NIINATURE NAVAL BATHE
In Which Americans in Kowboats Attacked
Spaniards.
Key West, July 19.--A story from the
Cuban coast tells of a glorious celebration
of the Fourth by the crew of the Uncas.
Sighting several boats in Bowen Keys,
where the Uncas could not go, volunteers
manned a small row boat and pulled
Inshore. Men on the Spanish boats were
aimed with rifles, and for more than on
hour a short, sharp battle ensued. One of
the vessels was captured and the two oth
ers iti attempting to escape were sunk by
the Uncas. Though balls whistled fiercely
around tin in, only one American was at
all wounded. The Spanish on the two
boats sunk were all drowned.
LOAN CONCERN
I GOES 10 COURT
And One of Their Ex-Em
ploves Tells Some Tales
Out of School.
j HOW mi) no BUSINESS.
Their Schedule of Rates as Charged
For Small Loans to Igno
rant Negroes.
J. W. Lavar, who was formerly a con
stable in the justice court and lately has
been employed by one of the loan com
panies as a collector, was tried this morn
ing in Justice Balkeom’s -court on the
charge of larceny after trust brought by
the manager of the Welch Loan Company,
one of the numerous illegitimate concerns
that have been doning business in the city
and whose methods were condemned toy the
grand jury.
Lavar, who was defended ably by Mr.
Malcolm Ayer, was acquitted of any
wrong.-doing.
The case excited considerable interest.
It was expected that some of the inside
facts of the business done by these people
would be brought out and in this the spec
tators in the court room were not dis
appointed.
T he "loan company” charged that Lavar
had collected money for them and had
failed to turn it over. Lavar proved, how
ever, that while he had collected the
money amounting to one or two dollars,
he had properly notified the company that
he had made the collection but that he
would hold it against money due by the
company to him and which he proved they
had failed to pay him.
In the course of his statement made to
the court this morning Lavar said:
“These people are here for the purpose
of robbing everybody and are now trying
to rob me. To show you how they rob
people take this same account of the
Welch Loan Company against Will and
Agusta Barron. They borrowed $3, giving
a mortgage on all of their furniture for
the recovery of ($4.60,) four dollars and
sixty cents due by the week for four weeks
at the rate of $1.15 per week or for one
month on which the interest is $1.60.
“At the end oaf the month the parties
can renew their note by paying the $1.60
interest which will make their mortgage
stand for one more month, owing at the
end of the second month $4.60 sti.i, and
by doing this the year round the negroes ■
are out $19.20.
“This is the way they rob the negro,
either of this big interest or if they fail
to satisfy them in their payments they
foreclose their mortgage and take their
furniture which will come very near cov
ering everything. The negro has even
down to a water bucket, ironing board and
smoothing irons.
“When the negro comes to borrow they
will commence to take down what he or
she possesses. If the party says anything
about not'wanting to mortgage all of that
for so little money, they will say what
difference does it make if they intend to
pay the money back. Thus they manage
to get. a mortgage on all he or she has got
and there they bleed him sometimes on
the loan of $1.50 which they will maike
charging the negro 65 cents per week for
four weeks, which is $2.60, SI.OO interest
in four weeks on the loan of $1.50. They
will keep that up for a year and so they
get fifty-two times 65 cents, which they
collect by the week.”
Their scale is as follows:
On $2 it is 80 cents per week for four
weeks or $3.20 per month.
On $2.50 it is $3.80 per month.
On $3 it is $4.60 per month.
On $4 it is $5.80.
On $5 it is $6.80 per month.
On $6 it is $S per month.
The above is correct to my own knowl
i edge.
As this information comes from one of
the ex-employes of the compnay it is in
teresting as going to show the methods
adopted by them in fleecing the negroes. i
In his address to the court Mr. Malcolm
Ayer was particularly and deservedly se
vere on these loan companies.
The company was represented in this
case by Mr. Hope Polhill.

SIGNS ON ARMY RANK
Chevrons on Sleeve Easily Disiinguish Grade
of Noncommissioned Officers.
Wshington, July 19. —Every officer nay
be distinguished by some mark on his uni
form.
A lchevron is a device shaped like the
letter ”V,” worn on both sleeves, just be
! low the elbow, the point of the “V” down.
The only exception to this rule is in the
case of the West Point Cadets, who wear
chevrons to distinguish their cadet rank.
With them the point Is toward the shoul
der.
A chevron is a device shaped like or
three rows of braid. It may be white, red,
yellow, green or even two colored braid.
White denotes infantry; red, artillery;
yellow, cavalry; green, the medical de
partment; the two colored braid various
other arms of the service,
j A chevron of one stripe denotes that the
wearer is a lance corporal—a probationary
• corporal. Two stripes means a corporal,
the lowest warrant officer. He commands
a squad consisting of himself and seven
priviates. Three stripes mean a sergeant,
who commands a section of two or three
squads.
When there is a tiny lozenge of the
same braid within the point of the “V” of
a sergeant’s chevron it tells that the wearer
is a first sergeant. He is the captain's
right hand man, and to all intents and pur
poses the executive officer of the company,
though he has no commission. He keeps
I the company rolls and books.
I “It is enough to get second lieuten
ants, but a good first sergeant is as rare a#
an angel's visit.” is an old saying in the
army.
When a sergeant's chevron is connected
from the end of one leg of the “V” to the
other by a single stripe, it signifies that
he is company quartermaster. He looks
out for the food of the men and the sup
plier for the company—ammunition, tent
age, mess kits, clothing, shoes, tools, wa
gons and the like.
There are several sergeants, dubbed the
non-commissioned staff, attached to the
staff of the regiment.
Their chevrons are those of the eompany
sergean't except that the ends are connec
ted from leg to leg by three more curved
stripese of braid. Inclosed within the tri
angle of the braid thus farmed are the in
signia of rank. A color sergeant has two
tiny flags crossed, a drum major has two
batons crossed, an ordnance sergeant shell
and a hospital steward a red cross.

SHOT IN SHOULDER.
Negro Suspected of Stealing Pigs Wounded
by Mr, Star Rogers.
Henry Flewellyn, a negro, was shot this
morning by Mr. Star Rodgers at Mr. Ed
gar Ross’ place near Crump’s Park.
The wounded man was taken to the hos
pital. He is not seriously hurt, the Dali
'having entered the fleshy part of ihe right
shoulder.
The negro was caught in the water mel
on patch near the yard at an early hour.
A number of small pigs have been stolen
lately and Mr. Rodgers suspected this man
of being the thief.
The Yankee “Tommy Atkins.’’
Aii Englishman, writing in a London
paper, says that physically the Yankee
“ ‘Tommy Atkins’ is a line fellow enough
—deep chested, bull throated and hard its
nails You will never find in it United
States regiment the undersized weaklings
so common in many armies. The reason
is that the higli rates of pay attract to the
colors many more recruits than are actu
ally required, of whom of course only the
best are enlisted. The men are, almost
without exception, excellent shots.
‘ The reason for this is not far to seek.
Stationed for the most part in a wild and
unsettled country, riile practice, confined
with us, so far as the individual soldier
is concerned, to a few weeks in each year,
is with them unceasing. There are no
costly ranges to maintain, nor is it neces
sary to erect butts. The target, a paper
one on a framework of iron, is set up out
sides the fort stockade, and the squads go
down and blaze away their hundreds of
rounds before breakfast. Besides’ this
there is usually more or less game in the
vicinity, and hunting parl ies are constant
iy being organized ”
