Thunder and Lightning Add Terrors to
Santiago Bombardment.

London, June 15.-The morning papers
publish further long accounts of the
bombardment of Santiago de Cuba on
June 6, confirming the reports from the
United States that Moro castle and the
Estrella battery were both set afire by
the American shells and that the Span
lsh fortifications were immensely dam
aged These versions say that the Mas
sachusetts and the Suwanee were some
what injured by shells.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
says: THE spectacle was one of awe
inspiring grandeur Nobody who saw
IL could ever forget it. The lightning
flashed and the thunder doomed, drown
ing the roar of the guns. while tropi-
cal rain poured throughout perfect de-
luge. The Spanish shooting was bet
ter than the American.

says: 1T is surprising that the Amer

claimed by the Spaniards as a victory.

SAN JUAN COMMANDMENT.
Captain of British Steamer Says Little
Damage Was Done.

New York. June 1.-THE British
steamer Tyrlan which sailed from San
Juan de Porto Rico on June has ar
rived. Captain Angrove reports that
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror was in port when he sailed, with
steam up and stored with coal, water
and provisions. on arrival at San Juan
the Terrors boilers were leaking. Re-
pairs were made and some tubes were
fitted in the boilers. Captain Angrove
says that very little damage was caused
by the bombardment by Admiral Samp-
sons fleet on May II.
The forts, he says, were not injured.
One church had a large hole in it where
a large shell passed through. The cap
tain said he visited all of the forts to
see the result of the assault but could
observe nothing unusual. At the gate
way of one of the forts stands an un-
| exploded American shell which is kept
there as a souvenir. There were in port
| the Aiphonso XIII and four Of the old
| style gunboats.

Nothing Less Than a Spy.

He was in the eye of military law
nothing more or less than spy, and
had he been captured by the Spaniards
he would have been tried by drum
head court-martial and executed. Con-
sidering the fact that the marines
fight at Guantanamo last Saturday
night was really the first engagement
of the war on shore Admiral Simpsons
reference to the affair in his dispatch
Just posted was remarkably brief.
Hence; II is inferred that perhaps too
much Importance has been attached to
II by the public The action Of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Huntington in removing his
men to a more secure point than the
exposed position occupied by them on
Crest heights is taken here as an indi-
cation that no offensive movement is TO
be attempted by the marine corps, but
that it will limit its operations to the
defense of a small point in Guantanamo
harbor to protect the coaling or our
varships, and perhaps to serve as q
| cable station when the necessary OPP
orators and instrument are secured
| from Cape Haytien to enable Admiral
Sampson to reopen the cut cable. IL
does not follow by any means that the
place seized and held by the marines
| on Guantanamo bay is to be used as a
point Of debarkation of the United
States regular troops now on their way
| to Cuba.

Another Point selected.

ON the contrary, there is the best
reason to believe that another point
very much better adapted for land-
ing has been selected. But this point
also is believed to be much healthier
than any point on the shores of Guam
tanamo bay. where yellow fever is SAID
to be epidemic all the year round. Ihe
officials here were very reluctant to be-
lieve that the Spanish who fought the
marines at Crest heights hao peen
guilty of the horrible barbarism OF mu-
tilating the bodies OF soldiers. The first
press reports by some of the oficers
were supposed to be based upon the
horrible wounds inflicted under certain
conditions Of range by the steel-clad
bullet of the Mauser rifles. Admiral
Simpsons report, however seems 10

surgeons undoubtedly would be able 10

The Troops Left Behind.

When these two expeditions have left
the United states the efforts Of the gov
ernment will be concentrated to bring
ing into soldierly condition the troops
left behind and those which will be re-
cruited under the second call. Large
reinforcements will doubtless be called
for by General Shafter within the next
few months, and when the capture OF
Havana is undertaken it is thought that
not less than 100000 United States
troops will be on the island.
AS the recruits come from the vari-
Gus recruiting points they are to be
sent at once to their respective regi-
ments in the camps until all are filled to
the maximum number. 1t Is thought
two or three months of drilling in camp
and proper discipline in association
