1t was also announced that the
Fifth regiment, now in camp at Fort |
Benjamin Harrison under Col. Wood
had been ordered to return at once
and the brave boys are expected here
tonight. The guard at the De Soto
casket was doubled and the Reserves
patrolled the river front all day.
Lieut.. Garner with sword in hand de-
cared that his men would sell their
lives as dearly as possibly not a,
man for less than 500. This heroic
statement so appealed to Ed Parker
that he went TO Tommy Browns
store and procured another magnifi-
cent medal for the commander 1t
is the gem of his collection
Tie Spaniards made no demonstra-
ton during the day and the sub
marine was visible at no time; bur at
nightfall the long hulk rose to the
surface and presently the watchers
were able to dimly descern ships
gig pulling into the harbor filled with
armed men.
Wait until you see the whites Of
their eyes" was the harshly whis-
pered command of Lieut. Garner.
Just at this iuncture great shell
from the Fall OF Jericho spectacle
rose screaming in the heavens and
when it burst the skies were illum-
ined as bright as day.
The Spanish crew was completely
surprised and terrorized Their
over the waters and when another
shell was shattered in the void above
them, they pulled in hot haste to
their ship. AS the bombardment
/ from the shore increased, the f1tful
lighting Of the skies disclosed that
the Spanish vessel had run up the
lion Of Spain to her diminutive mast
head and had trained her guns upon
the city
The bombardment of Quincy was
on,
Not in a generation has the city
spent such night of terror. Shells
shrieked overhead and their burst
ing fragments filled the heavens with
a hail of flame and ruin. The Span
iards believed that the fire of all the
batteries of a fort was concentrated
I upon them and they made reply to
the best of their powder-burning ca
pacity The loss Of life, however
was inconsiderable So far as heard
from no one was shot, although Hen
nv Gredel was half shot in two places
one of them being Highland park
I He had the honor today of applying
! for the first pension in the second
/ Spanish-American war. But the
] spaniards are notoriously bad marks
men and when they finally withdrew
within their submarine and ceased
firing Lieut.. Garner found his band
of heroes still intact They had en-
dured their baptism of fire ike vet
Grams and at daybreak volunteered
10 man the steamer Stephens and
20 and take the Spanish saip by
i force of arms
But the submarine was nowhere to
be found She had quietly drop
ped beneath the waves and was may
haps scudding back discounted to Old
CastiIe-where the soap comes from.
Tommy Adams has had diver
down all day searching for the Span
ish navy and he says he will spank
IT till 1t roars for mercy if he finds
it. He SAYS the water is SO low II
must have had to crawl on its hands
and knees up the bed Of the river
and he can't see how 1t can get away
from him now unless it had an awful
good start.
But there are others who do not
believe that Spain will submit 10 this
repulse The pride of the hidalgos
, has been aroused and they will not
be content until by armed force or
r otherwise they recover the casket
p containing the remains of TIE hero
r who gave a new world to the arms
h Of Spain
t Tonight's developments are await
L ed with bated breath, There will be
J. little sleep for the loved ones. For
men must fight while women, weep.
: So runs the world away.
