LATER.

KEY WEST, May 1.-THE battle al
Cardenas wal a terrible conflict. The
American boats, Winslow and Hudson,
entered the harbor and began firing on
the Spanish gunboats at short range
about $500 yards. The Spanish boats
were assisted by shore batteries, and
shot and shell seemed to come from
every direction. The little torpedo
boat Winslow kept her guns going with
a splendid and regular enflade. A solid
shot crushed through her hull and
knocked out her boiler. In an instant
she began to rock and roll ~helplessly.
Then came a ferocious yell from the
Spanish and the rain of shot fell faster.
The gunboat Hudson ran alongside
the Winslow and succeeded in getting
close enough to throw a line, while En-
sign Bagley and q group of men stood
on deck ready to make her fast.
"Heave 'er." shouted Bagley with a
laugh, ats getting pretty hot here"
At that moment q shell struck the deck
amidst the group and Bagley and sew
erai Others were instantly killed. The
line parted, but after much trouble,
another was thrown. Though there
we're only three men left on board, the
the Winslow made fast and was finally
towed out of range, where the dead and
wounded were cared for.

We cannot help but feel that the
Young men who forwarded their names
from here to Gov. Sadler on Wednes-
day OF last week al volunteers in Ne
vada's cavalry troop, have been shah
billy treated. The Governor might at
least have acknowledged receipt OF the
names, and informed the boys what
further steps were necessary for them
to take in order to enlist. We recog-
nize the fact that the number of apph-
cants has been in excess OF the number
allowed in the troop, and that it was
desirable to draw al many of the men
possible from the militia, who are IA
miliar with military drill, yet when 1t
became evident that not enough Of the
militiamen were going to volunteer to
fill the quota, each county should have
been given an equal show to have made
up the balance. Instead, 1t was only
by q scratch that we heard q call had
been made at Eureka, and the boys who
volunteered have been entirely ignored.
Eureka sent two names, White Pine
sent ten.-Surely we are not lacking in
patriotism.

Mr.. John Peterson, of Patoutville,
La, was very agreeably surprised not
long ago. For eighteen months he had
been troubled with dysentery and had
tried three of the best doctors in New
Orleans, besides half a dozen or more
patent medicines, but received very
little relief. Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, hav-
ing been recommended to him, he gave
it a trial and to his great surprise, three
doses of that remedy effected a perma-
nent cure. Mr.. VIM. McNamara, a
well known merchant of the same place,
is well acquainted with Mr.. Peterson
and attests to the truth of this state
ment. This remedy is for sale by F. NJ.

THE POLL TAX CASE.

The ease brought by the Carson APP
peal to test the validity OF the poll tax
law, compelling citizens to pay a poll
tax prior to registration, entitled John
Wilson VS.. w. H. Stone, the Register,
came before the Supreme Court Tues
day, the plaintiff asking for a writ OF
mandate. The four points raised by
counsel for plaintiff were as follows:
That the law Is imperative as 1t i'm
poses on the Registry agent duties that
are impossible to perform, as he cannot
give a poll tax receipt for a previous
year.
1t Is unconstitutional from the fact
that the Justice of the Peace is a Judi
cial officer and tho law imposes execu.
tive duties and makes him a collector
OF revenue
That 1t is also unconstitutional from
the fact, that while the constitution
gives the legislature the power to make
the payment of an annual poll tax a
prerequisite for voting, it does not give
it the right to make two annual pay
ments at one time such prerequisite.
The constitution says that the legis-
lature IA make tho right to vote de-
pendent on the payment OF the poll tax,
but this bill makes the right to register
dependent upon such payment.
Lastly the title of the bill is At var
lance with the subject matter. 1t Is
entitled IAN act relating to the col
lection Of poll taxes and no mention Of
registration Is made in the title.
Mr.. WOODBURY. spoke for over an
hour and produced numerous author
tiles in support Of invalidity of the act.
The case was then submitted Appeal.

John Sparks, the cattle king Of Idaho

Sparks considers the price now paid
for cattle as abnormally high. He says
there has been a gradual diminution Of
the herds OF the West for a number OF
years, and the present demand is enor-
nous. The low price of a few years
ago, he says, was responsible for a par
tial cessation Ia cattle breeding on the
Western ranges. Land has become so
valuable in the MiddleStates that breed
ing there has been abandoned. The
enormous corn crops of the past two
yearsin Kansas and Nebraska has great
