KEY West, May 25.-Santiago de
Cuba has been bombarded. All but
one of it's batteries have been silenced.
Two more cables from Cuba to Europe
have been cut Another MORO is III
ruins.
It was accomplished within a space
of "a hours by the cruiser st. Louis
and the war tug Wampatuck.
The Wampatucl carries crew OF 2S
men. None of them had ever been un-
der fire and most of them were raw re-
cruits from the navy yards, who hardly
knew the difference between a Gatln
gun and flagstaff. AS soon as the
Wampatuck was put commission 1T was
attached to the flying squadron. 1t ac-
sampanied Commodore Schley on re-
cent cruise through the West Indies In
search OF the Spanish fleet.
On May 13 the cruiser ST. Louis and
the Wampatuck were detached from
the feet. They were ordered to cut
the foreign cables that start from San
tiago de Cuba and Guantanamo.
Last Wednesday morning the Wam-
patuck began graphing for the cables
about a quarter Of Il mile outside the
harbor. Two of them were brought to
the surface and cut. From one OF them
q piece 100 feet long was chopped and
then one Of the severed ends was car
ried half q mile away from the place
where it had been picked up. The gal
liant little tug was returning toward the
harbor to make another dive for the
cables, when the guns from Morro and
from three batteries Oh the shore below
opened fire on the American ships.
All Wednesday afternoon the cruiser
and the tug threw a shower Of shell
into Santiago. Most Of the firing was
done at q range Of 2,10o yards First
one OF the NOR, ar batteries failed to re-
spond to the American fire, then MORO
began to crumble. Through their
glasses the men ON the Wampatuc1
could see clouds Of mortar dust and
falling walls as the shower OF shells
beat an incessant fire upon them, Al
last Morro ceased firing. "We've shut
her up was the shout that went ur
from the griny, perspirlng crew OF the
tugs deck. And the ere was right

Neither the St. Louis nor the VAN

proceeded from Santiago de Cuba to tn
bay Of Guantanamo, 20 miles eastward
and cut the cable there also. The small
Spanish batteries there opened fire OF
the Americans, but With the usua

An EmpIOye on One of the Reads
Owned by the Family.
NEW YORK, Sept PA young
New Yorker, who two years ago was
heir to hundred million dollars, is to-
day earning a salary as a railroad en-
ploye. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., the
disinherited, Is an assistant engineer in
the mechanical department of the New
York Central, one of the properties
owned by his father and uncles. His
young brother, Alfred. has been .ac-
knowledged publicly as the coming
head of the Vanderbilt family.
Cornelius Jr. is now in Cleveland in
speeding the plant Of the Lake Shore
road. part Of the great Vanderbilt
system.
All the summer the young man. now
himself, devoted himself to his wife
and child at Newport, but with the
coming of fall he buckled down to work
with determination to show that the
strain Of the old commodore and Of his
grandfather had not run out.
Whether the position the young man
has accepted is the first step toward
a reconciliation with his father remains
to be seen. DR.. Depew would not dis
cuss that phase Of the question.
THE position to which the young
man has been appointed is in the con-
troll Of Cornelius Vanderbilt ST." ne
said today. THE appointment, too, ~
of recent date, and there IS little doubt
that Mr.. Vanderbilt Jr. will distinguish
himself in the place he now occupies.
It is one where capability and diligence
will tell, and is in the direct line Of
promotion"

Miss SchIey Tells Why She Tried to
Stop the Late War With Spain.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Miss Jessie
Schley, of Milwaukee, whose cousin
helped to crush Cervera's fleet, is in
New York. She has just returned from
Cuba and she says some curious things
about the war and her remarkable part
in it.
When first began to agitate against
war with SPAIN" she said, II wrote
to Cousin Scott and asked him not to
fire the first shot. He wrote back and
asked me if he had my permission to
fight if the Spaniards shot at him first
l told him if he thought he was right
to go ahead. He is a sailor and a
good one. He did his duty, but 1T was
an unholy war just the same. Spartan
women used TO urge their men TO war.
1t is for American women to urge their
men to peace.
How did l first come to take such
an active interest in the peace move
ment? Well, 1t came upon me In a
moment Of prayer. l was kneeling in
the little Corpus Christi chapel in
Paris. Tell the public I was kneeling
in a Spanish church, and let the enc
mics of peace make the most of it,
God does not love a good Spaniard
less than a good American, and He
tude that he does individuals.
while praying the thought came to
me that American women must stop
the war. l went to work and organic
ed at once the Women'S International
League for Peace In three weeks the
league had 5000 members, mostly
Professionals. Our first meeting was held
in the home Of Cornelius Vanderbilts
brother-in-law. Then a general peace
convention was held, at which five prin-
cipal peace organizations of Europe
We're represented. l was elected COM
mittee Of one to go to Madrid and in
form the queen regent and Senior Sa-
gasta that they were whipped. Senior
Moret received me kindly and showed
Spain. The Spanish public knew 1 was
Roman Catholic and a friend of Spain
and L detested the war; so I had no
trouble in securing listeners"
Do you know who destroyed the
Maine?"
1T wasn't the Spaniards. 1t was
some of our American jingoes, who en-
tered into conspiracy with the Cuban
Jlngoes for the purpose of setting
Spain and the United States at each
others thrOats. l know this assertion
will create storm, but it is the truth.
Why should they hesitate to destroy a.
few American lives and a great war
SNIP wien lHey were plotting or war
that meant the slaughter Of thousands?
Born in wickedness, I should say it
was. l went to Havana and. after
paying my respects to Gen. Blanco and
the other Spanish officials, 1 went to
an 1nsurgent camp. They had been
creating disturbance and my fighting
blood was up. I used plain language
with them. 1 told them that if they
did not quit fighting we would cut
their threats and annex Cuba. They
quit.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is a firebrand He
should not be sent to Cuba. The best
OF Spaniards and Cubans dislike him,
They say his coming will create trou-
bic. 1t is time for the best element
of this country to assert itself and put
the Lees in the background"

TOBACCO TRUST EXTENDED.
Plant of the Drummond Company
Purchased for Ten Millions.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 24.-The Drum
mond Tobacco company, it is reported,
has passed into the hands of the Amer
lean Tobacco company, otherwise the
trust.
A stockholder of the Drummond COM
pany says the trust borrowed a large
amount of the stock Of his company,
which will be reissued and the proceeds
will raise the cash necessary to buy
out the interest of the Drummond fam
fly, which demands a large amount Of
cash.
The price for the plant Is said to be
$4,000, 900, but of course it will not be
in cash, a number Of the stockholders
going into the trust, thus retaining
their stock.
President Drurnmond, of the Drum
mond Tobacco company, today denied
the story that the plant had been sold
Stockholders of the Drummond COM
pany also deny the story, but it is
known that representatives Of the
American Tobacco company have been
in the city for some time negotiating
for the plant.

SOME SERIOUS WORK.
1t Will BE Brought Before the Brit
ish-VenezueIa Arbitrators.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The ap-
preaching meeting at Paris of the
British-Venezuela court of arbitration,
Of which Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tice Brewer are arbitrators in behalf
Of the republic, will be hardly second
in Importance to the meeting at Paris
Of the peace commission; owing to the
crisis which the Venezuela question
raised between the United States and
Great Britain during the Cleveland ad-
ministration and the extent to which
the Monroe doctrine is involved The
present plans are for the court to hold
a preliminary session IN January, at
which time Justice Brewer will go to
Paris. But Chief Justice Fuller is not
likely to go to the first meeting, as
the United States supreme court will
be very busy about that time, and
two members of the bench cannot be
spared at the same time. Justice
Brewer probably will arrange for a
postponement until May, dat which time
both he and the chief Justice will be
free to join the other arbitrators and
to take up the serious work of the
commission.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The Financier
says:
\, whether the actual condition OF the

tnent is matter of doubt, but the ex-
ilIort Is even more favorable than had
&c ,.I anelclpated, SO far as percentages
VI reserves are concerned Several fac
lors on Importance which developed
Wltnln the past few days Influenced
Tue TOTALS. The first of the gold inn,
ports have been added to the snecia
account; the losses to the treasury were
very much heavier than have been re-
ported or late and the interior move
tte.I continues light. By contracting
thelr loans the banks have been able
10 reduce their deposits, thereby trim
ming down the reserve requirements
ana apparently adding to the cash on
mana. In this manner the reserve ex-
cess was Increased no less than S4O12.-
80, or which 81, l83, 800 came from a gain
III specie and legalS, and 81, S2S, SIS from
the IesSened 70 per cent requirement,
que 10 the contraction or ST. 314, 300 in
deposits. AS a result Of these changes
the surplus reserve now stands at So
2o2,875, which does not compare as I'M
TaVorably with the average reserve for
this season in other years, as might
be imagined. The strain on the bank.
IS probably at an end and the heavy
liquidation which decreased loans $780,
100000 during the month of September
will give away to a more moderate adj
1uStment
1T begins to look as though the New
York banks will not be called upon to
the usual extent for crop money. Eighty
millions Of treasury deposits widely
distributed are important in this con-
nectiOn and the recent rise in rates in
New York developed the fact that in
terror institutions had plenty of money
to loan at prevailing rates. Banks here
having a heavy counter business show
a rather large falling off in deposits,
but rediscounting is said to be small.
The recent stringency has developed an
effort to enlarge circulation, and the
increase Of S507, 400 for the week, based
on new per cent bonds, was taken
out principally by two banks. The
statement in detail shows that the
heavier changes in totals were made by
a few Of the larger banks, but de-
creases were the rules through the list
of siXty-fve institutions"
