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. Yellow Jnnitalice Cured. Suffering humanity should ho supplied with every means posisble for its relief. It is with pleasure we publish the follow ing: “This is to certify that I was a ter rible sufferer from yellow jaundice for over six months and was treated by some of the best physicians iu our city and all to no tvail.

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.
