The fire Wednesday evening at the
glass house demonstrates the fact more
strongly that this city needs a fire alarm
system, and very badly at that. The
alarm given at this last fire was any
thing but satisfactory and hardly any
person knew where the fire was for at
least fifteen minutes after it was rung
in The matter should be remedied,
and since the new telephone company
offer the use of their poles the city
should have wires strung and the proper
number of boxes placed around the
city. The town clock bell can be used
and once the system is in working or
der our people will know nearly where
the fires are located. Fortunately the
blaze at the glass house was extinguish-
ed before much damage was done, but
had the factory been burned down it
would have been a sad blow to
Moundsville. Council should take ac
ton in the above matter at once, and it
may be the means Of considerable prop
erty being saved in time to come

The line was thrown, and at the
same instant a shell burst in the very
midst of the group of men on board
the Winslow.
Bagley was instantly killed and
few others dropped about him. Half
a dozen more fell groaning on the
blood-stained deck. One of the dead
men pitched headlong over the side of
the boat, but his feet caught on the
iron rail and he was hauled back.
Bagley lay stretched on the deck,
with his face completely torn away
and the upper part of his body shat
tered
1t was terrible moment.
The torpedo boat, disabled and help
less, rolled and swayed under the fury
of the fire from the Spanish gunboats
When the shell burst in the group on
board the Winslow, another wild shout
of triumph went up from the Spanish
boats and batteries, and again a heavy
fire was opened on the torpedo boat
Finally the Hudson succeeded in get
ting line on board the Winslow and
vas towing her out of the deadly
range, when the line parted and again
both boats were at the mercy of the
Spanish fire.
At $50 p. m. the Hudson managed
to get another line on
THE DECK CT THE WINSLOW,
but there were only three men left at
that time to make it fast. The line
was finally secured and the Winslow
was towed up to Pedras Island where
she was anchored, with her dead and
wounded on her deck There some
men from the Hudson went on board
the Winslow and took the most seri-
ously wounded men Off Three who
were taken on board the gunboat
Machias died shortly afterward
At 9:15 p. m. yesterday the Hudson,
with the dead bodies and some of the
wounded, started for Key West, arriv-
ing here at o'clock this morning.
Commander Bernadou, of the Wins
low, was wounded in the left leg but
not seriously Lying in the cabin of
the Hudson this morning, he received
a representative of the Associated
Press and told the latter the story Of
the fight. He said:
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-05-13

I'VE went into the harbor under
orders. The torpedo boat Winslow
was the worst injured. She had five
of her men killed and | do not know
how many injured
"The Winslow was ordered by the
commander of the Wilmington to go
into the harbor of Cardenas and attack
the Spanish gunboats there. We
steamed in under full head and were
fired upon as soon as we were in range.
The Spanish boats were tied up at
the docks and had fair range on us.
The batteries on shore also opened on
us and | think we received most of the
fire. l do not know whether any one
was hurt on the Wilmington or the
Hudson, but | think not
Il have no fault to find with the
Wins1CW's crew. They acted nobly ali
the way through. The men who were
killed
FELL AT THE SAME TIME.
We were standing in group, and the
aim of the Spanish was perfect. A
shell burst in our very faces
The dead and wounded brought here
by the Hudson were taken in small
boats to the government dock. This
was the first news of the engagement
to reach Key West
No time was lost in ministering to the
wounded. quick call was sent to the
Marine Hospital and an ambulance came
Gathering down to the dock The dead
were taken to an undertaken shop and the
wounded conveyed to the hospital.
In the meantime, the news had spread
and crowds gathered about the dock, but
there was no demonstration. The success
of the American ships in every action
thus far has been so overwhelming that
it is hard to realize that death mas at last
come to some of our men.
Ensign Bagley was about 70 years old
and while the fleet was stationed here he
was
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
men in the service. The news of his
death came as a terrible shock to all who
knew him.
1t has always been foregone conclus-
ion that the torpedo boat men would be
among the first to fall, as their work Is
most dangerous, but in spite of this, when
the fleet was stationed here and changes
in assignments were frequently made. all
the Young men of the service were eager
for torpedo boat duty.
The Hudson shows the effect of the
fight Her smoke stack is punctured with
bullet holes and her cabin and decks are
smashed and splintered.
