MADRID, July 5.-Private dispatches
from Santiago give the following de-
tails: Gen. Skaters army, composed
of 1000 infantry and 50 siege guns of
various caliber, attacked the Spanish
positions before Santiago, 5000 rebels
under Garcia assisting them. The
Spauiards had only 1000 men, partly
volunteers Our troops fought with
heroic courage. The battle lasted
three hours and the Spanish
were then compelled to abandon
the trenches and to fall back
on Santiago. The retreat was
conducted in perfect order. Our losses
were very heavy and the enemy's was
enormous. The list of our wounded
includes Gen. Linares, Col. Ordonez
and Majs. Amadrid and Arraiza, the
latter being Gen. Linares' aide-de-
camp. The American attack upon Ell
Caney was very severe The position
was defended by Gen. Veraderoy with
500 men. The enemy was at first re-
pulsed, but ultimately renewed the
attack.

Sampson's vessels, the Hist, was struck
II times and another the Hornet,

out of danger by the Wamatuck. Ad-
miral Sampson sent the Hist the Hor-
net and the Wamatuck to Manzanillo
to destroy four Spanish gunboats,
which the admiral had been informed
were lying in that harbor. Instead of
finding only that array of fighting
craft, the American vessels encoun-
tered, in crescent formation, nine ves-
sells, including a torpedo boat and
a cruiser. They also found them
selves fianked 10y land batteries,
while heavy battery of field ar

In his annual report the state geolo
gist of Indiana says that the residents
of that state are drawing on their re-
sources of natural gas with lavish
hand They not only waste the gas
in their furnaces, CRATES and stoves,
but they allow 2OOOo,OOO and more
cubic feet to escape daily, because
they are too indolent to cap the wells
which have been bored for oil. He
estimates that at the present rate of
consumption the store OF gas cannot
last more than five years, while it
would not be surprising II it failed in
one year.
