Off United States Camp, Guantanamo,
Sunday, June u, Noon, via Kingston, ia
maica, June 13.-11:3O p. m.-When the As
sociated Press dispatch boat Dauntless left
Guantanamo bay early this morning after
the thirteen hours skirmish between the
United States marines, under Lieutenant
Colonel R. w. Huntington, and the Span
ish guerillas and regulars, 1t was expected
that the fighting would be renewed. The
Marblehead was landing reinforcements
and nothing had been heard from the ad-
vance pickets under Lieutenant Wendell
C. Neville and Lieutenant Melville j. Shaw
At o'clock the firing was again resumed
by the Spaniards, who appeared off the
camp on the edge of a small island, about
a mile to the northwest. 1t was promptly
returned by thirteen rifles and a S-inch
field gun, and in a short time all sings of
the enemy had disappeared Colonel Hum
tington then sent to the landing for Sec
ond 3-inch gun, which was dragged to the
hill ana placeu III postum dt ehe summit
The skirmish lines down around the camp
kept up a popping all the morning, but
without much result to show for 1t. Mean
while the Marblehead left the harbor and
threw a few shells into the woods.
Returned In Satisfy
To the great delight of the marines in
camp Lieutenants Neville and Shaw, with
thirty men of Company D, returned in good
shape, but much exhausted by eighteen
hours of picket duty. One man, Sergeant
Smith, of Company X, had been shot
through the abdomen and instantly killed.
For most of the men, day and night, had
been surrounded by much superior force.
but men and officers behaved splenddly.
and although the firing of the Spaniards
was constantly and heavy, Lieutenant Ne
villes detachment held its own, inficting
much more damage than 1t sustained. At
least five Spaniards are known to have
been killed, and as Lieutenant Neville's
men kept up steady fire throughout the
night, and the enemy was not at great
distance 1t is believed that the Spanish
casualties were heavy.
The battleship Texas arrived this MORN
ing and sent ashore forty marines and two
automatic Colt guns as reinforcements.
The Marblehead also sent an additional
detachment.
Private Bartholomew MCGOWAN, of Conn
pany D, will lose his hand, which was
shattered by a bullet. Amputation will be
necessary.
The Marblehead's pilot. who was shot
though the leg while guiding the cruiser
out of the harbor- this morning, holds the
rank of a colonel in the Cuban service.

LETTER FROM
ADMIRAL DEWEY WEY
First Mail AdYiCeS Received From Him
Since He Reached Manila.
FULL ACCOUNT OF BATTLE
The Riena Christina Alone Had 1855 Men Kill
ed, Including Her Captain-90 More
Were Wounded None Killed,
Wounded our Side.

Washington, June 13.-The navy depart
ment today made public the following let
ter received from Admiral Dewey this af-
ternoon, being it's first mail advices from
him since he reached Manila.
Flagship Olympia, Cavite, May A, 1885,
The squadron left Mrs bay on April 27.
Arrived off Bolinao on the morning of April
30 and finding no vessels there proceeded
down the coast and arrived off the entrance
to Manila bay on the same afternoon. The
Boston and Concord were sent to recon-
noiter Port Subsic. A thorough search of
the port was made by the Boston and the
Concord, but the Spanish fleet was not
found. Entered the south channel at
11:35 p M, steaming at eight knots. Af-
ter half the squadron had passed, a battery
on the south side of the channel opened
fire, none of the shots taking effect. The
Boston and McCulloch returned the fire.
The squadron proceeded across the bay at
slow speed and arrived off Manila at day
break and was fired upon at 5:15 a. m. by
three batteries at Manila and two near
Cavite and by the Spanish fleet anchored
in an approximately east and west line
across the mouth of Baker bay, with their
left in shoal water in Canacac bay The
squadron then proceeded to the attack.
The flagship Olympia, under my personal
direction, leading, followed at some dis
tance by the Baltimore, Raleigh, Petrol,
Concord and Boston in this order named,
which formation was maintained through
out the action.
Squadron Opened Fire
The squadron opened fire at 5:41 a. M,
while advancing to the attack, two mines
were exploded ahead of the flagship, too
far to be effective. The squadron main
tanned a continuous and precise fire at
ranges varying from 5000 to 1000 yards,
counter marching in line approximately
parallel to that of the Spanish fleet. The
enemys fire was vigorous, but generally
ineffective. Early in the engagement two
launches put out toward the Olympia with
the apparent intention of using torpedoes.
One was sunk, but the-other disabled by
our fire and beached before an opportunity
occurred to fire torDedoes. At a. M
the Spanish flagship, Reina Christina, made
a desperate attempt to leave the line and
come out to engage at short range, but
was received with such calling fire, the
entire battery of the Olympia being con-
centrated upon her that she was barely
able to return to the shelter of the point
The fires started in her by our shells at
this time were not extinguished until she
sank The three batteries at Manila had
kept up continuous report from the be-
ginning of the engagement, winch fire was
not returned by the squadron.
Thefirst of the batteries was situated on
the south Molehead, at the entrance of the
Pasig river. The second on the south bas-
tion of the walled city of Manila. and the
third at Maleat about one-haif mile further
south. At this point sent a message to
the governor-general to the effect that II

Paris, June 13-The fact that the ships
built or repaired by France for the Span
ish service have not worked well Is causing
much disappointment among French Off
cials and shipbuilders. French shipbuild-
ers are angry, because this condition of
affairs implies reflection upon their work.

because it indicates a danger of similar
defects in the French navy. The Spaniards
say the faut is in the building of the ships,
the Frenchmen say the fault is with the
Spanish seamen.

NAPOLEON LETTER
MEETS A WATERLOO
Young FinanCier Hard Pressed and With
draws From the Pit.
SNUBBED BY HIS FATHER
Unoaded More Than -Four Million Bushels in
Day-He Endeavored to Keep Under
Coyer-Cause of His Sud-
den Withdrawal.

Chicago, June 13.-This has been day
of excitement and wild rumors in the Chi
cago wheat pit. A reverse that looks like
Waterloo has come to the Young Ma
poleon of Finance" Joseph Letter.
AT first there was wild tumble of prices
on the board, July wheat selling II cents
from Saturdays close, while September
lost 49sc and December 37sc, but all made
a little recovery before the close.
1t was given out that Letter had ordered
his deals all closed and that the selling
rush was the result of the execution of
this order accompanied as it was by a
flood Of rumors concerning the stability of
the big bull movement, which for months
has been the factor of trade dealings. One
of these was that Letter had been deserted
by some of his associates in the campaign.
In the meantime Letter wheat was being
tumbled overheard. Later in the day Lei
ter made no attempt to conceal the fact
that he had sold out all his holdings in
futures, probably 6,OOO, 900 or 100000 bushels
here.
Transferred His Trades
1t came out that he had transferred most
of his trades in futures to other options
and that they were pretty well protected
by margins, so that whatever losses they
would fall upon Letter. His cash wheat,
one report said, was transferred to Armour,
but later story was that 1t would be
"trusteed' and handled in such way as
to prevent the slump which would be in
evitable if it was all thrown upon the mar
ket at once. Before the final close the
panic partially subsided, and July recated
cents, September selling up IL and De-
cember making cents rally, selling a
shade above September, where it was 1 cent
under on Saturday.
None of the principals in the Letter
crisis is willing to discuss the causes which
led to his abdication, and the most plausi-
BILE explanation that can be offered at this
time is circumstantal and speculative.
The First Indication
The first indication of the approaching
dissolution in the Letter regime came this
morning when the announcement was made
that all his cash and June wheat had been
transferred by Allen, Grier & Cellar, Lett
er's brokers, to Philip d. Armour, and
that the September option of which Letter
was a heavy holder, had been transferred
to Lamson Bros These reported trans
actions gave rise to conjectures that soon
developed into panic. At the outset 1t
was rumored that Letter was trying to get
out of the market, but the fact that AL
len, Grir & Cellar had transferred their
trades to Lamson Bros, instead of SELL
ing out directly, aroused the suspicion that
Letter was hard pressed and was endeav-
oring to dispose. of his immense holdings

NEED OF THE AGE,
The Subject of Timely Discourse by Rev
Joseph spcer, Delivered at Second Pres
byterian Church.

Rev. Joseph Speer, pastor Of the Second
Presbyterian church. preached a sermon
yesterday morning on the subject of The
Need Of the Age" Among the thoughts
expressed, the pastor said that a great
deal is heard about the need Of the age.
A prominent New York clergyman had
said that the need of the age was a new
religion. But the real need is not a new
religion. but the Holy Ghost. we need to
get back To the old time when religion
dwelt in the hearts of men by faith. When

Of Christ is sufficient. Yes il is as power
full to-day as ever. The real need of the
age is TO return TO Christ through His
spirit 1t is true that IN every age and
On the acknowledged principle of the
Bible that in proportion as the people
have acknowledged the influence of the
Holy Spirit have they been blessed and
the work OF God prospered in their hands.
When the churches have not recognized
the Holy Ghost as the potent Christian
factor they have become cold and become
a by-word instead OF d blessing to human
ity The Holy Ghost is 4 person and
comes to the person of man. He meets our
spirit ana qualities it for the great work
Christ mas mapped out for us. Christs

MINERS
Differences Discussed at Meeting Of
the Men Held in EtDaville Yes
terday---Should Be Paid by the
Foot, Bank Measure, and Not by
the Ton.

The miners employed in the peddling
mines over the river met yesterday
morning at Schaeffer's hall, in Aetna
willie, to talk over the differences eX-
listing between them and the opera
tors Of the mines; also to hear the re-
port Of the committee that met in con-
ference with the operators few nights
ago.
The report was in no wise favorable,
as far as could be learned The min
ers were of the opinion that the men
working at the mines where the two
inch screens are in use and are re-
ceiying 80 cents per ton, should be
paid $179 per foot. bank measure, ac-
cording to the regular scale price, and
they voted in accordance with their
views. By a foot bank measure is
meant. a foot of coal dug in a room
twenty-four feet wide and five feet
high.
Under the present system they
claim that when paid so cents per ton
the operator gets Is cents advantage
Of them. This statement they say they
are ready to prove at any time when
called upon. The present system af-
fects four peddling banks and about
twenty-five or thirty miners. The
men who are being pcid the regular
scale price will continue working UNI
til this evening, when another meeting
will be held to decide when the adj
vance, or rather the regular scale
price will be asked for. If it is not
given by the operators then a general
strike Will probably be the outcome.
The miners are the Gaylord mines
have not been working for the past
three days, and it is rumored that the
original owners of the mine have clos
ed it down until the present owners
pay them a royalty.
