The Delaware River the Centre of the Ship
Building Industry.

New York Medlutor.
From the Clyde comes the news that
the ship-building industry there has
not been-so active in 10 years. In the
past IL months GAG vessels representing
$50, 600 tons have been launched. A
boom in shipbuilding in this country
may also be expected confidently. We
shall need many more vessels to carry
our commerce under the Stars and
Stripes to and from various ports OF
the United States in the hemispheres.
The Delaware River from Philadel-
phia to Wilmington, Del, will be
another Clyde, and be equally renowned
in building famous ships.

Rome and her toga-wearing citizens

ancient, been used as a setting by many
| norelists. For a romantic novel OF

ting background than the palaces and
temples OF Rome and the superb villas

! whether of bloody strife or of peace
and serenity, is suspended the beauti-
full Italian sky. 1t is a rusful thing
| to know that one cannot find peaceful
tale of olden and classic Rome and of
the introduction of Christianity-it is
incompatible that Christianity should
have pervaded the world only BY means
of violence and bloodshed. Yet almost

is one of foreign and civil wars.

the market continues rather dull. In
pig Iron operations are small, as che
rupture of the southern furnace combi-

is stated that the decline has not
amounted to more than 25c per ton so

the past week. There is fair inquiry
for pis Iron. Bar iron Is being bought
by the agricultural implement makers
and there appears ito be something OF n
revival In car building. The demand for
sheets has dropped of considerably, but
there Is more buying in merchant steel.
Attention In the Cincinnati market has
been taken up largely by the foundry

It4s hard TO tell Just where pls iron
prices are but the furnaces are slow to

best equipped mills are taking the big
contracts for bars. AT Cleveland some
sales of Ressemer Iron have been made
at figures below the valley agreement.
The billet market is quite dull. At

CAMP McCALLA, Guantanamo Bay,
Wednesday. June l5, $50 p. M, via
Kingston. Jamaica, Thursday. June 1s.-
s a. m.-The brick fort and earthworka
at Calmanern at the end Of the railroad
leading to the city OF Guantanamo, were
demolished to-day by the bombardmeat
Of the Texas, Marblehead and suwanee.
The warships opened fire at p. M. and
the bombardment lasted one hour and
thirty minutes.
The Texas steamed slowly up the
channel leading to the fortificatlons fol-
lowed closely by the Marblehead. The
Texas fired two shots as range finders,
both falling short. and to the right. The
Marblehead stood Off to the west side Of
the channel and opened with her five-
inch guns on the fort, knocking down
part of the wall.
The Texas then threw In some twelve
inch shells. tearing down the wall OF the
fort and throwing the bricks and mortar
thirty feet In the air. fi4 Is
After badly damaging the fort the
Marblehead stood further in to shell the
earthworks and barracks at the west
end OF the harbor. She knocked them
into the air, and when the Spaniards fed
! from the fort they were shelled by the
St Paul and driven into the bushes.
The Spaniards fired only five shots,
which did no damage.
After the ships stood out into the hnr-
Dor, the SpanIards in the bush opeped
fire on the Marblehead's launch, which
replied vigorously. n 81
The Suwanee then turned back and
ehelled the bushes, driving the Span,
iards inland. -.
During the afternoon half starved
and ragged Spanish soldier crawled Into
camp and gave himself up. He said he
expected to be shot but he would gladly
die II they would only give him food and
water. He had had neither for forty
eight hours. -
He reported that there were 1000
Spanish soldiers half starved who want
ed to give themselves up, but that they
believed they would be killed by the
Americans rs soon as they were once in
captivity. The Spaniard was given
good dinner and some clothing, and was
then taken on board the Marblehead.
He declared that he would gladly go
back and report TO his comrades. but
that they would certainly shoot him
He Is now held as a. prisoner on. the
Marblehead.
The Marblehead's little steam launch
cleared out detachment Of Spanish
bushwhackers this afternoon, and es-
caped without the loss Of man after a
hot engagement Of quarter OF an hour.
The launch had been dragging the har-
Dor near the fort for mines, had found
one and was towing It bnck to the Mar
blehead when the enemy, concealed In
the bushes on the shore, opened a hct
fire on the five men in the launch. The
launch headed toward shore and began
banging away, but the bow gun finally
kicked overheard, carrying the gunner
with It. In the meantime the enemy
was fleeing wildly. The marine was
promptly rescued. It Is believed that
several Spaniards were killed.
