SILENCED MORO.
Scout st. Louis and the Wampatuck
Engage Forts of Saptiago.

Scout st. Louis and the Wampatuck
Engage Forts of SautiaSo.
The Santiago bombardment which oc-
Cured Wednesday, May Is, is explained
as follows: The st. Louis, acting under
orders, proceeded to cut the cable at
Santiago and Guantanamo. The San
tiago engagement was lively. The Wam-
patuck accompanied the st. Louis and
the cable was picked up within range OF
the Spanish guns on Moro, which opened
fire, followed by two sand batteries and
one mortar battery The men coolly ham
died the cable on the forecastle of the st.
Louis during the entire engagement. Ihe
st. Louis replied with her total armament
Of four 6-pounders and with the Wampa-
tuck's ono 3-poundcr finally silenced all
but two or three guns. Neither American
boat was damaged seriously. The st.
Louis topmast backstay was shot away
and the Wampatuck's pilot house was
slightly splintered. One man on the st.
Louis had a finger broken by the lying
fragments Of shell while handling the
cable. When work on the cable had been
properly finished the boats proceeded
twenty miles eastward to Guantanamo,
where the cable was again picked up and
cut. The batteries there opened fire, but
being small and poorly handled, were IN
effective. Two well placed shots from the
st. Louis secured comparative quiet and
the cutting of the cable was then peace
fully finished The officers and men were

CARDENAS ALMOST WRECKED.
Town Suffered Severely in Recent
American Attack.

Town Suffered Severely in Recent
American Attack.
Ernest Castro, Cuban refugee, who
was in Cardenas on the day that the
Winslow was injured in trying to capture
Il Spanish gunboat, arrived in Key West,
having been picked up off Cardenas. 1t
will be remembered that the motive for
the attack was desire to capture three
little gunboats which had been trying for
several days to lure the American ships
into the mined channels of Cardenas har-
hor. The fire that riddled the Winslow
did not come from a masked battery, as
was supposed, but from a gunboat. Ac-
cording to Castro the other two gunboats
were on the other side of the point, with
their guns trained through the trees,
which concealed them from the sight OF
the approaching Americans. These two
boats, he says, were destroyed by the
Wilmingt0ns fire. Most of their crews
were killed or wounded. Castro says that
tht: ..ort Of Cardcnas along the water is
aIr-:,zs totally wrecked. All the wharves
n7r Iyurned, and the Spanish casino, q
large building used as the headquarters
of the infantry, was also destroyed. The
troops and citizens all fled from town.
Thirteen soldiers were killed by one shell
as they fled along the street. The sup
position was that the Americans were at
tempting a landing, and after the ships
ceased firing the soldiers returned to
stand them off

A special dispatch from Manila says
that the German consul there tried to
land provisions from German ship, but
that Admiral Dewey refused to permit it.
The consul then declared, according to the
dispatch, that he would force the landing
under the protection Of two German cruis-
ers but Admiral Dewey threa tened to fire
upon the cruisers, and the attempt to land
the supplies was abandoned. Another dis
patch asserts that Admiral Montejo, COM
mander Of the Spanish squadron Destroy

THE SAGEBRUSH.

When . Colorado morning the purple mists
 unfold And a phantom mirage picture is on mountain
 wall enscrolled, Then the air from distant foothills is like odor
 of new wine, And the breath from scrubby sagebrush is
 more fragrant than the pine. The eastern birding hies him to 8 forest deep
 and wide. On Q tree tops highest branches he wooes his
 feathered bride. But the western songster warbles of "the land
 that is mine ain'' From . clump of pale green sagebrush on the
 gently billowed plain. The gsunt and long cared rabbits their longest
 gallops gauge To rest at home securely in their hutches
 heath the sage, And the coyote calls together all his gray and
 willy train, Swift shadows in the shadow of the sasebrush
 on the plain. Its brave and woody armor the winters frost
 dehes, And 1t clothes the lonely sand world with a
 bonny sweet surprise. Summer smiles upon its prowess, guarding
 fields of golden grain. It is forest, grass and hedgerow to the wild
 and sandy plain. Mary Amelia Roberts in Overland Monthly.

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia D. Pinkham's

 Doctors could donothing for me, and they could not cure me at the hospital. I will tell you about it:
 "I had been in my usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period came on, I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but 1t did me no good. He said the How must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of my trouble.
 "Upon examination, he found there was & 6broid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time . lady called on me, and recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 1; said she owed her life to it. I said would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found every thing all right. The tunor had passed away, and that dull ache was gone. "
 1t can be truthfully stated that such 6 result can be accomplished by no other remedy upon the market, and forcib1y proves the peculiar virtue of the Vegetable Compound

SQRp.

The first distinct mention of soap now extant is by Pliny, who speaks of it as an invention of the Gauls, but be that as it may the use of soap for wash ing purposes is of great antiquity. In the ruins of Pompeii 8 complete soap manufactory was found, and the uten- sils and some soap were in 8 tolerable state of preservation. The Gallic soap of IS centuries ago was prepared from fat and wood ashes, particularly the ashes from beech wood, which wood was very common in France as we'll as in England. Soap is spoken of by writers in the second century, but the Sara cens were the first people to bring it into general use as an external cleansing medium. The use of soap is thus de- scribed: "When examined chemically. the skin is found to be composed of a substance analogous to dried white of egg-in a word, albumen. Now, albu- men is soluble in the alkalies, and when soap is used for washing the skin oily fluid with which the skin is natu rally bedewed, removes it in the form of an emulsion, and with it 8 portion of the dirt. Another portion of the al kali softens and dissolves the superfioia stratum of the skin, and when this i rubbed of the rest of the dirt disap pears. So that every washing of ths skin with soap removes the old face o' the skin and leaves 8 new one, anG were the process repeated to excess ths latter would become attenuated. ''- New York Ledger.
