THE CARDENAS FIGHT,
In Which Young Bagley Lost
His Lite.

The engagement took place in
side the harbor of Cardenas, The
gunboat Wilmington. the torpe-
do boat Winslow and the gun
boat Hudson were the only yes.
sells engaged. They entered the
harbor for the purpose of attack
ing some Spanish gunboats
which were known to be there.
These latter, however, were not
injured by the American
force until the Spanish opened
fire The land batteries OF Carde-
mas supported the fire of the
Spanish gunboats.
The battle, while it lasted was
terrible. The Wilmington and the
Hudson were ahead and opened
fire on the Spanish boats which
we're lying at the docks. The fir
ing being at range Of $500
yards A few minutes later, the
Winslow came up and also opens
ed fire. In an instant the entire
attention of the Spanish gunboats
and land batteries was directed
upod her, From all sides shot
and shell seemed to pour in npon
the little torpedo boat.
Thes.Wilmington and the Hud-
son still kept up their fire but
they could not turn aside the
terrible storm Of fire and death
pouring in upon the torpedo boat.
The crew Of the WiDsloW, how
ever never faltered for a second.
At 2:35 p. M, "a solid shot crashed
into the hull of the Winslow and
knocked out her boiler. In an
instant she began 10 roll and
drift helplessly.
Then there was a moment of
awful suspense, A fierce cheer
of triumph went up from the
Spaniards on the gunboats and in
the batteries and a general storm
of fire was opened up on the
helpless boat. The gunboat Hud-
son, which was lying nearby,
started to the assistance Of the
Winslow. She ran alongside
the torpedo boat and tried to
throw line to the imperilled
crew.
Up to this time, with the ex-
ception of the one shot, which
disabled the boiler Of the Wins
low, the firing of the Spanish
gunboats had been wild, but as
the WinsIow lay rolling in the
water, the range grew closer and
shells began to explode all about
her. It was difficult for the Hud-
son to g3t near enough to throw
line to the Winslow crew, so
terrible was the fire all about her.
Finally, after trying for about
twenty minutes, the Hudson aps
preached near enough to throw
line. Ensign Bagley and six
men were standing in a group on
the deck of the Winslow.
"Heave her, heave her," shout
ed Bagley as ne looked toward the
commander of the Hudson, and
called for line.
sDon't miss it, shouted an
officer from the Hudson, and with
smile Bagley called back:

pected of being in active sympa
thy with Spain in this war.
Schley's Flying squadron has
been ordered to Porto Rico to be
on hand with Simpsons fleet to
give battle to the Spanish feet when
it arrives at Porto Rico, or to
head it off and engage it, which
ever turn it takes.

that he has located the Spanish

the city by means of monitors.

SATURDAY.
The President, Cabinet and all
officials of the Government feel
that the crisis of the war with
Spain is almost at hand All signs
point to decisive naval battle
in the West Indies within the next
three or four days. It may occur
tomorrow. The Navy Depart
ment will not be surprised to re-
ceive news Of an engagement at
any time,
The Cape Verde feet of the
enemy is proceeding westward
from Martinique, presumably to
the Cuban coast. Simpsons ars
mor-clads have probably started
to intercept the Spaniards.
Schley's flying squadron is
steaming rapidly to the support
Of the blockading force of the
unarmed craft under Watson.
Through some trickery in tele-
graphic communication, the
Spanish feet has been given the
advantage of nearly two days
start, and may succeed in attack
ing Watson's squadron before
Sampson and Schley appear on
the scene.
But one thing is certain, that
is, the ultimate destruction of the
Spanish feet. The only fear is
that it may do great damage be-
fore being destroyed.
CAPE VERDE FLEET sNEAKING.
By Telegraph to The Argus.
Washington, May 14.-The
State Department has received res
liable information from Curacao
that the Spanish feet has been
sighted off that place.
Caracoa is five hundred miles
southwest of Martinique, four
hundred south of San Domingo,
and seven hundred southeast oi
Santiago, Cuba.
If this information be accurate,
and its truth is highly probable,
the Spanish feet is making 8
detour to avoid Sampson's feet
and sneak into Cuban waters
from the westward.

NAPoLEoN,S LAwT WORDS.
The Dying Thoughts of the Man Whom
 Europe Feared.

On his deathbed Napoleon expressed his conviction that England would end like the proud republic of Venice.
 With perfect composure he gave his last directions: 1T desire that you will take my heart, put 1t in spirits of wine and carry 1t to Parma to my dear Marie Louise. You will tell her that never ceased to love her and relate to her ev- cry particular respecting my death up- on this miserable and dreary rock. You will tell my mother and family that the great Napoleon expired in the most de- plorable state, deprived of everything, abandoned to himself and to his glory, and that he bequeathed with his dying breath to all the reigning families of Europe the horror and opprobrium of his death. '
 The second codicil of his will con- tained the direction, which was after ward complied with, "It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I love so we'll. ;
 On the 9th of May, 1891, he who had for years kept all Europe in state of feYerish excitement terminated his earthly career.
 After lying in state two days the body was deposited in coffin composed first of tin lined with white satin, which, having been soldered. was inolos- ed i'll another of mahogany, 8 third of lead, and the whole in fourth of ma- hogany secured with iron screws. After the ceremony an enormous stone was lowered over the body. resting on 3 stone wall 50 as to escape the coffin,
 On the i2th of May Louis Philippe commanded that the ashes of Napoleon be conveyed to France. In his commu- nieation he said; "I4eneeferth France alone win possess all that remains of Napoleon. His tomb, like his fame, will belong to neae but his country.
 At II o'clock, Dee 15, che first can nen was heard announcing that the re- mains of the emperor had. reached French ground. Amid the vast assem- bIago the body was borne by 24 seamen to its lasE resting place in the Hotel des Inyalides.
