New YORK, May 19.-With thick
smoke fluJtering up from her forward
ventilators and the fire signal flag dis
played in her rigging. the North Ger
man Lloyd ocean liner Barbarossa put
back into port yesterday, ending trip
which, though of only few hours
duration. was full Of exciting incidents.
While returning the Barbarosa struck
lighter and sustain ed bent PROV.
This threw her into the slips. The side
OF the vessel struck the end of the pier
Al, throwing the bow into the French
Inner La Bretagne, which lay at the
dock. She struck with such force that
the Bretagne was stove in. Her PROV
was run clear through the barge Foster,
sinking the barge Immediately, and the
barge Leroy was rammed so badly that
she sank within short time. The Bar
barossa was hauled off and, still burn
ing fiercely below decks, taken across
the river to her dock in Hoboken. Her
cotton laden compartment was flooded,
and the fire was extinguished.

at Z so in the morning from Ell Poso

giving the Spaniards the advantage.
Their guns. were back of San Juan, but
on the same level, about. AT the third
or fourth shot in answer to Grimes a
single shell killed two of Grimes gum
ners and wounded four. He had 80 men
and three officers in the battery at the
time Grimes had had the San Juan
blockhouse given to him for target,
and he did his best to make splinteis of
the structure. After firing four or five
shots the Spaniards opened up, and then
began three hours duel between the
American aud Spanish gunners. 1t is
hard to say which got the worst of it.
A staff officer representing Shafter,
Colonel McClernand, stayed in the bat
terry and Kept up communications by
telegraph with his chief The first shots
of the Spaniards burst high and hit
some of the troops and horses, as well
as some Cubans on the hither slope of
Ell Poso hill. AS stated, the third or
fourth shot landed on the target, so it
was evident that Grimes would not be
let alone In bombarding Fort San Juan.
The Spaniards had absolute range and
could see by the clouds of smoke just
where the American guns were located.
But in firing at the Spanish artillery,
Grimes only guide was the fash, and
that not always seen. The first flash
seen was located between the blockhouse
and building some distance one side
Of it, in the rear. On that range Grimes
pounded away until the military balloon
got between him and the target. The
Spaniards turned their guns upon the
balloon. and the shots dropped among
the American troops.
After the balloon disappeared the
Spanish opened from new point to the
left of the old one and of the blockhouse.
The American cavalry had got up the
first spur of the ridge in that direction.

CINCINNATI. May 19.-The 11-year- old
colcred boy, James Weaver, yesterday
confessed that he had put rough on rats
in the coffee that killed his step brother
and brought his father to the door of
death. But most startling of all was
his admission that he poisoned his step
mother, who died suddenly last April
4. Now. to clap the climax, he is sus.
pected Of poisoning the Rev. John H.
jackson, a colored Methodist preacher,
who died last Sunday. It is said Jack
son visited Weaver's house and the boy
brought him glass of water. The boy
says he only meant to make his victims
sick. His mother. who was arrested in
Chattanooga, has been released.

chine guns at Ell Caney, where the
Americans opened the ball with Ca
prom S light artillery on the morning of
July l.
General Chaffee one of Lawton 5
Brigade commanders was responsible
for Caprons battery in the fighting
outfit that day, and it was due to him
that there was but one battery on the
ground. He asked for one and got it.
AS matters turned out, Ell Caney might
have fallen earlier than it did if the
artillery had been doubled in effective
ness. Heavy guns were needed to smash
blockhouses which the troops couldn't
reach on Il charge ncr silence with rifle
Shots.
At Ell Carey the American line was
shaped like V, with the village at the
mouth and tho stone fort in the angle.
Capron's battery was 1000 yards or
more from the line at the angle and was
in danger of shooting into the troops on
the opposite line as they neared the
Spanish position. Capron opened at
1900 yards on some Spanish cavalry in
the village Of Ell Caney and killed an
officer and 16 troopers In the village
was loopholed church, but the gun
ners We're ordered not to fire upon that.
The firing began at o'clock and was
suspended at 1915, at which hour
nothing had been accomplished beyond
stirring up the Spanish in the village.
Some shells had been thrown at the
blockhouse, the key to the position, but
the Spaniards still held it in full force.
Several times the infantry had sent
word to Capron that his fire endangered
them. Lawton stood by Capron all day
and directed the fire Of the guns. At
1890 the shots were turned on the
blockhouse, and at 2 :15 it's flagstaff was
cut down. and the enemy began to de-
sert it. Soon afterward Chaffee's infan-
try charged up and found holes in the
walls large enough to admit man.
asked Lieutenant w. r. Kenly, who
commanded section under Capron
that day and represented his captain.
why the guns were not taken nearer, so
as to double their power. He said that
owing to tho black powder the enemy
would have found them an easy target
and the gunners could not have lived at
closer range than about 5000 yards
But after the blcckhouse had fallen the
guns were rushed up to within 1000
yards of the smaller blockhouses at the
village. After firing two shots word
came that the Spanish had surrendered
In the trenches at Santiago Capron 8
guns were within 800 yards of the
Spanish infantry and 1900 of the ar
tillery. but then the gunners were I'M
der cover. At Ell Caney they had stood
in the open, except for the cover of
chaparral and the branches of trees.
Showers of bullets swept through the
trees. but at that distance were harm
less.
A volunteer who was in the trenches
beside Capron's battery relates this in
cident of the bombardment. Said he:
"Overhead the Spanish shells were
humming and screeching. I could occa-
sionally see the CLINT of one in the sun
shine as it passed over. About our ears

was singing and zooing. There was
