The events DOW occarri?g in Cuba recall the maooer io which the hooor and dignity of the United States gov? ernment were upheld by Commander Duncan Nathaniel ingrabam in July, 1850, before Smyrna, io the Mediter? ranean. Undeterred by the odds against him, this officer compelled an Austrian warship much the superior of bis own craft, to deliver over to him an American citizen who was unjustly de? tained aboard. Commander Ingrabam, on the sloop of-war St. Louis, was in command of the only ship at that time cruising in the Mediterranean. In June of the year named information was brought to bim that Martin Koszta, an American citizen, was a prisoner on the Austrian warship Hussar. Ingrabam immedi i ately investigated the report and found that it was true. Koszta, it seems, was Hungarian by birth and a patriot by nature. With the hope of freeing Hungary from Austria | he bad entered deeply into the political plots of 1848, and with the overthrow ! of the conspiracy had fled for hts life to the United States. For two years he j lived here, taking out a citizen's first papera and establishing himself in busi- j ness. Then he was called by his affairs ! to Smryna. and he went there openly j in the belief that he was protected, j But hardly had he arrived ID Stnryna j when the Austrian consul-general heard j of it, and one night he was seized and, j at the orders of the consul-general, taken aboard the ??a*sar. . Commander ingrabam sailed into the harbor and went direct, to the American ! consul. Together the two men appear- ! ed before the Austrian consul general and demanded to see Koszta. They refused to accept the consul's word that be was io comfort, and finally they were put aboard the Hussar." There they found the man chained to the deck with heavy irons. Koszta said that he had signed his intention of becoming an American citizen, although be had no papers with him, and on the . strength of this Ingrabam wrote to the charge d'affaires at Constantinople ask? ing for instructions. While awaiting an answer the com? mander learned that the Hussar would sail with her prisoner on June 29. He sent in a protest on Jone 28, asking for delay. No reply was received aod Ingrabam took the matter into his own hands. Hauling up anchor, he beat to wind? ward, anchored above the Hussar, and cleared decks for action. The Hussar, io the face of this menace, did not sail. She had a much heavier armament than the St. Louis, but ber commauder was apparently awed by Iograhams show of action. But on July 1 three other Austrian warships sailed io and took up achorage close to the Hussar. On that day ihe answer came from the American diplomatic representative .vt *he porte He advised Commander Ingrabam that Koszta wa3 an. American citizen aod should be protected. logr?? bala, on the strength of this, acted j promptly. Oo the Austrian warships ; there were nearly double the j guns of the St. Louis. Ingra- j ham manned his guns and j wore around into a position to rake the ; fleet. Theo he sent off a boat to the I Austrian commander with the ultima-j tum: 4'Send that man. Martin Koszta, j ashore within eight hours or I will open ? 5re.'' The grim preparations were I 6een from the Austrian warships, and j their commanders knew it meant husi- j ness. Word was sent ashore telling ? the condition of affair? and presently i the report got around the town. In rear that the port would be ! wiped out of existence a deputation of | citizens waited on Ingrabam. Almost j in tears they begged him not to fight j lograham's answer wa?: "Gentlemen the man must be deliver ; ed ashore or I will take him." Five hours after the ultimatum was sent Koszta was put ashore and in charge of the french consul. Congress voted Ingrabam a medal. ! He died in Charleston, S C., Oct'o ber 28, 1891. A Nice Question of Law. A wealthy German, intent upon a day's outing, wanted ro hire a horse j dealer's best horse and trap, but cet1 knowing his man, toe hcrsj dealer de- , murred at trusting them in his hands. ! Determined to have bis drive, the Ger- : man proposed paying for the horse and the vehicle, promising to sell them back at the same price when he returned. ; To that the other saw no objection, so his customer'? wants were supplied and off he went. He was back in time at the stable, his money reimbursed according to contract, and be turned to go. "Hold on," exclaimed the dealer, "you have forgotten to pay for the hire." v "My dear sir," was the cool reply," "tbere is no hiring in the case. I have been driving my own horse and trap aM day,'' and he left thc astonish? ed man to his refractions.-Philadelphia Inquirer. Homing Pigeons CHARLESTON, May IT r-A special to The News and Courier from King stree, S. C., says: Five hundred hom? ing pigeons weae turned loose here this morning about 6 o'clock. These pigeons were sent here by two sport? ing clubs of Washington D. C. They are being trained for the champion? ship of the District The pigeons, after making a circle or two, seemed to take a direct course for their point J of destination. It is said that in good weather they will make 100 miles an hour, and were expected to commence arriving in Washington I this afternoon by 1 o'clock. These pigeons belong about half; each to the Washington Federation j club and the Capital City club. IL I A. Graham of the Southern Express ; Company had in charge those of the former club, and John Rallow of j Washington those ol the latter. Something new ?od original in tablets at H.G.
