Speaking of modern ingenuity" re-
marked Assistant Superintendent of
Telegraph Roome the other day, calls
to mind the happy idea OF Superinten-
dent Joseph Bonner. now located with
the Southern Pacific company at San
Francisco, when he was on this end.
You may remember his experience in

owing to the many woodpeckers in
that section. The birds constantly at
tackled the posts and actually perfor-
ated the wood i'm divers places until
the poles bore the ppearance of hav-
ing been bored, soon becoming useless.
Realizing that something must be done
Mr.. Donner put on his thinking zap,
and at the end of a week he had
solved the problem.
"A month later he journeyed to Spot
ford Junction, and attached to the
train was q carload of hollow iron
poles, each painted to resemble ordin-
airy rough red cedar. These he set up
at intervals of five miles, covering the
territory affected by the woodpeckers.
A skilled eye could not determine the
difference between the iron poles and
the wooden ones. Concealed within

woodpeckers were fooled. They imag-

poles. and then began a desperate sor-
tie of the birds upon the metal. They
focked tn the anticipated harvest in
fiocks. and the foolish things never
realized their error until the bill OF
each bird was worn down to a FRAGILE.

WAR NEWS.

On Wednesday afternoon about
o'clock the first real fighting with our
warships began in Cuban waters be-
tween the flagship New York, Cap
tain Sampson in command, the mont
tor Puritan and the cruiser Cincinnati
on one side, and the forts at Matanzas
on the other. This city and bay are
about % miles east of Havana. Bat
teries of Point Rubal Caya and Point
Maya guard the entrance to the har-
bar. These began the attack, but
their shots fell short except two,
which passed over the New York.
The range of firing was from 1000
yards at first to about 1000 before
the conflict ended.
Our three vessels did effective work.
The batteries were silenced in Is
minutes, so precise and destructive
were the sc shots fred from the YES
sells.
The defenses of Matanzas were be-
ing strengthened. but by prompt &C
ton Captain Sampson has demolished
the works, and also learned about the
skill of the gunners. The Americans
are greatly elated and think the easy
work at Matanzas insures the success
full attack upon Havana.
The loss of life and property in the
forts is not known, but Spanish Off
cisls admit that they lost some men.
After the batteries were silenced the
New York put to sea, leaving her
companions near the bay.

MADRID, May I.-Advices from
Manila say that the American
Squadron, under Commodore
Dewey. appeared off the bay of
Manila at S o'clock this morning
and opened a strong cannonade
against the Spanish Squadron and
forts protecting the harbor.
The Spanish second-class cruis-
er Don Juan de Austria was Sc
verely damaged and her Comman-
der was killed. Another Spanish
vessel was burned.
The American Squadron retired
having also sustained severe dam
age.
A second naval engagement fol-
lowed, in which the American
1Squadron again suffered considera-
BILE loss and the Spanish warships
Mundane and Ullao were slightly
damaged.

The dailies of yesterday give an
account OF naval battle fought on
Sunday morning in the Harbof OF
Manila between the American
and Spanish fleets. Below we
give the cable messages entire as
taken from the Enquirer:
Hone KONG, May I.-Advices
from Manila state that Commo=
dore Dewey opened strong can
nonade against the Spanish squad
ron guarding the harbor this
morning. After severe fighting he
retired to place his wounded in
safety and then returned to the at
tack. After gaining decisive
victory he retired in the offing'
without the loss ofa vessel, though
his list of killed and wounded is
said to be considerable. The
Spanish cruiser, Don Juan de
Austria was blown up and her
Commander killed. The cruiser
Maria Christina was burned and
several smaller ships of war were
sunk. The Spanish Admiral Mon
tejo was compelled to transfer his
flag from the Christina to the Isla
de Cuba. The Spanish fleet was
practically annihilated and Manila
is panic-stricken. 1t is believed
here that the capture of the city
is a matter Of but a few hours.

ANOTHER RICH PRIZE.

On Wednesday morning the mont
tor Terror and gunboat Machias cap
tured the Spanish ship Guido with
rich booty estimated at 100000,
aside from the specie in the safe.
which amount is not known. She was
laden with provisions for Havana
Failing to stop the engines of the
Guido when ordered, the captain had
to surrender after four shots from the
war vessels had done his ship consid-
cradle damage. The capture was taken
to Key West. The prizes taken during
the first week are estimated at 49,
100000.

'Last night, April 80, the bat
teries at the entrance to the fort
announced the arrival of the enc
my's squadron, forcing a passage
under the obscurity of night. At
daybreak the enemy took up a po-
sition, opening with strong fire
against Fl. Cavite and the arsenal.
"Our fleet engaged the enemy
in a brilliant combat, protected by
the Cavite and Manila forts. They
obliged the enomy with heavy loss
to maneuver repeatedly. At 9
o'clock the American Squadron
took refuge behind the foreign
merchant shipping on the East
side of the bay.
Our fleet, considering the enc
my's superiority, naturally suffered
a severe loss. The Maria Chris
TINA is on fire and another ship,
believed to be the Don Juan de
Austria, was blown up.
"There was considerable loss of
life. Captain Cadarzo, command.
ing the Maria Christina, is among
the killed. l cannot now give
further details. The spirit of the
army, navy and volunteers is ex-
cellent. " ....
FL Heraldo says Montejo chang
ed his flagship during the engage
ment or between the two encoun-
tiers the better to direct the ma
neuvers. Thus he escaped the
fate Of CHRISTMAS commander.
The second engagement was ap-
parently begun by the Americans
after landing their wounded on the
West side of the bay.
Cabinet Ministers speak of "ser-
ious but honorable losses"
. An official telegram.sreceived at
a late hour from the Governor
General of the Philippines says:
admiral Montejo has trans
ferred his flag to the cruiser Isle
de Cuba from the cruiser Reina
Maria Christina. The Reina Ma
ria Christina was completely
burnt, as was also the cruiser Cas-
tiliar the other ships having to re-
tire from the combat, and some
being sunk to avoid their falling
into the hands Of the enemy"
