Mayors Version

NEW YORK, June ga special to the
Press from Albany says:
James Mayors Of the flagship New York
in letter written to friend in Troy, says:
"Hobson and his men fought bravely to
cut their way back to US, killing many Span
iards, but the tide was too strong and they
were carried shoreward and taken prisoners
of war.
1.-The Spanish captain of the Cristobal came
to the ship, bearing a flag of truce, and told
the admiral that all our men were alive,
but without clothes. We sent them cloths,
provisions and money. He also said that
our men fought like demons and killed many
Of their men; that the Spanish admiral said
he never saw such bravery, and kissed ev-
cry one of them on the forehead. Every
body is admiring the pluck of the Spaniards,
as the odds are all against them. They
have no food, clothing or way Of being
helped. Yet they will not give In. How
ever, in another week, we will take It with
out loss of blood by surrender, or we will
kill every Spaniard on the island. We are
in for fair play, and will hold up "Old Glory
in spite of every human being. The Span
irds have been cruel to our boys of the
Maine, and now we will show them what
justice is and give them little Of Uncle
Sans wrath.
by the way, when the Merrmac was
with Maine printed on 1t was on the fore
mast. The poor Spaniards must have felt
sore to see that we never forget"

on the Thames this afternoon. Yale won,
but Harvard spurted at the final finish and
was so close second that only few feet
separated the two crews, while the boat of
Cornell was opposite No. of Harvard's
crew.
1t was a royal battle from start to finish,
with Cornell leading at first, Yale catching
her at the one mile and Harvard making a
grand rally and beating out Cornell at the
line.
Considering the weather conditions with
the wind blowing strong up stream and the
tide also running in that direction, the time
was fast, although the slowest since 1892
Every one of the freshmen came over the
line in the very best condition. The race
was called for 3 o'clock, but strong wind
caused a postponement and it was sos
when the pistol was fired
Harvard caught the water first and shot
ahead about three feet, Cornell, however,
was right after the Cambridge eight and
with the first ten strokes had drawn up
even and then passed her.
Harvard rowed about "a at the start, Cor
nell 80 and Yale &c.
The race to the first half mile was very
close, Cornell being in the lead, with her
however, put in good squirt just before the
mile was reached and passed Harvard.
At the first mile Yale crept up even with
Cornell and the two crews swept by the
mark with absolutely no difference be-
tween them. while Harvard was not over
quarter of a length behind. The next stroke
after the crews crossed the mile flag put
Yale foot in the lead, but Cornell recov
cred in the next and in the half mile follow
ing the crews alternated, first one showing
ahead and then the other. while Harvard
seemed content to have the nose Of her
shell at No. oar of the Cornell boat.
Just as the shells went by the one and a half
mile mark Yale succeeded in getting the
nose of her boat. beyond Cornell's and held
it there.
Then came the finish and such finish has
not been seen on the water for many year.
Harvards coXswain called on his crew, and
they responded nobly with squirt that put
them almost on even terms with Cornell.
At another eighth of mile from the finish
line Cornell put on another squirt and es-
tablished a slight lead over Harvard, but
could not catch Yale. Again the Harvard
coxswain called on his men, and the shell
jumped this time beyond Cornell, and with
the line only few yards distant the Cam
bridge crew had taken second place and
pluckily started after Yale.
Inch by inch they gained. pulling dash
ing stroke that sent the boat through the
water without a hitch, but the finish line
was not quite far enough away, and with
Harvard's boat at Yale's No. and Cornells
boat at Harvard's No. the crews sped over
the line and Yale had won.

English Coal Supply

WASHINGTON, June 23-The continued
strike in the Welsh coal mines has reduced
the supply of English coal to such an ex-

Town. to clear cargoes of coal from Phil
adelphia to Cape Town in order to enable
the company to keep up it's regular trips

The Wounded in SIMPSONS Fleet Re-
turn Their Thanks


WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Surgeon-Gen-
eral Van Reypen of the navy has received
a number of letters from his officers on
board the ships of Admiral SIMPSONS
squadron, testifying to the gratefulness
and appreciation with which the delicacies
sent for the sick and wounded have been
received. These deicacies, which were
made up of fruits of various kinds, ETC.,
were purchased by the contributions re-
ceived by the Surgeon-General from sew
eral of the associations throughout the
country which have been raising funds for
that purpose. The following is a sample
of the many letters received. It is from
Surgeon-General NJ. H. Simons of the
Iowa, dated June Is, and is in acknowledge
ment of stationery for the men and fruits
for the sick. The letter reads:
''If the ladies who sent them could see
how they are appreciated by the poor fell
lows who have had nothing of the kind
for nearly two months, during which time
they have been continuously aboard ship
in a temperature of between so and 90 de-
grees, they would understand better than
I can tell them how refreshing the fruits
are and how grateful all are for the an
gelic thoughtfulness which prompted the
sending
Captain Evans of the Iowa made the fol-
lowing Endorsement on this letter:
'Dr. Simons has stated it very mildly.
Being for the moment one of the sick ones,
can feelingly testify and do most will
ingly and gratefully express my thanks
and those of my ships company for the
delightful presents"
A letter from Surgeon Thomas H. Streets
of the Solace says that the ship arrived at
Guantanamo OIL the 18th instant, just in
time to take aboard the marines who had
been wounded in the battle at that place.
Afterwards the ship went to the vessels
of the squadron and collected their sick.
There were only nine sick men on all the
vessels of the squadron who were trans
ferred to the Solace. Subsequently the So
lace returned to Guantanamo and took on
board the insurgents who had been wound
ed in the fight Surgeon Streets in this
letter takes occasion to express the CRATE
full appreciation of the medical corps for
the pajamas donated to the ship through
Mrs. Frances H. Catlin of Morristown, N.
J. They were particularly serviceable, no
says, for the use of the wounded marines

THE SCHOOLS OF MAINE.
Annual Report of state superintendent
Stetson.

The annual report Of Superintendent
of Schools W. W. Stetson, has just been
complied and is an unusually interesting
document. The condition of the common
schools in every city. town and pianta'
ton In the state for the lschool year end
ing April /, 1897 is given, as are also the
number and condition of the free high
schools for the year ending juno /, 1897.
The whole number of persons in the
statesbetween the ages of and q, is 209,
1913, an increase of 543 over the year pre-
vious. The whole number of different
scholars attending school during the
year was 1s4, 40, decrease of 2, O01 from
the preceding year. The average regis
tered attendance per term for the year
was 1l4,5s4, a decrease of 256 from the
preceding year. The average daily atten-
dance per term for the year was "a, 912,
an increase of 1,704 over the preceding
year.
The average length of the school year
was % weeks, l day, an increase OF D
days over last year. The aggregate pum-
Der of weeks per yeRr was liz, 49S, which
is 3,716 weeks more than year ago.
There were 6, 7S6 teachers employed dur
ing the year, decrease of SO over last
year. OF these 925 were graduates OF
normal schools, while year ago there
were 9O3 from the normal schools. The
average salary per month of the male
teachers was s34.39, an increase OF 80. 20
over last year The average salary per
month of the female teachers was $22. A,
an increase of S344
There were of the time of the making
of this report, 4,39l schools, 81 more than
last yenr. OF this number 1,094 were
graded schools, 70 more than last year.
There.are 4, 1856 sohoolhouses in the state,

houses built during the year.27 less than
were built year ago. The estimated
value of all the property is So, 7S6, SOC,
an increase of 1916, 445 over last year.
The legislation of 1897 has had tenden-
oy already to raise the standard of the
FREQ high schools, so Mr.. Stetson declares,
and it's effect will be still more empha-
tically apparent during the nextsyear and
years following, as the new requirements
come to be more fully understood and
more generally complied with. Ths de-
crease in the number of scholars, while
the number of schools has increased,
and the large comparative increase in the
number of pupils taking advanced
studies show that the schools have been
more carefully graded and that the re-
quirements in this respect are being COM
piled with.
There are 1852 towns that have free
high schools, 10 more than was the case
year ago. There were 1900 pupils
registered, q decrease of CTS. There was
an average attendance of 1888, de-
crease of l, lao.
