The Rough Riders.
(Richard Hlrdinn Davis in Scrihr,

(Richard Harding Davis in scribn r's.)
The prophets cf evil OF the Tampa Bay Hotel
had foretold that the cowboys would shoot as
they chose. and, in the field, would act indie
pendently OF their officers As it turned out,
the cowboys Were the very men who wait
ed most patiently for the officers to give the
word OF command. At all times the movement
was without rest, breathess and fierce. like a
cane-rush or a street fight. After the first three
minutes every man had stripped as though for
a wrestling match, throwing off all his impedi-
meGta but his cartridge box and csnteen. Even
then the sun handicapped their strength cruelty
The enemy hid in the shade of the jungle,
while they had to fight in the open for every
thicket they gained, crawling through grass
which hot a steam bath, and with
their flesh and clothing torn by thorns and the
swordlike blade of the Spanish bayonet. The
glare of the sun was full in their eyes and as
fierce as limelight.

Cat the dinner Of the Kipling Club. of Yale
University, the following verses were read as
an answer by Rudyard Kipling to invitation
to attend the eelebraton:)

For their light an ieadn are engaged in re ld:n'

SAYS SHE BOUGHT POISON.
Mrs. Botlxin CInims She Used Arse
mic to Glenn Hats.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 6.-When con-
fronted with the evidence tending to show
that she had purchased arsenic in the
Owl Drug Store on June l. Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin merely smiled.
Il acknowledge that | bought the poi
son." she remarked, but 1 used it for
bleaching my hats"
why did you not mention this circum-
stance to the police?" she was asked.
II forgot to do So she said. Il have
two witnesses who saw me clean the hats.
Indeed. a friend of mine was with me
when l purchased the arsenic. | made no
secret of the matter. Mr.. Grey, who sold
the arsenic to me, is an acquaintance or
mine. We chatted for some time while
was in the store. He told me there were
better preparations for cleaning hats than
arsenic, but he gave me the compound
without trouble.
A doubt has been raised as TO the char
acter of poison which was placed in the
candy sent to Mrs. DunninS in Dover.
The dispatches declared that arsenic in
crysiailiZed form was found in the candy.
If this be true, then the prosecution can
make little use of the purchase of the
poison by Mrs. Botkin.
Chemists say that arsenic once powdered
cannot be crystailiZed or even caked
without the application of intense heat.
1t is unlikely that Mrs. Botkin knew OF
this. and even if she did appliances for
crystallizing arsenic were not easily OBJ
tanned by her.
The police contend that the arsenic used
was not crystallized. but powdered. 1t is
asserted that the chocolates brought 10
this city from Dover by Detective McFey
contained powdered arsenic In sufficient
quantities to kill a dozen men.
The police are now gathering evidence
concerning Mrs. Eotkin's hats. with a
view to disprovins her story as to the
reason for purchasing arsenic.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer has
examined the extradition papers and pro-
nounced them satisfactory in every re-
spect.
Mrs. Botkin will appear in Judge Cook
court today, but her case will be cOntinu-
ed Tomorrow she will be taken into Po-
lice Judge JOachim's court and her exam
| inatiOn on the charge of sending poison
Gus matters through the mails will be
commenced. Subsequent proceedings will
depend upon the action taken by Gov.
Budd on the extraditiOn papers issued by
the governor of Delaware.

Whaling Ships Reported Lost

Seattle. Wash. Sept. Ga sensational
report of the loss of an Arctic whaling
fleet was brought by Captain White, of
the steamer Utopia. that arrived from

White says that the steamer Woicott ar
rived at Juneau from Unalaska last
Tuesday. and that Captain Downing her
master, reports that all the whaling ves-
sells that We're imprisoned in the Arctic

SPANIARDS WERE IN AMBUSH
Had Erected strong FOrtificatl0ns
and Masked Batteries.

Key West, May lathe United States
cruiser Marblehad, gunboat Nashville
and auxiliary cruiser Window steamed
up to the harbor sf Genfuegos Wednes
day morning with orders to cut the cable
connecting Havana with Santiago de
only after II terrific fight between our
warships and several thousand Spanish
troops, which lined the shore and were
concealed behind improvised breastworks,
Soon after the arrival OF the warships
off Cienflicgos, four boats were launched
and proceeded inshore tor the purpose of
graphing for the cable in order to cut it..
The war,hips lay to about 1900 yards or
more oil the harbor. 1t was observed
that the Spanish troops had assembled
along shore but it was not known that
heavy guns had been placed in masked
batteries and that the old lighthouse bat
teries ON the neck of land had been trans
formed into formidable fort.
The small boats proceeded cautiously
and for more than an hour worked unmo-
Tested on the cable. When the work was
about completed a shore battery fired
Il shell at the boats. IT was followed by
others and the Spanish infantry opened
fire then with their rifles. Then, like a
flash the Alarblehead sent shell in
land and followed it with perfect shower
Of shot. Then the Window cut loose
with her 4pounder.
In the meanwhile Spanish bullets flew
in every direction around the small boats
The blue jackets were not dismayed, and
protected by the terrific return fire by
the warships, the work was continued and
the cable cut
When the boats returned to the ships
Regain, who was in one of the Marble
heads boats, of which there were two
was found to have been killed. Six men
were badly wounded.
The Spaniards had by this time suf-
fered severe loss. Their shots from the
lighthouse struck the warshps several
times and although they did not do much
damage, the fire aroused the determine
ton OF the American officers to extermin-
ate the forts. Thereafter, for moment.
| the fire Of the ships was concentrated
on the lighthouse and the improyised fort
was blown to pieces. As there were
great number. Of the Spanish in and be
hind the font at the time, there is no
doubt that many OF them were killed.
| The Marblchead and Nashville used their
heaviest guns Is we'll as their small rapid
firing guns and an hundred shots were
| thrown into the Spanish troops.
