Before going to SEA Sthe following story
of the bombardment. of Santiago was OBJ
tanned by your correspondent at the
Mole:
The American squa dron, augmented by
the torpedo boat Porter, an auxiliary
cruiser, and the pro. .ecter cruiser New
Orleans. approached The entrance to the
harbor of Santiago at about 1870 D. m,
the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance Of the harbor was
seen one of the warshiIls of Cervera's fleet
stripped for action.
As the Americon fe ct DIRE wnear the
New Orleans was deta ched and steamed
forward ahead Of the Iowa. Texas and
Massachusetts One Of 5the forts opened
fire on her and she replied, the other two
ships directin gthe fire atg the pottery on

the Spanish ship. The lttter replied to
the fire and Immediately became the tar

She retired behind a protesting bulk

engagement.
The Iowa, directed by NCaptain Flight

tain F. ]. IIigginson; the Texas, Captain
j. w. Philip, and the New Orleans, Cap
tain William NJ. Foger.s kept up their
terrific fire against thee Moro, Socapa
and Punta Gorda forts for two hours,
their projectiles. of enormous size, doing
tremendous damage to'the4 defenses of the
harbor.
The masonry of Socapa land Moro was
battered almost into dust, and the forms
Of Spanish artillerymen and infantry
could plainly be seen flying to safety be-
hind the neighboring hills
The auxiliary cruiser which Joined
Schley's fleet just beforevthe battle took
place was hit by shells from the forts
and it is thought She was tseriously dam
aged.
After seeking the protection Of a jut-
ting headland, the Spanish warships con-
tinued 10 fire projectnes over the hills
toward the fleet but they had no range,
not even direction to their shots, and the
shells fell +armlessly into the sea.
That the number of killed and wounded
on the Spanish side is enormous no one
doubts for time and again the American
shells hit the batteries squarely- and amid
the flying masonry flying forms were seen.
The damage TO the American fleet can
not be learned but it is not believed any
person was killed-if indeed anyone was
wounded.

in the sensational Tobey-Palmer dam
age suit, in which z. w. Tobey claims
$4,000 from DR.. Palmer for alienation
of his wife's affection, is ON the in
crease.
The courtroom is daily packed with
curious spectators. DR.. Palmer's un-
usual friendship with Mrs. Tobey has
been testified to by number of wit.
nesses but direct evidence of anything
serious has not been offered
Several very damaging letters have
been introduced by the prosecution,
and expert witnesses attributed their
authorship to DR.. Palmer. They vera
addressed to Mrs. Tobey and insinuate
that Palmer's wife, although now look
ing healthySmight not be in that con-
dition in one year from now. Although
appearing strong, she might gradually
grow weaker and weaker.
The object Of the prosecution in in.
Producing the letters was to show up
Palmer in the light of desperate GRIM

least in making a profound sensation
The inference they gave was that his
knowledge of drugs gave him the pow
er Of making himself free, and that
his inclination was to do so.
The case was carried over from
Saturday night until Wednesday, when
the arguments will be made.
