A Patriotic Sermon.

Rev. Father Gay delivered sermon
on the present war at the church of the
Holy Faith yesterday, that should have
been received by a church packed to the
doors. Among other things. the presi-
dents proclamation, requesting the
prayers of the congregation for Ameri-
cas- success in the present strife was
read, and then the pastors interesting
talk followed. He chided the Amer-
cans for their proneness to boasting and
while he admitted the heroic deeds of
the grand, good men whose names have
grown so familiar lately, he declared
that they We're simply the instruments
in the hands of the higher power that
bore in His hand the destiny of nations.
While giving due praise to Dewey,
Sampson, Schley and Hobson, God
should be remembered above all with
prayers of gratitude and supplications
for future favors.

Beet Sugar Production in the
United States.

The chemistry Office of the depart
ment of agriculture gives figures as to
the beet sugar production in the United
States during 1897, which will prove of
great interest to sugar beet growers
throughout this section.
There were obtained 3s9,6s5 tons of
sugar beets from 4l.272 acres of land
the average yield being 9.5 tons. The
total amount of beet sugar made in the
country during the year 1897 was 99,-
491 $40 pounds, an average of 232
pounds per ton of 1000 pounds, or 11.6
per cent of the weight of the beets.
sit is safe to say that at least $4,000
acres will be planted in beets during the
season of 1898. The yield of beets may
be expected to be 100000 tons, and of
sugar lS0,0OO,000 pounds. y The
percentage of beet sugar produced in
the United States during 1897 to the
total consumption was only 2.95, but
the prospects are that in 1898 it will be
nearly per cent of the total con-
sumption, which now amounts to about
1000, 900 tons annually

Port Antonio, July 1.-THE Brooklyn
Indiana and Texas, under COmmodor,
Schley, began the bombardment of tn,
city of Santiago at 5:l5 o'clock this fter
noon in obedience to Il request from
| General Shafter, conveyed by sigma
from the shore. The warships lined up
from east to the west, Il quarter of a
mile from the shore, and fired over the
limestone cliffs that come down to the
sea and hide the city. five miles distant.
The bombardment was continued one
hour.
After 35 shots had been fred from the
eight-inch guns, Commodore Schley be-
came convinced that the Brooklyn's fire
was falling short, and ordered cessa-
tion, permitting the battleships to con-
tinue, they, with their larger guns, hav-
ing a longer range. The shots We're
fired apparently with great deliberation
and at intervals of two minutes. Sig
mails from the shore announced that the
shells fell 1000 feet short and little
to the left of the Spanish position. At
dusk the squadron ceased firing and
Commodore Schley sent a launch to
shore to ask General Shafter if he de-
sired the firing continued during the
night. When the Associated Press re-
porter went aboard the Brooklyn Com
modore Schley said he was ignorant of
the purpose of the bombardment. The

The guns will carry more than five

great elevation is required.
When the Dandy left Aguadores at

position. When the bombardment
began a heavy rain storm was in progress
with thunder and lightning, bat the
artillery fire could be heard on shore,
indicating that General Shafter had
resumed hostilities Immediately on the
ending of the armistice. The situation
must have been appalling to the Span
iards, and if General Shafter made a
demonstration for the mere effect it |
would have on the wavering enemy, he
probably attained his end. !
