bombardment of San Juan lasted
three hours and the Notifications
were absolutely reduced. The feet
then steamed outside the port to
await the Spanish Cape Verde feet
news of whose coming had reached
Sampson.
1t was barely 5 o'clock when the
cruiser Detroit led SIMPSONS
squadron into the harbor of San
Juan. After the Iowa opened fire
the Detroit began shelling, firing at
short range. The Iowa, Indiana,
New York, Terror, Amphirite and
Detroit then steamed in before the
forts. Twenty or thirty guns re-
piled.
The fleets first round was aimed
too low and did but little damage.
In the second round, however, the
American guns got the proper ele-
vation. This round silenced Moro
fort and fired the town The Span
iards in the Notifications we're
driven from their guns repeatedly
by the fire of the Americans before
the works we're finally reduced
The fire from the Detroit was ex-
cellent at all times, and although
she went closer to the forts than
the other ships, not a shot hit her.
During the bombardment the
torpedo boal Porter, which had
been on scouting trip after the
Cape Verde fleet, arrived and dar-
ingly steamed in and began firing
at short range on the forts.
The Spaniards mounted seven
good guns, but their craftsmanship
was wretched. The forts fired hun
dreds of shots, but only hit the
New York once. That shot, how
ever, killed Seaman Frank Wide
mark and broke the leg of Samuel
Feltman and slightly wounded three
other seamen, The battleship Iowa

the Indictment weather. but Il was very
harmonious meeting. Rev. T. @. Hodg-
son, Of Ceur d'AIene. was elected chair

We. the Prohibition voters Of Koot-
enai county, In mass convention assem-
bled. do hereby set forth the following
principles:
Whereas, It is . demonstrated fact
that the liquor traffic has cost the Unit
ed States over one thousand million
dollars In money. and killed thousands
Of men and women annually, besides
debanching the morals OF almost every
community, and whereas, the traffic Is
entrenched in law, 1t Is logical conclu-
sion that II it is 70 be annihilated It
must be attacked along these lines,
therefore political party with prohibit
ton the dominant issue Is q necessity,
therefore we endorse the national and
state Prohibition platforms, and appeal
TO the voters Of this county to vote the
Prohibition ticket, and thereby assist
US In the emancipation Of many thous-
and men and women from the bondage
Of drink, and transform them into Law
abiding and wealth producing citizens.
The license system has cost Kootenai
county $4,000 in the last eight years to
prosecute crimes committed by men
when under the influence Of liquor.
We pledge ourselves to support for
Office only such men As work for the
prohibition principles in both county
and state.
After endorsing the state Prohibition
ticket, the following county ticket was
placed in nomination: Sheriff, Z. n.
Jellum; assessor, James II. Kennedy;
superintendent Of schools, Mrs. Nina
MathesOn; coroner, DIR. DennisoR; coun.
ty commissioners-first district, George

A party Of eight government engin-

cost Of the proposed canal. They went
down there with Admiral Walker and
the commission appointed BY the gov.
eminent The admiral and other mem.
hers Of the commission were recalled
when the war broke out. but the engin-
eers remained and completed the work.
The unctflcial report Of these engin-
eeu is most interesting. They not only
show that the project is feasible, but
demonstrate that the canal viii cost far
less than has been estimated. The
Ludlow commission estimated the cost
Of the canal at eIs3OOOOO0. Later Ad-
mlral Walker made an estimate Of
eiSS 10000. The engineers now come
forward, after an exhaustive investlga-
ton, and announce that the work can
be done for eloOOOO.OOO. They have
surveyed every portion Of the route and
made boFings and Sonndlngs every
where. With the data secured By their
work In the Geld, they have made their
estimate OF the cost and it may be re
garded ~ the most reliable yet placed
before the public The engineers de-
termined upon a different site from
what is called the Ochoa dam. This
win obviate the necessity for building
