 The Spanish official dispatches are announced to have created "an excellent impression" here, as indicating the immense diff faculties of the advance on Santi- ago de Cuba"
 The dispatches from Cuba were read in the Senate here to- day, whereupon the Senators made patriotic speeches.

 Admiral Sampson gave orders that the Texas, Massachusetts and Oregon should maintain a steady fire this morning upon the batteries on each side and back of Morro Castle. Unless the or der was countermanded hard fighting is surely going on all along the line.
 Admiral Sampson also ordered Captain McCalla this morning to keep the Marblehead busy at Guantanamo to-day. The Gu bans who came out of Santiago last night report the city suffer ing terribly. Hunger is encroach- ing upon the citizens and soldiers alike. The citizens of Santiago are already petitioning the Gov ernor that surrender be made without further fighting.

ONLY TWO HUNDRED
 CUBANS JOINED IN A
 PLANNED ATTACK

Special cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted. 1898, by James Cor
 don Bennett.
 PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica. June 23.- Two hundred Cubans from General Ce- brecos' camp, six miles west of San tiago, attacked the Spanish outposts west of Santiago this afternoon. The Cubans were led by Colonel Cebrecos, the generals brother.
 General Shafter's plan called for a force of 2000 Cubans, and had that number responded and had they obeyed, General Shafter's hope of drawing the Spaniards in force west ward while he disembarked eastward would surely have been successful, but the Spaniards moved in neither direc- tion and stayed entrenched at Santiago. The rife fire of a handful of Cubans and the presence of two transports and one schooner and the accustomed bom- bardment from sea was not enough to convince them that the Americans in tended to make landing.
 The Cubans say that the non-arrival of promised food prevented them from

Baiquiri. It IS near to the coast, and IS under the guns of the American fleet.
 Cable dispatches received here from Admiral Cervera say the crews of the Spanish warships at Santiago have joined the land forces in order to take part in the defense of the city. He adds that the situation is critical, but a later dispatch afirms that the Span iards "have victoriously repulsed the enemy"
 A dispatch from the Governor of Santiago de Cuba says: "The attack on Seboney and Baiquiri continued until nightfall. The enemy were repulsed except on the left at Baiquiri, where the Spaniards were obliged to retire i'll consequence of the fanking movement on the part of the enc my, who landed several kilomet- CTS east of Baiquiri. The Span ish forces retired in good order into the mountains. Seboney and Borraco were destroyed by the American shells"
 During the afternoon a semi official note was issued fin order to avoid a misunderstanding" /" pointing out that merely the Spanish retired and took up a position in the mountains, owing to the Americans landing nine kilometers east of Baiquiri, where there were no Spanish troops, and endeavoring to outfank the Spaniards.

WASHINGTON. June 23.-Two near relatives of President Mckinley have enlisted in the volunteer army as pri- vate soldiers. They are his nephews, John Dewalt Barber and James Fuller Mckinley. Both have been his guests at the White House for some time The President has been urged by some of their friends to appoint them second lieutenants in the army, but he de- clined to exercise his prerogative in this matter in favor of his relatives, and said that inasmuch as they were willing to enlist as privates, he would prefer that they do so, and that course was followed by both. The young men enlisted in the Eighth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, now camped at Falls Church.

Had the full design carried General Shafter would have been in control of the nearest hill to Santiago, within half range and upon the flank of the harbor entrance and could easily destroy them, allowing Sampson to drag torpedoes and capture or destroy the Spanish ships and incidentally have Santiago city and the troops there at his mercy.

 tains on all sides of Santiago last night. Shafter continued the land ing of troops at the Sigua Iron Com pany's docks. While this was going on several transports proceeded westward twelve miles, and troops
 were landed to cooperate directly with the Cuban forces marching
 upon the doomed city from that

 Santiago 900 Cubans have appeared and are harassing the enemy. Two
 bodies of Spaniards were driven
 from the hills in this direction back
 upon Santiago. This was only done
 after desperate fighting, in which twenty-five Spaniards are said to have been killed and twice that
 number wounded.

dishes that would constitute the best
supper should take the 50. They drew
straws as to which ones should be the
first and the last to make up the menu
for the imaginary meal. The first man
said he couldn't think of anything bet

HELPS THE PLUMBER.
The House Rat Eats Quantities of Lead
Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.


The House Rat Eats Quantities of Lead
Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.
One of the most persistent and de-
structive assistants the plumber has is
the house rat. A rat can eat out plumb.
ing as fast as an average honest man
can pay for it. To rat greasy lead
pipe is toothsome moroccan. When
hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds
his way into the cellar of house and
thence up through the walls to the
space between the floors, the first thing
he tackles is the grease on the outside
of lead waste pipe. If he finds other
food shortly thereafter, he spares the
pipe, otherwise he eats the pipe and the
water escapes through to the ceiling
below and ruins the plaster. The plumb
er is sent for and repairs the leak, but
he doesn't tell what caused it.
Once upon a time rat was shoist
by his own petard, so to speak. He
got into house and found his way to a
lead pipe, en which he tried his teeth.
1t was pleasant chewing and put fine
edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon
he had eaten large hole in the pipe
and a stream of sealding water poured
forth. Before he could escape he had
been scaIded to death, to say nothing of
being drowned. But he had the satisfac-
tion of knowing that he had ruined
fine ceiling and that the carpet under
meath it had been soaked full of limo-
water. There is no great loss without
some small gain.
Just to show what they could do,
some rats once ate so feet of lead pipe
under a bathroom and over the kitchen
of big hotel in this city The floor of
the bathroom was marble and under it
was frepreof floor made of iron beams
and hollow tiles. The pipes were laid
in the space between the floor and the
girders. Rats were attracted thereto by
the odors from the kitchen. They met
the lead pipes. When their appetites
were satisfied, the space was filled with
lead dust.
Rats like to eat drain pipes from
kitchen sinks because they are lined
with grease. The only way to keep
them away is to pack the pipes win
mineral wool Mineral wool is a su6-
stance made of furnace Stag through
which a jet of air has been forced while
it cooled. The mineral wool gets il )
the eyes of the rats and drives them
away. Modern plumbers discourage rats
by laying iron instead of lead pipes.
Rats, strange TO say, are great breed
ers of sewer gas They gather up bones
and scraps Of meat about the kitchen
yard and carry them up into the rates
between floors and ceilings The pres
enoe of this plumber is sooner or later
discovered by the odor, and the plumber
is sent for to discover whence the sewer
gas comes. Tt is not always we'll to tel
the housekeeper the truth.
Thus it is the humble brown house
rat helps his friend the plumber ear1
an honest livelihood, and the plnmbo4
thanks him in his own gentle way

story of a Ring and a slipper.

The daughter of wealthy resident
of the hill section presented a young
woman friend with pair of dainty
slippers. and in the toe of one Of them
she placed valuable ring, set with an
opal and tive diamonds. The present
went to the destination, but the slippers
did not fit, and the recipient Of the gift
did not discover the ring. She sent the
slippers back to the store, and they were
placed on the shelves with the thou
sands of otter similar boxes.
On Monday the foorwalker in the
shoe department received severe shock
when a young woman rushed into the
place aud rambled off lot of talk about
missing jewels. After some difficulty he
managed to get the facts of her story to-
gether, and then every one of the en-
ployees was ordered to begin a search
for the slippers. In two hours they were
found, and the ring was just where it
had been placed. -Brooklyn Eagle.

EARLY CLOSING

The stores of Florence, having
agreed to close at 7 p. m. every
day except Saturday, have found
the arrangement agreeable and
not unproftable. If the merch-
ants would further agree to close
on Saturday afternoons from 2 to
6 o'clock from May | to October l ,
they would probably find them
selves the gamers by it. Baseball
games could then be arranged for
Saturday instead of Sunday after
moons. We predict that, if other
wise well conducted, they would
be literally patronized by con-
siderable number of citizens who
at present look askance at baseball
simply because they regard it as
the cause of what they deem Sab
bath desecration."
Without being in the least de-
gree puritanical or prejudiced, we
believe that the "church people"
should at least be considered on
the one day in the week that they
claim. They cannot be expected
to aid or approve of Sunday base
ball games to which an admission
fee is charged. The only reason
given by the managers of the base
ball club for Sunday games,is that
the players have no other time. If
the stores and other employers of
labor will close on Saturday after
moons, that objection will be re-
moved.
The Tribune is willing to join
the movement by abstaining from
publication on Saturday during
the summer, unless news warrant
ing an "extra" is received and it
will give its employees the benefit
of the half holiday without reduc-
tion of pay if the merchants and
other principal advertisers do not
object.
