Some stores, mostly for the sale of IL

enthusiastic crew Of the dispatch boat.

Loss OF THE SAN DOMINGO.
Little GunbOat Drives Her Ashore
and Burns Her.

and Burns Her.
Key West. July 19.-The Spanish trans
port Atlantic liner San Domingo of $500
tons, was totally destroyed by the little
auxiliary gunboat Eagle on July p, off
Cape Francis This intelligence was
brought here to-day by the Nashville,
which came up after the attack and found
the Spanish ship burned and smashed on
the reefs.
The affair offers a striking commentary
on the difference between American and
Spanish spirit
The San Domingo had two 5-lnch guns
mounted and loaded, her magazines were
open, and il only remained for her to train
her guns aud FIRE Their 10 blow the Eagle
out of the sea.
But the latter with her comparatively
small battery of 6-pounders steamed to
within two miles of the enemy and pound
ed shot after shot into her until she
turned, and in desperate effort TO get
into the narrow channel grounded on the
reef
Then the Eagle sent a crew to board
HeIs anu tuSIt were SIOuAS VI surprise
when the big guns were discovered. She
also carried in her hold two Pinch guns
The cargo was largely of grain and
food supplies. Fifty head OF cattle were
penned on the decks. She had been draw
ing twenty-four feet of water and went
aground in twenty.
The Eagles men decided that she was
too far gone 10 be ioated, and after shoot
ing the cattle, they set fire to her and
watched her destruction. a small river
steamer came out TO try to get off some
of the cargo but was bafIled by the
flames.
The San Domingo burned for three days
and was left charred and misshapen
wreck
She was one OF the best steamers of the
enemy, and had been used as an auxiliary
cruiser.
According to the San Domingo papers
she was bound from Vera Cruz, Mex for
New York, via. Savannah, but of course
being a regular Spanish liner the mention
Of New York in her manifest is aipable
subterfuse, the inteution having been to
gain some Cuban port and get the guns
and provisions to the beicaguered Span
iards
With the Montevidoo she slipped out Of
Havana harbor and got away month
ago when the blockade had been weak

Notice to watch for her had been sent

many petty annoyances from Spain. Still
she cannot help her admiration Of Spanish
valor.

HENDRIcK LEAVES THE BOARD.

 Resignation Handed to Mayor a Week
 Ago.
 It leaked out yesterday that Fire Commissioner Albert c. Hendricl had rendered his resignation to Mayor Farnsworth about a week ago. The reason of his withdrawal is attributed to the action of the board in selecting a fire marshal to succeed Fancher last November. MT. Hendricl1 is quoted as saying on the subject of his resigna- tion yesterday:
 ''I think the public knows the reason pretty well. In the appointments made at the November meeting civil service was ignored and became farce. Then I did not like tn eway the board treat ed Superintendent Fancher in taking away from him the power to make rec concentrations. It was all wrong"
