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.

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.

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.

New York, June 7 —'A special from Cape Haytien describing the' bombardment of Satiuagp on ’Monday says the forts about the harbor were $ mass of ruins. ’Morro is a shapeless pile of rtjined ma sonry and dismantled guns, an.l the Es trella battery is utterly ruined.

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 fhp cases of houses lined or covered with V’ * COLORED CONVENTION.

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.
