rounded his humble pallet to probe for
a bullet in his chest, he opened his

reached the piece of lead he opened his
eyes and said: ‘,'Doct0r an inch deep-

In the event of refusal he was to

follows:

It stated Sh'after’s demand for sur-
render of Santiago at noon Monday
on pain of bombardment. There-upon
the foreign consuls at Santiago made
a joint representation, requesting that
women and children in the city have
until Tuesday noon to withdraw before
the bombardment begins.

non-combatants-can occupy the town
of Caney and railroad points, and ask
until, 10 o’clock of the 5th inst. before
the city lis fired upon. They claim that.
there are between 15.000 and 20.000 peo-
.ple, many of them old,‘ wno will leave.

They ask if I can supply them with
food, which I cannot do for want' of
transportation to Caney, which is 15-
miles from my landing.

VVashington, July 5,—Tize feeling at
the war department that Santiago, be-
ing covered by Shafter’s siege guns on
the heights around the town, and by
the guns of Sampson‘s ships, must sur-
render before the day is over, has led
to a complete revolution of the plans
which were formulated when General
Shafter's dispatch calling for immedi-
ate- reinforcements was received.

As soon as General Shatter’s troops
have been thoroughly rested they will
be forwarded to Porto Rico.

The army corps under General
Brooke at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga.
now under marching orders, will prob-
ably be the first troops to leave for
Porto Rico.

The soldiers of General Snyder's di—
vision at Tampa are believed to be on
the water bound for Santiago. It is
the purpose to forw ard them immedi-
ately after the: r arrival at that place
-to Porto Rico, without disembarking
the soldiers from the transports, with
the exception perhaps of one or two
regiments, which will replace some of
the troops of General Shafter’s army.

THROWERS OF DYNAMITE.

The Vesuvius and the Nletheroy. Unlike
the Ships of Any Navy in the World.
With the incorporation of the Nicth-

eroy into the United States Navy, that
branch of the service will hay. two
ships that are unlike those of any other
navy in the world—destroyers on a
huge plan. These two ships—the Ve-
suvius and the Nictheroy—are throw-
ers of dynamite. The explosives which
they throw do not depend, as do those
thrown from the torpedo tubes of or-
dinary warships or the missile sent
from a torpedo boat, On any mechani-
cal contrivance inside of the missile.
They travel through the air, and their
propulsive force comes from compress-
ed air, which is stored in a tube that
is more like a. gun than a tube. The
shots have ranges far superior to those
of the torpedo and accuracy which is
almost perfect.

The one question is whether large
ships like these can get near enough to
an enemy to reach him with their shot.
They are not like torpedo boats or tor-
pedo boat destroyers. They are large
,and noticeable objects, and while the
Vesuvius is armored, the Nictheroy has
little defensive power. But if they do
get near enough to an enemy to use
their dynamite guns properly the ship
against which they operate is doomed.
No armor, no strength of construction,
no bulkheads can save the warship that
is struck by the tremendous charge
of nitro-glycerlne or explosive gela-
tine with which the aerial torpedo is
loaded.

The Nictheroy originally was a mer-
chant vessel owned by the Morgan line,
and her name when she was in a peace-
ful occupation, was El Cid. She was
bought by' the Government of Brazil in
the time of the last revolution there,
and was to be used against the insur-
gents, who had seized the navy and
were bombarding the forts in the har-
bor of Rio de Janeiro. She was re-
fitted pretty' thoroughly as a. cruiser,
and her coal bunkers were so arranged
that they protect the machinery and
the parts necessary to operate the gun.
The latter is mounted in the bow, and
projects through an opening in the
spar deck, giving it a. clear range for-
ward and permitting a free motion on
each side, so that it can be trained
either“to port or starboard. The air
reservoirs of the gun are in the lower
hold, on the starboard side, directly
under the gun, and a. central air pipe
leads up through the foundations on
which the carriage of the gun rests.
Shields protect the weapon and the
men who serve it.

On the way to Brazil the crew prac-
ticed with it, using “dummy” projec-
tiles, and its accuracy was found re-
markable. The gun was so new, how-
ever, that the men were almost as
much afraid of it as the enemy was
expected to be, and there was consider-
able relief on board When it was found
on arrival in Brazil that there would
be no need for firing it with real dyna—
mite, as the revolution was over. Since
then the successful installation of two
batteries of these guns in ,United States
forts has made artillerists more con-
fident, and much reliance is placed in
the work of both the Vesuvius and the
Nic‘rhcroy.

 

 

TO A':M oun GUNS.-

llov.’ the Range Finder is Used In Place of
the Human Eye.

Seacoast guns, the huge engines
which are intended, not to kill men
directly but to destioy ships of wax
..1e not aimed b" gunner’s eves, but by
mathematical f01 111ula and 11160150 cal—
culation. Indeed, theie is 11011111.ng
which the eve could sigh: a mode-1'11

st defense gun 101 any of the g1. e '11
nges, as the weapon points 111 ghi
into the ail and not at the object which
is being attacked. This has made it
absolutely necessary to devise a way
of aiming which should be exact, and
the result has been that the high power
rifled steel gun of to- day is the most
accuiate cannon eve. used in 11' a1 f1..-
Paladoxically, as guns hate increas ed
their langes they have ineleased their
accuracy of fire. 2

The instrument that has replaced the
human eye to aim the seacoast gun is
called a range and position finder, and
its purpose is to tell exactly how far
from the cannon muzzle the ship to be
attacked is. To accomplish this one
of the most peaceful professions, that
of surveying, has been pressed into ser-
vice, and the range of fire is ascer-
tained by a method based on the sim-
ple- process of triangulation.

Besides the range, however, the posi-
tion of the ship must be known Some
forms of range— —fin iers are designed so
that it is necessary to have two of them
at fair distances from each other, using
the distance between them as the base
of a triangle of which the ship is the
apex. Thus they tell at once both the
range and the position of the enemy.

Others ascertain the range with one
movement and the position with an—
other. Of this class is the Lewis
range-finder, which has been installed.
in the forts of the United States. It is
of the kind known as depression range-
finder, and it, too, calculates the dis-
tance by triangulation. The known

and secured by thousands of perma-

because it rests upon cases like this:

Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives
at 7 Water street, Norwalk, says: “I
have been troubled with catarrh in my
head and throat for some time. My
whole head was stuffed up; the passages
of my head and throat would at times
become so filled with mucous that I
could not talk, and altogether it was
very annoying. I also suffered a great
deal of the time with headaches. I
got a bottle'of California Catarrh Cure
at Plaisted’ 5 drug store in South Nor-
walk, and ] think it is the greatest
stuff in the world. It has cured me of
all the disagreeable suffering I have
had for so long; my throat troubles me
no more, and I haVen’t had a headache
for weeks. I have recommended it to
several friends who have used it with
satisfactory results, and we all unite in
saying it is a wonderful medicine.”

C. C. C. is also invaluable for break-

vent an attack of hay fever if used

Vinol

is in our estimation destined to take
the place of cod liver oil in any form
in which we have previously known it.

While it is true that Vinol contains
the medicinal properties that are
found in cod liver oil, yet we find
that it is absolutely free from the
grease, as well as the vile odor and

disagreeable taste that has always

characterized cod liver oil.
Vinol is positively delicious and it
acts in a most marvelous manner as
abuilder-up. ~
