Maudlin Kraut, lie In 1'un.ble or Uiiivlllir to Disclose IdeUllly ur His Ap.iilii.ru. Impossible tu Dtgecover Ex? tent of Injuries. Maudling drunk. In a helpless con? dition, Billy Nolan, a white man about. thirty years of age. was shot by a young man, whose Identity re? mains unknown, and from the effects of the wound Inflicted he may die. The difficulty occurred about 10 o'clock last night behind Baxter Rodgers' malt liquor house on Lafay? ette avenue, near Thirty-eighth street. What the trouble waa which led to the shot which may prove fatal, cannot be learned, as Nolan, dazed by the wound, and senseless from the liquor which he had been drinking, could not be Induced to give Information concern? ing the shooting. A crowd soon gathered near thev scene of the tragedy and the wounded man was carried to the Shipyard Phar? macy. Dr. B. R. Gary; the coroner, soon arrived upon the spot am! made a hasty examination of the man's con? dition. When seen by a Dally Press reporter late last night, Dr. Gary said that the victim was so maudlin drunk that it was impossible to elicit any informa? tion from him concerning the affair. An examination of the wound inflicted failed to discover to what extent the man waa Injured. The shock of the injury, in addition to his drunken con? dition caused him to become nauseated and the fact that no blood was found proves that the stomach ia not damag? ed. When asked whether he thought the man would die. Dr. Gary said: "I cannot say. The bullet entered Just left of the navel, and what damage it may have done internally I am not In a position to sa>. The hole made by the ball la not large, made by a weapon certainly not larger than a thirty-two calibre, possibly as small as a twenty-two. We probed for the bullet but could not locate it. As cor? oner It was my duty to take an ante mortem statement. In case the man should die, but he was in such a state of drunkenness that what I found out was very little. He describes the man who shot him_as a young men, spare built, wearing a light moustache. He claims to know the man by sight, but says that he is unacquainted with him and doea not know his name. He de? clared that, If he recovered from the effects of the wound which he had re? ceived, he; would And his assailant and kill him." Some of the by-standers, ..who. crowded into the. drug-storewhere the man" was taken, believe that he knew the name of the man who had fired the shot, but that he desired to con? ceal his identity for some reason known only to himself. Owing to Nolan's recticence the motive for the shooting remains a mystery. Later the wounded man wa? moved to his boarding house on Forty-fourth street, whero he was attended by Dr. J. W. Ayler, who made a further ex aminatien for the purpose of consider? ing the advisability of performing an operation. At lata hour Dr. Ayler was still with the patient, who was resting as comfortably as could be expected. LATER?At 4 o'clock this morning Potrolmen O'Harra and Giddings ar letted Mike Ryan, who is charged with the antooting. I. A 1 S\U KITES. Colonel Braxton 1-u.ul to Kent San. Afternoon.

Competitors for eholastio Hon? ors Receive the Rewards for Jheir Labors. ?Ah.e a""ual commencement exercises ?c, H ft? "",rt NeW9 MW School were held in the opera house last night. I In the presence of a large audience of friends of the school. f When the curtain rose it was a pret? ty scene which greeted the eye. On either side of the stage in the fore? ground sat six young, ladies?Misses J;oSa w,?rrison- Vivian Binns. Mary i Ellen O'Donnell. the graduates, ana Misses Mary Farthing. Willie Powell and Ella (_,rey. Beside the young la? dles sat Mr. Herbert LIpscomb. At the rear of the stage sat Messrs C A Ashby, J. J. O'Donnell. C. C. Berkeley' J. S. Jones, John G. Livezey, E. I Ford' Se~- Mol'ey. B. F. Llpscomb,' E. 1. A\elltord, C. C. Cox, Hon. T T Powell, Dr. W. F. Cooper, and Prof." Jeftries. The exercises were opened by a fer? vent prayer offered by Rev. B. F. Lip scomb, after which Hon. T. T. Powell introduced Miss Mary Farthing, who read an essay, taking for her subject. "Learn to Labor and to Wait." Miss Farthing read her paper in a very ac? ceptable manner. Decidedly correct in phraseology, her paper showed the devotion of untiring application in its preparation. Miss Farthing was the recipient of a lovely bouquet of roses. A selection by the orchestra was fol? lowed by the reading of an essay by Miss Mary Ellen O'Donnell, one of the four graduates. "Nature" was Mi3a O'Donnell's theni'e; and hardly could the subject been better treated. In pre? paring her essay Miss O'Donnell was certainly particular, and her well-con? ceived ideas appeared last night draped in graceful verbage, and its smoothness of ilow was thoroughly harmonious with the poetic theme upon which Miss O'Donnell chose to write. Hon. T. T. Powell then delivered to the graduates?Misses Vivian Charles Binns, Mary Ellen O'Donnell and Rosa M. Morrison?the diplomas, which by their faithfulness they had won. Mr. Powell spoke briefly, drawing a likeness between the diplomas and the cap stone of a pyramid, as the diploma caps the days spent in hard and .dlli- gent study. Beautiful bouquets of flowers were delivered to the graduates. Mr. C. C. Berkeley In presenting to Miss Mary Ellen O'Donnell the medal for the highest general average, made a neat little two-minute speech. The Daily Commercial medal for I scholarship and faithful attendance was also captured by Miss O'Donnell, and was presented to her in a speech I full of advice by Mr. E. L. Walbridge. Mr. C. A. Ashby brought down the house by a thoroughly characteristic speech. Full of mirth and wit he kept the audience in a perpetual uproar or laughter as he made his remarks pre? senting to Miss Willie Powell the Ideal Pharmacy medal, in the necessitated j absence in Richmond of Mr. C. W. Rob- ttison. The medal offered by Mr. M. H. Lash was awarded to Miss Ellen Grey by Mr. C. C. Cox. The speaker explain- ed that the medal was won by general scholarship and attendance in the in? termediate department of the high j school. Mr. Cox spoke of his firm be- lief in the public school system, say? ing that if he had a dozen sons (and provided his wife was willing) he would bend them to the public school. Mr. C. A. Ashby in another happy j speech delivered to Mr. Herbert Llp? scomb a medal presented by Mr. D. G. Smith. In giving Mr. Lipscomb's av? erage in history Mr. Ashby declared Lhat the successful competitor could tell about every one "from Adam to Dewey," and he set the audience to shouting. Just prior to the commencement of the exercises a telegram was received from Mr. F. F. Causey, of Hampton, stating that owing to illness he would be unable to deliver the address of the evening. Mr. Powell made a few remarks In reference to the progress made in the schools during the past few years. He said that in the course of a few months the schools would be establish? ed in suitable quarters. To Miss Vivian Binns. Mr. Powell then turned and presented a watch and chain from her mother, as a token of her appreciation of the diligence In her studies during the past session. After music by the orchestra the ex? ercises were closed by a prayer offer? ed by Rev. E. T. Wellford, who re? turned thanks for the prosperous term just closed. He invoked TJivine blessing upon the public school system. "BEHOLD THE MAN." The baccaulaureate sermon to the cadets of the Newport News Military Academy was preached at the Chris? tian church Sunday evening by the pastor, Rev. W. R. Motley. The twenty-two cadets occupied the front seats in the centre of the church and listened to the .speaker with close attention. Mr. Motley chose as his subject the three words "Behold the Man," found in the latter part of the fifth verse of the nineteenth chapter of St. John. The speaker said In part: "I am extremely glad of the privilege of preaching the baccalaureate~sermon to the students of the military acad? emy.' There Is no class of people to whom I would rather preach than young men, than to none than college young men. "I am glad to call attention to some of the pitfalls that lie along the road of life, and to lead you up to a higher teacher." Mr. Motley referred to the studies (Continued from First Pa?e.) Mrs. M. D. Graves Painfully injured Sunday. TERRIFIED HORSE DOES IT Wiiile Plucking: Daisies, a Flower Snap*, Frightening the Animal. Wonder? ful Pluck of the Unfortunate Lady, guttering Intensely. On Sunday morning an accident oc? curred on Chestnut avenue which re? sulted in a most painful Injury to Mrs. M. D. Graves, and which very nearly proved fatal. Mrs. Graves came to this city some time ago from Cincinnati, where she had been engaged In a large dress? making establishment, on a visit, but after remaining here for a short while she determined that as there was a good opening In this city for a dress? maker's establishment she would re? main. Sunday morning, tired from the la? bors of the week, Mrs. Graves felt as though a drive would refresh her, and so she started out for a little spin. As she was not an accomplished horsewo? man, the gentleman at whose house she hau been boarding. No. 225 Twen? ty-fifth street, insisted upon accompa? nying her. As they were returning to the city, after a run on the Boulevard. Mrs. Graves was attracted by a large num? ber of daisies and wild flowers that were clustered along the roadside. They had reached Chestnut avenue when a particularly profuse abundance of the flowers caused her to express the desire to pluck some of them. Her com? panion offered to get the daisies for her, but she Insisted that she enjoyed pull? ing the flowers herself. The buggy wheel was accordingly turned and she alighted. As she did so she noticed a flower near the wheel and stooped to pluck it. As the blossom snapped from the stem there was a sharp report which frightened the horse attached to the buggy. Suddenly the animal made a kick backward and started on a run down Chestnut avenue, and when the gentleman returned to the spot wh?Pe he had left Mrs. Graves he was sur? prised to see that she had been Injured. Sve was placed in the vehicle and driven as rapidly as possible to her home and a wheelman who happened to be near was dispatched for Dr. J. Kennedy Corss. On the trip from the scene of the accident to her residence Mrs. Graves behaved with wonderful self-control, bearing the Intense suf? fering without so much as a groan. When Dr. Coras arrived he made an examination and discovered that the horse'shpof had done awful liavoc. Ovt r the lieft eye the wound commenced. In a downward direction the wound ex? tended, mashing the nose to a powder. The shape of the hoof was plainly left on Mrs. Graves' face, her left cheek bone being broken and a cut in the shape of a horse-shoe extends as far as the right eyebrow. When seen yesterday Dr. Corss said that Mrs. Graves, while she is not dan? gerously hurt, will be horribly disfigur? ed for life. Since her arrival In the city Mrs. Graves had been very successful In her business and the unfortunate accident which occurred Sunday will probably cause Mrs. Graves a severe financial loss, as well as intense bodily pain. Last night Mrs. Graves was suffer? ing greatly and there was apprehension of a fatal termination of the deplora? ble accident. Death of an Infant. The Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. McKeum died yesterday after? noon about 6 o'clock. The funeral will take place from the residence. No. 15820 Lafayette avenue, this morning at 10 o'clock. Interment will be made In Greenlavn cemetery. BLUE AND GRAY Unite in Decorating the Greaves of Those Who Pell in Battle. (By Telegraph.) MOBILE. ALA., May 30.?For the first time in local history there -was a general public participation In Decora? tion Day services at the National cem? etery. Hitherto the services were al? most wholly in charge of the colored militia and other soclties. although oc cassionally the Southern veterans have taken part. Today there was a union of sentiment and a testimonial of the appreciation of the people of the cour? tesy of General Coppinger, who, with his staff, attended the ceremonies last month by the Confederates. The cere? monies were Impressive throughout. Col. Jno. H. Page, of the Third in? fantry, made a patriotic address which was f?requently interrupted by cheer? ing. He said in part: "Today. In yonder growing camp amidst the pines of our sunny South, the new generation, the sons of veter? ans of the blue and the gray, stand side by side, and they will fight their coun? try's battle shoulder to shoulder undej our beautiful banner of liberty, and God grant they may never realize the terrible task that was left to their fathers by our fathers." BAGLEY'S GROVE DECORATED. (By Telegraph.) RALEIGH. N. C. May 30?Decora? tion Day was observed here in a man? ner absolutely unique. The ceremonies were held at the Na? tional cemetery, but a rain caused a change of part of the arrangements. The 1,500 graves were decorated with flags and a detachment of sixty men from the Second regiment of volun? teers, under command of Captain Macrae, fired a salute over the grave of Private Arthur Watson, of that reg? iment, who died In camp here Oast week. Colonel Charles F. Meserve, a Federal soldier, was the orator of the day, addressing an audience mainly composed of ex-Confederate soldiers. Colonel Meaerve dwelt upon the death of Ensign Worth Bagley and declared that it forever sealed the death of sec? tionalism. The ceremonies concluded at the cemetery, where the grave of Ensign Bagley was decorated with flags and flowers. NEWSPAPER MfeN ARRESTED. MADRID. May 30.-11 P.

Soldiers Break Comp and Board Transports, Officials Will Make li"Hot'! for Blanco. ANOTHER WAR COUNCIL President McKinley, Secretar? ies Long and Alger Go Over the Situation, (By Telegraph.) WASHINGTON, May 30.?The mili? tary invasion of Cuba has begun. Un? less the orders for War Department miscarried at an early hour this morn? ing the troops tUat have been gathered at the gulf ports began to break camp and march aboard the transports waiting to carry them to the enemy's territory. About twenty-five of-these ships, the biggest and fastest that could be obtained suitable for the pur? pose, had been gathered ready to re? ceive the troops. They will accommo? date about 30.000 men, for in a short voyage like that from one of the gulf ports to Cuba it is possible with safe? ty and comfort to carry a much larger number of men than would be admissi? ble In the case of a cruise to the Phil? ippines for instance. How many troops started this morning, where they took ship, and where they are bound are questions which the leading spirits of the campaign positively refuse to an? swer. They have no"-'desire that the Spanish should have opportunity af? forded them to gather forces to attac k our soldiers as thejfe land. Therefore nothing of the details of this first movement con be learned. There is a suspicion that the start will be made from Tampa and Mobile, and it is probable that in such-cane the. fleets of j transports will converge at Key West j to pass under convovs cf life warships which, Admiral Santtfsbii lias provided to ensure them against attack at the hands of some stray Spanish cruiser or gunboat. It is probable that there will be no less than four separate military expe? ditions and that these will be landed at four different points. Whether Porto j Rico is one of these points or not can hot be learned. Before the entire force which it is proposed to use In Cuba can be landed, the transports must make four separate voyages across the straits. Arrangements have been made to utilize the service of the insurgents to the greatest possible extent. The gov? ernment has already sent expeditions to a large number of points on the Is? land and landed arms for Insurgents. Most of these parties succeeded per? fectly in their object, and it was said at the War Department today that a sufficient number of the Insurgents j have been armed to constitute a very j effective support for the troops as they land. A war conference was held at the White House at 3 o'clock this afternoon between the President and his two war secretaries, Alger and Long, and Major General Miles, In command of the ar? my. Vice-President Hobart, who ac? companied the President to Arlington and returned with him to lunch, was present a part of the time, and Secre? tary Day, who had just returned to Washington, also dropping in during j the conference. After the entire situa? tion, naval and military, had been gone over, Secretary Long retired and Secretary Alger and General Miles n mained to discuss more in detail the military operations now about to put into execution as a result of the I definite official Information that the j Spanish squadron is securely held with .n Santiago harbor.

He also made known that at 1 o'clock this morning, immediately following the receipt of definite Infor? mation as to the presence of the Span? ish fleet at Santiago, he had gone to the War Department and had issued telegraphic orders putting the troops in motion, thus starting the movement forward of the military arm of the ser? vice. Further than this those attending the conference would not discuss their plans. It was said at the War Department that chief reliance would be placed at the outset on the United States regu? lars, most of whom are centered in Florida, and in such volunteer regi? ments as were,- thoroughly equipped and reasonably well seasoned for ser? vice. Although the officials will not state how many troops are available for immediate active service. It is roughly estimated that there are about 20,000 regulars and 13,000 volunteers at Tampa. The infantry force, regular and volunteers, is about 28,000 men, the cavalry about 4.000. the artillery about 1 200. How many of these have been or will be dispatched to any given point, or to several points. Is not dis? closed, and that is a part of the secret campaign plans of the governtnent. Back of this force are other available regiments at Mobile, New Orleans and other points easily accessible to Ta.m pa. Still further back is the large voiunteer camp at Chickamauga, com? prising about 40.000 infantry volunteers, 1 000 cavalry volunteers and three regi? ments of artillery volunteers. It isi un? derstood to be the plan-although as to this there is no precise official state? ment?to have the troops at Chicka? mauga to take the place of those at Florida ports as the latter leave for act? ive service, thus keeping a large force ready for embarkation from Florida, fled there are the 18,00 men at Camp Alger near Washington, and leaser bodies of troops on Long Island and ,In Aside from the troops already Bpeci various states. TO BREEZ?JJNFURLED Crowds Witness Flag Raising at Camp Warburton. DIXIE PUTS OUT TO TOSEAl Executive Officer Merrlan K.u<i? the Ar tlcli? of War. Likely That the Voso mite ami lief sinter Cruiser Will Leave These Waters. Long before the appointed hour for the ceremonies intending the flag raising at Camp Warburton yesterday afternoon hundreds of people had gath? ered to witness the spectacle. While the crowd was assembling the Phoebus Brass Band rendered a num? ber of patriotic selections. By 3:45 o'clock the concourse had readied sev? eral thousands, and from the parade ground came the merry notes of "ad? jutant's call." Promptly Lieutenant Cresswell, Battery A, who is the post adjutant, took his position on the pa? rade grounds opposite the camp and waited for the two batteries. Battery C, in command of Captain" Waters, occupied the right tiank, next to the music. With drawn sabres they presented a very soldiery appearance as they promptly alligned. Battery A, which is furnished with modern equipment, came onto the tleld with shea tiled revolvers, and were dressed on Battery C. Immediately Lieutenant Cresswell gave the command "present arms." and turning to Captain Warburton, turned over the command. Saluting, Captain Warburton faced Mr. R. G. Buckford. who stood nearby, and said: "The post is ready to receive the tiag. sir." Then the assembled mass strained their ears to catch every word of the rythmlc How of language which all present knew to be at Mr. Bickford's I command. But they were fooled. Bickford had no idea of making speech. Me was there to present the llag to Captain Warburton, and to hit: he addressed his remarks. Only once did he allow his words a view or confiding some secret to Cap- lain Warburton. Only once did he for? get himself and ullow his words to gather sufficient force to be heard. And those words were greeted with ap? plause, for this is what the crowd heard: "Tell your people that the southern breezes kissed the Hag just as lovingly, just as tenderly, as any." When Mr. Bickford had finished j speaking. Captain Warburton accepted the flag in the name of the camp, as? suring Mr. Bickford that it would al? ways be cherished by the officers and tuen of thectw'o batteries: 1 Captalr? Warburton then motioned the field music, and when the signal had been sounded by the bugler the post flag was slowly raised to the top of the flag pole, and, for a moment lying in graceful folds, was caught in the gentle breeze and proudly flaunted itself above the camp for the first time. Quartermaster Sergeant Ernest H. Crowhurst pulled the halyard which It was just 3:45 when the flag was raised. raised the flag. The two battery guidons were then presented by Mr. Bickford. "Upon the conclusion of Mr. Biekfbrd's remarks the batteries were dismissed, passing in review before the officers on their way to their quarters. Battery C indulged In a drill upon arriving at their street, using caps in their practice. The camp was thrown open to visitors and until the hour of "retreat" the artillerymen acted as most gracious hosts. The committee of twenty ladies were the guests of the officers and were entertained in their tents. The committee was composed of following ladles: esdames Fred Reed. A. W. Gilner, W. Caskey, Charles Swalne, W. T. Hopkins, W. K. Stowe. James F. Hughes. L. G. Riter. Raynor, M. J. Wolf, S. Murray. J. T. Moyer, R. E. Drew. R. M. Beetz, G. W. Steinmeyer.

After the presentation exercises were over Captain Warburton was introduc? ed to the ladies cornniitttee having the matter In hand, and made them a graceful little speech of thanks. The presentation committee was composed f Postmaster Fred Read, R. G. Bick? ford and City Sergeant E. W. Milstead. It is understood that part of the Phil? adelphia crowd went up home last j night over the N. Y. P. N. railraod, I the others remaining over night at Old Point. ON BOARD THE DIXIE. The United S.ates auxiliary cruiser Dixie, Commander Davis, weighed anchor at noon yesterday and made for the open sea for the purpose of testing her guns and engaging In target prac? tice. The order to sail was received by Commander Davis Sunday night, ami when its confents were made known to the naval officers and the Maryland naval reserves there was general re? joicing aboard the ship. The Yosemite's stay In Hampton Roads is also likely to be limited to a few hours now, it the Navy Depart? ment does not change the orders sent to Commander Emory yesterdav They were sealed orders; hence their nature cannot be learned, but it is pos? sible that she may go either north or south, in the latter event to assist in blockading the coast of Cuba. in fart, it is stated that all of the available warships In northern waters will be ordered to Cuban waters at the earliest possible date to Join the block? ading squadron. It is quite likely that the Dixie will follow the Yo.semtte in a few days or as soon as the result of her gun tests is satisfactory to the department. \s a preliminary the guns were gono over thoroughly Sunday. The six Inch guns were tested with the hove sight and were found to be absolutely correct This process consisted of put? ting a telescope sight inside the breach of the gun and a cross hair sight in the muzzle They were trained on a sta? tionary object and sighted first with the usual telescopic sight on the out? side of the gun and this sighting prov? ed with the sights in the guns bore.

Back of the flag of the Union itself is the cause of representative govern? ment itself, of home ru'le In matters pertaining alone to home, of law and of order as set forth and established by the constitution of states and of na? tions. The-Southern soldier presented a hostile front to the Union only when he. felt that the Union was hoatlte 10 these great causes and inalienable rights, these sacred apd reserved pre? rogatives of the sovereign states. It: was an unselfish war. It was a war for principle. No greed of conquest. no lust or power was* in the struggle. The seer-llke Patrick Henry saw the seeds of death sown in the constitu? tion of the Union Itself. The dreadfuH harvest was slow in ripening, but at last it came.and here before us today in beautiful Hrflloywood are the sad evi? dences of Its bloody fruition. The pow? er and foresight of no one man, nor set of men, could have averted it.

We may now talk of expediency, and while insisting upon the right of seces? sion, heve reserved the exercise of it to some future time, but the struggle would have been only the more dread? ful when it did come, and the glorious union, cemented by the blood of broth? ers In deadly strife, and made holy and untouchable by the sacrificial death of a sacred cause, lost forev. r, that It might live forever--this Un'ou would not no-v be the magnificent Im? perial leality that it is, but would b^ on t'.n- brink of hasm that ever yawnei wide- and wider as the nnli n grew In power and numbers. No, 'he struggle had to come. Eighteen hundred and sixty-one saw it upon us. For four years the war drum rol'led upon our troubled laud, and deed9 of valor and self-sacrifice were done that must have brought down Heaven's approving and teSSftsrest sympathy. At last a people's holy passion was stilled In the grave of ?ill their hopes and treasures. Appo mattox came and the noble Lee rode away from that fateful field to take up with his war-worn veterans the .vork of restoration. All the South brought home from that struggle were sacred memories. Would our brethren of the North rob us of these? Never, while one brave man respects another. A VOICE FROM OHIO. And Just here a recent utterance of St, Paul Captures a Collier Off Santiago. HAD FOLLOWFDTHE FLEET 1 3 Steamer ?oe? From Port to Port, Bat Pall? to Couuect With the Spaniards. The Skipper* Story of i he Trip. t. (By Telegraph.) KEY WEST, FLA., May 30.-Tho British steamer Restormel was brought y in here this morning, under her own^? steam by u prize crew. She was cap-??? lured by the auxiliary cruiser St. PauLv:?5 Ca).tain Slgsbee, while trying to put"^ into Santiago de Cuba with a cargo of coal. The steamer was bound from -i Cardiff to Porto Rico. As the Restor? ing came in the British ilag was Hying half way down her main mast. Sh? was leaking badly. Newspaper men were not permitted to approach within a hundred yards of her. The Hestormel was captured under "a the very biius of Morro Castle, at San-:' tiago de Cuba at 6 A. M. ou May 23.j M She carried 2.4?0 tons of best Welsh coal from Cardiff, presumably for Ad- Is miral Cervera's fleet. The St. Paul hud been lying off San- tiago de Cuba for six days, and early; last Wednesday morning the big col- Vi Her was sighted, making at full speed .C; for Santiago harbor. The St. Paul tired a blang shot and the Restormel came to four miles from the Santiago forts. The forts did not fire on the cruiser. A prize crew, under command of Lieu? tenant J. A. Patterson, was put ?a board and dispossessed the British of? ficers, who made no protest. Not a line was found among the ship's papers relative to the destination or consignee of the cargo. The Restor mel was headed at once for Key West. She was leaking badly when captured and is still In a serious condition. The Reatormel now lies In the harbor, near a wharf. The British Hag Is fly? ing at her stern. Marines patrol the prize and will allow no one aboard the the steamer. The members of the crew are not even allowed to take the news- '.7. papers offered them from launches that come alongside. When the Restormel left Santiago de Cuba, it was believed by those on the St. Paul and the other United ?States vessels, that the Spanish fleet w;as in- aide. In addition to the St. Paul there were five other fast naval scouts outside San- V tiago de Cuba, establishing ..a definite blockade in the sense that no .merchant vesselscare allowed to'"enter. The de-" pnr'tu're of Admiral Cervera's fleet would have instantly been reported. Lieutenant Patterson, the prize com? mander of the Restormel, made an ex? plicit statement to a representative of the Associated Presss this morning, saying the steamer hove to after the first shot. He added that the Spanish forts did not appear to notice the cap? ture. The lieutenant also said the Restormel Is uninjured and he has made the same statement to the Fed eial officials here. KEY WEST, May. .10.-7 P. M.?Ac? cording to Lieutenant J. A. Patterson, who is in command of the prize crew that brought in the Restormel, says her capture was a very commonplace af? fair. Lieutenant Patterson says: "'About !i o'clock Wednesday morning the St. Paul, scouting off Santiago har? bor, sighted the Restormel twelve miles a*way, apparently heading for the port. She was going In open and honestly and was not skulking along the shore. The St. Paul took a course to cut her off. and when within hailing distance, flred a blank shot. The pursued steam? er paid no attention, hut she hove to immediately when a solid shot was fired across her bows. "'About C o'clock 1 went out with a prize crew and took possession with? out protest. The captain talked frank? ly, saying that he was bound for San? tiago, though he had sailed from Car? diff on April 21st for San Juan. This was before the declaration of war. At San Juan he wu ordered to proceed to Curacoa. and from the latter place to Santiago de Cuba. "There never was any possibility of her escaping from the St. Paul, as her best speed was only eight knots. She was leaking badly and her boilera-wo? out of order according to her enptaln's account she had been leaking for twenty days because of a 3prung plate and the leakage was increasing. "The capture was made less than four miles from Morro Castle, but the forts were silent and perhaps asleep like the San Juan fortifications when Admiral Sampson began his attack. The only exciting part of the adven? ture came after we left Santiago for Key West. The prize leaked constant? ly and all hands manned the three pumps night and day?crew, marines and officers. "I have not taken off my shoes or been in bed since we started, five days ago. At times we were about to give up hopes of keeping the Restormel from sinking. Afterward we thought of saving ourselves if she went down. We were all very glad when Key West was sighted. The story that there were Spanish oflicers on the ship is false, but there Is no resisting the conclusion that the Restormel's coal was intended for the Spanish fleet, for the captain told a perfectly straight forward story about his voyage." When the Restormel arrived here It was believed It would be necessary to beach her. to take out her coal on light? ers, then repair the leak and raise her, but later it was practically decided to tow her to the government dock and unload her cargo there. Interesting light is thrown on Admi? ral Cervera's plans by the log of the Restormel. She sailed from San Juan de Porto Rico, where the Spaniards expected to coal. San Juan being deem? ed unsafe, Curacao was selected, but the collier failed to connect with the fleet there and was ordered to Santiago. Owing to her leak she did not reach Santiago; the Spaniards remained in port short of coal and were 30 caught. SPANISH FLEET TIEB- UP.

Men who are intensely interest? ed in the moral and religious progress and who realize that both of these helpful and hope-inspiring conditions are trudging along in the back ground while their opposites are spreading themselves like green bay trees, are at this very hour sowing the seed that in a few weeks, or months at most, will yield a wonderful harvest. These men do not proclaim Hampton to be a town in which high-handed evil exists, for that would not be true. Indeed, there is not a city in the State with a larger proportion of zealous and fearless Christian men and women. But they have resolved to cry out against the multitude of insidious evils by which the young of both sexes are lured into dangerous paths, and they do, wear? ing, as they do, the garb of apparent innocence, deceive people of mature years and thus neutralize the efforts of those who are devoting their time and talents to the promulgation of moral and religious truth. This, at least, is what is said and it is given to the read? ers of the Daily Press as news; just as any other matter of local Interest would be laid before them. Two sermons were preached here on Sunday which bear unerring testimony to the facts as above set forth. The first came from the heart as well as the lips of the Rev. Dr. Woodfin. It was a profoundly thoughtful discourse and dealt with the shortcomings of Chris? tian people with reference to the duty of boldly speaking for Christ. The words of David, written in the 4Gth verse of the 119th Psalm, furnished the text: "I will speak of they testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed." To present a clear synopsis of Dr. Woodfin's discourse would re? quire at least a column and a half in the Daily Press. It was a fervent, forceful, truthful presentation of facts which had been painfully impressed upon the mind of the able divine, the knowledge of which he could not as a faithful ambassador of Christ eoncea' from his people. Had they spoken, like David, of the testimonies of God? The test of Christian character lies in the work it does. The truly converted man cannot hide the fact from the world. He will let those around him know that he is a child of God. He will speak out to all men, regardless of their condition or station?he will be bold, courageous, fearless. He will suffer no compromise with evil, he will not hesitate to make any sacrifice, he will not ashamed. At night the Rev. G. H. Lambeth, pastor of the West End Methodist church, addressed a large congregation on summer pleasures. The eloquent young minister threw his whole soul into the sermon. He spoke as one having authority as. one by one, he took up the dangerous amusements young people are wont to engage. The pernicious influences of convivical as? sociations, by which so many promis? ing hoys are entrapped and finally hopelessly manacled, the dance, the seaside resorts of bad repute with their numberless cunningly devised amuse? ments for erasing the touches of love that flow from the sacked altar of home, were held up in the plain light of Christian truth. The minister spoke of the vows assumed by his people when they entered the church?remind? ed them that they had pledged them slves to abstain from the wicked pleasure* of which he had spoken. The requirements of the Methodist church could not be mistaken. They were made plain to every applicant for ad? mission and it grieved him to be com? pelled to say that there are many who have volated their solemn promises to Almighty God. WHERE "FIGHTING BOB" LIVES. Description of the Homes of Captains Evans and Taylor. Nothing under the grim ramparts of Fort Monroe, with the great stone lighthouse standing hard by as if it were a sentinel placed there to give warning of impending danger to the family of one of America's most distin? guished naval heroes, stands the hous.. of "Fighting Bob" Evans. Less than half a mile to the rear of the cottage the big disappearing guns, which, in the event of a visit from Spanish war? ships, are expected to do dreadful ex? ecution, lie concealed behind massive embankments of earth and thick walls of granite, while but a short distance above, with their gaping muzzles pointed seaward, are ranged the bat? tery of ponderous mortars set up since the war began. Immediately at the front o fthe house is now being placed in position one of the late additions In the way of death-dealing engines. Far away in the hazy distance the blue line of the ocean catches the eye, while to the right roll the historic waters of Hampton Roads, and to the left lies the broad expanse of Chesapeake Bay. Five minutes' walk down the beach are the big hotels at Old Point. In the midst of the surroundings Ohe wife and daughters of the Iowa's fearless com? mander live in perfect peace and con? tentment, apparently as happy as if the head of the household %vere with them and yet fully realzing that his valor in his country's cause may cost him his life. The ihouse Is a plain wooden struct? ure. A stranger traversing the beach would give it but passing notice. It has been there many a year and if Fighting Bob makes good a recent ut? terance attributed to htm it will still be there when the popular language of a.ftery world beyond the etyx has been changed to epigramatlc Spanish. It Is two stories high, the lower floor being flanked on the sides by a glass inclos? ed veranda, within which all through the winter season bloom flagrant plants tenderly cared for by the ladies. Pictures of the Indiana and other craft adorn the walls and add an air of cheerfulness which strongly appeals to those who are fortunate enough to be numbered among Ohe friends of the family. Captain Evans is noted as having sprung: from a family of fighters, or, to put it better, patriots. The same re? mark appeals to the Taylors, distin? guished In army and navy circles. It Is hardly necessary to refer to Captain Evans' career, for there is scarcely a school boy in all the land to whom his name is not familiar. A veteran, he knows what it is to fight, and the cour? age which ihas made him famous is of that character which marks the man who offers his life to his country from a source of patriotic duty?because he believes in liberty and Justice. As i3 always the case with those whose hon? ors are born of sterling merit, both Ohe Evanses and Taylors are reticent fo'k when asked to converse concerning family affairs. No one could be more charming and poiite than Mrs. Evans and her attractive daughters. No one could talk more entertainingly upon the leading topics of the day, and especially, in a general way. about the war of 1SS8, than they. Hut there they draw title line. Captain Harry Taylor, who succeed? ed Captain Evans In command of the battleship Indiana, is one of the most highly esteemed men In the navy. In many respects he is like Fighting Bob. His brother. Captain Morgan Taylor, Is now in command of the government arsenal at Augusta, Ga. Captain Frank Taylor distinguished himself as a member of the First artillery, better known as the Fighting First, and Ma? jor Taylor, who died at Vancouver. Wash., twelve years ago, left behind him a record made in forty pitched battles. Five years ago Captain Frank Taylor assisted in the restoration of peace in the Caroline Islands, where he went on the V. S. S. Alliance. Both the Evanses and the Taylors were noted for their achievements at college, nearly ail of them graduating several months in advance of their as? sociates. Mrs. Evans is in excellent health. After seeing her and hearing her talk one does not wonder at the cheerful disposition of her children. A lady of queenly bearing, of the high? est order of intellectual attainments, she possesses that quality, so rarely met with among noted people, of meas? uring those around her by Oiieir worth. And her daughters are like her. Mrs. C. C. Marsh, whose husband is now secretary to Admiral Sampson, her sister. Miss Evans, and Miss Tay? lor, who were seen yesterday afternoon at the cottage, are taking a special course In the misses' training school at Dixie Hospital, preparatory to serving their country in caring for those who fall In title war with Spain. They do not expect to leave home, but will hold themselves in readiness to respond to any call that may be made upon them for their services. Those who have seen them and know them will agree that their presence at the cots of the wounded will be worth more than med? icines in restoring the suffering to health and strength. Every day, in sunshine and sturm, these three ladies may be seen making their way to the hospitafjj^here they patiently apply themselves to the good work they Qiave essayed for several years. THE NEW ELECTRIC LINE. Mr. Payne Says It Will Be Built With? out Delay. The work of making the final sur? veys for the Newport News and Old Point Electric Railway Company be ?an yesterday morning aha will be rapidly pushed to completion. Major E. A. Semple, who, much to the gratifica? tion of the people of this city, has been employed as engineer on the new 1 ne iccompanied Mr. Payne and other gen? tlemen over the route Saturday. While here Mr. Payne stated in the most positive terms that the war would not in the least retard the construction jf the new line. Orders for material ire being placed with firms which can ue depended upon to make early deliv? eries, and other steps are being taken :o insure the speedy completion of the -oad. As matters now stand, no trou? ble is looked for in locating the route, vhich will follow the beach for almost the entire distance between Hampton ind Newport News. After leaving Twenty-fifth street In Newport News :he course will be as straight as an ar ow to La Salle avenue, a broad ihoroughfare connecting Hampton ivith the boulevard. Then, after tra? versing the avenue for a short dis? tance, the road will bear slightly to the left until It reaches the highway eadlng to Newport New?, which It will follow to the head of Holt street. The route will then be along Holt itreet to Melrose avenue, at the foot it which a bridge will span the north ivest branch of Hampton Creek to a aolnt near the residence of Mr. F. S. jollier. From there on it will be as leretofore given. The company has been somewhat de ayed by the Newport News bridge ?nuddle, but even this, Mr. Payne says, will not interfere much longer with heir plans. The positive statement is riade that the necessary funds to build ind equip the line have been secured. >Jo trouble with respect to the right of ivay is anticipated. The idea of the iompany, Mr. Payne says, is to make he roadbed wide enough for a double rack, with a drive way on either side, n-hich will be lined wiith shade trees. SUNDAY AT BUCK ROE. The Warm Day Made the Resort a Lively Place. Mr. Darling's swift and comfortable ?ars were much in demand Sunday af? ternoon, large numbers of people going to Buckroe Beach to quaff the fresh air from the ocean and incidentally to hear what the wild waves were saying. That they enjoyed themselves goes without saying, for a more pleasant place and one conducted with more painstaking regard for Sabbath day decorums 1? not to be found in the South. Silting under the roof of the spacious pavil lion and looking out over tiie lazy wa etrs of the bay, sparkling in the bright sunshine, toward the blue outline of the sea, marked here and there with the white sails of the passing ships, is a pastime made doubly delightful when Old Sol turns his scorching rays upon the earth. That is what visitors to Buckroe did on Sunday. Mr. Darting has made many Im? provements at the Beach since the close of last year's season. The pavillion has been extended sixty feet toward the water and has been provid? ed with seats and tables for picnic par? ties. This addition will be greatly ap? preciated by Sunday school and church excursions, as it affords ample room for lunching, one of the most attrct ive'features of outing parties made up largely of little folks. Thirty-odd new rooms have been added to the hotel, which is in charge of Mr. Charles H. Hewins, who entered upon his duties as manager two weeks ago with all the ease and grace of a veteran. The bulk? head washed out by the heavy storms some months ago has been replaced at an expense of $f>,600 and the block is now secure against further attacks from the sea during the tempestuous winter months. An improvement which has afforded guests at the hotel much pleasure is the veranda running along the second story of the recently con struced portion of the building:. A i:ifixinCveni view of the p?? and at ?ho foaming shore-llitc stretching away to? ward Old Point may b? had from this porch. Mr. William H. Hamilton. of this city. Is chief of the autograph depart? ment. HE WANTED A HORSB. But People Called With Houses to Sell. A few dj?ys ago Mr. J. B. Brit ting ham. the head of the Hampton Furni? ture Company, lost ti valuable horse. Being a gentleman who views misfor? tunes through a philosopher's glasses he declined to worry over his loss, hut straightway?as all wise men do wren they want to catch the eye of the pub lh?proceeded to insert an advertise? ment in the Dally Press announcing his desire to purchase another animal. Next morning, however, when he pick? ed up his Dally Press he read that he wanted a house instead of a horse. It appears that at the same time that Mr. Brittingham was thinking, if not actually saying, hard things about printers and printing machines, all the people In 1 lampion who had houses for sale were perusing his advertisement. Hence, when he arrived at the store he found several real estate men there ahead of him, each with just the house that he wanted. To each of his calWrs the mistake was explained, and Mr. Brittingham. with his usual good na? ture, proceeded with the day's duties But before noon his smiles began to be disbursed on the Installment plan. He had been offered houses enough to build a town of a thousand people, and some of his callers had agreed to lake part pay In furniture. Mr. Brittingham has since secured a horse, but not until scores of people had been set to wondering whether he intended moving his furniture store or starting a new one. Thus does the ap patently unimportant and obscurdkud vertisement do Its work. BRIEF ITEMS. Mr. 1.. R.

There is no panic at Manila. The Spaniards are working upon the fortifications, but their guns arc old and uselesss and they are short of am? munition. Rt-ar-Admlrnl Dewey has informed the authorities at Manila that he will hold them responsible for the life of the captain of the Spanish gunboat Ca Uno, captured by the United States fleet. The Spaniards have been threat? ening in shoot him for surrendering, although confronted by the whole American fleet. All the American ships are at Cavlte, In Manila Bay. Salt provisions are plentiful but fresh provisions are not obtainable. There is no sickness in the American fleet. In reply to the Spanish attempt to win over Aguinaldo's men, the insur? gents are said to have informed the Spaniards that they were neutral and will await events. The Spanish gunboat El Cano, which captured the American hark Snranae. [leaded with coal and owned by William Simpson, Jr.. of New York, has left Hollo and gone to the Samoangan river.

This sentence furnished the llietl.o for the baccalaureate sermon preached to the young holies of the Newport News Female Seminary by Rev. A. B. Woodtln, 1?. D? of Hampton, at the Newport News Baptist cnurch Sunday night, lie said in part: 'Buy the truth.' No juice is put upon it. it is the one indispensable thing thai must bo had at any cost. It is tin- invaluable pearl which must lie purchased, if need be. bv the sale of all things else. '?Let us study together this Inspired injunction, it is evident that when the writ*-!' says 'buy the truth' he duos not ni.:.u simply lie truthful In the sense of veracity. The Scriptures commend and command truth speak? ing in very emphatic terms. They have some dreadful things to say about those who do not speak the irulli. Kor example. 'All liars.' whether I hoy have spoken white lies or black lies, 'shall have their portion in tile lake that burns with lire and brimstone.' The w riter is not enjoin? ing truth telling, i.o mallei Inn. mi portant it may be. "There is a wide difference between mere veracity ami the truth. A good definition of the two has be n given as follows: 'Veracity Is the correspond? ence of the proposition of ones belief. Truth is the correspondent.f the proposition of fact, or reality.' Truth, then, is th?' reality of things. "Arc we exhorted then. to under? stand all knowledge: to explore all the various realms (it truth? r think not. Undoubtedly that would be good and profitable to us. If possible. Undoubt? edly also it would be onlv to e.oiitlrm our" faith in what is ailed revealed truth. There Is a good deal of talk now about the conllicl between scien? tific truth and revealed truth. There is no conflict there can he no conflict. Tin' same Cod Is author of nature nntl of revelation. 'Cod Is light, and In him is no darkness at all.' It is just as Im? possible for one truth to eonilict with another as that one planet of nur solar system should collide with another. "Some of you young ladies, perhaps, have read that old mythological story about certain virgins who went up and down the earth seeking the scattered parts of the dismembered bej*' of (islris. their god.
