vessels, including the Brooklyn, the flag
ship of the squadron; Massachusetts,
Texas, Iowa, Marblehead, Nashville, Scor-
pion and two torpedo boats.
When the firing began many of the men
in the city whose sympathies have been
with the insurgents started for the insur-
gent lines, which are but short distance
from the town, to offer their services.
The fighting began at just about O'Clock,
when the signal to begin the battle was
displayed on the Brooklyn.
Owing to the height Of the hill on which
the Moro Castle is situated at the entrance
to the harbor, it was impossible for the
Americans to run ashore and elevate their
guns to sufficient height to do any dam
age to the old Notifications. Consequently
the big ships with the heavy rifles stood
some distance off shore, from where they
could pour in more effective fire, while
the smaller vessels, nearer the shore, de-
voted themselves to attacking the sand and
mortar batteries on the shore beneath the
Moro.
By standing off shore the big ships had
plenty of water to manPuvre in. They
passed to and fro before the entrance,
steadily pouring an awful fire upon the de-
voted walls of the Moro.
Some of the shells from the big rifles went
clear over the Moro, landing in the Estrella
Point battery, Santa Catalina fort, and the
other Notifications on the same side OF the
entrance as the Moro, but to the north
ward of it.

three OF Admiral Cervera's squadron were
living some distance below the city, and II
Is possible that they may have been en-
gagged. They could not be seen from the
city, and this probably accounts for the In
deflniteness of the statements regarding
the squadron's participation in the fight.
Judging from the reports of the fight
that have been received here, 1t is almost
certain that little, If any, damage was done
to the Americans.
1t NAV be that Commodore Sch1ey did
enter the harbor for short distance.

more favorable opportunity for proceed
ing up the bay to engage the Spanish war
ships.
During the fighting number OF troops
were hastily despatched from the city, and
1t ia Judged from this that the Spanish
losses In the batteries must have been
heavy, and that the artilerymen were
needed to man the guns.
The despatch says that the Americans
we're compelled to retire after the battle
had lasted about two hours. The firing
ceased shortly after o'clock. Just before
1t ceased the cannonading was the heaviest
of the day.
During the engagement large number
OF shells fell into the bay. raising large
masses OF water as they exploded.
or course all the information that has
reached this point is from Spanish sources.
The first engagement between Commo-
dore Sehley and the Spanish fleet COM
manded by Admiral Cervera took place
Tuesday night when two torpedo boat de-
stroyers about midnight slipped quietly
ont of Santiago harbor bent on mischief:
They crept along in the shadow OF old
Castle MORO and the mountain for two
miles to the westward before they were dis
covered by the lookout on the Texas,
where the men were sleeping by the guns
SO that the battleship could be quickly
manned.
An instant after the lookout gave the
alarm the white stream OF tho Texas
searchlight flashed along the shadow un-
der the mountain, revealing the desperate
game of the imprisoned Spaniards.
The torpedo boat destroyers when they
saw that they had been discovered dashed
toward the Texas, which. with the cruiser
Brooklyn close beside it, was lying in
shore.
The Texas promptly opened fire with her
port FORWARD batteries and her crack SIX
Founders. and the hiss of the -pierc-
ing shells thrown in the direction OF the
advancing torpedo boat destroyers startled
the entire feet The Brooklyn also came
into action, firing several rounds at the
Spanish craft. but the bulk OF the shooting
was done blythe Texas.
The entire fleet went to ogeneral quarters,
and soon their searchlights were playing
around the narrow entrance OF the harbor
in the expectation that Admiral Cervera's
whole fleet would emerge from its haven
and fight it out.
The torpedo boat destroyers made a
plucky dash through the rain OF shells
from battleship and cruiser, but foiled In

This is the most powerful anti-Spanish
expedition ever sent to Cuba. Nearly 400
men We're landed and 800 OF them are Gu
bans. The others are Americans. The en-
gineer corps of the expedition is composed
entirely of Americans, under Aurelan
Ladd, and includes experts in expo-
sives. Three of the four physicians
with the party are Americans. The men
were dressed In canvas uniforms furnished
by the United States Government, and the
Commissary Department had rations
enough to last fifteen days after the land
ing. The pack-train consisted OF seventy
live mules and twenty-five horses. The ex-
petition carried 1000 rifles and 1000 900
rounds of ammunition for General Calixto

MAKING DELICATE WIRES
seme So Small that No Gauge Gan
Measure Them.


Gold wire is mentioned In connection
with the decoration of the sacerdotai
robes of Aaron, 1t Is true, yet the Oldest
pieces OF wire of which the world mas
any knowledge, says Science Strings
is specimen made by the NineVites
some 500 years b. C. Solid gold Drawn
wire is now practically unknown In the
trade. However. gold wire Is made III
the following manner: Silver rods are
coated with gold In proportion OF per
cent. of gold to the weight Of silver TO
be manipulated. When the gliding -
performed the rods are about one and
three -fourths inches In diameter by two
feet six inches long and weigh about
400 ounces each. The two metals are
tlen drawn down together, nrst
through steel dies and afterward
through drilled rubies or diamonds.
The process of drilling the gems is kep'
secret. A better idea Of the minute
noss of some of these borings may,
however. be learned from the fact that
the holes cannot be discerned py the
naked eye, and only by the aid Oh
magnifying glass can one be convinced
that they really exist.
For the manufacture of silver ana
silver gilt wires, the silver Is some
times bored out and internal copper
rods inserted, and they are then drawn
together Wires as fine as human
hair. for example, 003 of an inch III
diameter, and even finer, can be gauged
by instruments termed "micrometers.
The scales for weighing the gold coin
at the mint are so exquisitely hne tney
can detect the most minute parucie
added to either side of the balance.
There are fine woven wire gauzes ana
cloth, some of which are made win as
many as 10000 meshes to the square
inch.
The more delicate classes of wires
find application in scientific instru-
ments. So fine are these that 1t Is diffi-
cult to get them measured; but the TASK
has been accomplished, and platinum
wire has been drawn to 1000 OF an
inch, and to even greater hneness.
Aluminium wire has been drawn as
fine as 10,500 yards to the ounce, size
too fine to be practically measured by
any gauge or instrument. While men-
tioning practical examples OF hne-
drawn wires, it may be stated that
iron has been attenuated so that over
two and a half miles in length only
weighed one ounce. Again, twenty
four grains of gold have been drawn
on a silver wire to length Of 10
miles

Thousands of persons, when they found
that the shells OF the enemy did not reach
the city, went to points of vantage where
they could witness part OF the lombard
ment.
The firing was apparently directed prin-
cipally against the Moro, the Fort of La
Socapa, on the opposite side Of the en-
rance. and Punta Gorda, some distance
from the entrance, but which could be
reached by an almost straight fire from
the sea.
The forts replied brayely to the fire of
The enemy, but, as far as can be learned,
did not appear to do any great damage.
The sound of the cannonading was deaf
ening. The bay is almost entirely sur
rounded by mountains, and the reports OF
the guns were echoed aud re-echoed for
minutes after the discharge, making most
terrific din.
