GENERAL SHAEER INSpECTS HI9
LINE OF ATTACK
The Dynamite Gun in the Center With
Sixteen Siege Guns on Either
Side-Cuban Bravery

CHICAGO, July 1O.-A special cable to
the Tribune from Siboney. Cuba, dated
July 8, says:
Gen. Shafter today expressed himself as
satisfied with the preparations that have
been made for the attack upon Santiago.
He carefully inspected the lines and ap-
peared to have entirely recovered his
health. He certainly was in good spirits.
He presented commanding appearance as
he rode the lines, seated on a large bay
horse the one which first conveyed him to
the front, after the landing of the troops
at Baiquiri and soon after the ambuscad-
ing of the Rough Riders. The general will
not see his headquarters on the seguranca
again until the city of Santiago has been
captured.
Garcia and Rabi now occupy positions on
the right of Lawton's division.
Sixteen large siege guns have been
placed in position on the right of Ell Paso.
They were placed there only after hard
work has been put in In roadsteading to
these places. The roads have been in a
most frightful condition, but the members
Of the Seventy-first New York and Forty
fourth Michigan have worked manfully,
and they were soon got into such q condi-
ton that 1t was possible to move the heavy
pieces over them with comparatively little
difficulty.
In the center of the line is the dynamite
gun of the Rough Riders, which is in charge
of Hallet Alsop Borrowe of New York,
and which was temporarily disabled dur
ing the fight of a week ago. In addition,
there have been placed on the right eight
mortars. which are capable Of most deadly
execution. The enemy Is to make an at
tempt to enfilade the trenches. 1t has been
discovered that opposite the left wing of
the American army three Spanish guns
have been placed. These will have sweep
at the position of the Second United States
infantry, but the Spanish gunners will be
picked off by the American sharpshooters,
who have been instructed to give their en-
tire attention to them.
Acts of bravery on the part Of the Cubans
continue. Thursday night party of them
entered the Spanish lines on the west Of
Santiago and seized CATTLE which they cool
ly proceeded to drive of. The animals
were slaughtered for the Americans and a
milch COW was presented to Gen. Shafter.
The program for the attack is under
stood to be naval bombardment from a
position off Aguadores. 1t is said that there
will be no infantry charges.
There is a report that the feet will enter
the harbor proper and proceed to shell the
town in short order.

ne Leet at tnlS time mad resumed its
station and the vessels began rapidly to
close in toward the mouth Of the harbor,
concentrating fire at long range upon the
enemy.
All Looked Alike to Them
There was no doubt the enemy was COM
ing out. There were several anxious mo-
ments before 1t could be determined wheth-
er the Spanish admiral would order his
fleet to dispense and attempt to break
through the blockading squadron or would
keep his ships together, The leading ves-
sci had changed her course to the west
when second vessel appeared. followed
shortly by the Cristobai Colon. The Colon
was easily identified because her mast was
between her smokestacks. The other
ships could not so easily be identified as
the Vizcaya, the Almirante Oquendo and
Infanta Maria Teresa had the same ap-
pearance.
Why Cervera Went West
Meanwhile the fleet approached the
mouth of the harbor, and when the fourth
vessel appeared and turned to the west 1t
became evident that Admiral Cervera had
reconnoitered the field and selected the
west as the weakest part of the blockade
because the strong eastern current had
drifted the heaviest ships to the east Of
their customary positions. The western
portion Of the blockading circle was de-
Tended by the Vixen and Brooklyn. The
Brooklyn headed north, apparently intend
ing to intercept the head of the enemy's
column. AS the leading ships of the en-
emy's column appeared the western bat
terry opened a heavy fire, apparently d.
rected at the eastern and central ships of
the blockading squadron. At 10 a. m. the
Brooklyn was nearest and engaged the two
leading ships, which were close together,
with an interval of three quarters of mile
between the second ship and the Cristobal
Colon. At 1905 the Brooklyn turned with
a port helm making the complete turn to
the east, SO that she was again heading
west. The enemy's leading ships were on
her starboard quarter and the fourth vessel
was coming up astern rapidly. At this time
the Vixen was west of the leading ship and
was steaming on parallel course.
Positions in the Chase
For the next fifteen minutes the Brook
Ign received and returned the fire of the
two leading ships and an occasional shot
from the CrlStODal Colon. AT 1O:3U the chase
was we'll formed, the positions being as
follows: The enemy's ships in column be-
tween Cabanas and Guayacabon, the
Brooklyn steering parallel course mile
distant with the Oregon two miles SOUTH
east. The other American vessels were
obscured by the smoke.
"At 1898 the Iowa and the leading ships
of the enemy were close together, Just
clear of the Brooklyn's bow, as viewed
from the Vixen, the Cristobal Colon gain
Ing speed and closing up. 1t was apparent
that the leading vessel was disabled and on
fire, as she dropped rapidly astern. She
apparently headed for the shore Off Juan
Gonzales.

On the Republican side of the house

Kent county. They claim that they

express some doubt as to Kent.
Republican leaders, both Union and

that if it can be done it will be accom-

They give very little credit to the
knitting scheme, and say that there

They further said that the full vote
registered would not be polled, and
this held good in every county in the

With only twenty-four hours between
now and the opening of the polls for one
of the greatest political battles ever
waged in the history of Delaware, it is
somewhat difficult to give an accurate
forecast of the result.
This is made all the more harder from
the fact that the leaders Of both PARTIES
Democrat and. Republican-are claiming
all three counties in the State.
The fight in New Castle county, as far
as the Democrats are concerned, appears
to be hinged on only one candidate, and
that is CORTLAND G. Montgomery, for Re-
corder of Deeds. With the Republicans
claiming the county by from s0oto 100
majority it is an unknown quantity
how this one result can be accom-
pIished.
A careful canvass shows that although
the Democrats are making some sort OF
fight for the Legislature their whole
h"pe, evidently, at this time. is to secure
the Recorder OF Deeds Office.
They claim that they will have enough
Republicans to split their ticket, knife
Delaware Clark, the Republican nomi-
nee, and assure the election of Mont
gomery.
At late hour last night it was stated
that the Democrats had succeeded in
buying off the Single Tax vote in the
Fifth Legislative District of Wilmington
hundred. 1t was also asserted that the
Single Takers had sold out in every dis
trict in the county. A number of promi-
nent Single Takers were seen in refer
ence to this matter but they, of course,
denied the imputation and claimed that
they would poll the full party vote for
their own ticket in this county.
The allegation was also made that the
Single Takers would again vote for Hon.
L. Irving Handy for Congress. AS they
have no candidate Of their own this
sounds plausible, but some of the Wind
lords interviewed said that this was also
false, and that their vote would be nearly
evenly divided between Handy and
Hon. John H. Hoffacker, the Republi-
can nominee for Congress. The Demo-
Gratis seen naturally denied that any such
deal had been thought of.
