The warning was given to them some days ago, and the shells which were hurled yesterday from the Texas, Marblehead and Suw- anee have had a salutary effect, and this morning the Marblehead, St. Paul, Dolphin and Suwanee went at them Cuban scouts had reported that a number of Spanish soldiers were massed at a point of land lying between the fleet and the town. The Marblehead and Suwanee steamed in and took a position within easy range of them and the St. Paul and Dolphin opened from their anchorages. The firing began at 9 o'clock and continued for an hour, during which the strip of raised land was mowed almost level with the seca. This was the beginning of the day’s work. . It was carried on by the Oregon, which came in from the block- When she had finished coaling she went close in shore and sent four 13-inch and six 8-inch shells in struck a building in the town and Soon afterward the Cuban scoutsy reported that hundreds of Spanish troops in Guantanamo, arouscd by reason of this shot, were massing for an at- tack on Fort McCalla.

The insurgents have captured old Cavite Church, tak- ing 270 prisoners, and they now hold the entire shore of the bay right around to Malate, A “~~eion fire brigade, com- posed of British, Swiss and Germans, intend to remain ashore.

CETTINJE, Montenegro, June 19.—There was fighting all day long on Friday, near Berane, on the left bank of the River Lim. The number of killed is not known. The exodus of women and children from the disturbed district into Montenegro terri- tory continues. Yesterday the Servians pursued the Albanfans as far as Eerane, where a Turkish battery in the fortress fired upon the pursuers, killing one and wound; mny’i Ba.ldlidm “Basha has to restore order and rebuild the villages. been sen! | took every precaution to spare them | | from danger during the recent bom- | | bardments. Admiral Sampson has been | | convinced from the first that Admiral | | Cervera and General Linares had Hob- | | son and his fellow-heroes placed in | Morro Castle solely to prevent the! | Americans from shelling that fort. | | This chance opportunity furnished the | last hope the Spaniards had of long | avoiding the surrender of the city of | | Santiago and Admiral Cervera's fleet | | to Admiral Sampson. As long as they held the Mercimac's | | men there as a shield the American | Admiral made his instructions against | firing on Morro Castle most explicit. In the several bombardments that have | taken place in the vicinity our gunners | have been at a disadvantage because | of this necessary order. They were | most careful in aiming the guns not to allow a single shot even to threaten Morro with destruction. | Admifal Sampson to-day learned | positively that two of the Merrimac's | ! men had been taken by the Spaniards to the Marine Hospital, and that all | the others had been removed back to | the city. Upon receiving this informa- tion the admiral immediately rescinded his order not to fire on Morro Castle. “One dynamite shell will destrcy the fort,” the admiral said, as he discussed with those on board the flagship the latest actlon of the enemy in deallng with Lieutenant Hobson and his men. From the first the action of the Span- fards in confining these prisoners in Morro under the fire of our guns has been bitterly condemned by the officers and men in the fleet.

Many men imagine that hard work— ““hustling” they call it—counts for every- thing.

Through neglect of the digestion their blood gets full of im- purities and huniors which show themselves on the face and body in the shape of skin affections, bloiches, eruptions, eczema and scrofula. Dr. Pierce’s G n Medical Discovery drives all imp from the blood and cures all forms of affections. It is the great blood gmrifer, live: invigorator and flesh builder. It corrects all disorders of the digestion. Thousands have testified to its merits. Druggists sell it.
