of the town is the best anchorage. One
and three-quarter fathoms, or less than
eleven feet of water is the rule off the
city, and this deepens to two, two and a
half and three fathoms farther out in
the bay.
With the Winslow on ner port bow and
little ahead of her and the Hudson in
the same relative position on her star
board bow, the Wilmington steamed slow
ly through the channel and then turning
to the westward ran toward the center Of
the bay. Arriving there she turned to
the south, and while she steamed still
more slowly down toward the town her
commander ordered the Hudson to run
t. the west and the Winslow to the east
and, turning to skirt the shore and both
sides of the town in the hope of sighting
the gunboats.
The weather was not clear and the
shore could not be reconnoitered from
great distance so the two little vessels
ran in to within two thousand yards OF
the land and then worked round parallel
to it, the Winslow passing close to the
outer edge of the shoal that reached out
from the east side of 5he bay.
The task of the Hudson was nearly
completed. She had skirted the shore
from the western side of the bay to just
off the city, where a mile out, lay two
merchant ships at anchor. AS she reached
them she heard firing off to the other
side of the city and Immediately after
the Wfnslow ran out of the haze with her
one-pounders splitting viciously and the
water all about her cut by the Spanish
shells. She had found the gunboats
moored to the stone quays with nothing
but bow or stern visible, and thus pro-
tected they opened fire on her as soon
as they saw she had approached as near

boats that informed her of their position.
and being little more than half a mile
from them she turned out into the bay
and taking position at a range Of about
two thousand yards she came into action.
In the meantime the Wilmington had
arrived off the city and was lying out
about thirty-five hundred yards. She
could not distinguish the gunboats, but
she could see the shore, and as soon as

T T is but few days less than a year
since the battle of Cardenas Bay, to the
| Americans the most disastrous naval
engagement Of the war. The only officer
killed in the brief struggle with Spain fell
in that fight, and with him fell four sea-
men-more than the dead of Manila and
Santiago combined. They were all killed
by the explosion of a single shell, and
now the startling statement is made that
the death-dealing missile came from an
American ship Of war, sped by an Ameri-

erring American seaman.

has smoldered for nearly a year, but the

IDAHO MILITIA
MAY BE CALLED OUT

BOISE, April 29.-The action of the
union miners in taking the Bunker Hin
and Sullivan mines at Wardner is
looked upon as a very grave matter bv
the State officials. Governor Steunen-
berg has been sick in bed three days
and is unable to give serious attention
to the problem, though he keeps in con-
sultation with other State officers. He
has sent State Auditor Sinclair north
with authority to represent him. The
Governor declines to make any state
ment, but it is understood he is re-
solved to exhaust every resource in en-
forcing the law.
The enlisting Of volunteers entirely
wiped out the State militia, but steps
are being taken to prepare the rem
nants fer service The Governor has
notified President Mckinley of the sit
uation and that It may be necessary
to call for Federal aid.

This was the more notable because
the statement of the roads earnings for
