Correa, it is announced, has received an offi cial dispatch from Santiago de Cuba announcing that “the Americans’ first attack on Puen t i Berraco has been repulsed af ter a hard fought and bloody en gagement.” i f Punta Berraco is situated a sh >rt distance from Baiquiri, where the United States troops landed yesterday. It is nearer the coast and therefore more < ompietely under the guns of the \merican Meet, from which it can be judged that it is highly improbable that the army has b en repulsed, as announced in Madrid ) SAVED BY A DOG Inmatesofa Burning Building Roused by Brute’s Barking. New York, June 24 —Early this morningthe 15 occupants of dwelling No. 457 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, were roused by the barking of a Newfoundland dog, and they had barely time to es cape from the building before it was ablaze from top to bottom.
