DRIVEN OFF.
Camp of Spanish Bushwhackers
Shelled by the Dolphin.

New York, June ia special to the
Evening World from Mole st. Nicholas
says: The auxiliary cruiser st. Louis
has arrived there from Guantanamo
which place she left at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The marines who were
at Caimanera were, when the st. Louis
left, hard at work throwing up breast
works and strong Notifications on the

force.
Three miles fran Santiago there was
little fishing village, where a consider
able force of Spanish troops were sta
toned. 1t was used as a kind of base
of operations for attack on the Ameri-

place and practically destroyed it.

rectiOns..

ANGLES FOR BATS.
Atchison Man Introduces Aerial
Fishing at Night.


Atchison. June ia new sport has
been inaugurated in Atchison by Cy
Smith, night toll keeper for the Chicago
and Atchison Bridge company 1t
might be appropriately termed aerial
angling, and is an entirely new depart
ure-something that old Izook Walton
never dreamed of. 1t is the art of catch
ing bats with a rod, line and hook. At
the west approach of the bridge stands
an arc light, around which all kinds
of insects swarm at night. These in
SectS attract numerous bats which dart
around the light in quest of sustenance.
There is a species of moth, or miller, of
which the bats seem to be particularly
fond.
One night while Smith was sitting in
his chair at the toll Office waiting for
some stray pedestrian to come along
and drop a nickle in the SLOT he was
attracted by the bats and commenced
to closely observe their actions. Pres
some sport with the festive little crea-
lures. He took a thread, on the end
of which he fastened a small minnow
hook, and then tied the line to a long
cane pole. Batting the hook with a
miller he began angling for bats. Nov
ing the line about in the air the result
was surprising. A bat darted along
grabbed the bait and started to fly
away, but he was captive. The trial
was repeated and a number of bats
were caught.
oliver Miller, Gus Smith, Will Bolls,
and others have tried their luck "at
the bat" and have caught number of
them. The boys hold the little animals
in captivity long enough to study their
characteristics and then release them.
They are becoming authorities on the
subject of CheirOptera.

GUARD AGAINST THE FEVER
Army and Navy Surgeons General
Have Taken Precautionary
Measures

Washington, June 15.-Surgeons Gen
eraI SternDerg of the army and Van
Reypen of the navy have taken every
precautiOn to protect the army and
navy from yellow fever. Up to the
present time neither of them has re-
ceiVed any report of contagiOn in either
branch of the service, nor do they feel
that the present conditions give ground
for serious apprehension, although, with
our troops and ships operating in a
country having yellow fever the year
round, there is need of the most rigid
precautions by the army and navy
medical corps.
In the case of the navy DR.. Van Rey-
pen mapped out a careful plan before
our ships went into Cuban waters. 1t
took into account every fever point in
the harbOr of Havana and whereabouts.
These points are marked on all naval
charts and care will be taken that our
sections. Certain wharves and ware
houses along the harbor, also, are
established points for breeding fever,
and these, too, are being guarded
against. The same precaution is taken
at all other Cuban ports where our
warshipS are called into action.
In an official bulletin issued recently
by the state department it was stated
that yellow fever existed at Santiago
de Cuba the year round. The fearful
unsanitary condition of the city is also
pointed out, the bulletin stating that
dead cats, dogs, etc, are thrown into
cutters, where they remain with the
offal and surface sewerage to pOllute
the atmosphere. This report has come
to the attention of the army and naval
medical corps, and has increased the
vigilance the authorities are exercis-
ing. It was feared at one time that
the Spanish authorities might willingly
lend themselves to the spread of yellow
fever among our soldiers and sailors.
and the possibility of this has been
guarded against. For that reason no
small craft bearing suspicious goods,
such as old clothing, which might con-
tain yellow fever germs, have been
seized Suspicious derelicts of this kind
have been sunk rather than take
chances of capturing fever-laden goods.
Surgeon General Sternberg of the
army issued a general order some time
ago, giving detailed instructions for
guarding against yellow fever and for
treating the fever should it occur. The
order gives rigid directions for the SAN
itary arrangements of all camps, i'm
mediately they are established on Gu
ban soil Specific direction is made for
the frequent change of trenches, for the
boiling of all water served the troops
and the fumigation and washing of all
exposed garments and material. With
our troops actually on Cuban soil these
rules will be rigidly enforced by the
surgeons accompanying each regiment.

SAVED HER REASON.
New Jersey Woman Deceived With a
Borrowed Baby.

Newark, N. J., June 15.-The reason
of Mrs Samuel owen has been saved
to believe was her own Mrs. Owen was
in the private sanitarfum of DR.. An
nette NeViSOn, 5 South Eleventh street,
under DIR. WendelPS care. DR.. Wen
+ dell says that when her child was born
dead, acting on his knowledge of the
case, and for what he deemed the best
interests of all concerned, he substitu-
ted for the dead baby the 2-days-old
child of a Mrs. Graham, who had gone
to the sanitarium a few days before.
Four physicians knew of the substitu-
ton and agreed to say nothing about
it to Mr.. or Mrs. Owen until she was
strong enough to bear the shock.
Mr.. Owen was informed of a living
child's birth and at once telegraphed to-
relatives in San Francisco and cabled
the news to others in England. For
four days, it is said, Me- Owen was left
to believe the child to be his wife's.
Then he learned otherwise. He was
very much astonished, and, it is said,
reproached DR.. Wendell For ten days
Mrs. Owen was allowed to believe that
the living child was her own. Then she
was informed of the substitution and
the baby given back to it's parents. DR..
Wendell said yesterday:
of / were confronted with the same
circumstances again would act in the
same way. 1t was a question of saving
the wOman'S reason, and which was
the better to do, substitute the child or
put the mother in such grave peril? I
only asked for the use of the child ten
days, and after that time it would have
been safe to tell Mr.. Owen and his wife.
But Mr.. Owen learned of it before that
time, and though he was a little dis
pleased at first he is all right now"
DR.. Nevison, at whose Sanitarium the
two children were born. said she knew
nothing of the facts of the case beyond
what she had been told.
when Mr.. Owen came to pay my
bin,'' the doctor said, ''he told me of
the substitution of the child. and SEEM

more astonished than when told OF
the substitution. I saw Mrs. Owens,
think it was after she had been told
of the change, and she said: L never

this little darling here and she pointed
to the baby"

wINsLoW IS DONE UP.
May Have to Go North to Get Need
ed Repairs.

Key West. June 15.-The torpedo boat
Winslow, which was damaged by the
Spanish shells at Cardenas, in the en-
gagement in which Ensign Worth Bag
ley and four men were killed, may have
to go north for extensive repairs before
she is able to make her old speed and
be in fighting condition. 1t was thought
that all necessary repairs could be
made at Key West, and that at most
the injuries to the boat were not ser1-
Gus. A force of men were put to work
on her Immediately after she was towed
back from Cardenas. The Winslow
went out for a trial trip. About eight
miles beyond Sand Key Light the boil
ers broke down, and the following
morning a tug towed the torpedo boat
into the harbor.
1t was found that one of the boilers
had been damaged more than was sup
posed, the tubes having given out dur
ing the trip, while the patch put on the
other boiler to mend the hole made by
a Spanish shot, also gave way under
high pressure.
The boat probably will be sent north
at once. 1t was intended that she
should Immediately have chance in
the fighting and perhaps win glory af-
ter her first Inflated engagement.
