ships digging I'm mounds OF earth piled
up by the explosions OF the prejectiles
from the heavy guns for bodies, while
their heads were famed by the wings Of
the black scavengers Of the battlefield.
The two hilltops seem literally blown
away. These marked the places where
the 200 pound charges OF guncotton
blown by the Vesuvius landed. But the
most ominous token of death flew from
Moro castle. The saffron flag of Spain
was half-masted for several hours. The
significance of this is not known. IL is
not customary to half-mast flags. but
possibly some Spanish leader was killed
by the heavy fire of our guns.
There was evident decentralization
among the Spanish troops during the
bomba rdment. Officers could be seen
with drawn swords driving the men 10
the guns, but even then they could not
be forced 10 stay so long as our guns
were directed at them. The fifteen min
utes' night work OF the Vesuvius had
shattered their nerves. 1t is believed
by some that the 13-inch projectile fired
from the Texas which was reported to
have exploded the powder magazine in
one of the western batteries did not fall
in the battery. but went beyond and
blew up one of the ships in the harbor.
A dramatic incident Of the lombard
ment was the act OF a Spanish officer
who bravely ran along the parapet un-
der heavy fire, encouraging his men to
stand by their guns.
Shot and she'll rained about him, and
after one terrific explosion he was seen
no more and the parapet had disappear
ed. He could not have escaped death.
From the foretop Of the Brooklyn. $500
yards distant, the men in the grounds
could be noticed. but a minute later
dust and flying debris would take their
places, and when the smoke cleared
away only a spot of red earth could be
seen-guns and gunners had been swept
away. 1t was the most deadly and de-
structive bombardment of the war thus
far. Scarcely a shot from the big guns
Of the squadron went astray. The aim
of our gunners was superb and not only
were the coast forts annihilated but the
batteries on Cayo Smith up the harbor,
were destroyed.
The orders OF Rear Admiral Sampson
were: First silence the batteries on the
shore and then continue firing until the
Notifications are reduced" This order
was strictly obeyed.

SUNDAY AT CAMP THOMAS.
Notorious Resort Is Closed and the Day Is

Chickamauga Park, Ca, June 90
Yesterday was an exceptionally beauti-
full day at Camp Thomas, and cool
breeze continuously astir made park
life delight. 1t was significantly a day
of rest among the soldiers. All drills
were omitted and Sunday was generally
observed In this respect the day was
somewhat in contrast with many of its
predecessors. The chaplains Of the
various regiments held services and the
Y. NJ. c. A, and evangelistic cohorts
were actively at work. The reverence
with which these services were listened
to and the general good order which
prevailed among the camps were signif-
cant of a high moral tone which per-
vades the entire army.
The soldiers were forbidden TO con-
gregate at points of amusement and
practically all remained in camp with
the exception Of a considerable number
who had permission TO spend the day

Sensational News Not Expected.

Washington, June 20.-The transports
with the troops for Santiago are eX-
pected TO arrive not later than some
time today. but nothing of special inter-
est beyond their arrival is anticipated
for two or three days at the earliest.
The landing Of an army on a hostile
coast, it is pointed out, is not a matter
Of a few hours even under favorable
circumstances. and therefore the Off
Gals will not be surprised if a forward
land movement is not begun before late
in the present week.

San Francisco. June 2o.-The govern
nent has taken a firm stand toward
securing transports for the troops, and
from this time forth impressment
will be the rule until enough vessels
have been secured to carry the army
to the Philippines The Pacific Mail
company's steamer Newport has been
impressed. This makes the sixth vessel
owned by the Pacific Mail company
which is in the service of the govern
ment. The steamer was thoroughly
fumigated. and has gone to the mail
dock. Her cargo will be discharged as
rapidly as possible, and then the work
of fitting her out will begin The Peru
is due from the Orient on June "a and
the City OF Rio de Janeiro follows her
on July s. Both steamers will probably
be taken by the government, although
their impressment will leave the Pa
cifc Mail company without a steamer
on the route between here and the
Orient.
Might as Well Go Out Of Business.
The taking of the Sydney, Colon and
Newport leaves the mail company's
Panama line in a crippled condition,
and il was for this reason that the COM
pany objected to giving up the
Newport. The mail company is not
selling tickets for passage on the Peru
for the Orient, fact which seems to
indicate a belief by the company's Off
GERS that she will be seized as a trans
port. The Alameda is due from Aus
tralia and Honolulu on June % and the
government agents will swoop down on
her. This will leave the Oceanic Steam
ship company with only the Mariposa
on the Australian route and no steamer
on the Honolulu route. The Pacific
Steam Whaling company's steamer
Valencia has been chartered. II is said
she will not carry more than 500 men.
The City OF Para is being prepared for
occupation by the troops.
Rumor Had Grain of Fact.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
Camp Merritt over the report TO the
effect that one of the most noted and
daring Of Spanish spies had been cap
tured in camp. 1t was reported that
the man had enlisted in one of the
regular regiments Of infantry. An in
vestigation of the rumor revealed the
fact that the spy has not as yet been
apprehended, but il is known that the
government has recently received re-
liable information that leads it to be-
lieve that Spain has informers in Camp
Merritt. 1t can be reliably stated that
the government fears a certain we'll

present is withheld.

lowed, as natural sequence, that in
1890 Baker was found prancing up
and down the banks of the Watonwan
river as the anti-Republican candidate
for Congress. He gave John Lind a
close race but not close enough for his
success.
Now the public is called upon to be-
lieve that Baker "has no ambitions
and wants nothing" except perhaps
to be afforded the opportunity to pose
at Republican meetings and tell those
present, as he told the people at Man
kato, that "The time has come when
the Republicans of Minnesota must
nominate their best men for Office"
And so they will, General Baker, and
