose ! otherwise, having his heart set upon g | the ministry. His parents were of "'the Established Church of England, e while he was converted to the Wesleyan doctrines. Tl.a rtr?n/\c5Hr?n ivhif>h llis fhei'isll ed ambition met with at home decid(I ed him to cast his lot in America, h and hence he landed in New York in d 1819, and three years later was reh ceived into the New England conferst ence of the Methodist Episcopal >s church. 2- John Newland Maffitt. Jr.. born in r- Dublin, Ireland, February 22, 1819, ie was naturally but an infant when his l- father left Ireland, and a few years s- later his mother brought him to the l- United States. His father became a noted evangelist and did most of his d work in the South. After the separl ation of his mother and father the n son lived with his mother in New Orleans. At the age of 13, he received t- the appointment to the United States h naval academy from North Carolina. When the civil war came he ie had reached a lieutenancy, and was on the reserve list. But >r follmvinsr the example of so many of the young men of the South. ?- who were officers in the army and navy, he resigned his position and ie was made first lieutenant in the Confederate navy.' His first service was ie in command of the Savannah, defending Hatteras and Port Royal, under 1- Commander Tantall. The early blockading of all Southern ports ren1 dered it difficult for the Confederate cy to establish any considerable navy. During the second year of m the war, Lieut. Maffitt was sent with a cargo of cotton to England, ie Capt. Bullock, the naval agent of s- the Confederacy in London, had contracted with Miller & Sons, shipig builders of Liverpool, to construct a y- line of vessels with which to recruit the Confederate navy, which work, id of course, must be clandestinely performed. While Lieut. Maffitt was in id England, the first vessel in the contract was completed and made ready jf for service. Upon the complaint of the United States minister the vessel h no onH W51Q O. was acucu, uui ?> no , i^ ...... s- allowed to sail, clearing from Liverit pool as the Oreto. At Nassau the Oreto v\as delivered it by Lieut Maffitt, whereupon the United States consul charged that the vesit sel was intended for the Confederacy. The admiralty court ordered her rei lease, and she proceeded to Green it Kay, one of the Bahama islands, and was there equipped with armament l- previously sent in a schooner. The Oreto, now being regularly le commissioned as a Confederate States it naval cruiser, with Capt. Maffitt, commanding. he changed her name to >d that of the Florida, and sailed away ;d to run the blockade at Mobile. An epidemic of yellow fever, which rei duced the crew of 18 men to one firemen and four deck hands, forced the le Florida to make for Cardenas, Cuba. where she remained some time under le medical charge and for recruiting id purposes. She sailed again on Sepa. tember 1, 1S62; ran the blockade at g- Mobile and found shelter under the guns of Fort Morgan, where she was h again fully fitted out and manned, i- Notwithstanding the blockading i-i fleet had been strengthened in order j to capture the little cruiser, she made e- her escape, and a few days afterward I Capt. Maffitt took his first prize off lei the coast of Cuba, for which he was promoted. A few days later he capIt tured and burned the clipper ship John Bell, bound for New York from v- Cuba with a cargo valued at $1,500,000. n- After cruisiner. capturing and destroying commerce until the Florida s- had become one of the most dreaded vessels of the sea. she run into Brest, rt France, for repairs. It was just one year from the date of her equipment n- until the Florida was at Brest, and in that time Capt. Maffitt had caps' tured 55 prizes, some of them very large and richly laden vessels. The yellow fever and other tropical diseases had shattered his health and he te was obiiged to take a rest. With the ae exception of a short time as com5n mander of the Albemarle he nevei saw service again, a ? ot The Injured Colonel. id ue One New Year's morning, a Ken tuckv colonel, who is a regular gues :r- of a Louisville hotel, came down t( at breakfast with a bandaged head.

TELEPHONE.! i Various Advantages Claimed for New Invention Over Old. A DuteJi inventor, P. de Lange. residing in the Amsterdam consular district, has invented a simpie little instrument that seems to be a decid-l ed improvement over the present day; telephone. The receiver and trans- j mitter are so small they may easily; be carried in the vest pocket, taking j up no more space than the ordinary j watch. The cost of manufacture isj estimated at .10 American cents. [ Notwithstanding its diminutive j size, the "thermaphone"?for so the inventor has named it?appears to j have the advantage over the telephone of transmitting messages with perfect clearness and distinctness, vocalization being especially good, and there being no confusion of vowel i sounds, letters or figures. In thej "thermaphone" the magnet and diaphragm of the telephone are eliminated. there being substituted a loop ! of exceedingly fine platinum wire; within a small aluminum cover pierced with minute holes. Currents passing through the wire cause changes in temperature, alternating from heat to cold with great rapidity, the consequent expansions and contractions of the surrounding air becoming evident as sound. The receiver is so small (being not more than an inch in length and about the thickness of a lead pencil) that it may be placed in the air. connection being maintained by a thin wire. Either a single or double reI ceiver may be used, and the hands j are left free to make notes of any | messages transmitted. I*. S. WANTS ASSURANCE. I Germany Must Safeguard Americans and American Ships. Washington. June 10.?The United States in its latest note to Germany, made public tonight, formally asks the imperial government for assurances' that measures hereafter will be adopted to safeguard American lives and American ships on the high seas. The alternative in case of refusal is not stated. It was this note to which William Jennings Bryan refused to attach his signature, resigning instead his portfolio of State, thereby precipitating a dramatic cabinet crisis. Robert Lansing, secretary of State ad interim, signed the communication which went forth with the approval of President Wilson and his entire cabinet. Friendly terms characterize the I document, which renews representa tions made in the American note ot May 15 after the Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk. The German government. it is declared, "must have ! been misinformed" when they as] sumed that the Lusitania carried i guns, as official information is at | hand to corroborate the original contention of the Washington government?that the Lusitania was an unarmed passenger ship which, since it did not resist capture, could not be sunk without transferring passengers | and crew to a place of safety. May Submit Evidence. The communication informs Germany that it is "on the principle of humanity as well as on the law founded upon this principle that the United States must stand. An opportunity is given to Germany to submit any evidence that American officials did not execute their tasks ] thoroughly in inspecting the LusiJ tania before she sailed, but the cardi| nal fact?that the liner was given i no warning and made no resistance I and was primarily a passenger ship J ?the American government claims, throws into the background any | special circumstances of detail" and : lifts the cause "out of the class of | ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion or of international controversy." j The issuance of another statement by former Secretary Bryan coincident with the publication of the note tonight added to the surprise in of ficial quarters at the character of Mr. Bryan's argument. High offi, cials said the note employed the very process?persuasion?which Mr. Bry. an advocated and did not necessarily I lead to war.
