One night Chaplain Jones, of tbe Texas, heard volley firing on the Cuban coast, whichwras being guarded by the blockading squadron, and was told that marines were being landed from the Marblehead. The next morning, says the Buffalo Express, Capt. Mc Calla came alongside of the Texas in his launch and announced that four of his men had been killed and that there : was still fighting. Chaplain Jones then approached Capt. Philip and said that he would like to go ashore and look after the wounded and read the serv ices for the dead. Capt. Philip gave in stant permission, and the chaplain pre pared to go ashore with a boatload of marines that was in charge of a young lieutenant. As the worthy chaplain clambered over the side ot the Texas the lieutenantlookedupfrom the boat and called out: "Where are you going?" "Lieutenant," replied the chaplain, "I am going to bury the dead." "For goodness sake give us a chance to get killed first," rejoined the of ficer. "Lieutenant, I am going to bury the dead that have already fallen," re sponded the chaplain, whereupon the lieutenant quickly replied: "I beg your pardon, chaplain, I was. too hasty."
