AMERICAN MARINES AND CUBAN
INSURGENTS STORM A
SPANISH FORT.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 15.-12:30
p. m.-The United States marines, I'M
der Lieutenant-Colon Robert w.
Huntington, made their first aggressive
movement against the Spanish guerillas
to-day at Guantanamo and completely
routed the enemy.
The force of marines was under Cap
tain Elliott and the cooperating Cubans
were under Colonel Laborda. The
combined forces RACED Spanish camp
about five miles from the American po-
sition, destroying the only well in the
vicinity and killed about forty Spaniards.
One American marine was slightly
wounded. Two Cubans were killed
and four wounded.
1t is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of Spaniards engaged, owing to
their guerilla methods of fighting, but
it is believed there were at least four
hundred.
The marines behaved splendidly,
their craftsmanship being excellent,
even under the severe fire of the enemy.

~uCatehtnEs the Better OF the Two
The Cartbaglnlan, whose editor is
the strongest free silver advocate on
the Mississippi press, makes the FOL
lowing pertinent observations with
reference to the contest for congress
in the Bird district:
We notice that the Biloxi Review
and a few other free silver papers are
urging the claims Of young Pat Hen
ny and the defeat Of Catchings in the
Shoestriug district. The Carthagin-
ian entertains no political affection
for Mr.. Catchings, and thinks he
ought to be supplanted by a free sill
yer man. But 80 far from believing
that Pat Henry is the proper man to.
fiji Catchings place, we are free to.
confess that we should, if we lived in
that district, support Catchings in
preference to Henry. Two years ago.
the Carthaginian strongly desired to.
see Lougino "a true and tried free
silver man elected to succeed Catch
iuds, and took occasion to urge upon
the people Of that district the impor-
lance of retiring Catchings because
of his goldbug views. But Pat Hen
ry and others did not see the matter
from our standpoint. They nomin-
ated Catchings in the teeth Of his
gold standard views, and defeated the
gifted LONGING in spite Of the fact
that he was an able and consistent
advocate Of free coinage. One Of the
most active Of those who worked TO
secure C]atchings' election and the
defeat Of Longino was the Hon. Pat
Henry, who would now willingly see
his part in the campaign Of 1896 ex-
plunged from the record
An open foe is always less to be
dreaded than a ~treacherous friend,
and while Mr.. Catchlngs' opinions on
the financial question may not have
undergone any material change, it is
certain that he has not stained
himself in attempting to antagonize
the well understood sentiments of his
constituents on the matter of silver
coinage.
There are several features connect
ed with the canvass in the river dis,
trict which it might be interesting
to discuss, and although it is outside
