Two Dangerous vessels.

The Spanish torpedo boat destroyers Furor
and Terror were built at Glasgow for Spain
and completed their official trials in No
vember, 1896. They are bigger than any of
their type in the British fleet, being 22O feet
long and % feet broad. Their armament
consists of two 14-pound rapid-fire Maxim
Nordenfelds, two 16-pounders of the same
caliber and two 37mm automatic Maxims
There are also two 14-inch deck pivoted
torpedo tubes on the Schwarzkopf system.
The mean of runs on the measured mile
was one point over twenty-eight knots,
which speed was also maintained on a two
hours run in hard southwesterly wind.
During the trial of the Furor that vessel
had a full load of seventy-five tons on
board, which is considerably greater than
the load carried by the destroyers of the
British and other governments.

ports at Tampa and Mobile, it would not be
possible for the troop ships to have arrived
by this time on the south coast of Cuba.
The Resolute, reported yesterday as hav.
ing been al the Mole St. Nicholas Haiti for
brief space of time, is not a troop ship in
the strict sense of the term. She is a ma
rine transport, and has on board eight hun
dred marines taken to Key West on the
Panther. After lying in the harbor for sew
eral weeks suffering from close confine-
ment on board ship, the men were landed
and went into camp near Tampa, where
they were thoroughly drilled The Reso-
lutte picked them up about a week ago and
started for Admiral SIMPSONS feet. The
marines were not to be used, as was at first
supposed, on board the fighting ships of the
fleet, but were intended to constitute a
landing force TO support the fleet in an
attack upon any fortified point which 1t
was decided to capture and occupy Now
that the plan of campaign against Santiago
is understood TO contemplate cooperation
between the fleet under Sampson and
United States troops under General Shafter.

HAVANA, June 6, p. mat o'clock
this morning twenty-four vessels of the
American fleet opened fire on the forts at
the entrance to Santiago harbor and along
the coast line. The firing ceased about II
o'clock. Further details are not yet known
here.
Yesterday Colonel Aldea, with a Spanish
force, sustained a fire near Punta Cabrera
from the insurgents on the land side and
from the American war ships.
The Spanish forces are well intrenched
on the line from siboney to Aguaderos. and
to-day they checked an attempt of the
American forces to land and repelled them.
1t is understood here that the members
Of the Merrimac crew who are imprisoned
at Santiago are well treated by the Span
ish commander.

LONDON, June THE Hong-k corro-
spondent of the Standard says: "Advices
from Manila say Admiral Dewey has gath
cred the steamers now blockaded in the rlv-
er to lie off Cavite in readiness to receive
foreigners. The Spaniards are losing arms,
ammunition and field pieces almost daily, so
persistent are the rebels attacks. The ma
tives are focking to Aguinaldo's standard.
He is, on the whole, conducting the cam
paign on humane principles. In the course
of pitched battle on May 80 a number Of
native auxiliaries deserted the Spanish coll
ors for the insurgents. Judging from the
general tenor of the news from Manila there
is reason to believe that the city will fall
into Dewey's hands before the arrival OF
tne American troops"

Many officers of the fleet believe that a
darkened railway train that was moving
along the shore was the real object of the
bombardment instead of a destroyer. No
wreckage had been found no dead bodies
have been noticed. and it is possible that
the torpedoes were some of those fired at
the collier Merrimac' when Lieut. Hobson
sunk her, which subsequently fioated out

m'ELDowNEY REMARKS
fells what the soldiers Really Had
No Long List of "Neeessaries" But
the Simplest Outfit Possible.

The Army and Navy Journal pub
fishes list of necessaries for an OIL
Ger in field service which, taken col
lectively, contains more personal be-
longings than could have been found
in Lees army the last year of the war,
says Colonel Bob McEldowney in the
Wetzel Democrat.
We desire 20 inform this luxurious
editor that we have had some exper-
fence in this line of necessaries while
in the field, and that our tooth brush
was the 'chaweda end OF a spicewood
stick and that we brushed our hair
by racing through the chincapns,
sometimes from choice, sometimes
from necessity, but voluntarily not
oftener than once a week
We owned one shirt and that we
washed monthly in the pellucid
waters with our own tender hands,
using tadpoles for soap.
Our regimental tailor made us a
superb pair of army pants out of
our lone blanket, and we were as
sockless as Simpson. Our army cow
hides were rolled about our ankles
like the graceful folds Of rhinoceros
hides. Our mattress was the cold
bosom OF Mother Earth, and as for
mosquito bars, there was not a mos
quito in Chickahominy that dared
tackle US. Our campaign hat was
modelled after a coffee pot with the
lid down in front, and the only medi-
cine chest we needed was a tin box of
paste for the seams OF our garments,
to paralyze intruders from attempt
ing to make Typographical survey
of our person. But our Bermuda sa-
Der was as bright as a Bryan dollar,
as were the guns Of our subordinates,
and all cur haverSacks were loaded
with deep sea saunders called dor
hicks, made Of unsifted yellow corn
meal, which when taken inwardly
had somewhat rasping and singular
but finally pleasing effect. Upon GER
tain occasions they were fred at the
enemy from smooth bore cannon,
with such terrable results as to cause
the army correspondents to telegraph
their newspapers that the rebels were
using new projectile, which ought
to be declared contrary to the articles
and usages of war amongst civilized
nations.
And all this is no lie.

We will not retain in our service any
