Press shortly before the firing COM
menced: General Shafter sent me
word last night that the batteries at
the south end Of the harbor had fired
on his troops. l am almost certain that
General Shafter is mistaken, as al our
information shows that no guns bear
shoreward. However, l thought ii best
to lombard again to-day 1t will be
useful, and may have n moral effect
that will assist the army"
Soon SiIenced the Spanish Guns.
With the flagship New York leading
the eastern end Of the crescent of ships,
the fleet steamed inshOre 1900 yards
from MORO castle, until in a position
to enfilade both the eastern batteries.
At 5:45 the firing commenced. The sea
was smooth and a light breeze was
blowing For the first ten minutes the
craftsmanship Of the American gun
ners was splendid. one Of the eastern
batteries was SO badly punished that
not a shot was fired from it during the
engagement. a few shells from the
western batteries dropped around the
ships, but hit nothing. The terrific
fusillade OF heavy shells from all the
battleshps of the United States navy
silenced the fire from the sh.re in short
order.
One shot DismoUnts e Gan.
one particularly food sh7t from the
flagship New York sent a gun on one OF
the eastern batteries flying high into
the air, and enormous red clouds of
earth and debris rose all around Moro.
At $50 the firing had become slower
and more deliberate. The Indiana, ore
gon and Massachusetts were signaled
10 go right in front of the harbor to
shell the Punta Gorda batteries inside
on the eastern arm. They steamed TO
within 1000 yards of the shore. The
Oregon took shot at MORO castle. and
down came the Spanish flag. At sight
OF this splendid piece Of craftsmanship
the crews Of the different ships cheered
enthusiastically for several minutes.
Made No Attempt at Reply.
The three batt,eships then kept up an
incessant fire on the Punta Gorda bat
teries, doing great havoc to the forti-
fications and works in course of con-
struction. Not a shot came from the
enemy. The other ships contented
themselves by taking occasional shots
at MORO castle. It's ancient battle
ments were knocked to pieces, and great
holes loomed up in its parapets. At
1925 Admiral Sampson hoisted the sig
nal cease firing" but il was half an
hour before the Oregon had fired her
last shot AS the ships returned to
their blockading stations two futile
shots were fired at them from five-inch
rapid-flre guns on one Of the western
batteries.

DYING BY SCORES.
Horrible Tale Brought by a
Red Cross Nurse From
Manila.

Honolulu, Dec. 8, via San Francisco,
Dec. 1.-THE United States transport
Scandal has arrived here from Manila,
which place she left Nov. 10. She brings
a number of officers, ninety-One dis
charged and furlOughed men and two
Red Cross nurses. She brings the larg-
est mail that ever left Manila, 213 sacks
for San Francisco and one for Honolulu
The vessel will resume her voyage on
or about the 10th instant. Miss Schaefer,
a Red Cross nurse, who went from
Honolulu to Manila, arriving Sept. 26,
returned here. She makes startling
charges as to the way United States
soldiers are taken care of in Manila
Miss Schaefer made the following state
ment for publication:
Scores of the soldier boys are dying
in the hospitals at Manila, just for
want of proper nOuriShment. They say
the government allows so cents day
for each patient You can save dozens
of lives on cents a day.
''Oh, the utter woe of the hospitals,
the helplessness of them! Men as
bright and noble as God ever made,
given up to death, hoping for it, seeking
it, taking poison, doing anything that
Will end the dispair that comes upon
Seeing nothing before them but days
of pain and nights of wretchedness,
without proper food, alone, with no one
to give them sympathy or cheer, to
write to friends, to sOothe the aching
brOws or mOisten parched lips, if by
sheer endurance of nature or obstinacy
of vitality they do get better, there is
before them nothing but the still more
cherries period of convalescence with
the probability of relapse and the old
WEAKNESS of despair to be suffered
again
mo wonder there are six or seven
funerals a day. No wonder the dead
house is never empty.
And outside the hospital and even
IN it, such Indifference! Petty consider
alton of rank and position, sQuabbIes
about precedence, lack of consideration
IN prescribing and preparing food while
men are dying, not merely of heart
hunger, but for want of nOuriShmenf.
4 have gone through the wards day
after day and as I spoke to this one
and that, they poured out their woes,
men who do not wear their hearts in
their sleeve, cried for the pure agony
of their loneliness and despair MADE
poignant and vivid by their own telling
Of it.
4 got so just could not go through
the wards. What could I do? I saw
the need of care, of proper nourish-
ment, of the most ordinary hospital
treatment, and was utterly helpless to
do anything to adjust one cog in the
whose material was noble men, and
whose grit was death.
1 do not mean that all in the hos
p1$als are careless, or Indifferent. Many
are trying to do their best. There is
q lot of WOrthineSS and unseIfshness
among the attendants at the hospitals
but there is so much inexperience, so
many clogs to those who would do
much. To think of an attendant going
through ward with a pail of beef
broth, ladling it out to the fifty or
sixty patients indiscriminately by the
cupful! In the whole pail there was
not enough nourishment for one, even
Rf it were made of the best material.

THE MAN ON THE ROOF

The story told by Mrs. Mary Burnett
as a witness for the defense in the Col
Inns case will, according to County At
tOrney Jetmore, be proven absolutely
groundless when the time for rebuttal
testimony arrives.
Detective Dell Harbaugh spent yes
terday afternoon in Scranton. When he
returned last night it is said he brought
back with him information which will
break down the entire testimony of
Mrs. Burnett.
On the witness stand Mrs. Burnett
testified that she arrived in Topeka
from Scranton on the morning of the
Collins murder on the Santa Fe train
which reaches here at five minutes past
4 O'Clock. Part of the information Sc
cured by Detective Harbaugh is to the
effect that no one but the Santa Fe
agent at Scranton boarded that train
at that station and that the engineer
did not come to a full stop but simply
reduced speed so that the agent could
climb aboard
If Mrs. Burnett did not reach Topeka
until the arrival of the second train, a
few minutes before 5 o'clock she could
not have been walking along Sixth
street at the time she testified to.
The prosecution also claims to be able
to prove that Ella Buchanan, the girl
who attempted to corroborate Mrs Bur
nett's testimony. was in the employ Of
a family named Barry on May u, and
was in the Barry home at the time OF
the murder.

MORE POLITICS

Kansas City, Dec. 14.-Speechmakin
consumed the morning session of the
third day of the annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor. The
delegates were in their seats early and
listened with a great degree of interest
to the talks by William ThOrne and
William Inslip, the delegates from the
British labor congress, and to re-
Spouse thereto by President Samuel
Gompers. Mr.. ThOrne spoke with en-
thusiasm of the conditions across the
water offering some suggestions for
the betterment of his fellow Americans.
The particular burden of Mr.. ThOrne'S
talk was that Americas organized labor
should strive constantly for better or
ganization and to WELD an ever-grow-
ing power in politics. In England, said
he, one great element of organized
labor's power was the fact that political
positions were held by so great a per-
centage of UniOnistS.
Delegate Inskip urged not only
stronger organization, but stronger
friendship between American and
British unionists. What was needed, he
said was not only a federation of
trades organizations, but a federation
with our English-speaking cousins. The
sentiment was heartily cheered and Mr..
Inskip went on to express his belief in
the principle of arbitra ton of all diff
culties and enumerated instances of the
settlement of British strikes by arbitra-
ton, which had been alone possible,
from the fact that arbitration in Eng
land was constructed on so thorough
basis.
President Gompers said in the course
of his remarks, that there was some
times a misrepresentation as to the con-
ditions of the workers of our country.
A greater percentage of mechanical
labor, outside the agricultural element,
he said, were organized in America than
on any part of the globe. Small con-
ventions were not necessarily an indi-
cation of lack of strength. While he
declared that unionists were active in
~ nTinRinlRS politics.
citing the fact that seventeen union men
were members of the Colorado state
legislature, Mr.. Gompers nevertheless
urged increased activity along this line.

WORK FOR A PARDON
To Secure the Release of A. G..
Stacey From Prison.

A G. Stacey was taken to the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth this morn
ing by Deputy United States Marshal
Stacey told his attorneys that it was
useless to try to secure the. 5000 bond
required by Judge Riner while an appeal
now is a pardon from the president.
1t is probable that petition will be
started by some of his friends and circu-
lated over the state for signatures. This
will be then sent to one of the Kansas
sena tors or congressman for presentation
to the president. 1t is believed that
no dnr can he secured in this WaY.
