ONE ON THE COLONEL.
HE WANTED AN ANSWER, AND THE
SCHOOLBOY GAVE. 1T.

The Colonel Was a little Fellow, and the
Teacher Was Swapping Six Footcr.
With This Data tho Boy Knew Exactly
What He Would Think.
His name wasn't Colonel Bourbon,
but let him be called that for the sake
of this Kentucky chronicle.
That he was little bit of chap
could not be gainsaid by any one who
looked at him. Neither could it be de-
MED that he was interested in education
and was school trustee Oh visitor or
whatever it is prominent citizen be-
comes when he is interested i'll the pub
lie instruction Of his county
Not long ago he visited school in
the country taught by strapping six
footer, and he was asked by the teacher
to mako specch-an invitation the
colonel never refuses and the same
may be said of another not to be men,
toned here.
A leading feature of the colonel's adj
dress was mutual confidence between
scholar a:;, teacher, and he sought to-
make 1t plain by example.
"Now, children, " said the colonel in
tho course OF his lucid cxegcsis, point
ing through the window toward the
railroad which passed quite near tho
little log schoolhousc, "what is that we
see out there crossing tho creek on a
bridgc?"
y railroad, F" answered all the school
with vociferous unanimity.
"Ah? And how do you know it is a
railroad?"
because we can see it"
Very good" smiled tho colonel.
"Now, what railroad is it?''
""The l.. and M
GLOW do you know it is? You can.
see Il and N written on it anywhere,
can you?''
No, sir; tho teacher told u.s.
There was great unanimity OH this
point, much to the colonel<s delight,
but he WASH It through yet.
"You believe what the teacher tells
you, do you?" he asked
"Yes, sir" yelled the school,
"Now"-and the colonel became very
abstruse i'll his tones-''you don t know
me rs well as you do your teacher, and
what would you think if were to tell
you he was lying to your

staggered ut it for minute or two. FL.
nally tow headed youngster, with
scratch on his snub nose and one of his
front teeth gone, held up his hand.
"Wcl1, my boy?' and the colonel
smiled encouragingly.
Tho boy looked critically at the little
colonel lined up alongside of the six
foot schooltcacher, and then ran his
eye up the teacher from foot to head

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Men and Ammunition Landed on
the Shores Of Cuba.
GENERAL AC0STA SAFELY LANDED.
The Patriot Chief Communicates with the
InsurSent Forces-Later d Fierce En-
gagement Ensues Lasting Half an
Hour-The Leydea Under Fire.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 6.-The gov
ernment tug Leyden, Capt. j. II. An
gus, steamed into port yesterday morn
ing, and told the following story of a
desperate encounter with Spanish
troops on the northern coast Of Cuba.
The Leyden left here Monday after
noo with a party of insurgents under
Gen. Baldamore Acosta, and inciad-
ing five Cuban scouts under The
leadership Of Capt. j. II. Doris,
of the United States cavalry. The
Leyden also carried a large guam
tity of arms and ammunition. The
tug landed five men with four boxes of
ammunition and two horses. Gen.
Accosta also landed and penetrated to
the interior, where ne commHni-
Gated with the forces Of the insurgents.
The Lcyden lay to outside until i've
o'clock in the morning, when, observ-
ing z troop of Spanish infantry ap-
proaching, she put to sea and got
safely away The same night She
proceeded to Matanzas, and Tuesday
afternoon another small party landed
near there.
Fearing attack by the Spaniards, she
looked for the monitors Terror and
Amphitrite, which are on the blockade
in that vicinity, but being unable TO
locate them the Leydcn returned to the
original landing place, reaching there
earlyWednesday morning. Here she was
met by Acosta and about 200 CubanS.
half of whom were armed with rid. =.
They united with the men on the tug
and an attempt was made to land tae
remaining arms and men, when a
troop of 200 OF the Villa Vicosa cavalry
swooped down on them and a fierce en-
gagement of a half hours duration 3ol-
lowed.
The Cubans finally repulsed the enc
my, driving them into the woods.
During this engagement several rifle
bullets went through the Leydcn's
smOsestack, but no one was injured.
The plucky little tug then went in
search of the flagship, found her lying
near Havana and reported the story.
Rear Admiral Sampson sent the EaI-
boat Wilmington back with the Ley
den. The two vessels reached the
scene of the landing Wednesday after
noon and found the Spanish cavalry IN
waiting to welcome another attempted
invasion.
The Wilmington lost no time in pre-
~liminaries, but promptly opened fire
upon a number OF small houses mark
ing the entrance to the place. The
gunboat fired four shots, which inme-
diately drove back the Spaniards and
Capt. Dorst, with the ammunition.
landed safely, the Leyden returning
here.
