Solace, which subsequently joined the feet
 The New York fired 25O shots, it is said, during the bombardment.
 Tine cable operator at San Juan cabled to the operator at St. Thomas early on the morning of the 12th, announcing that a viz orous bombardment of the capitol of Porto Rico was in progress, adding that he was going to take to the woods. It was consid- cred probable that most of the inhabitants of the place followed his example and fled from the city soon after they were awak- ened by the Iowa's first broadside.
 The only war vessel of a foreign power at San Juan during the bombardment was the small French cruiser Rigault De Ge- nouilly. She had her rigging cut by pieces of she'll After the bombardment the Frenchman left for the Island of St. Thom- as, where her commander told Capt Con- verse; of the Montgomery, that the Ameri- can operations were entirely justifable. It Is understood, however, that the French officers in conversation with other people criticised the wisdom of the bombardment.

public of Hayti. Attempts were made there to obtain information regarding the where Rbouts of the Spaniards, but no definite knowledge was obtained.
 Early in the morning of May 12 Admiral Sampsons ship approached San Juan, the American consul at Cape Haytien having Informed the admiral that he had heard . report that thirteen Spanish warships had been seen heading for Porto Rico.
 The city of Sans-Juan is situated in long, narrow pocket. A tongue of high land separates 1t from the ocean. The en- trance of the harbor is easily defended, and the same can be said of the headlands of the lofty Cabrans Islands, which lie in the throat of the passage. These head lands have been fortified by the Spaniards, but they did not prove in any way danger ous to our ships.
 Position of the Town
 The town of San Juan is on the ocean side of the bay and in the rear of the town rise high hills. To reach the city ships must pass Moro Castle, and the bat tery of San Carlos, situated on a promon- tory at the entrance of the harbor. Be- sides, they must pass the Caneulo battery on vadris Island.
 The attack on the forts was planned so that our warships could be in a position to meet the Spanish vessels should they emerge from the harbor.
 
 o'clock on Thursday last and prepared for battle, stripping the decks and getting the guns and ammunition and appliances for handling the wounded ready.
 Rear Admiral Sampson had transferred his flag to the Iowa and the attacks on the forts began at 5:15 o'clock and lasted three hours.
 Although 1t was known at San Juan that the American fleet was near, the Spaniards apparently kept no lookout. The soldiers in the forts and the people in the town were fast asleep when our warships ap- preached.
 It was not yet broad daylight, and the coast of the island was yelled in an unusual haze. A range of broken hills came almost down to the ocean and further inland. making sharp iife against the sky, arose sky was a deep blue, but nearer the hori- xon were great masses of cotton-looking clouds. A northeasterly breeze was bloW- ing and long. heavy swell gave a grace

ful motion to the sea.
 The plans of the admiral were thorough ly carried out. ~
 Steamed Into the Harbor
 The fleet steamed majestically into the harbor and in due course of time opened a tremendoug fire upop the fortiacatlons, Three times the wafshps made the circuit outlined in the official plan. The forts withstood the first round. but the Mont- gomery from her station near Fort Canu- elo, on Cabras Island, wrought complete destruction. With glasses the officers Of the Montgomery could see the occupants of the forts jumping over the walls and running away.
 The Detroit, which went nearest to Moro, had to train her guns at a high angle. Her shots, directed at the north side of the Moro cut deep furrows in the face of the Notifications.
 The Iowa leading the fleet delivered her deadly missiles with great accuracy upon Moro's northern walls.
 The rest of the fleet fired in order first on Moro and then on St. Carlos. according to position.
 On the second round the Spanish gunners were thoroughly awakened and stood by their guns bravely. keeping up a furious but aimless fire. From their firm founda- tion and high elevation they had a splendid opportunity to cripple our fleet, but the Spanish gunners seemed to fire regardless of aim and if only desirous of emptying their magazines.
 After the battle the dispatch boat went among the fleet to inspect the damage done. The sailors were calmly cleaning the decks and polishing the guns. On board the Iowa a boat was struck and caught fire, an ex- haust pipe was dented, the bridge railing was shattered. and three men were slightly wounded.
 All this was done by the solitary shell which struck the Iowa.
 One Man Killed
 One shell which exploded on the New York killed man, wounded four others, shattered two searchlights, splintered a cutter, tore three holes in a ventilator, and broke a small davit arm. Pieces of this shell was carefully gathered up for souve- mfrs, but there was not enough pieces to go around The New York was hit only once.
 When the dispatch boat of the Associated Press left the vicinity of San Juan for the Island of St. Thomas with the dispatch de- scrbing the engagement, the fleet was pre- pairing to bury the dead. In addition to the man killed on board the New York, a gunners mate on board the Amphritrlte died from the effects of heat.
 Of the New Yori's four wounded men. only two were seriously enough injured to call for their transfer to the hospital ship,

ALABAMA PRESS ASSOCIATION
Were Not Present at the Launching of the
 Alabama
Special to The Age-Herald.

SpecIaI tO The Age-HeTa1d.
 The Press association did not witness the launching of the Alabama after all. Just before it was time to leave for Philadelphia last night it was suddenly learned that no invitation had been secured for the mem- bers. There is some i'll feeling in conse- quence, and the press boys are inclined to feel indignant over the fact that the Ala bama delegation did not secure the invita- ton.
 MT. Clayton says. however. that the dele- gation did try to have the press associa- ton invited, but that the Cramps, acting under the instructions from the navy de- pertinent to have the launching as quiet as possible, declined to issue the invita- tions. As the programme of the associa- ton included visit to New York, about ninety members of the party continued their trip to that city.

me that you will always love her; that you

Kept Within Bounds.

In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which gives
a significant hint of the discipline to
which young people were subject in that
earlier day.
Several of the great jurist's nieces were
in the habit of visiting him, and as they
were young and attractive, the house be-
came a rendezvous for the leading young
men of the city during the afternoons.
Judge Marshall's black major domo, old
Uncle Joseph, held tight rein upon these
visitors. Every day at 4 o'clock he would
appear at the door of the drawing room
in spotless livery and with profound bow
would announce:
Ladies', his honor, the chief justice, has
retired to his room to prepare for dinner.
Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half past o'clock. 1t Is now A. His honor
will be pleased il you will remain, and
covers have been laid for you at the table.
If you cannot remain, will you permit the
young ladies to retire to prepare for the
meal?"
The gentlemen usually took their leave,
and the ladies retired in an i'll humor, but
any remonstrance with Joseph was only
answered by 1T is the rule of the house.
Young folks must be kept within bounds"
In Virginia houses of the better class,
Notwithstanding their almost boundloss
hospitality, the calls of young men in that
day were strictly held within limit. No
one was received as visitor to an unmar-
ried girl unless his antecedents and char
acter were well known to her parents
If his visit was prolonged until after 10
o'clock, the invitation to family prayers
was given. If he seemed likely to become
habitue Of the house, and so to engage
the thoughts, and perhaps in time the af-
fiction, of the young girl who was its chief
treasure, her father quietly asked the pur-
port of his visits, and If he had had none
other than his own amusement courteously
requested him to discontinue his calls.

A JEALOUS PET HORSE.

Mistress Noticed Another.

He Was Deeply Offended Because Hi
Mistress Noticed Another.
| In boarding stable In New York there
Is horse whose name Is Tatters. He Il
the pet OF Mrs. d., who owns and drives
him. She always gives him an apple OF
carrot before starting on a drive and an
other on returning, the latter being given
after his bride has been removed, and he
has learned TO wait patiently for the
dainty until that time.
On the same floor of the stable Is Mr..
| b. IS horse Phil. Mrs. ID. used frequently
TO give an apple to Phil after giving one
| to Tatters. The latter would manifest dis
pleasure at this in mild way, but his
| demonstrations never went beyond the
shaking of his head and laying back of his
ears.
But one evening, while Tatters, who
had just come in, was waiting for the re-
moval of his bride, Phil, who was ahead
of him, was the recipient of an apple from
Mrs. ID. Is hand as she stood talking TO
Mr. B.
A moment later the groom had removed
Tatters bride, and at once his mistress
offered him his apple. He turned his head
away and refused to touch the fruit. Mrs.
d. followed him into his stall and tried to
coax him, but he began munching his hay
and would not look at her.
Then Mr.. b., and after him the groom,
tried IN induce Tatters to take tho apple,
but to no purpose. He was hurt because
his mistress had given an apple to Phil
before giving one TO him, and no would
not forgive the affront.
His owners feelings were much like
those of the horse, and she left the stable
with tears in her eyes. Before starting out |
the next day, she had friend give car
rot instead Of an apple to Tatters, in the |
hope that If he had not forgotten the I'M
intended affront the carrot might break |
the association with the apple.
He took the carrot eagerly. Then he |
took one from his mistress hand, and you
may be sure she has never since then Civ
an apple or carrot to another horse while
