RUSSIA has tried experiments with
aluminium shoes for cavalry horses.
A few horses in the Finland dragons
were shod with one aluminium shoe
and three iron shoes each, the former
being on the fore foot in some cases
and on the hind foot in others. The
experiment lasted six weeks and
showed that the aluminium shoes last
ed longer and preserved the foot bet
ter than the iron ones.

Accordingly the boy was secured an

Washington, June 8.-Shortly after
seven o'clock Tuesday evening ;nforma-
tion confirmatory of the dispatches con-
cerning the bolnbardment of the forti-
foations of Santiago reached the navy
department. 1t came in the form of a
cablegram from Admiral Sampson
which was made public in the following
bulletin:
'Secretary Of the Navy: Bombarded
forts at Santiago, 7:30 to 10 a. M, to-day,
June 6. Silenced works quickly without In
jury Of any kind. though within 1000 yards.
(Signed) "SAMPSON.'
Shortly after nine the firing ceased,
the warships turning in order to per-
NIT the use of the port batteries. The
firing then became long reverberat-
ing crash of thunder and the shells
raked the Spanish batteries with ter
rible effect. Fire broke out in Catalina
fort and silenced the Spanish guns. The
firing of the fleet continued until ten
o'clock, when the Spanish were ceased
entirely, and Admiral Sampson hoisted
the cease firing" signal.
No Damage to Americans.
Generally the fire of the fleet was very
destructive. Many of the earthworks
were knocked to pieces and the Estrella
and Catalina Notifications were so dam
aged that it is questionable whether
they will ever be able to renew any ef-
fective work during the war. After the
feet retired the Spaniards returned to
the fleet. but no one was injured. One
large shell fell close to the collier JUS
tin. Throughout the entire engage
ment no American ship was hit and no
American was injured. If the Spaniards
stuck to their guns, and all evidence is
to the contrary, their loss must have
been heavy.
Spanish Losses at Santiago.
Cape Haytien, June S.-The latest re-
ports from Santiago summarizes Span
ish losses as follows:
Cruiser Reina Mercedes dismantled.
Estrella and Cavo batteries and Cata-
lima fort destroyed.
Moro Castle partly demolished.

Cervera's Official Report.
Madrid, June 8.-The following off,
cial dispatch has been received from Ad-
miral Cervera: Six American vessels
have bombarded the Notifications at
Santiago and along the adjacent coast.
Six were killed and II were wounded on
board the Reina Mercedes; three officers
were killed and an officer and II men
were wounded among the troops. The
Americans fired 1900 shells of different
caliber. The damage inflicted upon the
batteries of La Socapa and MORO castle
was unimportant. The barracks at
MORO castle suffered damage. The en-
emy had noticeable losses.

only will he open on Monday night. the

To Judge from the reports in San Fran

London, April 9.-The controversy
between Clement Scott, the dramatic

part of the world, arising from Scott
reflections upon the virtue of ac-
tresses, in an interview in December

apology upon the part Of Scott last
Thursday.
