SAMPSON TO SHELL CUBAN TOWNS.

Key West, April 2S.-At noon yesterday
he New York and Puritan engaged the
Spanish shore batteries at Matanzas Eigh
ty-tlve shots wero fired the Cincinnati
coming into action and firing few at the
last The short batteries were si!enced in
twenty minutes, when the American war
ships, having accomplished their purpose,
withdrew.
No Americans were hurt. The Spanish
loss in killed and wounded was probably
less than one hundred. This is surmised
from the appearance of the batteries after
tho fire.
Two days ago 1t WAS reported to Cap.

built at Matanzas The Matanzas gun

tlred on the Foote. Yesterday. whom the

AKLONDIKE DIVORCE.
How the Miners at Circle City Granted
One to q Squaw.

Dunkirl1, N. Y, Nov. 14.-William G.
Atwood, who has returned from the
Klondike to spend the winter tells the
following story of a divorce proceeding
that he witnessed in Circle City:
ELLEN, an Indian maiden, was mar
ried to a miner named Finney by the
United States commissioner at Circle
City. They lived in a log cabin, and
she was able to take her own part so
successfully that he could never whip
her. Therefore he fell into the habit
of giving her whisky enough to make
her drunk and then beating her to his
satisfaction She stood this treatment
for a long time and then consulted an
other squaW man, and, acting upon his
advice, appealed to the miners of the
settlement for redress. A meeting of
the miners was called and about sixty
of them assembled to deliberate on the
case. To this meeting the discouraged
wife made her plea as follows:
" Finney drunk too much. Me didn't
want to live with him any more. He
beat me. Me want divorce like white
people. Me don't want to live with
Finney.'
''Finney, when called to testify on his
own behalf, said: I don't want you to
take Ellen away from me. She is my
wife and want her to keep house for
me- She is the best dressed sQuaw in
Circle City
1.-THE chairman asked Finney if he
ever gave her whisky. He replied,
Yes, I have, for I couldn't get along
with her if I didn't
After hearing the complaint and de-
fence, a vote was taken upon the QueS-
ton of whether Ellen should be granted
a divorce. The vote was unanimous in
her favor, and the chairman declared
that, by the power vested in him and
the miners meeting, Ellen was divorced
from Finney. He inquired if there was
anything in the cabin that she wished
to have. She said she wanted the dog
and the sewing machine. Ffnney said
she couldn't have the sewing machine,
because he had paid for it. She pro-
tested that she had bought it with
money earned by washing, and the
chairman appointed a committee, with
power to act, to investigate the respec-
tive claims. The committee found that
she had earned the money as she had
said, and had paid it for the sewing
machine. The committee then proceeded
to the cabin, took possession of the dog
and the machine, and gave them to
the divorced wife as an equivalent for

AT LORD MAYORS SHOW.
An American Float EmbIematic of AL
lance is Cheered.

London, Nov. 14.-An Anglo
American float, emblematic of an alli-
ance, was the feature OF the brilliant
Lord Mayors show.
As it passed through the streets of
the city, preceded by bands, the First
Life guards and the Honorable artillery,
the float was greeted with cheers and
loud applause. Americans in the great
crowd which witnessed the procession
from houses along the line added their
cheers to those of EngliShmen, and also
showed appreciation by removing and
waving their hats.
Not less significant was the position
of the American flag in the lines of
bunting stretched from side to side of
Fleet street and the Strand, through
which the procession passed. In nearly
every instance the United States and
British ensigns hung together in the
center of strings OF flags. The An
glO-American' car was the only one
furnished with raised canopy. The
canopy was supported by four poles and
bore in the upper portion design Illus
trative of an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States In the
center of the car was Britannia" seat
ed, trident in hand, with the lion stand
her stood Columbia" handsome and
imposing. her hair circled by a band Of
gold, holding a trident in her right hand.
The figure was clothed with a loose fit
ting Grecian blouse, covered with stars,
and the dress was made of striped cloth.
The motto, Defense, not Defiance"
was inscribed on the base of the stand.
Above the draped wheels appeared the
design, Hail Columbian and Rule
BritanniaP'
British and American flags adorned
the rear, and the whole was shaped in
the form of a ship, with guns thrust
through the portfolios, and English and
American soldiers standing around, the
American ensign being carried by
British sailor and the British flag by an
American sailor.

standards, bearing the names of Brit
ish and American naval and military
heroes. The bands accompanying the
car played Hail Columbian Rule
Britanniar' and Yankee Doodle al
ternately. It was a remarkable dem
onstratiOn and aroused more enthusi-
asm than the float entitled From Cal
70 to the Cape"
The crowds on the streets today were
nearly as large as those seen during the
Jubilee celebrations.
