One could find interest in this old GENE
terry for days. The graves and tombs are
fruitful themes for local traditions. In
those damp underground places, stretch
ing like network the entire length from
east to west, lie the bones of Portland's
original 400. None of the present genera
ton can be buried there now, but almost
daily some elderly person is laid to sleep
with his or her ancestors. The sexton
must then remove turf, dig through two or
three feet of soil, remove heavy planks or
stones, and find his way down moldy
flight of stairs into the vast tomb. Per-
haps then it will be necessary to shovel in
to one large box, bones and dust to make
room for another casket, as in these old
tombS no compartments were made, but
the collins simply piled one on top of
another. Prior to 1900 they were made
almost entirely of mahogany and these
are still in an excellent state of preserva-
ton, but those of more perishable woods
are all gone. The sexton is shrewd,
intelligent man, well posted in local his
tory, and some of the grewsome tales of
the sights he has seen in his underground
migrations, would reconcile the most
skeptical to the incineration method
The majority of the we'll finished black
slate stones were bought and lettered in
England before being brought to this
country. Nearly all the people of note
in the ancient towns are buried in this
cemetery. The old cemetery on the
western promenade contains no celebrities
excepting Chief Justice Mellen and the
father of Longfellow. Portland abounds
in interesting history, and the local papers
often contain very interesting sketches of
famous colonial and revolutionary heroes
The Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution are numerous and prosperous
here, and they have fruitful ground for
research.

Mark Twain as Stump Speaker.

Once in while Mark has taken hand
in politics. On ore occasion, being invited
to speak in the interest Of his fellow
townsman, General Joseph Hawley, who,
was candidatefor re- election to the United
States Senate, he said, in the course of
droll address: General Hawley deserves
your support, although he has about as
much influence in purifying the Senate as
bunch of flowers would have in sweeten-
ing glue factory. But he's all right; he
never would turn any poor beggar away
from his door empty handed. He always

Lieua. DernadOu's Brief Account Of
the Fight at CaPdenas-
KEY WEST May f2.--Amerlca's first
dead fell yesterday in a fierce and bloody
combat OF Cardeuas on he north coast
OF Cuba. Five men were blown to pieces
and five were wounded On the torpedo
boat Winsiow.
The battle lasted thirty-five minutes.
and was between the torpedo boat Wins
low. the auxiliary tug Hudson and the
gunboat Wilmington on one side and the
Cardenas batteries and four Spanish gun
boats on the ether. The Wins.ow was the
main target OF the enemy, and was put
out of service The other American ves-
sells were not damaged except that the
Hudson's two ventifators were slightly
scratched by flying shot.
The encmy's loss Is largely conjecturai.
One OF their gunboats caught fire and the
men Of the Hudson think II sank. The
fire spread to the barracks and swept
away several small warehouses. and for
a time the whole water front seemed TO
be ablaze. The Hudson's crew also be-
neve that two Spanish torpedo boat de-
s,royers were disabled. but they admit
that their estimate Of the damage done is
largely guess work. as the action was too
sharp for outside observations 10 be made,
The Winslow was within 1850 yards of
shore when the shells struck. How she
came TO be 50 close was told By her COM
mander. Lieut.. John Bernadon- He said:
we were making observations when the
enemy opened fire on Us. The Wilmington
ordered us to go In and attack the gun
boats. We went In under full steam. and
there liz the result"
He was on the Hudson when ne said
this. and with the final words he pointed
to a huddle OF American flags on the
deck near by. Under the Stars and
Stripes were outlined five rigid forms.
