Two Thousand Spanish Prisoners

Heavy Execution.

General Shafter said to the Asspc;ated
Press correspondent at his healauar-
ters:
I'VE have Caney in our possession and
the whole crest of the plateau at
Caney. We have taken some 1000
prisoners on this side of Santiago. Gen
eral Lawton is moving to the left to
join the line with General Wheeler.
The Spaniards have been driven back
into the city and tomorrow we Will
take and enter it."
This statement was fully confirmed by
what the correspondents had seen a
half hour before from Captain Crimes
artillery position, which was still the
best point of vantage from which to
correspondent stood on the summit be-
hind the cannon that had 74re~. such
gallant execution during the day. our
infantry, in possession of the block
house opposite our original center, We're
yet persistently and cheerfully popping
away at the Spaniards, who were
skulking behind the lesser entrench-
ments and the refugees between them
and the city. 1t appeared when dark
ness came that not a Spaniard would
be found outside of the city proper in
that particular vicinity.
Most noticeable was the lack of any
responsive fire from the Spaniards,
further evidence, added to that of the
afternoon, that their ammunition was
greatly reduced. AT this time, all the
firing has ceased on the right of our
position and General Lawton's artillery
is already moving past Caney.
The troops have advanced nearly to
the city, but the Notifications are very
strong
Our losses are heavy. An officer from
the field estimates our killed and
wounded at over LOCO men. She.:s.
supposedly from the Spanish fleet, did

During a lull in the fighting an i'm
pressive incident occurred The
Twenty-first Infantry was out in front,
and suffering loss from the Spanish fire
but the men sung The Star Soangled
Banner, even the wounded joining in
the singing.
AT y p. m. the fighting had practically
stopped. 1t will be resumed in the
morning. Our troops have gained -ev-.
eral breastworks, and have advanced
nearly to the city They encountered
a barbed-wire fence eight feet high.

TRAIN HOLD-UP IN TEXAS.
Express Safes Blown Open and
Contents Carried OF.

ST. LOUIS, July "A special from
Dallas, Texas, to the Post Dispatch
says:
General Manager Thorn of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad to-day made the
first statement about the train rob-
berry on his road near Stanton last
night.
six robbers. all masked except the
leader, tagged our No. 3 westbound
express at 10 O'Clock last night ten
miles west of Santon, on the staked
plains between the Colorado and Pecos
Rivers, one of the most desolate spots
on the line.
''The robbers covered the engine
crew with Winchesters, cut the express
car loose, forced the trainmen to move
it onto q sidetrack, and then blew it
up with dynamite. Nobody was hurt.
but the car was wrecked The robbers
then blew up the through safe, wreck
ing it and badly damaging it's contents.
What money was in the safe they took.
Mounting their horses they rode away
to the southwest.
Il have no way Of knowing what the
express company's loss is. The amount
may have been large. and it may have
been small The Pacific Express Off
cials alone know the amount lost. This,
however, is not the season of the year
when railways make their heaviest
money shipments. We did not know of
the robbery in our general offices here
until after office hours. and we are in
formed that three pursuing parties are
after them.

of killed and wounded first made by
General Shafter was more likely to be
under than over the real loss, as the
dense growth of chaparral in which the
American troops fought made it we'll
nigh impossible at first to learn the ex-
tent of the loss.
An impressive seriousness pervaded
the military centers. The news that
our gallant men had pressed their way,
foot by foor, up to the commanding
plateau of Caney was welcome indeed ;
but there was now the full realization
that this had been done in the face of
a whitening fire. Instead of a skirmisi,
on the right flank as the reports yes
terday indicated, it was now clear that
general engagement, and terrific
one, had been fought under the burning
tropical sun and in the tangled vegeta-
tion northeast of Santiago.
General Miles and his staff were to-
gether in the Generals office early in
the day. Spread on the Generals desk
was a map showing in minutest details
every roadway, trail and elevation
about Santiago The General traced
the line of yesterdays operations and
the probabel line of action now in prog
tional from the field. He spoke grave
ly Of the fierceness of yesterdays fight
ing. From a strategic point of view,
General Lawton's taking of Caney yes
terday gave an elevation on the right
wing, serving the double purpose of di-
verting the enemy from the left and
opening a way to our left wing, and
also of giving our troops a more COM

defenses. Incidentally, it accomplished
the important purpose, at least to some
| extent, of preventing Pandos coming
down with reinforcements from the
north and turning our right flank.
The deepest suspense existed
throughout military and official circles
as the day progressed, and no word
came from General Shafter. At 2:3O
o'clock when a round was made of all
the points of the War and Navy De-
partments, where dispatches are usu-
ally received, nothing was forthcom-
ing as to the situation on the field
Adjutant General Corbin. to whom
the first military reports are submit
ted, reiterated what he had said earlier
in the day, that nothing came from
Shafter since o'clock this morning.
The officials We're not even aware
whether the battle itself was in prog
ress, As far as the information received
to-day was concerned. The lack Of re-
ports was attributed mainly to the fact
that General Shafter was so thoroughly
occupied with the imperative duties of
the hour that there was scant time or
opportunity for giving the detailed
progress of his movements
The Secretary of War remained at
the White House some hours. and did
not return to the War Department up
to late hour this afternoon. The Navy
Department was also lacking in any
specific information of the situation
around Santiago, although there, too,
was the deepest anxiety and suspense
over the condition of affairs.

American Losses Much Greater
Than at First Supposed.

WASHINGTON, July 2. - The pro-
foundest concern throughout military
and official circles marked the opening
of the second day upon which the bat
tie of Santiago is being fought. The
desperate character of the fighting is
now fully known to the War Depart
ment The information is in addition
to the report made by General Shafter
last midnight, when he roughly esti-
mated his casualties as above j0o.
Later reports. official and direct from
the field. indicate that this estimate
was far too low. General Shafter had
not. up to IL o'clock this morning
placed any exact figure on his loss, but
he made it clear that his first estimate
at 400 was much short of the actual
loss.
Owing to the many conflicting re-
ports of the Losses of the American
troops in yesterdays engagement it
has been thought best by the War De-
partment to make public the text of
General Skaters last dispatch, which
was received this morning at 4 o'clock

FALL OF SAN JUAN HIGHTs.
Was q Glorious Victory, but
Dearly Purchased.

NEW YORK, July "A copyright
dispatch to the Evening World" dated
I'm the field, two miles from Santiago.
July 1st," and cabled from Playa del
Este, says:
San Juan nights have fallen. and the
way is now opened for an advance on
Morro Castle. 1t was a glorious vic
tory, but dearly purchased.
The place was the strongest Spanish
outpost, well fortified and valiantly
defended. The position was an excel
lent one. San Juan hill is steep, and
an artillery battery was located on it.
1t was also occupied by barracks and
other buildings. But the American
troops stoTmed the nights, and the
Spanish valor had to yield to the bull
dog tenacity and courage of the Anglo
Saxon. AS I write our troops are
swarming up the hill and covering it
like ants. The Spanish are demoralized.
The fighting has been of the hardest
kind and our troops have suffered se-
verely, but the enemy's works are i'm
their hands. and they do not count the
cost.

disposed of.
Mr.. Freedman refuses either to affirm
or deny the story, and Baby Anson
was equally uncommunicative.
According TO the persistent rumor which
is heard all over the sporting section of
the greater city today. Anson is to try
his hand against covering the first land
battery, in addition to managing the
team. 1t is known that Anson said be-

would accept the management of the
Giants.
Speaking of the Giants. Anson said,
that. though he had not seen them play
this year. he judged from the scores of
their games that they We're playing good
ball. and would not have any trouble in
staying in the first division of the League
race.
Anson declares he can play ball as we'll
now as he ever did, and that he is anx-
fous to show this to be the case
