Interesting Commencement Exercises
of the Lucy webb Hayes School.
An admirable illustration of the value
Of the kindergarten SYSTEM in the educa-
ton of the young was given last night at
Hamline Church, where. the commencement
exercises of the Lucy Webb Hayes Nation
al Training School were held. The pro-
gram was a most interesting one, as it
gave a complete example of kindergarten
ing, from the science Of those adept in it's
methods to the results shown in the train
ing of little children.
In the advanced portion of the exercises
the members Of the graduating class took
part The young ladies', who received de-
grees for completing the course in the
normal school for kinder gardeners, were A
S. Bolway, H. r.. Quinter, Eva Slkillman,
Elizabeth Lee Wiley, Effie Bradfield Lilly
Fowler, Elizabeth Finch and Annie Grgg
of the District of Columbia, Miss Margaret
Thompson of Ohio, Miss H. Belle Price of
Maryland and Misses Matte Skinner and
Mary Betchel of Virginia.
The exercises illustrating the effective
ness of the system these proficient young
ladies are going to follow were participated
in by the kindergartens of Rosedale Bla-
densburg and Pierce alley, the latter being
composed of little colored boys and girls
from three to eight years old.
The exercises were opened and closed
with prayer by DR.. Strickland pastor of
Hamline, and the certificates to graduates

This is the eastern terminus of the Chesa-

freight is brought in immense quantities

d large expert trade. but its import bust
ness shows up very consnicuously and nets
quite q handsome sum each year to the
credit of the custom house. OF course,
there are not nearly so many goods i'm
to be expected. as nearly all the
companies located here devote their
attention only to shipments to foreign
ports. The Chesapeake and Ohio steam

Port for Shipping Coal.
Newport News is the largest coal ship
ping port in the United States. and con-
tracts have already been made for the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company to
dump 800 900 tons at its piers here during
the ensuing year. This coal is secured by
the railway company in the Karawha and
New River districts of West Virginia. and
is said to be the very best coal in the world
for steaming purposes.
Newport News is the mid-Atlantic cOaling
station of the vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron. and from these a very large
bunker coal patronage is received. A great
many tramp steamers stop here for coal
to last them one trip. The steam coal is
sent north principally, and south OCCASION
ally, in schOoners and barges for use on
railroads and for manufacturing purposes.

HOW THE MoNTsERRAT ESCAPED
Two Cruisers Which Were After Her
Ran Aground.


Ran Aground.
From Today's New York Herald.
One of the seamen on the United States
esting letter to his brother In this city,
and inadvertently it largely explains how it
became possible for the Montserrat to run
the blockade into Cienfuegos.
1t appears from the letter that the Mar
blehead the gunboat Nashville and The
converted yacht Eagle were ordered in
company from Key West on a mission I'M
known to the crew. On their first day out
the Marblehead and the Eagle both ran
on coral reef and stuck fast The Nash
vile doubtless tarried 10 help them off,
and all were q day more late arriving
in CIenfuegos, WHITTIER they were bound.
While the Marblehead and Eagle were
stl aiming aground the Montserrat slipped
in unknown to any Of them, as this pas
sage from the seaman's letter shows:
1T was too bad we ran on the reef, for If
we had reached Cienfucgos a day sooner
wo would have captured a Spanish trans
pert, with eight hundred troops aboard"
In the light of this it seems probable
| that this section of the fleet was assigned
to guard duty near the port of Cienfuegos.
and that Admiral Sampson did not learn
of their disability in time to close a gap
in the blockade there.
There seems to have been quite a warn
| little Scrimmage in the harbor of Cienfla-
| gos, according to the sailors account, be-
tween the trio, a Spanish gunboat and the
batteries on shore. He said:
We wound up in Cienfuegos on Thurs
| day night. Our captain, being the senior
officer. was in command. The next day at
| rotn we sighted q Spanish steamer coming
| into the harbor The captain signaled to
| the Nashville to head her off. He then
| stationed the Eagle near the entrance to
| the harbor and we started after her. We
| had not got far before Spanish gunboat
| came out and opened fire on the Eagle.
| The Eagle only carries four sx-pounders.
| but she stuck right there.
1--WE put about and came back and open
| ed fire on the Spaniard. but she turned tail
| and got into the harbor. The forts began
| at us then. The old man gave the order
| to fire one or two shots until he got the
range. We were then about 5000 yards
from the sand batteries. We closed in
and sent about dozen shells into them
| which made them quit in short order just
| for luck we sent few more right into the
| town. 1t was something out Of sight We
| waited there about an hour, waiting for
| them to fire again. II they had fired an
| other shot we would have put the city on
| the bum.
1.-The steamer we captured had about a
| dozen Spanish officers on board, one of
| them a general, also 800 rifles 500 cases OF
| ammunition and a lot of supplies for the
| army"
| This probably refers to the steamer Arro-
| nauta, and the supposed general was prob
| ably Col. Cortijo, General Weyler's brother.
