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.

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.

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. —Savannah Newe. * Bneklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST BALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Balt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

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. .
