4 SUCCESSFUL EVANGELIST
Rev. ". q. Dunnett, q Man Whose GOOD Work g
Widely known-F1e Relates Events i'm His
Career Of General Interest.
From the Smiths Falls Record.

Throughout Canada, from the western
boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean,
there is no name more widely known in tenn
perance and eyangelistic work than that Of the
Rev. w. A. Dunnett. Mr.. Dunnett has been
the Grand Vice-Councillor Of Ontario and
Quebec in the Royal Templars, and SO popular
is he among the members of the order that in
Montreal there is a Royal Templars council
named s'Dunnett Council' in his honor. For
more than ten years Mr.. Dunnett has been 60
ing from place to place pursuing his good
sometimes conducting a series of gospel tenn
perance meetings independently, but always
!aboring for the good Of his fellows. While
N Smith Falls few months ago in connection
with his work he dropped int the Record Office
for little visit With the editor. During the
conversation the Record ventured to remark
that his duties entailed an enormous amount of
bard work. To this Mr.. Dunnett assented, but
added that in his present physical condition
he was equal to any amount of hard work.
But it was not always SO, he said, and then
he gave the writer the following little per-
sonal history with permission to make it
public: He said that for the past thirteen
years he had been greatly troubled with a
pain in the region Of his heart, from which
ne was unable to get any relief. At times it
was dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and
severe. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit
for his engagements, and at all times it
made it difficult to move. His trouble was
always visible to the public and frequently
when conducting service he would give ou,
and doctors had to be called in to attend
him. This occurred to him. in the Yonge
Street Church, Toronto; the Baptist Church
Woodstock, N. B.; the Methodist Church
Carleton Place, Ont. On another occasion

THE SPANISH VERSION,

MADRID, April 29.-The version of
the Commandment of Matanzas by the

Little credence is attached in Madrid

saying the "Americans were obliged to

this the reverend gentleman told in simple

afraid to say I am cured, and yet there is no
man enjoying better health to-day than do. !"
At that time, at Mr.. Dunnett's request,

via Key West, Fla, May 2.-In an

shells in the direction Of the Spaniards.
The enemy's fire was silenced after the
first shot from the New York. Whether
any Spaniards killed or wounded not
ascertained. Spanish bullets were not
observed to come anywhere in the
vicinity Of the flagship, which at once
returned to her station off MORO. The

WASHINGTON, April 3d. The house
has passed tho war revenue bill with
only the amendments agreed upon By
the #Repub lican members Of the ways
and means committee added. In order
to accomplish this q parliamentary ma
neuvre was necessary as the whole
time for amendments was exhausted
BY the minority in trying to amend the
bond feature Of the bill. Mr.. Dingley
offered as substitute an entirely new
bill containing these amendments after
the bill had been reported to the house.
This was an old parliamentary trick
frequently resorted to years ago. Many
amendments were offered to the bond
feature Of the bill, ranging from appro-
priatlon for the substitution of an in.
come tax provision to an authorization
for an issue of $3.50, ZOO, 900 greenbacks.
All Were voted down. At the last
minute the Democrats decided to
Offer the Motion to Recommit
with instructions to report back the in.
come tax proposition as an amendment
to the bill instead of as a substitute for
the bond provision. This was due to
the fact that number of Democrats
had declined to vote to strike out the
bond provision. The motion was de.

SPANISH BATTERIES IN shATANzAS
HARBoR slLENCED.

New York, Puritan and Cincinnati Did
the Work in Eighteen Minutes-span-
ish Gunnery Wild-Fired Numerous
Shots at the Fleet But Not : Vessel
Was Struck-Great Damage Done on
Shore aud the Loss Of Life May BE
Larxe.
!. KEY WEST, Fla. April 28.-There is
an enthusiasm here over the first bat
!. tie Of the war impossible to describe.
It was the reduction and silencing of
the Matahzas batteries, by. small
squadron of the :. blockading feet, al
most without an effort The Joy is not
so much over the result ITSELF as over
the ready demonstration of American
superiority OF Cunnefs and armament:
Not one of the American ships was
struck, the Spanish gunnery being
wild. I have no means of knowing
the number of dead and wounded on
the Spanish side. It must be consid-
able. -.
While the New York, Puritan and
Cincinnati were accommodating in force
for the purpose of locating the batteries
being constructed, the flagship was
fred on by the batteries on Point Rubal
Cava and Point Maya, guarding the
entrance to the larbor. The New York
instantly replied with her forward =.
inch gun on the port side and steamed
boldly in between. the batteries and
was soon blazing away with both
broadsides at them. The Puritan
steamed in behind the New York and
engaged the Notifications on Point
Maya, while the New York went to
starboad close up to land and poured
her shells into Rubal Cava.
Cincinnati Wanted to Come In.
The Cincinnati, which had remained
we'll astern under orders, signaled for
permission to engage, received it, and
soon was firing her guns at the fort on
the west side Of the bay. The batter
les fired explosive shells and most of
them fell wide Of the mark. One burst
just beyond the stern of the New York,
and schrapnel shot exploded above
her. 1t took the ships just Is minutes
to silence the batteries. The last shot
that was fired by the Spanish came
from Point Rubai Cava.
The Puritan replied with one of her
12-inch guns. The shell struck the
battery with wonderful accuracy and
blew up a portion of it. After waiting
for the Spanish to renew the engage
ment, the ships Withdrew, leaving
both batteries IN ruins.
Effect of the Last Shot.
1t would have been worth years
pay to any one to have seen the effect
of the last shot fired, that from the
Puritan's 12-inch gun, for a mass of
stones, earth, etc., went 60 feet in the
air, falling in the rear of the spot where
Spanish gun had been but few min.
utes before. There must have been
many casualties on the Spanish side,
since the rapid fire guns were used on
all the ships, as well as those of larger
calibre.

The Sick Soldiers Were Landed First,

The Sick Soldiers Were Landed First.
Thought 1t Was Dangerous Work.
MoNTAUK POINT, N. Y, Aug. 81
There were about 800 soldiers in all
aboard the Prairie, which grounded on
the Long Island coast yesterday, anu
all were safely landed. The sick were
taken off first. 1t was tedious and dan
gerous work landing them through the
surf, but the life savers did their work
well and all hands were landed without
accident.
The soldiers were fed and cared for
by persons ON the beach until detail
of rough riders came up. They quickly
formed Gordon around the soldiers and
kept the public at a distance, practically
establishing a quarantine, as it was not
known what contagion the troopers
might have brought from Santiago.
The cruiser was fioated. She came to
this place and is apparently uninjQred.
Mr.. @. II. Dickerson of Detroit, who
was stopping at Amagansett, chartered
train and forwarded some of the men
who had been ianded,from the Prairie 60
Montauk Poins. When >the Prairie
fioated the we'll men on board were
conveyed to Fort Pond bay. where the
Prairie dropped anchor. She was not
injured by grounding.

and seriously wounding Corporal Will
lam Anderson of the same battery, who

A detachment of the Fourth cavalry

On the same night some of the SOL
diers doing guard duty saw large
party of natives stripping the wreck of
a gunboat which was lying in Cayite
bay.
A boat, with an armed force, was put
off from the shore. The soldiers hailed
the natives, who failed to answer. Then
the soldier. fired a volley, killing one
and wounding another.
General sagainaldo promptly denied
any connection between the natives IN
these affairs and his army.

capabilities of my soldiers and the
moral effect of our gradually coping
up the enemy within his own lines. My

the Spaniards might break through on

on that score. The result has, think,

only one road, and to have built an
