was towed up to Piedras Island, where she
was anchored, with her dead and wound

About Is or 20 shots struck the
Winslow. Several hulled her. One shot
knocked off the funnel, another the venti-
lator, and third shattered the coming
tower.

Then some men from the Hudson went

ASKING THE HUDsoN's AID.

The Hudson's people were in the thick
est of the fight, and did not weaken at
first, despite the execution by the Span
ish gunboats and batteries.
Suddenly, through the crashing of the
guns, voice reached the Hudson through
megaphone, from the Winslow, 100 feet
away:
awe are totally disabled"
The Hudson was not struck, although
right alongside the Winslow. The force
of one shell explosion knocked some of
her men down.

When the commanders of the Marble
head and the Nashville called for volun-
teers to man the boats and cut the cable
the men responded with jump.
Lieutenant McR. Winslom, of the Nash
vile, took command of the Nashville's
boats.
SEEKING THE CABLE.
The shore surrounding the entrance of
the harbor was first shelled and then the
boats proceeded in.
The work of finding the cable was slowly
and cautiously proceeded with. The cable
was deep in the channel and was found
with difficulty. One of the relays of the
cable had been cut when the Spanish
opened fire.
The marines in the boats replied at once
and machine gun from the forward
launch sent in stream of bullets, while
heavy shells from the warship drove the
Spaniards from tie rifle pits at the shore,
many of them seeking refuge in the light
house fort, which was afterwards torn to
pieces by shell from the Window. As
there were great numbers of Spaniards in
and behind the fort at the time, there is
no doubt that many of them we're killed.
With desperate courage, the American
sailors remained calmly at their posts and
succeeded in dragging up the second re-
lay of the cable and severing it. Seven
men badly wounded was the count, and
one of them, Reagan, died while on the
way back to the ship. Lieutenant Wins
low was shot in the hand and number of
others were more or less injured.
CAPT. MAYNARD WOUNDED.
On the Nashville Capt. Maynard was
standing forward, with an ensign, when
a Spanish bullet passed through the en-
signs shoulder and struck Maynard on..the
chest, near the heart, wounding him only
slightly,
The Marblehead was struck scores of
times by bullets from machine guns, and
the Nashville suffered to about the same
extent. The Window also had many
marks of the fray. Her shell, blowing up
the light house and scattering the Span
iards in all directions, ended the battle.
Boltz and Hendrckson, who with four
Others of thel wounded are at the Naval
Hospital here, are expected to die.
The remains of Reagan were buried.
The small boats proceeded cautiously
and for more than an hour worked un-
molested on the cable. Suddenly, just
as the work was about completed, the
shore battery fired shell at the boats.
1t was followed by others, and the Span
ish infantry opened fire with their rifles.
MARBLEIIEAD REPLIES.
Then, like flash, the Marblehead sent
a shell inland, and followed it with per-
feet shower Of shot.
The Nashville was quick to follow suit,
and the little Window cut loose with her
four-pounders.
In the meanwhile Spanish bullets fell in
every direction around the small boats.
Though the attack had come suddenly
and fiercely the bluejackets were not dis
and, protected by the terrific re-
turn fire of the warships, work was con-
tinued and the cable cut.
When the boats returned to the ships,

IN \ STORM OF FIRE.

a fierce cheer Of triumph went up from
the Spaniards on the gunboats and in the
batteries, and again storm Of fire was
opened upon the helpless boat.
Up to this time, with the exception of
the one shot which disabled the boiler of
the Winslow, the firing of the Spanish
gunboa;s had been wild but, as the Win
slow lay rolling in the water, the range
grew closer, and shells began to explode
all about her.

The three boats were cruising of Car
denas and gave chase to Spanish gun
boat that fled into the harbor. The gun
boat escaped their sight and the three
ships headed for Cardenas town. Sud-
denly from masked battery there came
screaming shell, fired at range of $500
yards. Our ships kept on, the Whining
ton and the Hudson beginning to answer
the enemy's fire. 4 few minutes after the
firing began the Winslow came up and al
so opened fire. In an instant the entire
attention of the Spanish gunboats and land
batteries was directed upon her. From all
sides shot and shell seemed TO pour in
upon the little torpedo boat.
HAD THE EXACT RANGE.
There we've four Spanish bunboats con-
ceaIed in Cardenas harbor, which were
not noticed They had mooredt two barges
outside in the roadway. The Cardenas
batteries had exact range of the barges, and
every time the American vessels got near
them the battery fire got dangerously near.
The Wilmington was not struck. All the
Spanish shots went over or passed her.
The fire from our boats set fire to the
town of Cardenas.
SHELL DIsABLEs THE wINsLow,
The Wilmington and the Hudson kept
up their fire, but they could not turn
aside the fire of the enemy from the tor
pedo boat. The crew of the Winslow did
not falter for a second. But, at 2;35 p.
m., solid shot crashed into the hull of
the Winslow and disabled one boiler. In
an instant she began to roll and drift help
lessly.
The Winslow replied bravely with her
little 1-pounder guns, but the Spanish
We're shooting with fearful accuracy, and
the Winslow, disabled, began to drift to-
ward the enemy's gunboats, which had
her range perfectly.

BRAVE BAGLEY FACES THE FIRE.

The Hudson then tried to get near
enough to the Winslow to throw line to
her. The enemy's fire was murderous.
Finally, after trying for about 30 minutes,
the Hudson approached near enough to
throw line.
Ensign Bagley and six men were stand
ing in group on the deck of the Winslow'
'Heave her Heave her" shouted Bagley,
as he looked toward the commander of the
Hudson and called for line.
''Don't miss it, shouted an officer from
the Hudson, and with smile Bagley
called back:
"Let her come! It's getting too hot
here for comfort"

sHELL's AWFUL wORK.

The line was thrown, and, at the same
instant shell burst in the middle of the
group of men on board the Winslow.
Bagev was instantly killed, and others
dropped about him, some dead and some
wounded. One of the dead men pitched
headlong over the side of the boat, but
his feet caught in the iron rail and he was
hauled back. Bagley's face was complete
ly torn away, and the upper part Of bis
body was shattered.
When the shell burst in the group on
board the Winslow another shout of
triumph went up from the Spanish boats
and batteries, and again heavy fire was
opened on the torpedo boat.
lMEND1NG BROKEN LINE UNDER FIRE.
The torpedo boat, disabled and helpless,
rolled and swayed, still under the fire
from the Spanish gunboats. Finally, the
Hudson succeeded in getting line on
board the Winslow. and was towing her
out of range, when the line parted, and
again both boats were at the mercy Of the
Spanish fire.
At3.5OP NJ. the Hudson managed to
oct another line on the deck of the Wins

stimulate renewed action striking a fresh
note and using methods less formal than
usual. He said it was to the spiritual
life what thunder and lightning was to
the physical.
Bishop Hall, of Vermont who has had
a wide experience, both in England and
the United States, in this branch of the
work of the church, urged the advan-
tages of evangelical work of this charac-
ter and outlined the manner in which the
missioner should proceed, the advance
preparation of the church for his coming
and the added work of the minister in
charge of the parish after the missioner
had left. The forms of the church should
be abandoned by the missioner for the
time being. he should go to the people,
preach to them in halls and vacant store
rooms, gradually instiling in them love
for the church He deprecated earnestly
all manner of sensationaism.

the place of the mission in parish life,

derived from conducting mission work in

HOUSE OF BISHOPS.
Many Questions of General I'M
pOrtance Considered

The afternoon session of the House of
Bishops was taken up principally in dis
cussing the constitutional amendments
that had received the approval of the
House of Deputies Articles 3 and of
the constitution were gone over thorough
lv, and as there were some objectionable
points involved it was decided to ask for
a conference committee on these two ar
ticles.
On the memorial submitted by the for
eign churches the following committee
was appointed: The Bishops of Albany,
Pittsburg. Delaware, Ohio and Rhode ISL
and.
Presentation was made to Rutgers Col
Iege and the University of Virginia of one
cony each of the edition of the Book of
PRAYER. known as Golden Numbers.
This is a special limited edition OF the
the book that was gotten out some years
ago at great expense. The books were
sold only by the consent of the conVen-
tion at SIS each.
The canon providing for a board OF
agents for church university work was
ordered repealed This board was insu-
tuted in 1889 with the idea of making
consolidation of church schools through
out the country. The work begun by TINS
board has been taken in hand by volun-
tary board for the same purpose, ana
need was no longer felt Tor Ine existence
of the canon a resolution of compliment
to the retiring board was unanimously
passed
The following resolution of congratuia-
ton and encouragement to the Swedish
Church in this country was passed.
Resolved, That we gratefully witness
the earnest missionary work of the
Swedish clergy of our church among
those speaking that language in TINS
land-more than a million in number-and
we commend their cause TO the prayerful
sympathy and generous aid of the people
in this country
An amendment was proposed to the
constitution striking out the clause which
prohibits any city from having two do
ceses This action is recommended on ac-
count of the consolidation of the cities
of New York and Brooklyn by the mu-
nicipal authorities, and will leave the ju-
risdiction of the church as formerly.
The matter of the missionary jurisdic-
tion of Asheville received consideration
and was again sent to the committee.
A special order was made for today at
II o'clock for the election OF missionary
bishops. after which the canon of mar
riage and divorce will receive attention.

TO do to prevent Its spread. Rules were
made regarding the drinking water and
the supply of milk. The latter was allow
ed to be sold only after inspection. The
men. however, did not always obey the
regulations.
AT Camp Meade. Gen. Graham explain
ed soldiers would drink water that had
been prohibited. On one occasion an Off
Ger saw a man filing his canteen from
stream which was known TO be pollut-
ed. Pure water was within easy walk
ing distance and the soldier was eau
toned but when the officer looked back
after passing on. he noticed that the man
was filing his canteen at the forbidden
stream.
Referring to the laying out of camps,
Gen. Graham said the army regulations
were defective as they advocated the
placing of sinks alongside the kitchens.
He believed that the kitchens might be
better situated between the officers and
mems tents and the sink on the outside
The tents would. therefore, be between
the sinks and Kitchens and flies would
not go readily from one to the other.

Throws the Blame of Bad Manage
ment on Others.
Surgeon General Sternberg has at last
thought 1t necessary to go into an expla-
nation of the lack of medical supplies at
Santiago In a letter to the Alger Relief
Commission he goes into details and tries
to prove that his Office was not RESPONSE
BILE for the neglect. Here is what he has
to say on the subject:
The temporary deficiency in medical supplies
at Santiago is fully accounted for by the fact that
some Of the supplies of the Fifth Army Corps
were left at Tampa and, owing 10 the rapidity
with which the troops were disembarked at ST.
honey and pushed TO the front, considerable
quantity Of the supplies taken left upon
the transports. This is shown by the letter of
Capt. Edward L. Aunson, assistant surgeon,
United States army, attached to Col. Alden's
port, and also by the following extracts from
the report OF Lieut.. Col Pope, chief surgeon,
Fifth Army Corps: Three days prior TO the or
der of embarkation, which was given on the night
Of June 8, directed Capt. c. NJ. Candy, assistant
surgeon. the acting medical supply officer at
Tampa. Fla. 10 set aside one-haf OF all the
medicines and surgical supplies remaining in the
storehouses to be taken as reserve upon the
headquarters ship, the Seguranca. under my own
charge. At the time the order was given supplies
were beginning TO be unloaded from the trains
by the quartermaster's department and issues
made 10 regimental surgeons, or both vol
unteer and regular organizations OF such articles
as were NEEDED. The reserve not large, and
was gotten out of the storehouse by myself and
two hospital corps at midnight Of the sth
and put upon the train which left for Port
Tampa at 2:3O o'clock m. Of the 9th. There
were two wagonloads taken that night, and Capt
Candy sent two the following morning
Among this lot of medicines there was, fortu-
| nately, large amount of quinine, two barrels in
all and other material and three sets of surgical
chests and sterilizer The medicines received on
the morning Of the 9th ultimately placed on
the steamer 0liyette, where they were much
needed.

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Bishop Randolph, of Virginia, and
Others Speak.

Persons interested in the work of the
Evangelical Educational Association, con-
nected with the Protestant Episcopal
Sixteenth and H Streets last night to
listen to addresses relative to the object
and work of the association.
Bishop Whitaker, of Pennsylvania, pre-
sided, and spoke about the work of the
association. Bishop Randolph. of Virgin
ia said. in part: The association opens
the doors to the worthy who desire to en-
ter the Christian ministry and closes them
to the unworthy. 1t elevates the tone of
religious thought in people and through
it the old distinction between that which
Is secular and that which is sacred is
passing away. and men and women are
brought closer together in religious
thought. From pulpits and by books con-
gregations are taught that they are do
ing Gods calling. Every man who stands
steadfasuy at his post of duty dignifies
his position and he is truly a minister of
God
The association is partly responsible
Tor raising up ministers to extol Christ s
Kingdom abroad. 1t also aims to enroll
the services of those of every calling.

his fellowman by advocating honest and

1t Is the duty of the association to i'm
press on the minds of the people the full
force of the dignity and power of those
who have adopted the ministry of Christ
as calling. If every parent would strive
TO impress upon their children what the
ministry of Christ means, we would have
so many that greater work cou:d be
done. What is wanted Is Christian mer

1t Is Believed He Left the Steamer
at Albany. y. ", in Disguise.
New York, Oct. lit is very much
doubted now if former Judge William P.
Douglass committed suicide on an Albany
boat Saturday night. When the boat ar
rived at Albany Sunday morning it was
said his stateroom was locked and TIE
window open. The opinion was general
that he had jumped into the river.
1t develops now that the stateroom door
was not locked Also that the judge was
seen TO come aboard with two wallis 5
neither of which can be found. His
clothes and personal effects are in the
stateroom. The Jersey City police think
that Douglass had a disguise in vatise
and left the boat at Albany.
1t is said he had drawn a large sum
OF money in Jersey City before leaving,
but nothing definite could be learned at
the bank. The Jersey police are working
on the supposition that Douglass is not
dead.
