There is a coincidence in a prolonged
drought and in an increased mortality
mong the negroes in Charleston, S.
C, as also a connection between the
two. The News and Courier, of that
sity, says there has been little rain in
that section for 40 days or more, with
the result that many of the water cis
tern j are empty. The colored people
in the city depend largely for their
water supply on water oanght in bar
rels from the roofs of their houses.
This is vile water under the best con
ditions, daily becoming worse when the
apply is not renewed. With the fail
are of this the negroes, having no
knowledge of hygiene, resort to the sur
face wells, which, if not worse, are as
bad as the depleted oisterns. As a re
mit the health officer's report of the
number of deaths among the negroes
for the week ended on Saturday last
was 25, the deaths among the better
situated whites for the same period be
ing only two. An effort to remedy the
oonditions is being made in the estab
lishment of artesian drinikng foun
tains. Where these hav) been placed
sickness and death rate have been great
ly reduced, and the News and Courier
calls for their general introduction in
the negro quarter.

Stop! Women,
And consider that In addressing' Mrs.
Pinkham you are confiding your private
ills to a woman a woman whose ex
perience in treating. Woman's diseases
is greater than that o any living phy
sician, malo or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolting to relate your privato

MBS. PIKKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her privato illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous oiler of assistance.

Port An Prince, Hayti, May 14.
The Americfan fleet under Kear-Ad-miral
Sampsou, bombarded San Juan
de Porto Rico today.
The bombardment began this morn
ing. Rear-Admiral Sampson, with
nine warships, arrived before San
Juan just before sunrise. At a signal,
the battle-ship Iowa fired the first
shot, which took effect. The battle
ship Indiana then opened fire. In a
few minutes more, Morro fortress was
reduced to a heap of ruins. The fort
made little effort to respond and was
silenced almost instantly.
The Spanish steamer Rita was cap
tured by the auxiliary cruiser Yale,

which took her crew on board.
Morro fired but three shots from her
heavy guns. There were but seven
shots fired from the big guns of the
American squadron. These left Morro
castle a crumbling ruin. Hei guns
were mute and her gunners killed or in
flight.
Then began the attack on the land
batteries and fortifications about the
government buildings and the palace.
Here the cruisers did effective service
and soon the postofflce and palace of
the governor were tumbled about the
eais of the officials, the guns dismount

served their gnns as long as there was
any hope, but their fire was slow and

Spanish War Vessels Sighted Off Nan
tucket Shoal.
New York. May 14. The British
steamer Menantio, which arrived yes
terday, reports that two torpedo-boats
were passed near Nantucket shouts yes
terday. Captain Mann said:
"At about 1 o'olock on the morning
of May 11, in latitude 40:50, longitude
68, a long, low-lying craft was seen ap
proaching under the shadows of the
Menantic's smoke. It came along rap
idly and was seen to be a torpodo-boat.
It flashed a light on us and crossed
under onr stern, going to the east, and
fired a rocket, whioh was answored by
dot-and-dash flashes. The night was
too dark to distinguish anything of the
nationality of the stranger.
"At daylight, about 20 miles east of
Nantucket south shoal lightship, an
other torpedo-boat was seen in the line
of the sun which daizled the water too
much to make her out plainly. She
was of the destroyer class, and a very
large boat with a large funnel. Guns
wore mounted on the bow. She ap
peared to be one of the recent English
type of torpedo-boat destroyers, and I
am sure there is no vessol of her olass
in the American navy. The Menantio
ran close to the lightship on Nantucket
and reported to the presence of the
torpedo-boats."

T0RFED0 BOAT DAMAGED
Gunhoats Wilmington and Hmlson Were
In the Fight but Wore I'nlnjured-
Deail and Wounded Taken to Key
West Cuused by Cariilvsanoas.
Key West, May 14. America's first
dead fell yesterday in a fierce and
bloody combat off Cardenas, on the
north coast of Cuba. Fivo men were
blown to pieces and five were wounded
on the torpedo-boat Winslow. Tho
dead are:
Worth Bagley, ensign.
John Varveres, oiler.
John Donfy, first-class flroraan.
G. B. Meek, first-class fireman.
E. II. B. Tunnell (colored), cabin
cook.
Four were wounded.
The battle lasted 85 minutes. It
was between the torpedo-boat Winslow,
the auxiliary tug Hudson and the gun
boat Wilmington on one side, and the
Cardenas batteries and four Spanish
gunboats on the other.
The WinBlow was the main target of
the enemy, and was put out of servioe.
The other Ameioan vessels were not
damaged, except that the Hudson's two
ventilators were slightly scratohod by
flying shot. The enemy's loss is largo
ly conjectural. One of their gunboats
caught fire and the men of the Hudson
think it sank. The fire spread to the
barracks and swept away several small
warehouses, and for a time the whole
waterfront seemed to be ablaze.
The Winslow was within 1,500 yards
of shore when the shells struok her.
How she came to bo so close was told
by her commander, Lieutenant John B.
Bernadou. He said: ...
"We wore making obsemtioMwfeKj
,ri?ifc rf sum'1
ini in under lull
is the result."
He was on the Hudson whon he said
this and with the final words he point
ed to a huddle of American flags on the
deck nearby. Under the Stars and
Stripes were outlined five rigid forms.
The land batteries of Cardenas sup
ported the fire of th'i Spanish gunboats.
The engagement commenced at 2:05 P.
M., and lasted for about an hour. The
Wilmington and Hudson wore ahead,
and opened fire on the Spanish boats,
whioh were lying at the dock. The
firing began at a range of 8,500 yards.
A few minutes later, the Winslow
came up and also opened fire. In an
instant, the entire attention of the
Spanish gunboats and land batteries
was directed upon her. From all sides,
shot and shell poured In on the little
torpedo-boat. The Wilmington - and
Hudson still kept -up their fire. The
crew of the Winslow never faltered for
a second. At 2:33, a solid shot crashed
into the hull of the Winslow and
knocked out her boilor. In a moment,
she began to roll and rock helplessly.
Then thero was a moment of awful
suspense. A fierco cheer of triumph
went up from the Spanish on the gun
boats and in the batteries.
The storm of fire was continned upon
the helpless boat. The gunboat Hud
son, lying near by, started to the as
sistance of the Winslow. After about
20 minutes, the Hudson approached
near enough to throw a line. Ensign
Bagley and six men were Btanding in a
group on the deck of the Winslow
ready to catch a rope. A line was
thrown, and at about the same instant
a shell burst in the very midst of the
group of men on board the Winslow.
Bagley was instantly killed and a few
others dropped about him. Half a
dozen more men fell groaning on the
blood stained deck. One of the men
plunged headlong over the sido of the
boat, but his feet oanght in an iron
rail, and he was hauled back. Bagley's
body was stretched on deck, with his
face completely torn away, and the
upper part of his body shattered.
When the shell burst, another wild
shout of triumph went up from the
Spanish boats and batterios, and again
a heavy fire was opened on the torpedo
boat. Finally, the Hudson succeeded in
getting a line on board the Winslow,
and was towing her out of the deadly
range when the line parted and again
both boats were at the mercy of the
Spanish fire.
At 8:05 P. M., the Hudson managed
to get another line on the deck of the
Winslow, and the damaged torpedo-
boat was towed to Pedras island, where
her dead and wounded were removed.
At 9:110 yoBterday evening, the Hud
son, with the dead bodies and some of
the wounded started for Key West.
Key West, May 14. A dispatch boat
which arrived here today brought in
telligence of an engagement between
Spanish troops and insurgonts in Ha
vana province, in which Colonel Juan
Delgado, the insurgent loader, and four
men were killed, and the Spanish lost
21. No further details are known.
OREGON'S SUGAft INDUSTRY.
The Trans-Mississippi Fair Will Un
doubtedly Give It rt Impetus.
A proposition on foot at the Omaha
irans-jujssissippi lulr this summer
which is of vital interest to Oregon
farmers, is the manufactme of sugar,
illustrated by a plant In operation on
the ground. The complete process, it
is said, will bo Illustrated and all
grades of the staplo artlolo will be
made in plain sight of spectators.
In connection with tills project, ao
tivo interest has been manifoBtod by
ino uregon commissioners. Special
representatives of the commission have
visited the Grande Konde va'loy and
the Willamette valley, and have ac
quainted those Interested with the plan
for showing the progress made in late
yours at utilizing the most ploblan
looking plant known to the agricul
turist In a general way it is stated the sub
ject of sugar boot growing will be treat
ed from the timo the seed is planted
until the orop is matured and will be
practically exemplified.
Arrangements have beon mado to
demonstrate at the fair that Oregon's
wondofully fertile soil la especially
adaptod to the growing of the beet,
and that If capital In tho middle west
ern Btutea Is seeking an outlet In this
promising industry, Oregon offers the
befit advantages and every induoeuiont
to come here. It will be the purposo
of thoso in charge of Oregon's exhibit
to explain what lias boon done for the
industry at La Grande and to show
that Willamotto farmers will do the
same for a factory hore.
The agricultural college faculty,
which has enlisted its support in a
gratifying way, will arrango oomplete
exlilblt of Oregon soils with scientific
analysis. This will bo displayed In the
horticultural building at Omaha and
all queries relating to soil and crops
will be answered In a most oomplete
and satisfactory manner. Whatever
shall bo accomplished for Oregon at tho
Trans-MissiBsijipl fair will be praotical,
as the commissioners have had that
end in view in all they have under
taken to do.
R. D. Inman, of Portland, who Is
largely interested In working for the
success of the Oregon display, says that
he Is satisfied that the Omaha exposi
tion is to be a great success and that
Oregon will reap benoUcial results in
greater proportion from the faot that
the exposition city lies In the path of
thousands bound westward after gold
or a home this season. It is nearor
home and tho attendance at the fair
will be drawn from all the trans-Mis
sissippi states and the East. If the
Paoitio coast states want more people
to settle in their borders, additional
capital and fresh industries, Mr. Inman
most heaitily believes this is the time
to let the world hear from us. Too
much cannot be done for immigration,
tor upon future immigration donends
Oregon's advancement.
The General Exhibit.
The suoocs of the Oregon display at
tho Columbian Fair at Chicago will be
repeated on a far more comprehensive
soule at the Trans-Mississippi Exposi
tion, which opens in June. Tho state
commissioners appointed by Govornor
Lord, liaving in charge the work oil
preparation have gone aotively to work
and not a day has been .lost. l'indl

From tho time the subioct was first
broaohed tho proposed Oregon exhibit
at the fair has met with popular favor.
The advantages to bo derived from the
advertising which every soction of the
state will receive thore this year, seem
to be clearly realized. The advan
tages, It is believed, will be greater in
proportion than came from the Colum
bian fair, although in that world's con
gress of wonderful sights Oregon did
appear as quite a factor. The salmon
fisheries of the Columbia, the wool
growing industries, the mines and
stock of Eastern and Southern Oregon,
the fruits from Hood river and the
fortilo Willumotte valley, and tho
varied other resources of this state will
be represented.
An exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi
exposition which will be noted with
the deepest interest by the entire medi
cal fraternity will he the baby incuba
tor, and the progress of the poor, puny,
little lives that will inhabit it will be
watcliod by thousands of eyes. The
Invention is designed to assist naturo
In preserving the lives of nowly borrj
babes who are too frail to battle for ex
istence, and the records show that
since 1801, when it was first intro
duced, it has saved several thousand
human oreatures by forcing pure ozone
into their lungs, providing an even
temperature for their sensitive little
bodios, and protecting them against
the thousand and one dangers to which
these tiny newcomers in this world are
exposed.
. Australian Coal for Japan.
The price of coal In Japan has risen
very greatly of late, far beyond any
expectation. Australia has been ship
ping coal to Japan and owing to the
high price of the commodity has found
tho venture a paying one, notwith
standing the proximity of the Chinese
coal fields. A slight fall in prices,
however, will stop the Australian im
ports. Harrow of Giraffes' Bones.
