CAIMANERA BOMBARDED.
* Will Burn the Town Rather Than
Leave It for Americans
' Washington, June 9,—Dispatches
> received here report that a great bat
i tie has taken place st Caimanera, in
tbs bay of Guanatanamo. At half
past 5 o’clock Tuesday morning five
ships of the American squadron open
ed a heavy bombardment of the forii
fications of the town.
There was a perfect hail of bombs in
the bay, striking end demolishing
many houses beyond the fortifications.
On the Spanish side the artillery re
plied vigorously, maintaining for some
time a stout resistance. The fire from
the warships, however, never slacken
ed for an instant. It was regular and
carefully directed and a great majority
of the shots proved effective. The
Spaniards were forced to abandon
their positions on tbe shore and retreat
to the town of Caimanera proper.
It is suppoied that later they fled
frum that pekitioa also with the in
habitants.
-
Information has reached here that
tbe Spanish at Santiago and Caima
nera are preparing foi a final desper
ate struggle, and are determined to re
sist the assaults of tbe Americans to
the last extremity.
The commander of the district is
sued orders Tuesday to burn Caima
nera befoie yielding it into tbe hands
of the Americans. The latter forced,
tbe entrance of the bay of Guantanamo
and according Io the latest advices
from Oaimanrra it was feared that tbe
Amerioaqe would make an effort to
land forces there Wednesday after
noon.
Measures to prevent this, if possible,
have been taken by tbe Spaniards.
Tbe American fleet was still main
taining its position.

Important to Mothers-
The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated by
reason of pirates counterfeiting the Casto
ria trade-mark. This counterfeiting is a
crime not only against the proprietors of
Castoria, but against the growing genera
tion. All persons should be careful to see
that Castoria bean the signature of Uhas.
H. Fletcher, if they would guard the
health of their children. Parents and
mothers, in particular, ought to carefully
examine the Castoria advertisements
which have been appearing iu this paper,
and to remember that the wrapper ot
every bottle of genuine Castoria bears the
sac-simile signature of Chas. H. Fletcher,
under whose supervision it has been man
ufactured continuously for over thirty
years.—Phila. Bulletin.

ALL THE CABLES CUT.
• "■■ ■ ■ ll
Cuba Now Cut Off from Communica
tion With Outride World.
Washington, Jun* 9.—Bear Ad
miral Sampson on last Tuesday cot
the last cable connecting Cuba with
tbe outside world. Monday tbe Kings
ton Santiago cable was cut, and
Tuesday the Haytien cable, running
into Guantanamo bay, was cut and
the ends buoyed, thus enabling Samp
son to establish direct communioation
with this city.
Tbe Marblehead is said to bavs en
gaged and drove a Spanish gunboat
into Guantanamo harbor and reduced
the fortifications. The insurgents co
operated on the land side and the
place Is being held until the arrival of
troops.
Tbe president expressed himself to
friends this morning that be expected
good news shortly from SentUgor, He
did not go into details, but it isheliev
ed be referred probably to tbe opinfon
generally accepted at tbe navy depart
ment that Sampson and Schley will
not wait for the transport* to arrive
before besieging Santiago, and that b>
the tithe Shafter reaches there h< will
find the American flag floating over
the city. «
Geo Shafter will only stop long
enough to garrison Santiago, and act
ing under orders from the president,
will rush on to San Juan.
A small blockading fleet will be lelt
in front of the harbor and the main
wing of the two squadrons will pro
ceed to follow up the victory at San
tiago with an attack upon Porto Rico.
Grosvenor’s Estimate-
In-a letter, dated April 23, which
has just been made public, Gen. Gros
venor, who is regarded as tbe mouth
piece of lbs President in the House,
says that a low estimate of the cost of
tbe war is $2,000,000,000. In the
course of bis letter, which is addressed
to one of tbe largo wholesale grocery
houtes of Ohio, Mr. Grosvenor say*:
"So far we have heard vociferous
clamor for immediate war, and the
President has been rushed by politics*
agitation into war when in the judg
ment of very many men diplomacy
would have settled the whole matter.
No protest camo from the country
against the ’yellow’ newspaper litera
ture and the howling of the dema
gogues and tbe self-seeking politicians.
Bat tho moment that taxation stared
tbe people io the face and we began to
look about us for indispensable rove
nue, wo have protests from every in
terest that we sought to attach. They
are all patriotic and desire tbe revenue
to be raised, but they all desire that it
should be raised off somebody other
than themselves.”
Here wo havo.it from one of the
president’s closest friends that he was
against the war, and believed tint our
differences with Spain could bo settled
by diplomacy. This statement, how
ever, is not new. It was known at ths
time that was declared that the presi
dent was against tho coarse taken by
congress, and that he used his influx
enco to prevent war. All that, how
ever, is ancisnt history, together with
tbe assertion that even those who fa
vored war object to being taxed to car
ry it on. We are all willing that
somebody else shall be taxed for war
purposes.
But what is really new iu Mr. Gros
venor’s letter io tbe estimate he makes
of tbe probable cost of the war. That
estimate, it is reasonable to suppose,
has tbe approval of the President.
In the House tho other day tbe
chairman of the committee oa appro
priation* (aid that the war,if it should
continue a year, would cost at least
$600,000,000. In administration cir
oles therefore, the end of the war is
not looked for inside of three years,
and is not expected to cost much less
then $2,000,000,000. That would be a
burden that would be felt for a couple
of xeneratioo*. However,it is no time
now to draw dismal pictures ot tbe
coat or length of the war. Tbe thing
to do ia to proeecute tbe war vigorous
ly, with the purpoee of bringing it to
a successful end as quickly at possible.

A Loaded D-c*
That Ohio dog who swallowed five sticks
of dynamite and was immediately after
ward given the freedom of the town is still
lording it over his native heath, so to
speak. That he is a happy dog there can
be no doubt. It isn’t given tp the canine
mind to distinguish between high and tow
explosives, and a dog who is loaded to tibe
teim with the most deadly combustibles
may sttH.be recklessly happy. Cseteinly
this dog had no notion of crossing thdfityx.
Any dog should be happy who can freely
wgi’l - into the finest dining room in town
aa*d find the family rapidly though re--
gpeitfully withdrawing before him, leav
iqg him to enjoy the good things of the
Os course the denouement of the dog
taagedy is anxiously awaited by the nerv
ous townspeople. Periiaps they are in
hopes that some wandering tramp will
kick the dog in fatal ignorance of the fast
that he is loaded. In tne meantime, while
they are breathlessly waiting for the cli
max, they want it generally understood
that they have a dog on hand that they
would be glad to give away to some person
who will treat him kindly. . He is a nice
dog, and there is a good deal more in him |
than many people would imagine. He ia
a dog that can'thelp but rise in theworid.
He is a dog from whom at any time you
may expect to hear a good report!—Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
