Ralxiqh, Hay 10. The funeral pro
cession of Ensign Worth Bagley this
afternoon was the largest ever seen in
this city.
The cerenun'es were very imposing..
very handsome casket contained the
dead Ensign's body. It was borne upon
the shoulders of six soldiers. Flowers in
great profusion covered the casket.
Volleys were fired across the grave
when it was reached and the notes of
the bugle ended the sad ceremonies. The
imposing procession was led by Col.
Thos. 8. Keenan. .
The body of Ensign Bagley reached
the city early in the day. Contrary to
the first accounts the face was not dis
figured, but wore a smile. The funeral
exercises by order of the Secretary of
War were equal to those carried out in
honor of a Brigadier General of the
army.

Tliere is much discouragement at the
slowness by which the Second regiment
is recruiting. It seems almost impossi
ble to get enough men to form the regi
ment. The 1st, regiment is composed of
the cempanieg from the State Guard
recruited up to the required uum
ber.
There seems to be nothing definite as
to the moving of the regiment to Tampa.
Tho negro companies will probably go
to Fort Macon, off Beaufort, tomoi
row.
The man who was arrested as a Span-
lard and who was thought to have pois
oned the water supply of Camp Bryan
Grimes has been released. lie was a half
Indian. The water was chemically exam
ined, and pronounced pure.
Many of the soldiers in camp here have
contributed to the "Worth Bagley Mon
nment fund which has now reached $450
and subscripilions to the fund continue
to pass into the committee.
Raleigh has welcomed many large fun
erals, but never such a one as Ensign
B-tgley's this afternoon. It was a strict
ly military funeral. When the body
reached here It was met by a detachment
of soldiers and carried to the home of
his mother, where it remained until 1:8(
p, m , when It a was placed in the rotun
da of our beautiful Capital. At 4 o'clock
the casket was carried Into the Capital
square grounds, and placed on a cat
afalque in front of the big bronze statue
of Washington. The military were
grouped around the grounds and In long
lines far down the streets. The funeral
services were held by Her. Dr. Eugene
Daniel of the Presbyterian church,
sisted by all the other ministers of the
city. "Hark, Hark, my Soul," and "Just
a I am" with a solo "As from the voice
of an angel" sung by Mrs. Charles lie
Klmmon were the hymns sung at the
services. Then the long line of people
numbering thousands followed the young
hero to his last resting place and there
"Abide with me" followed by the last
verse of a hymn that Is used at the Naval
Academy at every service, was sung as
the grave was closed. A most beautiful
editorial on the young man was written
by JUr. w. it. unrlsteau, who for years
has made his home In Mrs. Bagley't fam
lly circle.
Senator Butler and Congressman Skin
ner are here on the field to prepare their
lines for directing the Populist conven
tion which meett here on the 24th.
Secretary of State has Just chartered
the Brown Bros. Company of Mitchell
Co. It is for the mining and handling
of mica.
The most severe storm that has been
seen here for more than 20 years passed
over the city last night. The lightning
and roll of the thunder was terrible from
0.110 up to It "o'clock. Many houses
were flooded, bridges washed away .but as
yet no serious damage Is reported. The
building at the Fair grounds where some
of the soldiers were quartered was struck
and some ot the men stunned lor quite
while. The rainfall was 8 Inches, several
barns In the city wero struck. Mall fell
in a blistering storm. In some rlacea In
the lowest part of the city people had to
swim to reach ground. This storm will
be remembered for years.

Special to Journal.
Washington, May 10 It is declared
that Spain has sent the rest of her war
vessels across the Atlantic to meet the
ships of America. The Spanish fleet that
has been lying at Cadiz is now coming
this way.
The Board of Strategy believes that
Admiral Sampson will have destroyed
the Cape Verde fleet before the Cadiz
fleet sailing nortli from Curacoa can
reach Cuban waters.
Between Two Firm.
How to capture or destroy the Spanish
fleet, now in the Caribbean sea is the
great war question of the hour. When
the Squadron has coaled it is thought
that it will proceed to some port on the
southern coast of Cuba.
The authorities believe that the men-
of-war on blockading duty in the vicini
ty of Cienfuegos are safe, and that, in
fact, they would like nothing better than
for the enemy's squadron to proceed in

bringing down upon them Commodore
Schley's fleet from the North, through
the Yucatan channel, while Sampson's
fleet would hasten along the southern
coast of Cuba, and the Spaniards would
be caught between two fires.
Harvar an Trrrar.
In view of (he announcement of the
French government that the Harvard,
twenty-four hours before the completion
of her repairs, must give notice of bor in
tention to depart, it Is presumed by naval
officials that similar action will be re
quired of the Terror's commander. Be
sides, in international law it is not per-
mlssable for a belligerent cruiser to
pursue a cruiser of the other belligerent
immediately on the latter leaving a neu
tral port. Before such pursuit twenty-
four hours must Intervene.
Fljloa- nqnadran.
A number of ships were sighted off
Sand Key, near the Southern end of
Florida late today. It Is thought that
they may be Schley's fleet. The fleet
left the vicinity of Charleston Sunday
night under order for Key West.

Fifteen thousand of the volunteer

The enlistment of men has been going
on rapidly at Camp Black. 3ome have
failed to come to tbe scratch. Fdir men
ere egged out of Caiiip by their former
comrades for refusing to enlist.
The steamship SagusrnQO and 8n lin
go with extra stores of coal and supplies
for the us of the fleet sailed from New
York today for Key West. They will be
used upon their arrival as transports for

Minister Woodford in declining th

Th Navy Department has detailed

fooors.
A change Is expected In th present
way of managing th movement of lli

Hampton Neleel a Position.'
The Navy Department has been ad
vised that Admiral Sampson, acting iu
accordance with instructions sent him
by the naval war board, is making all
speed to the western end of Haiti, when
he will proceed, it is understood, down
the Windward passage to take station at
its southern end.
There he will be in close cable commu
nication with the department, will be
able to throw out scouts and will receive
information of the appearance of the
enemy w'thin several hundred miles of
his position and act accordingly.
Only Waul a haue
If either Admiral Sampson, with his
fleet fresh from the attack on the Span
ish fortification in the harbor of San
Juan, or Commodore Schlev. with his
flying squadron can meet and fight
the Spanish Cape Verde fleet this
week, the end of the war will be io
sight. There is no doubt that either
Sampson or Schley can crush the Span
ish fleet, if they can only get at it, but
there is a doubt about their getting at it.
It is now thought to be trying to get to
Cuba without fighting either of our big
fleets. If it succeeds, the war will be
considerably prolonged, and that is
evidently what Spain desires, in the
hope that if the war is prolonged some
other European power or powers will get
mixed up in it.
Can Bnn meter.
Owing to the superior speed of the
vessels composing the Spanish fleet, they
will have the choice of fighting or run
ning should they be met by either of
our fleets. The most formidable fighters
in our fleets the monitors and battle
shipsare to slow to keep up with the
Spanish fleet,, if it desires to run away
without fighting. It is only a question of
time when every ship in the Spauish
fleet will either he destroyed or captured
if they get into a Cuban harbor it will be
a matter of a few weeks. This week will
tell which will hold the blockade. The
blockade of Cuba, which during the past
few days has been accompanied by some
stirring fighting, which wc got the best
of, besides cutting two Important Span
ish cables, will be continued, but the
lln,l:n , nm.r in I 'lllm l,o. Kaon
postponed until after that Spanish fleet
is wiped out.
