REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

F HERE IS an adage about sowing the wind and
 | reapng the whirlwind. President Valentine of
 the Wells Fargo Express will appreciate 1t, be- cause he not only has leaning toward quotation,
 tut the whirlwind harvest is his to reap.
 The inexcusabe dishonesty of the express coni- pares in refusing to pay their share of the war tax has been vigorously denounced by everybody not in the business of carrying goods. That there was any merit in the contention of the companies was not be- lieved even by themselves. They merely thought to beat back the inevitable verdict until such time as the tax had become thing of the past The courts have been slow, but justice is moving.
 There will be introduced in Congress more than one bill for the establishment of parcels post The plan IS feasible. It has been tried elsewhere with success So strong is the demand for it that in all probability it will be indorsed and put into opera ton. Then the petty exactions of the express com panies will be of no consequence A parcels post would be popular, and there is no doubt would in time be of profit to the department In any event it would relieve the people from domination by series of monopoes and teach the corporations les son in manners and in business ethics They have uniformly charged all the traffic would bear. When they added the price of the stamp, for which they should have paid themselves, they added trle more than the traffic would bear, and to be deprived of the traffic would serve them rightly.

KEY WEST, May 12:-There was a
brisk engagement off Cardenas YES
terday afternoon. The U. S. cruiser
Wilmington, the torpedo boat Wins
low, and the auxiliary gunboat Hud-
son were engaged. The Hudson has
just arrived here with the bodies of
Ensign Bagley and four Others of the
crew of the Winslow. Several others
were wounded.
KEY WEST, May 12:-The battle of
Cardenas was terrible. The Winslow
and Hudson entered the har-or and
began firing Dc the Spanish gun-boat
at the dock at range of about $500
yards. Ths Spanish boats we're as
sisted by the shore batteries aud shot
and shell seemed to come from every
direction. The little torpedo boat
Winslow kept her guns gong with
splendid regularity until solid shot
crashed through her hull and knock
ed ont her b,iler. In an instant she
began to rock and roll helpIessly
Then came ferocious yell Of trium ph
from the Spanish ships and the ram
of shot and shell fell faster.
The gmboat Hudson ran alongside
and succeeded in getting close enough
to throw line to Ensign Bagley and
a groop Of men who stood ON deck
ready to make it fast. "IIcave her"
shouted Bagley with a laugh, at is
getting hot here" At that moment
Il shell struck the deck of the Wins
low amid the group and Bagley and
several others were instantly killed.
The line parted and after much
trouble another was thrown, but there
were only three men on board the
Winslow to make it fast. The boat
was finally towed out of range and
the dead and wounded cared for.
