four feet in diameter. The hemp rope was
cut through tc the wood and the stout
oaken prism was shivered to splinters. This
one fact alone would be sufficient to give an
jectileS.
Showers of steel splinters, resulting from
the exploded shell itself and the torn stanch-
ion and angle irons, swept along the star
heads of bolts, breaking gun fittings and
stripping off the paint as if a score of men
had worked for hours with steel chisels.
Every man in its path was wounded. One
gunner was hit with no fewer than fifteen
pieces Of steel, each about the size of a
hazel nut. At the moment the shell ex-
ploded one man was standing right in its
path. He was literally blown to fragments.
He was talking to a comrade, and, strange
as it may seem, the latter, although less
than arm S length away, was unhurt, save
for being knocked down by the shock of the
explosion. Others of the men, thirty feet
the shell plunged into their bodies
A remarkable feature of the explosion was
the smallness of the pieces into which the
shell burst 1t shivered into fragments
weighing about an ounce The only piece
of any size picked up was rather less than
half the base, just enough to enable it to be
ascertained that it had been six-inch shell,
fired from a high-power, breech-loading gun
and exploded by percussion fuse fixed in
the nose.
When small six-inch shell is sufficient to
cause all the havoc which l have endeav-
ored to describe one stands appalled, at the
thought of what will be the fate of ship
that is hit by huge twelve or thrteen-inch
shell filled with high explosives If the peo-
pie who clamor so loudly for war and pirate

MADRID, July 5, evening, via the from
tier, July 6-The enthusiasm aroused by the
misleading dispatches to the Spanish gov
eminent from Cuba is changed to-day into
the wailings of the families of the victims
and lamentations over the national disaster.
The ministers are crestfallen and are still
concealing the worst. The extremity of de-
spair, rage and recrimination prevail among
the population, and the authorities are
adopting strong precautions, fearing popu-
lar outbursts. Marshal Martinez de Cam
pos has been foremost in the endeavors to
prevent disturbances.
A government crisis is imminent. and it is
regarded as probable that Senior Silvela or
Marshal Martinez de Campos will succeed
Senior Sagasta as premier and propose peace
in order to prevent the Americans from at
tacking seaboard cities of the peninsula and
running Spain.
The palace is strongly guarded and the
Queen Regent, who is described as being in
consolable, is receiving the sympathy of the
sensible portion of the population There
is no Disgusting the fact that grave forebod-
ings are heard as to the future of Spain.
The tone of the general public may be
summed up in the remark frequently heard:
God alone knows what will happen"

SPANIARDS INDIFFERENT.
Many Are willing to Surrender-LuH
in the Fighting.

BEFORE SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 4,
per the Associated Press dispatch boat
Dauntless, via Port Antonio. July 5, via
Kingston, July 6.-Not a shot has been ex-
changed between the opposing armies since
yesterday noon. At the request of the for
eign consuls in Santiago de Cuba, General
Shafter extended until tomorrow the period
in which General Linares may agree to sur
render his forces, under the threat that the
town will be bombarded. The Spanish gen.
erals decision is doubtful. 1t is unquestion-
ably true that the humiliation of Cervera's
fleet was a staggering blow to him, but Mr..
Ramsden, the British consul, says General
Pando has reinforced General Linares with
five thousand troops, and that the Spaniards
are bitterly determined to fight it out. He
said that so intense was the feeling among
the Spanish subaltern officers that General
LinareS would probably be shot if ne sur
rendered. Their attitude was expressed in
General Linares'S reply to General Shafter
yesterday: This garrison dies. but never
surrenderS' Among some of the soldiers,
however, different feeling must prevail.
They have ascertained from the experience
of the inhabitants of Siboney that American
soldiers do not ravish women, but respect
property and relieve prisoners in distress.
Many of the Spaniards, therefore, are now
utterly Indifferent if further misfortune be-
falls the Spanish army.

ing About Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, July Sup to this mo-
ment no overtures for peace have come to
the government of the United States from
any European nation. The same statement
applies to the Pope. 1t is recognized in Off
cial quarters that Spains present condi-
ton is so desperate that it is altogether
likely she will put forth her best efforts to-
wards securing peace, either directly or
through some nation willing to speak for
her. The wiping out of Cerveras fleet
leaves Spain in condition of marine impo-
tence and, moreover, it is felt that the in
ternational conditions of Spain will become
chaotic when the Spanish people realize the
extent Of the terrific blow just given their
navy.
Inquiry at the British, French, German
and other embassies and legations shows
that no peace movement is on foot among
the great powers of Europe so far as has
been disclosed to the representatives of
these powers here. 1t is the general impress
sion in diplomatic quarters that the ami
hilatiOn of Admiral Cerveras fleet makes a
peace movement opportune and 1t is ex-
pected that Spain herself will take the ini-
tiative. When asked how Spain could con-
duct direct negotiations for peace. one of
the best-informed diplomatic representa-
tives said that it might be done through
the Pope. as this might excite less irrita-
ton than an overture from power viii IN

hind it. There is no intimation however.
that Spain has taken this STEP through the
Pope or otherwise.

been due to Schley that the credit be given
him by Sampson. but he believed the latter
would yet do justice to the commodore.
Mr.. Hale expressed great confidence in
the character and ability of both Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schey, and said
the conduct and achievements of Schley
during the historic battle had been most
admirable. He felt assured that the little
agitation concerning the bestowal of credit
would disappear in the full light of the
facts There was, he said, glory enough for
all in the destruction of Cerveras fleet and
he had no doubt it would be properly dis
tributed.
Mr.. Allen thought at least a few days
ought to eapse before action was taken
upon the resolution, and it was referred to

PANIC in SANTIAGO CITY
FOREIGN CONsULATES BEsIEGED
WITH PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO LEAVE.
Stories Told by Refugees who Were
Taken to Jamaica on War Ships
Cervera's Flight Caused Dismay.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 6-Thousands
of people met the launches of the English
and Austrian war ships at the waterside
at Santiago, and when the foreign residents
learned that passengers would be taken off
the English and Austrian consulates were
besieged by hundreds imploring a chance
to leave One Spanish merchant, in a pitt
able state of alarm, offered the British con-
sui, Mr.. Ramsden. $4,000 in gold TO desig-
nate him as British Cuban worthy to be
taken away Those brought to Jamaica
came in the clothes they stood in, some
even with absolutely no kind of baggage,
having thought only of escaping with their
lives.
The noncombatants in the city were in a
state of desperate panic. Miss Ramsden,
the British consuls daughter says the
American shells flew around their house on
Saturday and Sunday morning. Mr. Rams
den could not leave Santiago and his wife
would not. The report was that the city
would be bombarded yesterday, beginning
at 10 o'clock in the morning or at noon.
The reports varied.
No one seems to know accurately the
strength of the Spanish forces in the city
and its environments, but 5000 appears a
probable estimate of those fit for duty.
Streams of wounded have been flowing in
day and night from the firing lines Every
fifth house in Santiago is an improvised
hospital.
The sailing of Admiral Cervera's fleet had
a. bad effect on the soldiery. They were dis
mayed when they saw the war ships no
longer in the harbor and felt themselves
abandoned to fate. They interpreted it to
mean that Admiral Cervera and General
Linares considered the city could not be
held. The destruction of the fleet was not
known when the Alert and PallaS left, but
was rumored Though the city.
1t is understood here that an officer of the
Vizcaya, in civilian dress. who had been
on shore duty, came on the Alert. which Is
still at Port Royal. The captain of the
