Elsewhere we give accounts of the battles fought since our last issue. This morning's dailies (Wednesday) give no news horn Bswey, nothing oi the whereabouts of Sampson's squadron, Schley's squadron, or the Spanish fleet, It has been rumored that the Spanish fleet is near Venezuela, but nothing is definite about it. It is thought that perhaps the fleets will meet soon in a decisive engage- rnent. BURIED WITH MILITARY HON ORS. WAR NEWS. Gathered Since Ocr last Issue. Baleigh has never seen such a funer al as was held over the remains o Ensign Worth Bagley Monday. The remains of the gallant young officer were brought to Raleigh Monday, and the most of the day was consumed in paying honors to the young brave in some way, and towards evening twi light the last salute was fired at the grave and the body was left to rest until the resurrection morn, while the. spirit had gone to its good reward. AGREES WITH THE WEALTH. COMMON- This paper did not believe in fusion with any political party two years ago has never believed in fusion at all. Recently we have emphatically stated that the Democratic party North Carolina does not want fusion, and we believe such action by the party would be hurtful to its best interests. Mr. Thos. S. Nbrfleet, one of oar best Bertie subscribers, in renewing his subscription, writes as follows : Deak Sir : Enclosed please find check on Scotland Neck Bank to renew my subscription to your paper. Per mit me to say that I folly endorse your positiou on the question of fusion be tween Democrats and Populists, and as one of tne gold Democrats spoken of by Mr. Claude Kitchin I hereby vouch for mysell and all the' gold Democrats I know to vote for any and every Demo crat on a straight ticket, let his views on silver be what they may. I remain yours for.Democratic success, Thos. S. Norfleet. LIBERA L RE SOL UTIONS. lhe bcotlana iNeck Democratic pri mary Convention last Fridaj passed the following resolutions, offered by Claude Kitchin, Esq : We, the Democrats of Scotland Neck Township, in convention assembled, do declare that we are opposed to fusion or co-operation with any other party, holding itself off as a distinct political organization, because we believe that it would weaken our own organization and strengthen such other party, plac ingit in a position in the future to force us to accede to the demands ot its lead ers or to ally itself with our political adversaries, thereby hindering the tnumpn ana perpetuatiou ot our own principles. But we do cordially invite, with open baud and heart, all white men - in this township, regardless of past party affi . nations, who earnestly and sincerely oppose negroism and republicanism and fayor a clean, honest government by clean, honest white men, to join our ranks and be ot us and with ns in a common fight to redeem the State and County from the incompe tent, spoils-hunting, corrupt and scan dal breeding party now in power. We do hereby make all such white men in the townenip, regardless of past party affiliations, delegates to our com ing county convention, each delegate having the right to vote his proport ionate part of the number present to the total number of delegates to which this township is entitled. WHITE RENOMINATED The Republicans of the Second Dis trict held Congressional Convention at Warrenton last week and renominated Congressman Georgo H. White by ac clamation. It was reported as being quite a har monious convention, perhaps mere so than any convention the Republicans have held in the District for many years. POPULIST STATE CONVENTION. The Populist State Convention met In Raleigh Tuesday. Ihey had con siderable wrangling and division, but we have no news as to what was the result of this convention.

The fnllmvinff is a n-irtial account of the . - -- hatt'ft ; On Board The Flagshsp Iowa, Utt San Juan De Porto Rico, May 12, via St. Thoma?. Danish West Indes, May 13. The forts of San Juan de rorto Rion wfirp bombarded by part o! Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet this morning Tho eipmv's loss is believed to be beavy. The American loss is two men billed and seven iniured. After three hours firing the Admiral withdrew the fleet and headed for Key West, he said : "I am satisfied with the morning s wnrt. T could have taken-San Juan, but I have no force to hold it. I only wanted to administer punishment, Thk hna hpfin done. I came for the Snnn ish flRet and not San Juan." Tha nre Seaman Frank Wide- mark of the New York ; gunner's mato of the Amphitnte. The latter liort fmm the effects oi the extreme heat. OI the iniured men three were on thr. Invest nnd fDiir on the Jsevv York.- The names ot those sngnuy iniured on the Iowa are Seaman Mitch ell, Private Marine Merkle, Apprentice TTdi Thom urwlon the iew iorn ore Seaman Samuel Feltman, seriously Afiphflel Murohv. and two oth er enlisted men, slightly injured. All the above named were injured bv the burstms of a shell on the New Vnrl- This is a comolete list of the killed and wounded. The encasement began at t :lo a. rn onrl nnrtArt at 8 Tbe enemy s bat- tprifla were not silenced. The town in the rear of the fortifications probab ly suffered. The shins takmsr cart in the action vere the Iowa, Indiana, New York, Ter ror, Am phi trite, Detroit, Montgomery, Wampatuck and Porter, lhe enemy s firing was heavy but wild, ana tne Iowa and New York were probably the only ships hit. They went right up under the big guns in coiumn, aemei- i-i i . 1 i 1 inr broadsides ana men leunucu. The line passed thrice in front of the forts, pouring tons of steel on shore. Tt. is imnossib e to Midze tne amount of damage done to the buildings -ira forts. Thev appe.ued to bo riddled with shot ; but the Spaniards, were plucky. The after turret of the Am phittite got out of order temporarily during the engagement, but she banged awav with her forward guns. Alter the firist passage before the forts the Detroit and the Montgomery retired, their guns being too small to do much ! damage. The Porter and V ampatuck also stayed out of range. The smoke hung over everything, spoiling the aim of the gunners and making it impossible to tell where our shots struck. The officers and men of all tbe ships behaved with coolness and bravery. The shots flew thick and fast over our ships. The men of the Iowa were injured bv splinters thrown by -an eight-inch shell which came through a boat into the superstructure and scattered frag ments in all directions. The shot's i ii course was hnauy enaea on an iron plate an inch thick. Merkle (Murtel) was struck in the arm and may lose it. All were hurt by splinters and a fire was started in the boat, but it was quickly extinguished. Morro batten', on the eastward arm of the harbor, was the principal point of attack. Rear Amiral Sampson and Captain Evans were on the lower bridge of the Iowa and had a narrow escape from splinters, which iniured three men. The Iowa was .hit eight times, but the shells made no impress iod on her armor. The weather was i fine, but the heavy swells made accur ate aim difficult. The broadsides from the Iowa and Indiana rumbled in the hills ashore five minutes after they were delivered. - Clouds of dust showed where they struck. At 3 o clock in the morning all hands were called on the Iowa, a few fina' touches in clearing ship were made and at 5 "cenerai Quarters sounded. Tbe men were eager to fight. The tug Wampatuck went ahead and anchored her small boat in ten fath oms, but there was not a sign of life from the fort, which stood boldly against- the sky on the eastern bills hiding the town. Tbe Detroit steamed far to the east ward, opposite Vallern." The Iowa headed straight for the shore. Sudden ly her helm flew over, bringing thg the starboard battery to bear on the fortifications. At o :16 a. m, the Iowa s forward 12-inch guns thundered out at the sleeping hills,and for fourteen min utes she poured starboard broadsides on the coast. Meanwhile thelndiana, the New York and other ships repeated the dose from the rear. The Iowa turned and came back to the Wampatuck's boat and again led the column, the forts replying fiercely and concentrat ing on tbe Detroit, which was about seven hundred yards away, all the bat teries on the eastwaad arm of the har bor. Thrice the column passed from the entrance of the harbor to' the ex treme eastward battery. Utter indiffer ence was shbtvn to the enemy's fire. The wounded were quickly attended, the blood was washed away and every thing proceeded like target practice. At 7 :45 A. M. Admiral Sampson signalled : "Cease firing." "Retire," was sounded on tbe Iowa and she head ed from the shore. The Terror was the last ship in the line, and, failing to see the sigual, banged away alone for half an hour, the concert ol shore guns roaring at her and the water fly ing around her from the exploded shells. But she possesed a charmed life and reluctantly retired at 8.15. As at Matanzas the ' unsatisfactory condition, the smoke and the distance preyented any important conclusions being drawn. The town of San Juan must have suffered, although protected by the hills, as the high shots must haye reached it. No traces of the bombardment were discernable on the forts except small fires, which were ap narentlv extinguished before the fleet left. - Also the following gave account of a battle at Cientuegos : Kev West. Fla., May 14. Tbe Uni ted States cruiser Marblehead, the gun boat Nashville and the auxiliary cruiser Windom steamed up to tbe harbor oi Cienfuegos early Wednesday morning with orders to cut the cable connecting TTavann TV ith Santiago de Cuba. This task was accomplished, but only after a terrific fight between our warsnips and several thousand Spanish troops which lined the shore and lay conceal ed behind improvised breastworks. One man. a seaman named Keagan, ot ine Marblehead, was killed in one of the working small boats, and six men were severely wounded. In addition, a large number on board the ship receivea minor wounds. Captain S. E. Maguire heavy roar of a great gun came like a deep diapason of an organ on the high treble of the smaller guns. It was from one of the twelve-Inch Krupps mounted there and an 850-pound pro jectile plunged into the water half a mile inside of the American line, throwing up a tower of white spray. It richochetted and struck again half a mile outside. The mask was now off. Maddened by the failure of their plot the Span iards continued to fire at intervals of about ten minutes. In all thirteen shots were fired, but not one struck within 200 yards of one of our ships.

When the commanders of the Mar blehead and the Nashville called for volunteers to man the boats and cut the cable, the men responded with a jump. Lieutenant C. McR. Winslow, of the Nashville, took command of the Nashville's boats. CUTTING THE CABLE. The shore surrounding the entrance of the harbor was first shelled and then the boats proceeded in. The work of finding the cable was slowly and cau tiouslv proceeded with. The cable was dfipn in the channel and found with difficulty. One of tbe relays ot the cable had been cut when tbe Spaniards opened fire. The marines in the boat replied at once and a machine, gun from the forward launch sent in a stream of bul lets, while heavy shells from the war ship drove the Spaniards from the rifle t.its at the shore, many of tbem seeking refuge in the lighthouse fort, which was afterwards torn to pieces by a sheH from tbe Windom. As, theie were numbers of Spaniards "in and behind the fort at the time, there is no doubt that many of tnem were killed. With desperate courage the Ameri can sailors remained calmly at their posts and succeeded in dragging up the second relay oi the cabie and sever ing it. Seven men badly wounded, was the count, and on8 of them, Reagan, died while on the way back to the ship. Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the hand and a number of others were more or less injured. On the Nashyille, Captain Maynard was standing forward, with an ensign, when a Spanish bullet passed through the ensign's shoulder and struct? May nard on the chest, near the heart, wounding him only slightly. The Marblehead was strucu scores of times by bullets Jrom machine guns, and the Nashville suffered to about the same extent. The Windom also had many marks of the fray. Her shell, blowing up the lighthouse and scatter ing the Spaniards in all directions, ended the battle. From the action of the Krupp guns it is evident the Spaniards have no cordite and are using ordinary cocoa powder. NEWS FKOM DEWEY.

ANOTHER BATTLE. off Ha- There was an engagement vaua Sat urday : , Key West, Fla., May 15. (On board the Associated Press dispatch boat Kate Spencer, off Havana, May 14, 8 p. m. Captain-General Blanco, two hours before sundown tonight, attempt ed to execute a ruse, which, it success ful, would have cleared the frbnt oJ Havana of six ships on that blockading station. Unable to come out to do battle he adopted the tactics of the spider and cunningly planned to draw tbe prey into his net, but though a clever and pretty scheme, as an original prop osition, it was practically a repetition of the trick by which the gunboat Vicksburg and the little converted rev enue cutter Morrill were last week de coyed by a fishing smack under the big Krupp guns of Santa Clara batteries. TWO SPASTSH WARSHIPS. Late this afternoon the ships on the Havana station were dumbfounded to see two ships steam out of Havana har bor and beaded east. Dense smoke was streaming like black ribbons from their stacks and a glanpe showed that they were under a full head of steam. By aid of glasses Commander Lilly, of the Mayflower, which was flying the pennant, made out the larger vessel of the two, which was about 200 feet long and 4,500 tons displacement, to be the cruiser Alphonso XII, and the smaller one to be the gunboat Legazpi, both of which were known to be bottled up m Havana harbor. At first he supposed that they were taking adyantage of the absence oi t he heavy fight ing ships and were making a bona-fide run for the open eea, as superior omcer, he im mediately signalled t he other ships on the station, the Vicksburg, Annapolis, Wasp, Tecumseh and Osceola, which were moving in to form a column en echelon, with gunboats on the right flank. The little squadron moved in obliquely toward tbe fleeing Spaniards, keeping up a running fire as they went. Tbe Alphonso and her consort circled in shore, about five miles below Ha vana, and after running in for half a mile headed back for Morro Castle. Our gunboats and other thin-skinned vessels of tbe mosquito fleet did not follow in." The Associated Press dispatch boat Kate Spencer witnessed tbe action, which lasted ovei an hour. As a spec tacle, the greatest master of stage craft could not have evolved a finer setting. BATTERIES OPES FIRE. (Correspondence to The Commonwealth.!. Roanoke Rapids, N.
