Gunboat Leyden Ge-s Into Another
Soap.
Sam BowlDv of Rock Islands naval
reserve contingent, has seen service
gain IN the hostilities in the West
Indies. This time the LevGen, to
which ships crew he belongs, has
been warming things up along the
Porto Rican coast. A force of 500
Spanish soldiers made a desperate at
tempt to retake the lighthouse on
Cape San Juan early Tuesday morn
ing. After the Americans gained
possession OF the lighthouse recently
it was Garf-isoned by 80 sailors from
the monitor Amphitrite. The attack
of the Spariards was begun shortly
alter midnight Tuesday morning.
They advanced from Rio Grande and
Luquillo. On approaching Cape San
Juan lighthouse they opened on our
men with MauseTs aud a machine
gun. The American sailors responded
with steady vollevs from their car
hines, but the Spaniards continued to
advance in overwhelming numbers,
evidently intending TO carry the light
house bv storm. Before the Span
iards, however, could cover the dis
tance. the cruiser Cincinnati, which
lay near shore. was sweeping the in
vaded coast with her searchlIghts and
opened on the enemy with her
5-inch rapid firing guns These
quickly stopped the Spanish advance.
The AM phi tIite also began to hunt for
Span;drds with her searchlights and
to throw among them shots from her
6-pounders. when the little tug
Leyden ran in close to shore, and her
1-pound rapid fire guns joined in
the battle. The firing continued for
two hours, the Spanish troops shield
ing themselves as best they could
from the deadly hail coming from the
ships. The little garrison in the
lighthouse kept its carbines
busy. but it was too weak for 4
sOrtie against the skulking enemy.
At last. however, $50 sailors were
landed from the three American war
Spaniards. so that by davbreak the
eremy was retreating. With shots
from the warships flying about their
ears and the yelling jackies swarming
after them they were sent whirling
down the coast road once more, past
Fajardo and on toward Luquillo. That
ended the battle.
Young Bowlby will oubtless have
many war "reminiscences TO relate |
when he gets through with the SER
vice. His father, ID, Roy Bowlby, |
oy the way. has just had finished tie
developing OF a fine series of photo |
graphs taken by young Bowlby and |
he films of which he has sent |
home. They include views of
he Leyden and other American ships, |
within the range of the camera in the |
hands of Seaman Bowlby, and also |
he New York, Brooklyn. Oregon,
,tc., and scenes along the coast of |
iuba aud also TO some extent inland. |
Bowlby has forwarded home 81 of |
hese views.
Nothing more seems to have been
leard OF Gen. Henry's advancing col
INNS in Porto Rico, of which the 9th
Illinois constitutes 4 part, and which
t was expected might participate in
n important engagement. Hence, in
he absence of no more definite news
We may consider that our boys are
marching on, and as the Spaniards
would put it, without incident"

AN HEROIC SPECTACLE.
a Magnificent Wild West Reproduction of
the Terrible Custer Massacre.


The reproduction of the scenes in-
cident to battle with anything APP
proximating 10 the magnitude and
realism of the event itself is some
thing that the coliseum never saw,
and modern managerial enterprise
never even dreamed of. until recently
Col. Cody. massed the warlike and
equestrian resources of his stipend
Gus Wild West exhibition To success
fully accomplish it. This colossal.
magnificent aweSome innovation will
be presented by Col. Cody al Dayen-
port next Wednesday. and will con-
sist of heroic spectacle and tableau,
so perfectly and realistically lifelike
and complete that nearly 800 men
and horses appear therein; the former
including soldiers. scouts and tribes
of genuine Sioux warriors, and the
latter being taught to simulate death
upon the battlefield with most realis-
tic and pathetic effect. Some of the
Indians engaged were actual partici-
pants in the Custer battle on the Lit
tie Big Horn. the memory OF which is
thus thrillingly and graphically perpet-
uated. In the opening scene an In
dian village, the inhabitants of which
are INDUCING in wild and careless
carousal over a recent victory. is pre-
scented. Unobserved. one of CUSTER
scouts appears and retires to report
the situation to that generals COM
mand. Next bursts upon the view
the splendid, free-reined. spirited
cavalry charge, led by the Murat of
the American army. Panic and con-
fusion ensue, during which an IN
looked-for and overwhelming horde
of savage braves assault the doomed
battalion in both flank and rear.
Desperate onsi&ughts, repulses, and
single combats follow, until. amid
the roar and smoke of guns, the fall
of men and horses, the thunder of
hOofs. and all the horrid clamor of
revenge and defiance. Custer and his
few surviving comrades are finally
surrounded on an emiuerce and cut
off to the last man. The victorious
savages disappear, and Buffalo Bill,
guiding re-enforcements. appears
upon the scene OF massacre, alas, too
late to he of service. This closes an
object lesson in heroic border history
such as only Col. Cody could present.

NOVELTIES.

The month Of May, ever ''besutiful" 10
song and story. Is one OF misery In most
households. Amid the tolls and trials OF
the Sc mi-snnusl cleaning. eyes are blind
20 the loveliness Of It's verdure and
bloom. Invention does its best TO smell
crate the miseries Of the dreaded ordeal,
snd with signal success. As Illustration,
the many brushes OF the present, emil
pently useful and time saving for the
purposes intended.
The corner-brush is whisk, shaped
gradually across the bottom until II
forms long, sharp point on one side.
With this every particle OF dust can be
removed from the room and stair cor.
ners.
The extension handled wall brush IL n
valuable house cleaning convenience. IL
enables the cleaner TO reach the highest
ceiling without the aid OF step-lsdder,
thus saving the fatigue and risk OF
mounting IL.
The very latest novelty Ia brushes Ia
the revolving brush for removing dust
from carved furniture. Its action Is au-
tomstic-once fixed In Its place, by ro-
ts,ing its handle, the work Is speedily
accomplished.
In packing away winter gowns, wraps,
heavy curtains, etc, they must be thor
oughly brushed to protect them from
moths. For this purpose Ia the passe-
menterie brush. Unlike other clothes
brushes, the brisfles are so delicate that
they remove from besd-trimming. silk
embroidery. beaded lace, etc, the dust
Without fraying or injuring the fabric.
For the ruffies of silk gowns, curtain
fringes and velvet trimmings, this new
brush Is invaluable.
A fringe brush for brushing the fringes
Of table cloths, napkins, and art linens
OF all sorts, Ia with moderately stiff
bristles, not TO break the fine threads Of
the raveled linen.
A beautiful new presentation is the
; o'clock tea brush. Ii Ia designed for
brushing TIE crumbs from polished
tables, its bristles firm, but with the
smooth softness of silk. The handle Is
exceedingly ornamental, with end ring,
through which ribbon may be run to
hang il by when not In use.
A decided novelty In another line Ia
the new trunk for the convenience OF
persons occupying small rooms. Its
popularity IL a removable tray, which,
when placed on the closed cover OF the
trunk, IL hinged so that 1t opens out
