San Francisco

Several men on the lower deck
opened fire with their rifles, and this
was followed by rafting volley by
the men on the upper deck.
1.-THE shrapnel fired from the Hotch-
kiss ended the fight, as the Spaniards
fed, firing rockets, calling for help.
For awhile a light shot up and was
answered by a red light from the
mountains behind. Then red and green
rockets were fired in rapid succession.
THE call for assistance was
promptly answered, for while the
hlibuster was swinging into position
to allow the Hotchkiss to play upon the
enemy, gunboat, double the size of
the coaster, appeared on the port. She
opened fire upon us with heavy guns
but she did not have our range, and
the shells burst far ahead.
SHOOK THE SEA.
Gunner Walsh rammed another
shrapnel into the gun on the prov,
sighted it for the new conner and
yanked the lanyard. There came a
roar that shook the sea and the hills
and re-echoed in the distance. The
shell flew straight for the gunboat,
and burst directly over her. 1t was
answered by a still heavier laundering,
the gunboat returning the fire of
shell with shell.
THE shot from the Spaniard disabled
two of the landing boats of the fill
buster, but did no other damage.
THE Hotchkiss was again loaded
with shrapnel and the next discharge
aimed with splendid skill by the gun
ners on the Three Friends, struck the
cruiser amidshios. The Spanish on
the warship seemed to lose their heads.
Whether the cruiser was actually dis
abled or not. no one on the Three
Friends know. for the Three Friends
put up steam, leaving the warship pos
sibly disabled, but at all events silent
and heedless-a defeated enemy out of
sight, behind a point of land.
FIERCE FIGHT FOLLOWED.
LAS the cargo of the Three Friends
was being landed the Spanish coast
patrol came UP and fierce fight en-
sued between them and the Cubans
sent by General Gomez to escort the
cargo into his camp. After two hours
off and the cargo was landed and safely
carried into the interior.
1.-The vessel then lay to for several
hours in a secluded cove and started
for Florida last Monday. She was
pursued by several gunboatS as she
entered the windward passage, and a
ball from one of them tore a hole in
her bulwarks. A barrel of oil on the
furnace fire soon ran up the steam and
the fast craft crept away.
Emerging from the Keys, two cruis-
ers were found waiting for her, and an
other race ensued. The Spanish vessel
fired on her for half an hour.
Captain Lewis then ran in among
the Keys and escaped from the Span
ish war vessels reaching American
waters near Miami, Fla"

A GLASS HOUSE.
Used For Human Beings, Not Plants
Nor Chickens.

There is in Yokohama a human
home, very different from ordinary
houses, but possessing several distinct
charms, and it's outer walls are COM
posed of glass.
This queer residence was conceived
by DR.. w. Van der Heyden of Yoko-
hama He is a bacteriologist, with a
healthy dread of microbes of all orders,
and while he has sought other scientific
objects also in the construction of this
experimental dwelling, his chief aim
has been to devise a sanctuary to
which the germs of disease could not
penetrate.
Roughly estimated, the dimensions OF
this house are as follows: Length, A
feet; breadth. % feet; height. II feet.
Large paneS of glass fully half an inch
thick. set in a double iron frame, form
the walls and roof of the building.
There are no window sashes. A row
of small openings around the upper
part of the second story allow the
escape of air from within, but admit
no outside air. Entrance is effected
through a long corridor, in which nu-
merous doors are so arranged that
almost no air can get in with a person
except that which is already entangled
in his clothing.
What is intended TO be the sole sup
ply of air is obtained at a consider
able distance, being forced through a
pipe and carefully filtered with cotton
wool before it reaches the dwelling. In
this manner most of the microbes are
excluded. But to make the sterilization
more complete the air is driven against
a glycerine-coated plate on entering
the lower rooms, and any microscopic
life which passed the cotton wool is
captured by a substitute for fly paper.
InaSmuch as strong sunlight kills near
ly all bacteria, there is another agent
at work destroying possible survivors,
and, if necessary, the floors and WALL
can be sprayed with disinfectants III
spite of all these precautions a few
bacteria do get in, probably in the
clothes of people who have been out of
doors, but they stand little chance of
living long. much less of multiplying.
An evidence of the sterility of the air
in this house is found in the fact that
milk and unsalted butter remain sweet
much longer than elsewhere.
Another remarkable feature OF this
experiment is still more interesting
than those just mentioned The space
between the two thicknesses of glass
in the walls is filed with a solution of
certain salts, alum or soda. Now, when
the sunshine strikes the house (Which
stands out unshaded in an open tract)
the liquid abSOrbs the solar heal,
which, consequently, does not penetrate
TO the interior, except very gradually.
At the hottest hour of the hottest day.
therefore, it. is several degrees cooler in
the upper rooms of this dwelling than
in the shaded apartments of adjacent
residences, where windows and doors
are wide open.

A Famous Case Dismissed.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 24.-The
famous case Of Dowdell against the
Elyton company calling into question
the validity of the transfer of the
Elyton Land company property to the
Elyton company, its successor was dis
missed in the city court of Birmingham
yesterday by the complainant, after
two years of litigation. 1t is generally
understood that the complainant, a
stakeholder of the old company, ac-
cepted a comprimise sum, the courts
having decided his way so far. The
Elyton Land company founded Bir-
mingham and owned $4,000, goo worth
of real estate here. All opposition to
the transfer is now at end and holders
of S2.000,000 of bonds in the new COM
panY are secure.

Mefcoric Bodies,

The opinion is attributed to some astron
omers that it is possible for the earth, un
der >ertaih circumstances, to capture as
satellites some of the rowing meteoric bod
les known To be 50 numerous in space in
stead of bringing them to the surface as
aerolites and that, rs these bodies are too
small to be seen--a mass of 100 tons being
invisible at 500 or /, 900 miles when bright
ly lishted-the earth may be attended by
hundreds of invisible moons. Sir j. Her
schel is cited as even of the opinion that
they may be large enough TO be visible for
brief intervals when beyond the earth 5
shadow, and Sir John Lubbock has actu
ally supplied formule for calculating the
distances from observations of this kind
NJ. Petit, also, director of the observatory
at Toulouse, is quoted as having been leo
by observation and calculation to conclude
that the earth is attended by at least one
metcoric stone of considerable size-one
about 26 times nearer than the moon--its
orbit being 5000 miles from the earth S
surface, the tiny moon revolving round
the earth In 3 hours and 90 minutes.
