the actual personal experience of our

Nobody was injured. and being under
orders not to attack the batteries the
ships retreated as fast as their engines
would carry them. The ships during the
day lay about six miles OFF shore, but
a night they go in closer. which is why
they were caught in range.
The Spaniards had the range, and ap-
parently were grimly In earnest in their
last efforts to wreak injury on their too
mighty enemy. 1t was. however. almost
as futile an effort as in every preceding
struggle. Shells fell between the San
Francisco and Sylvia; some fell short,
few went over them. All the shells fired
at the vessels We're from ten or twelve
inch guns and they were exactly TWEEN

story in brief Is that the Spaniards in

forces at 5000 with four rapid fire guns.
He says the Spaniards had a total of

the stock was expended at p. m. on
July l. when General Vara del Rey
gave the order TO retreat - "SalveZ

was called to u newspaper statement to
the effect that the board, at the hear

and Cornelius Harrigan from tho deci
sion of tho New Castle County School
Commission, which had decided that
Stephen S. Armstrong was elected
school commissioner Of District No. 81
INIT. Cuba), had reversed the decision
of the commission, and declared Cor
eulius j. Harrigan elected, instead OF
Robinson, and the board requested the
secretary, James III. Hughes, to correct
the statement. At the hearing before
the board, it appeared that the certifi-
cate Of the election held on June 18th,
1898, had not been filed with the audi
tor of accounts, as required by law,
and, by consent of counsel on both
sides, the board ordered that the deci-
sion of the commission should be re-
fversed, and the matter left asst had
been before. The board felt tfrat the
question was one of the rightsto IN
