TIE BUEAL OF TIE HERO.
Captain C.pron's body was brought

remains north at this season and the
interment took place on hill side

BOYS OF THE NAVY RECEIVE NEWS OF
THE BATTLE.
The tidiugs of the first land fight
in which American soldiers took pant
in Cuba was quick to reach the camp
at Juragua, and to travel thence TO
Baiquiri, then to the cruisers and
batlleships, and within a few hours
to the land and sea forces at Guam
tanamo. The interest aroused by
the fighting was very great, and the
almost universal query was did we
win?" Great regret was expressed
for those who fell.
LATEST REPORTS.
70 General Shafter:
II have just seen two negro boys,
who left Santiago this morning (Sat-
urda,). They report that the sol
diers and citizens are very short of
food. The soldiers and officers have
seized all the food in the shops.
They are killing young horses for
food and in the hospitals are sub.
sisting on bread made of rice flour.
Three Spanish generals took part
in the fight at Sevilla yesterday
Five wagon loads of wounded were
carried into Santiago and many
| others wounded got there on horses
| or afoot. We can see MORO Castle
and the flag very distinctly from our
position. The Cubans confirm the
reports as to the fine character OF
the Notifications around the city.
Seven lines of balbed wire are
| stretched around the trenches. The
SpaDiards have recently dug deep
trenches around the entire city, con
Meeting a series of small forts.
iSlcne9( Wheeler.
These reports show the actual sit,
uation. The armies of the United
| States and of Spain are almost face
to face, and less than four miles
apart. Tonight the picket lines at
certain points are within hailing dis
tance of the enemy. It seems GER
tain that the battle of Santiago must
come within a week.
NUMBER OF OUR DEAD INCEASED.
General Wheeler in bis official
report places the number of dead in
the engagement at Sevllla at twenty
two aud the wounded as between
seventy and eighty.
The bodies of thirty nine Span
iards have been found The Span
ish loss in killed and wounded was
doubtless much heavier than that Of
the Americans.
The majority Of the American
troops are now here or at the front

REMAINS OF
ENSIGN BAGLEY


 Key West, May 1s-The remains of En- sign Worth Bagley, of the torpedo boat Winslow. were sent to Jacksonville this evening to his brother there, from which point they will be taken to his home in Raleigh. Brief funeral services were held at St. Paul's Episcopal church. The Rev. Gilbert Higgins officiated. A number of officers, with a guard of marines and sail ors from many of the ships. escorted the body to the church. The stars and stripes and numerous floral offerings covered the coffin. At the conclusion of the services many passed near the casket to take last look upon the face of the dead. The casket was borne by six sailors, immediately fol- lowed by the pail bearers selected from Ensign Bagley's personal friends. Then came survivors of the torpedo boat Wins low, who showed much emotion as they gazed upon the body of the dead officer. A salute was fired when the body was placed on the steamer Mascotte.

Discuss Presiding Elders

Baltimore. May 16-Almost the entire session of the conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, today was de- voted to a discussion of the proposition to admit to eight consecutive years the ap- pointment of presiding elders. full score of speeches were made and the session was a pr6tracted one, resulting finally n a de- cision to leave the question entirely to the discretion of the bishops. The com mittee on boundaries reported adversely on the request of the West Virginia confer- ence to have a portion of the Baltimore conference territory lying in the mount aims detached from the latter and added to the former, and the committee on Epworth League recommended that the president of the various societies of the league be made members of the quarterly confer ences.

Key West Gun

An unimportant gun is the Key West gun. It Is a fifteen-inch gun and throws shells containing from fifty pounds to 800 pounds of nitro-gelatine. They are mounted on carriages to be turned and elevated by electric power so that the gunner standing on the platform on the left of the gun has entire control simply by moving levers He traverses, stops, elevates or depresses with out once taking his eye from the sight.
 The breech is interlocking. The slightest movement of the breech will make it in1- possible to fire. Under ground on each side are big chambers and the firing reservoirs. Large wrought iron tubes are connected un- derground with the gun by two thirteen inch cast iron pipes, which connect with a cylinder air pipe in the center of the gun pintle. The air flows through these pipes into a swing joint which allows for the horizontal plane of the gun, and is then carried throug the pipes by the sides of the carriage to the trunnions of the gun, each of which has trunnion swing joint which carries the air from the pipes to the gun itself and allows for motion in a vertical direction.
 The main barrel of the gun itself is en- cased in an outer barrel from the trunnions to the breech. The air is conducted from the trunnions to the two barrels in the an- nular space between the two barrels to the firing valve, which is located in the breech. When this valve is opened the air flows in behind the projectile and starts it forward. When the predetermined amount of air has passed the valve it closes automatically by meanse of the Rapieff valve. This amount of air can be controlled absolutely. and can be fired at will by the gunner. This alters ther ange without changing the ele- vation of the gun.

COMPARISON OF SPANISH
 AND AMERICAN FLEETS

Washington, May 13.-Considerable spec ulaticn has been indulged in today at the navy department as to the prospects of a sea fight between Admiral Sampsons squadron and the Spanish Cape Verde fleet. It Is believed he will be able to in tercept them should they make dash for Cuba, but should they get past his vessels they would make 1t warm for our ships on blockade duty off Cienfuegos on the south coast. They could not stand for a moment against the big Spanish armored cruisers. and yet are not feet enough to escape if they are sighted. Should Admiral Sampson sight the Spanish fleet it Is not certain he could engage them, provided the Spanish admiral found 1t to his interest to decline the engagement.
 The Spanish ships are faster than any thing in our squadron, with the possible ex- ceptlon of the New York. If Sampson should fall in with them. however, and find the spaniards in a fighting humor he would have the best of it as far as chances can be calculated from a simple calculation of the respective number of armored ships and guns. The big battleshlps Indiana and Iowa, though 25 per cent. slower than tho Vizcaya class. far overmatch them in of- fensIve and defensive power. Their armor belts and turrets could not be pierced at fighting range of 2.000 yards by the big gest gun mounted by the spanlards. while the 12 and 13-inch guns of our battleships could perforate the Spanish armor belts. The New York. however, is inferior In both offensive power and armor to the Spanish vessels. though she might hold her own by superior management and gunnery. If Sampson has taken his whole fleet. with
