The Real Stuff.

Ed Campbell of Clarion, now one of
the crew of the U. S. S. Brooklyn, off
Santiago Cuba, writes home under date
of June Sd as follows:
We are having the real stuff here
now and it will be sometime perhaps
before we are able to take this place
and when we DO get it, it will be found
that it has cost rs dearly The Cuban
army has surrounded the town on land
and we hold the coast so we may starve
them out The Spanish fleet is inside
and think afraid to come ont and give
us battle. They cannot come out now
If they wish to- the entrance to the bay
is very narrow and last night a volun
teer crew took the Collier Merrilhac in
to the entrance and sank her making
the enemy's feet prisoners. The men
who volunteered to take her IN have
not returned yet, they pro obably all
were killed. As soon as she neared the
entrance they opened fire on her with
heavy guns from all directions and also
light artillery
She kept on and when she was in the
right place her crew blew her bottom
out and she sank. The firing kept up
for nearly an hour and the crew if not
killed before We're surely killed when
they took the boats as volley after vol
ley from infantry was delivered.
Sharks are very thick and by jumping
INTO the water sure death waited them
Were not these very braYe men2 They
knew they were to have very little show
for their lives when they volunteered
voluteered to get the vessel ready and
worked like a mule to get things out of
her | got a barrel of sugar, ten pounds
of tea, 30 pounds of coffee, one box raj
sins, and various sundries ont of her,
barrel after barrel of beans etc, were
broken and thrown overheard, hun
dreds of dollars worth of provisions
were destroyed to prevent them falling
into the enemy's hands.
| haye the honor of firing the first
shot from the Flying Squadron some
time ago in a night torpedo attack on
our fleet, and hope may fire the last
