ZIG LOSS OF LIFE.

Belief that Scores of Spaniartls Per.
ished at Santiago.
There is scarcely any doubt that much
greater damage than,was at first supposed
was inflicted upon the Spaniards in SAM
tiago harbor during SIMPSONS bombard-
ment. Many shells are believed to have
fallen into the city itself, and when all
the facts are known after the port has
fallen into Admiral SIMPSONS hands it
will probably be found that the loss of life
was very great.
The bombarding vessels formed in two
divisions, the one under Rear Admiral
Sampson being led by the flagship New
York. This division turned. eastward IN
front Of the harbor, the flagship being fol-
lowed by the battleships Oregon and
Iowa. the cruiser New Orleans, the Dol
phin and the Yankee. The other division.
under Commodore Schley on the Brook
lyn, turned eastward with the battleshlps
Massachusetts and Texas, the cruiser
Marblehead, the Vixen and the SuNanee
following in the order named.
From all these vessels there was ter7
rife fire for nearly three hours. The bat
teres on the western entrance to the har-
Dor are on crest $50 feet above the wat
er. This high elevation made them Diff
cult to hit, but the entire hill was ploWed
up by the heavy shells. In many cases
the shells are known to have passed over
the hill and undoubtedly struck the city,
itself, as well as the shipping in the har-
Dor. Thirty-four shells were fired from
the Iowa's 12-inch guns and thirty-eight
shells from her S-inch guns. There were
few shots from her secondary battery.
Other vessels engaged in the lombard
ment fred proportionate number Of
shots, and as every one was well aimed
the damage done must have been tremen-

ON TO PORTO RICO,
An Invasion of the Island Has Been
Determined Upon.

An Invasion of the Island Has Been
Determined Upon.
The campaign against Porto Rico has
been determined upon. The expedition
which started from Tampa goes in two sec
tons, one to land on the north coast, not
far from San Juan, and the other on the
south coast at Ponce, which has a fine
harbor and a military road connecting it
with San Juan. Ponce is about seventy
five miles from San Juan, but this mill
tary road runs through the best portion
of the Island, and troops marching that
way could clean out all Spanish garrisons
found in the towns in the interior. They
could also gather up many insurgents to
swell the army into formidable proper
lions by the time it reached San Juan.
1t is expected that such campaign will
destroy SPANS hold On Porto Rico COM
plete,y by the time San Juan is lombard
ed by Sampson and compelled to surren-

Washington special:
The news from Santiago Tuesday was
of a stirring character. The lombard
ment of the Notifications at the mouth
of the harbor, which began on Saturday,
was resumed Monday morning at 7:3O
and continued until II o'clock. Evidently
the attack was intended to cover the land
ing, probably of marines, from the fleet,
whose purpose it was to establish depot,
land supplies and siege guns, communi-
cate with the Insurgents, and prepare the
way for the invasion by the army.
The bottled-up Cervera, who would send
as roseate dispatch as possible, reported
to the Spanish Government that six
American vessels had bombarded the for
tiications and Santiago, but that the dam
age was "unimportant," though he con-
coded that six men were killed and seven
teen wounded ON the Reina Mercedes,
which would indicate that important dam
age was inflicted upon that cruiser and
that three officers were killed and eigh-
teen soldiers wounded, probably in the
engagement with the marines. Admiral
Sampson, on the other hand, notified the
Navy Department that the forts were

SMASHED BY oREGoN's SHELL,
Sinking of the Spanish Destroyer
Terror Off Santiago.

Sinking of the Spanish Destroyer
Terror OFF Santiago.
The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror and her crew of sixty men lie at
the bottom Of the sea, sent there by a
single shell from thirteen-inch gun Of
the battleship Oregon. Not a sign of the
vessel has been seen since she tried to run
into Santiago Monday night. That she
was destroyed with all hands there is no
practical doubt. That the destroyed YES
sci was the Terror, left behind at Martin
ique, since reported at Porto Rico, and
trying to rejoin Admiral Cervera, is prob
able.
She was first detected by the New Or
leans, which was on guard at the eastern
end Of the blockading feet. The New
Orleans threw her searchlight on the
stranger, but the latter slipped from I'M
der it's beams. The New York and the
Marblehead, which were next in line, were
signaled, and the alarm was passed to all
the feet. The thanking vessels were Or
dered to close in and the New York,
Brooklyn and Oregon steamed toward the
shore in pursuit. The Spaniard was still
crowding on all speed and hugging the
shore, and was now only mile from the
Cuban entrance. But the New York lay
full across her path. and escape was i'm
possible. Then the Oregon got the range
after several efforts. A 13-inch shell from
the Oregon struck the plucky Spanish
craft full amidships The chase was end
ed, and the Spanish vessel was only a
tangled mass of steel on the sea bottom.
The searchlights showed only black wat
er where the fugitive had been. The guns,
which had walked the echoes Of the cliffs
for nearly an hour, were silent. The mid
night tragedy of which some three score
Spanish sailors were victims was ended,
and the American warships moved out to
sea. The Maine had been remembered

Twenty-six Thousand Men Under Gens

The last Of the first expedition to Cuba
left Tampa Monday night, forty six trans
ports carrying 10000 men with horses,
wagons, artillery, siege guns and oil nee
essary equipments and supplies for cam
paign of six months. Gen. Shafter is in
command. Twenty thousand troops went
from Mobile. Assuming that forty-six
transports can take $4,000 men to Cuba
in seven days, and giving them three days
to unload and four days to get back tu
Tampa, which is very short tine, two
weeks will be used up in the round trip. 1t
will require another week for them to
take on the second load and seven days
more to land it in Cuba. or ten days if
they are going to Porto Rico. The pres
ent feet of transports will therefore re-
quire at least fifteen weeks, or until the
middle Of September to transfer 10000
men, or one-third Of our army, across the
gulf stream.

UNDER A HOT FIRE.
Every Spanish Gun at Santiago Was
Trained on the Merrimac.


Trained on the Merrimac.
Commander Miller, who commanded the
collier Merrimac before she was turned
over to Lieut.. Hobson to be sunk, and sew
eral officers of the vessel came aboard
the Maytlower and told in detail the story
of the sinking Of the ship.
When the Merrimac started toward the
harbor the fash of single gun on the
MORO was seen from the deck of the New
York, though the report could not be
heard. 1t was followed in q few moments
by sheets of fire all along the shore. The
Spaniards had evidently turned every gun
on the ship. The Merrimac went straight
on to a point where the channel was only
400 feet wide. Shot and shell were fall
ing all about her, but none seemed to hit
her. When this narrow point in the har-
Dor was reached Lieut.. Hobson headed
her in shore, and dropped an anchor only
a few feet from the shore.
Before starting the life raft of the Mer-
rimac had been prepared, and torpedoes
were ready along the deck. The Merri-
mac had seven transverse bulkheads.
Torpedoes were arranged so that they
could be quickly anchored over the side
of the vessel ten feet below the water line,

The moment the anchor was dropped
Lieut.. Hobson and her crew dropped these
torpedoes over the side and then opened
every seacock there was in the ship and
all the port holes Meantime the guns
kept booming and the fash Of the burning
powder lit up the harbor, so rapid was the
firing. The fleet was so far off shore that

they did not hear the guns, but could tell
by the flashes of the holiness of the fire.
The current was running out of the har-
Dor and as the Merrimac lay at anchor
she swung lazily around with it. Every
thing was open and she had begun to fill
before she was broadside in the passage.
Hobson and his men waited patiently I'M
til they could drop another anchor, this
one from the stern, so that it would hold
her directly across the passage. She was
so long tina there was only thirty-one feet
of chanae, on each side that she did not
occupy.
Hobson and his men launched the life
raft and dropped down on board it, taking
with them the wires with which the torpe-
does were to be exploded. The thunder
of the shore batteries and the rattle and
clash Of musketry continued. The water
was foaming with the commotion made by
the shells and bullets. Hobson and his
men foated down stream 100 yards, drag
gins the wires out after them. This was
the distance for the contact to be made
and it was then done. The water about
the Merrimac was lifted up by the explo-
sion and when it had settled again the
ship was at the bottom of the passage.

Her cruising armament had been greatly

by a 13-inch shell from one Of Uncle
Sans battleships, and the Madrid re-
ports describe the shell as doing terrible
destruction. It disabled her machinery
and killed sixty of her crew and one Of

WATCH FOR FIRST CHAPTERS.
Poor Girls.

The poorest girls are those who are
not taught to work. Rich parents have
petted them, and they have been taught
to despise labor and possibly to look
upon working woman as belonging to
a lower order and have been accustom-
ed to depend upon others for living
and are perfectly helpless. The most
forlorn women belong to this class.
1t is the duty of parents to protect
their daughters from this deplorable
condition. A great wrong is done to
them if they neglect it. Girls should be
taught to earn their living.
The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly
round, and the rich are likely to become
poor and the poor rich. Skill added to
labor is no disadvantage to rich and in
dispensable to poor. Well to do parents
must educate their daughters to work.
No reform is more imperative than this.
