By their verdict rendered last FRI
day the jury in the United States
Court at Baltimore decided that Will
lam R. Percy, who was drowned IN the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal on May
26, 1897, did not commit suicide. The
verdict was for $26,l25 against the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association, OF
Philadelphia, being the full amount OF
a policy for $4,000 on Mr.. Percy's
life, with interest. Payment Of the
policy was resisted by the association
on the ground mainly that Mr.. Percy
committed suicide. The jury agreed
upon their verdict in about ten min
utes. Besides the contested policy,
Mr.. Percy had $4,000 insurance on
his life, all of which was paid by the
companies without suit. Mr.. Percy,
who lived at Frostburg, Md, was a
leading land owner and capitalist Of
Allegany county. He was riding
horseback, when he was thrown into
the canal His widow and David p.
Miller, executors of his estate, brought
the suit.

over him, and never lowered his col

THE customs receipts under the
Dingley high tariff law the past year
were about twenty-six and a-half mil
lions less than the previous year under
the Wilson law.
Two things are to be noted
First, the Dingley bill was not so
much of a revenue-producing measure
as it was a scheme to give undue pro-
lection ofmanufacturers. In many cases
its schedules were so high that impor-
tation was entirely prevented. Rev.
enues were decreased, consequently,
while at the same time the manufac-
lures were enabled to squeeze the con-
sumner as they pleased.
Secondly, as sure as fate this ad-
ministration would have been obliged
to issue bonds as the Cleveland adj
ministration did, had not the war with
Spain been encouraged and thereby an
opportunity afforded for the enormous
output of bonds and the leVying of a
burdensome tax.
Enthusiasm over battles won should
not blind the people to political tricks.

NO HARM DONE,
 SAYS MADRID
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADRID, June 17.-Advices received here from Havana from official sources characterize the fighting at Guanta- namo Bay as mere skirmishing," with the met result that the Americans they landed" Continuing, the Havana dispatch says:
 They have suffered greatly, both from the fusillade and the heat. The Spaniards are in possession of several wells, none of which has been in- jured. The stories that the fortifca- t1ons at Caimanera and Morro have been damaged are false"
 The following official note has been issued here: The charges of Spanish cruelty to the wounded and mutilation of the dead are false. These accusa- tionS have caused the liveliest indigna- tion among all classes in Spain. espe- cially among the troops, who are in- dignant at the calumnies. The Spanish army IS conducting itself in this war with the nobility it has always shown, as proved by the evidence of the Amer 1can prisoners who were released, and its discipline is so strict that any mis- conduct would have been relentlessly punished"
 The following is a Spanish report of the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba:
 "On June Is, at 5 a. m., fire was opened on the coast batteries of San tiago de Cuba by four American battle ships, two ironclad cruisers and pro- tected cruiser, while one yacht opened fire opposite Aguadores beach. The cannonade was violent and fearful and lasted one hour and half. The Amer jeans fired over 1000 projectiles and temporarily disabled the Hontoria can non at La Socapa, covering them with earth. The parapet was destroyed by a shell. One cannon of Morro Castle was damaged by the American projec- tiles. All the damages were repaired to-day.
 "The Americans suffered severe dam age. Shells from the Spanish batteries were clearly seen to fall on the Ameri- can ships, which were approximately two miles off.
 "The Spanish losses at Morro were one artillery corporal killed and one second lieutenant, Juan Arbela; also eight soldiers and two sailors of the watch service wounded. At the Fl So- capa battery two artillery sailors were killed and Second Lieutenant Rikard Bruisquita of the navy and two soldiers wounded. The Spanish soldiers were unharmed.
 General Linares eulogizes the be- havior of the troops and captain Gen eral Blanco will reward several officers and soldiers wounded to-day and in the engagement of June 6. He will also recommend for special reward Colonel Ordonez of the artillery"
 The Governor of oantiago de Cuba has sent cable dispatch to the Gov ernment, describing the bombardment of yesterday, in which he said:
 'The Americans fired 1000 shots. Sev- eral Spanish shells hit the enemy's yes sells. Our losses are three killed and twenty-one wounded, including two officers. The Spanish squadron was not Jo,
