There was nobody hurt on our boat,
but on the torpedoboat there was five

transferred again to the tug and sent to
Key Vest The men worked on the

COLLECTOR LEE IN DEFAULT
Indicted by the Grand Jury of
Talbot County.
AN ALLEGED SHORTAGE OF $4,000
Defalcation Does Not Affect
State Moneys.
The sherin7s ofiioers Unable TO Find the
Accusod-The Witnesses and Bondsmen
In tho Caso--I.ee Active and Prominent
In Democratic Political Management.


Baltimore Sun Special
Easton, Nd, May %. When the in
dictments for defaulting in paying over
tax money collected were found by the
grand jury on Friday against William
4. ii. Leo, iate collector for Easton dis
trict, Mr.. Lee was not in Easton and
the sheriff has not yet served the bench
warrants, being unable to find the ac-
cused. His most intimate friends dis
claim having any knowledge as to
where lie ia. 1t is said he has not been
in Eastun since Thursday morning.
The court fixed the bond at $1,000
ON each Of three indictments. The al
legged default amounts to over 50, n00.
1t il all for county taxes, the State
having been settled with.
The witnesses on the book of the in
dictments arc Alexander Chaplain,
treasurer of the school hoard, and
Charles +. Stewart, clerk TO the county
commissioners. The sureties on the
bond OF Mr.. Lee us county collector are
William X. Martin, now judge of the
Circuit Court; Charles Il. Wooters,
now register of wills; Capt. Edward
Roberta, contractor and builder, now
one of the United States public build
ing inspectors, and Harry Roberts, a
druggist. Tie two last are Mr.. Lees
brothers law.
William T. Ii. Lee is a member OF
the Democratic State Central commit
tse and is well-known in the State for
his prominence in Democratic counsels.
in Talbot county, where he ia very pop
ular, he has had considerable sway in
political matters. In 1895 he went on
the legislative ticket at the solicitation
of Senator Gihaon, as hi9 particular
friend iu his contest for re election to
the United States Senate, but was de-
feated with the rest OF the ticket.
Many think his financial downfall be-
gan then, as it was very expensive
and losing political campaign.
No one accuses Mr.. Lee of spending
this money on himself or his family.
lie is man of good habits and has al
ways been heretofore painstaking 10 bis
business affairs. 1t seems to have got
from him some way in driblets or in
accommodating friends, and there are
ugly rumors afloat affecting others
about the loss of this money. Many of
his personal friends say that il he had
cunfided in them about the stats of his
affairs he could have been saved, and
they are aao chagrined because hs did
not remain here and face all his
troubles. 1t is said ho has life insur-
ance, IN which the premiums are paid
tU date, equnl to dUuble the amount OF
the alleged defalcation. Mr.. Les is IS
years old.

London, Eng, May 2l.- According
to the best expert opinion in London,
If Admiral Cervera has gone to San
tiagu de Cuba, he has made a fatal
mistake.
Vice Admiral Philip Howard Colomb,
retired, the author of nuinber of
naval works, including Tho Naval
War Came" writes that he ia con
vinced the Spanish admiral is now
unlikely TO strike at ALL He adds that
if he enters Suuth Cuban port it
will scarcely affeut the United States
blockade, Tor Rear Admiral Sampson
will only have to detach somewhat
superior force Of his heavier ships to
cover Cevera's fleet, while a group of
the lightesr and Hwiftest vessels would
be watching to ace that he did not move
without being reported, and oil the
rest OF Rear Admiral Sampson's feet
could devote themselves to the blockade

Eastou, Md. May 23-There is trouble
in ona of the public schools on Thigh
mans Island because calisthenics are
used in the school as a mode of physical
culture. II is bitterly opposed by thu
Rev. W. W. Chaires, paetor of the
Methodist Church, who is a patron Of
the school, especially when practiced
by the girl pupils ON the ground that it
teaches children to dance and induces
them to become fond of dancing, which
be considers immoral and which is
against tine rules of his denomination.
School Commissioners Nichols and
Dodson invited tins patrons Of the
school TO meet them in the school room
a few days ago to have the matter in
yestigated. MIR. Chaires was there,
with others. The commissioners di
rected Miss jackson, the teacher, to
put her pupils through this physical
culture drill When it commenced Mr..
Chairaa at once left the building. The
missloners sustained Miss jackson
and commended the modest and gentle
calisthenic drill she employed.
