foundation and high elevation they had
a splendid opportunity to cripple our

to fire regardless of aim and as II only

Terror Plays Lono Hand.
At the end OF the third round the
monitor Terror failed to understand
the order to withdraw and engaged
Moro castle alone for half an hour.
The Terror moved in as II intending to
ram the forts and the Spanish gun
ners evidently became much excited at
its behavior, for they fired rapidly and
evidently without taking any aim, for
the Terror was not touched. Every
shot fired by the Spaniards could be
seen. The flash and smoke of the bat
teries were followed by great splashing
hundreds of feet from the Terror. The
shells of the Spaniards on exploding
would fling columns Of water sixty feet
high.
The heavy swell somewhat affected
the aim of the gunners of the Terror.

the Spaniards became almost frantic
with excitement and blazed away at the
monitor until it was long out Of range.
Counting the Casualties.
After the battle the dispatch boat
went among the fleet TO inspect the
damage done. The sailors were calm
ly cleaning the decks and polishing
the guns. On board the Iowa boat
was struck and caught fire, an exhaust
pipe was dented. the bridge railing was
shattered, and three men were slight
ly wounded. All this was done by the
solitary shell which struck the Iowa.
One shell which exploded on the New
York killed a man, wounded four OH
ers, shattered two searchlights, spin
tered cutter. tore three holes in
ventilator, and broke small davit
arm. The New York was hit only
once. In addition to the man killed
on board the New York, gunner's
mate on board the monitor Amphitrite

Rear Admiral Sampson had trans

The plans Of the admiral were thor

Three times the warships made the

The forts withstood the first round,
but the Montgomery from its station

destruction. With glasses the officers
Of the Montgomery could see the occu-

POINTS ON CAR FAMINE
MORE CARS WOULD LEAD TO CON-
GESTION OF FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
Likely to Be an Increase in the Num-
eraI and Personal Notes.

j. Q Van Wrinkle, general superintendent
of the Big Four lines, has views which diff
fer from those generally held concerning
the much-talked-of car famine He thinks
the Big -Four is in good shape on the car
question For months now the Big Four has
had no congestion of business at any point,
nor has the Chesapeake & Ohio mo one
questions he says, that we could have
loaded many more cars than have been
loaded on our system, but if this had been
done it would simply have resulted in a con-
gestion of business at some one point, and
business on the system would have been
stagnant until the blockade at the export
points some division point had been
raised AS the matter now stands, every car
is kept moving and every locomotive in
service and will be for weeks and probably
months to come. I think it much better to
keep traffic moving along at its average
large volume than to have double the num-
Der of cars in service and part of the time
standing on sidetraczs, loaded, on account
of bIockades at unloading points or idle.
The Big Four has for some months, been
handling an average of $500 loaded cars a
day, and the fact that each day showed an
average healthy movement satisfied me
that. all things considered, there is little
cause for this talk of car famine, as l
know the conditions are much the same
with all roads which have the usual equip
ment per mile
NJ w. Mansfield, superintendent of the
Indianapolis & Vincennes, said. yesterday,
that were shippers to load cars promptly
and consignees unload them in the same
manner there would be plenty of cars.
Cars are used too much as storehouses.
Only yesterday a consignee was so slow in
getting four carloads of shingles unloaded
that the company sent men to unload them
to get the use of the cars. To some con-
signees the car-service bureau carries no
terrors. The greatest abuse ON the part of
consignees is in the unloading of coal cars,
which are the largest in number of any
class of cars in proportion to the traffic
they yield to the roads.
