Our own war with Franco in 1700-1S00
was marked by two spirited duels in which
the same ship won imperishable glory for
the gallant new navy. III February, 1893,
the Constellation, Captain Truxton, with
80 guns and 300 men, fought the Insur-
genie, 40 guns and 400 men, in West India
waters. The Llsurgente was one Of the
fastest ships afloat and as good at fighting
as at sailing. Drifting abealn tho vessels
exchanged broadsides for some time.
Truxton's ship suffered In her rigging,
and he answered With well aimed hull
shots. Finally after q couple Of rakine
broadsides, tile Constellation was brought
across the stern of the Insurgente where
her full batteries could rake the enemy
lengthwiso. Before the guns opened the
Frenchnlen hauled down the tricolor.
A year later Truxton chased q French
ship along the coast of Mexico for SO hours
and caught up with her oft Guadalupe
about O'Clock one evening. She proved
to be tho Vengeance. The vessels rnn side

and the Frenchman, with spars intact, ran

Led by " Fighting Joe," the Union

they would not pay Eastman S fare to

suspend sentence in his case. But they
changed their minds. Accordingly East
