NAVAL RESERVES CHEER.

The naval reserves on the Yankee
eheered vociferously every few minutes as
shots were seen to land. The officers on
deck were at this stage of the engagement
rugged out in their southwesters and oil
skins. The admiral went below, reap
peared in black oilskins and tramped the
forward bridge. Captain Chadwick was
outside the coming tower, just below the
admiral.
An incessant fire was kept up by the
easterly column, then using its starboard
batteries. The guns and buildings adjoin-
ing Moro carried awful punishment. The
Spanish flag flying on Moro Castle was
shot away, another was quickly hoisted.
At 9:45, when there was no further re-
sponse from the enemy, the New York
cease firing and steamed away.
The Yankee was allowed to still batter
away at the three guns to the eastward, all
that was left.
As the New York passed the New Or
leans, Captain Chadwick hailed her, on
the Admiral's order, and shouted to her
through the megaphone to join the Yankee
and dismount the three guns to the right
of Moro Castle. Captain Floger shouted
back: "Aye, aye, sir, we can do it,"
The New Orleans crew gave an enthu-
siastic yell as they heard Captain Folger's
reply and followed this up with three ring
ing cheers for the New York. The flag
ships crew gave it back with interest.
Then the Oregon, which was close by, fol-
lowed the New Orleans example and
cheered Justify. The New York's crew
did not seem to realize that the Oregon
mad cheered them and did not reply.
"Answer that cheer" shouted Captain

THE FIRING BEGINS.

At 7:45 the signal to commence firing
was hoisted and few seconds latter the
New York's big guns roared out. On her
starboard quarter the Yankee, with the
Naval Reserve crew, and the New Orleans,
followed suit. The firing Was rapid and
fairly good. Great dust clouds flew up on
the hillsides.
The Oregon and Iowa were still rather
far out, while the New York was close
in shore, firing at 1000 yard range. The
westerly column was almost out of sight
and apparently out of position, but it
wss firing rapidly at the western batteries.
Smoke began to hang over the shore and
several times the firing was ordered to atop
until the smoke cleared away. The men
waited for the shrek of the enemy's shells,
but they were seldom heard.
Out where the Iowa lay, rising jets ot
water occae ionally showed where the enc
my's aim was directed.

HAS SANTIAGO FALLEN?

Cape Haytien, June 11.-There is no di-
rect news from Cuba this morning, al
though the rumor is again current that
Santiago de Cuba has fallen.
12:45 p. m.--Information has been re-
ceived here by way of Port au Prince that
large force of Americans landed yester-
day on the shores of Guantanamo Bay,
near La Caimanera, and it is understood
the cable terminus at that point is in the
possession of the Americans and that ev-
cry effort will be made at once to reopen
communication with New York via Cape
Haytien.
A force of cable repairers may be sent
from Cape Haytien as soon as steamer
can be sent here to take them over.

MoRRo BADLY PEPPERED.

At o'clock rain commenced to fall. By
this time Moro hill, which is $50 feel
high, was being peppered badly from the
waters edge to where the lighthouse stands
ut the top. Great clouds of smoke and
dust rose continually, and when the shots
hit the rocks sparks flew back several hun
dred feet into the sea.
The rain came down heavily at tS:11, and
the smoke was SO thick that it was i'm
possible to tell the effect of the shells, and
a general signal to cease firing was hoisted.
BY this time the enemy vas almost 81
lenced. A few minutes later, with more
deliberation, the attack was recommended.
Commodore Schley's division at this
time, and until the end of the lombard
ment, could only be seen family. White
clouds rising on the western arm of the
harbor was the only sign that there was
another attacking force besides the east
erly column.
The New York steamed closer, until she
was 1000 yards east of the batteries and a
mile from the shore. In this position most
effective work was done, three guns on the
easterly battery being dismounted.

WAITED FOR THE OREGON,

No attempt was made to land until the
> Oregon steamed in early this morning.
Captain Clark Immediately sent forty ma
rines ashore and twenty from the Marble
head followed. They found evidence OF a
very hasty departure by the spaniards.
Watches, hammocks and ammunition
we're scattered about the earthworks and a
Spanish flag was found in one Of the rifle
pits. The little detachment of marines
held the place until the Panther arrived,
when they were recalled and the work OF
Decentralization began.
The first boat load had scarcely landed
when the village burst into flames. Com
pany B, under Lieutenant Hall, was the
first ashore, and without the loss of mo-
ment, the column started up the steep,
rocky hillside to the earthworks. For an
hour broad column of marines fled up
the narrow path, eventually taking up a
position at the top of the hill.

was a small railroad treste close to little
battery. A freight train was seen going in
the direction of Santiago de Cuba. When
it came to the eastern end of the trestle
it stopped, as if afraid to cross. Then,
with smoke pouring from the engine, it
flew across the trestle and was lost to sight
behind a cliff before a shot could reach it:

OLD GLORY FLOATS.

As soon as the American flag was flung
to the breeze on the flagstaff Of
the captured fort, the Oregon
steamed away to join the fleet at Santiago.
The marines will hold the position until
the arrival of expected troops, in the
meantime scouting in the vicinity with the
Marblehead, Vixen and Dolphin lying by
to protect them.
Rear-Admiral Sampson now has har'
Dor and base of supplies on the south side
of the island and troops can be landed at
will.
The troopship Panther reached the fleet
off Santiago early today. On her way oVel
the Yosemite fired dozen shells into tic
port of Daigarie (Balquiri) but received no
response.

Chadwick, and great yell went up from
the New York. The navy regulations for
bid cheering, butregulations did not count
for much when the enemy's guns are 81
fenced.
The New Orleans proceeded on her er
rand, joined the Yankee and Dolphin and
banged away merrily at the silent guns
The New York steamed across the mouth
of the harbor to the westerly column. One
mortar battery inside the harbor, which
had not been seen before, sent one or two
shells in the direction of the flagship, but
not dangerously close. The Brooklyn,
Texas, Massachusetts, Marblehead and
Vixen were still firing.
At 1921 a general signal to cease firing
was hoisted, the smoke cleared away from
the sides of the ships, and they resumed
their blockade stations. One of the Off
GERS of the flagship was heard to remark;
"There is nothing more to fire at just now.
We have silenced their fire efectually.
What destruction was done by our shells
it is impossible to tell. The defenses of
Santiago de Cuba cannot be compared to
those at San Juan de Porto Rico"
CONSIDERED TARGET PRACTICE.
The bombardment was little more than
target practice. The enemy apparently
deserted their guns soon after the firing
commenced, and had it not been for the
Merrimac heroes being thought to be in
Moro Castle, there would now be little
left of that picturesque pile.
The men behaved splendidly through
out. The bombardment of Santiago de
Cuba, although perhaps, more effective
than the bombardment of San Juan, can
not be compared with the cannonading of
the latter. The work done this morning
should make it easy for landing attack
by the troops.
AS at Matanzas and at San Juan, smoke
and the distance made itimpossible to tell
the exact damage done by the shells. The
firing at times was short and wild, due to
those causes.
At about noon, while the Dolphin was
lying close into a cove, few miles east of
Moro Castle, she commenced firing on the
shore, apparently at some troops. She
kept this up for an hour or more. The
other ships lay quietly in their usual posi-
tons, and there was nothing to indicate
that heavy bombardment had been in
progress few hours before. Later the
Dolphin signaled that she had disabled a
carload of soldiers and had knocked down
a blockhouse.

But That Will Be Easy When Time
Comes.
LIKE a SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.
The Spaniards Make Little Resistance
y and the Landing Effected.

Of Guantanamo, Cuba, Friday, June
lO.-(Via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Satur.
day, June III a. m. 1.-THE invesion of
Cuba by the American forces began today
Six hundred marines have pitched their
tents about the smoking ruins of the outer
forti6rations of Guantanamo, and the
Stars and Stripes, for the first time, floats
from Spanish flagstaff in Cuba
To Captain Clark and the battleship
Oregon belongs the honor Of accomplishing
the first successful landing of the war.
Forty marines from the battleship went
ashore this morning and occupied the left
entrance of the bay until the troopship
Panther arrived with six hundred marines.
These, under command of Lieutenant Col
onel r. w. Huntington, arrived at 3
O'Clock, and within half an honr they had
burned the buildings of the Spanish camp
and had set fire to the miserable little viii
lage, which croucted on the beach under
the hill top of Guantanamo.
WAS A PICNIC.
The whole operation of siiencing the
guns and landing the forces was as easy as
: planning Sunday school picnic. The
Marblehead, backed by the Vixen and
Dolphin, opened fire on the earthworks
Yesterday. The shore to the right of the
entrance was lined with guns and rifle pits,
but the Spiniards stampeded after firing a
few rounds.
The city Of Guantanamo lies four miles
up the bay, and little Spanish gunhoat
came dom 20 help the shore batteries,
but she stayed just long enough to turn
around. Numerous shots we're fred by
the Spaniards, but not one landed, and no
Americans were injured.
The main fort lies within the city limits,
and is still to be reduced, but it is not in
difficult position, and the American Off
Gers say it can be taken in fifteen minutes
when desired.
The Marblehead, Dolphin, Vixen and
the colliers have been off the entrance of
the harbor for several days, and yesterday
morning they sailed into the channel, a
mile further up they opened fire, sending
fifty shots at the fortifcations on the left.
The hills on the right of the entrance were
deserted. There are no defenses on the
right side of the hsrbor.

CHIEF ENGINEER on MAN-oF-wAR.
Importance of the Black Gang in the
Stoke Hole.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
When chief engineer on man-of-war
to-day acquires the dislike of his "black
gang" they are capable of making, heavy
trouble for him. Aside from the COM
manding officer, it might almost be said
that, of all the officers attached to a mod
ern war vessel, it is most necessary for
the chief engineer to possess the devotion
of the men Immediately under him. The
chief engineer is held strictly accountable
for the preservation in good condition of
the ships machinery. A loose screw may
very easily disable an engine, and it
Is the simplest thing in life to loosen a
screw without any ones being the wiser.
one cut rivet is enough to make a boiler
useless, and crown plates may be let down
easily enough.
A crime of this sort has never been fas-
tened upon an enlisted man In the engi-
neers department of an American man
of-war, but 1t is a matter of common
knowledge in the navy that those chief
engineers who are unpopular with the men
under them have by far the most trouble
with the machinery and boilers in their
charge, and some of these disliked chiefs
have to expend a great deal of ink and
paper in explaining to the department tie
many break-downs in the gear over which
they have control. 1t is quite possible
for an aggrieved coal passer to get his
chief engineer tangled up with a court of
inquiry. Moreover it often happens that
an unpopular chief engineer can't get his
men to make steam. The firemen appar-
emily work hard enough, but they don't
get the revolutions out of the propellers.
News travels just as fast from the cabin
to ocsle as 1t does from the TO C sic
] to the cabin, and when the firemen hear
that their unpopular chief engineer has
been ordered by the commanding officer
to get the ship to such and such a port
at such and such a time, they catch one
another's eyes, and the ship doesn't set
there at that time or anything like it. 1t
would make no difference if the chief en-
gineer himself were to stand watch in the
firerooms twenty-four hours at a stretch.
The steam registers wouldn't take any
upward leaps on account of his presence.
The assistant engineers also stand in need
of the goodwill of the black gang. On
ships attached to which there have been
two assistant engineers, one of them liked
and the other out of favor with the men
below, 1t has frequently been observed
that the speed of the ship during the
watches of the disliked engineer has fall
len short by knots of the speed gotten
out of the engines by his brother officer.

DuNs REVIEW OF THE SITUATION
Failures of First Quarter Smaller
Than Since 1856.

Than Since 1856.
New York, April 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say to-mor-
row: 'In spite of foreign conditions since
the destruction of the Maine on Feb. Is,
failures in three months are smaller than
in the first quarter of any year since
1886; the ratio of defaulted liabilities to
payments through clearing houses has
been the smallest for that quarter since
1881; the average of financial liabilities per
firm in business has been the smallest
since 1880, and the average of liabilities
per failure has been lower than ever be-
fore in any quarter. 1t is especially sig
nificant that the failures for less than
100000, without material decrease in num-
Der, were 20 per cent smaller in trading.
1.-THE war cloud, which many have in
ferred, must have greatly increased COM
mercial disasters, does not appear to have
any such effect as yet. Rates for money
have advanced and the s per cent which
used to be the ruling rate in active times
again prevails. But the imports of gold
go far to prevent any real anxiety. More
over, although part of the hypothicated
exchange on Europe has been sold and
ordered against 1t, there is known to be
about S300O0000 more yet in the banks
at New York, and $12,O0O,OOO in other cit
les, against which gold is liable to be i'm
ported because there is small prospect of
any better settlement.
1.-THE outgo of breadstuffs continues, At
lantic exports being 2,516, 90 bushels, flour
included, for the week, against 21S5, 37S
last year, and Pacific exports 542,147 bush
els, against 1875, 207 last year, and for the
past five weeks from both coasts, and the
exports have been II, 500, 917 bushels, against
S,226, 256 last year. Meanwhile corn exports
have been for the week 3,767, 029 bushels
against 4,291. 621 last year. All the specu-
lative movements at the West have been
less influential than this heavy and con-
tinued buying of grain. and Western re-
ceipts begin to fall off as if supplies were
no longer unlimited. Wheat has declined
slightly, but corn has advanced one-quar-
ter cent for the week, and no one ina giues
that foreign troubles can check the outgo
Cotton has advanced an eighth because
of the idea that production may be reduc-
ed, although receipts from plantations
thus far have been greater than in 1895
the largest crop ever raised. and, while
the mills are now nearly all active, the
consumption does not exceed the maxi
mum.

crease.

just as firmly established by the ex.
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri.
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
fee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds ND
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
