Tbey were zal temtmeil by the Spaniartle;
but, tbe "Spanish alailniral, in recognition
of their bravery, sent word to the Anieri-
tan Admiral, under a ilaar of truce, that
he was willing to exchange the prisouers,
and assuring the American conanantier
that they wonid be treated with the
greatest kintinees. Money and provisions
have been sent to them, and the necessary
steps are being taken to bring about their
exebango. The alerrimae had on board
6U0 tons of coal when she was scuttled
aoross the channel.
The Perilous Trip Started.
Lieut. Hobeon started on his daring
errand at Si o'clock this snorting. The
Merrimac was lying to the westward.
Under cover of the clouds over the moon
she stole in towards the coast and matde
her way to the eastward, followed by a
steam launch front the New York, with
the following crew on board; 'Naval
Cadets J. W. Powell, P. X. Peterson, H.
Ilanciford, 3. Mulling and G. L. Russell.
In the launch wore bandages and appli-
ances for the wounded.
From the crowded docks of the Now
York nothing could be seen of the Merri-
mac atter she had got under the shadow
of the hills. For half an hour officers and
men strained their eyes peering into the
gloom, when, suddenly, the flash of a gun
streamed out from Morro Castle,and then
all on board the New York knew the
Merrimac was nearing the end. The guns
from the Spaniel) battery opposite Morro
Castle answered quickly with more flashes,
and for about 20 minutes flashes of lire
seemed to leap across the harbor entrance.
The flagship was too far away to hear
the reports, and when the firing ceased it
was judged that Hobson had blown up
the Merrimac.
At 6.15 a.m. the launch came along-
side the flagship, but she did not have on
board any of the crew of the Merrimac.
Cadet Powell reported that be had been
unable to see any sign of the Merrimac's
crew. It developed that, with great Meta
ery, the cadet had gone right under the
batteries and only returnedwhen all hope
of taking on board the orew of the Mer
rimae had to be abandoned.
Cadet Powell also reported that he had
clearly seen the Merrimac's, masts stick-
ing up just whore Hobson hoped to fink
,her, north Of the Estrella battery, and
well past the guns of Morro Castle. But,
of the heroes who had penned the Spani-
ards in, there was not a sound or a sign.
What Sampson Sala.
Ilear-AcIniiral Sampson said: "I am
pretty sure the attempt was quite sue.
aessful. I hope all those Weave fellows ate
not captured."
Cadet Powell believes the torpedoes
previously fixed about the Iiivaalmao were
exploded as planned, as 'Lieut. Hobson
was well up the barber before the Spain -
surds opened Ere on the Merrimac.
What actually happened on 'board the
Merrimac can be best judged from what
Lieut. Hobson said just before leaving
She flagship. Sitting in his cabin, bis face
browned by the sun and his eyes flashing
with excitement, he remarked: "I shall
go right into the harbor until about 400

of the accused, Joseph Ord, who is an
old man of 86, and of Mr. McCosh, his

It appears there has been a good deal
of quarrelling between the accused and
young Ord, who is his stepson. The farm

his and got in a rage over it and followed
the young man when he went to the
barn. There they had a screOle, the
younger throwing the elder down and
dragging him along on 'the ground for
some distance, and telling, him to go

followed him back again to the barn,
where they had another exiootnter at the

She Great, particularly the Ptolemies and
the Seleueltive. Antipater introduced
them into Greece and Pyrrhus took them
into Italy. The elepbants used by these
princes were of the Aelatlo raco, but the
Carthag,enians and Numidians, abott tho
commencement of the Punic wars, began
to make a similar use a the African ele-
phant, which differs from the other by
baying less size, weigbt and strength,
with larger ears and tusks.
The elephant is exceedingly sure footed
and shows remarkable sagacity in its
choice of routes over mountainous dis-
tricts. It feeds Sargely on grass and ie
particularly fond of the stalks of sugar
cane and the feathery tops of bamboo, as
well as fruits of every description. The
products of Cuba comprise everything that
an elephant might desire.
In actual warfare elephants have been
and probably would be used as a coveting
force. Wbere heavy artillery was not like-
ly to be encountered the beast might be
stationed in front of the lines, the inter-
vals between being occupied by light
Stoops, who could prevent the enemy from
turuing the elephants heels on their own
ranks.
Being bold in reserve in the roar, a herd
of 25 elephants might be brought forward
at the moment of a crisis in battle and
turn the doubtful scale of victory.

Elephants were lased In large ttnmbors
in the wars of India as /ate as 1779, and
they form at this day a very important
factor in tho British army in India, being
used for the transportation of batteries
and supplies.
In discussing the elephant as an engine
of war a noted circus man is reported as
saying: "To begin with, he can go where
horses cannot. A Cuban thicket would be
nothing to an elephant who bad spent
half bis life in African jungles. Field -
pieces could be strapped to bis sides, or he
could be put in harness and made to draw
the heavier impedimenta. The average
person ltas no idea of the strength of a
full grown elephant. In traveling about
the country we use thorn in a hundred
ways. Very frequently cages and heavy
wagons get stuck in the mud. Four and
ve teams of horses are unable to start
them, and tbe elephants are brought up.
Two of them breaks their heads against the

call. While the typical army nurse is al-
ways described by the idealist as a youth-
ful tender "angel of mercy," with a beau-
tiful face, generals in command of armies
prefer iniddle aged and homely women fol
Well service. A circular distributed by
the superintendent of nurses in 1861 read:
"No women under 80 need apply. All
nurses are required to be very plain look -
lag women. Their dresses xnust be either
brown or black, with no bows, no curls
or jewelry and no hoop skirts."
The pay given to nurses in the late war
was 612 a month, but it is said that hun-
dreds of women of socials:anis and posi-
tion, without waiting to be formally mus-
tered in, served without pay or hope of re-
ward.
The nurses during the civil war were
furnished by the sanitary commission. If
any women nurses are employed in this
war, they will be supplied by the Red
Cross society, whioh bas recruited its ranks
to meet the emergency, But it is by no
means easy to become a Red Cross nurse.
Tbe enthusiastic: young woman who has
caseated her time to dancing and euchre
parties will find that she must show some-
thing more than enthusiasm before she
can wear a white oap.
In reply to inquiries as to the form of
enlistment the regular application blanks
and tbe following rules and regulations of
the order are sent out from the Red Cross
Hospital and Training School For Sisters
in New York:
"In order to become a sister of the Red
Cross the applicant mast be of unques-
tionable character and qualifleatioes.
Further, sbe must (1) take the regular
two years and three months' course of
training at the Red Cross hospital, or (2)
present certificates from some reputable
training school for nurses and take a six
months' postgraduate course in naethods
specially applicable to war or other ua-
tiomil calamity. At the expiration of the
course, upon giving satisfactory evidence
of requisite fitness, the candidate is grad-
uated as a Red Cross sister and can there-
after act as such either at home or abroad.
"in oases of enmegenoy nurses may be
enlisted for the special need upon presen-
tation of their certificates and without
taking the six months' course mentioned,
but it should be understood that at the
close of the service itt question their rela-
tion with the Red Cross ceases until they
oan be graduated in the regular way. In
this connection, however, eredit will be
given for oharacter of work doue clueing
enlistment.
"Candidates must have no idea that
there is au romantic or sentimental at-
traotiveness in the stern demands of war,
p,estilonce or famine. The emergencies of:
tho service are often meet trying, some-
times involving privation and daegei,
and only those ready for such work can be
of real use.

Kleinbures, Juno 6.-A tienclish trice
has been perpetrated upon horses and
cattle in this vicinity- during, the past few
days, for which no cause can be assigned,
and for whioh a reward is now offered for
the conviction of the guilty parties. First,
they entered the stable of John Duggan
and blistered his horse on both sides with
carbolic aoid, from the hips to the book.
Then they visited Mr. Holtingsheadai
stable and treated his colt similarly, A
visit was next made to Mr. Thomas
White's stable, where they varied their
fiendishness by cutting off bis epee's tail.
Mr. Simpson's, the carriage maker, wee
the next place visited, and here they tills -
tared his horse in the same manner that
the other horses were blistered.
