RAIN OF SHELLS.
The Terrible Destruction of the SPAN
ish Squadron at Santiago de Cuba.
The Damage Caused by Some of the
Shots Was Fearful-One Penetrated an
OquendO Turret-It Exploded and
Killed Every Person Inside.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo Bay,
July 13.-Some idea of the awful rain
of shells poured into the doomed Span
ish squadron on the morning of July 8
by the pursuing American war ships
may be gained from the number of
shots fred from the battle ship Oregon.
This number also bears out the state
ment of the Spanish officers that it was
the fire from the second batteries that
drove their men from their guns and
forced the ships to beach.
From the time when Private O'Day,
of the battle ship Oregon, fired the
first shot from her forward siX-pound-
er until the Cristobal Colon turned to-
ward the shore, the Oregon fired 1,776
shells. Of these 1910 were from her
six-pounders. The big 13-inch guns
were fired "a times, the eight-inch guns
% times, and the siX-inch "a times.
The one-pounders were fred 20 times.
The destruction caused by some of
the shots was fearful One eight-inch
shell penetrated the turret of the Al
mirante Oquendo, exploded and killed
every person inside, blowing some to
pieces.

with Capt. Eulate, of the Spanish ar

mored cruiser Vizcaya. He said:
1.-The entire squadron was ordered
to devote the fire of their guns to the
cruiser Brooklyn because it was be-
lieved that she was the only ship in
the American squadron that could
Overtake us. When we got out of the
harbor my ship was second in line and
1 saw Immediately that the flagship
Maria Teresa was getting Il ter
rible baptism of fire. 1t was fright
full The Texas and the Brooklyn
were just riddling her and in Is min
utes l saw she was on fire. The Iowa
and Oregon were firing on the Oqeun-
do, and as yet l had not been badly
hit. The Brooklyn was a half mile
closer to us than any other ship and 1
determined to try and ram her so that
the Colon and Oquendo could get away
and 1 started for her. She was a good
mark with her big broadside and as 1
started 1 thought surely 1
would get her but she had
evidently seen us and very
quickly she turned about and making
short circuit, came at our port side
SO that / thought she would ram u.s. l
moved in toward shore so that l could
avoid her, and then l saw that the
Oquendo had gone ashore also, her
steam pipes evidently having been
severed by she'll The manouever
of the Brooklyn was be autiful. We
opened rapid fire at her with all our
big guns, but she returned it with ter
rible effect. The Oregon also hit us
several times, but the Brooklyn's
broadside crashing into our super
structure simply terrorized the men,
We worked all our guns at her at one
time and i don't see how she es-
capped u.s. She simply drove US in
to shore, at one time fighting us at
LOO yards. One shell went along the
entire gun deck, killing half the men
on it and wounding nearly all the rest.
A shell from the Oregon hit the super
structure and it was then that the
men were wounded, and knowing we
could not get away, l struck the flag
and started for the beach,"

TO PORTO RICO.
The Movement the Island Began-VOk
unteers to BE Exchanged for Reg
ulars at Santiago.

WASHINGTON, July ALPHABETICALLY
the movement on Porto Rico has be-
gun. Guns and ammunition and sup
plies now being loaded on transports
are for Porto Rico, not for Santiago.
Some of the volunteer regiments now
leaving will be exchanged on arrival
at Santiago for regulars, but most OF
them will go on with the army of oc-
cupation. The artillery, the wagon
trains and the peG1 animals are for
Porto Rico, and will not be unloaded
until they reach there.
Movements of troops will be very
rapid from this time. Gen. Miles is a
strong believer in the idea of plenty
of men. He has from the start favor
ed preparations to OverpOwer the
Spaniards with numbers. His plans
for Porto Rico contemplate an army
of 25, 900 to occupy that island, 90 miles
long and 35 miles wide. 1t is prob
able, however, that Gen. Miles will
start from Santiago with force of 49,
600 men, expecting the 10000 addi-
tional to follow as soon as the trans
ports can be sent back for them.
1t will be necessary to draw on the
camps in this country for $4,000 men
to make up the army which Gen. Miles
deems sufficient for Porto Rico, and
leave enough troops with Gen. Shafter
for further operations in Santiago.
This widening of the field necessi-
tates the sending of more generals.
Two in whom the president has special
confidence have been selected. They
are Gen. Brooke and Gen. Wilson.
They will go at once.

MILES IN COMMAND.
The General Declares That the Campaign
at Santiago de Cuba Must End
Within Three Days.
IZE a

BEFORE SANTIAGO, via Playa del Este,
July 13.-Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
who Tuesday morning assumed COM
mand of the American forces in the
field, promises to take Santiago within
three days. Gen. Miles declares that
the campaign must end quickly. With
that object in view the American COM
mander, who arrived on the Yale Mon
day morning, fastened to the front
and took charge.
The Spaniards, after being heavily
bombarded by the New York and the
Brooklyn from off Aguadores, hoisted
flag of truce Monday afternoon. A
portion of the city then had been de-
stroyed by the American fire. Gen.
Miles was enthusiastically received
by his troops when he appeared at
the front. He arrived during driv-
ing rainstOrm and was accompanied
by 5000 re-enforcements from the Yale
and the Columbia. The st. Paul also
arrived with the presidents Own, 8"
the Sth Ohio, and other REINFORCE
ments from Illinois and Massachusetts,.
Shocked at the condition he found
in Siboney Gen. Miles imme-
diately ordered that town be destroy
ed by fire. He decided upon this as
sanitary measure and several wooden
buildings, including one in which
Gen. Miles established himself tempo
! rarily, now are in flames.

The Mines Ordered Removed.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The secre-
tary of war has ordered the removal
of all the submarine mines which now
protect the harbors of the United
States against the entry of hostile
ships. This action was decided upon
at Tuesdays cabinet meeting. For
weeks past, in fact almost since the
beinning of hostilities, the war de-
partment has been deluged with pro-
tests from the commercial interests of
the country against the continuance
of these mines, which operated to the
great detriment of commerce.

trip Of 912 days during which there
was a strong breeze from the northwest
and then the northeast. There was
not for one moment an abatement in
the briskness of the wind.

"Broncho" Armstrong, one of Yale's
Varsity football men, and captain of
a Yale racing crew, and a coach
whose crews in football and rowing
have won nearly all their contests in
81, writes to correspondent here
about training and the use of wine.
He says:
In the last five years college men
have realized more and more that the
training must be adapted to the indi-
vidual, and not the individual to the
training, which was the mistaken pol
icy for years. Many good men and a
good many games were lost through
this mistake.
Steps in advance were not taken
gradually but rather by jumps. The
captains directed these matters, and
in regard to diet, it depended on them,
whether a liberal or close diet was
allowed. If the captain was a self re-
liant man, who looked into things for
himself, he would take long step
ahead, as he could see that something
was wrong, when animals were train
ed so differently from men, while ply
sically they were so much alike. If
the captain was not a man of this
kind, he followed the course laid down
| by previous captains, and let it go at
that. l tried the advanced system in
| '95 with the Yale Varsity crew. 1t
was the heaviest ever seen in a Yale
boat, and it was predicted that they
could not finish the Season in condi
ton Feeding and careful training
might do it, and heavier crews, other
things being equal, should win. But
the heavy men had always before gone
out of condition and became mere
drags in the boat The '95 crew of
heavy men were trained to the end on
| this theory, and it was one of the
fastest crews on record. The system is
now used, and perfected.
I'm football the same practice be
gan to prevail This year, '97, there
was more liberality than ever in feed
ing.
LAS to the use of wine or cham
payne, the statement sent to Homo
lulu, is much overdrawn. A few men
were given champagne, as it was con-
sidered a good thing to keep the life
in a man, and it was done this year,
where and when deemed necessary, but
no general use of it was allowed. Nor
will it ever be, as we can See more and
more, that it is much better to keep
the life in a man, than it is to bring
it back to him, if it has gone out by
| imperfect training. The step which
really counted in the Yale football
team, this year, was this: the life
was kept in the men by not over-work-
ing them"
