Interesting Details of Admiral Sampson’s Attack on the Capital of Porto Rico. HE BATTERIES WERE NOT SILENCED. Yk« Town Said to Ban Suffered Greatly from the Fire of Oar Fleet-Two American* Killed nod Seven Injured -Narrow Escape of Admiral Sampson and •‘Fighting Bob Evans.'* Ox Board the Flagship Iowa, Oft Bax Ji'ax de Porto Rico. May 12, via bt. Thomas. Danish West Indies. May 14.—The forts of San Juan de Porto Rico were bombarded by part of RearAdmiral Sampson's fleet yesterday morning-. The enemy's loss is believed to be heavy. The American loss is two men killed and seven men injured. After three hours’ firiugtlie admiral withdrew the fleet and headed for Key West. He said: “I am satisfied with the morning's work. 1 could have taken San Juan, but I have no force to hold it- 1. only wanted to administer punishment1 his has been done. I came f<^r the Spanish fleet, and not for San Juan."

The men killed were: Seaman Frank Hi demark, of the New York. Liunncrsmute -, of the Amphitrite. The latter died from the extreme heat. Of the injured men three were on board the Iowa and four on board the New York. The names of those slightly injured on the Iowa are: Seaman Mitchell. { Private Murine Merkle. Apprentice IIill. The injured on the New York are: Seaman Samuel Feltman, seriously. , Seaman Michael Murphy. Two other enlisted men were slight- j fy injured. All the above-named were inju.eu by the bursting of a shell on the New Y ork. This is a Complete list of the killed j and wounded. The American ships were uninjured. The engagement begun at 5:15 a. m. aud ended at >:15 a. m. )'lu* enemy * j batteries were not silenced. The town j in the rear of the fortifications proba- ; bly suffered. The ships taking part in the action wore the Iowa. Indiana. New York, j Terror. Amphitrite. Detroit. Montgoiu- | cry. Wampatuck and Porter. Theene- j ttijrs tiring was heavy but wild, and ! the Iow a and New York were probably the only ships hit. They went right up under the guns in column, deliver-: iug broadsides and then returned. The line passed thrice.in front of th« i forts, pouriug tous of steel on shore. j It is impossible to judge the amount ! of damage done to the buildings and j forts. They appeared to be riddled , with shot; but the. Spaniards were plucky. ^ The after turret of the Amphitrite got out of order temporarily during i the engagement, but she bauged away with her forward guns. After the 1 first passage before the forts the Detroit aud Montgomery retired, their guns being to small to do much dam- j «gc.! - |

The Porter and Wampatuck also ] stayed out of range. The smoke hung over everything spoiling the aim of the gunners and making it impossible ! to tell where our shots struck. The ! odicers and tueu of all the ships be- i havod with coolness and bravery. -The shots flew thick and fast over all our ships. The men of the Iowa who were hurt daring the actiou were injured by splinters thrown by an $-iueh shell which came through a boat into the superstructure and scattered fragments in all directions. The shot's course -was finally ended on au iron plate an inch thick. Merkle [\Jurtel] was struck in the arm and may lose it. All were hurt by splinters, and a tire was started in the boat, but was quickly extinguished. Morro battery, on the eastward arm of the harbor, was the principal point of attack. Rear Admiral Sampson and Capt. Evans were on the lower bridge of the Iowa and had a narrow escape from flying splinters, which injured three men. The Iowa was hit eight times, but the shells made no impression on her artflbr. The weather was fine, but the heavy swells made accurate aim difficult. WUI be Allowed to Remain for Repairs.

A Strange t raft Hovering Off Cape Race and Tr«*p**,ry Baj. St. Johns. N. P , May 1*.—The telegraph operators at Cape Race and l'repassev bay report that a strange steamer, apparently a war ship, has been hovering off the south coast of this island all day. She first became visible about ten oelock ye-terday morning and remained in sight unlit live this afternoon, about ten mites off nod cruising slowly. The stranger had two masts aud two funnels, but showed no flag. Arrangements have been made for a Trepassey fishing boat to aseur tain the national it v of the steamer.

WELL MODIFY THEIR PEAKS. ClWt of the Appearance of the Speulrt Hytac Squadron In Ee*t Indha Waters. Washixgtox. May 14.—A complete change has taken place in the offensive plans of our government. The receipt of the news from Sampson of his attack on the forts at San Juan and the news of the actual presence of the Spanish flying squadron 0 Martinique, only 500 miles away from Sampson anc less than 1,000 miles from Havana, caused the dispatch of the flying squadron under Commodore Schley and the delay of the army of invasion of Cuba. It is to the navy that the government again looks for a battle that may end the conflict The news of the Spanish fleet revealed at once the possibility of a quick move on the part of the Spanish fleet that would cut the line of communication by water between Cuba and Key West, exposing to great peril any American landing force that might be caught between a superior Spanish army in Cuba and the sea patrolled by Spanish cruisers. It became necessary, therefore, to defer the departure of the military expedition from Florida until the Spanish fleet is met and crushed or driven froa West Indian waters. Orders flew quick and fast from both the war and navy departments. Tht first checked the movement on Florida settiug in from all parts of the country, aud diverted the troops toward the concentration camp at Chiekamauga. The navy department wired Samp

sou information of tin* approaen of tne Spanish ‘fleet and directions what to do, and auother order flashed to Schley, who has been eating1 out his heart at Hamptoc roads in* his eagerness to get iuto the fray, to start with his vessels at the earliest possible moment. The commodore took no chance of a cancel* lation of these highly, desirable orders, but at o'clock had put himself beyond the reach of any telegraphic recall. What is expected of him cannot be disclosed at the*navv department, and naturally is purely a matter of conjecture. Sampson's fleet is strong enough. unaided. to overcome the Spanish flying squadron if he cau ever Catch it out of the reach of fort ideations. His fleet, however, is lacking in speed as compared to the Spanish vessels, and co-operation on the part of our flying squadron would add very much to the chance of cornering the Spaniards and forcing the tight, which is believed to b& necessary to the success of the Cuban campaign. Some one suggested at the navv department that the Spanish fleet when last heard from was at a poiut not very much more distant from the great cities of the Atlantic seaports than from Havana, but if the Spanish admiral contemplates movement m the former direction he probably will run full iuto Schley. Much regret is expressed among naval officers at the delays experienced in communicating with Sampson, and it is not learned yet at the navy, department whether the admiral has actually received up to this moment the important advices as to the‘movements of the Spaulsh fleet that have been dispatched to him. Doubt on this score is founded on the experience the department has had already with the cables received yesterday from the West Indies. ,X was stated positively at the close of oflice hours that no word had come during the day from Admiral Sampson; save the one telegram sent out yesterday morning regarding the attack on the forts at San Juan. It can be stated that there is good ground for the belief that the admiral has achieved alii that was expected of him or that was necessary to carry out the plans of the strategy board. The purpose was to destroy San Juan as -a fortified base that might form a harbor of refuge ft>r

|iiV r'MUUiSU \ . , UUU UV. Wl UUiJi LV vuc uv miral's report this has been praeti -ally accomplished. It was neither necessary nor material that SauJuan itself be occupied, all that was essential beiog that the Spanish licet should Hud no more protection there than it would in any harbor without substantial defenses, and if the Spahish squadron should have the temerity now to enter Sah Juau harbor, they will fall easy victims to Sampson's battleships and monitors. Capt. O'Neil, chief of the bureau of ordnance, was with Secretary Long several times during the day, giving him information as to the amount of ammunition Admiral Sampson has on board. It is the opinion of the bureau officials that the bombardmeut of San Juan did not materially deplete Sampson's stock of powder, shot and shell. There is no doubt. however, that it made considerable inroad upon it, as it is said that a continuous dire for three hours that the ships wars in action would have completely exhausted the entire stock. There Is nc possibility, however, of such a continuous tire, and the official* feel satisfied that Sampson hat at least half of his ammunition and perhaps more still on board. Every ship in his fleet was stocked to it* fullest capacity with powder, shot and shell. The division which shelled Sac Juau had 00 rounds of the large siac projectiles for the 12 and 11-inch guns, and about KM rounds for the 5 and flinch guns. 4.u*&tn*s Cargo Not Lauded. Key Wkst.

SHORTER CORN STALKS. Siftrliow Growth Which Entails a Very Heavy Lon to Farmers Every Slagle Seasoa. In growing farm crops the past 3l fears if we could have saved what we have lost directly or indirectly from the superfluous growth of stalk we could easily add several acres to the farm. It took us a good while to discover this. Many people have not even thought of It. * A stalk of corn eight feet high cannot support the ear as easily as one six feet high. Some think that the biggest stalk will bear the biggest ear. No doubt this is true now and then, but it holds true about as often as the biggest cow gives the most milk. The tall stalks nrc more liable to be blown down than the shorter ones. One year we tested four varieties side by side. The tallest variety was So badly tangled at cutting time that it required twice as much time to put it in the shock as fo* the others. Fqr a like reason the ears were not so perfect nor so uniformly

matured as were tnose on toe srn.ks ot the varieties which stood up. A stalk five feet high with normal growth would about fill the bill* if other things are equal, for fodder and grain. As compared with the eight-foot stalk the labour of handling would be about one% half.. Corn harvesting machinery will hardly come into universal favor unless | we reduce the height of the corn stalks. In we had tae best prospect of a large yield of oats that we had had for years. The stalks grew and grew until they were higher than the hedge. A violent storm laid Everything flat. Out experience in cutting these oats will be remembertd when many other thing; are forgotten. We were not growing I oats for the straw, but for the grain. If tfie'"plants bad been half as high we would have had perhaps twice as much grain and less unpleasant experience in harvesting. The same is. in a measure true of i wheat.- If the wheat plant when matured stands 30 inches high it can be easily reaped, and there will b? scarcely j any danger of lodging. It is a pleasure 1 j to handle sheaves which are two feet | long as compared with the heavy. ; shapeless bundles four feet long. Wenlways try to leave as'tnueh of the straw in the field m the shape of stubble as circumstances permit. Our seedsmen can aid us by improving 1 varieties along the line of shorter stalks.—Kobert L, Deuu, in AgriculI tural Epitomist.' * • HANDY STONE BOAT. •*.

THE REAL CULPRIT. Kept Qalrt ud L*t the Poor Let* ter Carrier Take All the Blame. "Hi there!” called a somewhat excited Woman to the postman who was passing on his morning round. “Where's that letter I sent three weeks ago to my sister in Buffalo? She never got it and has written to know whether Fm mad at her or some of ua •re sick.” “I know nothing about it> madam.” “Of course you don't. I suppose the post-master-genera! would My the same thing. My own private opinion is that this government is running at mighty loose ends. I put a stamp on that letter to pay for having it sent. It was directed as plain as print. It is lost or stolen and my own sister is blaming me for neglecting her. It’s all politics, that's what it is, putting in a lot of raw hands every four years, and I don’t propose to stand it. I’m going to find out whether you mail men can defraud your customers and make family trouble just because you don't know enough to look after your business.” “But I never saw your letter, my good woman.” “I don't care anything about that. Neither did my sister ever see it. I’ll not sleep till I write the president and give him a piece of my mind. The idea of paying an army of men to lose letters. It's ridiculous. It won't be long before some of you are looking for other jobs, or I miss my guess.” During this conversation theVoman's husband dove frantically into his pockets, ran hatless through the back gate, put that letter into a mail box and made a tine show of temper while helping his wife abuse the government.—Detroit Free Press. AN ANCIENT CUSTOM. From Republican’ Traveler, Arkansas City. Kan. Pilgrimages to some shrine of St. Vitus, to cure the disease known as St. Vitus' dance are no longer made. The modern way of treating this affliction is within reach of every household, as is shown by the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the eleven-year-old son of George Wagner, of 515 9th St., Arkansas City. Kan. The father tells the story as follows: "Over a year ago.” he says, “Karl was taken with St. Vitus’ dance and continued to grow worse during five months he was under a physisian's care. His tongue be- «. ame paralyzed and we could not understand a word he said. He became very thin, lost the use of his right leg ami seemed doomed to become a hopeless invalid. We had about given up hope when Dr.. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended to my wife by a lady whose daughter bad been cured of a similar affliction by the pills. “I bought a box of them at once and soon I | noticed a

HoptUt* ikralid. nau idKfn five box e s the disease disappeared. “That was six months ago and there hi? been no return of the disease. The cure was effectual and permanent, and I feel satisfied that no other medicine could have produced so marvelous a result. We feel rejoiced over the restoration of our son. and cannot help but feel that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are the most remarkable medicine on the market.” No discovery of modern times has proved | such a blessing to mankind as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directy on the blood and nerves, invigorating the | body, regulating the functions, they restore ' the strength and health in the exhausted pa- : tient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing.

A FRIEND’S ADVICE. And what it led to.

It Is set a common occurence that a friendly word should be the cans of giving nearly forty years of happiness and health to the person heeding the advice it carried. iThis was the case with Mary Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging ont her days in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself so active and strong she can do work that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy, healthful years of industry. But let her tell her story: “Thirty-six years ago I had great tronble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, and they blistered my side in an effort to give me relief. I was at that time earning my living as a tailoress, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters I was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me. with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Sar saparitla. and finally persuaded me to take a regular course of it. When 1 first com menced taking the Sarsaparilla mv side was so painful that I could not faste’n my dress, and for a time I did not get auy relief, but my friend advised me to persevere and relief was s«re to come, and come it did. This happened, as 1 sav, thirty-six years ago. My liver has never troubled me since, and during these years I have passed through the most critical period of a woman’s life without any par ticular trouble, and to-day. at sixty-one years of age, I am active and strong, and able to do a day’s work that would upset

many a younger woman. Brer sine* mtf recovery I have taken a couple of bottle* of Dr. Ayer’s Sarsapa.illa each spring,an# am quite satisfied that I owe my goo# health to this treatment. I give this testimonial purely in the hope that it may meet the eye of some poor sufferer.*1— Many Liksaao, Woodstock. Ont, ,Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has won its way to every corner of the world by the praise of its friends; those who have tried it an* who know they were enred by the use at the remedy. There is nothing so stronm as this personal testimony. It-throws all theories and fancies to the winds an# stands solidly upon the rock of ex perk, ence challenging every skeptic with as positive “i hnw." Ayer’s Sarsaparilla* with its petrifying and vitalizing action us the blood is a radical remedy for every form of disease that begins in tainted «r impure blood. Hence tumors, sorest, ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis. eases yield promptly to this medicines Some cases are more stubborn than others* but persistence with Dr. Ayer’s Sarsap^. rilla usually results in a complete curb. Mary Lingard began with a bottle. aaC wenuon to a coarse of Dr. Ayer’s Sarsap*rills. When she was cured she realixe# that a medicine that could curejdisease could also prevent it. So she took a coupHr of bottles each spring and kept in perfect health. There are thousands of Juaihr cases on record. Some of these* atw gathered Into Dr. Ayer’s Cnrebook. a little book of 100 pages which is sent free by the J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass. Write lor it.

TRIALS OF SALESWOMEN. Mrs. Pinkham Says Standing Still is One of Woman’s Most Trying Tasks. 4 Have yon ever thought why it is that an many women or girls rather walk for an hoar than stand still for ten minutes ? It is because most women suffer from some derangement of their delicate organism, the discomfort from which is less trying when they are in motion than when standing. So serious are these troubles and so dangerous to

health that the laws m some slates compel employers to provide resting places lor their female employees. Bnt no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. Customers are exacting, and expect the
