Chase of a Convict.

A desperate convict on the plantation
of W. l.. Pearman near Cleveland last
week knocked down the guard. snatch
ed his rifle and shot him. The convicts
all ran, but were overhauled and
brought back with the exception of the
would-be murderer, who got away with
the gun and took refuge under a cabin
on the plantation.
A negro guard entered the cabin to
capture the convict, and, finding the
cabin empty, looked through a crack in
the floor. While engaged in this inves-
tigation he received ball from the
rifle in the hands of the desperate con-
Wet. The ball entered his mouth and
lodged in the left side of his neck.
About twenty or twenty-five men
then armed themselves and went after
the convict. They approached the
house from all sides. Two negroes
were in advance, and one of them, on
ascertaining the convict was under the
cabin, dropped to his knees and opened
fire The convict was hit in the mouth
and another ball entered his body at or
near the small of the back and ranged
upward.

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
Sure to BE Found. Says MIR. GozzIeton,
IL One Only Takes the
Right Road.

"The longer l live the more firmly | am
convinced" said Mr.. Gozzleton, that man
who wants fortune has got to do some.
thing besides wish for it. Fortunes, large
and small, are shy, very shy. In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask.
ing, however polite and graceful and ear.
nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one Of
'em that came along and ask EN- all in, but
never one of em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short Of actual
collaring would bring EN- in. The fact is
that if we want a fortune we've got to work
for it.
Men have made fortunes, to be sure, with.
out working. Oil may spout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore in his land,
and SO on. But such cases are so few In
number that they don't count; the chances
of our getting rich in that way are really
not worth considering. If we would be rich
we must work for it. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.
''The man who idles away his time, or fails
to make the best possible use of it, stays
poor; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at it is bound to get
ahead. N. Y. Sun.

Appeals are made for an American
national song, but in many respects we
are fortunate in not possessing one.
Our population is such that it would
be difficult to rally all parts of the coun-
try under common song. The Star
Spangled Banner" is too hard for any
amateur vocalist to attempt, Yankee
Doodle" belongs to the drum corps.
The best way is to permit each regiment
TO fight TO its own music, then all Sec
tions will be satisfied, and the conglom-
Grafton of sounds will help to rattle the
enemy. The music of our solid shot is
good enough.

SPANS FLEET CRUSHED
Defeat of the Enemy After What Was
Evidently Terrific Engagement.
Spanish Reports Unable to Conceal the Real Disaster.
Reason to Believe the American Fleet Sustained
No Damage of COnsequence-Spanish
Warslps Completely Destroyed.

, Spanish warships Mindano and Ulloa
were slightly damaged. During. this
engagement the Cavite forts maintain
ed steadier and stronger fire upon
American squadron than in the first
engagement.
Admiral Bermejo, the minister of
marine, has expressed himself as
highly pleased with the heroism of the
| Spanish marines, and has telegraphed
congratulations to Admiral Montejo
and the valorous crews of the Spanish
squadron under fire of superior war
ships.
spm.-Tbe following is the text OF
the official dispatch from the governor
general of the Philippines to the min
lister of war, Lieut.. Gen. Correa, as to
the engagement off Manila:
Last night, April 80, the batteries at
the entrance to the port announced the
arrival of the enemy squadron, forcing
passage under the obscurity of the
night. At daybreak the enemy took up
positions, opening with strong fire
against Fort Cavite and the arsenal.
Our feet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat, protected by the
Cavite and Manila forces. They
forced the enemy, with heavy loss, to
maneuver repeatedly. At o o'clock the
American squadron took refuge behind
the foreign merchant ships on the east
side of the bay.
Our fleet, considering the enemy S
superiority, naturally suffered a severe
loss. sThe Maria Christiana is on fire and
another ship, believed to be the Don
Juan de Austria, was blown up.
There was considerable loss of life.
Capt. Cadarzo commanding the Maria
Christiana, is among the killed. / can
not now give further details. The
spirit of the army, navy and volunteers
is excellent"
pm.-The news from the Philip
pines has produced greatly increased
enthusiasm especially in view of the
fact that the American squadron was
obliged to retreat.
Notwithstanding the severe damage
the Spanish ships sustained, naval Off
GERS here consider that further opera
tions by the American squadron will
be conducted under great difficulty,
owing to their having no case where
they could repair and recoal or obtain
fresh supplies of ammunition.
Another account says the Mindano
and Ullao Tor Ulloa) were severely
damaged in the second engagement.
