ATTACK ON SAN JUAN.
SAMPsON BOMBARDS THE CHIEF
FORT AT THE CAPITAL OF
PORTO RICO AND SOON
SILENCES n.

PoRr AU PRINCE, HAYTI, May l2.-The
American feet under Rear-Admiral Sampson
bombarded San Juan, Porto Rico, today,
The following are the details of the lombard
ment thus far received:
The bombardment began in the morning.
Admiral Sampson. with nine warshlps, ar
rived before San Juan just before sunrise.
At a signal the battle ship Iowa fired the
first shot, which took effect. Then the battle
ship Indiana and the other vessels opened
fire, and in a few moments MORO Tort was
reduced to heap of ruins.
The fort made little effort to respond, and
was silenced almost Immediately.
The Spanish steamer Rita was captured by
the United States auxiliary cruiser Yale,
which took her crew on board.
Thousands of the population of San Juan
and the foreign consuls sought refuge IN the
interior of the island.

One Good Result of the War.

A minister announced i'll Il church i'll this
city before beginning his sermon on Sunday,
April "a, that Providence had permitted the
country to drift into war, against the wishes
of the people, and that it must be for some
good purpose.
One good result, already apparent, is the
obliteration of sectionalism engendered by
the civil war. That sectionalsm has been
fostered and kept alive by politicians and the
press for partisan purposes for third of a
century. Although the Southern people sur
rendered and renewed their allegiance to the
United States in 1865, they have been re-
garded with suspicion in the North, and until
few years ago were denied full participation
in the privileges of citizenship.
Among Mr. Cleveand's appointments was
Gen. Ftzhugh Lee, as Consul General to
Cuba. The relations between the United
States and Spain, in regard to Cuba, have
been more or less strained for more than
twenty-five years. During the close Of Mr..
Cleveland's term the situation was becoming
serious Gen. Lee had shown marked ability
and sincere devotion to his country, and
President Mckinley continued him as Consul
General. Finally affairs took turn that war
seemed inevitable, and by his courage, amid
grave danger, and his judiciouS and prompt
action in protecting Americans and American
interests, there was a burst of praise for Gen.
Lee throughout the whole country. His
name even became household werd in the
North, where once he was regarded as a
traitor, but where also his manhood, courage
and devotion were fully recognized.
When war was declared and the President
called for troops, according to Federal en-
listing officer he found the South more ready
to respond than the people further North. In
the presence of a foreign war the South has
responded to full measure of her duty and
in return the President has recognized this
response in nominating to the Senate for
major generals Fitzhngh Lee, of Virginia,
and Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, two dis
tinguished Confederate calalry officers. By
a unanimous vote Republican Senate con-
6rmed these two -Confederates, both Of
whom are of the opposite political party.
Should opportunity offer these two officers
will be found in the thickest of battle for the
United States, as once they were against, and
the Southern soldiers will prove by their zeal
and courage their allegiance to their govern
ment.
Lee and Wheeler when the land forces are
taken into Cuba, will so distinguish them
selves that their Confederate records will not
be brought against them to their discredit
anywhere.
The war with Spain has, in the presence
of foreign war, obliterated sectionalism and
reunited a people as no other event could

preciate the sterling merits of our Severn

fectly constructed and easy running, but be-
cause the severest tests have proven it to be

Another point particularly in its favor is
the price; a high grade fully guaranteed wheel,
(the Severn at $40. Much under the usual
value, but we sell large quantities and buy at
closest prices.
For those who prefer a special finish, we
have the Quaker, a superb mount. Two

How the Government is Robbed.

When the postoflice appropriation bill was
under consideration, Senator Pettigrew. Re-
publican, of South Dakota, offered an amend
meut providing for Il reduction of twenty per
cent in the amount paid TO railroads for the
TRANSFORMATION Of mails. Senator Quay OPP
posed the amendment, and then Mr.. Pettgrcw
supported it. He said that the statements
presented by Mr.. Quay were purely eX-parte
in their nature. The railroad officials pre-
scented their own statements of fact and drew
their own conclusions from them. He did
not regard this as evidence He charged
that ex -Second Assistant PoStmasterGeneral
Nelson WAS only a creature OF the railroads
and that he had worked in their interests.
The present Second Assistant Postmaster
General Mr. Shallenberger, Mr.. Petigrew
declared, had been captured by the clerks be-
meath him-clerkS who were put into the de
partment when railroad officials were at the
head of it. This. he said. was the reason
why Mr. Shallenherger, in his report. had
stated that the rates for carrying mail during
the past fifteen years had declined ~ per
cent. He was prepared to say that the post
Office officials statements were utterly mac
curate and valueless.
Mr.. Pettigrew maintained in the course of
an analysis of mail and express statistics that
the government paid ten times as much for
transportation of the mails as the express
companies paid for the transportation OF their
matter He illustrated what he termed ''the
fallacy, folly and falsehood' of the st ,temcnts
of Mr.. Shallenberger before the committee by
presenting express and mail transportation
figures. Mr.. Shalenberger was an honest
man. he believed, but he had been imposed
on by subordinates in the department, who
had obtained their places through railroad in
huence in the last two administrations. No
better results could be obtained until ''every
one of those fellows was turned out and a new
