tho Amerioan troops bold the outer
trenolies of Bantiauo and befor. an
other sun nut. the Stars and Htripes
will wave over th. oily. 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. St.

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.

The wounds sustained by marines at :

noted that the dead were terribly man

first it was thought that tho Spaniards
had used "soft" cartridges, which "set '

of the kind of damage it does.

its gyrations grow fewer, its flight i

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.

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
