COMRADES IN DEATH.
Two Patriotic Youths Killed by q
Train.


Train.
New York May $50 eager were
Frank Nichols and Michael English to
risk their lives for their country that
they ran away from their homes In Bos-
i ton to enlist at Fort Slocum. But the
| chance to serve as soldiers was denied
| them, for they were cut down yesterday
| by an express train.
Like true comrades they died, one with
| his arm around the neck of the other, in
i the effort to save him. Thus their bodies
| were flung from the railway bridge into
Purchase Street, Rye. And the third
member of the expedition was left to go
| to the war alone.
They were three sworn friends and had
resolved to stick together through thick
| and thin, in good and evil fortune. When
they left Boston on Sunday their object
was to enlist in the new Seventh Regi-
ment of Artillery at Fort Slocum. When
they reached Stamford. Conn. there was
not enough money left in the common
eXchequer to carry them all any furth-
er, and as one would not ride while his
comrades walked. all three set out on
foot along the railroad tracks to New
Rochelle
When they reached Rye they called on
the Rev. DIR. Barry, to whom they had
credentials and he furnished them with
money enough to carry them to their des-
tination. From the clergyman's house
they went to the station to wait for a
train. Gallagher sat down and read a
newspaper. Nichols and English sought
an outlet for their exuberance by walk
ing along the tracks.
As the two men were crossing the
bridge over Purchase Street the structure
began to vibrate with the thunder of an
approaching train. In a hasty effort to
jump aside Nichols stumbled and fell.
English had ample time to save himself,
but he thought first of his comrade Wind
ing his arm around Nichols neck he tried
to drag him of the track. but his foot
caught under the rail, and before he could
extricate it both men were moved down
by the cowcatcher of a New Haven ex-
press.
Their bodies, clasped together. sailed
through the air and landed in the street
below. There was hardly an unbroken
bone in their bodies. but Englishs' arm
still encircled his friends neck
I'VE all swore to be faithful unto
DEATH" said Gallagher in a broken voice.

played their part sooner than they ex-
pected to. but I'll be very lonesome now"

SCHLEY PRAISES DEWEY.
He Declares the Spanish Had tn
Advantage in the Battle.

Old Point Comfort, Va. May 12.-Com-
modore Schley, commanding the flying
squadron. yesterday, for the first time
consented to give his views upon the VIC
tory won by Dewey at Manila. In speak
ing of the battle, he said:
Admiral Deweys victory at Manila
must deservedly take Its place side by side
with the greatest navy victories of the
worlds history. 1t has been urged that
the results show such decided inferiori,y
in resistance, as compared with the yigor
of attack. that there is a diminution of
glory. That is untrue, for it must be re-
membered that the greatness of Dewey's
success lies in the calm courage and dar-
ing displayed in his decision to enter a
strange harbor at night under the guns
OF many forts and Drawing perhaps the
hidden torpedo or mine.
1T strikes me that with several ad-
vantageous fortified positions the prepond-
erance of advantage was certainly with
the enemy and that with the great dar-
ing displayed by Dewey there must fall
upon his shoulders the mantle of Perry
and Farragut. From the accounts that
have been received of the battle it is eyi.
dent that. despite the great risk every Of
hcer and every man knew was being TAX
en-. there was not faint heart in all that
squadron, but an enthusiasm and esprit
de corps that could not but win with such
a leader.
Il would note, too, that superior educa-
ton which brings intelligence, coupled
with perfection in craftsmanship aided
greatly in winning the day, and will, be-
lieve, contribute to future victories Ad-
miral Dewey and every man in his SQUAD
ron deserves every recognition that a
grateful people and a nation can bestow."
News OF the return of the Spanish fleet
to Cadiz put new life into the squadron
officers. They believe public opinion in
Spain will force the sending of the Cadiz
fleet or part of 1t to sea, and that Com
modOre. Schley will have an opportunity
to display his skill and daring in battle.

THE MoNTsERRAr.s ESCAPE.
MHrblehead and Eagle Grounded,
When She Slipped Into Port.

New York, May Zone of the seamen
on the United States cruiser Marblehead
has written an interesting letter to his
brother in this city, and inadvertently it
largely explains how 1t became possible
for the Montserrat to run the blockade
into Cienfuegos.
1t appears from the letter that the Mar
blehead, the gunboat Nashville and the
converted yacht Eagle were ordered in
company from Key West on a mission un-
known to the crew. On their first day out
the Marblehead and the Eagle both ran
on coral reef and stuck fast. The Nash
vile doubtless tarried to help them of.
and all were a day or more late arriving
in Cienfuegos, whittier they were bound.
While the Marblehead and Eagle were
straining aground the Montserrat slipped
in, unknown TO any OF them, as this pas
sage from the seaman's letter shows:
1T was too bad we ran on the reef, for
IL we had reached Cienfuegos a day soon
er we would have captured a Spanish
transport with $50 troops aboard"
In the light of this 1t seems probable
that this section of the fleet was assigned
to guard duty near the port of Cienfuegos.
and that Admiral Sampson did not learn
of their disability in time to close a gap
In the blockade there.
There seems TO have been quite a warm
little scrimmage in the harbor of Cienfue-
gos, according TO the sailors account be-
tween the trio. Spanish gunboat and the
batteries on shore. He said:
I'VE wound up in Cienfuegos on Thurs
day night. Our captain, being the senior
officer. was in command. The next day at
noon we sighted a Spanish steamer COM
ing into the harbor. The captain signaled
to the Nashville 10 head her Off He then
stationed the Eagle near the entrance to
the harbor and We started after her. We
had not got far before a Spanish gunboat
came out and opened fire on the Eagle
The Eagle only carries four 6-pounders,
but she stuck right there.
We put about and came back and open
ed fire on the Spaniard, but she turned tail
and got into the harbor. The forts began
at US then. The old man gave the order
to fire one or two shots until he got the
range. We were then about s0o0 yards
from the sand batteries. We closed in and
sent about dozen shells into them, which
made them quit in short order. Just for
luck he sent n few more right into the
town. 1t was something out of sight. We
waited there about an hour, waiting for
them to fire again. II they had fired an
other shot We would have put the city on
the bum.
The steamer we captured had about a
dozen Spanish officers on board, one of
hem general. also 500 rifles. 800 cases of |
and a lot of supplies for the |
army"
This probably refers to the steamer Ar
and the supposed general was
probably Colonel Cortijo, General wey- |
er's brother-in-law, who is now impris- |
med at Fort Mcpherson.

II Ii Defended and Rebuked by OF.
Acers.
New York. May 12-Col Robert w.
Leonard. Of the Twelfth Regiment, now in
camp Peekskill, defends the action of the
Seventh Regiment in refusing to go to
the front under the plan of enlistment
now being followed
Il sympathize sincerely with the Sew
enth Regiment and am sorry to see the
false position in which It has been plac-
| ed" he said. "The regiment furnished
$40 officers to the Army. Navy. and Ma
| rine Corps during the civil war. Many
| men in the officers ranks of the Regular
Army and on the retired list today came
| from the Seventh Regiment. Col. Bart
lett. Of the Ninth Infantry, U. 8. A.. who
was retired about a year ago. was a
Seventh man. In looking over the Army
registers many Seventh Regiment men
can be found holding high positions.
"All the National Guard regiments of
the city have officers who came from the
Seventh Regiment. In the Twelfth out
of thirty-six officers fully twenty are old
Seventh men. 1 myself came from that
command, and i know the thoroughness
and completeness OF the work the men
there go through.
ITO order the Seventh out to carry mus
kets would be like ordering out a bat
talon of cadets of the Army whose drill
ing has been entirely to make officers
of them. The men of the Seventh are
of a social grade not found In the ranks
of enlisted men.
..They would be more useful as officers
than privates. / don't think the serv-
ice would gain by sending men out as
privates who ought to be officers.
ITO show that the Seventh men want
to go into the war II they can go in with
their value propely recognized, 1t is only
necessary to say that large number of
them have come over to my command in
the last few days to get commissions and
go to the front
..The Seventh is made up of men who
are engaged in businesses that would be
seriously affected by their going away for
two years 1t is quite different in the case
of men who have only job to give up.
and who may expect to get it back on
their return.
~ tell my men that this war does not
call for great sacrifices in the matter of
as in the case of men with rela-
tives dependent upon them. tell them
that this Is a war of charity, not
of patriotism. The flag and country are |
not in danger and we are fighting for an |
other race of people"
Other officers in camp take a different |
view of the situation from Col Leonard. |
One well known field officer, who by the |
Code Is prohibited from criticis- i
ing publicly brother soldiers. and there-
fore cannot let his name be printed. said: |
Col. Leonard has put the case so plain
y now that We begin to understand why |
the Seventh did not go to the front. 1t |
really amounts to this-that the Seventh
considered itself better tina nthe ordinary
considered itself better than the ordinary
les of the soldier.
