From a Dhawis. wv C'aki.tox T. Chapman in IATUEKS WFEKF.V.

Mr. Carlton T. Chapman, special correspondent of Harper's Weekly with Admiral Sampson's fleet, thus describes an incident of the Cuban blockade, of which we publish an illustration today: "On Friday afternoon the New York, accompanied by the torpedo-boats Porter and Ericsson, left the Havana station and went off Marie, twenty-four miles west of Havana, w here the Castine is keeping guard over two small Spanish eunboats. There was an intention of bombarding: the place, but we were disappointed, as nothing occurred, and the New York and the torpedo boats went on as far as Cabanas, off which place we arr ved about six o'clock. The New York a little in advance, with the two torpedo-boats lying near, was fired on by acoa-t guard of cavalry. The shots did no harm, however, and were answered in a minute by a puff of pink smoke from the New York's port battry, followed in quick succession by twelve 6hota from her 4 inch guns, wiien the cavalry disappeared, but come back again as the New York moved off, when she again opened fire with an S-inch gun, the last twD shots being aimed by Captain Chad wick himself, and all struck fairly in the midst of the troopers, tho last shot sending a groap of them flying in seventeen directions."

BLOODY BATTLE Fought in the Harbor. Cardenas Four Americans Killed Several Wouuded. and American Gunboat Di-.abled. Winslow Kky West, Florida, May 10. Yesterday at 1 p m. there was an engagement off Cardenas, Cuba. The Wilmington, the torpedo boat Winslow and the auxiliary gnnboat Hudson were engaged. The gunboat Hudson arrived with the bodies of Ensign W. Bagley and four others of the crew of the Winslo-v killed in the engagement. Captain Bernardson of the Winslow was also on the Hudson slightly wounded in the leg. Several others of the Winslow's crew, slightly wounded, were aboard. The dead of the crew are John Varuol, oiler; Josiah Tunnell, cabin cook; J. V. Meeks, fireman; J. Daniel, fireman. Our vessels entered the harbor and encountered tbe attack of a Span ish gunboat and land batteries, supported by Spanish gunboats. The engagement lasted an hour. The Spanish fire was coucentrated on the Winslow. A solid shot pierced her boiler and left her helpless. As the Hudson was throwing her a line a shell exploded on the Winslow, killing the ensign and four of the crew. The Hudson succeeded in getting the line aboard and was towing the Winslow away when the line parted and both vessels were again at the mercy of the Spanish fire. The Hudson managed to get another line to the Winslow when there were only three men on deck to faster, it. The Winslow was towed to Pedras island where she was anchored, and the dead and wounded were removed. Commander Bernardson was wounded in the left leg, but not seriously. He said he went into the harbor under or ders. The Spanish boats tied up at the .l,tfk had fair range. The shell which killed the men exploded in their faces. The Winslow is a steel armored tor redo boat carrying three 1-pounders and three torpedo tubes and a crew of twenty men.

OFF CABANAS, APML 29. C.pvril., 19 ly Harir & BrotbePV Bulletin Service. t: The Palladium had its bulletins out today ahead of all others in the city, and the first intimation the people had of the battle off Cardenas, was obtained from the bulletins in front of this office. The expressions of, the crowd were entirely different from those that were heard when the bulletins of the Dewey victory were posted. Most of those who read the bulletins today looked solemn and walked away silently without a word of comment. The oliei persons would tak off their cltatiA wipe mem oarer uily and replace tfietn in their cases as they went on with never a word to say. The effect of the news was depressing and left , a bad taste in the mouth. It was interesting to note the gradual change that came over the faces of the people as they read the bulletin regarding the killing of our sailors. G. A. R. State Encampment at Columbus, Ind.

The County School Board and of Its Recent Rulings. Some The date for the county institute this year is August 29 to September 2 The district schools will begin early this vear September 5th. the firEt Monday. The county board of education recently took action of an important na nure. It was decided that no change in wages would be made in the scale this year. The teaching of writing has been sadly neglected ir. the schools and the board is anxious that this should be remedied. A resolution was adopted providing that each teacher hold at least one writing exeicise each day. Another trouble has been in eonnec tion with raising money to pay the ex penses of the county institute and the uieetire of the county teachers asso ciation. Some of the teachers attend both meetings bat never enroll or as sist in paying the expenses. This will be done away with the coming year. The board pass ed a resolution providing that each trustee, when he contracts with a teacher, secure an agreement from him to pay $1.50 out of his wages to defray the expenses of the two meetings above named. The school boards of the towns will also be asked to co-operate in this. The teachers themselves had talked of this and meant to present the resolution to the board last fall, but did not.

UDIM AFFAIRS

Resuming of the Work ,f the Exeev. tlve Committee Meeting at Ear I ham Collage. At the yesterday afternoon session of the executive committee of Friends on Indian affairs quite a few things of interest were transacted. The tieasurer's report, Jonathan Steere, treasurer, was received, showing a balance on hand of $3 322.25 which is only to last until October. This ia very grati fying in the face of the fact that the committee four years ago had to face a deficit of $1,000. ' It was also decided to establish a new mission among the Otoe Indians in Oklahoma. While the committee further considered favorably the advisability of establishing a mission among the Absyntee Indians of southern Oklahoma.

Garrett; treasurer, Jonathan Steere; ch iirman of the committee on religious interest, John Nicholson. Last night the committee attended the prayer meeting of the student Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. The associated executive committee on Indian affairs of the Friends of America convened this morning at 8 o'clock at Earlham college. The rereports of the auditing committee and treasurer were heard and approved and showed the business affairs of the committee to be in a very gratifying condition.

It was decided to send a letter to Secretary Bliss, asking the retention oi Dr. W. N. Heilman, superintendent of the Indian schools, whos removal has beea asked by certain parties in the church.

It was indeed an amusing thing. Henry Winder, funny in any part, took the role of the Irish commedian, and was irresistably comical. He se cured an eneore. The cast was al) well selected. A paper was read bj Mrs. Sallie Mendenhall. The papei was written by Hannah P.

NO OWNER To be Found, Apparently for ths Souvenir Book Astray In the Malls. Some time ago there was returned to this eity a book, a copy of Dalbey's souvenir of Richmond, that had been sent to the address "Mrs. Burden, Bernleigh Lodge, Rose Hul, Plymouth, England. The book had gone to the dead letter office at Washington, after having made its trip to England and return and was opened and . sent back to this city. The postmaster looked through the book carefully to note if there was any marked picture or anything of the sort to assist in identifying the owner of the book, or rather the one who had ent it, but not a thing could be found. If the owner is in the city or anywhere else that this paper reaches, he or she would do well to call at the postoffice and ask Perry J. Freeman for the bock.

The people of the south tenth treet park vicinity are very anxious to see improvements made on that park, as they feel that their park has been neglected at the expense of the larger resort of Glen Miller. Mr. Genn will perhaps present the petition and ask that it be properly referred, rstir Mualo'Jn the Riohmond Sohoots.Q To tha Editor Richmond Palladium: My work in the schools during the year just closing has in most places been to me one of the most pleasant of my school experience. Some unpleasant things have hap pened unpleasant things always haptn with onfl ,iq a like position who tries to do his duty, but they bve been generally of shcrt duration. Little has been accomplished in the Sigh school; as a result of having no time in which to drill, occasionally a few minutes five or ten, may be had for rehearsal, and the zest with which he pupils enter into the singing, and he grade of music read at sight shows that the pupils can sing, and that they ove to sing, and I think it is unforrunate that they cannot have more time for such drill. I have never had more delightful ork than I have had this year in naost of the grades, and the enjoyment f the pupils is always shown by the billing spirit with which they take np he work. The progress made in the tbility to read music at sight has in nost plates been quite satisfactory. But notwithstanding this there are criticisms cf course, and they come to me something like this: 'Your man hood, scholarship, ability as a teacher, ievwtion to your work, etc. has never oeen questioned, vet thre are orj ac tions which seem to spy, you are not quite the man for Richmond." The demand seems to be for more than a successful school man. I do aot claim to be such a man, so will not oe an applicant for re-election, much s 1 regret leaving the children of the Richmond schools. J. T. Reese. Contract Not Let.
