structed by Colonel Ordonez, the fa.
nous artillery export, was blown to
dust, and Colonel Ordonez himself was
badly wounded by the flying splinters
and debris. Later in the day the Amer
ican ships moved closer toward the
mouth of the harbor, where the old
cruiser Relna Mercedes had been dis
cerned attempting to place explosives
about the hull of the Merrimac to blow
her to pieces and clear the channel A
l3-inch shell from the Oregon landed
squarely abaft her pilot house and tore
all her upner works to shreds. Her
"second commodore, five Of her sailors
and marine were killed. A second
lieutenant of the Reina Mercedes and l6
OF her seamen were very seriously
wounded.
A perfect shower of shot and she'll
fell upon and around the old cruiser
and she was so badly damaged that her
crew, by order of Admiral Cervera,
abandoned the ship for the shore for
safety.
About noon landing party of Ameri-
can marines near Daquira was attacked
by Spanish infantry and squad of
cavalry. The insurgents were posted
in the neighborhood and with the aid
OF the marines, successfully took up
position, holding it, and later making it
base from which they operated. The
Spanish force was defeated with heavy
loss and driven back toward Santiago
leaving their wounded behind them.
The Americans are now entrenched
near Daquira and are landing heavy
guns preparatory to moving them to.
wards Santiago and laying siege to the
city.
There is a panic at Santiago. The
residents, who can, are fleeing the
country, joining the insurgents or doing
anything to keep away from the GER
tain destruction that now awaits Ger
vera's fleet and the forces of Pando and
Linares.

Destruction of the Destroyer Terror
By the Battleship Oregon.
GOES DOWN WITH ALL HANDS
Spanish Torpedo Boat Sent to the Bottom
by Thirteen-1nch Shell-Some doubt
as to Whether 1t Is the Terror
OF the Furor.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 6.-News
has been received here today from Port
Antonio, confirming the report that the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
had been sunk by an American war
ship. 1t appears that the battleship
Oregon saw long craft sneaking close
to the shore and heading toward the
harbor. She signaled the craft to turt
and the signals We're improperly ar
swered, whereupon the Oregon opened
fire upon her. A 13-inch shell struck
the torpedo boat amidships, and she
sank with all hands. The vessel is sup
posed to have been the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror, trying to make
her way from Porto Rico into the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba, to join the
feet of Admiral Cervera with which
she arrived at Fort de France, island
of Martinique. The Terror was CON-
PEELED to remain at Fort de France
owing to her boilers being out of order.
On the other hand, it is believed the
torpedo boat sunk may have been the
Furor, of Admiral Cervera's fleet, as
the latest reports concerning the Terror
seem to show that her boilers were all
out of order.
The Spanish torpedo boat destroyors
Furor and Terror were built at Glas-
gov for Spain and completed the Off.
cial trials in November, 1896. They
are bigger than any of their type in the
British fleet. being 22O feet long and 90
feet wide. Her armament consists of
two ]4-pound rapid fire Maxim -Nord-
feldt, two 16-pounders, same caliber,
and two 37-automatic Maxims. There
are also two 14-inch, deck pivoted, tor
pedo tubes. The mean of runs on the
measured mile was one point over 2S
knots, which speed was also maintained
in two hours run in hard north.

Furor that vessel had full load. of 75
tons, on board, which is considerably
greater than the load carried by the de-
stroyers of the British and other gov

1t is no longer cunning. smart
and cute affair. It's admirers have

no one now to say that Colonel

until it was dear. For that is
what he did not do at any stage
of the game.
During the month CT May he
villainously succeeded through
his puI Ichases and those OF his
associates ia making the bread
of the people scarce, but after
the month Of May he could not
even do that, and his whole en-.

the last year with peculiar clear
ness.

nations upon the Empire of China,
from which the first sufferer, after
China herself, would have been
the United States, bad hardly be-
gun when, as surprising incident

ate Cuba, an American cannon
was fred on the Asiatic coast, and
the Stars and Stripes rose to float
over the Philippines, Fortune,
which during the last centuries has
been taking back from Spain her
earlier gifts, appears to have left
the Philippines for the express
purpose of providing US with a
foothold in Eastern waters, where
we can keep our vast interests
there against the rising threats to
extingu;sh them, and protect their
future growth.
At the same time the light from
Dewey's guns revealed the people
of this country, reared in the no
ton that they were to live forever
politically isolated, alive to the
splendid possibilities Of the situa-
ton and eager to extend their do
minion wherever the evolutions OF
the world make it their interests
so to do.
