In the launch were bandages
and appliances for the wounded.
From the crowded decks of the
Now York nothing could be seen
of tho Mcrrlmac after she had got
under the shadow Of the hills. For
half an hour officers and men
strained their eyes peering into
the gloom, when, suddenly, the
flash of gun streamsd out from
the Moro Castle, and then all
on board the New York knew the
Merrimac was nearing her end.
The guns from tho Spanish bat
terry opposite MORO Castle, an
swored quickly with moro fashes,
and for about twenty minu tos
flashes Of fire seemed to leap
across the harbor entrance.
The flagship was too farawa
to hosr the reports, and whom the
firing ceased it was judged that
Hobson had blown up tho Merri-
mac. For an hour the anxious
watchers waited for daylight.
Rear Admiral Sampson and Capt.
Chadwick were on the bridge Of
the Now York throughout.
At o'clock thin streams Of
smoke were seen against the west
srn shore, quite close to the Span
ish batteries, and strong glasses
made out the launch Of the New
York returning 10 tho flagship.
Scarcely had tho small craft been
sighted before 4 puff Of smoke
issued from battery on the west-
ern arm Of the harbor and 8 shot
plunged far over tho launch.

THINKS COMPLAINT
rs VERY UNJUST.


&1S0nln8
Superintendent of Streets Little yesterday
Med q formal answer 10 the protest OF
property owners along Second avenue
against the present method OF cleaning the
street by washing. When the protest came
before the board Of public works il was re-
port OF the matter he says.
For several weeks this fall ana during
the damp. nasty weather. the street DEPART
Second avenue In a decent condition while
awaiting the arrival Of new hose: but as
You are aware, failed to do SO. and in con-
sequence the soft mud was .railed to the
sidewalks, into business houses and on
the skirts Of lady pedestrians who were bold
enough 20 venture out.
in short, the condition OF the street was
simply deplorab.s. and was the cause OF
many sleepless nights to your humble serv-
ant. When finally I succeeded In keeping
the street clean by washing, I received the
commentator OF every business house and
every person who had occasion to travel
along or across said thoroughfare, unless
ii was some abutt.ng owner who. while he
must conclude that the method Of clean
ing was great Improvement. imagined he
was being damaged.
"Our first washing required a large
amount of water directly on the brick.
and under good pressure. on account OF
the large accumulation of mud. and prob
ably this was the time that some one had
occasion TO critic.se the work: but IL is a
serious question In my mind whether one
out OF ten OF the petitioners ever examined
the pavement after washing. but from
mere force of habit, when the petition was
presented, simply signed II. Since the first
washing 1t has not been necessary TO use
such pressure directly on the pavement,
and in fact the washing now does no more
harm than heavy rainfall.
Elm conclusion. / must say that think
the tenants who are paying heavy rents
and the travelling public. men. women and
children. including cyclists. are entitled to
some consideration, and should the life OF
this pavement be shortened forty-eight
hours. more or less by reason OF the wash
ing OF the same. IT would 1be more than
offset BY the benefits to be derived by
our own people to say nothing of the ia
vorable impression given to strangers upon
entering the city.
