Vesu7ius Killed 100.

The unique dynamite cruiser Vesu
vius has joined Admiral SIMPSONS

Spaniards called her The hurler of
earthquakes" Commander John E.
Pillsbury talked interestingly OF his
vessel.
Her guns said be, "were very
effective in their work. The Vesu-

The dynamite cruiser only fred 26
shots at the batteries defending the
entrance to Santiago harbor. The
charges of gun cotton varied from
100 to 200 pounds, the aggregate OF
the explosive hurled at Santiago's
defenses being estimated at 1900
pounds, or as one Of the officers put
it, Ten times as much as would be
necessary to blow up every ship now
in New York bay, including the
squadron over there, and the count
less other boats.'
Captain Caucas, of the Spanish
flagship Maria Teresa, told Captain
Pillsbury that one of the Vesuvius
shells struck the barracks between
the lighthouse and Moro Castle and
killed over 100 soldiers.

commanded the expedition, While
| under him served his two brothers.
| On JuneG, 1852, the fleet cast anchor
before Havana with an army of H.
900 men on board.
A. daybreak on the 7th the seige
commenced.
The art of waging war in the hot
climates is chosen the cool season of
the year. Unfortunately for the
British Caba was extremely hot and
unhealthy 10 the month of June, and
it was therefore the very worst sea-
soo in which the seige OF Havana
could have been attempted.
After Havana had fallen the Earl
of Albemarle wrote home to the sec
retary of state: 1--WE are now better
acquainted with the climate than we
We're when the present expedition
was undertaken and it is Gel tain that
the only season in the yeal for troops
to act in is from the beginning Ct
November to the latter end Of March"
The MORO fort was the chief point
of resistance; it guarded the entrance
to the harbor of Havana. Support
ing the guns of the fort were eleven
Spanish men-of-war. Six of these
carried seventy guns. one carried
ninety four and the remainder were
sixty gun ships. It took three weeks
to get the seige guns landed and lin
position. The Spaniards fought
bravely and did great damage to the
attacking fleet.
By the middle of July the defense
was practically at an end. On Aug.
II articles of capitulation were sign
ed and the victors proudly set up
the British flag in Havana after
splendid fight for the richest city in
the Indies.
At the assault of Moro 706 Span
iards were killed, wounded and taken
prisoners. The Spanish loss alto
gether was not less than 5000 men.
The British losses were $50 during
the fight and by the end of October
(tbe men had been dying oflike flies
from sickness owing to the climate)
the death roll arose to the enormous
number of 4,708.
Although Albemarle sent off a
great number of survivors to New
York to recruit their health the NOR
tality was very great there, and he
eventually found himself in command
OF only 1000 men. tits interesting
to note in passing that his estimate
of the force necessary to hold Cuba
was G,000 men. Spain to-day has
more than 100000 men in Cuba.
On FEBRUARY 10, 1862. the treaty of
Paris was concluded between Eng
land, France and Spain, and Cuba
passed again under Spanish rule, be-
ing given up almost for the asking.

that not an officer was brought to

his head and then replied: "Wsl

beds in it, with a curtin between,
there is lady in the north bed, but
the curtain will answer the purpose
of double room, maybe" Oh,
thanks" replied the traveller, as he
picked up his grip and started up
stairs. The landlord showed him
his bed and bade him good night
and went down stairs. Pretty soon
down came the fellow with his shoes

R:ply to Town Council Of Chapin
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor or the Dlspatch:
Pardon me for requesting space in
your columns to reply, mildly and
truthfu)ly to Town Council OF
Chaplin" To borrow a campaign
phrase, The CALLED jade winces."
While I dislike newspaper contro-
versv, l cannot remain silent when
| accused of speaking (or writine)
falsely, when I tried as I said in my
article, to give truthful statement.
Yet the Town Council" brands my
account as untrue while their own
differs very little from mine. AS to
their having notified our pastor the
afternoon before, we knew nothing o
it, as none of US saw him that after
noon or the next day, as owing to
pressing engagement be was not
present. We certainly were informed
on the morning of 9th that the Town
Council at first wanted Us to pay S5
license, but after considering the
matter, decided to reduce it to $3.50
That this was told to my informant,
early in the moring, by the one sent
to collect the license fee We have not
a shadow Of doubt, else how would
he have known that that body had
discussed it at all?
There is truth in my statement
after all however much the Town
Council would like to impress the
public to the contrary.
It seems odd that the Town Cum
Gil should take up the idea of raising
their fee just prior to this church
barbecue, if their feelings toward our
band was one of good will, and why
should they have demanded this
money paid in advance under threat.
Did they think we were dishonest?
Is it customary to collect such dues
upon all similar occasions in advance?
Furthermore, what more need had
they for police than if there had
been just a picnic dinner' The re-
union whould have been held there
anyway, consequently the crowd just
as great. We do not fatter ourselves
that anybody came just to eat
barbecue dinner with US. The
dinner was furnished for the crowd,
and not The crowd gathered for the
dinner.
I sincerely hope, that those who
did in anyway lend us helping hand
will accept our hearty thanks, and
not think them any the less sincere
from their coming at this late day, as
it was unintentionally omitted in my
first.
I had not visited Chaplin since the
death of it's owner and founder, the
grand old man whose name it bears,
who was known and loved by all OF
us, and we feel confident had this
occurred during his lifetime we
would have received a different re-
ception.
! We will pull off our ''fault-fnding
glasses" throw the mantle Of charity
around your faults, and make you
solemn promise that, from now, hence
forth and forevermore, We will not
impose ourselves, in like manner
uoon your hospitality. Neither re-
fractions nor apologies are in order.
