Too Costly.

From the Savannah News.
Each shot of the long-range guns on the
big Spanish warships costs in the neigh
borhood Of $780, Spain is not in a fuan-
cial condition to waste $500 shots in bonn
harding 500 towns. hence a number of the
nervous little places along the coast may

the gunboat Machias died there shortly
afterward.
At 9:i5 pm. yesterday the Hudson, with
the dead bodies and some of the wounded,
started for Key West. arriving here at 8
o'clock this morning.
Lieut.. Bernadou, commanding the Wins
low. was wounded in the left leg, but not
seriously. Lying in the cabin of the Hud-
sen this morning, he received a reporter
Of the Associated Press and told the lat
ter the story of the fight. He said:
Lieut.. Bernndou's Story.
1--WE went into the harbor under orders
injured. She had five of her men killed,
and 1 don't know how many injured.
The Winslow was ordered by the COM
mander of the Wilmington to go into the
harbor of Cardenas and attack the Spanish
gunboats there. We steamed in under a
full head and were fired upon as soon as
we were in range. The Spanish boats were
tied up at the docks and had fair range
on us. The batteries on shore also opened
on us, and think we received most of the
fire. I don't know whether any one was
hurt on the Wilmington or on the Hudson,
but think not.
Il have no fault to find with the Wins
lows crew. They acted nobly all the way
through. The men who were killed all
fell at the same time. We were standing
in group, and the aim of the Spanish was
perfect The shell burst in our very faces"
Dead at Key West.
The dead and wounded brought here by
the Hudson were taken in small boats to
the government dock. This was the first
news of the engagement to reach Key
West
No time was lost in attending to the
wounded. quick call was sent to the
Marine Hospital and ambulance came
Gathering down to the dock. The dead
were taken to an undertaking shop and the
wounded were conveyed to hospital.
In the meantime, the news had spread
and crowds gathered about the dock, but
there was no sort of demonstration. The
success of the American ships in every ac-
ton thus far has been so Overwhelming
last come to some of our men.
Ensign Bagley was about twenty-six
years old, and while the fleet was station
ed here he was one of the most popular men
in the service. The news of his death came
as a terrible shock to all who knew him.
Torpedo Crews First to Fall.
1t has always been foregone conclusion
that the torpedo boat men would be among
gerous, but in spite of this, when the fleet
was stationed here and changes in assign
ments were frequently made, all the young
men OF the service were eager for torpedo
boat duty.

holes and her cabin and decks are smash

in which the torpedo boat Winslow, the
gunboat Wilmington and the auxiliary tug
Hudson took part.
There are three Spanish gunboats in
Cardenas harbor. One of them ran out and
the Winslow followed her We'll in shore
and fired after her. Then the masked bat
teries on shore fired. The Winslow replied,
and the Wilmington also opened up on the
shore batteries.
The firing was general for several min
utes, the shore batteries having good aim
Finally shell struck the Winslow in her
boilers. The explosion was terrific, and the
vessel was disabled. Ensign Worth Bagley
was killed with two members of the crew
and several Were wounded, resulting in
the subsequent death of two more. Lieut.
Bernadou, who was in command, was
wounded, receiving a splinter The Will

the disaster, but it impossible for the
Wilmington to run in shore so far. The
Hudson made a plucky run, under the fire
of the batteries. which had not been ST.

danger, while the Wilmington kept up its
Smelling of the shore batteries. Ultimately
these were silenced. The engagement be-
gan at l o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
lasted thirty-fiye minutes. Eight-inch
shells were used by the Spaniards, and
they employed smokeless powder
Several houses were set on fire by shells
from the Wilmington, and when the Hud-
son came away, bringing the dead and
wounded, half of the town seemed to be in
flames.
The Hudson was scraped by two or three
shells, but was not damaged. PEPPER.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. s27.-Seven
masked men held up the ~westbound
Missouri Pacific passenger train, known
as the Little Rock and Wichita Ex-
press. at a point in the wood between
Leeds and Dawson, even miles from
Kansas City, at $40 o'clock last Friday
night. To prevent interference they
first smashed the telegraph instruments
at the Belt line station, the junction
OF the Belt line and the Frisco, neal
the scene of the holdup, and marched

to a point half a mile east. While two

the roadmen. At a desolate spot up the
road the baggage car was quickly bro

placed upon the through safe, and the
local safe placed on top of it. So much
