More Than a Hundred Killed
on the Field or Died Of
Their Wounds.
PERCENTAGE VERY LARGE
Number of Our Men Engaged
Was Less Than Twelve
Thousand.
Great Loss of Officers, Due
Mainly to Their Bravery
and Dash.

BEFORE SANTIAGO. July 8. via Kings.
ton, July 6.-The fighting during the
last two days has cost the American
army 100 men. This estimate is
made by the surgeons at division head
quarters after careful figuring by the
surgeons at the hospital. The list of
wounded as made up at the division
headquarters is very large in proper
ton to the list of those killed outright.
Probably less than 100 all told of the
number of wounded have died, making
the total number of deathsin the neigh.
borhood of 100. The remainder Of the
Wounded VIII Probably Recover.
Considering the fact that not over a.
100 men were engaged on our side, and
not all of these were actually under
fire, the percentage Of loss is very
heavy. The slaughter was brought
about mainly by the gallantry with
which our troops advanced into the
open ground in the face Of a heavy fire
from the Spanish intrenchments and
rifle pits. Our men generally had an
opinion that the Spanish could not
shoot, and, it must be confessed.
thought they could not fight. Both
impressions were erroneous, particu.
larly the latter. The Spaniards have
fought with
Great Determination and Bravery.
The returns show that number Of
regiments suffered heavily, the Sew.
enty.first New York being the worst
cut up of the volunteers and the Thir.
tenth and Sixth regular infantry suf'
fering most among the regulars, with
the Seventh and Sixteenth regiments
close in the race for glory. In some
companies Of the Thirteenth regiment
one.third OF the men are gone and
there are companies in that regiment
now entirely without officers. In the
Sixth more than one.third Of the Off.
GERS are gone, only one ield officer,
Major Minor, being left.

THE CAPTURE OF THE COLON
Spanish Cruiser Chased for a
Distance of Sixty Miles.
Is NOT SERIOUSLY DAMAGED
After Being Struck Several Times She
H"" Ashore and Hauled Down
Her Flag.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 4, via
Kingston, Jamaica, July CATER a
chase of 60 miles to the westward, the
Brooklyn, closely followed by the Ore
gon, overhauled the Cristobal Colon
after she had run ashore and had
hauled down her flag. Captain Cook
of the Brooklyn went on board OF her
and the commander Of the Spanish
armored cruiser came forward to- sur
render and was taken on board the
New York, which came up an hour
after the Brooklyn and Oregon had
completed the capture of the Crlstobal
Colon. The latter was not seriously
damaged, though she was struck sew.
eral times by shots from the Brooklyn
and Oregon.
SohIey's Clever Vancouver.
During the chase clever maneuver
of Commodore Schley's in heading duo
west to Cape Caney, while the Oristo'
bal Colon had taken q more southerly
direction with a much greater dis tance
to cover, rendered the Spaniard's es.
cape impossible. There seems to be no
doubt that the Cristobal Colon and
perhaps the other three Spanish ar
mored cruisers would have escaped had
it not been for the prompt action of
Commodore Schley. The Brooklyn,
his flagship. alone was IN q position to
attack tho Spanish vessels as they left
the harbor and tho commodore steamed
directly towards them and engaged all
four cruisers, inflicting great damage
upon them.
Poured in n Deadly Fire.
The Oregon was the first to join the
Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa.
Indiana, Texas and Vixen closed
around the spaniards, all pouring in
deadly fire, but from the beginning to
the end of the fight the Brooklyn, Ore
Ron and Gloucester took the most i'm.
portant part in the destruction Of the
enemy.
One man, George Henry Ellis, was
killed on board the Brooklyn. His
head was blown off by shell. One
other man, J. Burns, was injured on
board of her.
The Brooklyn was struck half a
dozen times, but no injury was done to
any of the other American ships.
