From the New York Journal.
 ' The publication of the chart prepared by the board appointed, by Rear Admiral Sampson to locate the American ships dur ing the destruction of Cervera's fleet proves that Schley is entitled to the credit so grudgingly given him in the official reports.
 The Brooklyn was not absent from the station assigned her, as has been charged. She took a short course eastward to pre- vent being rammed by the Teresa. but im- mediately engaged the enemy, and was in the thickest of the fight, as the marks of the Spanish shells testify.
 -~ No matter what the red tape figureheads of the navy department may do to discredit Schley, the public has crowned that brave officer with the laurel of its approval. He won an unexampled victory in the absence of Rear Admiral Sampson, whose misfor- tune in being nine miles away when the battle began can only be regarded as per- sonai to himself, for Schley met all the re- quirements of the situation.

Ran and Caught the Car.

A short man with fat, red face ran
out of the Erie railroad depot at the
foot of West Twenty third street the
other forenoon and chased crosstown
car which was midway between Elev-
enth avenue and the ferry. He was q
fast runner and held his hat in his left
hand as he gained on the car. The pas
sengers on the rear platform, in spirit
of mirth, encouraged him:
Don't give up. You'll make it..
Make squirt, old boy. This is your
last chance to get car before two min
utes, one of them said.
AT Eleventh avenue he caught up,
and, perspiring profusely, sprang upon
the rear platform. He appeared happy,
and when he handed his fare to the con-
ductor he said "These Blocker street
cars that ran down Ninth avenue do
not go often, SO l ran to catch this one. -
The conductor rang up the fare, and in
matter of fact way answered:
This car goes to Thirty fourth street
ferry. Get out and wait for Blocker
street car.
The sprinter got off as some of the
passengers cried out:
You can run anyway. 1t is better
to run and lose a car than never to per.
spire at all. New York Commercial.

SLAVES IN FLORIDA.

Seminole Indians Said to BE Still Hold
ing Negroes In Bondage.
Slavery has not yet been eradicated
from American SOIL
The Seminole Indians of Florida have
their slaves, and those slaves are colored
men who have never known the neal
ing of the word freedom. F"
Down in Dade county, around the
edge of the Everglades, are to be found
between 600 and 700 descendants of the
fierce Indian warriors who once defied
the power of the United States and who
centuries before, in the days when st.
Augustine was a collection OF huts,
waged implacable war against the
Spaniards. Their aversion to labor is
Just as great today as it ever was. Be-
fore the late war they had their negro
slaves and today they have slaves.
The exact number of negroes enslaved
by the Seminoles is not known, but that
American citizens in the eyes of the law
are in servitude among the Indians is
not only well understood, but simply a
matter of indifference to most of the
white people of the Indian river dis
trict. They dismiss the subject with the
utmost nonchalance.
"Wbat is it to us if a few niggers are
still held as slaves?" is in effect their
position.
The indifference with which the mat
ter is regarded is shown by the follow
ing incident related, by arman, why for
siharly lived an Ae district near the In
dams
One day Seminole came into the
market town leading negro as if the
colored man was dog. The Indian ex-
hibited his slave to group of men who
had gathered in idle curiosity around
him. After telling of the colored man S
good points the Seminole master offered
him for sale.
"Oh, but you can t sell that fellow
All slaves were set free long ago." said
a gentleman standing near.
Quickly the Indian flashed look of
scorn upon the speaker and replied:
white mans niggers may be free.
Indians niggers not free" And he led
his docile slave back to his farm and set
him at work. New York World.

TEXAS SNAKE STORY.
A RATHER and a Mexican Ahoat on
Plank For Hours,

Plank For Hours
81 have heard of many men beinl
placed in odd predicaments, I" remarked
Captain Jenkins, "but one OF the mos
peculiar situations that ever befell al
individual was assuredly that of an ig'
norant Mexican good many years age
near Indianola, Tex, at the time the
town was SO nearly destroyed by a trop'
ical hurricane or cyclone. l have heard
the story many times, although 1t hap.
pened so long ago. 1t was during the
extreme height of the cyclone. Houses
| in Indianola were going TO pieces like
SO much paper, boats were being wreck
ed. and it looked decidedly bad for the
individuals who were located in OK
posed portions of the coast. 1t was
about this time that little Mexican
settlement on one of the coast islands
adjacent to Indianola began to go to
pieces, the water having risen over the
top of the sand dunes and the waves
smashing the loosely constructed build
ings of the settlement into kindling
wood. Jose Baretti, one of the inhabit-
from the remainder of his family, and,
clinging to long plank, was driven in
to the inner bay over the ruins Of the
settlement.
"When the day broke, he was out of
sight of land. The waves had Gained
down and the storm was gone AS he
cast his eye about in the early dawn, TO
his horror he found the other end of
the plank occupied by an immense rat
tlesnake. AS soon as the snake observed
the Mexican he began to writhe and
coil in an odd sort of manner, and APP
parently to make attempts to reach the
poor fellow, whose hair was then stand
ing on end in manner wonderful to
behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican.
The unfortunate fellow was afraid to
leave the plank, knowing that he would
drown, and at the same time he was in
horrible fear of meeting death in more
terrific manner from snake bite. He lay
ON the end of the plank with his eyes
fixed on the RATHER. In fact, they both
eyed each other, and this they kept up
until midday, when fishing smack
came sailing along on the lookout for
castaways.
1.-THE Mexican was seen from the
boat, and in q short time was hauled
on board more dead than alive. He
pointed weakly at his kissing oompan-
ion. The sailors on the smack killed the
rattlesnake and found that he had jam
med his tail through a small knothole
in the plank. The immersion of the
buttons of the rattle in the salt water
had caused them to- swell, and,he was
unable to remove his tail FROM the hole.
To this fortunate circumstance the Mex
lean owed his life. The fact that the
coast islands contain many rattlers ac-
counts for the presence of the snake on
the plank. by the Bye in New Or

CAMP CUBA LIBRE, JACKSON
VILE. FLA, June H.-The members Of
the two Virginia Regimentswho took part
in the cotillon at the armory last night
did not feel much like answering roll
call at reville this morning, but military
rules do not know any such excuse.
The company drills that followed COM
petely banished all the laziness out OF
the men. The drill was not very long
ono inasmuch as the companies had been
ordered TO be prepared 10 receive their
pay by 10 o'clock.
Commissioned officers are entitled 70
pay from the day when their commands
were mustered in, while the n0n-com-
missioned officers and priyates are paid
from the day or their volunteering.
The officers OF the Blues will be paid
for the time beginning the 10Th or 24th.
while the pay OF the others begins with
May 18th.
Privates will receive 1915 and corporais
$3.50 up To June first.
Another rumor has just been circulated
to the effect that one OF the Virginia
Regiments. likely tho Fourth, would be
detached from the Brigade 10 serve as a
body guard TO General Lee. Whether
there Is any truth In II. however, remains
to be seen.
