y few shots levelled the battlements until
the old castle was pitiful sight.
When the firing ceased Lieut.. Delehanty
of the Suwanee was anxious 10 finish his

When the smoke of the Suwanees first
shot cleared away only two red steamers
of the flag were left. The shell had gone
through the center of the bunting.
A delighted yell broke from the crew
of the Suwanee.
Two of three minutes later the SGwanee
fired again.
A huge cloud of debris rose from the
base of the Flagstaff. For few seconds
it was impossible to tell what had been
the effect of the shot. Then it was seen
the shell had only added to the ruin of the

There was breathless silence among the
watching crews. They crowded on the
ships decks and all eyes were on that tat
tered rag. bending toward the earth from
the top of what once had been a grand old
castle. But it was only bending, not yet
down.
Lieut.. Commander Delehanty and Lieut..
Blue took their time. The Suwanee
changed her position slightly. Then
puff of smoke shot out from her side and
up went a spouting cloud of debris from
the parapet and down fell the banner of
Spain.
Such yells from the flagship will prob
ably never be heard again. There was
more excitement than is witnessed at the
finish of a college boat race or popular
race between first-class thoroughbreds on
some big track.
The Suwannee's last shot had struck
right at the base of the flagstaff and had
blown it clear Of the wreckage, which had
held it.
"Well done" signaHed Admiral Sampson

AT 11:3O Gen. Duffield signalled that his
scouts reported that no damage had been
done to the Spanish rifle pits by the shells
from the ships, and Admiral Sampson told
him they had been hit several times, but
there was no one in the pits.
However. the Suwanee was ordered to
fire a few more shots in their direction.
At 1918 p. M, the New York, having dis
continued firing at Aguadores, commenced
firing S-inch shells clear over the gully

Every five minutes the shells went roar
ing over the hillside. What destruction
they wrought it was impossible to tell as

piled. There is not a spaniard left in the

The hospital ship Relief which has been

She was scheduled to have sailed yes

The Relief has been fitted out In an ad-

full corps of competent assistants and
a complete outfit for surgical work in
cases where this is necessary. Accommo-
dations for probably 500 persons have been
provided, and in addition there has been
installed in the ship a carbonating plant
and an ice manufacturing apparatus
which has facilities for making a great
deal more than is needed aboardship.
The surplus will be used in supplying
the hospitals ashore an the immediate vi
cinity of the ships. OF course, the greater
number of cases Of sickness and wounded
primarily win be treated in the regimental
hospitals and the division hospitals, and
the Relief win be utilized TO a great ex-

should be brought here for treatment.

While the troops were making their adj

Gloucester ran close into Aguadores and
knocked the Spanish fort to pieces.
The fort, large stone structure, and the
surrounding walls wlthstood the lombard
ment for over an hour, but a shell finally
tore through the southeast corner and the
tower, bearing the Spanish flag, fell with
a crash. Several shells were thrown into
the rifle pits to the right of the fort, but
the Spanish, apparently, fed at the first
fire. No shot was fired from the shore.
