HEROIC WORK.
The Converted Yacht Hawk First in the
Fight with the AIphonso MI.

ftkht II u <tlpnon>o MI.
Key West. Fla. July 2, ESQ D.. M
There is now little doubt that the
Spanish steamer destroyed by the
Hawk. Prairie and Castine at Mariel
on Wednesday last was the trans-At-
lantic liner Alfonso XII, of nearly 5000
tons.
Although the American ships were
unable to approach close enough to
clearly establish her identity. on ac-
count of the brisk fire from the steam
er and shore battery. her outlines tally
closely with the description of the AL
fonso XII. given in Lloyd's. The de-
struction was a daring piece of work.
The credit does not belong alone to the
Prairie. whose big guns finally encom-
passed the Spaniard's ruin and left her
a mass of blazing wreckage on the
beach. The work of the little converted
yacht Hawk was heroic to a degree. 1t
was she who first discovered the enemy
and at once gave chase. running back
at a distance when the Spaniards drew
in under the Mariel batteries and close
to the two Spanish gunboats lying in
the harbor.
Before seeking aid, however, the
Hawk lowered a small boat, manned
by Ensign Schofield and a crew of six.
In the bright light of the tropical moon
they pulled boldly to within a ships
length of the Spaniard after she had
gone aground, their mission being to
learn her name. From the time they
left the Hawk until their return, the
small boat and her crew were made a
brilliant target for the machine guns
and small arms aboard the steamer and
incessant fire was directed at them.
Nothing ~daunted. they drew close
enough to hear spoken orders on the
enemy's deck. Shots were flying all
around them. but non struck and they
were eventually compelled to return to
their ship without having accomplished
their purpose.
The fire was not only from the Span
iards, but from the Mariel tower, a
sand battery and the Spanish gunboats
continued until the Castine and Prairie
came up and silenced them and de-
stroyed the Alphonso XII.

RUINED BY FIRE.
One Man Fell From the Sixth Floor and
Was Instantly Killed.


Cleveland. Ohio. July 9.-The Parson
block, six stories high, at the corner of
Erie and Vincent streets. was ruined by
fire shortly after noon to-day. 1t was
owned and mainly occupied by the
Clark ritton Printing though
several smaller concerns were located in
1t. There was only a freight elevator
and no fire escapes. The flames spread
quickly, and the escape of Charles w.
Asbrand, proprietor of a taine glass
establishment on the sixth story, and
one of his employees, Horace +. Potter.
was cut off. Asbrand got out of a win
dow and, after hanging a moment,
dropped. He struck a wire sign pro-
jecting from the fourth story and hung
there a m by one foot. Then he
descended. head foremost, to the flag
ging on the street and was instantly
killed. A minute later the firemen
spread a net below the window where
Porter was seen. He got out, hung by
his hands and. after dropping, by mar
velous strength and skill, caught the
sill on the fifth story window below him.
The wire sign was beneath him, to one
side. and, swinging his body back and
forth, he again let go and struck the
sign to break his fall. Then he glanced
off and landed on the small. sloping roof
of a bay window at the second story.
He rolled off and fell squarely into the
life net. He was quickly carried to the
Hudson station, where the doctors say
his injuries consist only of several
bruises and a dislocated elbow. He is
% years of age and unmarried.
The loss on the building and stock
to the Clark Britton Printing company
will be SOS. 900. and that of the other ten
ants about SEQ 900. There will probably
be a rigid investigation into the cause
of the fire and the condition Of the
building.
