at Santiago Fort.
Historical will become the work of de-
struction done by the United States dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius shortly before II
O'clock Saturday night. Under orders
from Admiral Sampson the Vesuvius let
fly three shells, each containing 200
pounds Of gun cotton, at q fort standing
on "a headland on the western side of the
entrance to Santiago harbor and each Of
the projectiles did frightful execution.
There was no flash, no smoke. There was
no noise at first. The pneumatic guns on
the little cruiser did their work silently
1t was only when they felt the shock that
the men on the other warships knew the
Vesuvius was in action.
4 few seconds after the first gun was
fired there was frightful CONFUSION on
the land. On the hill, where the Spanish
guns had withstood the missile of the or
binary ships of war, tons of rock and soil
leaped high in the air. The land was
smittcn as by an earthquake. Terrible
echoes rolled around and around through
the shaken hills and mountains. Samp-
sons ships, far out to sea. trembled with
the awful shock. Dust rose to the clouds
and hid the scene of destruction. Then
came q long silence; next another fright
full upheaval, and followed by third so
quickly that the results of the two min
gled in mdair. The Vesuvius had tested
herself. she was found perfect as a de-
stroyer. She proved that no fertilization
can withstand her terrible missiles.
Just what damage she did could not be
told from the sea. Whatever was within
hundreds of feet of the point of impact
must have gone to destruction. This was
the first test of dynamite cruiser in ac-
tuai warfare, and naval officers are highly
eratifed with the results.

"WRlTING HOME TO MOTHER
A familiar scene at Chickanaauoa.

vices received at Key West are to the
effect that five Spanish ships ran out to
the mouth of Havana harbor on the day
mentioned and headed in an easterly di-
rection. The vessels Of the blockading
squadron were lying well off shore, the
nearest not being closer than 1000 yards.
Upon sighting the Spaniards they ran in
a short distance and opened fire on them.
The yolley of shot and she'll brought no
response from the enemy. but the quintet
of ships speedily turned tail and, hugging
the shore under the batteries, ran back
into the harhor. The American ships,
however. did not accept the bait and made
no further attempt to modest them

SAYS BLANco HAS $4,000 MEN.
WhiEham Says Havana Is Not Starry

Mr.. Whighau, the English newspaper
correspondent who was recently arrested
in Havana, and later expelled from Cuba
by Captain General Blanco, says the gar
rison OF Havana numbers $4,000 men, in.
Guiding volunteers. Recruits are coming
into the city daily. There is no prospect
OF starvation, he thinks, for some time.
Meat sells for only 80 cents per pound,
Flour is scarce, but there is plenty Of
corn meal and rice. THE supply of coal
may full within q month, which would
leave the city in darkness. There are now
$1,000 tons in sight, and it is reported
that 10000 tons may be available. The
temper of the troops is excellent, and their
health is good. Large numbers of Cubans
are already yeering to the support OF
Spain. The former insurgent leader Mas
so-Parrn has raised 1000 men to help the
Spanish. The defenses of the town have
been greatly strengthened since the war
began. Two hundred guns have been
mounted in shore batteries, including six
12-inch rifles. According to Mr.. Wing
ham. Havana is now practically impreg-
nable, provided the Spaniards make
good fight. Two lines of defense have
been completed inland within the last two
months it is believed that the capture
of the city viii demand $4,000 American
troops.

Rout of the Dons.

A special cable from Mole St. Nicholas
describes Tuesdays battle at Camp Nc
Gala Guantanamo bay. 1t says that
more than 100 Spaniards lie dead as the
result Of the engagement. Their fine
equipment of Mauser riAes-rifes that
have picked off marines at long distances
are stacked in the American camp. Two
Cubans were killed in the fight and one
American, Private Walker of Company
d, was slightly wounded in the ankle.
When the marines returned to camp at
ter the battle they brought with them
eighteen Spanish prisoners, including
lieutenant, something more than lOO
rifles and about 10000 rounds of ammu-
milton.
The Americans, weary of jungle war
fare, went into the enemy's hiding place
and inflicted disastrous punishment. Capt.
Elliott, Lieut.. Lucas and Lieut.. Bannon
of Company G, with ninety marines and
fifteen Cubans, composed one of the par
ties. Capt Spicer, Lieut.. Neville and
Lieut.. Shaw Of Company d, with ninety
marines and fifteen Cubans, made up the
second party. Lieut.. Mahoney and Lieut..
Magill of Company e. with fifty marines
and ten Cubans, formed the third party,
while the fourth comprised Lieut.. Ingate-
Of Company L and fifty marines and a
Cuban guide
Thus it will be seen q scouting party of
300 officers and men, weakened by subdi-
vision into four bands, ventured to drive
a much superior force Of Spaniards from
cover. The primary object of the expedi-
ton was the destruction of the tank which
supplied the Spanish with water. This
was successfully accomplished The
Americans also captured Photograph
with which the Spaniards signaled infor-
nation to the main army. The Ameri-
cans and Cubans charged the headqunr
tiers of the Spaniards in Il valley, drove
out the dons with bullet and bayonet,
heInmed them in and cut off their retreat,
and as they showed no intention of sur
rendering the Dolphin dropped shells in
their midst, causing great havoc and kill
ing scores. \ few stragglcrs managed to
escape, but the marines were too tired to
pursue them. The American victory was

Piled the Cars Ur.

A Chicago and Northwestern freight
train was wrecked at West Bend. The
train was a double-header and was going
at the rate of about thirty miles an hour
when the accident happened. 1t appears
that broken brake-beam struck tbs frog

box cars, three gondolas and two fiat cars
with oil tanks. About 100 feet of the

track was also badly damaged. Traiilc
was not interrupted. No one was injured.

Blaze at Richie1d.

The store and saloon of Ernest
Schwamb at Richfield was burglarized
and considerable goods taken. After the
burglars secured their plumber they pour
cd oil on the floor and set the building
afre. The proprietor was awakened by
the heat and smoke in his room and had
to escape in his night clothes. The fire
spread to other buildings and before the
blaze was under control four buildings
had been destroyed. The loss is estimated
at $4,000, with $1,000 insurance. Whlle
citizens were working at the fire the burg
lars broke into the store of William Lau-
benheimer, but got nothing. The burg
lars were last seen at South Germantown.
