it was found that the StonewaH was
leaking very seriously, so Capt. Page
put into Coruna for repairs. He next
visited Ferrol, Spain, but on account of
the fact that he represented no recog-
niZed Government he was ordered to
leave the port.
In the meantime the Stonewall had
got considerable notoriety on account
of her alleged formidable character,
which was, however, magnified several
thousand times. Prominent European
newspapers volunteered the startling in
formation that it was destined to sink
all the vessels on the blockade and play
smash with everything afioat connected
in any way with the u. s. Navy.
The authorities at Washington were
promptly informed of the movements of
the Stonewall, and dispatched the frig-
ate Niagara (Capt. Thomas Il. Craven)
and the sloop Sacramento Capt. Henry
Walker), with orders to intercept, cap
ture or destroy the ram. These vessels
encountered the Stonewall at Ferrol
Spain, but for some unexplained reason
made no efforts whatever for her cap
ture or destruction. For this violation
of his orders Capt. Craven was relieved
from command and tried by a naval
general court-martial, by whom he was
found guilty and sentenced to suspen-
sion from duty for period of two
years.
The StonewalI crossed the Atlantic,
and put into Nassau, May 6, 1865. The
Navy Department got busy and dis
patched a special squadron in pursuit
Of the ram. This squadron was COM
manded by Admiral Samuel W. Godon,
who sailed from Hampton Roads with
the Susquehanna, Powhatan, Monticel-
10, Chippewa, Fahkee, Monadnock and
Canonicus. Capt. Page, of the Stone
wall, while at Nassau, learned of the
surrender of Lee. He also learned of
the squadron being in pursuit of him,
so he determined to seek safety in some
friendly port. discharge his crew and
get out of business as soon as he could.
He sailed from Nassau about the
middle of May, 1865, and instead of GO
ing to Port Royal. where his contract
for sinking the U. S. Navy was to begin,
he ran his vessel into Havana, Cuba,
and surrendered to the Captain General
of the island.
Admiral Godon arrived in port with
his vessels. and demanded a surrender
of the ram, to which demand the Gov
ernor-General promptly complied, and
the Stonewall became the property of
the United States. 1t was afterwards
sold to Japan for 100000. Capt. Page
was formerly an officer in the u. s.
Navy, which he entered Oct. I, 1927,
and was discharged therefrom April %,

with the farmer. He was an old man
by the name of Thomas Lewis, very
talkative and pleasant, who insisted on
us going into the house to sit down and
rest. Some of the men wanted to go
in, but the leader said no. After leav-

CHANGED RELIGIOUS HARNESS
Leading Filipino Preacher and His
Followers Leave Methodist ,Epls-
copal Church.

Manila, Mar. 4.-Nicholas Zamora.
a leading Filipino preacher, has with.
drawn from the Methodist Episcopal
church and, with 1000 followers, en-.
tered the Evangelical Methodist
church Of the Philippines. 1t is
planned to elect Rev. Zamora bishop
of the new organization.
Two native and a dozen resident
preachers of the Methodist Episcopal
church have Joined the movement.
There appears to be no doctrinal diff.
ferences between Mr.. Zamora and his
followers and the Methodist Episcopal
church and apparently they were
actuated only by the desire for an In.
dependent organization.
The Methodist Episcopal conference
is now in session. Bishop Oldham
who is presiding, has been comforting
with his associates about the Schism
and also with the Presbyterians
among whom a similar movement is
threatened, but nothing has been an,
nounced as to what action will be
taken.
