Pounded by Americans.
('ape Haytien, June 7.—The fighting be
fore and in the vicinity of Santiago con
tinued the greater part of yesterday from
7:45 until 11 a. in.
Ten American warships rn.iml.Jned a
steady. Carefully directed fire against
Moro Castle and the batteries at Punta
(iord.i. Socopa and Cincoreales, in a Iditio.i
to boni'b,tiding Spanish fleet in tie harbor.
The p< tv <n t age of etfictive pro.je" i’es was
'•<ii Large. It appears from the best in
form it inn that Immense damage was in
flicted <>n the enemy.
Toe : -, .au ards admit that the bom'ofd
nunt from the Vmeriean fleet was most
lest i , a , .u| e. About 1,600 projectiles are
♦mid to has. been fired by the Xmer'can
warships and it ser-jns that the responsive
tire from the Spanish forts and ships wa.,
scarcely f<lt at all by the Americans.
■ Ttu- fort ifli a t lons at the haibor entrance
were riddled with solid shot and scat
tered by I lie explosion of the immense
ilblls fired by the American battleships.
Tin' Spanish batteries are understood lo
have In in virtually silen’ced and Morro
and the fortification* at Punta Gorda are
r< pot ted to imvo been demolished by the
three hours unlntrrupicd hammering of
the American licet. The Muericgji attack
is next said to have been especially di
rected at Amtdores, a small town a little
east <»f the entrance pf Santiago Bay.
The idea of the admiral il appear.- was
So I ind troops ami siege guns there ,;fter
reducing the J. leji.u s of the place and
1 hence make i close nsawif upon Santiago
which In view of the 'present condition of
(h<< fortifications may be expected to
yield very soon after the beginning of such
nn attack.
A heavy eannoading was opened on
.Aguadores about 7 yesterday. The latest
advices received here yesterday from
'Spanish sources do not indicate the dura
tion of the tight or whether the American
tr-mps ami siege guns actual}' landed at
Agu.vh.rres. but from information obtain
able it cannot be doubted that the net re
cults of Monday s fighting was extremely
disastrous to the Spanish defenses.
It is also understood hero that the Cu
ban troops maintained throughout the
■ greater part of yesterday an attack by
land on Santiago and Spanish reports say
the garrison lost heavily in killed and
wounded.
The military eomtuaoder at Santiago ac
knowledges the following killed Col.
Ordonez Sanchez. Lieut. Yrizar of artil
lery ami Perez and Garcia, both Spanish
officers whose rank ts not mentioned.
The Spaniards also admit the loss of 21
infantry soldiers severely wounded »pd
say one soldier was killed. It is believed
the losses of the Spanish are much more
heavy. In the naval force the Spanish of
ficer who was secottd in command of the
partly dismantled Reina Mercedes and
five sailors and an ensign were killed.
Th. Spanish sailors wounded it is asserted,
number 16.
Tiie loss, s on the American side the re
pot ts say are jjot known. The Spaniards
acknowledged a great deal of damage in
flicted on th.' Spanish cruiser Reina Mer
cedes and say that Morro Castle shows
great gaping breaches in the walls.
Later in the day it appears rhe landing
of American troops was effected near Dai- '
quiri. some distance east of Agudores ..nJ
near the railroad station in connection
with Santiago. Later an engagement took
place between the American force a col
umn of Spanish troops which had been
Kent against the landing party.
Accounts obtainable here being from
Spanish sources do not set forth the result
and therefore it is inferred the Americans
were victorious.
There is a report current at Cape Hay
tien that the first-class armed Spanish
cruiser Maria Teresa was sunk yesterday
by the fire of the American ships.

New York, June 7 —'A special from Cape
Haytien describing the' bombardment of

the harbor were $ mass of ruins.
’Morro is a shapeless pile of rtjined ma
sonry and dismantled guns, an.l the Es

Washington, June 7. —Theh cabinet
meeting today was riot a particularly Im
portant one.
As usual the whole naval ami military
operations were gone over, but nothing was
done looking to any change of policy or
plans.
It is almost certain that no troops have
been dispatched to Santiago, but it is the
intention to begin a heavy movement
eithr today or otmorrow.
It has been the intention of the military
authorities to have started the first ex
pedition a day or two ago, but the non
arrival of the equipment of large seige
guns which jt is proposed tp use in the
reduction pf Santjagp and the capture pf
Cervera’s fleet, necessitated a short post
ponement. •
Commenting on the reports of the mili
tary engagement near Santiago it is said
that after the cabinet meeting, if there
Mil l?een any collision it probably occcr
red between tne Spanish and a force of our
marines who may have been attempting to
land arms for the insurgents.
MINERAL wool
Is an Extraordinary Invention of Modern
Times.
One of the most extraordinary discover
ies of modern times is the means of con
certing the waste of iron ore from the
blast furi’an.e into a substance which from
its texture and qualities i)ag repeiyed the
name of mineral wool, says the Ilrookiyu
Citizen.
Without making any comparison be
tween its value and that of some other ma
terials, natural or manufactured, for com
mercial purposes, it is still interesting to
note the method of its production and
some of its properties, etc.
This can be described in brief. The slag
of the blast furnace which was aforetime
thrown away, or at best used to fill in be
tween cross ties, is converted into a fibrous
Kpu4-'T lon b y subjection to a blast of air
while it is utlfj in the melted state. This
operation enmeshes a quantity of air elev
en times its own bulk, and leaves it when
copl in condition whjeh giyes it the ap
pearance and spine pf the properties of
wool, though it cannot be burned as wpql
can, nor so far as is known, is there any
sort of moth that can eat it.
Its properties fit it for use as an Insu
lating material, and to fill in between
wooden walls and flooring of frame bouses
in place of the heavy paper generally used,
though, of course, it must cost considerably
more. But. we have not yet heard of any
modeof weaving the fibre into cloth, so that
we eou.q have an “all-waal” suit, warran
ted to keep out the cpld nf winter and the
heat of summer, as they say it wjj| 4<? in

SEVEN WHITE BODIES
Picked Up by Indians—Supposed to be Crew
of Jane Grey.
Victoria iB. C., June 7. IA special from
Alberni says the bodies of seven white
men, supposed to be victims of the Jane
Gray disaster, have been picked up on the
beach near the Kuyuquot reservation by
Indians. Also a sack of clothing with an
Italian name on it. Information comes
by the return of the steamer Wil’.api that

that the six who -were seen in the boat
when it left the schooner had been washed
over. The Indians also p’cked up a dory
belonging tp the Jane G> - ?y.

Although the charge in the Indictment

If Owens shall be convicted the state
must prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the papers in controversy are. forged,

CANDLER'S
GREAT RACE.
*
He Will Go to the Convention
With Something Like
260 Votes.
COOK IS m HMD
And Turner’s Majority is Very Large
—Gossip in Atlanta the Day
After the Race.
Atlanta, June 7 —'Allen D. Candler will
go to the state convention with something
like 250 votes, the biggest majority that
has ever been given to a candidate having
any opposition at all.
The contest between Stevens and Nes
bitt will result in the election of Stevens
by a somewhat small but a safe majority.
Cook will go in by an overwhelming
vote.
The state has .barely had time tp re
cover its breath from the whirlwind which
set in yesterday morning and carries with
it Allen D. Candler who swept the state
from the mountain to the sea.
In addition to being safe for the guber
natorial chair, Allen D. Candler turns out
to be a first-class’ prophet for he was so
eminently correct when he said that At
kinson would have to get affidavits to
prove that he was-in the race at all that
the people who know the “one eye plow
boy” think that prehaps he has been hid
ing from them all these years, the fact
that he was possessed of second sight.
The Atkinson men are terribly chagrined
over the result and the Atkinson head
quarters are deserted and lonely.
No one seems to know just where Spen
cer Atkinson is but he is probably at his
home in Brunswick.
Turner’s majority for prison commis
sioner is very large.
The exact figures have not been made
up as yet.
Stevens was given the hardest race of
all and even now it is hard to convince
Nesbitt men that their man is beaten.
.Everyone is talking of the wonderful
race made by Candler and are inclined to
smile as the recollection of some of the
things that have been said by both Atkin
son and Berner in the course of the eani
paigll.
There js a great rejoicing ail over the.
state at what is called defeat of the ring.
