San Francisco, June 15.-Shortly after
noon the announcement was made that
the steamer Senator, which had been
lying at her dock all night taking on a
cargo and undergoing repairs, was
ready to go into the stream, and about
1 o'clock the order was given to cast
off. At the same time Major General
Greene ordered the transports Colon,
China and Zealandia, which had an
chored off the mail dock last night, to
weigh their anchors and then proceed
up to the bay to Join the Senator,
which had continued her voyage ocean
wards without coming to anchor.
Thousands of people had assembled
along the docks to witness the depart
ure of the fleet, and when the signals
ordering the vessels to get away were
observed a mighty cheer went up.
Added to the cheering of the people
was the blowing of whistles and the
ringing of bells. Every steam vessel in
the harbor with steam up blew long
blasts from their sirens, and every
factory and mill in the manufacturing
district saluted the vessels with blasts
from their whistles. Bombs were eX-
ploded, and cannon were fired, and
amidst this hubbub the four stately
vessels, bearing their loads of human
ity and munitions of war, passed down
the bay.
The excitement was intense. The
water front was black with people,
and the waving of flags and handker-
chiefs presented beautiful sight. The
vessels in the harbor dipped their col
ors as the transports passed by, and
countless yachts and other small craft

MARINES REINFORCED.
Large Body of Cubans Come to Relief
of Americans.

Washington, June 15.-Like the relief
of the beleaguered at Lucknow came
the welcome news to the navy depart
ment this afternoon that the little band
of American marines who had planted
the flag ON Crest hill and were defend
ing it night and day against heavy
odds-were not only safe, but were
strongly reinforced by 1,500 Cubans
from the commands of Garcia and
Rabi, and were now strong enough to
more than hold their own. 1t was dis
closed in a dispatch from Admiral
Sampson, and brought much relief to
naval officers. The early reports had
indicated that the marines We're sur
rounded, and it was feared that they
might be compelled to return to the
ships before General Skaters invading
army reached there on Friday.
The coming of the Cuban forces
seems to have been in the nick of time
and the naval officials give the fullest
credit to the timeliness of this Cuban
cooperation.
Probably the most significant feature
of the admirals dispatch was the state
ment that the Cuban General Rabi
had occupied Accerraderos, only eight
miles from Santiago, and practically a
suburb of that Spanish stronghold. 1t
was the execution of a plan arranged
IN Washington some weeks ago, when

Quimby opened the air vent. There
was a slight kissing, a sort OF coughing
noise, but no flame, no report, no
warning to. the Spaniards, who were
hiding in the darkness.
Thirty seconds later a dull roar broke
the silence of the night. Two hundred
pounds of gun cotton had exploded on
the hillside below the battery. The
ships on the blockading lines two
miles away shook with the explosion.

mighty roar. Clouds of earth thrown
up from the hills seemed to stand out
against the sky.
Another package of gun cotton was
dropped on the other side of the bat
terry, and may possibly have struck the
torpedo boats anchored below.
Before re-echoes of the second died
away, the Vesuvius sent a third charge

to be. Into the air flew tons of earth,
and the smoke covered the land for
half a mile.

Spanish shells flew beyond the cruiser

in the fleet over this first trial in war

of sand rose on the hilltop where the

piled with one shell, that fell near the
stern of the flagship New York. After
20 minutes gun practice Admiral Samp-
son signaled the New Orleans to cease
firing. Then, as she retired, the Moro
batteries sent 10 shells after her, but
without damage. Admiral Sampson

to go to Manila. The Nevadans are
poorly equipped. Many have no uni

the guests of Captain Gaines camp at
lunch today, and this evening were
located at their own quarters nearby.

A SwindIe Popular in Kansas.

Not very long ago delivery of gro
ceries was being made in one of the
towns of Northwest Kansas. For some
reason the firm supplying the goods
did not feel like trusting the :'agent''
who was in charge, and to make sure
that they would get their money out of
the deal they placed the matter in
charge of a bank cashier OF a neigh
boring town, and paid him SO day
and expenses to superintend the de-
livery of the goods. This is pretty
good evidence that these companies
are not in the business for their health.
And here is one Of their sharp prac-
tices: Their coffee, which was about
the vilest mixture that ever went un-
der that name. was put up in nicely
decorated tin canisters. On top OF each
OF these was tied a pound or so OF the
best coffee on the market, these smaller
packages being marked, BOX too full:
overflow in this package" Naturally
the buyers would use the coffee con-
tanned in the smaller package before
opening the can. and not until this
was gone would they realize how badly
they had been soaked. The coffee in
the can was absolutely unfit for use.
and more than one buyer threw it aside.
One day last week an old German who
had swallowed the bait OF the travel
tng grocery agent" entered store in
Beloit. ''How much do you charge
for ground pepper" he asked. He was
told that he would be furnished with
all the ground pepper he could haul
away sfor 40c a pound. '.Vell," he
sDorted, IDIOTS we're dem agents sell
me agin. pays dem 60c pound for
lot Of ground pepper, an ven puts
p spoonful 10 my mouth / don't know
vedder my mouth been full OF pepper
or corn meal" His experience has
been that of countless others who have
been taken In In this manner. The
story has been told so often that It
would seem to be about time for the
people to steer clear OF any such
scheme. Stick to the home merchant.
