THE VESUVIUS Makes a New World's Record Her Tubes Are Wrecking Everything They Hit-Thcy Seem to Hit.

For hours iho ships pounded the batteries at the rilit and left of j the entrance, only sparing El j Morro, where Lieutenant Hob-1 son and li is comrades are in ! prison.

It is believed the Spanish loss of life was heavy. As a nreliiminarv to the ham mering given the batteries, the dynamite cruiser ' Vemvious" was turned loose at midnight. Three 250-pound charges of giM-cotton giM-cotton were sent over the fortifications fortifi-cations at the entrance. The design was to drop them into the bay around the angle, back of the eminence on which El Morro is situated, where it whs known that the torpedo boat, destroyers were lving. Two charges went true, as no reports were heard a peculiarity of the explosion of euncotton in water. Whether! the destroyers were demolished is not known, but the destructive jirea of guncotton is large and it would not be surpi ising if one (r both torpedo boats were destroyed. de-stroyed. The third charge exploded ex-ploded with terrific force on . Cayo Smith. From where the fleet lay the entrance of the harbor looked in the black of night like a door opening into ' the livid fire of a titanic furnace. A crater big enough to hold a church was blown out of th side of Cayo Smith, and was clearly seen from theships this morning. The "Vesuvius" has evidently began a new era in warfare.

MILES' HEART CURE MR. C. C. BHCLTS, of Wlntewet, Iowa, Inventor ami manufacturer of SbulU' Safety Whiffletree CoupllnR, write of Dr. Mites' Heart Cure. "Two years ago an attack of LaGrlppe left mo with a weak heart. I had run down in flesh to mere skin and bone. I could not sleep tying down for smothering spells; frequent sharp darting pains and palpitation caused a constant con-stant fear of sudden death, nothing could Induce me to remain away from home over night. My local physliian prescribed Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and In a few days I was able to sleep well aud tho pains gradually lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced the tho aosca, haying gained fifteen pounds, and am now feeling better In every vrcy thrm I ha re for years."

The destructive , - . i power of such a broadside is j almost beyond eomputinn. It. lis enough to destroy a city, to wipe it oil the face of tne earth and eliminate every trace of its existence. The nitro-gelatine is half as strong again as dynamite. Imagine the effect of three and three-quarter tons of it. There are three 15 inch dynamite guns at the Presido, near San Francisco. Fran-cisco. As a test ono of these guns sent a projectile containing contain-ing 200 pounds f nitro gelatine across tut; uoi:.io. viato lino one of the mountains; one mile away. The explosion ot this shell dug a crater in the solid rock 'io feet deep and 05 feet in diameter. Of course it must not be forgotten forgot-ten thut the Vesuvius is u-ing guncotton in her projectiles. Guncotton is only oncfirili as strong as nitro gelatine. Where a shell strikes from one of the guns of (he Vesuvius the havoo is awful. "One of her projectiles dropped in the midst of a regiment regi-ment would eliminate it from the war. If any man in the regiment, was not torn to bits, he would not be lit for lighting. Against a shin the Vesuvius would be big shells deadly. One of her droning on the deck wouh crush t iirougti ttie armor and exploding in a vital part would shatter the ship. If one of these shells exploded in the air or in the water within 50 feet of a ship'of war it will crush her side or bottom and sink her. If one of these shells explodes within 50 yards of a modern man-of-war it will render her I useless for fighting, for the defoliation de-foliation will throw the bearings of her engines nearly out of line, jdisiocote the shaft or jam the ! neatly fitted parts. Thus the ship will become a mere helpless help-less target." The New York Cuban junta has advices that G,000 Spanish volunteers and many regulars from Puerto Principe and Neu-vetas Neu-vetas garrisons have deserted to the patriot army. The immediate immedi-ate cause of desertion was the fear of shells from the American fleet. A London dispatch says that neither Russia nor France, much less England, would tolerate any attempt to turn America's gallant gal-lant overthrow of the Spanish fleet and virtual capture of Mn nilla to Germany's special advantage. ad-vantage. I nternational jealousies jealous-ies guarantee that America will not bo troubled by any interference interfer-ence in the Philippines. This is th opinion in high political circles in London. The arrival at Manilla of Admiral Diedrieh, the German naval chief in the ! Pacific, is said, on the oest. authority, au-thority, to be owing simply to ! a desire to witness theoperations 'of Admiral Dewey' squadron , for naval reasons, not with any , political object. ' The claims of Canadian seal-: seal-: ers arising out of seizures m ole by the United States in Bering sea were finally settled yesterday yester-day by thepayment to Viir Julian j Pauncefote, the British atn.bas- sailor, of approximately $ 17o,00l), I being the full amounts of the ' claims as settled under an agrce-i agrce-i ment between the United States I and Great Britain. I I Our ambassador to Germany lias declared that the United Stales will not. permit German troops to be lauded in the Philippines, Phil-ippines, lie asserted the Germans Ger-mans have as little right to laud and occupy any part of the Philippines Phil-ippines as they have to occupy New York. Manila and the Philippine Islands are now United States territory. A leading member of the diplomatic di-plomatic corps said yesterday at Washington that the departure of General Shafter's army of in n , 1 , .. fl11 !"'ont prospects o peace. MM '1 f .1 ii i it; none oi i ne ireign repre sentatives have ever made peace representations to the government, govern-ment, yet peace negotiations always seemed to the members of the diplomatic fraternity as within the possibility, even probability, prob-ability, so long as tho troops remained at Tampa and Key West. Now, however, with 15,-000 15,-000 American soldiers about to land on Spanish soil, it is said that the conditions oppcrttms lor peace have undergone a material ma-terial change, as it commits the United Sttates to an aggressive land campaign and also makes j it impossible for Spain to adopt I any other course than that of I defending her soil against inva- sion. The presence of our ships j al Manila, llavanj and Santiago l have not, this diplomat staled, coitnmeil an actual invasion, ultima much ;h th .'ship.? have wrought la'n.ige. Tile ships could been withdrawn at any t:it with 15,000 troops j have tune. landed on Cuban soil, a new and more serious phase of tht conflict con-flict was presented. Instead of blockading and beleaguering a few Spanish cities the Auvricati army now enters Spanish territory terri-tory and that advanced the campaign cam-paign from a passive to an active and offensive condition. For this reason, he said, the hope of a peaceful solution of the conflict had passed away and he believed they could not be revived re-vived until the result of this first Cuban invasion was determined. This would take some months, probably all summer, for this aggressive land movement would be followed by others each one making the prospect of peace more remote. If a peace proposition propo-sition had come before General Shafter sailed, diplomatic olli-cials olli-cials are inclined to believe it would have been eagerly accepted accept-ed by Spain and would have stood some chance of consideration considera-tion by the United States.
