gram from Sampson says he has
been reinforced by several hun
dred Cubans and that affairs at
Guantanamo are in satisfactory
condition. The town of Acer-
redoros has been occupiad by the
troops under Rabi and Garcia S
men are coopera ating with the
Americans.
There has been some criticism
of sending the marines ashore
against overwhelming odds but
1T now appears that Sampson be-
ileved the transports from Tampa
would arrive the day after the
landing and so prepared to estab-
lish a base of supplies.
Marines are now ashore without
prospect of relief until next Sun
day at the earliest as it would be
bad and dangerous policy to with.
draw from the position secured.
Blue Jackets and marines from
the fleet will doubtless assist
Huntington's battalion.

sumed firing the moment the
enemy appeared, picking them of
like so many jack rabbits and
with as little eompunction.
The enemy then attem oted es.
cape along the crest of the hill,
in the direction Of Spicer's posi-
ton, but the Dolphin again saw
them and sent more shells.
Splcer's men now began to harry
them till in desperation they turn
ed toward Elliott and McGlH,
whose men calmly picked more of
them off.
At the end of an hour there
were 200 dead and wounded
Spaniards on the hills The onlv
casualty on the American side was
one Cuban killed. The marines
were by this time exhausted so
the Cubans were turned loose on
the enemy to follow up the vic
tory. They had been like dogs
in leash and when they started the
Spaniards fled in terror. The
marines marched to the block
house on the seaward side of the
bill where they killed seven or
eight Spaniards and put the rest
to flight.
Here they found the rifles and
ammunition, which were seized,
and the blockhouse was burned.
Next the tank and wind mill
which furnished the Spaniard's s
water supply were destroyed.
Meantime the Cubans had been
driving what were left of the
Spaniards back and forth over
the hill, Staying them remor.e-
lessly.
"Don,t kill us, brothers, :"
cried the Spaniards, whereupon
the Cubans yelled, "viva Cuba
libre," " Viva Los Americanos -
and continued, showing no mercy.
They rounded up the lieutenant
and seventeen privates who sur.
rendered, thus completing the
victory. The bush was beaten in
all directions for the enemy but
only dead and dying were found.
Then, about dark, the men
started for camp, exhausted but
jubilant.
The prisoners we're taken to the
Marblehead. The captured lieu
tenant said he knew that sixty
eight Spaniards were killed and
200 wounded but thought the
total might be twice or three
times as many.

Our ambition ought to be to have

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Corc0ran Attacked an 11-Year Old Girl,
Recently Released From Pr son.

James Corcoran, more brute than
man, will probably pass a long term
at state prison, for he has admitted to
Detective Haberlin, OF Pawtucket. that
he attempted to feloniously assault
Florence Il. Durgin. III years OF age, a
daughter of John f. Durgin, who lives
at No 80 Sterry street, Pawtucket.
The attempted assault took place yes
terday afternoon, in the woods near the
foot of Tidewater street. where Corco-
ran had enticed the child.
The man was frightened away before
accomplishing his brutal purpose, but
the girl was badly scratched about the
face and neck. Corcoran ran to Pleas
ant street, followed by a young man
named Wilbur. who notified Detective
Haberlin, who soon had Corcoran in the
tolls. A little later he was identified
by the Durgin child. and then admitted
his guilt. Corcoran committed SINH
lar assault on young girl In May 1895.
and for that offence served three years.

TWO BATHERS
L DROWNED
Culver Lost His Life in
Ten-Mile River.
HAD SAVED A COMPANION
Arthur Crandsll, q Cooi Swimmer,
Went Down In Todd's Pond.
HAD SAVED A COMPANION
BOTH BODIES WERE RECOVERED

The excessively oppressive heat of the
past few days has naturally caused a
great deal Of bathing In both salt and
fresh water, and, as usual. the result
has beer drowning accidents. Charles
Culver. the 10-year-old son of Frank Il.
Culver of Attleboro. was drowned yes
terday afternoon in the Ten Mile river.
but before losing his young life he had
succeeded In saving younger boy who
was in imminent danger.
The spot selected by the Tboys for
bathing was about quarters OF a
mile from Attleboro. and here num-
ber of lads went In together. One OF
these. Willie Williams, about Q years
old, was unable to swim, and having
got out beyond his depth was in danger
of drowning. when the Culver boy went
to his rescue, and soon brought Willie
to a spot where he could walk ashore.
1t was here that Culver slipped on the
muddy bottom and went down, and be-
fore his young companions could real
ize the fact he was drowned.
His mother was at once notified, and
she, In turn. sent for her husband. who
is employed by his brother, Elmer r..
Culver, and Mr. Culver started for the
river. and on his arrival a raft was
hastily put together and after about an
hour the body was brought to the sur
face by Thomas Robbins. The death or
the boy comes as a terrible blow to the
gref-stricken parents, who have AL
ready had many misfortunes, all OF the
boys i'm the family having met with
more or less serious accidents.
YOUNG RANDALL's DEATH.
Arthur w. Randall IL years of age,

started to cross a cove, just north OF
the ice house, a distance of about 40
feet, and he had covered about two
thirds OF the distance when hae threw
up his hands and disappeareG He
then came up and again went down.
When he came up for the last time he
shouted to Walter Young. who was
about 20 feet away, padding on some
planks, for help. but Young failed to
realize that Randall was drowning and
arrived with the planks too late.
Mr. Todd, who was working on his
farm, was notified, and by means of a
long rake brought the body To the
shore after an hours work. TIE boys
who were with Randall say that the
rcnd Is full of springs. and that there
was one where the accident occurr ed,
and they believe that Randall was
seized with cramps his body being
overheated when he entered the water.
Word was sent To his father in Woon-
socket The latter drove out TO the
pond and found the body Of the boy
lying on the shore covered with an old
rubber blanket Later the body was
removed to Woonsocket.
