CUTTING OF THE WATER.
Engineering Corps Succeeded in This
Daring Enterprise Not Losing a Man


The New York Suns correspondent at
Sibony gives the following graphic ac-
count of the way the Americaei divert
ed the Spanish water supply 10 their
own use:
SIBONY, CUBA, June 1.-THE city Of
Santiago and the Spanish forces within
the Notifications are now virtually at the
mercy OF the American invaders. This
is due to the fact that the city's water
supply, aside from that furnished by
cisterns, has been cut of, and the sltua-
ton of the Spaniards rendered more des-
perate than ever. There have been no
rains of much consequence here of late,
and the:water in the city c4sterns must
be very low II not altogether unit for
drinking purposes.
The important and hazardous move
ment Of depriving the enemy OF water
was completed at an early hour this
morning by a detachment of the engineer
ing corps. who were protected by large
body OF insurgents and American troops
from General LawtOn's command.
This force had on Sunday advanced TO
within three miles of the walls OF the
city, AID from the spot where they had
encamped, which was on high piece Of
ground. an excellent view was obtained
Of the entire city.
Shortly after dark on Sunday night a
number Of Cuban scouts moved cautious
~ forward TO within two miles Of the
city. They saw countless camp fires
glimmering behind the lines Of rifle pits
q. mile from the city which lay In dark
ness beyond. Two and a half miles north
Of General LawtOn's camp the pipe line
that carried the water 10 the enemy was
discovered.
The Cubans knew That this was the
only adequate water supply that the
Spaniards had, and some Of the scouts
at once returned and reported the find
ing of the line.
IL was at once decided TO cut the pipes.
not only for the purpose OF creating
water famine In the besieged city, but
also TO give the American troops a plen-
tiful supply OF water close at hand.
1t was an extremely dangerous move
ment, and IL II had not been conducted
cautiously might have resulted in heavy
losses as there Is no doubt that
the Spaniards would have fought des-
perately to prevent their water supply
being cut on. II was. therefore. late in
the evening when the work began under
