used by the admiral as means of commu
nication with the insurgents in the in
terror The information which these men
have given has been proven highly valu-
able to the Americans. Their stories of
the disaster to the Spanish soldiers in this
vicinity have been corroborated by pris-
oners captured around the camp.
Another body of five Spaniards was
captured by Ensign A. A. Pratt of the
Marblehead. While cruising in steam
launch outside the bay he picked up a
40-foot sloop containing Spanish cap
tain named Torres and four sailors. They
said they were on their way to Guam
tanamo to get supply of coal for the
lighthouse at Cape Maysi, but the papers
found on the sloop proved that they had
been sent to obtain information relative
to the American forces.
There was a brief bombardment of a
olockhouse up the bay by the battleship
Oregon yesterday, and it is believed that
at least score of Spaniards were killed
Scouting parties report that the block
house was completely destroyed, but that
they were unable to discover any bodies
the remains of the soldiers who had been
killed probably having been carried of
by their comrades.
The marines are growing restless, owing
to the delay in the arrival of the rein.

believed here today that the transports
will reach Santiago not later than Mon

sets launch was some distance ahead
about 80 yards off the fort. There was
no room to turn and our l-pounder could
not be brought to bear. We backed and
turned under heavy fire.
"Cadet Hart operated the gun as soon
as it could be brought to bear, sitting
exposed in the bow and working the gun
as coolly and carefullysas if at target
practice. Cadet Powell had been firing
since the Spaniards opened. He also
was perfectly cool. Both launches ran
out under heavy fire. The number of
Spaniards along the shore was large. The
launches, as soon as was practicable,
sheered, to give the Vixen the range of
the fort. The Vixen and Texas silenced
the short fire promptly.
81 strongly commend Cadet Hart and
Cadet Powell for their cool management
of the launches. One launch was struck
several times. Nobody on either was hurt.
A bullet struck shell at Cadet Harris
feet between projectile and the powder
but failed to explode the latter.
"Coxswain O'Donnell and Seaman
Bloom are commended. as also is the
GOODNESS with which the marines and sail.
ors worked under Spanish fire.

STRATEGY IN BASEBALL.
Make the Pitcher Do Much Extra
Work in the Game.

One Of the cleyerest points OF play
adopted by the Baltimore team in sea.
sons past was working the pitcher by
compelling him to toss up as many balls
as possible without proving handicap
to the Orioles, says an exchange. Oh
course Hanlon's men were in a position
to palm off bits of strategy on pitcher
because they were one OF the most scien
tific set of batsmen ever gotten together
They had way Of dropping a well
placed bunt with the bases filled, bring
ing in a run, and then filling up the cor
ners again. Hanlon used to argue that
every ball pitched was handicap to the
twirler, and his men were therefore in
structed to work off fouls, overlook
strikes, hold out for three balls, and pir
the pitcher, if possible, with three balls
and two strikes. In fact, anything tt
make him waste balls and use up some
surplus energy. The ex-champions have
workeds this job on some Of the best
pitchers in the leagne, and many clos.
game has been won by this system o.
team work at the bat.

On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Dandy, off Guantanamo, via Kings
ton, Jamaica, June 20.-Cuban scouts re-
port today that the inhabitants of Cal
manera have strewn> the streets with
straw and oil, with the intention OF
destroying the city and fleeing to the
hills. Camanera lies four miles up the
bay from Camp McCalla under the guns
of the American ships, and the situation
is desperate. Starving and famine-strick-
en-, convinced of the ultimate triumph OF
the American army, and without faith in
the protection of the Spanish soldiery,
the people are believed to have deter
mined to leave their houses in ashes be-
hind them and seek safety in the hills OF
the moth. The scouts declare that the
story is accurate, and say that every
building of the town is being rapidly pre-
pared for the torch.
The situation of the besieged is fear
full one The people are eating horses and
mules and are securing the hills for fruits
and herbs. Occasionally brief lombard
ments by the American fleet leave the
helpless citizens terror stricken, no prep
arations for defense being made. 1t i:
also stated that the Spanish gunboat al
Caimanera has been loaded with infiam
mables and will be burned with the city
her commander declaring that she will
never become an American prize.
The scouts also say the Spanish soldiers
are in almost as complete state of panic
as are the civilians and that they coulo
easily be induced to surrender. Some o.
the prisoners taken by the marines alst
say that they believe the Spanish troops
are on the verge of surrender, owing t.
the lack of food. Captain McCalla of thu
cruiser Marblehead and Lieutenant Col
onel Huntington, in command of the ma
rnes, are not SO sure, however, of tn,
Spanish rout.
The coast in the vicinity of Guantana
mo is dotted with brighthued Cuban
flags. Numerous camps of the insurgent
have been established along the beacl

NEW LAND GRABBING SCHEME.
Live Stock Company Claims the
Land Left Dry by Receding
Waters.

Washington, June 2O.-A case present
ing some novel and interesting features
has been argued before Commissioner Her
mann of the general land office. 1t in.
wolves the ownership of lands surround
ing Lake Malheur in Oregon and hinges
on the question of whether the owners OF
the land down to the waters edge in 1877
can now hold lands left dry by the reced-
ing waters of the lake. The French
Glenn Live Stock Company is the appel
liant and claims under the surveys of 1877
and laws of Oregon possession of land to
the waters edge of the lake. Since that
year there has been a subsistence of the
water and this company now claims the
vacant land as a riparian right. A large
number of settlers have fled entries for
this land in the local offices of the depart
ment and now the question is as to the
title of the land exposed by evaporation
between 1877 and 1895.

she shows herself in public she is sur

Embarrassed mules, with runners, UNI

The umbrellas are of many colors, but
Taitou's is red.
The empress is a stickler for ETH
quette, to which Meneiek attaches no
Importance. Nobody who has not been
formally presented to her must gaze on
her, even within the precincts of the
palace. She has large kitchen garden,
which Is one Of her many delights, but
The moment the red umbrella appears
the gardeners must retire. All the serv-
ants stand aloof with downcast eyes as
she walks by. Not taking much exer-

her presence ia dignificd. She is won

are well written, and in bright, nat
