near this battery and a great cheer
from the men. Ten seconds later the
Massachusetts landed two ten-inch
shells almost in the same spot and
signaled that the battery was silenced
Big guns could still be seen on the
hill, but there were no gunners around
them.
In the meantime shells from a few
batteries Of the enemy which were
keeping up a desultory firing were
falling either very short Or just over
the ships. One burst over the Brook
Ign, and two others went dangerously
close to her But only a few skylights
were injured.
In the meantime the four big battle
ships were pounding against the Es-
trella battery and the inside harbor
defenses, and the frightful explosion
of the great shells could be seen caus-
ing terrible havoc.
Down on the eastern end of the line
the New York and New Orleans put
the Cava battery out of action in if
teen minutes, and then devoted the fire
Of their guns to the batteries on the
hill, there being two new masked bat
teries west of Moro that were very
nasty in their fire. The guns Of the
New Orleans did deadly work there,
and the fire from the Spaniards grew
more and more fitful.
BATTERIES ABLAZE.
The Estrella and Catalina batteries
were on fire. and the block houses in
the eastern end were burning.
At 9:19 the ships turned so as to
bring their unused port batteries into
play. and opened still more disastrous
fire., ss f'.tl4,,7a f,s

the Spaniards had practically deserted
their batteries and would not return
the fire..
2 Lieut. Doyfe's s-inch guns II, the star
board turret of the Brooklyn and Lieut..
Simpsons forward 8-inch pair landed
right in the middle of the earthworks
several times, with evident disastrous
effect. The flagship signaled at 9:37
that the batteries were evidently 81
fenced, but It vas not until 1905 that
the firing was stopped. At that time
it was known that not a single shot of
the enemy had taken effect on our
ships.
When the firing finally stopped the
warships moved slowly away, and a
shot struck near the flying squadron's
end Of the line. giving evidence that the
Spaniards had not been altogether
driven away from their guns, but had
only run away from them to come back
when the opportunity offered. One or
two stray shots struck Moro cassie,
but it was only slightly damaged about
the upper works.
1t is believed that both the Catalina
and the Estrefla batteries are finally
out Of action, while a great portion of
the earthworks were knocked down.
1t was rumored that the Spaniards
had hauled down their flag. but it was
probably shot down, as it was displayed
again by noon, and the firing of the
guns after the retirement Of the squad
ron was not indicative of surrender.

association of which Hon. c.. d.
O'Brien is president, has asked the Red
Cross society to cooperate with it in
rendering such hospitable attention as
is possible to the detachment of that
and to the recruits which they shall
enlist. The lavish kindness which,
according to all accounts, Minnesota
soldiers have met with In California,
exceeds any thing troops have b fore eX-
perienced anywhere since this war be-
gan.
1t is surely fitting that ST. Paul
should give the men who have come
back to take with them new comrades
enough to fill up the ranks of the sew
eral companies to the full quota and
to the recruits who will go such a
farewell as will show the San Francisco
people that Minnesota thinks at least
as much Of her boys IS they do.
Ii is proposed to give them a lunch
at the Armory on the evening of their
departure; to escort them with band
of music to the union station, and to
provide lunch for each man to take
with him.
This preliminary notice is given that
people may be prepared for the specific
appeal which will come later.

an incident occurred this morning at

which have uo to this time been per
mitted to ply their business by the

hindrance. A private of the Twenty

at the whisky dive of one Joe Baker
became involved in a difficulty with
the barkeeper. Blows followed, and
Baker drew a revolver. firing Doint-
blank at the soldier. the bullet strik-
ing him near the left eye, inf1icting a
severe wound, which may cause the
loss Of an eye.
SOLDIERS WANT REVENGE.
The fight attracted the attention of
the throngs on the streets of the mush-
room town, and soon a crowd of SOL
diers rushed in, and Baker, fearing
further trouble, got out of the way
A large body of soldiers formed with
the purpose of handling him severely
and avenging the injury to their COM
rade. and for a while it looked as if
there would be serious trouble. An
armed guard. however. was quickly
detailed by order of Gen. Brooke Who
took charge of Baker and his place,
and order was soon restored. The SOL
der was taken to the division hospital
where the surgeon Investigated his in
juries. He found a wound as indicat-
ed, but it is thought the INJURY had
been caused by a bit of broken glass
and not by bullet, splinter of glass
being found sticking in the eye ball.
After the shooting a number of SOL
u!ers discovered the gambling den was
running a brace game and that the
difficulty between the soldier and
Baker had resulted from the fact that
the latter had been playing the former
with loaded dice. 1t took the soldiers
only few minutes to demolish the
place. They broke up the furniture,
scattered the gambling paraphernalia

from pulling the house down by the

Staff Correspondence The St. Paul Globe.
CAMP MERRITT. San Francisco, June T.
The fear expressed by the San Francisco
health authorities that the presence of so
many troops at Camp Merritt may breed dis
ease, does not apply to the Thirteenth Mime
sofa regiment. The first care Of Mai Fitz
gerald when the regiment arrived, was to
make such sanitary arrangements that would
insure the health of the men as well as the
community, and under his direction arrange
ments were made that precluded possibility of
diseases.
The Thirteenth regiment is the healthiest
in the camp. 1t has fewer men in hospital
than any other regiment. and 1t is In every
respect the best arranged and conducted from
q sanitary point Of view.
There is some criticism, however, of the
hospital corps. This corps is made I'D of
details of one man from each company, This
management, 1t Is said. is all wrong. There

Anticipate Trouble With Insurgents.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The officials
here make no concealment of their ap-
prehensions of serious trouble to fol-
low the execution of our program in
regard to the Philippines. The reports
of the military and naval commanders
of late have contained warnings of ex-
pected conflicts with the insurgents
and no surprise will be felt at the re-
ceipt of news of an outbreak at almost
any moment.
The United States government feels
that it has assumed a moral obligation
towards not only the foreign residents
at Manila, but toward the unprotected
classes of the Spanish community.
women, children, nuns and priests.
Therefore, when intimation came that
the insurgents were threatening the
lives of some helpless monks, orders
were sent to the American military
commander to look into the matter
and to act in the interest of civilization
and humanity.
