SEA WATER AS MEDICINE.
Not Pleasant to Take, But Its Effects
 Are Good

When a bather at Atlantic City the other day accidentally swallowed a big gulp of sea water and then rushed off to get a drink of whiskey to take the taste out of his mouth a successful medical practitioner, who had witness ed the performance, turned to writer for the Washington Star and said:
 ''That man is either a greenhorn or fool Otherwise on such occasion he would have taken merely a sip or two of lemonade and allowed the sea wa ter to do it's work As a matter of fact, one of the most beneficial fea- lures of sea bath is the salt water in- advertently swallowed by bathers.

BASE BALL IN BIBLICAL TIMES

A member of the Canton Theological school, who is interested in the great national game, has written a thesis on base ball among the ancients" From this are gleaned the following interss.- ing points which help to establish his contention:
 The devil was the first coacher-he coached Eve when she stole first Adam stole second.
 When Isaac met Rebecca at the well she was walking with pitcher.
 Samson struck out a great many times when he beat the Philistines.
 Moses made his first run when he slew the Egyptian.
 Cain made base hit when he killed Abel.
 Abraham made sacrifice.
 The prodigal son made a home run.
 David was great long distance thrower. :.

He was born in Pennsylvania March

He was appointed to the regular
army from civil life. He enlisted in
the late war of the rebellion as a pri-

Infantry and was discharged soon after
and commissioned First Lieutenant Fiji

the Twenty-fourth Infantry in Septem-

1869. He was promoted to Major of

AS soon as the Hist and the Wampa-

disabled their captains decided that it
would be useless to fight longer against
such superior enemy. Accordingly
the Wampatuck FASTENED to the rescue
of the Hornet, the Hist the meantime
keeping up the fight.
After the Wampatuck had succeeded
in getting a line on the Hornet she
steamed out to sea with the disabled
vessel in tow. The Hist followed close
after, pouring shot at the enemy until
out of range.
During the engagement the American
vessels succeeded in sinking one of the
Spanish gunboats, one sloop and one
pontoon. They also disabled the
enemy's torpedo boat. did much damage

discovered the Purisima Conception
and two large transports lying in the
harbor.
AS if this was not enough excitement
for one small auxiliary cruiser, the Hist
poked her nose into Nuguira Bay and
discovered a Spanish gunboat lying
there. She Immediately opened fire on
the Spaniard and sunk her in less than
ten minutes. The Hist subsequently
had another exciting experience with a
ship laden with Spanish troops and
again the little fighter came out with
new laurels She discovered the troop
ship some distance out from shore and
promptly challenged her. The ship did
not stop until the Hist fired shot
across her bows. Instead her captain
sent her toward shore.
The captain of the Hist knew that he
could take his little craft just as far in
as the Spaniards could go so he started
in hot pursuit after the larger vessel.
He could not capture the ship, but he
drove her aground.
Without attempting to save their YES
sci the Spaniards scrambled ashore and
disappeared in the woods.

MILITARY PARK Ga), July 3.-Late
this afternoon an order from the War
Department to General Brooke, direct
ing him to designate about 10000 men
for immediate departure to the South,

Brooke declined to make public the
order but 1t is understood that he has
selected the First Division of the First
Corps and two brigades of the Second
Division to be moved at once.
The regiments of the First Division
We're inspected this evening and are
ready to move. They have been kept
busy since the order to prepare for the
field came week ago, getting rid of
their excess of equipment and clothing,
and it will require very little time to
break camp and depart.
The regiments will embark at Ross
vile and Ringgold to insure speedy
transportation as was done when the

thought by the railroad authorities
that they can move the 10000 men in
two days. 1t is understood at this hour

One of Admiral SIMPSONS vessels the

Admiral Sampson sent the Hist. the

Undaunted by this formidable array,
the three little American vessels

attack. Their fire was returned by the

combatant, doing much damage when
they struck.

Fleet Will be Strengthened by One
or More Monitors.

KEY WEST (Fla.), June 29.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
Naval officers on ships in the harbor
are not hopeful of a speedy movement
against Havana. The blockading fleet
is to be strengthened by one or more
monitors, which will coal from the col
lier Pompeii off Cardenas Two tugs
will keep a lookout about Cardenas, a
revenue cutter will patrol the shore be-
tweet Bahia Honda and Port Cabanas,
one or more big ships will be off Ha-
vana always, and the others will move
along the coast between Havana and
Matanzas. Blockade duty is very dull
work. and the officers have fancy
names for it, such as ''treading the Gin
der path"
An idea of the equipment of Gomez S
army may be gained from looking at
his officers and men, who were lowed
into port the other day in little boat
by the tugboat Uncas, which picked
them up off Cardenas. Their boat had
been captured from the Spaniards and
converted into dispatch boat Some
Of the men We're barefooted, some wore
canvas clothes that had been patched

Hardly day passes now without the
arrival of one or more messengers from
Cuba The Cuban scouts go into Ha-
vana, Santiago, Cardenas and Matan-
zas. They slip away from the most
carefully watched coast and go out to
our ships.
Recently a Cuban Lieutenant carry
ing dispatches, after long waiting on
a key near Cardenas, sighted a small
American war vessel, rowed out to her
and asked to be taken to Commodore
Watson, who, he said, would give him
transportation to Key West.
mo, sir; you can't come aboard.
How do 1 know you are not a Spanish
spy?" the commander of the warship
said. The Lieutenant, who spoke Eng

gued, but all in vain. He was cOmpell-
ed to row ashore and wait till the next
day, when another warship hove in

was clearly proved that General Shat
ter was in much stronger position
than the war officials had been led to
believe he had. One of the officials
who attended the conference said, after
the news had been officially announced,
that the victory materially modified the
seriousness of the situation. The de-
struction of the fleet, which was not
confirmed until a few minutes before
the news was given to the public, re-
moved by far the most serious obstruc-
ton toward the capture of Santiago by
the land forces.
During the almost continuous con-
fict of Friday and Saturday the re-
port shows that the Spanish fleet did
awful execution by Smelling the Amer
ican troops. 1t is regarded as unlikely
that, with the fleet lying in the bay,
General Skaters forces would have
been able safely to occupy Santiago.
After the reduction and capture of
the outer defenses of the city by Gen
eral Shafter it became necessary that
Admiral Cerveras fleet be eliminated
from the equation It's elimination was
executed by Admiral Sampson. thus
leaving the way open for a continued
advance of Skaters troops upon the
city
The details of the destruction of
CerVera's fleet have not been received

the remaining vessels of the fleet the

SAMPSON SATISFIED.
Said the Bombardment Of Santiago
Was the Most Destructive Yet.

July 3, 3:45 a. ma half hour after
the bombardment ceased this morning
Rear Admiral Sampson said to a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press that
he was we'll satisfied with the results
and regarded the attack as the most
destructive yet made by the American
navy on Santiago He also believed, he
said, that the moral effect would be
sure to be good, and would tend to dis
hearten the Spanish troops and to en-
courage our own.
While the Admiral was talking with
the correspondent an orderly reported
to Captain Chadwick, who was present
in the Admirals cabin, that the Span
ish had raised very small flag on the
western tower of MORO Castle to re-
place the colors sent to earth by the
Oregon.
Captain Chadwick laughed, saying:
"Oh, well; we will just have to knock
that down, too, when we get ready"
AS soon as the bombardment closed
down Admiral Sampson sent an officer
on shore to communicate with the land
forces and expressed eagerness to learn
what was being done on shore Neither
he nor Captain Chadwick said so in
plain terms, but it was evident that
both believed that Santiago would be
ours by sunset to-day.
