ATLANTA, Ga, April 30.-A special to the
Journal from Key West says: Port Ca
banas, a small fortified town, thirty-fiVe
miles west Of Havana on the northern coast
of Cuba, was fired On by the New York
Friday evening and the fort demolished.
The firing began at $50 and lasted fifteen
minutes. The first shots were fired from
the New York's batteries. The New York
and Helena tried to draw fire from the bat
teries of Havan and Mariel, but failed.
Yesterday afternoon the flagship New
York, with eight well-directed shells
from the six-inch gun on her port
bow and two from one of the
eight-inch guns in her forward tur-
ret, completely silenced and rendered unfit
for use both men or guns, two Spanish forts
at Port Cabanas, twelve miles west Of
Mariel and thirty-five miles from Havana.
AS in the case of Matanzas the frs. shot
was fired by a Spaniard.
About noon the New York started up the
west coast. Following the flagship for quite
a distance, came the Iowa, Indiana, Helena
and torpedo boats Porter and Ericsson. But
after Havana was passed where the Helena
went in SO close that a gun crash from
MORO was momentarily expected, the ships.
with the exception of the torpedo boats, soon
returned to their station. Under a full
head of steam, the flagship bowled along
until Mariel was reached. 1t was easy. from
aboard the dispatch boat, without glasses,
to see the commotion raised by the presence
of the wal ships in the pretty little village.
The people rushed wildly about and small
boats quickly put in shore. But there was
no apparent life in either of the forts on
two hills that cover the approaches to the
harbor. The Porter steamed within half a
mile of them, and the New York swung
her anchor at a mile range.
After Admiral Sampson had surveyed
Marie. to his apparent satisfaction he sent
the flagship merrily clipping up the coast.
Again the flagship rode unconcernedly
within half a mile of the forts and the Por-
ter and Ericsson pushed their way ahead.
Suddenly there was a roar of a heavy gun,
a puff of smoke from the shore and the lit
der the lee of the flagship. The officers and
men disappeared from the deck of the New
York and in less time than it takes to tell
1t one six+inch gun in her bow belched
forth. en-
The evening was dying fast. Quick, good
work was necessary. Another hot from the
flagship, one more from the shore and the
fort guns were silenced. Three six-inch
shells had Sufiiced. -Four more shots put a
quietus on the fertilization. The first shot
fired two more shells, one at each of the
Qualifications, to complete the job. There
were no answering shots from shore. Ten
minutes later the flagship let go two of her
shells left a trail of fire easily seen in the
dark shadows of the evening. At this time
the shore was hardly visible and the New
York put back to her station.

The Same Falsirs.

The same "fakirs" and mountehan ks
VINO are claiming good wheat prices
for the Dingley bill are exulting over
the fall in silver that is coincident
with the rise in wheat. The political
charlatans are either so dishonest as
not TO admit patent truth or so ig-
norant that they should be sent to a.
kindergarten school. The fall in sill
yer is the result of the same inexor-
able law that is pushing up the price
of wheat--the law Of supply and de-
mand. Wheat goes up because the
worlds supply is short, the demand
remaining the same. Silver goes
down because the famines in India and
Argentina, that usually call for silver,
this year have nothing to give in ex-
change for it; the demand is less, while
the supply is constant Again the de-
mand is cut short by the laws of the
countries that discriminate against
silver and refuse to use where it was
formerly used, thus cutting down the
demand, while the supply remains
constant. Give crops to India, Argen-
tina and Russia, and let the law recog-
nize silver at home, as it used to do,
and the claw of supply and demand"
will cause the price to bound at once
to S129 an ounce, and stay there

The most ingenious piece of litera-

verse side is an explanation that the

explanation the following language is
used:
The theory Of Republican govern
ment is that when class interests are
permitted to do the thinking for the
people, it results in such class inter
ests utilizing legislation to enrich
themselves, ending in impoverishing
the people, creating a restless and dis
dressed citizenship, and finally despot-
ism to hold the people in subsection;

Mr.. Atkinson seems to be figuring
out that silver is cheaper than twenty
live years ago because it can be pro-
duced at less cost. Apply the same rule
to gold; gold can be produced at less
cost than it could be twenty-five years
ago, and, according to the reasoning of
Mr.. Atkinson, should be worth less in
