Their back from the sea line than the
fertilization just described Here are
the two modern l5-centi,netre rifles
which our men wanted to capture and
to turn against Santiago. and which
were among the most active in replying
to the American fire. The men who
worked the rifles were behind many feet
of hard cement in square blocks, banked
on the outside by a slipping mass Of
earth and small stones. The carriage of
the easter1nost l6-centimetre rifle was
struck and very slightly damaged.
Here the hill shows some signs of
fire. Shells have plowed up the earth
and cleared out the trees and the ground
is covered with bits of shells that have
torn through the underbrush. Men who
were around the harbor during the fir
ing have many tales to tell. They tell
of certain ball that swept the forward
deck of the Infanta Maria Teresa when
she was hiding behind headland in the
bay, killing a number of sailors and the
second commander of the vessel: then
passing through. the ships paint room.
scattering color all over the cattle on
the lower deck, and saving the ship's
butcher his labor on five of his charges.
| There is. too. a local tale of how Ger
vera advised Linares to surrender the
city to the Americans, telling him his
case was hopeless and that he would
only continue to lose men and be
| forced to give in at the end.
AS the Infanta Maria Teresa steamed
| through the narrows to her fate the Cos
| sips say her band played and her crew
cheered for the honor of Spain. The mu-
sic sounded clear in MORO, and hone
| leaped in the hearts of the watching Of
| fcers there as they heard the stirring
strains. Then there is story that the
Spaniarts carried their wounded from
tie batteries into the city hospitals dur
| ing the night, in order that the peorl.
and the army might be Kept in igno-
rance OF their losses; and another story
| that the broken and DESTROYED guns
| we're etrovn into the har6or under COW
| sr oi darkness with the same mislead-
| ing purpose. And there is yet another
| that a shot killed six men at a gun dur
ing the firing of June 5. and of the mid
night burial Of gun and men behind the
very trenches where the gun was shat
tered.
The karbor people are coming back
dcy by day to their old avocations. and
| some are as much surprised to find their
homes still Uninjured as others are to
learn that the batteries which were con-
| TiGered impregnGble have surrendered to
an enemy whose persistent effort did
| not result in any injury that could not
be repaired by few men in a short time
and at 4 small expense.

HOW NEVIS GAINED HIS LAuEELs.
He and His Mate Had Captured Half a
Dozen of the Dons.

Oh the DOus.
Meanwhile the gunboat Maple had
drawn up and Commander Clover or
dered her in to the work of rescue. With
guns ready she steamed toward the
schooner, but the sight that greeted
the Naples crew was not what was ex-
pected. Nevis and his companion sat
at one end of the boat attempting to
| navigate her out of the harbor. Each
| had his rifle across his knee and was
keeping wary eye on a party Of half
dozen covering Spania rds huddled
in the other END of the boat Tne
Maple asked for information and Of
| fered Nevis a tow. but he replied with q
joke and declined the proffered assist
snce. Then IL developed that in going
In to anchor he had observed two other
| small Spanish beats near the wreck
Of the Santo Domingo and resolved t.
capture them also. He knew IL was
hazardous work, but buff carried
him through. He took the Spanish col
ors of the schooner, ran them up and
| boldly sailed in.
There were six men on the other two
boats, and they watched the approach
of their supposed compatriots with a
I calmness that speedily changed to con-
sternation when Nevis and the other
! jackie suddenly shipped their rifles TO
! their shoulders and demanded an imme-
date surrender. The scared Spanish
| seamen lost no time in complying. and
had thS unique experience of surrender
| ing to their own flag. Then, scorning
all aid, Nevis took them out to his ship,
and in the most matter-of-fact manner
reported his adventure to his astonished
| commander. The capture was no mean
one. for these men gave important in
formation to the American ship.
They were residents of the little town
of Cortez, province OF Pinar del Rio,
situated about two miles from the SantO
Domingo wreck on what is called Pirates
Lagoon, because in ancient days il was
a favorite resort of the brethren OF
Captain Kidd. The town has popuia-
ton of 1900 and the only reason for its
existence is that it serves as a depot for
the Vueita Abajo tobacco district and
contains a number Of large tobacco
warehouses. The Bancroft and Eagle
would have taken the town, which Is
defended only by leo soldiers: but they
could not spare a permanent force t.
protect the non-combatant women and
| children.
