skill. feeling his. ship so otter
strained by the fearful blow:
from the gunboats that surround>
ed her. She was :he centre oI
an irregular circle-the peri
phery OF which was six staunch
ships trying to destroy her. AT
one time the "Sassacus struck
the "Albemarle" at right angels
with the tremendous force of ten
knots speed, making her reel
and stagger and at the same
thine she received three solid
shots from 100 per rifles that
started her plates, but the "Al
bemarle righted herself aud sent
shell through the "Sassacus' p
which filled her with steam and
drove her out of the fight. At
7:3o p. m, Commodore Smith
baff1ed III every attack and know
ing that his vessels were getting
the worst of it, hoisted the sig~
nal to retire-the "Sassacus" out
of the fight and the "Walusing"
in a sinking condition. The
"Albemarle" had one of her guns
disabled, but maintained her
ground, drove off the enemy dis
abled and defeated, not to say
discounted and mortified, as the
United States Navy always ex>
pected to make short work of
these poorly built crafts. The
"Albemarle" had no speed
to pursue the a fleeing en-
emy, and only those who passed
through the strain of long days
battle, shut up in an iron box
can estimate the exhaustion and
collapse they suffer. One of the
engineers on board described to
me the fearful condition she was
i'll. Everything in her strained
and shattered, and his account of
the efforts to keep her kettle
boiling, as he spoke Of it, by
burning of bulkheads, pork, cot>
ton sheets and clothing, was
really pathetic. Cooke slowly
retired up the river and on the
Goth of May again made his ap-
pearance at its mouth.
One of the Federal ships saw
the "Albemarle," fired a shell
from altar and got out of her
way.
A short time after this the
health of her heroic COM
mander broke down and he was
placed in hospital and never
fully recovered from the strain
he had endured His little ship
"Albemarle' lay at Plymouth in
accountable inactivity, but the
enemy still had reason to dread
her coming out again and deter
if possible to destroy her.
In this they succeeded by dar-
ing and brilliant exploit ofLieu-
tenant Cushing of the U. S.
Navy, who, OIL the night of the
27th Of October, 1864, managed
to run a torpedo into her, while
lying at the wharf at Plymouth,
where she sunk into her native
waters, never to be seen again.
And SO the good ship "Albe
goes out of sight, but not
out of memory, for as long as
men admire professional anbit>
ion, patriotism, and that spirited
kind of courage in war that
makes men seek out an enemy,
and fight him to an issue, SO long
will the "Albemarle" with Capt.
James w. Cooke upon her deck,
form one Of the most striking and
stirring pictures upon the great
panorama of the war between
the States.
1t was only a short time after
the destruction of the "Albe-
that Plymouth again fell
into the hands of the enemy.

fcers of the Western roads met during
the day for the purpose Of considering
the rate situation between Chicago and
St. Paul and incidentally the problem
of getting into the association those
roads which have not yet signed the
agreement. The rate situation is
charged against the 500 line, whose con-
duct, it is said, has done more than any
other one thing to cause decentralization.
1t was at first proposed to adjust mat
ters by allowing the 500 and several
other roads differential. This was at
once refused by the Great Western
which declared that under no circum-
stances would it be differential line.
1t was finally decided that all rates
should be restored to the authorized
basis on June 16, and that if, after that
date, any road has dealings with bro
kers it's competitors may meet the rate.
Any low rate made by the 500 line will
be met by one-way rates.

Authentic Denial Of Reports Regarding

NEW YORK, June IA. 4.-Among the pas

steamer Valencia from Cuban ports, via
Nassau, N. P, was DIR. H. w. Danforth
Of Milwaukee, Wis, who for the past
10 months has been the personal physi-
clan of the president of the Cuban re-
public, Salvador Cisneros, the marquis
of Santa Lucia. The doctor is in the
United States on six months leave of
absence. When he left the president

Spanish sources of his death.
DR.. Danforth was asked to express an
opinion as to the numerical strength of
the Cuban insurgents, being informed
that late advices from Cuba placed the
number at 5000. He said:
"It is difficult, if not impossible, to
arrive at a correct estimate, but you can
say that the Cubans for a certainty have
at least 10000 to 10000 today, armed
and in good shape. The Cubans have
not been idle during the last few years,
and have been importing arms and am
munition right along. In brief the
Cubans are fighting desperate fight,
and are in good condition to continue it..
The Spaniards are also engaged in a
desperate contest, but they are exhaust

ELLIS ISLAND FIRE
GOVERNMENT IMMIGRATION STATION
COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

Hundred People ON the Island Taken
OF I'm Safety.
NEW YORK, June 15.-The United
States government station on Ellis ISL
and, In Esw York harbor, was de.
stroyed by fire during the morning, but
probably without loss Of life. The fire
was first seen at 1898 a. m. by the look
out of the harbor police station. It
spread rapidly and at LOS the caves
along the entire roof began to fall, set
ting fire to the wooden piers and docks
on either side. At 1:12 the whole island
was mass Of flames, Illuminating the
entire inner harbor and the lower part
of New York city.
The end of the building in which the
fire started was used for sleeping, cook
ing and eating by the immigrants. The
detention pen, in which there are al
ways a considerable number Of immi-
grants pelng held IOf lnVeStlgatlOn, was
soon consumed.
Immigrants Safely Transferred.
The 200 immigrants were safely trans
ferred from the island to the barge Of
flee at the Battery, leaving no one on
the island except the firemen and few
attendants.
The ferryboat John G.. Carlisle. which
plies between the battery and Elas ISL
and, arrived at 1:3O o'clock from the
island with the sick from the hospital.
The buildings on Ellis Island were
simply vast wooden sheds made of the
most infammable material. The main
building was 414x154 feet and three
stories high. The cost of the plant is
said to have been $78O,OOO. All the rec
ords were lost.

READY FOR THE SENATE.

Treaty for the Annexation Of Hawaii Said
to Be Completed.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-A treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States will be sent to the senate soon
after the return of the president, unless
present plans be altered. The treaty had
been written and all it's details fully
agreed upon before the president and
Secretary Sherman left for the South.
There is no doubt, it is said, Of the pres
ident's acquiescence in the terms of the
treaty for the reason that he was fully
aware of them before he left.
The treaty is on the general lines of
the treaty negotiated during the admin
istration Of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. 1t
provides for annexation without the ex-
action of conditions on the part of the
Hawaiians as to the form of government
to be vouchsafed Hawaii, leaving that
question to be entirely disposed Of by
the United States.
The United States will agree, howev-

CAN CURE HOG CHOLERA.

Experiments of Railway Companies in
Iowa Have Been Very Successful.
DUBUQUE, Tune 15.-It has been shown
by experiments at many places in Iowa,
under the supervision of the freight Off
cials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St..
Paul and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroads that hog cholera can
be cured. Generally the disease is not
prevalent in summer, but large quan-
tity of poor corn has been fed this year
and new cases are found daily. These
railway companies have Oh file in their
office scores of letters from hog raisers
throughout the Northwest showing that
their efforts to cure and prevent hog
cholera have been signally successful.
