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

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.

THKRMAPHONK VS. 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
