FIRED FROM BUSHES. “AFTER'A BRIEF SKIRMISH THE SPAN.- ! IARDS DISAPPEAR.C ~ PREPARATIONS FOR DISPATCHING A SECOND INVASION. KINGSTON, June 14—After the thir- teen hours’ skirmish on Sunday be- tween the Marines and Spaniards it was expected the attack would be re- newed. . At 9 o ’clock the firing was renewed by the Spaniards, who appeared 1n the bushes on the edge of 'a small island, aboutamile to the northeast of the. camp. It was promptly returned by thirteen rifles and a 3-inch field gun, and in a short time all signs of the enemy had disappeared. ‘ Colonel Huntington .then sent to the landing for a second 3-inch gun, which was dragged up the hill and placed in position at the summit. The skirmish lines thrown around the camp kept up firing all the morning, but without 'much result. Meanwhile the Marble- head left the harbor and threw a few shells intothe woods. To the great delight of marines in camp Lieutenants Neville and Shaw, with thirty men of Company D., return- ed in good shape, but much exhausted by eighteen hours of picket duty. One man, Sergeant Smith, of Company K., had been shot through the abdomen and instantly killed. , During most of the day and night Lieutenants Neville and‘Shaw had been surrounded by a much superior force, but. men and officers behaved splendid- ‘ ly, and, although the firing of the Spaniards was constant and heavy, Lieutenant Neville’s detatchment held its owu, inflicting much more loss than it sustained. I I _ V ' At leaSt five Spaniards are known to have been killed; and, as Lieutenant Neville’s men kept up a steady fire throughout the night and the enemy was not ata great distance, it is be- liev‘ed' that the Spanishcasualities were heavy. The battle-slim Texas arrived yester- day morning and sent ashore forty marin‘es'and two. autumatic Colt guns , I ' . 1 l as reinforcements. The Marblehead also sent an ad-7 ditional small detachment. Private BartholOmew McGowan, of Company D, will lose his hand which was shattered by a Mauser bullet. Amputation will be necessary. The Marblehead’s pilot, who was shot through the leg while guiding the cruiser out of the harbor yesterday morning, holds the rank of a colonel in the Cuban service. I ATTACK ON PORTO RICO NEXT. WASHINGTON, June 14—The 'War Department has announced that it has begun active preparations for the sec- ond army of invasion, which, it is be- lieved, will go to Porto Rico. There seems to be no doubt that this expedi- tion, if its strength approaches that of the first, will be sent from the east coast of the United States. The ex- perience in embarking the first from Tampa has demonstrated to the War Department officials that other ports where the railroad and other facilities are more-adequate than at Tampa are much more desirable places for the concentration of troops and their em- barkation. The officers at Tampa have recommended that future expeditions approaching any magnitude be dis- patched from some other city. - Fernandina and Savannah are re- garded with favor by the War ‘Depart- ment Officials as suitable ports for the departure Of the invading army, and Charleston also has been suggested. Five transports. are now at Fernand- ina—the Comanche, the Knicker- bocker, the Louisiana, the Gate- City and the City of Macon The Catania and the Arcadia were at New York two days ago, and the Lampasas and the. Nucces, of the Mallory Line, whose - charters have been about closed by Assistant Secretary Meiklejobn, are at New York. Already, therefore, the Department“ is well equipped. with I'd-3. transports for the second‘inv'ading army. SPANISH “IRONCLADS” AT MANILA. LONDON, June 14.—According_ to a dispatch from Madrid to. ‘_‘The Finan- cial News,” three Spanish ironclads from Madagascar Waters have arrived inside of Manila, and Admiral Dewey ’5 ships have gone to meet them. , ‘ :VA=.

The accused was a lad eight years of age, and the accusation against him was the break- ing, by the hurling of a stone, of a win- dow in Comstock Bros. store.

Rowan who went to New Hampshire a few days since on a summer fishing jaunt nar- rowly escaped arrest on their arrival in that state, and all because they wore straw hats. They explained their ig- . norance of the fact that the straw hat _ season did not Open in that state until _ July 25th, and were allowed to proceed on their way without the usual fine of $10. It is expected that Hon. John H. Ferris will soon be one of the party, but having been warned he will prob- ably keep his straw hat hidden in his gr1p. ————<o.o>——-——-— An Old Story. Deputy sheriff Lyon was called to Oyster Shell Point the other night to arrest George Kellogg, who it was claimed had threatened to split his wife’s head open with an axe and to set fi1e to the house. The complaint was made by a neighbor. Mr. Lyon visited the scene but failed to find his man. Mrs. Kellogg said that her hus- band had madesaathe threats alleged, but that they were so “chestnutty” that she no longer paid attention to them. A Modest Physiclan. Yesterday was the fifteenth wedding anniversary of Dr. A. H. Baldwin, and rather than celebrate it in its intirety within the environments of the good old town of Norwalk, he escorted a party of thirty or more to Seaside Park Bridgeport, where they all had a happy time at the doctors expense. It was seemingly a family gathering. And none were more happy than the doctor, his estimable wife and their children. -————~‘O.O>—-—-—- ~ South Norwalk Young Men’s Mishap.

Both occupants were thrown out, one of them sustaining a severe cut on the head. They were Norwalk young men—Stamford Advo- cats.
