Considerable excitement was created

large gathering of colored people, who
We're very indignant at the seemingly
cruel manner in Which the youths had
been murdered.
From the evidence brought out at
the coroner's inquest, which took place
Sunday night it seems that Geo Rob

go rowing with him in the afternoon
which invitation was accepted. AT l
Robertson and James Smith. met
George Robinson in the boat and
the trip across the water was begun.
All went smoothly until the supposed

poration Of the United States Flour
Milling Company, filed in New Jersey
yesterday mark the consolidation OF
nineteen of the larger mills, including
those in Duluth, West Superior, VIII
waukee and Buffalo and Syracuse,
N. Y. The organizers Of the trust have
bought only such properties as they
could procure at a reasonable market
price. The nineteen mills included in
the list have a daily capacity of about
10000 barrels of flour. George Urban
Jr of Buffalo is to be the president of
the company.
The United States Flour Milling Com
pany is capitalized at $25,000,000, half
common and half preferred stock, and
$15, 900, 900 6 per cent forty-year gold
bonds.
1t was expected the Pillsbury-Wash-
burn Milling Company the Washburn-
Crosby and the Northwestern Consoli-
dated Companies would go into the
consolidation, but it is stated the Eng
lish shareholders wanted such eXor-
bitant prices for their holdings that
these companies were left out of the
consolidation.
The bonds and stock of the company
or combination already have been Of
fered for sale, and it is said they have
been largely subscribed for. The COM
bination may result in ruinous war
between the trust and those milling
companies which have not entered into
the consolidation

The Hudson drew few inches less than

Cardenas Bay is an !rregularly formed
bit of shoaI water with its opening near
ly closed by a narrow neck. Of land
stretching from what would have been
the western head of the bay to the east
ward The channel should have opened to
the north, but the narrow strip turned
it to the east and in coming out it is near
ly to the east that a vessel must head.
Even then the channel is cut up by two
Gays into three passage ways, only one OF
which is considered safe. This was the
channel to the west, and this the Spanish
had thickIy planted with mines. The pas
sage in the middle between the two Gays
was too shallow and there was a chance
through the channels to the eastward.
The three vessels took the chance and
after carefully sounding the eastern chan
mel they entered the bay.
The bay is about nine miles from north
to south and as much from east to west.
The town of Cardenas lies on its south

east a shoal runs out into the bay almost

Gus denials from the commanding officer
of the Wilmington and from the officers
who were on board during the fight and
from those who sympathiZe with them;
but Scott adheres to his statement, and
his brother officers will not deny such a
happening was possible. The story has
caused much excitement in the East, and
now interest has been transferred in part
out here by the arrival of Lieutenant
Meade, who was an officer of the Hudson
during the fight
The question has been considered by the
Navy Department but it has been de-
cided to make no formal investigation.
The denial of Captain Todd of the Will
mington and the added statements of
Lieutenant Bernadou, who commanded
the Winslow, that his men were killed
by Spanish shell have been taken as
sufficient; but the revenue officers call at
tention to the positions of the three ves-
sells during the engagement, to the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of the
men and the fearful effect of the bursting
projectile, and then leave the matter to
the judgment of those who hear Scott
is the only one who says outright that
'Bagley was killed by a shell from the
Wilmington.
The battle was fought on May u, 1898.
For weeks before the American vessels
had been blockading the bay of Cardenas,
and they had been annoyed by the audac-
ity of three small light-draught Spanish
gunboats that would run out from the
shallow harbor, dart around the Gays
until they sighted the waiting warships
and then scurry in again like frightened
chickens, while their pursuers, of heavier
draught, could not follow them in the
shoals of the channels. 1t was too much
for Commander Meade a the MachiaS 10
senior officer of the blockading squadron
and he ordered the Wilmington, the Hud-
son and the Winslow into the harbor to
find and, if possible. destroy the Spanish
vessels. The Wilmington was a gunboat
drawing nine feet of water; the Winsow
was torpedo-boat, armed with one
Founders and drawing six feet and the
Hudson was a converted tug from the
revenue marine service, officered by off,
