enemy the marines have met them de-
family and had driven them back.
When night fell Saturday, after six
teen hours OF continuous combat, 1t
loft the Americans as firmly intrenched
ON Cuban soil "a they had been when
the fighting began.
During the long engagement during
the day four Americans, as | have said,
had lost their lives. but the loss OF tho
Spanish is believed to be much greater.
AS have indicated in previous dis
patches, Admiral Sampson has been i'm
to aid in the capture of Santiago. 1t
has been his desire to establish base
on the southern coast OF Cuba. and Ad-
ugr In Santiago herbor seemed to make
that the best point from which TO d.
rect the American operations.
IT became evident TO the admiral,
however, that he might be left without
a base indefinitely If he continued to
wait for the arrival OF troops, and he
resolved TO select some advantageous
point forthwith.
In view OF this situation the selec-
ton o. Guantanamo bay wac most natu-

roses are second only 20 those Of San
uogo and no Spanish llest with slch
rkillful commander as Admiral Cervera
would have to be reckcned with after
the land defcnses were destroyed.
Guantanamo bay is about forty miles
from Santiago and Is admirably suited
to SampSop's purpose.
Knowing the great value Of Guantnn-
amo hay TO the Amerieanp. the Span
aids made as powerful and desperate
resistance as they could. When Cal

morning they withstood the American
fire as long az possible. retreating only

These defeats seemed only 10 aggra-

Made desperate by the :lyIng OF the

DEWEY AT HONG KONG.
English Naval Officers ProHered Uu-
called for sympathy.

English Naval Officers ProHered Uu-
called for sympathy.
General T.. S. johnson received
a letter a short time ago from a re-
tired military friend in Hong Kong.
The writer is a great friend and ad-
mlrer of Admiral Dewey. He was
one of the last to bid the admiral
then commodore--tarewell and wish
him good luck just before he sailed
ITO intercept and destroy the Span
ish fleet"
Gen. Johnson's friend is a mem.
Der OF Hong Kong's SWEETEST Eng
lish club. Dewey and his officers
were guests at the club when they
were in port. Dewey, with his
bluff, hearty and outspoken man
ner, was favorite of all the Eng
lish officers at Hong Kong, as we'll
as the other men at the club.
When the commodore of our
Asiatic squadron received orders to
sail, the Englishmen were sincere
ly sorry for him. The British adj
miral was outspoken in his SYM
pathy.
Commodore" said he, at the
club, the night before the fleet
sailed, you have my best wishes
ana sympathy. If you ever meet
the fleet they will wipe you off the
face of the earth"
Dewew was just little piqued,
but he took the admiral's express
ion in the spirit in which it in
tended.
Admiral" he replied, "if the
Spaniarrds wipe me of the face of
the earth they will realize that
was once on earth"
When the news Of the victor of
Manila bay had reached Hong
Kong it was doubted. At the club
1t was pooh poohed as preposter-
Gus. Not that the best wishes of
the members were rot with the
Americans, but the result seemed
incredible.
oh, you don't know Dewey"
said Gen. Johnson's friend, in ans
wer to their inCredulity.
In thought he went back to the
days Of the sixties. He did not dare
believe the news. 1t was too good.
But he made an American bluff
just the same.
when the news was confirmed
two days later" he wrote, Il was
the biggest man ia Hong Kong.
My chest went cut foot and
was 20 years younger. You should
have seen me strut, and everyone
IN Hong Kong touched MS hat TO
me. Wait till Dewey comes back
here. He will own the town"

AN OLD Old STORY.
The Moral of This Old. Old
Anecdote Will Save a Heap
OF Trouble and Pile of
Money in Sistersville.

Something had gone wrong with
some simple part of a stationary en-
CINE and the stoker could not fix il.
After spending day or two on it,
he was forced to ask the aid of a
more competent workman. He
failed also, and some one suggested
the employment of local celebrity
"a sort of tinker of any mechani-
cal job. There is certainly one in
every locality. He gave two or
three raps with his hammer and
touched up rod or two, when the
pounding or whatever allied the ma
chine ceased. When asked to make
out his bill it read as follows:
