p. h. Worden of Carmel, N. T., At
tempts Triple Murder.
Angered over her refusal to marry
him, P. II. Worden killed Edith Roscoe
by cutting her throat. He then attacked
Mrs. Sherman Roscoe, sister-in-law Of
Miss Roscoe, with a hammer, crushing
her skull and inflicting fatal injuries.
Worden then shot himself, but may re-
cover. The tragedy occurred at the Ros-
coe home on a farm near Carmel, n. Y,
where Worden and Miss Roscoe were
visitors. The cause assigned for Wor-
den's acts Is that he was insanely jeal-
GUS of Miss Roscoe and killed her in a
rage because she declined to marry him.
His attack on Mrs. Roscoe is thought to
have been due to Worden's belief that
she had Influenced her sisters action in
refusing him.

Hero of the Merrimac Declares Ger.
vera's Fleet Was Superior to Ours.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
the hero of the Merrimac, in an article
printed in New York, makes some inter.
esting statements concerning the battle
of Santiago. He says:
''At Santiago the Spaniards had good
ships, heavily armed, OF twenty knots
speed. Ou' side we had but two fast
ships in our squadron, the New York
and Brooklyn, and they only armed cruis.
ers, our heavily armored vessels being
only sixteen-knot ships
"If the Spaniards had clustered out
side and stood away at twenty knots
speed, and our motley feet had put out
in pursuit. before nightfall our vessels
would have been far separated, scarcely
one In the line being in sight Of the next
ahead or next astern. and the Spanish
squadron could have turned around and
defeated them one at time.
''The Spanish officers and enlisted men
were brave and courageous, and died
nobly at their posts of duty. The differ
ence lay in efficiency.
why this was not the result, instead
Of the complete destruction of the Span
ish feet, l can explain as follows:
ANY person going down to our feet
prior to the war would have found every
officer and enlisted man engaged from
morning to night, each in planning and
executing methods to increase the eff
cheney of his own department in battle.
Reports from the Spanish squadron show
no such activity; no target practice, only
occasional perfunctory swinging Of tur-
ret guns.
Admiral Cervera informed me when
I called on him at Annapolis. returning
the gracious call that he paid to me while
in prison in Santiago, when the question
of the battle came up in conversation,
that he had been forbidden by his govern.
ment to cut out any of the woodwork,
and that the cutting of the fire main on
his flagship in the early stages of the
action prevented fighting the fire. which

Confederates followed up the unfor-
tunate expedition. and harrassed Ad-
! miral Porters fleet with a heavy fire.
The danger Of the position was in
creased by the shrinkage Of the river
owing to the dry weather. and at one
point the vessels were brought to a
dead stop by shallowness of the water.
Finally, a Federal engineer contrived
dam. the water was raised to the
requisite height. and the expedition,
its ranks pitiably thinned by casualty
and the retention Of prisoners, foated
into safety.
Here is Sir Charles's terse descrip-
tion Of the deed that won admiration:
1t is written in the language of the
man Of action wna has no time to
waste upon superfuons words. Bu,
the brave badness of the narrative
proves the personal experience of the
chances Of war. to which no reference
is made:
"The bravest act I have ever wit
messed was that of an American officer
during the American Civil war. The
United States government had organ
lied a large army to proceed from
Louisiana and invade Texas. For a
very long time the road and the river
the Red River ran side by side.
Consequently our victories were easy
and many. because we had the gun
boats to protect US. have often
thought that these were arranged by
the enemy to give us a false security
and lure us further on. Anyway, the
result was that after some weeks Of
marching and fighting we found our
selves on huge plain in the midst
Of the forest, and thirty miles from
the river. The enemy here turned upon
us. and after two battles captured our
guns and many prisoners. Dangerous
as was our position that Of our fleet
of gunboats became, after this catas-
trophe, more dangerous still. They
were proceeding up the river toward
the point where road and river were
again to come together. The enemy,
now free from attack. could build
forts in the rear Of the feet, and cap
ture them-too. 1t was necessary that
they should be ordered to retreat down
the river as soon as the second battle
ended. The quickest way was to 90
straight ahead, right through the
enemy's camp. and ride for life to the
river bank. Neither gun nor cavalry
could touch him. though he was in
their midst, and so, after a hard ride,
he reached the river. Here, alas. the
presence of single United States
officer was so unexpected that our own
people shot at him. and he fell pierced
by several bullets. His pursuers, in
recognition Of his gallantry, forbore
taking him prisoner. and allowed him
to be carried on board his compatriots'
gunboats. where he fingered for many
weeks in the greatest agony. Event
ually he reached New Orleans. where
in few days more he died. I myself
arrived in that city and attended his
funeral"
