as placing a Sunday school picnic. The
Marblehead, backed by the Vixen and
Dolphin. opened fire on the earthworks
the previous day The shores to the right
of the entrance were lines with guns and
rifle pits, but the Spaniards stampeded
after few shots. The city of Guatana-
mo lies four miles up the bay, and little
Spanish gunboat came down: to help the
shore batteries. But she stayed just long
enough to turn around. Numerous shots
were fred by the Spaniards.

talon of marines. which landed from the
transport Panther on Friday and encamp-
cd on the hill guarding the abandoned
cable station at the entrance to the outer
harbor of Guantanamo, engaged in head
ing off a rush attack by Spanish guerril-
las and regulars Saturday. The fighting
was almost continuous for thirteen hours,
when re-enforcements were landed from
the Marblehead. Four of our men were
killed and one wounded. The Spanish
loss is unknown, but it was probably con-
siderable
The engagement began with desultory
firing at the pickets, thousand yards
inland from the camp. Captain Spicer's
company was doing guard duty and was
driven in, finally raliying on the camp and
fepulsing the enemy. Each discovery of
the enemy was greeted by the cracks of
carbine fire along the edge of the camp
ridge or by the long roll of the launch's
machine gun, searching the thickets with
leaden stream.
ShoAly after midnight came the main
attack. The Spaniards made a gallant
charge up the southwest slope, but were
met by repeated volleys from the main
body and broke before they were one-third
of the way up the hill. but they came so
close that at points there was almost
hand-to-hand struggle. The attacks were
continued at intervals throughout the rest
of the night. with firing from small squads
in various directions. Toward morning
the fire slackened. Dawn is the favorite
time for attack. and as the east paled the
marines, lying ON their guns. were arous-
cd. Some were actually asleep. as they
had no rest for forty-eight hours. and
tired nature could no longer stand the
strain But no attack came. The ma
rines. though exhausted. were eager for
more fighting, promising to inf1ict heavy
punishment. This was the situation when
the dispatch boat steamed away toward
tie American fleet.

The invasion of Cuba by the American
forces began in earnest Friday, when six
hundred marines pitched their tents about
the smoking ruins Of the outer fortitlca-
tons of Guantanamo, and the Stars and
Stripes for the first time doated from
Spanish flagstaff in Cuba To Capt. Clark
and the hattleship Oregon belong the hon
or of accomplishing the first successful
landing of the war. Forty marines from
the battleship went ashore in the morn
ing and occupied the left entrance of the
bay until the troop ship Panther arrived
with 600 marines. These, under the COM
mand of Lieut. Col r. W. Huntington,
arrived at 3 O'Clock, ana within half an
hour they had burned the buildings of the
Spanish camp and had set fire to the mis-
cradle little village which crouched on the
~ rs finder 'thes hilltop of Guatanamo.
The first boatload had scarcely landed
when the village burst into flames. Com
pany 3, under Lieut.. Hall, was the first
ashore, and without the loss of q moment
the column started up the steep, rocky
hillside to the earthworks. For an hour
a brown column of marines filed up this
narrow path, eventually taking up q posi-
ton at the top of the hill AS soon as
the American flag was swung out to the
breeze from the flagstaff of the captured
Spanish camp the Oregon steamed away
to rejoin the feet off Santiago. The ma
rnes were instructed to hold the position
until the arrival Of the expected troops,

guns and landing the forces was as easy

WARNED NOT TO SINK HIS FLEET;
Admiral Cervera Has Been Notified
by Sampson.


The Navy Department sent orders to
Admiral Sampson to notify Admiral Ger
vera that if the latter destroys his four
armored cruisers and two torpedo-boat de-
stroyers to prevent their falling into our
hands, Spain at the end of the war will
be made to pay an additional indemnity
at least equivalent to the value of those
vessels. 1t has been realized all along
that the Spanish admiral, rather than per-
NIT his fine fleet to be added to the United
States navy, might at the last moment,
when he saw that further resistance was
useless, prefer to blow it up. 1t was
assumed at first that if Cervera cared to
do this nothing could be done to prevent
it. The Navy Department hopes, how
ever, to convince him. by the above argu-
ment of the folly of doing anything so
rash.

Training Schools for Nurses.

Marion would like TO know which Is
the best training school for hospital
nurses. We would not advise any
young woman to look toward nursing
for a living That is mans sphere en-
tirely. When young woman enters
a hospital TO become a nurse, she
generally does so as result of selfish
motives; some selfish vanity is urging
her. Sometimes she does 50 to free her
eli from home restraints. Where there
is one good female nurse there are hun
dreds of failures. Learn to keep house

mend. and the world will be better for
your having lived in it; go to a hos

are educated in separate schools have
less 10 distract their minds than if they
constantly meet in and out Of school
hours. Ii is almost impossible 10 keep
the idea Of beauX and lOyer-like atten-

business flies out of the head. to come
back no more while that mischieyOuS
rascal Cupid holds possession. Where
there are no such distractions pupils
are likely TO become more completely
absorbed in their studies, and often
give them undivided attention when
otherwise they would go through their
school duties with a half-heartedness
that would never produce satisfactory
results.-New York Ledger.

a NOVEL HEN PARTY.

Each Guest Brought as Contribution
Real Live Chicken.
The Boston Traveller tells of a new
kind OF hen party that has found favor
in that city. 1t bears no resemblance
to the time-honored idea that tea and
chitchat, gossip and smart hats, con-
stitute the necessary adjuncts to these
particular gatherings. The interest
centers about real live hen OF feath-
ers. her chicks and her eggs. The
party originated in this fashion: A
young bride and groom took house
in the suburbs and went TO housekeep-
ing. A mischievOus friend called to
see them and discovered on the prem
Uses a deserted hennery, which sug-
gested an idea to his fertile brain.
He at once communicated his idea TO
other friends, who arranged secretly
for a genuine hen party. On pleas
ant day the invited guests met at the
railway station and proceeded in a
body to the new home. Each one car
| ried live hen, chick or dozen
eggs for Matching purposes. The scene
which occurred when thirty-six guests
arrived with thirty-six installments
| for the hennery was decidedly ludi-
crous. When the little hostess recov-
cred breath she produced her chocolate
cups and tea biscuits and the groom
showed himself a man Of resources by
offering a prize for the most laughable
| incident connected with the purchase
OF the fowls. One OF the rules of this
new game is that the hens must not
be sent by express, porter or other
means of conveyance, but must be de-
Iivered by the purchaser. 1t is sug-
gested that these feathered donations
would prove great success in chart
table affairs
