Spanish soldiers are displaying much
activity along the coast from Bahia
Honda to Cardenas. AS the blockading
fleet have instructions to prevent the
erection of new Notifications and have
shelled working parties, the task of
Strengthening earthworks is carried on
at night save near Havana.
Along the coast fresh sand batteries
are being thrown up almost every night,
but these works are fiimsy and could be
reduced in few minutes. The officers
believe Blanco is wasting a good deal
Of energy in the erection of insignificant
shore batteries. The strengthening Of
the more formidable works about Ha-
vana is a very different thing.
The Hornet and the Winslow, now
blockading Matanzas, have had a lively
time Smelling Spanish details at work
on batteries and telegraph lines outside
of the entrance of the harbor. The
work is done at night, and each morn
ing sees fresh earthworks thrown up.
L On Sunday morning the Hornet found
a party putting up a telegraph line.
The batteries here are of high power
guns To stop this Geographic activ-
ity the Hornet steamed quietly in and
dropped a shell in the midst of the
Workmen. They
SCATTERED LIKE RABBITS.
Several other telegraph parties have
been discouraged in the same way at
other points.
The British tramp steamer Strathdee,
Capt. Currie, attempted to run the
blockade yesterday, but was overhauled
by the Machias. The captain claimed
that the vessel was loaded with sugar,
and that he had on board a number of
Spanish refugees from Sagua la Grande
He also said that the steamer was
bound for MatanZas, where it was de-
sired to disembark some of the refugees
The commander of the Machias was
skeptical of this story, however, and
warned the captain of the Strathdee
that if he attempted to take the vessel
into Matanzas she would be fired on,
whereupon the Strathdee put about and
steamed away in the direction of New
York.

Since there have been a number Of

menced getting in line also, as they be-
lleve they are not treated right at many
places along the line The kick is
raised by the train mail agents, and
they object very strongly to the way
letters and other matter is thrown into
the cars. A well known mail man
stated the other day that he had a run
on the B. & 0. between Grafton and
Wheeling, and at Fairmont and Man
nington the practice Of people throw
ing letters all over the car is something
awful. The porters at the hotels rush
up to the mail car and they generally
have big handful and they care very
little whether the agent gets them Or
not. The practice was broken up con-
siderably a few days ago when the por-
tiers were instructed to hand the mail
into the cars or the doors would be
closed in their face. This has had the
desired effect so far, and a number OF
drummers along the line should follow

tent, although she has just recovered
from slight sick spell Until recent
ly she has been able to sew and read
without the aid of glasses, the use of
which she stopped years ago. Mrs.
Fisher. who remembers all the wars
since 1872, in which her brother took
part. is greatly interested in the pres

the pottery. Eight children We're born
to them, and four are living to-day Mr.
Fisher died in 1897, leaving Mrs Fisher
to support and raise the children, and

cendants in Ohio are very numerous to-

matoes, neighbor ENging pulled a
bushel in a swamp. They were thought
to be poison at that time, and it was
many years she said before they were
used for food She is opposed to wo-
men voting, and she can remember the
campaigns for nearly all the Presi-
dents, Mrs. Fisher is very pleasing
and intelligent talker, her only Difficult
ty being not hearing very well.
