thus far, rs the department. has II, t
received the report showing the exact
condition of our ships after the battle.
In the meantime, the Associated Press
interview with Captain Robley Evans,
OF the Iowa, leads the naval officials
to believe that the Iowa will require
considerable overhauling before she
is ready for trip across the ocean.
According to Captain Evans story of
the battle, the Iowa was struck twice
by Spanish shells, and one she'll OK
ploded, while the other is embedded,
unexploded, near tho water line of
the ship. This last shot may prove
troublesome, as an unexploded shell
near the water line is not desirable
adjunct to battleship. From the
light manner in which Captain Evans
speaks of the damage, it is not rs
garded as very serious by the officials
here, yet it is probably enough to
keep the Iowa from accompanying
the Eastern squadron to the coast Of
Spain. A decision as to whether she
will be withdrawn will not be made
until the report is received on the
condition Of the ship.
Either the Massachusetts or the
Indiana viii be substituted for ii @
Iowa, if it be found necessary 70
make change. Either of them is
as formidable as tho Iowa. Their
four large guns are of the I3 inch
type, while those Of the Iowa are 12-
inch. III other respects, their bat
teries are similar to the Iowa's. They
are commonly regarded as rather
better seagoing ships than the Iowa.
The department has not decided to
increase the number Of Watson's
ships, as has been reported, as it is
felt that the list announced yesterday
is quite ample to take care of Ad
miral Camara's squadron now re-
turning hastily to protect the coast
OF Spain. Camara's only armored
ships arc the Pelayo and Carlos V,
the former of 5000 and the latter
5000 tons. They are outranked in
every point by the ships of the Amer
ican squadron-armor, armament,
speed, size and number of guns and
general effectiveness.

THE BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.
An Intcresiing Incident Related by II
Wounded Omcer

Tampa, Fla, July G.-The stoam.
ship Mascotte arrived here tonight
with a number of those wounded ct
the battle Of Santiago. Among them
was Captain j. B. Kerr, second squad
Sixth cavalry. His left arm is in
sling, as a Santiago memento. Ho
tells a graphic story Of the bravery
of the American soldiers who forced
the Spanish trenches in the face of
a seathing fire. He gave the loss
Of officers as forty per cent. of the
total, and stated that whenever a
man exposed himself wearing shoul-
der straps he was shot down by tho
Spanish sharp shooters at mile
and half as though he were but that
many rods.
The negro troops who went over
there are said to havo fought like
demons, and being in front were cut
down rs if moving machine had
been run through their ranks. The
use of the Springfield rifles by the
volunteers with the common powder
was tho cause of much American
loss, as it constantly betrayed their
position to the enemy. The volun-
teers' and artillery fire attracted Il
shower of lead which apparently
came from clear sky, as tho Span
iards fought from behind deep tron-
ches and used smokeless powder
Their we'll directed volleys were re-,
markably effective and covered the
field with dead and wounded. Tho
forts wore we'll protected and strong
ly fortified. Captain Kerr estimates
tho loss at 500 on each sido. He
anticipates tho capture of the city
even in tho face of tho Pando re-
inforcements, but thinks it will be
somewhat delayed.

Chickamauga Park, July 8.-The

is practically completed. All the

in today, with exception of pistols
for the non commissioned staff and

deficient in now are blue shirts and

The drill in the manual of arms is
still the principal part of orr work.
Dress parade yesterday afternoon,

the first day that the guns were
used. The Minnesota officers came
over in body last night with their

port of Admiral Corvora to General
Blanco on the disastrous naval fight
off Santiago. It is ns follows:

Playa dol Este, Guantanmo Bay,
July SO p. MA Spanish soldier,
terribly emaciated and SO weak that
he could hardly walk, was picked
mp by men from tho United States
gunboat Annapolis to-day, at
point near tho entrance to the upper
bay. He had no rifle, for he wastoo
weak to carry It. According 10 his
story there are many Spanish soldit rs
in Guantanamo IN tho same condi-
ton Of starvation, Ho says there is
absolutely nothing to cat there, but
that the Spaniards are daily told that
If they surrender to tho Americans
they arc sure to DO murdered.
A captain and three privates from
Baracoa came into the bay to day
in a small sail boat and were picked
up by the cruiser MarbleheaG. They
wero ostensibly greatly surprised
and claimed not to have known that
the bay was in tho possession of tho
Americans. They report that there
is great scarcity of food at Baracoa
and that tho Spanish troops there are
in bad shape.
Over 10000 rations for rcconcen-
trados have been landed across the
bay by Commander McCalla, of tho
Marblehoad, and tho half-starvcd
Cubans arc flocking in fI.m tho hills
for food.

HOSTILITIES RESUMED,
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SANTIAGO HAS
BEGUN.
forai VIII Not Surrendcr--Tho Spaniards
op"ned Fire Sunday Afternoon; but
thelr Guns Were Soon Silcnced
by tho American Fire. Gen
Shafier's Forces Sufficient.

'"ohiheo'oh, oulJ w.. 4he DOln-
bardment of Santiago has begun"
That was the verbal information
obtained this evening shortly before
8 O'Clock at the war department.
Almost Immediately three bullo.
tins were posted, the most important
Of which was from General Shafter.
This dispatch announced that Gen.
eral Toral who succeeded General
Linares in command Of the Spanish
forces in Santiago when the latter
was wounded had declined to sur
render Internationally, and that the
bombardmont Of tho town would be
begun by the army and navy about
4 o'clock this afternoon.
The fact that the bombardment
was scheduled by Shafter to begin
late IN tho day created somo com
ment, but no explanation of it was
offered.
Information received by the war
department during tho few days of
truce indicates that Shafter has ma.
terially strengthened his position.
During the past week ho has receiv
ed reinforcements Of both artillery
and infantry, Randolph's battery
Of twonty-four guns, which left Key
West last Tuesday at midnight, is
now in position before Santiago, and,
as ono of tho war department Off
Gals Expressed it: "When those Long
Toms OF Randolph begin to talk,
something will happen in Santiago"
General Shafter has nearly fifty
siege guns and n large number of Z
inch mortars, besides Lighter artil-
lery, at his disposal. The guns,
taken in connection with tho work
that can be done by the fleet, will, it
is believed, carry terror and destruo-
tion to Santiago.
Anxiety had been expressed by
the war department officials as to
whether General Shafter had suf-
ticient force to prevent the evacua-
tion of Santiago by the enemy. This
anxiety was alloyed about half past
II tonight by the receipt Of tho fol-
lowing dispatch from General Shat
ter, which contained confirmation,
too, of the earlier reports of the be-
ginning of the bombardment:
Playa del Este, July lotto Ad-
j"tant General, Washington: Enemy
opened fire fcw minutes past 4,
with light guns, which were soon 81
lencod by ours. Very little muskot
ry firing, and tho enomy kept entire
ly in their entrenchmonts. Three
mon were slightly wounded. Will
have considerable forces tomorrow
enough to completely block all the
roads on the northwest. am quite
we'll.
(Signed.j SHAFTER.
Tho belief is held by the best in
formed officials that General Toral
the Spanish commander, will surren.
dor when be finds it will be impos,
sible for him to evacuate the city
Upon what ground this belief is based
could not bo ascertained, but that
information to that effect aais in the
hands of tho war officials there is nc
doubt.
General Shaftor's dispatch tonight
shows that he is engaged now ir
strengthening his position, and to
morrow will follow up his operations
with final assault upon the city.
