eral Corbin has issued orders that 300
Jewish volunteers who had either join
ed volunteer regiments, or had been

A MOUNTAIN CRUMBLING.
Idaho People Frightened By a Re
markable Disturbance.
Especial to The Herald }

Boise, Ida, Sept. 13-A remarkable
story reaches here from Long valley.
Considerable excitement has been caus-
ed there by seismic disturbance in the
vicinity of an immense butte, which
is declared to be gradually crumbling
away, shaking itself to pieces as though
troubled with chills. Large lodges of
rock have been broken down. Boulders
flew through the forest below. cutting
wide swaths. People who have been
there declare they heard rumbling
near the top of the butte. and this fact,
coupled with the hollow sound heard
by them as they walked along the rim
of the butte. gives the impression that
the crust of the earth was very thin,
and scared them into the beiiei that a
volcano was about to burst forth, and
theY scampered for safety.

A DESPERATE ASSAULT.
spaniards Attespt TO Recspture Cape
San Juan Lishthouse-Defeate
by Marines and warships.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Records spe-
cial from its war correspondent, OH
San Juan, says:
A force of 500 Spanish soldiers made
a desperate attempt to retake the
lighthouse on Cape San Juan early
Tuesday morning. They we're re-
pulsed by a heavy fire from American
warships and by a gallant charge OF
sailors fighting on shore. The Spanish
loss in killed and wounded was very
heavy. After the Americans gained
possession of the lighthouse receutly
it was garrisoned by 40 sailors from
the monitor Amphitrite. This force
was commanded by Lieut.. Atwater.
The battle of Cape San Juan was dis
astrous for the Spaniards. One hun
dred dead bodies were strewn along
the shore where the enemy had fought
and then retreated. In the final rout
they left behind them the machine
gun and many rifles and ammunition
boxes, which were thrown away while
the Spaniards were running for their
lives. Not one American was killed,
but Cadet William II. Boardman, of
Lawrence, Mass, was so badly wound
ed that he will die. 1t was deeI
prudent to withdraw the garrison
from the lighthouse, but il still flies
the American flag and is guarded from
Spanish attacks by the guns of the
Amphitrite.
