from both Rear Admiral Sampson's and
Commodore Schley's column and tor
rent of shells from the ships rell on the
Spanish works. The Spaniards replied
promptly, but their artillery work was of
a very poor quality and most of their
shots went wide. Smoke settled around
the ships in dense clouds, rendering accu-
rate aiming difficult. There was no
manoeuvring of the fleet, the ships re-
manning at their original stations, firing
steadily.
The squadrons were so close that it was
difficult for the American gunners to
reach the batteries on the hill tops, but
their firing was excellent.
Previous to the bombardment orders
were issued to prevent firing on Moro
castle, as the American admiral had been
informed that Lieut.. Hobson ana the
other prisoners of the Merrimac were
confined there. In spite of this however.

Washington, j Tune 7.-WhiIe the officials
of the Navy Department. decline to say
definitely whether the bulletin contained
all the information given in Admiral
SIMPSONS cablegram, there is reason to
believe that it did not. The officials re-
fused to vouchsafe further information
than was posted on the bulletin board.
Only one additional point was elected
by questioning, that was that the cable
gram contained no information about the
landing Of either land forces or marine.
The information received from Admiral
Sampson was evidently quite satisfactory
to the naval authorities. 1t is pretty
we'll understood that the bombardment
was for the purpose of paving the way
either for the landing of troops or actual
ly to cover the landing of marines and
the few troops presumably already there.
1t is not believed that Admiral Samp-
son after having silenced the forts would
leave them to be rehabilitated by the
enemy. 1t is deemed likely that he landed
sufficient force of marines to hold the
ground he had gained and to make
preparations for the landing of the
regular force upon their arrival, if in

An Unique Entertainment.
From ss.urdays Daily.

Mrs. Hugo. Richards requests your assistance in unmasking twen- ty distinguished persons at her home on Friday October If, from 2 to p. m"
 The above was the very unique wording of invitations received by a large number of Prescott ladies re- gently. To unmssk persons distin- guished or not distinguished, would seem at first sight to be an easy matter, but after all it depended on how they are marked. In this case the mask consisted of a title by which the parsonage was known, aside from his name, the game be- ing to give the correct name. Iu many cases the task proved easy, ID others it imposed quite task on the memory. For instance "The COndueror" would be recognized ss "William the Conquer" but what Williams full name was was a mat ter more easily forgotten, by the casual student of history, than it was to remember 1t.
 There were three prizes for the best unmaskers and they were won by Mesdames J. J. Fisher, 4. c. Bur mister and 4. G. Kennedy.
 The game proved a very interest ing and exciting one and at its con ,luslon elegant refreshments were served, after which Miss Helen Wells entertained those present with an Italian love song. rendered in its native language which elicited an encore. In response to the en- core she sang the Alabama Coon.

T. three-fourths of the Rough Riders were democrats, the paT-v has certainly shown its iugratituda and the less reference made to the matter by the "unwasbed" the more votes Colonel Wilson will get.
