The men of the 1st Vermont regi-
ment are all fine, stout fellows, re-
sembling in many respects our own
hardy mountaineers. It appears that
after leaving Washington on their
trip south they received one contin-
uous ovation clear to Chattanooga,
which SO impressed the officers and
men that all decided to be on their
very best behavior in a country where
they were SO royalty received. And
it goes without saying that this regi-
ment is the most gentlemanly body of
volunteers that has arrived in this
city since May Chattanooga Times.

Until the official dispatches, which
are undoubtedly at Washington, are
made public, it will be impossible to
say just how extensive the engage
ment was at Santiago on Tuesday.
That there was an engagement be-
tween Commodore Schley's ships and
the land Notifications is almost GER
tain, and that some at least of Admi
raj Cervera's squadron took part is
probably true.
Commodore Schley is reported to
have had u ships in action. These
were probably the cruiser Brooklyn,
flagship, the battleships Iowa, Texas
and Massachusetts, the cruisers New
Orleans, Marblehead and Nashville,
the torpedo boats Porter and another,
the auxiliary cruiser ST. Paul. The
flagship New York, which flies Admi-
raj Sampson's flag, was indeed report
ed to be in the fleet, but this is i'm
probable for various reasons

Although it is reported that the
blockading fleet under Admiral Schley
has engaged the forts and one of the
Spanish cruisers at Santiago, the gov
ernment officials do not seem to be
sure that the Spanish fleet is there at
all, although as it has not been heard
from elsewhere it is presumed that it
is in that harhOr

If the Spanish fleet is at Santiago, it
connot be as easily destoyed as was
the feet at Manila. The entrance to
to Santiago harbor, which is SO mar
row that it will not admit of two ships
entering there abreast, is mined SO
that it will be dangerous undertak-
ing to attempt to take the American
feet into the harbor to engage the
Spaniards and their squadron will not
be likely to come out and engage our
feet. which is far superior to the en-
emy's. Spain may try to break the
blockade by sending her Cadiz fleet
here but fleet could be detached to
meet this without breaking the block
ade at Santiago.
