disadvantage with the guerrillas, who are
past grand masters of this peculiar plan of
campaign of savage rather than civilized
warfare. The men sink through the trop-

some with their naked bodies concealed
with palm leaves, so that they are neither

cruiser New Orleans, having been ordered
by Rear Admiral Sampson to destroy the
new emplacements half a mile east OF Eel

iards had been working. took up a posi-
ton at o'clock this morning about eight
hundred yards from shore and two thousand

fire guns. Red clouds of sand rose on the
hill top where the emplacements were

After twenty minutes gun practice Admiral
Sampson signaled the New Orleans to

signal firing well DONE" the first compli-

The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius joined the
fleet yesterday and was put to work imme-
diately. Ensign Palmer, of the New York,
went on board the Vesuvius, with Lieuten-
ant Commander Pillsbury, to explain the To-
cation of the batteries. A few minutes from
midnight the Vesuvius was about half a
mile from the beach west of Ell Morro The
Oregon's search light played on the battery,
while the black nose of the cruiser pointed
at the westward batteries. Lieutenant
Commander Pillsbury gave the word to fire
and Lieutenant Quimby opened the air vent.
There was a slight kissing, sort of cough
ing noise, but no flame, no report no warn
ing to the Spaniards who were hiding in the
darkness. Thirty seconds later dull roar
broke the silence of the tropical night. Two
hundred pounds of gun cotton had exploded
on the hillside below the battery.
The ships on the blockade lines two miles
away shook with the explosion. The firing
of a thirteen-inch she'll is a mere rifle crack
compared to the deep and mighty roar.
Clouds of earth thrown up from the hills
seemed to stand out against the black sky.
Another package of gun cotton was dropped
on the other side of the battery and may
possibly have struck the torpedo boats an
chored below. Before the echoes of the
second died away the Vesuvius sent third
charge kissing out. 1t fell right on the
brow Of the hill where the battery seemed
to lie. Into the air flew tons Of earth and
the smoke covered the land for half mile.
The Vesuvius retired at a sixteen-knot rate.
Two flashes from the hill and two Spanish
shells flew beyond the cruiser. The test
was regarded as highly satisfactory and
there is intense interest in the fleet over this
first trial in war of dynamite cruiser.

They Fight More Like Savages than

OFF GUANTANAMO BAY, June IA,
noon on board the Associated Press dis
patch boat Dauntless, via Kingston, jana
lea, June Is, a. m.-There was no renewal
of the attack on the marines last night.
They slept in the trenches with their rifles
beside them, protected by a heavy picket
line of insurgents and marines, under the
command of Leutenants Lenore and Smith.
The pickets had strict orders not to fire
unless commanded to do so. There were
several alarms, but firing during the
night In consequence the men awoke much
refreshed after four days and nights of
continuous work and lighting. 1t was sup
posed the enemy had retired to the wind
mill on the south coast, the only remaining
source of water supply. The windmill was
shelled at intervals all day yesterday by
the Dolphin, but the Spanards were still
there this morning.
At o'clock the enemy made an unex-
pected sharp attack on the American rear
and left flank. When the pickets came in
for relief the Spanish guerrillas crept along
behind them and got within hundred
yards, when the accidental discharge of a
rifle in the trenches led them to believe
they were discovered and they opened fire
with a volley. which whistled harmlessly
overhead They had shot too high as usual.
The marines then scrambled from their
steanling coffee and hard tack back to
the trenches and met the guerrillas with
a ragged but well-directed rife fire. In 3d-
Cition, five field pieces, mounted at angles
in the trenches, and the machine guns
poured a hail of bullets into the chapparel,
scattering the main body of the Spaniards
in ali directions. Shells were dropped into
their midst as they ran. A few of the enemy
stood their ground desperately on the left
flank and the crack of the Mauser rifles
and the pings of their bullets were heard,
rather than seen, for an hour. as the
smokeless powder used by the Spaniards
made their location in the dense underbrush
almost impossible to detect. The Panther
fired six Founders into the Spaniards while
the marines were engaged in beating off
the attack. Only one man was wounded
and he had only slight injury on his
hand.
The Cubans, who acted well last night,
were with difficulty forced out of the
skirmish line this morning. Some of them
refused to be driven. even when struck by
