tected by the terrific return fire of the
warships, work was continued and the
cable cut.
The Spaniards had by this time suf-
fered severe loss. Their shots from
the lighthouse struckSthe warships sew
eral times. and. although they did not
do much damage. the fire aroused the
determination Of the American officers
to exterminate the fort. Thereafter.
for the moment. the fire Of the war
ships was concentrated upon the light
house. and the improvised fort was
blown to pieces. AS there were great
numbers of Spaniards in and behind
the fort at the time there is no doubt
that many Of them were killed. The
Marblehead and the Nashville used
their heaviest guns, as well as their
small rapid-fire guns. and hundreds OF
shots were thrown into the Spanish
troops. a.- g..
The Marblehead was struck scores Of
times by bullets from machine guns
and the Nashville suffered to about the
same extent. The Window also had
many marks of the fray. Her shell
blowing up the lighthouse and scatter
ing the Spaniards in all directions end
ed the battle.
The cable which was cut at Cienfue-
gos extended from that city to Santiago
de Cuba. 1t does not sever cable COM
munication with Cuba, as there is an
other line in operation between Sem
tiago de Cuba and Kingston. Jamaica.
The severed cable is owned by the Gu
ba Submarine company. The one op-
Grating to Kingston is owned by the
West India Panama company. The lat
ter is the only line not in control Of
tho United States government. The
cable from Havana to Key West is
controlled by United States officials. 1t
was a shot from the four-inch gun Of
the Window which knocked over the
lighthouse. In command of that gun
division was Lieutenant Crisp. and
Cooper was the gunner who fired the
shot. The Spanish loss is estimated at
400.
The lighthouse was demolished, the
arsenal destroyed and the batteries on
shore silenced. The town was set on
fire by shells from the American fleet.

MUST HAVE ROOM
Project of E. o. Hail &
Son for a New Block.
Cramped in Floor Space Now-On
Leased Land-Three-S Story Plans.
The Waverley Block.

For week or more it has been men,
toned on the street and in business
and building circles that E. o. Hall &
Son, Ltd, had decided to erect on their
King massive four-story block to be
occupied entirely by the firm.
Mr. w w. Hall, the manager of the
hardware store, said in an interview
that he was 10th to speak of the mat
ter, but did not care to have misappre-
hension become fixed. The fact is that
the old established business has for
several years, by the increase of trade
felt itself very much cramped for space
Additional warehouse has been secured,
but there is still manifest lack of floor
for the retail hardware and bicycle
business. The land occupied by the pre-
sent two-story structure is held under
leases from the Bishop and Austin es-
tates, which leases have goodly num-
Der of years yet to run. Negotiations
concerning these leases are now pend
ing. If the outcome of the proposals
made is satisfactory to E. o. Hall &
Son, Ltd, there will be a building
movement up to the times. So much
ground is controlled or will be owned
or held under extended lease, that a
four-story building will not be requir-
ed. The new home of the old firm will
be three stories. This height of build
ing is perhaps better adapted to the
hardware trade than taller structure
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Hall
is careful to state that at this time it is
only under consideration, but follows
up this statement with the declaration
that they must have more store room
soon. This is apparent to any patron
of the house. Plans for a model three
story building for the site are being
made now by Ripley & Dickey and will
in due time be submitted to Mr.. Hall.
All of the ground is to be covered by
the building, no space to be left for
yard. Mr.. Hall is entirely satisfied
with the location. He says King street
lis the main artery of the Island and
that Fort street will hold it's own for
many years to come.
The hands )me, imposing and expen-
sive Waiver .ey Block, that fine nativ7
stone building at Bethel and Hotel
with wide frontage on each street, may
grow. A proposition was made some
time ago to add two stories to the
| - FOL nf
The two additional stories were or are
to be used as lodging house and Eu-
ropean plan hotel. The gentlemen who
have made the overtures to Mr.. Mulch
owner of the building, are men Of large
means, one an old resident and the 9TH
er a new local capitalist.
