GUANTANAMO
AGAIN SHELLED
Bombs Hurled into the Midst
of the Town..
FLAMES ROSE FROM PLACES
WHERE THE BOMBS FELL.
MUCH DAMAGE BELIEVED TO BE COVE
Scarcely AIRY Reply was Made by The Span

Full Possession of Guantanamo.

Mole. s.. Nicholas. Saturday. June Is.
-6:3o u. m.-News from Guantanamo
Bay UP to this morning shows that
naval operations there continue most ac-
tive. and with the advantage on the
, side OF the Americans. Yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock the American
vessels resumed the bombardmcnt Of
Guantanamo town ana III the course OF
one and one half hours threw into it
sevcnty-fiye shells. 4 great majority Of
which appeared To have been effective.
Six Of these shells were 13-inch pro
j~cctiles, eight S-inch. and the rest
smaller. The men III the tops could
see many of the shells strike in the
very midst Of the town while others
fell among the shipping and commercial
buildings near he waters edge.
Smoke arose in dense clouds from the
places where the shells burst. and it is
believed that damage both ny the i'm
pact OF the missiles and consequent con
migration was very great.
On Thursday evening the ships had
thrown four 13-inch and nine S-inch
shells into the town. This bombardmcnt
began at four o'clock, and ended at
FIVE. Much smoke and confusion were
diScerned III guantanamo during its pro
gress. Crowds Of people and troops Of
soldiers We're seen moving about and
vessels in port hurricdly changed their
anchorage.
On Wednesday night the Texas penc-
trated into the bay Of Santiago. passed
Moro Castle and poured 4 well directed
fire both upon that stronghold and the
Castle Zocapa. This battle began about
II o'clock and ended about midnight.
There WAS very little response from the
SpaniarGs. and such rs there was did
hardly any damage. Nobody was Killed
Ill any of these actions III the American
ships.
Two Spanish officers who were captur-
Cd on "Wednesday in G~uantanamo Bay,
are reported to be on board the Marble
head.
The news Of the work on "Wednesday
night by the NcSuyius and New Orleans
in Santiago Bay is confirmed. The
Ncsuyius threw shells into tho water 10
explode the mines. while the New Or
leans engaged the Notifications along
the shore.
The Marhlchoad has captured IA
Spanish sloop III Guantanamo harhor.
and made eight soldiers who were on
board prisoners.
&c Americans are now practically III
fun possession of Guantanamo Bay. and
the white tents Of the land force pre-
sent q rather imposing spectacle. There
is occasional firing from the Spanish
land forces, but it is always inefficient
and Of no Importance.
Day before yesterday our soldiers cap
t1red 1T guantanamo a Cuban with dis
patches which he was carrying to tho
Spanish general. He was turned over
to the Cuban commander and shot. An
other Cuban WAS captured the same day
under similar circumStanccs. His fate
is under consideration.

Sore Mouth Among Cattle.

Newspaper bulletin 67, Indiana Ex-
pertinent Station: A few weeks ago a
disease commonly called sore eyes
among cattle assumed an epidemic
form in many parts Of the state. Now
several localities are reporting another
disease called sore mouth or sore foot
and mouth. This disease made it's ap-
pearance in the state in the fall Of
1891 and in 1892. Since that time very
few cases have been seen. It is dis
ease that attacks cattle Of any age and
in few instances attacks horses. It
occurs among animals on pasture and
is supposed to be due to some condi-.
ton Of the grass. It is not known to
be contagious, but it is q good policy
to separate the diseased and affected
as safe precaution.
The symptoms are as follows: The
animal ceases eating. stands and fire.
Quently champs the Jaws. and saliva
drips from the corners OF the mouth.
The muzzle has peculiar brownish
hue which extends to the nostrils and
to the inside Of the lips. The inside
Of the lips. gums. pads and sides Of
the tongue become reddish. The tongue
swells, sometimes to such an extent Is
to keep the mouth open. There IL q
very disagreeable odor about the
mouth. After few days the menu
brane pssls OF the gums. lips and
tongue IN patches, leaving them raw.

course In from six to ten days. during
which time the animal will be unable
to eat anything hard. The bowels ara
usually constipated.
The treatment Is to apply an astri1-
gen wash. Tannic acid, one-half ounce;
borax, powdered, one ounce; glycerine.
eight ounces, and water suficient to
make quart, has been recommended.
a saturated solution of boracic acid
is good. Cresoline ounce to

gruels and sloppy feed for diet. In .

ported as black tongue. This is Q

WOMAN AND THE CAMERA.

Photography as u Profession Should APP
peal to the Fair Sex.
Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston,
the Photographic artist, writes, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on What a
Woman Can Do With a Camera" tell
ing the requisites for artistic and f1nan-
cial success in the pursuit of photog-
raphy as profession. "It is a profess
sion," she contends, 'that should
strongly appeal particularly to women.
and in it there are grea. opportunities
for good-paying business-but only
under very well-defined conu1llons.
The prime requisites-as summed up in
my mind after long experience and
thought are these: The woman who
makes photography profitable must
have, as to personal qualities, good
common sense, unlimited patience to
carry her through endless failures,
equally unlimited tact, good taste,
quick eye, talent for detail, and
genius for hard work. In addition, she
needs training, experience, some capt.
tai, and a field to exploit. This may
seem, at first glance, an appalling list.
but it is incomplete rather than exag-
gerated; although to an energetic, am
bilious woman, with even ordinary op-
portunities, success is always possible.
and hard, Intelligent and conscientious
work seldom fails to develop small be-
ginnings into large results.
Good work should command good
prices and the wise woman will place
paying value upon her best efforts.
1t is a mistaken business policy to try
and build up trade by doing something
badly cheaper than some body else
AS to your personal attitude, be bust
ness-like in all your methods; cultivate
tact, an affable manner, and an unfail.
ing courtesy. It costs nothing but .
little self-control and determination TO
be patient and good-natured under
most circumstances: A pleasant, oblig.
ing and business-nke bearing will Of.
ten prove the most important part Of .
clever woman's capital"
