<J',i the Editor of tho IIomk .Journal :
1 noticed an editorial in the col¬
umns of your paper some time since
in which you said there was consider¬
able demand for the Lincoln county
bonds, as recommended by the last
grand jury. Of course any one who
Jjas money to invest would do well to
invest tints, as our county is self
sustaining and lias about as good
financial record as any county in the
State, but we find that a great many
of onr citizens object to the bonds
being issued in denominations of live
hundred dollars. They argue that
we have but few men in our county
who have a surplus of $500, while
we have a great many with fifty or
one hundred dollars which they
couI t spare from their business and
would be glad to avail themselves of
this safe investment.

American Fleets Destroy Fortii ca¬

Oapp, Haytibk, June 7.—The

| Ten of the American warships
maintained a steady and carefully

and the batteries' at Punta Gorda,
Socapa and Oincoreales, in addition
to bombarding the Spanish fleet in
the harbor.
It appears, from t he best informa¬

station connecting with Santiago .de
Cuba, that immense damage was in¬

The S: uish batteries are under¬

The idea of the American
it appears, was to land troops and
seige guns there, after reducing the
defenses of the place, and thence make
a close assault- upon Santiago, which,
in vnav of the present, condition of
its fortifications, may be expected to
yield very soon after the beginning
of such an attack.
Heavy cannonading was midday opened

land forces: Colonel Ordonez, Cap¬

both Spanish,-officers, whose rank is
not: mentiqfied.
The Spaniards also admit the joss
of twenty-one infantry soldiers se
veryly wounded and say one soldier

But it is believed that, the losses of
Spaniards were much more heavy.
In the naval force the Spaniards
say that the officer who was second
in command of the partly dismantled
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes and
five sailors and an ensign were killed.
The Spanish sailors wounded, it is
asserted, number sixteen men.

east of Agnadores, and near the rail¬

between the American forces and a
column of Spanish troops, which had
been sent against the landing party.

Americans were victorious, and that
is the belief which prevails here. Cape
There is a report current at

yesterday by the tire of the American
ships.
It is said that only 500 American
troops were landed at Daiquiri, or
possibly at Agnadores, the two places
being received seemingly confused in the re¬

soldiers was so effective that the
Spaniards were compelled to flee

Patronize your home dealer if pos¬

ex| ense. Be sure the contract speci¬

the work”'fills the contract before

great excellence without skillful
