the commander 81 the Hudson and
called for line.
Don't miss it, shouted an officer
from the Hudson, and with a smile
Bagley called back LET her come.
It's getting too hot here for comfort y
The line was thrown and, at the same
instant, shell burst in the very midst
of the group of men ON board the
Winslow.
Bagley was instantly killed and few
others dropped about him Half dozen
more fell grooming on the blood stained
deck. One Of the dead men pitched
headlong over the side of the boat, bat
his feet caught on the iron rail and he
was hauled back.
Bagley lay stretched on the deck with
his face completely torn away and the
upper part of his body shattered.
Finally the Hudson succeeded in get.
ting a line on board the Winslow and
was towing her out of the deadly range
when the line parted, and again both
boats were at the mercy of the Spanish
fire.
The Hudson managed to get another
line to the deck of the Winslow, but
there were only three men left at that
time to make it fast The line was
finally secured and the Winslow was
towed up to Pedras island.
1t is now known that the American
boats made furious havoc with Cardei rs
harbor and town. The captain of the
Hudson said:
81 know we destroyed large part of
their town near the wharves, burned
one of their gunboats and | think de-
stroyed two other torpedo destroyers.
We were i'll a vortex of shot shell and
smoke, ana could not tell accurately;
but we saw one of their boats on fire
and sinking soon after the action began.
Then large building near the wharf,
/ think the barracks, took fire and many
other buildings were soon burning. The
Spanish had masked batteries on all
sides of us, hidden i'll bushes and be-
hind houses. They set trap for us.
As soon as we got within range of their
batteries they would move them.
think their guns were field pieces. Our
large boats could not get into the har-
Dor to help us on account of the shallow
water"

TROUBLES ARE MANY.
Camp Lee is Evidently Not a
Very Congenial Place.

Ten Companies Have Passed the Physi-

Been Mustered in Owing to Absence
of Officers and Delays in Making Out

coming. Question Of precedence takes
up much Of the Officers Attention.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 1.-The
officers who have in charge the work
of organizing the first regiment Of
West Virginia volunteers at Camp Lee
have been worried over numerous diff
ficulties to-day which have retarded
the work. Ten companies have been
put through the physical examination
but only six of these have mustered
in, owing to the absence of officers
and the delay of getting the muster
rolls made out Company ID, Of
Clarksburg, would have been mustered
in to-day but for the absence Of Lieut..
Osborn, who is on a visit home.
Company II, of Martinsburg, is ready
to be mustered in, but there is hitch
on account of the conduct Of one of
the lieuteLants who, it is said, will be
reduced to the ranks.
Quite a number Of the new recruits
are talking Of leaving for home on ac-
count Of their not receiving any pay
until they are mustered into service.
The question of rank and precedent
is again being discussed IN camp and
great many complaints are heard.
Although the rule of the army is that
the companies of a regiment shall
take rank in the order of their muster
Gov. Atkinson says that as far as he
can arrange it they will keep the rank
which they held in the national guard.
He will issue the commissions ac-
cording to that rule.
The governor has revoked the COM
mission of First Lieutenant Charles

he having been proven guilty of being
drunk and bringing women of Ques-

Charges were preferred against him
by Captain Collett.
Cramer was captain Of the old COM

company here on the call of the gov

one Of the lucky companies drawn for
service, and he being anxious to go to

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The setback
received by the American blockading
squadron in the engagement in Car
denas harbor and the loss of five lives on
board the terpedoboat Winslow had a
SOLDERING effect on the element in the
navy which is crying out for rapid action
and efforts at destroying batteries with
unarmored ships There probably will
be some sort of inquiry instituted to as
certain the responsibility of sending
such unprotected shells as the Winslow
against fortified ports. 1t is miraculous,
in the opinion of the elder officers at the
department. that the damage and loss of
life were confined to the Winslow, for
the other boats with her were very little
better off in the matter of protection
and scarcely any of them could resist
the fire of a small rifle. 1t is likely that
if such work as was attempted at Car
denas is to be done hereafter the task
will be assigned to more formidable
craft.
KEY WEST, May 13.-The United
States gunboat Hudson has arrived here
with the remains of Ensign W. Bagley
and four members of the crew of the
torpedoboat Winslow, who were killed
in the engagement in Cardenas harbor.
The dead are: Ensign Worth Bag
ley; John Varveres, oiler; Elijah B.
Tunnel, cabin cook; George B. Meek,
fireman, and John Denefe, fireman.

The engagement lasted for about an
hour.
The wounded: are Lieutenant J. B.

All are slightly wounded, except Pat
terson, whose condition is serious. En-
sign Worth Bagley was appointed from
North Carolina on Sept. T. 1891.
The fire of the Spaniards seemed di-
rected almost entirely at the Winslow.
A solid shot crashed into the hull of
the Winslow and knocked out her
boiler. In an instant she began to roll
and drift helplessly. 1t was moment
of awful suspense. A fierce cheer of
triumph went up from the Spaniards.
The gunboat Hudson started to the
assistance of the Winslow.
Ensign Bagley and six men were
standing in a group on the deck of the
Winslow. "Heave, heave, heave her.

RE HAWAIIAN Annexation
PRESIDENT MOROE'S WAY OF
DOING THINGS.
How Amelia Island, Nest of Bucca
neers, was Taken Possession of by
the United States.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean: il,
as foreshadowed, president Mckinley,
should take the matter of Hawaiian
annexation into his own hands, with
out awaiting action by Congress, lie
would only be following precedent
set by President Monroe eighty-ore
years ago.
About midway between Brunswick,
Ga, and jacksonville, Fla, lies Amelia
Island. 1t is separated from the main
land by a channel from two to tour
miles wide and is sixteen miles long
bv four miles wide. 1t came into
prominence early in the century as
rendezvous of pirates and other out
laws. \ part of Florida, it was under
the dominion of Spain, vet so near
the Georgia line as to be at once
menace and a disgrace to a part of
the United States. Spain either could
not or would not suppress the buccl-
neers and finally in the summer of
! 1917 President Monroe concluded 70
take possession of the Island and TO
cleanse it of its criminal population.
Nothing was said formally to the
| Spanish government regarding his in
| tentions. The President did not ev-
much as say "by your leave" There
was no doubt tacit understanding
| between the two governments. At
! least, Spain never made any complaint
and was glad, no doubt. to be rid IF
! the nuisance without trouble or eX-
pense. But after a while France saw
fit to make inquiry into the matter
| 1t was the response of the United
/ .,,.. E,1l Loo. -, 1,, r,,1,
Minister of Foreign Affairs which
gave significance to the Amelia af-
fair, lifting it from the level of a
mere incident to the dignity of a
grave precedent. Here is the PROPOSE
ton laid down by Gallatin, and ever
since recognized as good international
law:
"The possession taken by the Unit
ed States of Amelia Island, in Florida,
gave it a possessory title, for which
it was accountable only to Spain"
This is equivalent to saying that no
third party has any right to interfere
with or object to title by possession.
1t is altogether an affair between the
former owner and the present pos
SCISSOR. Spain and Spain only could
object.
According to this almost forgotten
Monroe doctrine, if the United States
should raise the flag over the port of
Honolulu and the Islands of Hawaii,
the republic of Hawaii alone would
have right to protest or interfere.
That is the doctrine held and upheld
by the Amelia incident. 1t is well
known that Hawaii wants to be an
neXed, and it is not particular how
annexation is brought about, provided
only it is effectual and permanent. 1t
follows that no complications could
arise from the United States acquir-
ing a 'possessory title" to that repub-
lie. If the Dole government did not
complain no government could.
