Did They Sink a DESTROYER?

On Board the American Press
Dispatch Boat Dauntless, off Santi.
ago dc Cuba, via Kingston, June G.
Whether the American fleet sunk
q Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer on
Friday night has not been absolutely
confirmed.
AT 10 o'clock Friday night the
cruiser New Orleans discovered what
appeared to be a torpedo boat do
stroyer close to the shore and sigal.

night torpedo attack was to be made.
Both the New York and New Or
leans opened fire and their shells
burst around the dark object. Final.

chuetts (not the Oregon as fret
reported,) was fred and exploded.
The search lights of the vessels
were turned on the spot where the
supposed destroyer had been sight
ed, bu9 not trace of the boat could
be found, and it is believed on thd
New York that she was sunk.
The first assumption was that the
vessel WAS the Terror, but it is
thought now that il was the Pluton
or Furor, rs the Terror is not under
stood to have been Mt Santiago. On
Saturday two Schwarzkopf torpedos
were found floating two miles south
Of Ell Moro This is the class of
torpedo used by the Spanish and
one OF the two found had on the
practice head.
Many officers of the fleet believe
that n darkened eye train that was
moving along the shore was the real
object Of the bombardnent, inst lead
of destroyer. No wreckage had
been found, no dead bodies have
been noticed, and it is possible that
the torpedos were some of those
fired at the collier Merrlmac when
Lieutenant Hobson sunk her, which
subsequently foated outside the
harbor.

WITHOUT a SCRATCH.
How Sampson Received tn 9
News of Hobsop's
Safety.

With the fleet of Santiago, June 8,
p. M, via King-ton, jamaica,

All the members of the Merimac ex-
pedition are safe. Two are slightly
wounded, but Lieut.. Hobson escapS
ell without a scratch. This almost
incredible news was brought out
this afternoon to Rear Admiral
Sampson by Admiral Cprvera's chief
of staff under flag of truce.
"Admiral Cervera," said Captain
Bustemente Oviedo, g is so touched
by the bravery of the young men
that he felt it only right you should
know they are alive. They are pris-
oners of war and are being well
treated"
Tremendous enthusiasm reigns ov-
er the complete success of the expe-
ldition. During the day The Meri-
mac was plainly seen lying athwart
the channel. She could hurdly have
been placed better had see been sunk
in the day light and with no accom-.
panie enl of fire. Ii was nm anxious
day on all the ships. BY noon all
the officers and men feureI the Meri-
macs heroes had died in their work,
but at O'Clock this afternoon little
black tug flying Il white flag was seen
coming out of the saffron hills
of the hdrbor.
Slowly she moved toward New
York. Assistant Chief nf Staff,

half why. Captain Oviehu signilied
his desire la see Admiral Snmp>on
personally, and he wus taken ali .atd
the flagship.
Tine enthusiasm as the news spread
from signals from the Vixen WA, so
intense that the appearance oC the
Spanish Captain over the side of the
New York hardly excited the sur
prise that might have been expected.
AA''ii'"i .o"iiitsou SIcctcU OtDthlu
Oviedo most cordially, thanking
Admiral Cervera for his gallant
courtesy, and made the preliminary
arrangements for the exchange of
Lieutenant Hobson and his seven
heroes.
However, lis they have naturally
learned much about the fortifica-
tons, it is hardly likely that they
will be exchanged for some time.
After friendly chat in the cabin,
Admiral Sampson sat on deck " ith
Captain Ovied0 and pointed out his
great ships with pride. Stores and
clothing for the Merimac heroes
were put aboard the Colon, and Cap
tain Ovied0 went back In his little
black tug under the flag of truce,
never used, perhaps. to more
chivalrous purpose.
The names of the two wounded
men were not ascertained. One has
slight wound in the cheek and the
other in the hip.
After blowing up the MerImac
Lieutenant Hobson and his party
swain ashore and were captured.

SOME SPRING DISHES.
How to Make Deep Dish Apple Pie
and q Variety of Delicious Egg
Preparations.

Apple sauce will not answer for de-
licious d~eep-dish pie. The apples must
be in distinct slices, white and firm.
Mrs. Cheerup, who serves it frequently
to an appreciative family, peels and
quarters the fruit and inverts a small
teacup in the center of a two-quart bak-
ing dish, slices the large quarters each
three times and puts them in three lay
ers. Between the layers she puts tiny
bits of yellow lemon peel, without a
particle of white adhering, a table
spoonful of sugar 10 each layer, one OF
top, and over all the piece of a lemon
and a cup of the strip that was in the
apples. She is famous for her light,
iaky, but not overrich piecrust; with
this she lines the sides and covers the
top, and when the pie comes to the
table there is great rejoicing. On high
days soft custard or cream is eaten
over this pie.
Curried Eggs-Take six eggs, two
teaspoonfuls of curry powder, ~ pints
of gravy and -four and butter to thick
en-: mix the curry powder to a paste
with a little gravy; let it simmer gently
till reduced'to half a pint; thicken with
-four and butter. Boil the eggs quite
hard, cut them into slices, yolk and
white together, warm for five minutes
and serve hot.
Mushroom with Eggs.-Cut the mush-
room in halves, stew ten minutes in a
little butter, seasoned with pepper and
salt, and a very little water; drain, put
the mushrooms in a pie dish, break
enough eggs to cover them over the
top, pepper, salt and scatter bits of but
ter over them; stew with bread crumbs
and bake until the eggs are set. Serve
in the dish.
Eggs with Parsley and Butter
Sauce.-Allow an egg for each person
and hard boil them for Is minutes:
shell them and cut in halves length
wise; put these eggs into a hot silver
or treproof dish; pour over the follow
ing c Take a clean saucepan that
will hold one pint; put into il ~ ounces
of butter; put it on the fire and let it
melt slowly, but DO not let it boil-that
spoils the taste of the sauce.
Next add to the melted butter one
ounce of flour, draw the pan off the
fire and stir both together with a wood
en- spoon till il is smooth and free from
Jumps; then pour in three-quarters of
a pint of cold milk; put the saucepan
on the fire and stir gently till the sauce
boils well. Season with pepper and salt,
and at the last moment stir in one ia
b~lespoonful of very finely chopped pars-
ley.
Delicious Dreamed Eggs.-Hard boil a
half dozen eggs and cut in slices when
cold. Make a nice white sauce by cream
ing one even tablespoonful of butter
with two of o and adding one pint of
milk (cream prefcrred) and letting
come TO a boil. In a fireproof dish put a
layer of cream. then a aver of eggs:
another of cream. and so on. Sprinkle
bread crumbs over the top and brown.
Make sure that the sauce is of sufficient
consistency to keep the eggs from soak
ing into it.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
