Schley; and the cruiser began to go
around, the smoke coming from her fun
nels in huge volumes Quickly she turn
ed and quickly her big steel ram was
pointing at the first ship. The Infanta
Maria Teresa had to work in shore to
avoid being rammed. The shells Of the
Texas and Oregon, with the terrible storm
of shells from the Brooklyn, had done
their work and the smoke began to APP
pear pouring from her decks.
In the meantime the converted yacht
Gloucester could be seen, with the help
of the Iowa, destroying the two torpedo
boat destroyers that had followed the last
ship out. At 10 o'clock the entire Cape
Verde squadron was outside the barber
and going rapidly westward. The Iowa
and the Indiana could not keep Up the
pace; but the Oregon was coming across
to the assistance of the Brooklyn. which
at 1906 was engaging the first three
ships, the Infanta Maria Teresa, the Girls
tobal Colon and the Vizcaya. At 10:11
the Spanish ships had all concentrated
their shots on the Brooklyn and she was
in . perfect rain of shells, most of which
went over her.
Standing in this hail of shells, Commo-

The man took the observation. Twenty
two hundred yards, SIR he said, and
there was q whistle followed by splash
as his head was literally torn from his
shoulders by an eight-inch shell.
''Too bad said Commodore Schley as
the body fell at his feet, and then, with

The Maria Teresa was running her nose
on the beach and in IN instant was q mass
of flames. The Brooklyn was ordered to
concentrate her fire on the Almirante
Oquendo, and with the Oregon's assist
ance, in ten minutes more the Oquenlo
was sent ashore burning wreck, but
short distance from Santiago. The Iowa
in the meantime had sunk one torpedo
boat destroyer, and the other one had
been driven ashore by the Gloucesters

AT 1O:49 the Brooklyn turned her at

Colon having passed the latter and new
being IN the lead we'll up the coast. At
the time the only vessels in sight from the
Brooklyn were the Oregon, about a mile
and half astern. At 1854 the Vizcaya
was raked fore and aft clean along her
gun deck, by an eight-inch shell from the
Brooklyn Another Que, a minute after,
exploded in her superstructure with ter
rife force, killing eighty people. She was
afire and at 1856 she headed for the
beach at Asseradores, where she went
ashore. The Brooklyn did not stop, but

Harvesting Niagara.

The engineering works for connect
ing and distributing the energy of Mag
ara are partly finished on the American
side of the falls. One of the features is
the gigantic wheel pit, cut out of the
solid rock, for housing the 5,O00-horse
power turbines. The enormous dyna-
mos are marvels of construction. When
similar works are completed on the
Canadian side, it is anticipated that
350,O00-horse power will be available
for motive force, yet this is only about
one-twentieth of the energy latent in
the falls. Its distribution, however,
will have marked effect on
the industry Of the territory through
which it will spread.-1nverness Cou'

Married Couples Ages.

A statistician has published the re-
suits of his investigation of the rela-
tive ages of husbands and their wives
In the various capitals of Europe. He
discovered that marriages are more fire.
Quent where the husband is two OF
three years older than the wife. Wo-
men under twenty years of age, how
ever usually take unto themselves hus-
bands six or seven years older than
themselves. The cases in which the
man was year younger than the wo'
man were almost as numerous as those
in which he was six or seven years
older. The first condition was true OF
CT per cent. Of all married couples, and
the latter condition of GA per cent. The
cases where the husband was six OF
seven years younger than the wife We're
almost as numerous as those where he
was thirteen or fourteen years older
Only two cases were discovered where
the husband was thirty-fve years the
senior, one case where he was forty
six years older, and one case where he
was the older by forty-seven years
One case was discovered where the
wife was thirty-four years older than
the husband. Twelve and three
tenths per cent. of all men who marry
women under twenty years of age, &C
cording to the statistician, are between
twenty-six and twenty seven years old

Reported Smoke Moving.

On the bridge Navigator Hodgson of
the Brooklyn said sharply to the look
out: isn't that smoke movingT' and the
lookout, after minutes inspection with
the long glass, dropped it excitedly and
fairly yelled: There's big ship coming
out of the harbor, sir!' Hodgson, who
is particularly cool man. looked once
himself and then, grasping the mega
phone, shouted after bridge. there! Tell
the commodore the eneny's fleet is com
ing out!''
Commodore Schley was sitting under
the awning on the quarter deck. Going
to the bridge he said: RAISE the signal
to the feet" and turning to Capt. Cook,
who stood near, he said: Clear ship for
action" Then he went forward and took
his place on a little platform of wood run
ming on the outside of the coming tower,
which had been built for him. He was
dressed in blue trousers, black alpaca
Jacket and the regulation cap, without
the broad band of gold braid. The men
with yell went to their guns and the
rapid preliminary orders were given.
Schley, glasses in hand, watched the
first ship turn out, and saw her start for
the west Still he gave no signal to fire
or move. The Oregon opened with her
13-inch shells, and the Indiana and Texas
followed suit But the range was long
one. Still the Brooklyn waited. But
down below the coal was being forced into
the furnace, every boiler was being work
ed and every gun made ready to fire.
Schlcy wanted to know which way they
were all going, or whether they would
scatter. In the meantime the Oregon be-
gan to turn to the west and the Texas had
moved in closer and was damaging the
leading ship, the 1nfanta Maria Teresa.
Comrnodore's Order to Fire.
'.They are all coming west, SIR shout
ed Lieut.. Sears And just then the west

ahead. Open fire. shouted the commo-
dore Fire deliberately and don't waste
shot" he added; and the ofderiies car
ried the word to the turrets. In an in
slant the Brooklyn's eight and fveinch
| batteries on her port side opened, and the
cruiser headed for point in front of the
first escaping ship, firing at and receiving
the fire from two of them.
Then Commodore Schkey saw the frs

the evident intention Of ramming her. a

Is Health Worth Ten Cents?

Man suffers many mysterious ailments
from unknown causes, and nine-tenths of
them have their origin in the digestive
canal somewhere. 1t does any person
good to clean out this canal occasionally
in rational way, provided it is not done
in a violent manner. The proper cleans
ing and disinfecting preparation is Cas-,
carets Candy Cathartic, which are very,
gentle, but at the same time thoroughly
effective. A 1Oc box will purify the whole
system and in most cases remove the
cause of i'll health. When feeling bad"
take Cascarets. They will do you good,
and can do you no harm.

TELLS OF THE BATTLE
SANTIAGO NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
is WILDLY DESCRIBED.
Associated Press Correspondent Prob
ably the Only Non-Com ba tant Who
Witnessed the Fight from an Adj
vantageous Position.
How schley Smashed 'Em.

The following description of the battle
between the American and Spanish war
ships off Santiago was written by the
only non-comBataAt who witnessed the
entire fight. That non-combatant was
the correspondent of the Associated Press,
who saw the engagement from position
almost at the elbow of Commodore Schley
on the cruiser Brooklyn:
Daybreak of Sunday, July 3, the fifth
Sunday for the American squadrons be-
fore Santiago, brought no particularly diff
ferent situation from what had marked
the preceding Sundays. The monotony,
the lack of picturesqueness at daybreak,
the heat Of the tropical sun-all were
there.
Over the tops of the supposedly de-
stroyed earthworks appeared the muz-
zles of the same old guns, quite ready,
despite the Saturday bombardment, to
speak their piece If called upon. On the
slightly rolling sea the great gray battle
ships of the American fleet swung lazily
at a distance Of from four to five miles
from the harbor entrance. The line,
which at all times was supposed to be a
half-circle inclosing the harbor entrance
as central point, was more than ordi-
narily broken up this hot morning.
The big battleships had drifted to the
east considerably, and the Massachusetts,,
the New York, the New Orleans and the
Newark were not in sight. The New
York had taken Admiral Sampson down
to Altares,~ eight miles east from the
blockade, to make a visit to the camp of
the American army, while the other miss
ing vessels were at Guantanamo, forty
miles to the east
The vessels on the blockade were the
Iowa, Indiana and Oregon, battleships,
the flagship of Commodore Schley, the
Brooklyn, and the small yachts Glouces-
ter and Vixen. The Iowa swinging mile
further out than the rest of the squad
ron, trying to fix her forward 12-inch
turret, which was out of repair, while the
Indiana was doing the same thing to her
forward 13-inch turret- The absolutely
available entire ships in the squadron,
therefore, were only the Oregon, Texas
and Brooklyn, although later Capt. Evans
and Capt. Taylor fought their ships.
1t is custom on ships, regulated by the
rules, that there shall be general muster
at least once each three months and that
the articles Of war shall be read. First
call had been sounded at 9:15 Il. m. and
the men were assembling on the decks.
The lookout in the masthead of the Brook
lyn had some time before reported smoke
in the harbor; but as the same thing had
been noticed several times, no special at
tention was paid to it. The Brooklyn and
the Vixen We're the only ships to the west

staff. with picked escort entered the city,
and the red and yellow emblem of Span
ish authority was pulled down from the
staff on the house of the civil government
and in it's place the red, white and blue
emblem Of American authority was flung
to the breeze in the presence of a vast
concourse of people, with military honors,
salute fired, no doubt with will, by
Capt. Capron's battery, and to the strains
of the ''Star-Spangled Banner" by the
bands. The Presidents congratulatory
telegram was then read to the regiments,
who were witnesses Of the enthusiastic
scene from their positions around the city.
