BRILLIANT EXPLOIT
OF THE ST. LOUIS,
Special to EVENING HERALD.


Key West, June 3O-News has just re-
ceived of another brilliant exploit added to
the record of the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis.
This vessel on Friday night risked being
blown to pieces by Spanish guns in final
frantic and unsuccessful effort to find the
cable which connects Santiago with Kingston.
The st. Louis boldly steamed right to the
mouth of the harbor. She was discovered
by the Spaniards, and the searchlights on
MORO Castle played about the fearless
American vessel for a long time
In making this desperate attempt to pick
up the Kingston cable the st. Louis adj
vanced to within three hundred yards OF
