Chaplain Cassard Of the Indiana re-
Gently contributed a bit Of unwrltteB
history Of the naval fight or Santiago

was Just after the Maria Teresa had
gone ashore on the rocks. She was on
fire and flames were shooting from her
in every part. Dead aud dying sailors
were lying on her decks, the dying

fering up prayers for salvation. Those
who had escaped had made their way
to shore, some painting to liberty w
the mountain side. Others stood await
ing capture by the Al 'erican ships

boat load from the Indiana had put Off
and was the first to reach the shore,
after the Teresa had struck. Chaplain
Cassard was m Of the %resculng party.
The Teresa's sailors on shore, most
of them naked, others with but a thin
garment, gazed in fear at the jackies,
MANY expecting to be killed. But they
had come on an GRAND Of mercy and
soon made their mission known.
In the midst of this carnage Of war
the chaplain saw an American sailor
put Off toward the Teresa, 200 feet dis.

going Off on the broken ship, shells
were exploding In every direction and

the dull glare Of the flames showed
only too clearly the sailors peril from

rope he went, hand over hand, and
reached the deck.
Those on shore saw him pull a re-
vOlver. Presently its sharp crack was
heard and the sailor, oblivious to dan
ger, walked along, shooting at inter
walls.
AT the risk Of life,7 Chaplain Cas-
sard said, 'this hero had gone aboard

STARVED slxTv-FvE DAYS.

A. D. Hendrickson Of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, has for sixty-fve days partaken
of no food, and there is no telling
when he will. MI. Hendrickson is 81
years old, but his long fast does not
seem to disturb him in the least. He
says he feels perfectly well and is not
at all hungry.
The case is attracting the attention
Of physicians and is said to be with
out its like in the records. On Dec. l
the octogenarian was stricken with
paralysis. For several days he was
unable to eat, but he soon recovered
the use of his muscles. He then re-
fused food and has lived on water
aver since. His pulse is normal, he
sleeps we'll and seems in no need Of
n~ourishment. OF curse he could be
forced to take food. but his family is
disinclined to adopt extreme measures
so long as the patient is in no appar-
ent need Of nutriment. Mr.. Hendriek-
son came here from New York in 1855,
and has been prominent as an educa-
tor in industrial and penal schools
since then. He was sent to England in
