we have not taken Santiago yet.''
Here is a description Of the scenes after
the battle:
'"This was Saturday, the day after the
big fight, and the road was busy both
ways. From the front the heavy, jolting,
six-mule ammunition wagons were re-
turning empty after dropping their boxes
of cartridges at the firing line. J.
T But not quite empty, for as they came
nearer you saw that awnings of big palm
leaves were lightly spread from side to
side. And then, when, with a 'Whee hoo
yah! and a crack of the long whip and
a Git in thar, durn YER from the Texan
teamster, the mules swung round from
the road up the steep bank into the hos
pital field, you saw as the wagon tilted
that under the palm leaves, pale, BAN
daged men were lying. They groaned in
agony as the heavy springless wagons
rocked and jolted.
For Gods sake kill me out of this,
screamed man as he clutched in agony
at the palm leaves between him and the
sun. 1t seemed awful that wounded men
should be carried back in such fashion,
but then, as some one explained, Guess
there's considerable shortage of ambu-
lance traction And then there was a
certain grim appropriateness to the pro-
ceedings of yesterday.
"Our men had been fired as ammunition
against lnCrenchmentS and positions that
should have been taken by artillery. It
was quite in keeping that the poor, bat
tered. spent bullets should be carted back
IN the ammunition wagons.
But besides the wagons there came
along from the front men borne on hand
filters, some lying face downward, with
ing at intervals in awful commissions 9th
ers lying motionless on the fiat of their
backs, with their hats placed over their
faces for shade. And there also came
men, dozens of them afoot, painfully
imping, with one arm thrown over the
shoulder of a comrade and the other arm
helplessly dangling.
How much further to the hospital,
nedghbor? 2 they would despairingly ask.

But the ammunition wagons and the
few ambulance wagons did not carry them
all. For hobbl.ng Gown the steep bank

There no longer remains doubt but
that Captain Gaines cavalry troop will
go to Manila, and the most definite
knowledge as to the time of embarka-
ton is that it will be contemporaneous
with the sailing of General Merritt, IN
der whose command the troops will
make the expedition.
1t is not positively known whether or
not the troops horses will be shipped
with their masters, but General Mer-
rift today dropped a word that locked
favorable to this. Speaking Of the
need of shoes for the steeds, the gen.

cause the shoes will all have TO be

and Captain Caine will tomorrow ac-
cept w. j. Barnett of Salt Lake, who
followed the troop hither. This will
make total of 81, leaving is yet to

Dozens of California men have begged
Captain Caine to take them, and many
of them were perfect, physically, had
been in the regular service, were in
every way well fitted and had big pulls,
but in spite of all this the captain
stays with his first intention, and will
take no recruits except from Utah.
Lieutenant Kimball and his assistant
will very likely finish their recruiting
in two days, and start back with the
lucky ones on Wednesday, June Is. Cap
tain Game has sent copies of his orders
to the quartermaster of the department
Sf the Colorado, who will at once fur
nish subsistence and transportation for

promised the cavalry captain to help in
arranging recruiting quarters, which
will be at some convenient office down
town in Salt Lake. The boys will not
go into camp there. No more horses
will be taken.

Utah artillery battalion. The coin was
all hot from the mint. AT shutdown
the guards were the only men in camp,
and they were planning what to do

nevertheless, they did not forget the
folks at home, for $3.50 was deposited

the members of Battery B. In addi-
ton to this, each man deposited 81 to
swell the battery fund, which raises
it to 1881.
The work of preparing the batteries
for embarkation was completed re-
and the troops are ready to march at
a moments notice. The guns have
been taken from their carriages and
prepared for being mounted on the

REPUBLICAN REUNION.
Action In Oneida County, Idaho,
Causes Much Discussion.
Especial to The Herald.

(SpScldI 10 Inc 11Sfdl1-j
Pocatello, Ida, June THE reported
reunion of administration and silver
Republicans in Oneida county has
caused much discussion among local
politicians. Mckinley Republicans are
jubilant, and predict that silver Repub-
Hcans all over the state will come back
to the fold. The prospect, however,
seems poor here. Your correspondent
today interviewed a dozen leading silver
Republicans in this county. All secuted
the idea of a return to the goldbug
ranks or the possibility of any union
with the national Republicans. They
also called attention to the fact there
never were many silver Republicans in
Oneida county, nor was there any eff
fective party organization in that
county. While it is admitted that a
few committeeman in Oneida may have
been induced to return to the old party,
it is confidently asserted by silver Re
publicans here that the alleged reunion
is more apparent than real, a-ld that
the silver Republicans, when it comes
to election day, will be found to have
lost no votes in that county.

DEPARTURE OF MONTEREY.
Second Expedition VIII Not Sail Be
fore Saturday.

San Francisco, June THE principal
event in the local war situation today
was the departure of the monitor Mon
terey and the collier Brutus for Manila.
The order to get under way was issued
about l O'Clock, and shortly afterward
the wharves and docks on the wafer
front were crowded with people anxious
to witness the departure of the formid-
able fighting machine and the collier
which is to accompany her.
Every steam whistle on the water
front blew a farewell. and as the two
vessels moved down the harbor toward
the Golden Gate the crowds on the
wharves set up a mighty cheer. The
Monterey has always been a great local
favorite, but the prospects are that
she will never again enter this harbor,
as she is to be permanently stationed in
the vicinity of Uncle Sans colonies in
the east.
Nearly $4,000 was paid out today to
the volunteers from Pennsylvania and

shell, which struck the base of Estrella
battery and tore up the works. In
stantly firing began from both Admiral
SIMPSONS and Commodore SchleyS
columns, and torrent of shells from
the ships fell upon the Spanish works.
The Spaniards replied promptly. but
their artillery work was of a very poor
quality, and most of their shots went
wild. Smoke settled around the ships
in dense clouds, rendering more difh-
cult the work of the gunners. There
was no maneuvering of the fleet, the
ships remaining at their original sta
tons and firing steadily. The squad
rons were so close inshore that it was
difficult for the American gunners to
reach the batteries on the hill tops, but
their firing was excellent.
Previous to the commandment, orders
were issued to prevent firing on MORO
Castle, as the American admiral had
been informed that Lieutenant HObson
and the other prisoners of the Merri-
mac were confined there. In spite Of
this, however, several stray shots dam
aged MORO Castle somewhat.
CAUSED GREAT HAVOC.
Commodore schley's line moved
closer inshore, firing at shorter range.
The Brooklyn and Texas caused wild
teries, quickly silencing them.
While the larger ships were engaging
the heavy batteries, the Suanee and
the Vixen closed with the small inshore
battery opposite them, raining rapid
fire shots upon it and quickly placing
the battery out of the fight.
The Brooklyn closed to 800 yards and
then the destruction caused by her
guns and those Of the Marblehead and
Texas were really seen. The Estrella
Fort was burning and the battery was
silenced, firing no more during the en-
gagement. Eastward, the New York
and New Orleans silenced the Cayo
battery in quick order and then shelled
| the earthworks, located higher up.
Later, the practice was not so ac-
curate, owing to the elevation of the
guns Many of the Shells however,
landed, and the Spanish gunners re-
tired
Shortly after the firing ceased, the
warships turning in order to permit
the use of the port batteries. The firing
then became 81 long reverberating
crash of thunder and the shells raked
the Spanish batteries with terrible eff
feet. Fire broke out in Catalina fort
and silenced the Spanish guns. The
firing of the fleet continued until l
o'clock, when the Spanish ceased firing
entirely. and Admiral sampson holSted
the cease firing" signal.
Generally the fire of the fleet was
very destructive. Many of the earth
works were knocked to pieces and the
Estrella and Catalina Notifications
were so damaged that it is questionable
whether they ever will be able to renew
any. effective work during the war.
After the fleet retired the Spaniards
returned to some of the guns and sent
u shells after the fleet. But no one
was injured. One large shell fell close
to the collier Justin.
Throughout the entire engagement
