following reply came from Captain
Pease:
Yes. Kootenai's not looking for Of

coast fresh sand batteries are being
thrown up almost every night, but
these are of a fiimsy character and
would be reduced by the fire of the big
guns in a few minutes. The officers
of the blockading fleet believe Captain
General Bfanco is wasting a good deal
of energy in the erection of insignifl-
cart shore batteries.

to the harbor There. as at other
points, most of the work is done at
night. and each morning sees fresh
earthworks thrown up, like fresh ant
hills, against the rusty green or the
coast line.
On Sunday morning the Hornet found
a party putting a telegraph line from
the light house and signal station, a
mile east of Matanzas harbor, to the
battery west of Point Sabanilla, on
the other side of the bay. The batter
les here are said to be of some magni-

To stop this telegraph activity, the
Hornet steamed quietly in and drorIed
a shell in the midst of the workmen.
They scattered like rabbits, and the
line grounded then and there. Several
other telegraph parties have been dis
covered in the same way at other
points. 1t is evidently the intention of
the Spanish to esta blish communica-
ton by wire with all their coast block
houses and batteries, with view, pos
sibly, of massing troops and guns to
oppose a landing whenever threatened.
However, they will probably carry
their wires behind the first range of
hills. where they will be less subject
to sudden interruption.
1t is not possible to mount guns in
all the sand batteries springing up. but
as there is a railway from Havana 10

authorities may be deluding themselves

Welded a Child.

Residents OF Visalia, Cal, are indlg-

had permitted the marriage of httle
child of 10 years to a six-footer 3S years
old to be solemnized. The name of the
tiny bride is Alice Adams, and the
groom is James NJ. Hitchcock. Both are
from Kern county. One strange feature
of the transaction is that the little
girls father, Arthur Adams, was along,
and sanctioned the union. The license
was rot issued until legal advice had
been obtained. The fathers excuse Tor
allowing the marriage was that his d.
