The Invaders attaoked tho enemy In fore, and tw lore the day closed bad driven the Hi anlardu Into the city. The 8ghtlng lasted from 8 o'clock In the morning lilt dark. The American m w about 400 killed and wounded. The loss to the enemy, while unknown must have beau very heavy. The Spaniards fought with deter mination, but stop by step were driven back from their utr.ug position, and as night full the American sontlneis were at th. sates of the oil v. The battle will be resumed In the morning and no one doubts what the result will be. Qeantral b'hafler is pleased with the prof ran Bad. The attack on Santiago was made in three divlaona. General Wheeler and General Law ton commenced the as sault on Crauey, locaUrd on the north east of Santiago, while a second divis ion, commanded by General Kent, attacked Aguadoros. At the same time General Garcia, with a force of Cubans, advanced on Crauey from the southeast, forming a junction with the BRIO. QEN. HBNRT W. UI.WTON. American dlvleion approaching from the east. At the signal to advance the troops dashed forward in a concerted move ment from the north, east and south. The fighting was of the fiercest de scription. Nothing daunted by. the withering fire from the Spanish lines tho boys in blue kept hammering away with confidence that they must event ually sweep the enemy from tholr (po sitions. Iu fighting between Agund ores and Pevllln the Twenty-third regulars lost four men, while 16 were wounded. Tiie land attack was supported by a heavy fire Irom ;Fampson'n fleet, which was responded to in au Ineffective innuuor by Crvera's ships. The Am erican shells completely reduced the batteries at Aguadores. Immediately after General Shafter had issued the orders that started the artillery fire General Wheeler, at the head of his cavalry, and General Gar cia, loading the Cuban troops, moved forward to join General Ltnvton's men in tho advanco on the village of Coney. The battle of Santiago was begun by two batteries of light artlllory, which opened flro on Canoy. There 1b a road leading from Canoy to Santiago which is of the highest strategic importance Once the American troops gain posses sion of thU highway thuir advanco will bo something that cannot long be stayed by nny resistance, ,no matter how desperate. The Spaniards made a desperate ef fort to hold their ground. They fought with tho greatest stubbornness and poured a deadly flro into the ever-advancing ranks of Americans and Cu bans. But step by step Linares' sol diers were forced to retreat. For only a short timu after the Americans col umns ntarlud forwnrd did the Snaninh hold I heir position. Then began tholr movement toward the rear that did not cense until they had taken refuge Vi the village. I General Shafter had taken an ncau- ruto measure of the strength of the ouomy during the first hour of tho bat tle and wan confidont thnt his forces could drive tho Spaniards into Santi ago at his pleasure. So eager were the Americana to get at the enemy that It was with illtOcnlty the commanding "dicers of tho di Ber eft toompanlrjatMlnOUl m.njitt- NO. 2?, III the timo arrived for the bo'-luuliiir of the final ongagem.nt. The boys In blue wore filled with patriotic eatliusi s.m, and th.lr spirit soon spread to their Cuban allies. Alt shared the opinion of General Shafter, that Santi ago could b. caplur.d by a bold and relentless attack, and were eager to advance. The cuter of the general liuo of at tack, commanded by Brigadier-General K.nt .ad oompod of th. Tw.mty flrel rs gin rat of regulara, was ordered toward Aquadore at the' son. tun. General Lawtoa's command was di rected to advance toward Caney. 7he troops wer. engaged in the hardest fighting that occurred to the loutbuast of Santiago during the early hours of the battle. The fight about Aquador.s was most desperate. The Spanish, under General Lin area, re turned the American fire with a furv that aroused th. determination of the Americans. Our troops did not flinch before th. Spanish fire. They held every inch of ground gain.d and wh.r.ver they saw a chance to gain a f.w yards th.y promptly took advantage of it. About Aguadores our force, were aa llsted by Admiral Sampson's ships, which poured a galling fire Into the Spanish lines. The New York, Suwanee and Gloucester attacked the batteries which were recently thrown up to the east of Morro Castle. The ships ran In close and the fire was so destructive that soon they bad dismounted all the guns and actually wiped out all the batteries. Then' the New York and Massachu setts began plunging fire from their great guns. Shell, were fired at a high elevation, but the most doadly work was done with ordinary shell. These swept the intrenchment. and drove out the Spaniards. A Lak. Tho Merer Olvas Up Its Dead. . "The Gnat. Lakes" is the subject of an article In St Nioholas. : The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Snperlor: Another very interesting and very and thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters .terrible disaster happily infrequent in the tourist season and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyngenrs in their trim biroh bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present tnomont those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishiug smacks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroio efforts with drag net or by the diver. Once on a trip down the lakes I met a clergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soo, pointed ont the place .where the ill fated Algonia went down on the reef some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: ' 'I was at the funeral of on. man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom to day witb the other 88 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of tl-e vessel and oonld not sink." Vacant Chair For th. Volunteer Claaamat. The class day exercises of the senior class of the Cleveland High school were held the other night in the Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Evangelical church before an audience of the relatives and friends of the members of the oluss that filled every seat iu tlio auditorium of the church. In the middle of the upper tier of seats on the rostrum was ouc vacant ohair draped with a silken flag. The members of the olass had chosen that method of showing their love and regard for the one member of the oluss, Joseph Alfred Lysonder, who could not be present as he had tendered his services to his country as a member of the navy and had been accepted.

Of course she thought she knew what ho would reply, and he knew that she thought she knew it, says the Chicago f ost Consequently he deoided to tease er. "Daisy," he replied. Daisy was her sister. She thought it all over, and then she olimbed op in his lap. "Papa, " ohe said, "I wish yon would ask me If I love yon or mamma best. " "Very well," he returned. "Do you love mamma or me best?" Revenge 1b sweet, but even so a ten der hearted bit of humanity does not like to be too bnrsb. ' , "You won't feel very, vefry bad if 1 tell you, will you?" she whispered.

The talk of the naval officers today 1. of the performance, of the Vesuvius' with her dynamite guns. ,, "No man escaped with his life who woe within 300 yard, of where one of those charges fell, "said Admiral Joaett, "and men far beyond the rsmre of im-' mediate injury were left mentally help lens and useless by the shook. " The moral effect of these terrlfio die- charge, ho. been very great, the naval officers say. The shock is snoh as is oer- . tain to demoralize all soldiers within It farreacbing influence. When Brazil had, an insurrection on hand a few year ago, an admiral came to the United'' State, and saw the operation of the ex-: peri mental dynamite guns. lie took , back an outfit The naval leader of the revolution heard of the government' intention to shoot dynamite. He sur rendered, saying be was prepared tor take his chances with powder and shot j and shell, but he wsa not going into battle against a dynamite cruiser. Those " naval experts who have been waiting to see some of the new things tried nava rather wondered why the dynamite - tubes were not given a trial. Today, they are satisfied. The Vesuvius baa made her ineffaceable and distinctive) 1 mark on the defenses of Santiago.; Tha I prediction is ventured that she will be put to frequent use and that the Span lards will rapidly acquire a dread of her beyond any feeling of fear they have for battleship, or cruisers. There is a paralyzing, numbing effect to these ', discharges of high explosive, which, does not attend the ordinary sheU. St. Louis Globe-Democrat MAUSER BULLET WOUNDS. Their rrlchtfal Exploelve EnVe Whoa , Strlkln at Short Baage. The wounds sustained by marines at : Gnantanomo bay were terrible. in effect , and appearance. In the very first ao counte of the skirmishes there it wo ' noted that the dead were terribly man gled. This was dne to the efficacy of the Manser bullet at short range. Tha ' wounds were saucerlike affairs, and at , first it was thought that tho Spaniards had used "soft" cartridges, which "set ' up" or spread like a mushroom upon Im pact, but tho fuot that tho Mauser rifl- was the regulation email arm of tl- Spanish infantry led to on examination of the kind of damage it does. At short range the Manser bullet, be cause of its wonderfully rapid rwist. tears a largo hole. At a greater distant . its gyrations grow fewer, its flight i steadier and it makes a slitting wound like a saber thrust. At the greatest ef-. fective range the Manser bores like an auger, leaving only a small incised wound and completely penetrating bone, sinew, tendon or flesh opposed to it. New York World. HOBSON'S CONCENTRATION. - HI. Mind Set ob a Thin, an Karthqoaka Would Hot Stir Htm. . A young woman who knows Lieuten ant Hobson tells me that he has the power of concentration more highly de veloped than anybody else she ever knew. She used to live at a Washing ton family hotel, and he staid there for awhile. He was studying German, , and tho German lessons were given in . a little alcove just off the corridor. where the guests ot the house used to ' congregate. It was an extremely noisy place. One evening somebody was playing- on the piano in the corridor, and other somebodies were dancing and langhing ' and talking till : tne din fairly set tha German teacher wild. "It is impossible for me to go on with the lesson in all this noise," said he. Mr. Hobson looked up from the book he had been reading. "Why, what noise?" ho asked. Washington Post. Cramp In the Lee. Many persons ot both sexes are great ly troubled with cramp in one or both of their legs. It comes on suddenly and ia very severe. Most people jump out of bed (it nearly always comes on either just after going to bed or while undress ing) and ask some one to rub the leg. There is nothing easier than to maks the spasm let go its hold, and it oan be accomplished without sending for a doc tor, who may be tired and in need ot a good night's rest. Whon I have a pa tient who is subjeot to cramp, I always advise mm to proviue nimseu mm a good strong cord. A long garter will do ; if nothing else is bandy. When th ' cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it around the leg over the place that in cramped and take an end in each baud and give! it a thorp pull one that will hurt a little. Instantly the cramp will depart, and the sufferer oan go to bed. assured it will not oome on again thak night I have saved myself many a good night's rest simply by posting my pa tients subjeot to spasms of tho legs how to use the oord as above. I have never inowh it to fail, and I have tried it at ti er they hod worked half the night and th. patient was in th. most intoa agony. New York Sjnian. .'
