ors and twenty mine marines on board of her

A semi-official note was published here to-

American fleet on Monday last. The note
says:
1.-The American navy under Admiral Samp-
son has fiercely attacked Santiago de Cuba
and bloody encounter ensued. The Amer
leans made three attacks on the Spanish
marine and land batteries which replied. AS
a consequence the Americans were repulsed
with heavy losses, estimated at 1,500 men.
The American projectiles, however, sank the
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
Dispatches received here from Havana
from Spanish sources, say: 1.-THE Ameri-
cans were again repulsed at the last bonn
bardmert at Santiago de Cuba. Continuing,
these reports assert that the damage done
to the batteries and town is 'unimportant
or is already repaired" adding: 1.-THE Span
ish guns did not cease to fire an instant
during the fight and all the batteries are in
condition to reply to the enemys fire. Dur
ing the second attack Colonel Ordonez was
on board the Rejna Mercedes and personally
assisted in working her guns. Everyone re-
CARDS Colonel Ordonez and General Linerez
as the heroes of the day."
According to official Spanish dispatches
received here the exact loss of the Spaniards
at Santiago de Cuba on Monday is as fol-
lows: Land forces. one soldier killed and
five officers wounded including Colonel Or
donez, slightly wounded. Sea forces, the
second officer in command of the Reina Mer-
cedes, five sailors and twenty-nine marines
killed and an officer and eleven sailors
wounded. The official dispatches also say
that many of the wounded, including Colonel
Ordonez, are able to attend to their duties.

A BRADSTREET REPORTER
Got Into Trouble and Then Got Out
 Again With No Harm Done.

Perhaps your company would be in- terested in knowing something of my experience with coffee drinking. For a long time there was no pleasure in my breakfast, for immediately after eating it I was in pain, suffering from indi- gestion and generally became so sick to my stomach that I was compelled to throw part of the breakfast up.
 I did not know what the cause of the trouble was until ore of my friends who had been affected in the same way told me that he had got entirely over his difficulty by quitting the use of coffee, and using in it's place the Postum Food Coffee, from which he obtained remark able results. l made the change with out any trouble, for the Postum was (after one or two failures, and we found out how to boil it properly) better than the coffee I had been ac- customed to.
 In about three weeks I was so we'll that I found I could drink regular coffee without having the old trouble, but I could not get back to like berry coffee again, the Postum tastes so much better to me, and the fact that I kept getting stronger and sturdier in every way convinces me that I am living more natural life.
 find it is best to boil Pqstum stead ily and not let it boil too hard so as to boil over, but it should be allowed to continue boiling a long time or it does not taste right When it is allowed full ength of time for boiling, it is cer- tainly delicious. I enclose a list of ten names of friends who have all been cured of their indigestion by leaving off coffee and using Postum.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Mrs. John q. Mollister.

In the death of Mrs. John C. Hollis ter on Saturday last, devoted woman of very noble character and of very great usefulness has entered into rest. Mrs. Hollister was born in New Ha ven, the daughter of Charles x. snip man, and was married in 1850. For nearly half century she has been a deeply interested and faithful member of St. Paurs church. In the Sunday school and in the charitable work of that church she gave up her time and strength in the most unselfish way. Few persons have been quietly more help full to young people needing friendly guidance. or to the poor. She made her own the sorrows of a great number of persons in trouble and she carried light and comfort into many homes. She had thought for those who are In the hard places in life. A great com pany, made better by her gracious words and kindly acts will bless her memory. In the many years of broken health before her death, her life was blessing, even as in the days of her strength. She ceased not to think of others and to do them good while she lived. A life rich in grace and in good works quietly performed, has come to an end here. The life which seemed bounded by the home and the church has been a far-reaching blessing in the community.
 Beautiful reference to her death was made by Dr. Lines before the Sunday school of St. PauTs church yesterday, the deceased having been so long and intimately associated with the religious and benevolent work of St. Paul'S church, as also her husband, who has been for so long period the beloved superintendent of St. PauPs Sunday school.
 The funeral services will take place at the church this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
