FRIDAYS BATTLE.
Gen. Shafter Begins the Attack on the
Spaniards at Santiago.

Gen. Shafter Begins the Attack on the
Spaniards at Santiago.
The attack at Santiago was begun
last Friday morning at Z O'Clock.
From three directions Maj Gen.
Skaters forces advanced toward
the doomed city.
Both the American and Spanish
fleets joined in the battle. While
Admiral SIMPSONS men were re-
ducing the recently emplaced bat
teries at Aguadores, Admiral Ger
vera's fleet was hurliEg shells in the
direction of the American and Gu
ban lines.
While Gen. Lawton and Gen.
Wheeler were attacking Caney, d
few miles northeast of Santiago,
Gen. Kent was advancing toward
Aguadores. Gen. Garcia, with his
Cuban troops, at the same time APP
preached Caney from the southeast,
and the other divisions of the
American army pressed toward
Santiago from the east, our forces
thus presenting a solid front from
the coast to Gen. Linares' northern
defenses.
Before the fighting had been long
under way the American and Cuban
forces gained advanced ground.
Foot by foot the enemy was driven
back into the village.
1t was evident after the first
hours fighting that Gen. ShafteI
had accurately gagged the strength
of the enemy, and that he would be
able to dive the Spaniards into
Santiago at his pleasure.
Two batteries of light artillery
acting under orders from Shatter
who went to the front at the head Of
the troops, began the battle by at
lacking Caney.
At the commencement of the figh
Gen. Joe" Wheeler was in the real
sick, but about ll:30 he started Oh
the twO-mile journey TO the front IL
an ambulance. About halfway the
front he met a number of litter:
bearing wounded. The veteran
under protest by the surgeons, i'm
mediately ordered his horse, and
after personally assisting the wound
ed into the ambulance, mounted
and rode onward, and, with de
tachment of cavalry, joined Gen
Lawton's men. The men burst int
frantic cheers, which followed tn,
general all along the line. By noon
although very ill. Gen. Wheele
had established headquarters at thu
extreme front and center of th,
line.
When the days battle wa
brought to an emu the American,
had Caney in their possession anC
had taken prisoners some 1000. L
was estimated that fully loo Span
iards lost their lives. The Ameri
cans had gained another signal vic
tory over the Spaniards, although /
was dearly purchased.

SIMPSONS and Skaters Men Were I'm
daunted by Fridays Battle.

SIMPSONS and Skaters Men Were I'm
daunted by Fridays Battle.
Before Santiago de Cuba, Satur-
day, July 2, 5p. m.-FOur batteries
of artillery began the day with bonn
harding the San Juan quarter of
Santiago and the Spanish position
in front of our right. After a quar-
ter of an hours Smelling, Gen. Law
tons troops, who had been rein
forced, pressed forward upon the
enemy's left flank, pouring in an
exceedingly hot fire, which was
continued during the greater part of
the afternoon.
Admiral SIMPSONS heavy guns
Numbered all the forenoon, and the
American shells were distinctly
seen to explode with tremendous
force aud loud detonations beyond
the San Juan Barracks, over which
numerous Red Cross flags were
| flying.
The Spaniards kept up volley
firing for fully an hour, but the de-
liberate spacing of our own shots
showed that our men, az usual, were
cool and effective in their work.
Later, Admiral Cervera's fleet in
the harbor succeeded in getting an
appro Ximate range angle Of our ad-
vance on the left, and sent in many

of fire, and in the foreground the
Gloucester lighting two destroyers
at short range.
Finally, one destroyer drift ed into
the surf, afire, battered wreck, and
the other, on fire, too, was run
ashore to save the lives of those who
had escaped our shells.
At quarter before IL the Vizcaya
hoisted a white flag as the com
mander turned his boat ashore
to save the remnant of his men, and
simultaneously up went a flag of
white on the Oquendo, and down
came the flag of Spain. The hulk of
the latter could be seen ashore, her
guns silent and smoke rising in big,
black clouds.
Only one ship remained, and that
was the Admiral's flag ship, the
Colon. Cervela was only struggling
because he wished to make his de-
feat glorious in the eyes of the at
tentive world.
Cervera passed the bay in which
the Oquendo had sought shelter and
held on due westward course, close
to the land, but evidently nourish-
ing the desperate hope that he
might break through the line and
reach free water.
Atll:30 O'Clock Cervera saw thu
Oregon putting in shore ahead OF
him to round him to. The Iowa
and Texas were already moving
down to close the gap, and the
Spanish flagship raked by the Ore
gOn and the Brooklyn at from {
thousand to three thousand yards
aided by the Texas at longer range
Cervera turned in shore and raj
for the rocks where the surf wa
breaking. He still replied with hi
guns occasionally, and the Spanist
flag could still be discerned from
time to time. In few moments
however, the guns were silent anC
the flagship was afiame, and the
white flag took the place of the
Spanish colors. Cervera's ship wa
hopelessly lost.

Monday.

The President sent to the Senate
the nomination of Capt. VIM. I.
Sampson, to be Commodore, and
Commodore Frederick V. McNair,
to be Rear Admiral.
The navy department received a
cabl2gram from Commodore Wat
son similar to the one from Admiral
Sampson, but containing the addi-
tional Information that during the
engagement between the fleets OF
Sampson and Cevera $50 Spaniards
were killed or drowned, $50 wound
ed and 1900 captured.
Information was received al
Washington that Admiral Camara
had finished coaling and was max
ing preparations to enter the Sue'
canal. Orders were issued to hasten
the departure of Commodore Wat
son.

Sunday.

At $3.50 a. m. Gen. Shafter sent a
message to the commander of the
Spanish forces at Santiago, stating
that unless he surrendered he would
begin to shell the city at 10 O'Clock
Monday. The Spanish Admiral re-
piled, stating that he would not sur
render. At the request of the for.
eign consuls in the city, Gen. Shat
ter sent notice that he would delay
beginning the bombardment until
Tuesday at noon, in order to permit
the removal of non-combatants from
the city.

heavy shells, which exploded in the
entertainments.
The impression appears to be we'll
founded that the Spanish losses,
especially in dead, will probably
amount to 5000 killed and wounded.
The losses of the Spaniards are
much heavier than ours. In some
of the trenches the corpses lay ia
unbroken lines, aud occasionally
two or three deep.
There are many evidences of dis
loyal methods of warfare upon the
part of the Spaniards yesterday.
One of their batteries, masked by a
block house, over which the Red
Cross flag was flying, on the road
leading from Gen. Skaters quar-
tiers on the Rio Sevila, to the front,
has been for two days or more in
tested at various points by sharp
shooters, who fired deliberately upon
our wounded and upon our men
who are engaged. 1t was supposed
have stolen through our lines on the
right, taking refuge in the hospitals.

THE GLORIOUS DETAILS.
How the Spanish Fleet Met Their Terri
BILE Fate.

How the Spanish Fleet Met Their Terri
BILE Fate.
The details of SIMPSONS glorious
victory over Cevera last Sunday, as
given in the press dispatches, are as
follows:
Cervera, after making as plucky a
fight against overwhelming odds as
is recorded in naval history, was
compelled to surrender. He was
taken as a prisoner of war, together
with every man in his fleet not
drowned or killed in the action.
The Spanish Admiral was wounded
in one of his arms, his slendid ships,
the Cristobal Colon, flagship; the
Viscaya, the Almirante Oquendo
and the Infanta Maria Teresa, and
the torpedo boat destroyers FurOr
and Pluton, lie on the Cuban rocks,
shell-ridden, smoking hulks.
Cervera, on the Colon, made the
longest run toward liberty. He
yielded to fate only in the face of
death, and is a prisoner now on the
Gloucester, which, before the war,
was j. Pierpout Morgan's yacht Cor
sair.
OF the prisoners more than four
hundred of the crew of the Viscaya
were taken by the Iowa, Capt.
Evans. Every vessel in Admiral
Simpsons fleet went through the
fierce engagement without injury.
After two days of fighting the
armies of both nations were resting
in their trenches. Admiral Samp-
son had left the fleet, desiring to as
certain the exact condition of the
Spanish coast defenses about Aqua
! dores.
Sudden as a fash, at half-past 8
O'Clock, ship appeared near the
entrance to the harbor. She was
throwing out great black clouds of
smoke, and was pointing straight to-
ward the American fleet. In a few
moments it was seen that the vessel
was the Cristobal Colon, Admiral
Cervera's flagship. She had passed
the wreck of the Merrimac and was
making for the sea at full speed.
Before Commodore Schley and his
men could recover from their sur
prise other clouds Of smoke came into

TROOPS REACH MANILA.

HONG KONG, CHINA, July 3.-The
United States cruiser Charleston,
conveying the three transports bear
ing $500 soldiers, arrived at Ma
Mia Thursday, June 80.
No news has been received of the
American operations since their ar
rival. 1t is believed here that by
this time the city of Manila has
been taken by the United States
fleet.
The island of Guaian, the largest
of the group of the Ladrone islands,
belonging to Spain, was captured by
the Charleston and the transport
while on the way. 1t is believed a
small garrison was left there after
the Spanish force had been driven
off or captured.

TuesdaY.

The first statement from the
Spanish Commander, Admiral Ger
vera, concerning his suicidal move
in rushing his fleet out of Santiago
harbor Sunday, was made to an
Associated Press correspondent on
the battleship Iowa. The captive
Admiral said: II would rather
lose my ships at sea, like a sailor,
than in harbor. 1t was the only
thing left for me to do
Tuesday at noon was the time set
for the bombardment of Santiago,
but, on account of the arrival of
Gen. Pando with about 5000 REIN
forcements for the Spaniards, this
action was postponed by Gen. Shat
ter, as he did not wish to make the
assault on the city with the forces
he then had available. Gen. Pando's
achievements increased the forces
defending the city to about $4,000
This made the effective fighting
strength of the Spaniards from a
third to a half greater than the
Americans. Gen. Shafter, in his
dispatches, states that the excessive
heat and rains for the last two
weeks have contributed nearly as
much as the Spanish bullets to the
ineffectiveness of our army.

With rush fully equal to that of the
Spanish flagship, the Almirante
OquendO came throbbing toward the
open sea. Behind her came the Wis
caya, also at full speed, while the
rear was brought up by the Infanta
Maria Teresa and the two torpedo
boat destroyers the Furor and the
