10y the flagship to the help of the
Iowa in the rescue of the Nizcaya' S
crew Her men saw a terrible sight.
The flames leaped out from huge
SHOT holes in the Vizcaya' sides, lick
ed up the decks, sizzling the flesh of
The Wounded, who were lying there
shrieking for help. Between the fre-
auent explosions there came awful
cries and groans from the men pinned
in below. This carnage was chiefly
due to the rapidity of the Americans
fire Corporal Smith fred 135 aimed
shots in so minutes from finch gun.
Two shells struck within 10 feet of
Smith and started small fire, but
the Corporal went on pumping shots
into the enemy, only stopping to say.
.The'Ye got it infor this gun, sir
n ,1t>src 1'tr>fs,rcm two 6-pounders 40 shots
hseTTNsted in 50 minutes. Up in the
tops the marines banged away with
1-pounders, too excited to step back
to duck as the shells whistled over
them. One gunner of a secondary
battery under Il 12inch gun was
blinded by smoke and saltpetre from
the turret and his crew were driven
off, but sticking wet handkerchief
over his face, with holes cut for his
eyes, he stuck to his guns. Finally,
as the 6-pounders were so close to the
8-inch turret as to make it impossible
to stay there with safety, the men
were ordered away before the big
gun was fired, but they refused to
leave. When the S-inch gun was fired
the conclusion blew two men of the
smaller gun crew 10 feet from their
guns and blew them to the deck as
deaf as posts. Back they Went again,
however, and were again blown away
and finally had to be dragged away
from their stations. Such bravery
and such dOgged determination un-
der the heavy fire We're of frequent
occurrence on all the ships engaged.
During his stay on the Iowa, Ad-
miral Cervera endeared himself to all.
After BlancO's order was issued he
wanted to come out on the night of
July End, but General Linares said,
wait till tomorrow morning you will
catch them at divine service then -
The Spaniards say that no torpedo

The new road from Luke to the Gar
rett county line, has just been COM
pleted. This new route, we are in
formed, will save our teamsters almost
a miles travel from here to Blooming

made from start to finish, and the con-
tractor, Mr.. NJ. NJ. Montgomery, of
Westernport, certainly deserves special
mention for the excellent work he did
on it, and shows as road builder he
knows his bushes. The Garrett

Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as stimulant to
Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures Constipa-
ton, Headache, Painting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. 1t is
