The San Francisco call., 1898-06-17

While our vessels were thus engaged the enemy be- gan to fire from the south side of the bay, near the town of Caimanera. The guns Of the MarbIehead were trained in that direction and the firing from the land was SilenCed in short order. The Marblehead did not cease firing as soon as the enemy did, but kept banging away until heavy damage had been done in the town.
 This bombardment lasted an hour and half and our ships then steamed back into the outer bay, having silenced the forts dDOul OdllIld1l61d.
 As the American vessels re- turned toward Camp McCalla a submarine mine came to the sur face close to the Marblehead. Captain McCalla shouted to the Smith and other boats in the Vi cinity, warning them to look out. He sent a launch to capture the mine.
 After the mine had been re- covered and while it was being lowed by a boat from the Mar blehead, the Americans were again fired on from the shore Two hundred yards away they saw the enemy huddled together in some brush. The Marblehead's S launch returned the fire and the Suwanee swung alongside and drenched the woods where the Spanish were with a hail of lead.
 During this skirmish the launch from the Marblehead did fine work. Her one-pounders threw out shells so rapidly that one of the men and one of the guns fell overheard. The man was rescued.
 The St. Paul, which was an- chored outside the bay during the bombardment, became in volved i'll an engagement with a body of Spaniards who had taken position in the woods within rife fire. The St. Paul poured out heavy fire from her small guns and put the Spaniards to flight.
 Marines on the outpost of Camp McCalla this morning saw man in the brush waving a handkerchief. They started to investigate and the man ran away. He presently plucked up courage and returned. He was found to be a Spanish soldier. After he had surrendered he told an interesting story. He said he was one of twenty men sent around the mountain to surprise the men on the Marblehead. He had been for forty-eight hours without food or water. He be- came disgusted with his lot, he said, and decided he could be no worse off with the Americans than he was with the Spaniards, so he decided to surrender.
 After eating like a wolf, he said he was one of many young Spaniards who had fought in the war, having been drafted. Upon reporting for army duty, he con- tinued, he found there was little food for the soldiers, that they

ON BOARD the Herald-Call Dispatch-Boat Sommers N. Smith off Guantanamo, June Is, via Kingston, Jamaica, June I6, It IS evident that the Spaniards do not intend quietly to abandon the positions they took when the American marines were landed on Cuban soil six days ago. They have been driven inland day af- ter day, but are assembling addi- tional forces every hour and are preparing to make a fresh as sault upon the American de lenses.
 The Spanish gunboats in the inner harbor have been hard at work carrying troops across the bay to surround our men. This work was watched from Camp McCalla by the American off cers. It continued all day. As soon as the Spanish soldiers were landed on the eastern shore they vanished in the woods. There is little doubt that these troops are being sent to common rendez- vous for a concerted attack against our forces, either in mass or by night surprises.
 The defenses of the camp are being strengthened hourly. Lieu tenant Colonel Huntington evi- dently expects fighting at close quarters, for when I left his camp he was sharpening his sword on a grindstone.
 The activity of the enemy led to several engagements during the day in Guantanamo Bay. Early this morning a considera- ble number of Spanish soldiers appeared on the western side of the harbor and were about to be ferried across to the eastern side on the gunboats that had been anchored in the inner harbor. This movement was anticipated by Admiral Sampson, who sent the Texas to join the Marble head and Suwanee at this point.
 When the Spaniards began the work of transferring their men across the inner bay the Texas, Marblehead and .Suwanee steam ed to the mouth of the inlet and opened a lively fire with their heaviest guns at a range of 500 yards. The first shot fired by the Texas was answered by the Spaniards in the fort, who put a shot between the Texas and the Marblehead. They then sent an- other shell across the bow of the Marblehead, narrowly missing the American. Four more Span ish shots struck the water near our warships during the next ff- teen minutes, but after that time nothing more was heard from the enemy's fort. The Spanish troops and gunboats were out of range, so the movement toward the ma rines' camp could not be stopped by the warships.
 Shot after shot sent by the American vessels hit the Spanish fort, however, near the entrance to the inner harbor, and the building eventually was completely demolished. The mortality among the Spaniards must have been very great.

 MADRID, June 16.-A curious rumor is current here regarding the reserve squadron at Cadiz. It is that not only is it's sailing delayed on account of the ships not being ready but also because Admiral Camara, who commands it, has been acting very strangely of late This news is kept officially as secret as possible, but officers at Cadiz have noted it and talked over the matter quite openly

deep, depending entirely on
healthy condition of all the vital

affected, you have pinched look.
Secure good health and you will
surely have good looks. Electric

that he is dreaming, and that he will
