News Slowly Coming In
WASHINGTON. July 2.-rhe deepes,
suspense existed throughout military and
official circles as the day progressed and nc
word came from General Shaftsr. Al 2:30
o'clock. when a round was made Of all the
points of the War and Navy departments
where dispatches are usually received, roth
ing was forthcoming as to the situation ON
the field.
AdJu,ant-General Corbin. to whom thu
first military reports are submitted. reit.
Grated what he had said earlier In the day.
that nothing had come from Shafter since
o'clock this morning. The offictalp were
not even aware that the battle itself was In
progress so far as the information received
today was concerned. The lack of reports
was attributed mainly to the fact that Gem
eral Shafter was 80 thoroughly occupied
with the imperative duties Of the hour that
there was scant time or opportunity for
giving the detailed progress Of his move
ments.
The Secretary Of War remained at the
White House some hours and did not rs-
turn to the War Department up to a late
hour this afternoon. The Navy Depart.
ment was also lacking in any specific in
formation Of the situation around Santiago.
although there, too, was the deepest anxiety
and suspense over the condition Of Affairs.

CUBAN WAR RELICS
Major Prado's acknowledgements
Battle Flag

KEY WEST, Fla, July i.-Maj. Laur1-
ano Prado. just back from an adventurous
trip In Cuba. was showing his silver.
handled machete to q reporter In q Cuban
shop in this city the other day. The re-
porter asked him II II had ever killed any
body and he answered: NO" Thereupon
the proprietor of the shop said: It'll show
you machete that has killed a man." He
went into rear room and reappeared di-
rectly with q machete evidently made at
the same factory as Prado's. He held the
blade up to the light. There was = dark
stain on the steel for some twelve inches
about the middle Of the machete. That
Is the blood of a Spanish captain" the
proprietor said, proudly.
Cuban war relics are IN great demand
Just now, and II the Cubans were less con-
scientious they could do q big business in
selling machetes used by Maceo, buttons
from the uniforms of Gomez, spurs worn
by Garcia. and so on. The Cubans have
been shown the way how by the sale of
bogus Maine relics. The amount of verdi
gris-covered cartridges sold ~ ammuni-
ton recovered from the wreck Of the Maine
would fill the magazines Of several war
ships. The fraud became so open down
here that Maine relies now find no sale at
all. The war relic hunters importune tho
Cubans for machetes, some that have Z
history" The machetes used by the In
surgents are made in Connecticut, and any
one can buy them in New York. II the
relic hunters insists on having "historic''
machete the Cuban will get one for him to
satisfy him. but he does not encouraee the
fraud.
Maj. Prado brought back with him Gen.
Pedro Betancourt's battle nag. hand
some one. made by the patriotic ladies Of
Cardenas. 1t had been through two fights
and was once struck and torn by Mauser
bullet. The rent had been carefully
stitched, and this work Of repair would
probably be looked on with horror by the
true relic collector. The rag was sent -
a Cuban lady Of Key West by csn. ~
tancourt.

and she biased away, shooting wsal, her
6-inch shells exploding with remarkable
force among the rocks.
At 2:4O p. m. Admiral Sampson hoisted
the signal to cease firing, and the flagship
returned to the blockading squadron.
On the railroad a trainioad Of troops had
already left for Altares.
In the bombardment of the shore
batteries an S-inch shell from the
Newark dropped in the massive old
fort, and clouds of white dust
and huge stones filled the air. When the
small shells hit it's bat,lements. almost
hidden by green creepers FIR agments Of ma
sonry came tumbling down. A shot from
the Suwanee hit the eastern parapet and It
crumbled away like air. Amidst the smoke
and debris the flagstaff was seen to fall
from 1t.
Spanish Flag Dropped
1.-THE flag has been shot down." shouted
the ships crew, but when the smoke cleared
away the emblem of Spain was seen to be
still flying and blazing> brilliantly in the
sun, though the flagstaff was bending
toward the earth. Apparently the flagstaff
had been caught firmly In the wreckage of
the fort. A few more shots leveled the bat
Elements until the Castle was pitiful sight.
Only Three Shots
When the firing ceased, Lieutenant DEL
hanty of the Suwanee was anxious to finish
his work, so he signaled to the New York,
asking permission to knock down the Span
ish flag.
yes" replied Admiral Sampson, "lf you
can do /. in three shots"
The Suwanee then lay about 1000 yards
from the old fort. She took her time.
Lieutenant Blue carefully aimed the four
inch gun and the crews of all the ships
watched the incident amid intense excite
ment.
When the smoke of the first sho, cleared
away only two streamers of the flag were
left The she'll had gone through the center
of the bunting.
A delighted yell broke forth from the
crew of the Suwance.
Two or three minutes later the Suwanee
fired again and huge clouds of dust rose
from the base of the flagstaff. For few
seconds it was impossible to tell what had
been the effect of the shot. Then 1t was
seen that the shell had only added to the
ruin of the fort.
A Charmed Flag
The flagstaff seemed to have a charmed
existence and the Suwanee had only one
chance left. 1t seemed hardly possible for
her to achieve her object with the big
gun, at such distance and with such Il
tiny target.
There was GREATNESS silence among
the crews. They crowded on the ships
decks and all eyes were on that tattered
rag, bending toward the earth from the
top of what once had been a grand old
castle. But 1t was only bending, not yet
down.
Lieutenant Commander Delhanty and
Lieutenant Blue took their time.
Down She Came
The Suwanee changed her position
slightly. Then puff of smoke shot out
from her side and up went a spouting
cloud Of debris from the parapet and down
fell the banner of Spain. Such yells from
the flagship will probably never be heard
again.
The Suwanee's last shot had struck right
at the base of the flagstaff and blown 1t
clear of the wreckage, which had held It.
"Well DONE" sgnaled Admiral Samp-
son to tenant-Commander Delhanty.

PANDO'S ARMY
Garcia Says the Troops Reached San

. NEW YORK, July "A special dis .
patch from Playa del Este to the .

. Garcia is authority for the statement .
. that General Pando has entered San .

forcement of General Linares. .
. General Pando left Manzanillo on .

with the troops as had been reported. He
was and is in Havana. The relieving
army, the Cuban says, was supplied with
food and the roads were almost impass-
able, and the artillery could not be drag
ged along with them. Thus, getting 20
Santiago in time to succor the garrison
there appeared to be impossible, hence
the recall of the troops.
