to have been very heavy. as. the prisoners
in custody report their decks strewn with
dead and wounded in great numbers,
| and besides there is statement that
many bodies could be seen fastened to
pieces of wreckage floating in the sea
| after the fight was over.
A large number of the Spanish wound
ed were removed to the American ships.
There can be no doubt that Admiral
| Cervera's plan to escape from Santiago
harbor was entirely unexpected by Ad-
mirai Sampson and the best evidence of
this is the fact that when the Spanish
vessels were seen coming nut of the har-
Dor, the flagship New York was seven
miles away steaming to the eastward
toward Juragua, the military base, nine
miles east of Moro.
The New York was out of the fight
altogether at every stage, but she imme-
diately put about and followed the -others
but she Immediately put about and fol-
lowed the other vessels in the race to tho
westward and overlook them in time to
join in the chase for the Cristobal Colon
after the other Spanish vessels had been
destroyed by the Brooklyn, Oregon,
a Tya1s
Gloucester and other ships of the feet
Commodore Schleys flagship, the Brook
Ign had her usual position at the extreme
western end OF the line, ton miles from
the New York and Texas. 1t is peculiar
fact that he should have been in proper
position to direct the movement Of his
flying squadron against the Spanish fleet
which he had bottled up in Santiago har-
Dor six weeks before. As q matter of
fact the Ell tire American fleet was much
| further offshors than usual when the
Spaniards made their appearance. 1t was
not believed that Ceryera would attempt
to escape from his perilous position at
this late day, but it was supposed that he
would keep his ships in the harbor to
shell che advancing American army and
| that If Santiago fell he would blow up or
sink his ships before permitting them to
be captured by the feet lying outside
The Spanish Admiral's real plans, how
ever. were plainly not antioi pated. He
accepted the one chance open TO him and
great piles of naval architecture

miles from where he started, tell the
mournful story of his failure.

A Historic Key.

This interesting key of Loeb Leven
Castle is still in existence. 1t was
found in the lake, and is supposed to
have been the one threwn in by young
Douglas, when Mary queen of Scots
made her escape. The key was orig
inallyin the possession of William Hamp-
er, Esq, who presented 1t to Sir Walter
Scott, having first had an engraving
made of it. The Castle of Loeb Leven is
situated on an island of about two
acres, near the northwest extremity of
the lake. Queen Mary, when she dis
missed Boutwell, on Carberry hill and
joined the insurgents, was carried cap
tive to Edinburgh, and on the follow
ing day committed to Loch Leven castle.
On the a5th of March, 1657-s, she at
tempted to escape from thence, in the
guise of a laundress, but was frus-
trated. On Monday, May 2, 1868, how
ever, while the family were at supper,
the boy, William Douglas, secured the
keys of the castle and gave egress to
the queen and her M ID from the strong
hold; then, locking the gates behind
them to prevent pursuit, he placed the
fugitives in boat that lay at hand, and
rowed them to the appointed landing
place on the north side of the lake

Long Vacant.
Great as is the agility of office seek
ers, story which was told some years
ago seems apocryphal. It was orig
inally told by Mr.. John C. Rives, of
Washington, man well known in both
social and business life in that city.
The story concerned Maj. Hobbie, once
member of congress from New York
state, who, on the accession of Gen
Jackson to the presidency, was made
assistant postmaster general, which po-
sition he held until 1850.
Maj. Hobbie, like many of our present
high officials, was ever ready with the
fatal answer: mo vacancy" to all ap-
plicants for Office. Mr.. Rives said the
major had promised to appoint friend
of his to the first vacancy, and he had
called on him repeatedly to fulfill that
promise, but the invariable answer:
"No vacancy" was the excuse, until he
had about concluded to relinquish the
matter as bad job.
At length one day his friend called
on him, out of breath from running, and
told him that Mr.. Paine, a post Office
clerk, had just been drowned in the
canal, at the same time begging that
he would go with him to secure his place
from Maj. Hobbie.
Thinking he had sure thing this
time, Mr.. Rives said they both has

"Paine is dead, drowned in the canal,

Whereupon Maj. Hebbie sent imme-

Marr, and to the astonishment of all
present, Marr confirmed the stereo-
typed reply of mo vacancy"
"But yes there is" the applicant in
sisted. "Paine is drowned"

Stories of the Charming Politeness

Many charming stories have been told

when Lafayette made his second visit
to America, of the gallant Franchman's 8
courtesy.
On the day of his public reception in
Virginia he rode in an open carriage
without his hat, exposed to the rays of
brilliant sun, bowling to the crowds
always ready to greet him. There
was some apprehension that sun
stroke might be the penalty of his po-
liteness; but the marquis was an old
soldier. Before leaving home he had
put damp towel into his capacious
wig, and protected by this helmet, he
could indulge his French politeness
with impunity. French and American
revolutions and Austrian dungeons had
taught him the art of self-preservation.
The most charming story is of earlier
date-his visit to the mother of Wash
ington. He found her in the garden.
