Michigan Boys Fare Well at Tampa.

A Tampa dispatch says the Michigan
boys in camp there live fairly well,
and the heat is not overpowering. The
daily routine grows monotonous at
times, but day in and day out the
Michigan boys have pretty good time.
The men have several hours to them
selves each day, and they employ their
spare time in bathing, fishing and

HOT FIGHTING HEAVY LOSS
The American Forces Engage the

CAPTURE THEIR OUTPOSTS.

sons Fleet Bombarded the Forts.

Washington: A general assault on
the city of Santiago de Cuba, by the
land and naval forces of the United
States, began at o'clock on the morn
and took possession of Cabona, "A suburb
of Santiago Moro castle and the
other forts at the entrance of the har-
Dor were bombarded by Sampson's
fleet. The Vesuvius used her dynamite
guns with good effect. The Spanish
fleet in the harbor fired on the Amer
lean troops, who were close to the city.
Washington: The war department
has received the following from Gen.
Shafter, dated at Siboney:
Had a very heavy engagement which
lasted from s a. m. until shutdown.
We have carried the Spanish outworks
and are now in possession of them.
There is now about three-quarters of
mile of open between my lines and
the city. BY morning troops will be
intrenched and considerable augmen-
tation of forces will be there. Gen.
Lawton's division and Gen. Bates bril-
gade, which have been engaged all day
in carrying FL Caney, which was ac-
compliShed at 4 p. m, will be in line
and in front of Santiago during the
night. regret TO say that our casu-
alties will be above 400. OF these not
many killed. SKATER.
Another brief dispatch says: The
fighting continued until dark. Our
forces carried the enemy's outer works
and have occupied them. The battle
will be resumed at daybreall. The
American loss is heavy. Some esti-
mates place it at 500 killed and
wounded.
Shafter Used "a Balloon.
For the first time in the history of
the United States war balloon was
sent up during the first attack on San
tiago, making observation of incalcul-
able benefit TO Gen. Skaters forces in
the field occupied by the enemy, and
over the doomed city of Santiago. 1t
was manned by two members of the
signal corps. OF all the reconnais-
sances made inside the Spanish lines
by spies from our army, no informa-

so valuable as that obtained by the
observers in the balloon. With them
the men carried powerful telescopes,
which enabled them 70 see the country
for radius of nearly 40 miles. The
Spanish camps could be plainly seen
and the number of forces at each place
estimated. The men in the balloon
were soon sighted by the Spaniards,
for messengers ran about and shots,
evidently from machine guns, were
aimed at them. The swaying motion
of the huge gas bag and the effect of
gravity, however, prevented any of
the projectiles from hitting it, and the
Spaniards soon gave up, evidently
not wishing TO waste ammunition.
Sketches and maps were drawn show
ing the enemys location, and these
will be of the greatest benefit. The
ballon remained up until dark, when
it was slowly hauled down to earth.
