forth from the crew Of the Suwanee.
A few minutes later the Suwaree
fired again, and huge clouds of debris
rose from the base of the flagstaff It
was impossible to tell what had been
the effect of the shot. Then 1t was seen
that the shell had only added to the
ruin Of the fort. The Flagstaff seemed
to have a charmed existence, and the
Suwanee had only one chance left. 1t
seemed hardly possible for her to
achieve her object with the big gun,
such distance and such a tiny target.
There was breathless silence among
the crews. They crowded on the ships
deck, and all eyes were on that bat
tered rag, bending low. and the earth
from the toy wall which had been the
grand old castle. But it was only
bending, not yet down.
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty
and Lieutenant Blue took their time.
Then the Suwanee changed her position
slightly. Then puff Of smoke shot out
from her side, and up went spouting
cloud of debris from the parapet, and
down fell the banner of Spain.
Such yelling from the flagship will
probably never be heard again. There
was more excitement than there was

General Duffield. commanding the

New York and the Suwanee advanced

The Suwanee. with three successive
shots, knocked the Spanish flag off the
fort. wrecked one corner of the struc-

The Cubans and the Thirty-th

MeDUFFIE DEFEATS MICHAEL
All Records From One to Fifteen
Miles, Inclusive, Broken.

BOSTON, @July 2. - All worlds rec
ords from one to fifteen miles, inclusive
took sudden drop at Charles River
Park this afternoon, when Eddie Nc
Duffie of Boston defeated Jimmy
Michael. the tiny cyclist, who has long
held the title Of champion of the world.
1t is possible that the race might
have had different ending but for an
accident which befell Michael early in
the race, while in the lead. His handle
bars became loose, and he was forced
TO leave the track for another machine,
which proved to be in little better con-
dition than the first McDuffie had
gained a full lap during the transfer,
and as Michael could do nothing with
his new machine he left the track,
coming on again after the machine had
been repaired, but not in any sense a
competitor He rode in all six and two
thirds miles.
McDuffie continued to reel off the
miles during this time, cutting record
after record, until, at the end OF the
fifteenth mile and the race, he was
20 3-5 seconds better than the worlds
record, held by himself.
The men took their~positions, and at
the word were off like a flash. Michael

well started. The pace was terrific, and

former worlds record made by Eikes
IN his race with Martin one week ago.
The two miles were ridden in 3:24 ID,
81 gain of 3-5 on the previous two
mile record.
Michael had added two more records
his credit, when his machine went
own, and he was out of the race.
McDuffie here took the lead, and the
killing pace did not abate. He con-
tinually urged his pacemakers on, ana
every mile clipped a second or two from
the previous record. The bell announced
6he last mile of the race, and his pace
makers exerted themselves to the ut
most as they sprang into the stretch on
the last lap. McDufRe pulled out for

other force went around the beach out
of sight of the Spanish forts. Six small
shells were thrown over the heads of
the men too close for comfort and the
troops were sent to cover under the en-
bankment in the railroad cut. There
they are awaiting orders The sharp
shooters are popping away from the
hillside and occasionally the report of
a ships gun is heard.
Captain Fred Alger, son of the Sec
rotary of War, who is an aide to Gen
eral Shafter, is with the regiment.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the en-
CINE was forced to return for water.
On the first trip half the command was
brought back, and the train returned
for the others. It develops that this
attack was merely a diversion in favor
Of General Lawton's movement around
the right flank. 1t is impossible to
take Aguadores, as the river is un-
fordable and the Spaniards have blown
up the far end of the railroad bridge.
Only Companies B, d and H took part
in the action, owing to the limited space
where the men could be deployed
The killed thus far were all the vic
Tins of the first shells fired by the
Sraniards, who had the line of range
Of the railroad, though the firing was
high. The men had just thrown off
their packs when shell from a three
inch gun exploded in the ranks of Com
pany L.
The killed were: John Franklin of
Diamondale, Mich: Seabright.
Wounded: Frank Lawson of Lawson,
Mich, arm fractured; d. A. Stark, Ann
Arbor, Mich, right arm fractured; Cliff
ford H. Curtis of Land Lake.
All the killed and wounded were
members of Company l., which was
made up of sons of veterans
AS the train left a second shell ex-
ploded on the track wounding a num-
Der of others.

Trespassers in Yosemite Park.

FRESNO, July 2.-Twenty-five dep
uty United States Marshals have gone
to Yosemite Park to eject trespassinS
sheep and cattle men. The park is
overrun with herds, and the sheep have
eaten up practically everything green.
In many places the roads have been
completely obliterated. The sheep
men give out that they will not leave
the park without fight. ! The herders
are ignorant Portuguese and French
men, and serious trouble may result,
for, owing to the dry season, there is
practically no place for them to drive
their f1ocks.

HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION.
The Senate May Vote on It During
the Present Week.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-There is a
prevailing opinion in the Senate that
vote will be reached on the Hawaiian
annexation resolution some time during
the coming week.
The opponents Of the resolution say
that a vote is impossible next week,
and say that at the inside limit the de-
bate will run a week from next
Wednesday.
The contest seems to have settled to
this situation: If the friends of an
nexation are able to maintain a quorum
until the end of the week, it is prob
able that the opponents will consider
further opposition of a filibustering ma
ture useless, and some arrangements
for a vote will be reached.
