NEAR
THE COLON

A pause of ten seconds, which seemed
an hour. and close to the bow of the
Cristobal Colon rose fountain Of water
fully 100 feet high. BY this time the Span
iards were at work. Like flash the
awnings had disappeared from the CO.
Ions deck, and the men were called to
quarters. Three batteries, one on the
west side Of the harbor, one on the east
one On the island in the centre, opened
fire, and the guns Of the Colon chimed
In mighty chorus.
The New Orleans was now within
range. and her e-inch guns, charged with
smokeless powder, began barking In
most defiant tones The Iowa came next
Capt Evans waited until directly In the
face OF the Colon's brosdsids, and then
he let go his l2-inch guns fore and aft
with telling effect. All three ships were
now hammsrins away with their big
guns.

GOOD WORK BY
THE NEW ORLEANS

A fourth battery just beneath MORO
and close to the beach was unmssked by
the New Orleans. (, All four batteries and
tho Colon were replying rapidly, At
first the range was hard to get On both
sides because Of the deceptive glare on
the water. aud not until the ships had
passed before the forts and turned were
any effective shots 1red. After the Iowa
had passed, the little Vixen, In dare

battleship without being hit and without
firing herself. Ten minutes after firing
the first shot the Massachusetts, turned

1t was to draw the fire of these bat
tsries before the arrival Of Sampson's q fleet
that the attack was planned. When the
Massachusetts,, plunging through the
water at the rate of sixteen knots an
hour. was within 1000 yards of the en-
trance to the harbor a cloud of white
moke rose above the bow of the flagship,
and an Simon gun on her port side
bslched forth the challenge that opened
the fight.

Fined For Drunkenness and Then Ar
raigned For Assault.
Joseph b. Murray, q young man living
In Capt. Costine's district, started out
yesterday afternoon to have little fun.
He got drunk before be had gone far, and
called a. the house OF Thomas hook on
Dyer street, whore he got into trouble
with Mr.. Rock, and Norah shay. The
result was that Patrolman Alfred was
called, ana he took charge OF the festive
Frank, and escorted him to signal box.
In less than five minutes Frank was on
the way 60 the Plain street station, and to
this he sternly objected. He made an at
tempt to throw Patrolman 4. A. Wallace
from the hurry-up wagon, and just be-
cause the patrolman was kind to the
prisoner he took advantage and made q
second attempt to throw him out. Frank
made mistake for the patrolman struck
him and le went to the station the re-
mainder Of the way as meek as n lamb.
In the police court this morning he was
fined for being drunk, and an hour later
was arraiRned in the Sixth District
Court for making an assault upon Mr..
Rock and Miss Shay. He pleaded not
gully TO both charges and was held until
Tuesday for trial.

SHOT UNDER THE
CRISTOBAL COLON

One shot from the Iowa fell directly
under the Colon. and for few moments
that ship appeared to be on fire. II %
the blaze was quickly exsinguished and
the Spanish flagship continued to an
swer. All OF the Colon's shots, however.
fell In one spot. directly In the channel.
She did not seem able to change her
range, and most of her firing was therefore,
ridiculous. The shore batteries did bet
tor. One big shell exploded directly al.
most over the Iowa, but too high to do
any damage.
The ships passed only twice before the
battsries. The first shot was fired by the
Massachusetts, at 1 so o'clock, and the
last by the New Orleans at 2:25. The
Massachusetts, used only her 13 and S-inch
guns, the New Orleans her 6-inch and
the Iowa her 12 and s. The New Orleans
proved to be one Of the hottest and most
effective fighters in the navy, and Capt.
Fowler and his crew, who arrived only
Monday, are being generally congratu-
lated on the fine showing they made. The
New Orleans alone used smokeless DOW
der. Each shot she fired could be plainly
followed and It's effect marked.

THREE BATTERIES
WERE SILENCED

After 80 minutes firing the two batter
les on the right side Of the harbor were
silepoed. and five minutes later the one
on the island in the centre stopped. Tn.
large one on the west side, however, TO-
Gether with the Cristobal Colon, kept ND
weak fire for fully 20 minutes after the
ships had csased firing. The spaniards I
will, therefore. claim that they repulsed
the American fleet.
The battle lasted 55 minutes. As soon
as the signal to cease firing had boen
obsyed by our ships Commodore SchIsy
left the Massachusetts, and returned to
the Brooklyn. He expressed himself "a
entirely satisfied with the results attained
while the lighting lasted.
Capt. Jack Philip was on pins and

the help of these rays tuberculosis of

able exactness to say how much of them

points out also that the caverns which

come deficient in tissue allow the rays
