A NAVAL SKIRMISH.
Cutters from the Massachusetts
and New York Venture Into
Santiago Harbor,

Of Santiago de Cuba, Friday, June II,
p. m.-(Per the Associated Press Dis
patch Wanda, Kingston, Jamaica, Sat
urday, June Is, S:45 a. MA hot brush
between some Spanish troops and a re-
oonnoitering party, in steam cutters, &C.
CURED at daylight this morning in a
small cove west of Moro castle. The
massachusetts steam cutter, in charge of
Lieut. Harlow, entered the cove to take
soundlngs and recounoiter. When well
inside the inlet a detachment of Spanish
infantry opened fire upon the cutter from
blockhouse. The fire was vigorously
returned by the marines in the Massa-
chusetts boat and also by marines who
were in the New York's cutter, which
was in charge of Naval Cadet Powe1,
and which had followed in.
The New York's cutter was hit ten
times and a marine in the cutter of the
Massachusetts had the stock of his rife
shattered, but by great good luck none
OF the crew was hit.
The Texas opened fire with her 6-pound-
ers on the hillside and the Vixen steamed
right into the cove and peppered the
blockhouse with her rapid-fre guns.
Eventually. the Spaniards retreated to
the woods and the two steam cutters with
Grew.
The Yankee arrived here yesterday and
last, while off Cienfuegos, a Spanish gun
boat came out to meet the Yankee, evil

sell The Spaniard, however. soon saw
his mistake, turned tail and opened fire,
which was holly returned by the Yankee.
The latter chased the gunboat until the
Spaniard took refuge in the harbor, whose
forts opened fire on the American vessel
Thereupon the 1ankee engaged the
eastern and western batteries, but seeing
no chance of catching the gunboat, the
Yankee withdrew During the engage
ment a Spanish shell burst over the Yam
kee and a falling fragment struck u

The Spanish gunboat chased by the
Yankee was of about 500 tons and 200
feet long
The naval reserves who man the Yam
kee fought well.
Madrid, June 1S.-An official dispatch
from Santiago de Cuba gives the follow
ing account of the recent bombardment
of the forts at that place by vessels of
the American feet:
AT daybreak on June 16 an American
cruiser and yacht opened fire on Punta
CABRERA and the Notifications west of
Santiago, in the meanwhile dispa itching
steam launches with landing party,
which Gen. Aldea repulsed without loss.

NO NAVAL MANEUVERS.
A Decision by Great Britain Which
is the Subject of Much
7+s~s Speculation.

London, June 1S.-It is announced that
Great Britain will not hold her usual an
nual naval maneuvers this year. which
has caused much speculation as to the rea-
son for this step. In some quarters it
is said it is due to lack of COAL owing
to the Welsh strike. But in other quar-
ters it is believed that important events
are in sight.
The officials of the British admiralty de-
cline to give their reasons for abandoning
the maneuyers, but they say it is not be-
cause of lack of coal, as ample supplies of
fuel were secured previous to the strike
of the miners in Wales.

Outstanding Her Coal.

London, June 20.-Replying to a ques-
first lord of the admiralty, Mr.. Goschen,
said the annual naval maneuvers had
been abandoned in consequence of the
serious character of the strike of coal
miners in Wales. Although the British
admiralty never possessed a larger stock
of coal than at present, Mr.. Goschen said
it was thought prudent to husband it.

THE LITERARY CENTER.

Whether not this country has literary
center is a matter of no great consequence,
perhaps, but it is a question frequently dis
cussed. There was time when Boston,
rightfully enough, held undisputed title to
the position. That was when Longfellow
Lowell, Holmes and Whittier and the rest
were in their prime. They lived in or near
to Boston. and drew about them from all
parts of the United States writer's of less
degree, but men of ability none the less.
The leading publishing houses were there,
and they served as an attraction also. Now,
some of the strongest publishing houses are
in New York, and many authors find life in
regions distant from Boston desirable. Some
of them have gone from that city to New
York, and, assuming that literary center
must be where the greatest number of
books are issued from the press and where
many authors live, the latter city proudly
arrogates to herself supremacy in the lit
erary world The subject is discussed by
w. D. Howells in an interesting letter in the
current number of Literature. He briefly
surveys the development of literature
throughout the country, and speaks with
more authority concerning the two cities in
question, since he is one of those who left
Boston for New York, and is now a resident
of the larger city. One thing is certain, he
says, namely that while certain phases of
metropolitan life have been veraciously
depicted literature has not taken to New
York society. 1t is an even thing, he says.
New York society has not taken to our lit
erature. New York publishes it, criticiSeS
it and circulates it, but | doubt if New
York society much reads it or cares for it,
and New York is therefore by no means the
a large number of our literary men live in
or about New York Boston. in my time.
at least, had distinctly a literary atmos-
phere. which more or less pervaded society;
but New York has distinctly nothing of the
kind, in any pervasive sense. 1t is a vast
mart. and literature is of the things
no more for it than for some other prod
ucts bought and sold here: it does not care
nearly so much for books as for horses or
for stocks. and l suppose it is not unlike
the good society OF any other metropolis
in this. To the general here journalism is
a far more appreciable thing than literature
and has greater recognition, for some very
good reasons; but in Boston literature had
vastly more honor, and even more popular
recognition. than journalism. There jour
nalism desired to be literary, and here lit
erature has TO try hard not to be journal
| istic. If New York is a literary center on
| the business side. as London is Boston was
| a literary center as Weimar was and as
Edinburgh was. III felt literature as those
capitals felt it, and If it did not love ii quite
| SO much as might seem, ii always respect

This expresses well what has doubtless

dinners. Mr.. Kipli1g made very delight

that when Mr.. Cecil Rhodes's time came

men condone all Mr.. Rhodess sins for the
reason that he is an empire builder. And, at
the same time. they. admire Mr.. Gladstone

tender tl-at 1t made him anything but an
empire builder"
A Boston writer asks: Where is the war

and adds: "A few weeks ago. shortly after
the war was declared. publisher here
prophesied that before the warm days of
July came and even sooner, the market
would be fairly inundated with novels and
tales dealing with the war and the Cuban
the trade that the demand for literature Of
that kind would be so great that authors
could make up by dealing in that for what
they lost in other directions on account of
the interest in the conflict. 1t was pointed
out that the opportunity of a lifetime had
come to revel in blood and love, in dark
dreamy eyes and luxurious vegetation, the
Southern Cross and all the other elements
that make the descriptive writer happy IN
his calling. But the supply does not seem
TO be forthcoming, and in literature a

small call for this kind of story, although
they are confident that they could sell the
books if they had them"

arbitrary punishment OF children. God does
penalty and the child should not be pun
ished when it does wrong because it is in
the wrong but should be told what will
naturally follow the doing of a forbidden
act, and then, if 1t persists, it will learn by
experience and be the more deeply inn
pressed. Fer instance, this interesting
father would not hide box of candy from

of the suffering child is concerned, but

warning that it would hurt. Carrying out
this principle, this man would, of course,
consider it the part of wisdom and dis
cipine to keep intoxicants within reach of
the man trying to reform, or money lying
loose where it will tempt a weak brother.
He forgets, evidently, that men are hidden
to ask that temptation be removed from
them, and that if men must be sometimes
saved from themselves babies with their un-
trained appetites and undeveloped reason
ing powers must be protected and re-
strained rather than allowed their independ-

SO well conducted a periodical as the Out

pages. 1t should reflect that not everything
