MARYLAND NV MARYLAND.

| Three cheers for Maryland.
1t was Schley's victory. Schley is a
son of Maryland, and Maryland is
proud of her son.
The destruction of Cervera's feet
was even a greater victory than that
of Dewey. Pitted against Schley were
the finest battleships in the Spanish
navy, they ranked with our own ships
in destructive possibilities, yet the
American record stands one dead, two
wounded.
1t speaks wonders for the handling
of the ships of Uncle Sam, and reflects
discredit upon the handling of the
ships of Spain.
History has no record of such mar
Vicious victories as those of Dewey and
Schley. The power of the modern
navalfighting engine is no longer a
question of doubt. 1t has been dem
onstrated that their destructive posi-
bilities are wonderful, but it has also
been demonstrated that there must be
brain and heart thrown into the work
of guiding and handling the ships, to
make them answer the demand and
be capable of doing that for which
they were designed.
Cervera's attempt to escape was
magnificent effort, but the odds were
against him. He was overwhelmed in
numbers, yet had this not been the
case, destruction awaited him. though
it might have been a few hours de-
layed. Matched ship for ship his fleet
would have been destroyed. The fir
ing from the American ships was adj
mirable and terrific, the replies from
Cervera's ships were impotent With
fewer ships, with which to do battle
the Spanish gunners might have done
greater damage, but that they would
finally have been compelled to sue
cumb to the superior gunnery of the
American ships there cannot be a
doubt.
Cervera's dash was for liberty or
death. He found Schley awaited him,
and ready to give him battle. The
result was only what was to be eX-
pected, utter humiliation.

Death List Numbers $50.

The fighting during the last two
days has cost the American Army
1900 men in killed and wounded. This
estimate is made by the surgeons at
division headquarters after careful
figuring by the surgeons at the hos
pitfalls.
The list of wounded. as made mp at
the division headquarters, is very
large in proportion to the list of those
killed outright.
Probably less than 100, all toId, of
the number of wounded, have died,
making the total number of deaths in
the neighborhood of $50. The re-
mainder of the wounded will probably
recover. Considering the fact that
not over 10000 men were engaged on
our side, and that not all of those
were actually under fire, the percent
age Of loss is very heavy.
The slaughter was brought about
by the gallantry with which our
troops advanced into the open ground
in the face of a heavy fire from the
Spanish entertainments and rifle pits.
Our men generally had an opinion
that the Spaniards could not shoot,
and many, it must be confessed,
thought they could not fight. Both
impressions were erroneous, particu-
larly the latter. The Spanish have
fought with great determination and
bravery.
The returns show that a number of
regiments suffered very heavily, the
Seventy-first New York being the
worst cut up of the volunteer regi-
ments, and the Thirteenth and Sixth
regular infantry close in the race for
glory.
In some companies of theThirteenth
Regiment one-third of the men are
gone, and the rear companies in that
regiment are now entirely without Of
| ficers.
In the Sixth Infantry more than
one-third of the officers are gone. only
one field officer, Major Minor, being
left.

SECOND DAYS FIGHTING.
SIMPSONS Fleet Attacked the HarbOr Bat
teries as the Army Advanced on the
City.

City.
SATURDAY, July I'd, WITH THE
ARMY, NEAR SANTIAGO, cable from
Playa del Este )-Undaunted by the
terrible and bloody reception they
met with yesterday, General Skaters
men at day5reak Saturday morning
resumed their fierce assault upon the
Spaniards in Santiago.
They pressed forward to the attack
with energy. Cheered by the advan-
tages gained yesterday, and with
their enthusiasm not at all checked
by the destructive work done by the
Spanish shells in their ranks, our
men moved with grim determination
Less than a mile lay between them
and the city's inner defenses. To the
northeast American troops were
pressing in between Caney and San
tiago, and to the south of other divi-
sions, of General Skaters army were
advancing steadily upon the city.
Between the two lines the main body
of the army was advancing, steadily,
against the middle eastern section of
the city lines.
Of Santiago the flame-clad fleet
was laundering against the harbor
batteries. Every ship in Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet was engaged in this
work of destruction. Mountains of
great white smoke, rising high above
the vessels in the fleet, showed how
holly the American gunners We're at
work
By land and sea the American forces
followed up yesterdays assault in
whirlwind fashion. Onehalf of the
forty-eight hours desired by General
Shafter in which to capture the city
had expired.
The Thirty-Third Michigan vOlun-
teers, who We're brought on the aux
Hilary cruiser Harvard, and who were
taken near to the front on a train,
were not long in Cuba before receiv-
ing their baptism of fire. Barely had
they begun the ascent up the noun
tain path near Aguadores when they
were fired upon by a masked battery.
One of the shells did fearful execution

and wounded Those known to have
been killed were John II. Franklin,

ed were Frank Lawson, of Lawton.

d. A. Stark, of Ann Arbor. and Cliff
ford H. Curtis. The Michigan troops
were not able to carry their move to
success.
In Yesterdays engagement the OBJ
servation balloon used by the army
rendered good service, disclosing the
enemy's position and gaining much
valuable information. The balloon,
at which the enemy fired repeatedly,
was finally split by shrapnel.

Too much must not be expected OF
the army before Santiago. The odds
are ten to one against it, and the fact
that it has advanced and driven the
Spaniards into the city is an achieve
ment that must not be underesti-
mated. We have an army before
Santiago that is not larger, if as large
as that which is defending the city.
We are attempting to dislodge an
army that has been for weeks pre-
pairing for the struggle, and which,
consequently is strongly entrenched.
In addition we are fighting with men
unseasoned to the terrible climate of
Cuba, and the struggle is against men
who have become seasoned. We are
fighting through brush and over land
that is absolutely unknown to our
men, while every inch of it should be,
and likely is we'll known to the Span
ish forces. Our men fight through
the terrible heat of the morning to be
drenched to the skin by the afternoon
rain. We have been unable to gel
our heavy guns into action while the
Spaniards have been supported by
the great guns of Cervera's fleet. We
have been compelled to take the posi-
tions we could find, the Spaniard'
have had weeks in which to selecr
the strongest points from which t.
make defense.
Under the circumstances we have
made great progress and our loss ha
