The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors

contrasted by a Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people over the an

Signal occasion to call the attention of
the American public to the annual sac
rifice of hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds Of

Spanish ruse was to draw them in un-

where the Spanish artillery officers
could plot out the exact range with
their telameters and spot them. So the
return was made in line ahead parallel
with the shore. Commander Lilly had
not been mistaken. AS his ships came
abreast of the Santa Clara battery the
big guns opened and fired shells at a
distance Of about five miles. The
range was badly judged, as more than
half the shells overshot the mark and
others fell short, some as much as a
mile. Two shells from the Vicksburg

and some of it came down, but it was
impossible to know whether any fataIi-

were fired, but not one struck within
