THE ATTAcK ON sAN mas.

A. AAAu1 kA4i EA~1N O4N DAN JUAN. ta -
A feature Of the action was the reck-
less waste of ammunition by the en-
envy. They must have fired 400 rounds
at least-most of them, apparently
with no attempt to aim straight or ele-
vate for the correct range. Only two
projectiles hit any of our vessels before
bursting. One struck the New York
near her midship S-inch gun and ex-
ploded. 1t killed one man and wound
ed four, smashed both the searchlights
on the middle bridge, put a big hole in
the base of the smoke pipe, destroyed
one boat and badly injured two others,
besides causing minor damages. The
other she'll hit the Iowa in the super
structure just over the after-pOrt g.
inch turret. 1t scraped along the bot
tom of a boat, cut a section out OF its
keel, struck one skidtbeam, pierced an
other and then exploded. The flying
pieces wounded three men, none dam
gerously, temporarily disabled g.
FOUNDER gun, and punched holes in al
most every ventilator cowl on the up
per deck. One large piece cut away the
port bridge ladder, another cut heavy
stanchion almost in two, third went
through the deck and dropped near the
galley on the gun below, while several
smaller pieces tore holes in the adja-
cent boats. The explosion of the she'll
set fire to an awning and a splinter
netting Of manila rope, but both were
quickly extinguisIhed.
Another projectile exploded near the
Iowa on her starboard side. Only a
few fragments came ON hoard, and they
did MO damage OF Importance. A mark
on one of the S-inch tuTrets seems 70
indicate that it was struck by very
small shell, probably from a tield piece.
Had the large shell, which woundsd
before the three men, gone twenty feet
farther before exploding it would prcb-
ably have killed OF wounded the ad-
miral, Captain Evans, Lieutenant
Staunton, Lieutenant Scheutze, and
one or two other officers who were
watching the firing from the coming
tower bridge and were directly in the
path of the projectile. It was fired af-
ter the Iowa had turned away from the
batteries and had temporarily stopped
firing, and was probably aimed at the
Indiana, which was at this time be-
tween us and the forts.
The behavior Of the officers and men
under fire was admirable. They laugh
ed and joked about the poor Spanish
gunnery as the shells and fragments
dropped around the ship or whizzed
over it close to their heads. But, bet
ter than this, they performed their
duties with the utmost precision and a
total lack of excitement or nervous
ness. One of the greatest difficulties
with them was to make them keep un-
der and avoid unnecessary exposure.
The first thing the men did after the
shell burst on board was, after help
ing the wounded below, to search for
fragments Of the projectile as souve-
Mrs. Not being actively engaged at
this time, and the secondary battery
not being used after the first circuit on
account of their smoke interfering with
the aiming of the more important
pieces, many men were merely specta-
tors. and even those in the turrets
climbed out on the turret tops and
watched the firing when We were or

LIBERAL CLUB Is THEN EXPECTED
TO NAME ITS CANDIDATES.

Opinion Expressed That the PeO-

Which Formerly PrevaiIed-COI.
Merritt Dixon Thinks MIR. McDon-
Ough's Chances of Election Good.
The prospects point TO a call for n
meeting of the Liberal Club the first OF
next week to nominate candidates for mu-
nicipal offices. Those who have expressed
themselves at all agree that this is the
proper time nnl unless there is a change.
it is very likely the candidates will be up
about then.
Col. Merritt NJ. Dixon was asked yester-
day when ne thought the club should be
called on to make les nominations. He
said he thought the general desire was
that it should be done as soon after the
holidays as possible. While none had
gone so far as to suggest what day the
meeting be called, Col. Dixon gave it as
his opinion that there would De no unnec-
essary delay after New Years.
From the way the LIBERAL Club has
been looking forward to the election" said
Col Dixon, Il have not the slightest
doubt but It will easily elect the entire
ticket. Ii may be said that The club has
been looking forward to the election in
a business-like way, and for that reason
is prepared to make a fight with the best
prospects of success"
do you think Mr.. McDonough VIII be
tho mayoralty canddate?"
1T looks very much that way" replied
Col. Dixon "Only one thing will inter-
fere with Mr.. McDonough's chances. and
that is revival of the spy system, as
carried on during his previous administra-
ton. do not undertake to say what the
people would do in the event such thing
is adopted again, but my impression is
they would not stand it,"
aside from this, however 1 do not
think there is the slightest doubt about
Mr.. McDonoughs election in the event he
is nominated" continued Col. Dixon. He
can command the situation as no other
man, while there would, of course,
be more or less opposition l think
he could overcome it easily Anyhow the
Liberal Cub has excellent chances to elect
whoever it puts up"
Mayor Meldrim, president of the Liberal
Club, has stated he will cali that club to-

ipal election as soon as possible after the

AT THE INDEPENDENr CHURCH.
Rev. DR.. Fairs Sermon on The
Nativity.

The services at the Independent Presby-
terrain Church yesterday were pervaded
with the spirit of the happy Christmas
season, and reflected both the brightness
and gladness of the advent. The music
always good-was unusually fine
All of the hymns related to the Nativity,
and Mrs. Wickenberg rendered, with ex-
quisite pathos and effect, solo which was
a fitting prelude to DR.. Fairs sermon. His
subject was the 'First Christmas Carol"
the text being taken from Luke ii-14:
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will to men" He said
men usually regard the works of creation
as showing the highest glory of God, but
the angels see its highest manifestation in
the advent.
Not While they survey the wonders OF
the universe, but While they bend above
the Babe in the manager do they ascribe
the highest glory. They are far more
familiar than man with the splendor of
the universe ard its boundless extent.
They witnessed its creation and sang to-
Sether for joy; not spot in its immensely
but has been stirred by a seraph's wings.
Mysteries of science Theoretically sealed
to man are open to them, but with all this
vast angelic penetration they see the
highest glory in the birth of Christ Not
in the golden dawn of creations day did
they so sweetly sing as in the cold gray
dawn upon the Bethlehem hills. WHY
was this?
The advent revealed the higher beauty
and hidden glory of Gods character. Crea-
ton displayed the strength of His hand
and the treasures of His wisdom; redemp-
ton revealed the infinite DEPTHS of His
love and laid bare the secrets of His
heart. To create a universe. that was
wonderful; but to stoop to earth to die
for man. that was more wonderful still
In this astonishing display of mercy. at
tributes of the Divine nature were disclos-
ed which had not been revealed before
1t is the marvel of eternity the romance
of the skies. No wonder the angels hover
ed over that Lowry place, and woke the
echoes of the sleeping hills with a Christ
mas carol, which, rolling onward and up
ward, past the frightening stars, broke
like a great ocean billow of harmony at
the foot of the throne
Let us try to catch the spirit Of that
first Christmas" said Dr. Fair. MAY
Christ be born into all of our hearts. bring
ing peace and good will. Let us try to OBJ
serve our Christmas by making the world
happier and carrying the light of good
cheer to darkened homes. BY a beautiful
law of our being, just in proportion as the
love OF God fills our empty, sinful hearts
the love of man flows in too, filing us
with charity and benefcience and good
will. So may it not be in vain we gather
around the babe in Bethlehem. May His
spirit of love follow us all through the
coming years till beyond the roll of years
we gather around His throne"
There was a large congregation present.
including many strangers and soldiers,
and at the close of the service manv
gathered around the pastor and wished
him and his home a happy Christmas.

This was the saddest day the South Caro-

who remained in camp or killed time by
aimlessly wandering around the city. Many
of the men had made friends in Savan-
nah and were entertained in the hospitable
homes for which the name of your city is
so dear to those who have come as strang-
ers within your gates. but the majority
of the men were in camp. One or two COM

others had the army rations." 1t was not

spirit that makes the day so sweet, in

here so humble that camp life does not
pail upon him when the contrast is made
on this day.
Then the Carolina boys had a thorn in
their side, something a little different from
their inconsistencies. Their state, or rather
the folks at home did not realize what 1t
is to spend this season in tents. without
the women and children, the stockings and
frecrackers around; so the regiment as

perhaps, had not the two Illinois regi-
