ships, are else heel as prisoners of
war by the United States navy, The
American victory is complete, and am -
cording to the best information ob-
tainable at this time, the American
vessels were practicaily untouched,
and only ono man was 1citled,
though the ships were subjected to the
heavy fire of the Spaniards all the
time the battle lasted, Admiral Cer-
vera made as gallant a dash for lib-
erty and, for the preservation of his
ships, as has ever occurred in the
history of naval warfare. In the face
of overwhelming odds, with nothing be-
fore him but inevitable destruction or
surrender if he remained any longer
in the trap In which the American
fleet held him, he made a. bold dash
from the barber at the time the Am-
ericans lease expected :him to do so,
and, Sighting every inch of his way,
even when his ship was aflame and
sinking, he tried to escape elle doom,
which was written, on the muzzle of
every American gun trained upon his
vessels.
SPANISH FOUGHT GAlMBLY,
The Americans saw him the moment
he left the harbour, and commenced
their work of destruction immediately.
For an hour or two they followed the
tying Spaniards to the westward along
he shore line, sending shot after shot
oto their black hulls, tearing great
holes in their steel sides, and cov-
ring their decks with the blood of
the killed and wounded. at no time
clid the Spaniards show any indication
hat they intended to do otherwise than
fight to the last. They showed tto
ignals of surrender even when their
hips commenced to sink, and the greet
Muds of smoke pouring from their
ides showed that they were on fire,
But they turned their heads toward
he shore less than a mile away, and
an them on the beach and rocks,
where their destruction WAS soon c'orn-
tleted. The officers and men on board
them escaped to the shore, as well as
they could, with the assistance of boats
sent from the American men-of-war,
and then threw themselves upon the
mercy, of their captors, who not only
extended to them the gracious hand
of American chivalry, but sent them a
gaited u
rd to protect them from the mr-
derous bands of Cuban soldiers biding
in the bush on the hillside, eager to
rush down and attack the unarmed,
defeated, but valorous foe.
One after another the Spanish ships
became the victim of the awful rain
of shells width the American battle-
ships. cruisers, and gunboats poured
upon them, and two !tours after the
first of the fleet had started out of
Santiago harbour three cruisers and
two torpedo-boat destroyers were ly-
ing on the share, 10 to 15 miles west
of Morro Castle, pounding to pieces,
snake and flame pouring from every
part of them and covering the entire
cease with a mist. which could be seen
for miles. Heavy explosions of ars-
munition occurred every few- minutes,
sending curls of dense white smoke a
hundred feet in the air and causing a
shower of broken iron end steel to fall
in the water on every side. The bluffs
on the coast line echoed, with the roar
of every explosion, and the Spanish
vessels sank deeper and deeper bate
the sand, or else the rocks ground their
hulls to pieces as they rolled or pitched
forward or sideways with every wave
that. washed upon them from the open
sea.
CNRVERA SC'RRENDEitS,
Admiral Cervera escaped to the
shore in a boat sent by the Gloucester
to the assistance of the Infanta Maria
Teresa, and as soon as site touched I he
beach he surrendered himself and his
command to Lieut. Morton, and nsked
to be taken on hoard the Gloucester,
which WAS the only American vessel
neer him al, the time, with several of
his olficers, including the captain of

With the American Army before
Santiago, via Playa del Este.—Major-
(General Shelter on h'riday morning be-
gan with great vigour, the 'attack on
tete outer defences of Santiago, From
three directions the American forces
advanced toward the doomed city.
While General 'LIIArten and General
Wheeler were attacking Caney, north-
west of Santiago General Kent was
advancing toward Aguadores, Gener-
al Garcia with his Cuban troops at the
same time approached Caney tram the
south-east, and the other division of
the American army pressed toward
Santlago from the east, the 'Unita(!
States forces thus presenting a solid
front from the const to General Lin-
ares' northern detences.
Four members of the 21st Regiment
of regulars ware killed in the fighting
between Sevilla and Aguadores, while
10 other Atnerionas, alt members of the
21st, were wounded.
Both the American and Spanish fleets
early joined in the battle,
White Admiral Sampson's men were
reducing the reoeutly emplaced bat-
teries at Aguadores, Admiral Cet'vera's
fleet was hurling sheds in the clirettioa
of the American and Cuban lines.
Iwo batteries of light artillery, eat-
ing under orders from Major-(leneral
Shatter, who went to the front at the
head of the troops, began (helmet's of
Santiago by attacking Caney. From
this village a direct road leads into
Santiago, anti the advance of the
Cat ted Sett Les forces will be irresistible
when they gnin possession of the road.
General Wheeler, with a detachment
of his cavalry command, and Garcia,
with the Cuban troops, quickly joined
General Lawtou's men in the advance
upon Caney.
CAPTURE OF CANEY.
The Spaniards for a time fought des-
perately to prevent Caney from falling
into the hands of the United Settles
forces. It was a vain effort. Before
the fighting had been long under way
the American and Cuban forces gain-
ed advanced ground. Foot by foot the
enemy was driven back into the v11-
lage. It was 'evident after the first
hour's tightintr that General Shelter
had accurately gauged the strength of
the enemy, and that he would be able
to drive the Spaniards into Santiago
at his pleasure.
It was with difficultly the command-
ing officer restrained the ardour of
his troops until the hour for beginn-
ing' the aitaok came. The enthusiasm
of the American forces was intense and
their spirit quiokly spread to the Cu-
ban troops. All 'have shared in the
belief of Gen. Shatter that Santiago
could be taken by a sharp, persistent
attank, and they have been impatient
to advance
Brigadier -General hent, who com-
manded the centre of the ge:ne'alt line
of attaok, started the 21st Regiment
of regulars toward Aguadores at the
same hour General Law'tou's men ad-
vanced toward Caney. Upon these
troops tell the brunt of battle to the
south-east of Santiago during the early
hours of the day. There was
DESPERATE FIGHTING
about Aguadores. Acting under orders
from General Linares, the Spanish at
that: point returned the American fire
with a fury that aroused in the Amer-
icans the fiercest determination, They
boldly faced the enemy's fife, holding
their ground tenaciously, and pressing
forward whenever an opportunity to
gain an advance footing presented it-
self. In their operations about. Ague -
dares the Americans were greatly en-
couraged by the work of the fleet,
which poured a heavy fire into the
lines of Spaniards, Admiral Sampson
ordered the New• York, Gloucester, and
Suw'anee to attack the batteries recent-
ly placed to the cost of Morro. The
vessels engaged the batteries at short
range, and left only the scarred: hill-
side to show where the batteries had
been located. The Massachusetts
and the New York troops then opened
with big guns, plunging a heavy fire
into the enemy's lines, Common shell
and reduced charges were used for this
purpose, and they demoralized the
enemy's ranks.
The shells were fired at to .high ele-
vation so as to clear the towering
coast line ridge, 1'he Newark joined
the fleet on Friday morning, and at
noon the Iowa steamed within 10,0(10
yards of dlorro Castle. Admiral Samp-
son had signalled from the flagship for
Iowa to engage Morro, but a few mo-
ments later, just as the Iowa was
about to open fire, the annulling pen-
nant was hoisted,

MEN NU ANS
len and Women in all Walks of Life Tell of the Remarkable
Cures Wrought by South American Nervine Tonic.
SIX DOSES WiLL CONVINCE THE MOST INIIliEDULCUD.
EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT., REVIEiW.
Newspaper editors are almost as
sceptical es the average physician on
the subject of now remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated cures will incline either an
editor or a doctor to seriously consider
the merits honestly claimed for a
medicine.
Ilundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonio
were received from men and women
all over the country before physioians
began to preser'ibe this great remedy
in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, sick
headache, and as it tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of sick-
ness.
During his experience of nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col-
well, of . The Paris Review, has pub-
lished hundreds of columns of paid
medicine advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a graaefully-
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
single instance, and that one warrant-
ed by his own personal experience,
)las he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved.
such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. It has never failed
in its purpose, and it has cured when
doctors and other medicines wore
tried in vain.
t' I was prostrated with a particu-
larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,''
says Mr. Colwell, ''and could find ne
relief from the intense pains and dia.
tress of the malady. 'f suffered day
and night. The doctors did not help
me, and I tried a number of medi-
cines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
American Nervine Tonle, Its effects
were instantaneous. The first dose I
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. Your
Nervine Tonic oured me in a single
week,"
The South American Nerving
Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it is this notable
feature whioh distinguishes it from
every other remedy In existence. Tb.
most eminent medical authorities now
concede tha t fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise
froth exhaustion of the nerve forces.
The South American Nervine Tonle
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and, nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies thein with the true nourish.
nkeot required, and that is why flit
invigorating effects upon the whole
system are alwaye felt immediately.
For all nervous diseases, for general
debility arising from enfeebled vital.

variety no other remedy can powibly
take its place.
