COMMANDMENT.
WAX BEGUN IN EARNEST
BY THE UNITED STATES
BLOCKADERs.:

Gums of the Now York. Cfncin-
natl and Puritan \ Turned
Loose on the Forts of Man
tanZAs.
Copyright, 1888, by the Associated Press.
On Board the Flagship New York.
on Matanzas, April q, 2 p. m
The New York, the Puritan and the
Cincinnati bombarded the fcrts at the
mouth OF Matanzas harbor this after.
noon.
There were no casualties on our
side, but it is believed that the hail of
iron which pounded in the forts must
have caused loss of life to the Span
iards, though nothing is known def
nitely.
The engagement commenced at
l2:57 and ceased at l: Is.
The object Of the attack was to pre-
vent the completion Of the earthwork
at Punta Gorda.
A battery on the eastward arm of
the bay opened fire on the flagship and
it was also shelled.
About twelve eight-inch shells were
fired from the eastern forts, but all
ell short. About five or six light
shells were fired from the half-com-
pleted battery. Two of these whizzed
over the New York and one fell short.
The ships left the bay for the open
sea, the object of discovering the
whereabouts of the batteries hav-
ing been accomplished.
In the neighborhood Of three hun
dred shots were put on the land from
h,n oh NJ Is
4 900 to 1000 yards.
Rear Admiral Sampson, when asked
if he was satisfied with the result, said:
Yes. am. expected to be-"
The half-completed Spanish earth
works and battery we're apparently all
plowed up by the shells.
All the ships engaged showed excel
lent craftsmanship throught the en-
gagement, and when they were firing
at the shortest range nearly every
shell took effect. The forts which were
bombarded were on a low lying point,
and were considered merely arth-
works. They did not make q good
target, yet when the big guns were
fred at the shortest range portions of
the fort could be seen flying in the air
at every shot.
The flagship returned to Havana and
the Puritan and Cincinnati were left
on Matanzas station.
OBJECT OF THE BoMBARDMENT.
WASHINGTON. d c.. April 2S.
Secretary Long has no news of the
bonn bardment at Matanxas. The
strategy bosrd believes it was only
the purpose of Sampson to draw the
fire of the batteries to learn their num-
ber and strength and prevent work on
new batteries.

Yes, see him.

eats pie from the force of habit. He
really wants only cup of coffee.
but he feels that he should order
something else, too, so he takes pie.

There is another kind of pie eater

eats pie with apologies. He likes
pie, but he thinks that ii is unmanly
to eat such stuff Then we have the

throw them out. Missionaries are of
all sects, Catholic and Protestant, and
come from Europe and America. There
are fifty French bishops in China, Mr..
DENLY says, and he speaks of the
Catholic orphanage at Foo-choo that
shelters 1000 children, and of the
Methodist church in Picking, built to
hold 1000 persons, which gets 1000
children from the streets into it's Sun
day school on Sunday. Mr.. DENLY has
no sympathy with the sentiment that
American missionaries had better
work at home. He says that folks who
sniff at missionary work in China
don't know what is going on. AS for
himself, he says he made it his bust
ness to find out and to that end, in
1886, soon after he went to China, he
visited all the treaty ports and invited
all the American missionaries to come
and see him, and so he got a thorough
insight into missionary work.

FAULTS IN EATING.

Prof. Atwater Writes on Food Uses
and Abuses.
Professor AtWater, who is in charge
of the Governments food experiments,
says at San Francisco, people general
ly are greatly mistaken in food econo-
my.
/. First and foremost we use excess
sive quantities OF food. This is true
not only of the well-to-do but of many
people in moderate circumstances also.
Part of the excess which is bought is
thrown away in wastes of the kitchen
and the table, so that the injury to
health from overeating, great as it
may be, is doubtless much less than
if all the food we buy were actually
eaten.
Not everybody eats too much; in
deed, there are some who do not eat
enough for healthful nourishment.
But there are those, and their name is
legion, with whom the eating habit is
as vicious in it's effect on health as the
drinking habit.
2. We purchase needlessly expensive
kinds of food. We use the costller
kinds of meat, fish, vegetables and the
like, when less expensive ones are
lust as nutritious and when rightly
cooked just as palatable- Many do
this under the impression that there
is some peculiar virtue in the dear
food materials, and that economy IN
their diet is somehow detrimental tC
their dignity or welfare. And, unfor-
tunately, those who are most extra
VACANT in this respect are often the
ones who can least afford it.
8. Our diet is apt to be one-sided
It often does not contain the differ
ent nutritive ingredients in the pro
per proportions. We consume rela
lively too much of the fuel ingredient
of food-those which are burned II
the body and yield head and muscula
mower. Such are the fats OF meat am
butter. the starch which makes up tn
larger part of nutritive material o
-four, potatoes and sugar, OF Whlc
such enormous quantities are eaten /
the United States. Conversely we nav
relatively too little of the protein o
fesh-forming substances, like the lea
of meat and fish and the gluten c
wheat. which make muscle and sine
and which are the bases of blood, bon
and brain.

WEST POINT DISCIPLINE.
Cadet Captain Reduced TO Ranks tol
an Order.

Cadet Captain Reduced TO Ranks for
an Order.
\ cadet captain at West Point has
Just been reduced to the ranks for
a peculiar and unprecedented reason.
Recently, while he was drilling his
company, a runaway horse dashed
across the field on the flank OF the
command. Some of the cadets, not
vet perfected in the art of immObility
under strain, began to turn their
heads to watch the course of the AMI
NAL. At that unpropitious moment
one of the tactical officers assigned
from the regular army to discipline,
CHANGED along the field. The captain
naturally sought to preserve his COM
pany from reprimand and commanded:
Keep your eyes to the 'front.'" This
had the desired effect upon all of the
cadets but one, for whom the runaway
horse still had a TesiStless attraction.
Losing his self-possesion, the captain
| turned sharply and said: Turn your
/
remain quiet and face the front" 1t
/ happened that the tactical officer heard
the two commands and in consequence
he at once reported the captain for
giving an unmilitary order. The reg
ulations require men in ranks to alb
stain from gazing about, and the cap
/ tain had in effect permitted this while
requiring the men TO keep their heads
still. The order, too, was not in for
mula. The commandant of cadets, with
full and final jurisdiction over the
case, Immediately upon investigating
the matter, reduced the captain TO the
ranks, a punishment graded by cadets
as next TO death or dismissal. The
episode illustrates the rigidity with
which the youthful soldiers are train,
ed at the governments military school
