LAKE Erie.
SANDUsKY, Ohio, Jan. 24.-The
steamer American Eagle, which mr..
rived here yesterday from the island
region, brought the news Of a disaster
of Putin Bay by which the lives Of 200
people were put in imminent peril.
During the winter, when the ice In
strong enough to hold them, large
bers OF the residents Of the island
region engage in fishing through tho
Ice. Small houses large enough to ac-
commodate two to six people are Taken
out on tho lake on sleds, holes arc cut
through the ice, and the houses, which
have apertures in the floor, are placed
over the holes. The houses ore sup
piled with seats, stoves, etc, and aro
very comfortable. Quite as many wo-
men as men use the houses.
Thursday while about zoo men and
women were in the little houses, q
fierce gale sprang up suddenly. and
without warning, the wind reached n
velocity Of between fifty md sixty
miles an hour. The wind had q clean
sweep across the lake and struck
these little houses with terrific force,
tipping some Of them over and carry.
Ing others away across tho ice. Many
OF the people were severely cut and
bruised.
The wind, which was of shore, was
30 fierce that the ice, weakened by
rain that morning, began to crack and
break along the shore. The line OF
blue water that marked the break
began to widen with appalling speed.
Fragments were torn from the main
Geld by The wind, and then como tho
general breaking up.
Men and women began q mad rush
toward the shore, from which relief
parties IN small boats had commenced
to put OF to the rescue. The shores
Of Putin Bay we're lined with rela-
tives and friends Of She people
on the drifting ico. Rescuing
parties forced their boats in
among the broken cakes Of ice ct the
imminent risk Of losing their own
lives. Their attention was RivenA
first to those who had fallen into the
water, and after they were all picked
up, the people who were drifting Quit
on the cakes of ice were taken of. n
Many OF those thus saved were be-
numbed, and some Of them were un@
conscious. The escuers worked hes
roically In the face Of great dangers
and succeeded in bringing to shore
every n Of the 200 people. S

Terrific work of Some of the Fleets
Shots.

IN CAMP. NEAR SANTIAGO DE
| CUBA, MONDAY, July IL via PORT
ANTONIO. July u. 3:20 z. M.-The land
forces watched with interest the bonn
bardment from the fleet. About s O'Clock
the thunder of guns was heard seaward
ana a dense cloud Of smoke. rising over
the ridge TO the south, showed that the
navy was at work. Many shells from the
ships burst in the northeast part of the
city, which it is difficult to see from the
American lines. 1t is impossible to say
what effect they had Several burst in
the centre of the town with very great
effect. One shell, Of whose action a good
view was had from San Juan hill. burst
in a small street. When the atmosphere
cleared 1t seemed as If the entire street
had been blown out Of existence. A large
hole was torn in the ground. and many
buildings were demolished. If a hundred
other shells could be landed with similar
effect they would destroy Santiago. The
warships fired for only a short time
GALLERY PLAYS.
Two ridiculous gallery plays were made
by Spanish officers last night, which
excited much amusement in the American
lines. Late in the evening loud talking
was heard from the first line Of the
Spanish entertainments. An Interpreter
was called. and soon came In on the run
TO report that a Spanish officer was ad-
dressing his men, urging them 10 stand
fast for the honor Of Spain, as the NOR
row would be the last day Of fighting.
for the American army would be wiped
out the first thing in the morning. Faint
cheering followed much less distinct than
the officers voice. The American sharp
shooters ruthlessly fired in the direction
of the Spanish line, and the hero who was
going to wipe out the American army
made quick dive for the trenches. from
which no Spanish heroes have yet
emerged
Late yesterday afternoon, before tie
flag Of truce came down, a group OF
Spanish officers galloped along the lines
in bright uniform, carrying Spanish flags.
and charged near the end Of our line back
ana forth, in front Of the flag Of truce, to
make an elaborate display Finally, they
dashed into the town out Of danger. and
then down came the white flag.
