A DRAWN BATTLE.
General Shafter Will Probably
Give UP Plains Near SANTIAGO.

WASHINGTON, July 3-Secretary
Alger when asked what course has to
be pursued in view of General Shafter's
report of the condition at Santiago. said
the Government did not intend to make
any of its plans public and give the
enemy an opportunity of knowing what
was intended. 1t is understood that
General Shafter will at once issue in
structions. War Department officials
have been in conference at the White
House and War Department
General Miles says the result at San
tiago appears to be drawn battle. He
also says that the withdrawal of Gem
eral Shafter to the highlands of Sibony
near the sea would be temporary, en-
abling the troops to meet and prepare
for sure work. General Shafter would
probably give up Caney and the plain

ters. The knowledge that Morro Cas-
tie was not to be spared created much
interest and the greatest satisfaction
among the gunners.
Rear Admiral Sampson said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
shortly before the firing commenced:
General Shafter sent me word last
night that the batteries at the south
of the harbor had fired on his troops.

ter is mistaken, as all our information
shows that no guns bear shoreward.

With the flagship New York leading
the eastern end of the crescent of ships,
the fleet steamed inshore 1000 yartls
from MORO until in a position to en-
filade both the eastern batteries. At

smooth. and light breeze was blowing.
For the first ten minutes the marks
manship of the gunners was splendid.

A SPANISH VERSION.
Claim That Our Troops Numbered
Twelve to Their One.

MADRID, July "a p. m.-Private
dispatches from Santiago give the fol-
lowing details:
General Skaters army, composed of
1900 infantry and eighty-two siege
guns of various caliber attacked the
Spanish positions before Santiago, COCO
rebels under Garcia assisting him. The
Spaniards had only 1000 men, partly
volunteers. Our troops fought with
heroic courage. n The battle lasted three
hours and the: Spanish Were then COM
PEELED to abandon the trenches and to
fall back on Santiago. The retreat
was conducted in perfect order.
Our losses We're very heavy and the
enemy,s were enormous The list of our
wounded includes General Linares, Col
onel Ordonez and Majors Amadrid and
ArraiZa, the latter ebeing General Lii
mares aide de camp.
The American attack upon Ell Caney
was very severe. The position was de-
Tended by General Vera de Roy with
800 men. The enemy was at first re-
pulsed but ultimately renewed the at
tack. ne
A later dispatch says: The Amer
leans fought eight against one. The
Spaniards, defended themselves very he

including General Vera de Roy and
Major DomingueZ. The struggle is be-
coming difficult; 1000 Spaniards having
to meet $4,000 of the enemy.

A few small shells from the western
batteries dropped around the ships but

The terrific fusillade OF heavy shells
from all the ,battleships Of the United
States navy silenced the fire from the
shore in short order. One particularly
good shot from the flagship New York
sent gun en- one Of the eastern bat
teries flying high into the air. and
enormous clouds of earth and debris
rose all around Moro. The smoke from
the ships drifted from east to west.
At $50 the firing had become slower
and more deliberate The Indiana, Or
egon and Massachusetts, were signaled
to go right in front of the harbor to
shell the Punta Corda batteries inside
on the eastern arm. They steamed to
within 1000 yards of the shore. The
Oregon took shot at Morro Castle,
and down came the Spanish flag. At
sight of this splendid piece Of marks
manship the crews of the different
ships cheered enthusiastically.
The three battleships then kept up an
incessant fire on the Punta Gorda bat
teries, doing great havoc to the for-
tifications and the works in course or
construction. Not a shot came from
the enemy.
The ships contented themselves by
taking occasional shots at Moro. Its
ancient battlements were knocked to
pieces, and great holes loomed up IN
it's parapets.
At 7:25 Admiral Sampson hoisted the
signal Cease firing" but it was half
an hour later before the Orefon had
fired her last shot

days, and sooner If this can be arrang-
ed. This is exclusive of the insur-
gents, of whom General Garcia has
been able tie bring. to Skaters COM
mand approximately 1000 men. There
were about 1900 men and officers in
the expedition that set out from Tampa
less than a month ago. These have
since been reinforced by the troops OF
General Duffeld's command, amount
ing to 5000 men, and consisting Of the
Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michi-
gan and the Ninth Massachusetts, Regi-
ments. The first 1.4OO of General Duff
fields brigade have been with Shafter
for a week, while the remainder have
just debarked During the past week a
second expedition of large proportions
was scheduled to leave Tampa, carry
ing a good portion of General Simon
Snyder's division of the Fourth Corps
as reinforcements for General Shafter.
Assistant Secretary Mefklejohn said
to-day that eleven transports were
| available to carry Snyder's troops, and
while without official information On
the subject, he assumed that probably
5000 of them are on the way in these
transports to join those in Santiago
province. The other troops to be sent
to the aid of General Shafter will, ac-
cording to the understanding here, be
the remaining portion of General Sny-
der's division and such other regiments
now at Tampa as are best equipped ana
ready for active work General Brooke,
commanding at Chickamauga, has al
ready received instructions to have hf-
teen regiments prepared for immediate
movement. General Snyder's division,
which was under orders for Santiago,
included the four regiments, Eleventh
and Nineteenth Infantry from the reg
ular army, the First District of Co
lumbia, the Second New York. The
Fifth Maryland. the Third Pennsylva-
mia, the One Hundred and Fifty-sev-
enth Indiana and the First Ohio.
General Garretson's brigade, now at
Camp Alger, is under orders for San
tiago General Garretsons brigade is
composed of the Sixth Illinois, Fifth
Massachusetts, and Eighth Ohio Voiun-
teer Regiments. The army officials,
feeling that they have profited by the
experience in preparing the first expe-
dition, say better time Will be made
with those to follow.
The Mohawk and the Mississippi, two
vessels of the American transports just
acquired by the Government, have IA
cilities for about 1900 men and ami
mails and will be utilized in sending aid
to Shafter. They are non at New York
