In the Future Firemen "Will Be Allowed to Go Home Only a Day. A new regulation in regard to meal hours for firemen went into effect yesterday by order of Acting Chief of Department Edward F. Croker. Heretofore men have been allowed to go home for meals once, twice or three times a day, being allowed either three hours for a single meal, one and a half hours each for two or one hour each for three meals.

Under the new rule, which revokes that of June 7. no one will be permitted to go to three meals, eaoh officer and man, except those who prefer to take three hours for one meal, being allowed two hours each for two. The hours are fixed as follows: In companies having a total of eleven for duty First sauad, 6 A. M. to 8 A.

three will be allowed two hours each; second squad, 8 A. M. to 10 A. Tour will be allowed two hours each; third squad, 10 A. M.

to 12 four will be allowed two hours each; fourth equad, 2 P. M. to 4 P. four will be allowed two hours each; fifth squad, 4 P. M.

to 6 P. lour will be allowed two hours each; sixth squad, 6 P. M. to 8 P. three will be allowed two hours each.

Those preferring one meal will be allowed three hours (either morning or afternoon), but must be included in the number allowed to go at one time. Companies having less than a total of eleven for duty, will reduce the number on each squad, so as to retain a complement sufficient to properly handle the apparatus. In double companies, two additional will be allowed to go In each squad. Officers and members desiring additional meals during the Intervening time, will bring their meata to quarters. "The purpose of the order," says Chief Croker, "is to give the force an opportunity to attend meals more regularly, and at the same time not to interfere with the efficiency of the department." M0LIPJEUX MOTIONS DENIED.

His Case May Be Heard Before Justice Jerome Argument Heard To day by Justice Beach. Justice Beach in Supreme Court, Manhattan, to day denied application of Lawyer Weeks on behalf of Roland B. Molineux for a writ of prohibition restraining Justice Jerome from going on with the examination of the charge ot murder against Molineux, and dismissed the writs of prohibition, certiorari and habeas corpus granted by Justice Glldersleeve. Justice Beach decides that whatever rights the defendant has acquired under the law, by the dismissal of the indictment by the May Grand Jury, must be determined in the Court ot General Sessions when Justice Jerome sends the case there for a resubmission to the Grand Jury. It was a few mlnu tes after 10:30 o'clock.

tbl3 morning when Roland B. Molineux was taken into the Supreme Court, special term, part II, by Warden Hagan or the Tombs. He was accompanied by his father, General Molineux, and he appeared to be in better spirits than he had at any time in the last month. The writ of habeas corpus and the writ of certiorari were practically one proceeding to obtain his release from prison on the charge of the murder of Katherine J. Adams.

He was committed June 9 by Justice Jerome In the court of special sessions and his lawyer's claim for him that the commitment was illegal and without due warrant of law, as he had been discharged on this same charge by the May Grand Jury. At Justice Gildersleeve's request Justice Beach heard the argument. Some delay in hearing the case was caused by the fact that the District Attorney's return to the writs had not been prepared, but Assistant District Attorney Osborne and Lawyers Weeks and Battle agreed to go on with the argument while awaiting the Teturn. Mr. Weeks made a long argument attacking the jurisdiction of Justice Jerome of the Court of Special Sessions to examine Molineux.

He declared that the dismissal of the indictment by the May Grand Jury should have resulted in the discharge from custody of the prisoner. He quoted the revised statutes to show that a resubmission of the case by a District Attorney to the Grand Jury was a violation of the intent of the law, as well as of a prisoner's constitutional rights, and amounted to persecution. Mr. Osborne replied to these arguments by saying that as the law stands a District Attorney could go as often as he pleased be fore a magistrate with a case. The change of the old law so as to prevent a District Attorney from taking a case repeatedly be fore a Grand Jury was for the purpose of preventing the transgression of a prisoner's rights by repeated examinations before a secret tribunal.

Justice Bush finally closed the argument and asserted that the Supreme Court could not in this case Interfere with the Court of General Sessions PILLSBURY IS FOURTH. Loses to Blackburne in the Chess Tour ney Paired With Jano wski To day. London, June 14 After having success fully survived ten rounds of the International Chess tournament without having once suf fered defeat, Plllsbury was last night forced to resign by Blackburnc, who has so often proved the American champion's stumbling block. By the setback Plllsbury dropped to fourth place, but he, Lasker, Jauowskl and Maroczy are all so closely bunched that the result of any single game may reverse their respective positions. Following is the summary of the eleventh round Lasker, Maroczy, Blackburne, Plllsbury, Mason, Jan owskl, Tsehigorin, Showalter, Tlnsley, Schlechter, Bird, Cohn, Stelnltz, Lee, The fourth pairing of the Bergen system was drawn for the twelfth round this morn ing, the players lacing each otner at noon in the following order: Tsehigorin vs.

Blackburne. Tinslow vs. Lasker. Cohn vs. Stelnitz, Showalter vs.

Maroczy, Janowskl vs. Plllsbury, and Lee vs. Mason. Bird and Schlechter each had a bye. The special feature of the round was the meeting between Plllsbury, the American champion, and Janowski of Paris, who, when in America, challenged the former to a match which, however, was allowed to fall through.

Their game almost monopolized the attention of the spectators, and a big crowd constantly surrounded the board. They were on even tennis when the hour for adjournment arrived. Three games were finished during the first session, ending at 4:30 o'clock. Champion Lasker easily outmaneuvered Tinsley and maintained his lead, while Maroczy disposed of Showalter. the latter Steinitz won from Cohn in a well played game.

In the other games Blackburne has the call against Tsehigorin and Lee should win from Mason.

EI! ME GLOSS IE BEING FOR Each Member Pledged to Secure at Least a Hundred Subscriptions. NATIONAL FUND GROWS APACE. Mrs. Journeay Sends a Check for $50. Philadelphos Council Active Subscriptions to Data.

Many Dewey clubs have been started in different parts of the city, with the idea of increasing the fund which is being raised to chow the Admiral the appreciation in which he is held in this part of the country. member of these clubs has started a list of his own, with the determination of bringing in the names of 100 subscribers at 10 cents apiece. This is really a plan that originated in the Eagle's offer to invite any school boy or girl in the borough or in Greater New who gets 100 subscriptions, to go down the bay and meet the Admiral when be arrives with the Olynipia in this harbor. Over 200 young patriots have called for subscription blanks and are now sending in that the task is easy, as everybody wauts to go down on the list. This has led to tho formation of the Dewey clubs and, in short order, the city is likely to have more of these little organizations than can be conveniently counted.

It is simply another form of showing enthusiasm among the young folks for the great American hero. In the meantime new organizations are being added la the list of these already published who are taking the subscription lists in hand and pushing tho fund. One of the latest of the Royal Arcanum councils to take hold is the Bay Ridge Council No. 1,383, whose secretary, Harry W. Crane, writes that the list has been posted in the meeting room and will be turned in as soon as filled.

J. Edward Swanstrom. chairman of the local committee of School No. 3, said that tho land there was booming right along and lists would soon be ready to be turned in. Every boy or girl who subscribes is expected to write his or her name on tho blank in plain writing, so that the national committee will know jutst where to send the receipt with the engraved picture of the Admiral on it.

Swanstrom said this morning: "Certainly the Dewey fund is taking hold in our schools in a way to show that patriotism is in full sway there. It has been said that such patriotism is encouragement of war. That is ridiculous. All these children are taught how terrible war is and how it should lie avoided, but they are also taught that hen humanity has called for the rescue of a 'ople and justice has occasioned war, then The brave men who fight for the Hag and gain our victories should be rewarded in every way possible by the people for whom they fight. Dewey is not only a lighting hero, but a statesman, a thorough American, and it is a grand thing to cause his name to be deeply engraved upon the minds and hearts of our young folk.

The Hag which is to be presented by the Eagle to the school that main's the best showing, will be dearly prized. I believe, however, that the only fair way to award the flag is upon a percentage basis. That is. let the number of pupils in a school, the regular attendance, be counted, and then lake the number who contribute, what they contribute, and figure out a percentage of the whole. Otherwise there are schools whose contribution would be much larger and contributors mure numerous merely from the fact that there are more pupils attending them.

I believe that Brooklyn will make a brave showing in the number of names which v.ill he in the Eagle supplement and presented to the Admiral when he arrives." Chairman H. A. D. Hollmau of local committee of Public School No. 14 in speaking of the list in that school says: "True patriotic sentiment, backed by the contribution of a dollar or a penny, or if only by a shout of encouragement from the one of those who are unable to pay as they think or feel, and this coming from the pupils of our public schools, In my humble opinion, cannot fail to form a greater or more lasting impression upon the mind and heart of our brave Admiral Dewey than would the plaudit of all the nations of the earth.

The invitation of the Eagle to begin work was nut icinau by the committee of Public School No. 41, a subscription having been on Friday last, beaded by a mod tst contribution from the committee as an incentive to teachers ami pupils to aid the grand fund, and a substantial result will soon be report oj." Here is a letter, which will be appreciated more when it known that, the tir. contribution ma le by the Stale of Kentucky to tile De.vey National Home Fund was 2." ceuiis. Since roeeiving the contribution named, tie editor of Home' and School has resx'inded his demand that the homo to the Admiral shall be next bis office, in Lexington, and has decided to peiwr.it lite Admi al to have It placed where he pleases.

Treasur tS Roberts' mail brought ia checks and cash IDENTIFIED BT TWO. Said to Be the Remains of Franz Peterson, a Sailor. CARL LANDERS HELD BY POLICE. One of the Identifiers, and Is Said to Ba the Last Man Seen "With Deceased. The police are apparently nearer to day to a solution of the mystery of the mutilated body that drifted ashore on Saturday and Monday than they were yesterday.

There have been many new developments that are very interesting. Tw6 apparently positive identifications were made last night. A sailor and cook on the iron ship Othello, now lying at Pier 11, East River, visited the Morgue last night and asserted that the man was Ed ward Johnson, a member of the crew who had been paid off a few days ago. The Othello, Captain Price, master, is from Liverpool, but reached this port on May 9. from Newcastle, New South Wales.

Johnson shipped about one hundred days ago, on the Othello, for a trip to the United States. The men who were so sure of the identification last night were John Wadell, a young sailor from Birkenhead, and James Hagwish, a colored man and the ship's cook. Wadell said that there was no doubt of th. fact that the dead man was Johnson. Th face was one that he was not likely to forget, the nose was so peculiarly shaped that there was not one man in a thousand who had one like it, the stretch of the arms was as great as that of Johnson, but above all the tattooed crucifiv on the arm, which wa3 different in pattern from that on most sailors, was one that he was not likely to forget.

The police thought that this Identification was more promising than any other. Waddell and the cook were closely questioned by Detective Sergeants Murphy and Delahanty and they were impressed with their honesty in the matter. An Eagle reporter saw them on the vessel and discovered what appeared a. defect ia their identification from( the fact that they agreed that the murdered man's ears were pierced. The body at the Morguei has not pierced ears.

Another partial identification was that of Mrs. E. C. Smith of 1,973 Second avenue, Manhattan. She is the wife of E.

C. Smith, who Is now employed by the. contractors who are changing the motive power of the Third avenue railway in Manhattan, but he was formerly a seafaring man and sailed In many ships with a Swede named Franz Peterson. Whea Smith became mate of the three masted schooner Pharaoh, Captain William Taylor ot Barnegat, master, he engaged his friend. Franz as a sailor before the mast.

Mrs. Smith sailed with her husband and on one occasion acted as cook during the illness that functionary. Peterson acted as her aid on more than one occasion and she had seen him with. hh sleeves rolled up when he was helping her. She noticed the fact that his arms were covered with hair and that he had the tattoo mark which has been described in the newspapers.

Mrs. Smith went to the Morgue last night and positively identified the body as. that of Franz Peterson, who she said, she had lost track of for some time. There was a singular confirmation of tbia identification shortly after noon at the Morgue. A man who said that he was Ernst Egstxom, a clerk, of 299 Third avenue, called at the Morgue shortly after noon and looking at the body said that he was positive that the.

dead man was his friend, Franz Peterson, a bailor and a Swede. He said that he had n6t seen tho man for years until Thursday last when he met him by accident and spent most of the day with him. When he was questioned her declared that he did not know Mrs. Smith. or her husband, but that he knew Peterson very well.

"That is Franz's body," ho declared, looking down at the remains. "I would swear it, for I knew the man so well. I met him, the first time in years on Thursday JasL Wei met on the way down to the race track at Sheepshead Bay. He was going to the races, too, and he was well fixed, for he showed a roll of bills and, I think, told me that there were between $175 and $185 in tho wad. Wo went in at the field where the charge is but 50 cents and then we had several drinks.

Peterson had been drinking and he began to show it. He bet recklessly, but he was lucky, and at the close of the day, had nearly $2S0 in his clothing. After the races he went over to Coney Island and had more to drink Peterson still had considerable money when I saw him last. I left him with two women and he wa sstill drinking and spending his money. That was late on Thursday night.

I have not seen him since, but I am positive that this man in the Morgue is Peterson." Two detectives took charge of the man and they have gone away with him to verify if possible certain portions of his story. If, he is telling the truth it would seem as if the police were in a fair way to learn something about the dead man. The theory that he was murdered is still pooh pooed by the police, but if Egstrom's story is true it may be that thejr will change their belief. There were points about the story told by "Egstrom" that puzzled the police and led' to tne suspicion tnat the man was in the employ of some newspaper. He finally admitted that his real name was Carl Landers of 234 East Twenty fourth street, Manhattan, and.

that he had concealed his name because he did not want newspaper notoriety. Captain Reynolds decided to hold the man until he could give a better explanation of tho case. According to his statement he was the last person who had seen Peterson alive and it was "up to him' 'in the parlance of the police to give a better account of himself. Detective Officer Donovan was sent to the office of the District Attorney and soon returned with one of the assistants. If the legal authority of the county consents Landers, who is still in custody, but not under arrest, will be held.

While Landers was held in the captain office E. C. Smith, tho husband of the woman who had made the identification earlier in tho day. called at headquarters. He had been St the Morgue and he, too, was positive In hfs identification of the body as that of Franz Peterson.

He said, when confronted by Landers, that he did not know him. RELIEF IS iN SIGHT. Mr. Moffett Promises Dyker Heights People Plenty of "Water "Within Two Weeks. A few days ago a complaint regarding ln sufficient water supply was forwarded by Bor ough President Grout to Deputy Water Sunf ply Commissioner Moffett.

This morning My'. Grout received a letter from Mr. Moffett, In which the latter said: "Replying to your commuication of June 9. 1899, respecting complaint of W. H.

Parkinson, Second avenue and Sixty fifth street. Brooklyn, of lark of water. I beg to say that the Dyker Heights section has been without water from 7 o'clock in the morning to 8 in the evening for several days past, and complaints have reached this office from a number of the residents regarding the same. The Dyker Heights section is on the distributing system supplied by the New Utrecht pumping station, and. being nt a higher elevation than the rest of the territory supplied by the said station, the residents thereof are tho last to get water.

In order to help these people I have made an order and have sent out a circular letter, a copy of which I inclose herewith and which explains itself. In addition thereto we expect that Mr. James P. Graham, the contractor to whom was awarded the contract for laying the sixteen inch distributing main through Avenue and Eighty sixth street to Twenty fifth avenue, will commcr work on Monday next and complete the in from ten days to two weeks. WJ main Is laid there will be no furti or complaint from Mr.

CLARK'S ENTRY THE FAVORITE. Banastar, Candlehlack and Jeannot to Carry His Colors Recent Fast Trials of Candidates.

Either eighteen or nineteen lithe limbed thoroughbreds, fit to run for a kingdom, aro expected to face the starter in the Suburban, which will be the racing feature at Sheeps head Bay next Saturday afternoon. Only three days Intervene before the running of this, the second of the classic spring events of the Eastern season, and horsemen throughout the country are watching the performances of the probable starters with interest equally as keen as that manifested in the Brooklyn Handicap of a month ago. Of course, the W. H. Clark entry will he favorite.

Beside Banastar, which won the Brooklyn Handicap, Mr. Clark has Candle Black in the race, a3 a second string to his bow. While this horse seems to havo little chance on form to win, he has shown considerable early speed, and will be invaluable to his stable mate as a pace maker. Bannockburn, on his late showing, has gained a number of friends and but for the fact that H. Martin will be in the saddle he would be a greater factor.

Briar Sweet, Walter Jennings' great mare, which last season showed her heels to all of the good handicap horses, at all sorts of distances, will be heavily supported. Her owner has 'kept her for the Suburban, confident that she has the ability to win. Old Ben HoJladay also may be a factor. His good work on Monday, with weight up, entitles him to consideration, and he will probably get it from the public. Report says that George Keene Is in fine fettle.

His work yesterday, in a fraction over 2:10, and done rather easily, shows good form, and he will probably have backing all three ways. Tragedian will probably start, but on form is not much of a factor. Warrentou's late races have been exceptionally good, and he also will have some backing. Bangle is said to be better than ever before. Previous, Imp and Box are all doing good work, and will be backed at least for place and third.

Jefferson will probably be a rank outsider. This, however, does not indicate that he has no chance to win. The Beard horse, a day or two ago, turned a pretty mile in 1:41 and looked as if he could go the other quarter just as fast. If he can do so, It will take a record breaking performance to beat him. Flligrane yesterday worked out In and seems to have a royal chance.

He will havo good backing at comparatively short odds. Jeannot showed good form the last time out, and will be the third string to the Clark bow. With 95 pounds up, the sluggish racer should have a royal chance If he gets off well and gets going quickly. Banastar was yesterday worked out at Gravesend between races, and turned the distance in a traction over 2:08. St.

Cloud has not shown much, but yesterday galloped a mile in 1:46. There is a chance that Star of Bethltfhem will start, if a good rider can be obtained. Of course all of the horses which now seem probable, may not face the flag, and there is a possibility that there will be one or two added starters. The probable starters, age, weight and jockeys, as they appear to day, are as follows: Name. Age.

Gravesend, June 14 Four thousand people took the journey to the Gravesend track to day, drawn by what looked to be a fine card for speculative purposes.

(Special to tho Eagle:) State Camp, Peeksklll, N. June 14 Sun browned, travel stained and war worn tho men of the First Battalion of the Twenty third marched into camp again at 11 o'clock this morning, after a record breaking movement. The sun was blistering hot and the dust almost knee deep, but the men kept up a rattling pace for nine miles. They got away from the terminus of their trip, Lake Osca wana, at G. 45; reveille called them up shortly after all tents came down at the sound of the bugle, breakfast was ready on time and the homeward march hegun.

Colonel F. M. Hoffman, state inspector, who had accompanied the battalion in an official capacity, was first to herald the merits of Major Case's column. For days nothing had been heard of tho scouting party. It was feared that it might have been lost in the mountains.

No one expected the battalion to get back before long in the afternoon. Colonel Hoffman announced that at the pace set early in the morning they should reach camp about noon and it was ah hour before that time when the yells of the Third Battery men from Battery Hill told that the battalion had been sighted on the Roa's Neck road. Colonel Smith, with Adjutant Wingate and other members of his staff, was well In advance. Chaplain J. Lindsay Parker, whose corpulence was somewhat more pronounced than that of the other officers, was dripping with perspiration and as grimy as a coal cart man.

He was enthusiastic over the result of tho march out. He thought it was preferable to the monotonous stay in camp and believed the men had gained lots in practical experience. Colonel Hoffman was complimentary in his references to the experiment. The only critical feature, he said, was the tardiness with which the men pitched their tents. On the whole he thought the experience most valuable.

Dr. Parker is going out this afternoon with the Second Battalion. The heat was almost intolerable on the way back, but not a man fell from the ranks and all were fresh as daisies when they reached camp in spite of the dirt. The ambulance was empty. A minor battle problem was carried out to day on the return march similar to the one executed yesterday.

GOSSIP OF THE STATE CAMP. Mint Juleps a Specialty With Soldiers. Guard Running at Midnight and Its Dangers. Stato Camp, Peekskill, June IS Some of tho men have discovered the beds of wild mint bordering Annville Creek. The manufacture a julep the true julep toned down so that the flavor of the mint'is slight, requires science.

Several officers, however, have learned to brew juleps after the most approved Kentucky recipe. A choice picking of mint sprays had been brought up to Luxury Row that section of tho camp Inhabited by General Roe and his staff. "You can't make a julep without claret," said the major. The colonel laughed. "A drop of claret would spoil the best Julep ever made," he said.

"What do you use?" asked the major. For reply the group was Invited in and a demonstration of the manufacture of this Southern specialty was given. Ice crushed this was the first component then a sprig of the tenderest mint bruised until its fra grance, had permeated the contents of the glass, a lump of crushed sugar not the pulverized or granulated variety then sufficient whisky to allay the insipidity of the mint and water, a good stirring, then the decorative feature of a shoot of mint in each side of the glass, set to one side for a moment to allow thorough assimilation then quaff. Thus were the officers instructed in the elementaries of julep culture. This promises to be the favorite camp beverage.

The camp photographer is an institution at Peekskill. He has found profitable material in tho men of the Twenty third, taking them In groups before their tents, in companies drawn up in regular formation, and singly in poleonic pose. It is impossible, of course, for tho friends or tho families of many men to come to camp. The popularity of this camp photographer Is not due, of course to any innate pride in the soldiers. It is simply their desire to gratify friends who wish to know how they appeared in camp.

The Third Battery had its picture taken after a two hours' drill. The horses were flecked with foamy sweat and the artillerymen begrimed with dust, and this dust at Peekskill is just now the worst feature, until the command had tho appearance of regulars just out from a terrific charge. They sat on their steeds like true horsemen, the bugler placed his instrument to his iips, all men looked serious and war worn, and the camp photographer was told to act. Captain Rasquin, who has been 111. was not in the picture.

On the first exposure several officers wero In th rear. They moved forward when the second was made and assumed heroic poses. During the past few days this photographic concession has proved a veritable Klondike. If you visit camp and land at Roa's Hook don't bo alarmed on the way up at the uncanny noises issuing from the woods. Let the clarlouetlst of Squadron A's band practice on unmolested.

He has a habit, in the late afternoon, of testing his wind and his low notes. To the initiated these low, isolated ejaculations from his lute would suggest the presence of some wild animal, but lot him be. After the prelude this lone musician rhapsodizes and wanders off into solos accentuated with all kinds of frills and furbelows. He gives snatches from Schubert's serenade and the sextet from "Lucia," improvising variations most marvclously. This Orpheus of Battery Hill Is a master of low, lugubrious notes.

A number of the finest trees about the reservation are for what reason only the barbaric taste of some rude ur banite can account but they are whitewashed, not to kill any pestiferous germs, hut simply to add beauty to their trunks. To this artist who would paint the lily, however, the escape of a daring private in the Second Battalion ot the Twenty third is attributed. He had been out beyond limits after taps, with several companions, and was going in to make a' try for guard running. It was a bitter fate which came to his companions. They were arrested and marched away to the guard house, along with eighteen other unfortunates who had been bagged for a similar offense.

The fact that lie had on white trousers occurred to this young man. The line of demarcation between his trousers and his blouse coincided with the coating of whitewash on a tree near by. Happy thought! The soldier backed against the tree. The sentry passed and was some distance away when he saw what appeared to be half of tho bedy of the big chestnut tree dash off at a rapid pace. Sentries will hereafter observe more closely these tree trunks with white trimmings.

A dog on the skirmish line would be rather a novel sight in battle, but if tho Twenty third is ever in war and the same canine camp follower now haunting its ranks is on hand the enemy will have a unique foe. This dog. which has been dubbed by some of tho men "Fighting Joe," attends all skirmish drills. The men declare that he can distinguish the different commands. At any rate Hho animal executes all the extended order stunts with the men, keeping up a continuous harking and howling furiously on tne charge.

eral public Is being felt for the first time. The Second National Bank of Elmira informed the committee to day that it would have no trouble In raising a large sura in that neighborhood and the Third National Bank of Cincinnati forwarded a check for $25. A draft for $250 was received by the Dewey Home Committee from Charles R. Flint of New York and another for $100 from A. J.

Cassatt, the new president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Henry Clews of New York sent the Germanla Savings Bank of Pittsburg contributed $20 and the People's Savings Bank of Detroit gave a like sum. Two contributions of $5 each were received from W. P. Venable, ex lieutenant in the Third Virginia Volunteer Regiment, and from John Hawley of Brooklyn, private secretary for the Firtt Assistant Postmaster General.

This excellent showing has put a final quietus on the efforts of certain newspapers, who have been endeavoring to discourage contributions to the fund. The. committee believes that the public is now assured of the fact that Admiral Dewey win gladly accept the house and the offerings will come in rapidly. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE FUND. Mrs.

Before dark last night the Fourteenth Infantry swam the Zapote River, charged and carried the trenches, heavy fusilade of artillery preparing the way and covering the crossing.

Almost at the same time the Ninth and Twelfth Infantry crossed a bar of the sea and came upon their left flank at a point where a body of marines with Maxim guns landed under protection of the ship's batteries and fired upon the enemy's left rear with a demoralizing effect.
