relative of Consul-General Lee, but he
has been successfully q sailor on the
virginius and one Of the crew OF the
cruiser Baltimore when seven Of her
men were killed by the Chileans In
the streets of Valparaiso.
Whether Lees story is true or not.
his tale is most interesting, and so well
told that a cross-examiner would DO
required to pick single flaw in the
narrative. Police Sergeant Black
found the man wandering about In the
vicinity of 21st and Moore streets. and
seeing that he was nearly overcome by
fatigue, he steered him into the station
and handed him over to the care Of
Turnkey Young. The latter found that
the man was hungry and purchased
some pretzels for him. Under their
revivifying influence he told his story.
First he said that the Lees of Virginia
had never recognized his claim to be
a member Of their family. and accord
ingly he had been forced to seek his
livelihood In parts unknown.
Chance, the great factor in human at
fairs. led him to Join the Virginius.
and he enlisted on that ili-fated YES
sci under Capt. Fry. who. with several
of his men, were doomed never to ne
turn. On the events which occurred
in Cuba after the capture Of the Viz
ginius by the Spaniards Lee had much
to say. He described the execution Of
the unfortunate captain. and said that
he himself had been selected to die In
the next bunch. Then the fortunate
arrival of the British ship Niobe saved
him and his companions. The suhse-
quent career Of Lee has not been void
Of incident. He enlisted In the navy
shortly after the Virginius affair, and
was serving as a quartermaster when
the stirring events occurred in the
Chilean harbor. Lee commented bit
terly on the policy Of this government
in not declaring war then and there
on Chile. He admits that he was dis
charged from the navy for drunkenness
but says that he would willingly serve
again without pay to strike a blow
Of revenge against the hated Spaniards.
Lees story impressed the police. and
they gave him enough money for his
| present needs. He is endeavoring to
reach Holyoke. Mass, where he has
friends, who. he says, will take care
Of him. His last employment was In
st. Louis. where he fired a retort In
the city gas works. The man is about
81 years old, but is erect and vigorous.
His hair is perfectly white.

On Thursday morn:hg, May Il, the
Eunboat Wilmington steamed close In
to the coas. and keys of the town OF
Cardenas, Cuba Its gun crews were at
their stations and every man on board,
from Captain Todd to the signal boy,
had but one burning idea, "Avenge the
Winslow."
The watchword along the crowded
decks and in the heated engine room.
where the blackened giants tolled
stripped to the waist, was Remember
the Winslow," and Damn a pacinc
blockade"
Within range Of the powerful four
inch broadsides were the Spanish gun
boats which had decoyed the Winslow
up to the masked batteries and had
dealt out sudden death, and near the
forts lay two schooners at anchor.
Reports of mines planted in the en-
trance to the channels were disregard
ed. The Wilmington was no longer a
blockader. It had become destroyer,
and for an hour a hurricane OF explod-
ing projectiles beloved and shrieked
into the harbor Of Cardenas. not
against the town, but against the ships
and defenses, and the Spanish troops
and sailors. The gunners Of the Will
mington do not waste ammunition, and
the execution was remarkable.
Nearly 300 four-inch, one-inch. and
six-pound shells screamed shorewaTd
like a steel cataract, and afoat and
ashore signal stations, masked batter
les, and forts were knocked to pieces
and the Spanish had to flee like rats
from a sinking ship. They left behind
many dead and dying.
It was the most destructive lombard
ment vet attempted on the Cuban
coast. In the harbor two Spanish gun
boats without steam up were riddled
and sunk, their crews having fled to
the shore in small boats. They had no
time to offer show Of fighting their
guns. The two schooners at anchor
were sunk where they lay, and one
block house caught fire from an explod-
ing shell and famed out like a war
beacon. The Wilmington was not
touched by the few shells flung at it.
The attack was sudden and superbly
effective. The Wilmington in an hour
swept Cardenas bare of defenses as one
would brush crumbs from a table
cloth.
The town Of Cardenas is three miles
back from the gulf entrance to the har-
Dor, so that non-comDatants probably
suffered but slightly. OF course, it is
impossible to know the Spanish losses,
because no landing was made, but for
the last two weeks troops have been
massing in front of Cardenas in antici-
patton Of a possible choice of this
point for an invasion as the base of
supplies by the American forces. Hun
dreds Of men were working on earth
works and block houses overlooking
the harbor, and masked batteries
were being planted, one Of which sur
prised and made sad havoc on the tor
pedo boat Winslow. This death trap
was located by the Wilmington and
men and guns were blown high into
the air.
It was terrific punishment at close
range, this fierce onslaught of the Will
mington, and it was the first real dem
onstration against the Cardenas Span
ish, who had become Indifferent to
American warships that were always
lowering outside, while only smaller
torpedo boats had opened fire and dash
ed menacingly shoreward. It was an
other matter, however, when the VIII
