FELT HIS FATE WAS NEAR.


Prcmopitiens of Danger uauntcd Ensign
Basisy After His comrades Accidents.
The death Of Ensign Bagley recalls .
story written after Az interview with
him ON April 20, which was Suppress
ed by the censor. who feared that ID
might cause Bagley's friends alarm.
From the New York Herald's dis
patch boat Albert r. Dewey had board
ed the Winslow to take papers and news
bulletins to Lieutenant Bernadou. After
talking for some minutes with him I
turned to the late Ensign Bagley with
some remark about the troubles which
had befallen his fellow executive Off
GERS of the torpedo feet. His rejoindcr
was:
eyes, I hear that Boyd (of the torpe-
do boat Cushing) is in trouble through
no fault OF his own. That puts it right
up to me. I'm sorry about Boyd, for I
am sure that the accident to the Cush-
ing was not due to his carelessness.
Now, suppose you win say that ara
superstitious. but ] must admit that the
fatalities which have pursued US have
given mo some momenSs OF somber
thought There was poor Breckinridge,
my classmste, executive officer of the
Cushing. who was swept overheard be-
tween Key West and Havana and
drowned. Then Bostwick, executive
officer of the Ericsson, who was knock
ed overheard in collision with a
schooner, had his chest caved in and
was all but drowned. He is now slowly
recovering. Baldwin, executive officer
of the Cushing, successor Of Breckin-
ridge and predecessor Of Boyd, took his
turn next. He was knocked down an
open hatchway and had his ribs broken.
He will not be out Of the hospital until
the war Is over. There they are, the
four 'B's'-Breckinridge, Bostwick.
Baldwin and Boyd. am the fifth and
last-Bagley. have never been super,
stitious, hut for week have had mys-
terious intuitions that am not to es-
cape. will make the list complete-of
that / am certain. only hope that my
trouble will not be serious enough to
take me out Of the fight"
Bagleys closing remarks We're made
in a laughing manner, as though he
would not have me take them seriously.
Yet it was easily seen that the Fremont
ton of serious trouble had taken q
strong hold upon him. At any rate the
fate of the "B's" is complete, and the
torpedo boats are now expected by the
"Jackies." who are always supersti-
tious to have better luck in the future.

The naming of babies for the victori-
GUS admiral Of the Asiatic squadron has
already begun. Representative Adolph
Meyer of New Orleans had telegram
recently from one of his admiring con-
stituents announcing the birth of son.
He would have named the youngster
solely in honor of the Louisiana repre-
sentative, but in view of the great tri-
umph at Manila he deemed il advisa-
BILE to honor Admiral Dewey also.
Therefore the son will bear the name

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Admiral Dewey's Loyalty TO HIS Men ~
Illustrated In an Incident.

Admiral Dewey's Loyalty TO HIS Men Ne
Illustrated In an Incident.
A story illustrating Acting Admiral
Dewey's loyalty to his men and his rev.
erencc for the flag is told by Richard
E. Walsh Of Harvey. who was baud
master of the United States gunboat
Pensacola when il was the flagship of the
European squadron in 1897, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. The hero of Ma
nilla was then captain of the Pensacola.
While the boat was at Manila a
number OF sailors went OF shore and en-
gagged III street brawl An alarm was
turned in, but the nayios succeeded ill
escaping to their ships. The next morn
ing the captain of the port came out 70
the Pensacola 10 complain To Captain
Dewey Of the action of his snilors.
"What can i do?' asked Dewey.
Why, your men raised riot on
shore, and you can assist me in arrest
ing and Furnishing them, was tho reply.
The American captain was very oour-
teous in the expression of regret that
sailors of the Pensacola should be law
less while ON shore leave, but could see
no way in which he might assist his
visitor in searching out the guilty ones.
The reply of the naval officer angercd
the redcoat. who said somewhat pcremp-
torily. "You can certainly parade your
crew before me In order that tho riotors
may be identified.
Looking aloft and pointing TO the stars
and stripes waving at tbe masthead,
Dewey made reply. 1.-THE deck Of this
vessel is United States territory, and 1 II
parade my men for no foreigner that
ever drew breath. I"
Captain Schley is described as feet c
inches in height, with blue eyes and q
mustache and imperial, both gray. His
hair is growing very thin ON top, but
he artfully brushes it SO as to hide the
bald spot. He weighs about ITO pounds,
is restless In manner, walking up and
down and all around the person to whom
he is talking, is modest in dress and
democratic in all things, says the Syra-
ouse Standard. In the civil war Schley
had command of gunboat under Ad
miral Farragut, and they tell this story
to illustrate how he fights,
Farragut summoned him one morn
ing, and pointing to a Confederate fort
said:
'Do you see that place, Schley? Go
knock it to pieces"
Schley went and was hammering the
fort to bits when his quartermaste,
rushed up to him and said:
Captain, the admiral has signaled us
to stop and return to the fleet
"To --- with the signal ] won't
see it, answered Schley.
He kept pounding away at the fort
until it was in ruins. Then he returned
to the fleet. Farragut was angry ant
summoned him. Before all the officer
of the flagship he gave Schley fierc,
dressing down for not obeying the recall
signal.
II didn't see it, 1" protested Schley.
"You must have shut the eye thai
You put the glass up to, "said Farragut
After again raking him fore and af
for his disobedience the admiral tool
him into the cabin out of sight of thu
other officers and gave him drink Of
the finest liquor aboard

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal of the 18th inst. is a brief
editorial referring to Mr.. Linville Ferguson,
of Milton, Wayne county. as a descendant
of England's great Lord Protector, Oliver
Cromwell. The descendants of Cromwell
are numerous. In England there are none
in the male lire OF any prominence or dis
tinction, but through the female line his
progeny are found in the persons Of Lords
Ripon, Chichester, Clarendon. Cowper Nor
ley, Walsingham, Lytton and Ampthif1 and
many others. And Ii Is a fact not generally
known that the Cromwells of Clay county
ere also lineal descendants in the male line
of the same distinguished ancestor Oliver
Cromwell who died in Bowling Green, Ind,
in 1856 was a at-grcat-grandson. At his
death he was more than four score years
old. He was of sturdy build, and. with his
white hair falling about his cars, his gem
erai personal appearance must have been
much like his renowned ancestral name
sake. He had four SONS. namely, Thomas
