The Spanish batteries remained silent.
I is doubtful whether the Spaniards

the movement owing to the dense fog
and the heavy rain. Suddenly the Iowa

base OF the Estrella battery and tore up
the works. Instantly firing began from
the Sampson and Schley columns. and a
torrent OF shells from the ships fell on the
Spanish works. The Spaniards replied
promptly, but their artillery work was
of poor quality. and most of their shots
went wide. Smoke settled around the
ships in dense clouds, rendering accur-
ate aiming difficult. There was no

the day closed officials OF the navy
partinent were about ready to admit
that Sampson had made strong attack
upon the Spanish forts. The one point
upon which they maintained their conii-
dence was that no troops had been
landed. They were prepared TO admit
that Sampson might be clearing the way
with his big guns for the landing of
troops, or that some marines had been
landed temporarily. but that army forces
had been put ashore they would not ad-
NIT, as no information had reached the
war department of the departure of the
soldiers from the gulf ports for Cuba.
1t is not denied however, that every
effort is making TO put the troops into
Cuba at the earliest possible moment.
Judging from the newspaper reports
OF the breach Sampson has made In the
coast defenses, there Is every reason -
believe that little dffflculty will be found
IN the actual debarkation OF the troops.
particularly &c marines are already
ashore TO guard the landing. A sus-
plcion is entertained In some quarters
that Sampson was hastened In his move
ments at Santiago by the news OF the
intended departure OF the troops from
Tampa. and made this attack In order
that the navy alone might have the
honor OF effectlng the first occupation of
