ated animal.
Through Storm Of Shells.
The second hawser from the Eud-
son was a five-inch one. They at
tached it to the pilot house under a
rain Of ammunition. Then the Hud-
son began to move forward again.
She continued to move forward, firing
her six-pounders as rapidly as the
men could load them. These gun
ners were swearing at their slowness
to work harder. He strobe up and
down the deck. dividing his attention
among these gunners and the Span
iardS and the hawser. His quarter
master walked beside him, praying un-
consciously that the rope would not
part like its predecessor. They stood
out boldly on the deck of the i.ttle
revenue cutter, entirely unmindfui OF
the spat, spat spat of the bullets and
the screaming of the shells.
1t was absolutely necessary for the
little Hudson to get the remains OF
the Winslow and her dead out of the
zone of fire. Half a dozen times the
Hudson was struck by shells, so that
she also began to resemble dere-
lict. But she kept steamirg ahead
through the treacherous shoals, over
possible locations for mines, now
scraping a coral reef, now dragging
the Winslow off an unseen shallow
place. but always belching forth flame
and smoke from her six-pounders and
always leaving the masked batteries
farther and farther behind untn at
last the nearest geyser was yards and
yards rearward.
And then the officers yelled to the
men on board the Winslow and
learned OF the death of Ensign Bag
ley and of four other deaths So
great was the rage on the HUDSON
that every member OF her crew want
ed to have the boat turned arounc and
reenter the harbor and destroy every
visible object in Cardenas. including
the three gunboats and the masked
battery and all the Spanards there

Given Deserved Honor.

OF course they were mentioned in
the reports of the conflict. Particular
mention was made of the commander
of the Hudson for his GOODNESS and
supreme disregard of apparently GER
tain destruction. Then President Nc
kinley sent to congress this recon-
mendation:
81 recommend that in recognition
Of the signal act of heroism of First
Lieut.. Crank H. Newcomb, United
States revenue cutter service, above
set forth. the thanks of congress be
extended to him and to his officers
and men of the Hudson, and that
gold medal of honor be presented to
Lieut.. Newcomb and a silver medal
of honor to each member of his crew
who served with him at Cardenas."
Both branches of congress united
in passing favorably on the recon-
mendation and Lieut.. Newcomb re-
ceived letter from the treasury de-
partment containing this expression:
Yours is the proud distinction of
being the only commissioned officer
Of am service to whom congress
awarded gold medal for herosm
during the war with Spain"

glere were other sreen-topped keys,
:1ith a channel running indefinitely
among them. Beyond the wriggling
saannel Cardenas lay in an angle of
sioping hills, seven miles away.
The Wilmington. drawing IS feet Of
water in these shadows, proceeded to
location within l,SOO yards OF the
water front; the Winslow. lighter
draught boat. went 800 yards farther.
The little Hudson impudently fol-
lowed. Ahead of these two American
craft were the scudding Spanish gun
boats. They fed apparently from
force of habit until they nestled some
where among the wharves Of the city.
Now the Winslow and the Hudson
were triumphant pursuers They
pushed pell nell into a zone of buoys.
Through the sultry air echoed and
'eechoed a discharge of numerous
guns.
Every gun on the Winsow instant
y replied, although the location of
Sae Spanish batteries was a guess
work place. The enemy used smoke
less powder; the American ships were
draped with smoke. Then came an
other discharge from the Spaniards
from the shore, from visible ware
houses, from the docks. The Amer
leans knew that the gunboats were
hidden among certain wharves. so
they steamed ahead in defiance of the
mines and the masked batteries. They
penetrated the zone of the buoys until
they were only 800 yards from the
gunboats. There was continuous
pyrotehcnic display. The water
around both. beats constantly showed
geyse.s.
Lieut.. Nemcomb observed the con-
dition of the Winslow and steamed
toward her, still valiantly peppering
everything Spanish within range. He
saw Bagley signal and hold aoft a
megaphone, and presently he heard
the ensign yell:
I'VE are disabled. Come and tow
us off,"
At once the Hudson steamed with.
in the uneven circle of water spouts.
He approached until he was only 200
yards from the battered Winslow.
The shells came thicker and thicker
and the Spaniards were shooting with
surprising accuracy. Once the Wins
low careened and belched forth a part
of her body. Steam followed the as
sortment of missiles. On board the
Hudson Newcomb observed to his men
that the boiler of the Winslow was
evidently gone.

American seaman. They will men

The battle of Cardenas took place
because three Spanish gunboats used
to sneak out of their shelter at op-
perfume moments and try to pick off
passing American tugboats and
launches If the gunboat advanced
spiritedly into the zone OF effective
craftsmanship. demonstrating at once
the superiority of its individuals, the
Spanish boats retreated. So the

because they feared probable mines.
Eager for Brave Deeds.
On May II the gunboat Wilmington,
the torpedo boat Winslow and the So
! called gunboat Hudson, converted
revenue cutter, met outside the harbor
Of Cardenas and decided to go inside
and do some damage. They were
weary of the sallies of the Spanish
gunboats. Then they were eager to
do brave things. This waterway to
conflict was broad and shallow, with
two jagged stretches of land close to
the mouth, and outside dotted
formation of coral keys. Here and

Bagley rushed to the rail and cried
out to Newcomb to heave line. An
officer of the Hudson ran forward
v ith a line and beloved:
Don't miss it,"
Bagley laughed and waved his hand
cheerily.
Let her come!" yelled the boy.
"It's getting too hot here for comfort. "
Eventually the task was apparent

ahead, her men looking back calmly
at the screaming town Of Cardenas.

JIMMY IN THE LIONS DEN, AND WHY.

Why should Reynolds return to New York to
mix at the presidents request in Republican poll
tics? Why should Mr. Roosevelt interfere"
New York Republicans hardly ask thu ques-
tion. On the east side of the city il is lhe but
the solemn truth that the Hon. Big Tim selects
the Republican well as the Democratic district
leaders. However, Mr.. Roosevelt Is personally
popular there. and man having his mandate, and
who is besides well known Reynolds, can
do considerable work. From politicians S stand
point it is foolish to leave great mass of friendly
voters at the mercy of leaders named by the op-
position. 1t was this one-sded system that beat
Hearst for mayor last fall. The Republicans cleo
tion officials obeyed the Democratic leaders.
