ISLAND AND FEATURES OF PORTO RICO

near Canuelo Fort wrought complete
destruction. With glasses the officers
of the Montgomery could see the occu-
pants of the fort jumping over the
walls and running away. The Detroit
which went nearest to Moro, had to
train its guns at high angle. Its shots,
directed at the north side of the Nor
ro cut deep burrows in the face of the
Notifications. The Iowa, leading the
fleet delivered its deadly missiles with
great accuracy upon Morro's northern
walls The rest of the fleet fired in
order, first on Moro and then on San
Carlos, according to position. On the
second round the Spanish gunners were
thoroughly awakened, and stood by
their guns bravely, keeping up furi-
Gus, but aimless fire. From their firm
foundation and high elevation they had
a splendid opportunity to cripple our
fleet, but the Spanish gunners seemed
to fire regardless of aim and as if only
DESTROYS of emptying their magazines.
Terror Plays Ia Lone Hand.
At the end of the third round the
monitor Terror failed to understand
the order to withdraw and engaged
Moro castle alone for half an hour
The Terror moved in as if intending to
ram the forts and the Spanish gun
ners evidently became much excited at
its behavior, for they fired rapidly and
evidently without taking any aim, for
the Terror was not touched. Every
shot fired by the Spaniards could be
seen, The flash and smoke of the bat
teries were followed by great splashing

harbor, the Montgomery to the east

with their batteries ready and the men
at the guns. They will show no lights
The other ships in succession will
sweep the entrance of the harbor and
the channel leading into the anchorage
with searchlights to keep the torpedo
boat destroyers from coming out. In
case the enemy should attempt to es-
cape from the port fire is to be coi-cen-
trated on the leading ship. Should the
attempt be made at night the search
lights in use are to be turned on its

The fleet assembled off San Juan
about o'clock and prepared for battle,
stripping the decks and getting the
guns, ammunition and appliances for
handling the wounded ready.
Sampson Moves to tho Iowa.
Rear Admiral Sampson had trans
ferred his flag to the Iowa, and the at
tack on the forts began at 5:15, and
lasted three hours.
The plans Of the admiral were thor
oughly carried out The fleet steamed
majestlcally into the harbor, and in due
course of time opened a tremendous
fire upon the fortifcations.
Three times the warships made the
circuit outlined in the official plan.

WORKS OF ART And SOAP
How a Combination Of the Two is
Making Biz Money.
The Power Of Advertising Shown by The
Profits Of The Pears Soap Company
Of London.

One or the greatest advert1S ing
copcerps in the world is that
which makes Pears soap. Now
soap is very com mon article and
soap manufacturers are very plen
tiful. There are probably thou
sands OF concerns which make as
good a soap or better than the ar
ticle produced by Pears, and yet
their names are unknown to fame
and their products sell only to
few, simply because they do not
advertise them.
The power Of advertising can
not be better illustrated, perhaps,
than in the article of soap. There
are hundreds of thousands of
brands of soap made, from the
common kitchen variety to the
delicately perfumed tiny cakes from
laboratories of Lubin aud Pinaud
in Paris, which are too expensive
for ordinary use. There is pro
badly as much competition in the
manufacture of soap as in any
other product known, for it is a
necessity of daily use in every
family and unlike sugar, flour,
and clothing does not require the
investment of large capital in its
manufacture.
Yet with all this competition the
profits of Pears Soap for the year
ending June 30 last were sim ply
enormous, in actual figures the
amount was $334,970. The annual
statement of the A. and F. Pears
Company, Limited. for last year
shows that the dividends paid
were 10 per cent on the ordinary
shares and "a on the deferred or
binary. Twenty FIVE thous and
dollars was added to the reserve
fund and $4,000 to the deprecia
iion fund and Sl3,725 carried for
ward All this money was made
out of an article which affords no
enormous profits aud which was
sold in the face of fierce compati
tiou. And it was done solely by
advertising.
Some of the advertising methods
of this firm are unique aud would
almost paralyze the old fogy
merchant of former times.
Pears thinks nothing of paying
$4,000 for some great work OF
art that has attracted world wide
attention. He buys picture to
obtain the exclusive right to re-
produce it in engravings and cuts.
which are always done in the
highest style of art aud appear
only in the best class of period
icals, while the advertising matter
about it will likely consist only of
two words Pears Soap" Pears
believes that art and soap go to-
gether, that people whose artist,
tastes are at racted by beautiful
picture will naturally appreciate a
fine quality of soap and U, e plenty
of it Aud Pears is right without
doubt. Who ever saw dirty
unwashed man or woman fire
quenting picture gallery
1t pays to advertise not only
soap but'everythiug else one has
to sell, and the greater the compe
tition the more money must be
spent in advert ing. The best
mediums ouly should be used, for
money can be thrown away as
quickly in advertising as in any
thing else.
The moral of this little story il,
that as far as this community is
concerned, the EVENING BULLETIN
gives its advertising patrons better
returns for their investment than
any other publication in the Ha =.
waiian Islands.
