Enough to Damage santiago.

Enough to Damage Santiago.
Washington, July 11.-Attention has
been directed to the range of the guns
on our ships, for on this depends
whether the bombardment will be con-
fined to the outer forts or whether Ii
will be effective upon Santiago itself.
There are FIVE battleshlps and two ar
mored cruisers besides the lesser ships
to open this fire, namely, the battle
ships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts,,
Oregon. Texas and the armored cruisers
New York and Brooklyn.
The oregon and Iowa are to berushed
with the eastern squadron to the coast
of Spain, and therefore may not take
part in the bombardment. The three
battleships and two armored cruisers
combined have twenty-six huge 10
inch. 12-inch and S-inch guns, having
a range Of ten or eleven miles on an
acute elevation, and a range OF over
six miles on the elevation which can
be given In turrets. This Is an eleva-
tion which can clear Morro castle and
the harbor batteries and can about
reach the city of Santiago. The maxi
mum elevation on shipboard Is seven
teen degrees, which limits the full range
Of the heavy guns about one-half. II
is only the large guns above men,
toned that have range which could
get anywhere near the city, as the D.

demand has not pushed prices OF ma

Gatling guns are for close range, usually
not exceeding LOCO yards
Naval experts say that the lombard
ment will be confined mainly to the
forts and batteries, for while the big
guns can about reach Santiago. when
the ships are standing off mile or so
from the harbor. yet the most effective
work can be done against MORO. Cayo

tions leading up to the city. Once these
are reduced the way is clear to San
