THE FIGHT OFF MATANZAS.
Dupont and Hornet Had q brush
With Batteries.

Key West, May THE torpedo boat
Dupont came in tonight and reported q
sharp engagement of Matanzas last night
and this morning. The Dupont and aux
iliary cruiser Hornet were cruising hear
the shore last night and when about GOO
yards from land, were fired upon by a
body of cavalry about 200 strong which
was spread along the shore on the look
out for filibusterers. According to the
Dupont's story both vessels returned the
fire, scattering the Spanish troops and
then bombarded the Matanzas fortifica-
tions. There were in the nature of sand
blockhouscs, nine in number. The bonn
bardment lasted from 4 o'clock to $3.50
The Dupont men say that their shells
toppled over the barricades in course Of
erection and they are sure that many of
the Spanish soldiers were killed as they
afterwards saw wagons taking away dead
or wounded. The survivors fled to the
hills.
This morning the Matanzas fortifla.
tions opened fire, sending three S-inch
shells at the Dupont and Hornet. They
were lineshots but the boats were out of
range. The Dupont and Hornet then re-
sumed the bombardment and continued
it until $50 o'clock. The Dupont men
think they have effectually silenced what
the big fleet left Of the Notifications there
and that in the two engagements the
boats fired about 200 shots.

"What in the world are they fighting
about. anyway" asked a young girl in
an Atlanta store Saturday morning.
"For liberty. my dear child" replied a
companion, with an air of superiority.
"Our country must not be insulted by
the Italians"

ly protested the first speaker.
"Well, they are all the same. 1t makes
no difference who it is we are fighting;
it is the principle Of the thing we are
after"
"Has anybody been shot yet!' asked
the first speaker.
"I really didn't read the news clearly
this morning." was the reply.
Then they turned their attention to
the bargain counter, and the war was to-

party displayed considerable friendship
toward the socialists, making no contests
against the latter in % districts. The
conservatives were nearly wiped out, the
moderates lost two seats, the socialists
gained three and the radicals eight seats
II is probable that considerable progress

RATS DRAFTED INTO SERVICE
Brniny Foreman Makes ROden tt
Clean Clogged Sewer Pipes.

Tom Mcguire is genius. He is yard
foreman at the Laclede Gas Company's
plant. A sewer pipe leading from one
Of the buildings to the river bank, lG0
feet away, became clogged. The pipe was
sixteen feet below the surface. Mcguire
had been thinking about a plan for sew.
eral days One night he caught two big
gray rats, and these he determined To
put into the sewer. They were taken to
the mouth Of the river at the river bank
and released. The opening was then
closed securely behind them, leaving the
animals with only one chance Of life. That
was to go straight ahead. And they did.
Several more rats were caught and turned
into the sewer until dozen were gnaw-
ing away at the pipe. The morning af
ter the last detachment joined the main
army water began to trickle from the
pipe. Iron rods and steam were applied.
In ten minutes the sewer was clear.--St.

FLOODS AROUND MULBERRY
Arkansas Town In IA Terrible Pre-
dicament.

Mulberry, Ark, May 7.-1his town is
in furore Of excitement tonight on ac.
count of the high water. In every di'
rection for miles last night could be
heard the screaming Of women and chill
dren who were clinging to limbs. trees
and houses. Many Of the citizens have
been building boats and are rescuing per
sOns from the river bottoms. Many are
missing, and no estimate can be made Of
the number lost or drowned. The sight
is hcartrending. The water was never
known TO be 80 high. Many houses that
have stood for years have been washed
away. Water was backed over the rail
road track three miles from the river
and is still rising.

finishing touches were given Cavite by
the Petrol and Concord. The Raleigh
grounded twice in shallow water during
the engagement.
Cavite in Utter Ruins.
Cavite is in utter ruins and also the
surroundings. The gunboats have been
scuttled and the arsenal was on fire and
exploded, causing great mortality. The
commodore of the feet on board the Re.
ina Christina was wounded and her cap
tain, lieutenant, chaplain and the mid
shipmen were killed by shell striking
the bridge.
Eighty of her crew were killed and GO
wounded.
On the Castillo 100 were killed and 60
wounded.
Spanish Losses Over 1000.
The Spanish losses aggregate more than
q thousand. There were no casualties
among the Americans except that six Of
the Baltimore's crew were slightly wound.
ed by one of the enemy's shells striking
shell on the deck and exploding it.
There were three shot holes in her upper
works, five in the upper works of the
Olympia and a whaleboat smashed on the
Raleigh. No other damage was done any
where.
The disparity between the injury in
flicted on the Spanish fleet and that sus-
tanned by the Americans is due to the
superior guns of the later and the super
ior craftsmanship at long mnge.
The Manila Esplanade Krupp l0-inch
guns were fired continuously, but the
Americans avoided replying and the bat
terry showed a white flag afterwards.
CapitulatiOn StiIl Unsettled.
The terms of capitulation are still un-
settled Commodore Dewey fears rioting
by the rebels il he attempts a lombard
ment.
The forts at the entrance to the bar
capitulated and were dismantled on We'd
nesday. The Americans cut the cable,
but the Spaniards refused to permit them
to use it pending the surrender of the
city, and it is therefore not known what
is tmnspiring on shore.

for 20 minutes, hut the shots were inef,
