General Kent's report of casualties has
been forwarded. They were: Killed. II Off
GERS, 81 men: wounded, So officers, SCI men;
missing &c men.
The strength given in the statement
above is the aggregate strength of the COM
mand but as there were many details the
above figures are about Is per cent. greater
than the forces actually engaged in battle.
General Kent'S force on July was about
four thousand. The command has been ac-
tive in strengthening their position and
commanders and their stats have thorough
~ informed themselves as to the topo-
graphical features of the country and the
situation of the enemy. Very respectfully,

General Wheeler. writing from San Juan,
has the following to say about Withdrawing
from the position we had won:
IT examined the line in front of Woods
brigade and gave the men shoves and
picks and insisted them going right TO
work | also sent word to General Kent to
come and get intrenching tools, and saw
the same thing They all promise to do their
best but say the earth is very difficult, as
great part of it is rocky. The positions our
men carried were very strong and the in
trenchments were formidable A number OF
officers have appealed to me to have the line
withdrawn and take up a strong position
farther back, and l expect they will appeal
this, as it would cost US much prestige. The
lines are very thin. as so many men have
gone to the rear with wounds and so many
are exhausted but hope these men can be
got UP tonight, and with our line IN
trenched and LaWton on our right we ought
to hold tomorrow: but l fear it will be
severe day If we can get through to-mor-
very strong the next night. You can hardly
realize the exhausted condition of the
troops. The Third and Sixth Cavalry and
other troops were up marching and halted
on the road all last night and have fought
for twelve hours to-day, and those that are
not on the line will be digging trenches to-

JEFFRlES INJURED.
Shattered His Left Arm on the Hard
Head of Bob Armstrong.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Jim Jeffries the
much-heralded heavyweight pugilist from
California, was to have fought Bob Arm
strong and Steve ODonnell for ten rounds
each before the Lenox Athletic Club to-
night, but he was only able to carry out
half of his proposed task. He met Arm
strong and defeated him, but in doing so,
shattered his left arm and was unable to
meet ODonnell This was an unfortunate
thing, both for Jeffries and the club, as the
former felt perfectly confident of defeating
both men and the managers of the club
were sorry to be compelled to disappoint
their patrons. Many shrewd judges of box
ers were satisfied that Jeffries is a promis-
ing and coming pugilist.
Armstrong went at it rather carefully at
first. There was considerable sparring and
some good blows were exchanged, Arm
strong receiving some hard jabs. BY the be-
ginning of the sixth round Bob was aware
that he was up against a stin game and
went at it accordingly. The result was that
in the ninth round Bob was weakening but
came up game. He jabbed his left on the
face and Jeffries hooked his right on the
ribs. Jim then uppercut with his left on
face and jabbed the same glove to the face
twice. Jeffries continued this line of at
tack all through the round and Bob did not
land blow.
Round 10.-They shook hands at the ref
eree's bidding and Jeffries hooked his right
on the ribs. They exchanged lefts on the
face and after a good deal of foot work
Jeffries put Bob fiat on his back with left
swing on the head. Bob took eight seconds
OF rest and when he came up Jeffries
hooked right and left on the jaw. These
blows dazed Bob, but JeffrieS kept pound
ing him and Armstrong ran to the ropes
without making an attempt to strike back.
1t was all one-sided now and although Bob

JeffrieS the winner while Armstrong S
friends were telling the colored man that he
had done well. Armstrong certainly stood
the ''gaff" fairly WELL but he was far out
classed.
Those who were near the ringside looked
at Jeffries's injured hand and il was certain
ly in very bad shape. O'Donnell entered the
ring and said that ne would box Arm
strong to pacify the audience. but Arm
strong had had enough and refused to go

NORFOLK, Va, Aug 5.-Admiral Ger

rived here this morning from Baltimore.
They left Annapolis, where they have been
prisoners of war for several weeks. on pa

granted special permission to visit Captain
Concha, commander of the admirals flag
ship, Maria Teresa, and the other Spanish
sick and wounded at the naval hospital
here The steamer flew her bunting in hon
or Of the admiral and a launch lay at the
pier to receive the distinguished prisoners.
Lieutenant Commander r. NJ. G. Brown,
retired, met the admiral and his son as they
stepped Off the steamer, and it was with
difficulty that they pushed their way
through the crowd. At the naval hospital
the Spanish admiral was received by a
guard CT honor and at once was conducted
to Captain Concha's room. This was the
first time they had met since that fatal
dash out of Santiago harbor. The meeting
was a pathetic one, the admiral and the
captain embracing one another like chill
dren. The admiral visited Lieutenant Noval,
OF the Fulton, who lost leg, Drs. Nicoli
and Augusti, of the Vizcaya. and the
scenes were equally affecting. When their
former chief entered the ward where the
Spanish sailors are, the latters faces lit Up
ana they embraced MIN as best they could,
their joy being plainly visible. The admiral
took lunch with Medical Director Gle
borne.
The party returned to the Naval Hospital
and Captain Concha was again visited, the
admiral and his son spending the remai nder
of their time with him. At parting with DR..
Cleborne the admiral paid him a high COM
pliment on the courtesy, care and attention
given the Spanish officers and men. At 5
O'Clock admiral and Lieutenant Cervera left
for Annapolis. Several invitations to visit
nearby watering places were extended, but
were declined with regrets

a right on Peppers's head and a left on his
jaw. Peppers went down. but was on his
feet right away. Later he slipped to the
floor, apparently TO avoid Buffers blows.
Almost Immediately following Butler landed
a hard right over Peppers's heart, putting
him out. 1t was some time before the Cal
ifornian regained consciousness.

SUPPLIES FOR CUBANS.
Arms and Ammunition Landed by the
Wanderer at Three Points.

KEY WEST Fla, Aug 5,-The steam
ship Wanderer returned here to-day after
effecting a successful landing of arms and
ammunition at three different points on the
Cuban coast. She left here early in July with
about forty Cubans anxious to join their
fighting compatriots and eleven members of
the Third United States Cavalry to protect
the landing of about two thousand rifles
and carbines, with nearly a million cart
ridges. On July 23 she attempted to dis
charge her cargo at Bahia Honda, province
of Pinar del Rio, but was fought off by a
force of several hundred Spaniards, who
peppered the ships hull with Mauser bull
let's killed three Cuban scouts who were
waiting to receive the expedition and
wounded six of the Wanderers crew.
The steamer then came back to Key West,
left her injured men in the hospital here and
started on her second attempt This time
she went to a point about six miles east
of Bahia Honda, where she met a small
party of insurgents from Colonel Carillo's
forces, but no Spaniards. About one-third
of her cargo was discharged here and twen-
ty-five Cubans were put ashore The Wan
derer then headed for the mouth of the
Manati river province of Puerto Principe,
where, on the night of July 3d. she landed
without difficulty about the same quantity
of arms and ammunition and seven Cubans.
From there she went to Puerto Padre, in
the same province, where the remainder of
her cargo and men were disembarked. All
three landings were made without the
necessity of firing a shot.
The torpedo boat Talbot returned here to-
day. On Monday last, under a flag of truce.
she steamed to within a mile and half of
Moro Castle, where the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Pinzon came out and re-
ceived her papers.

SHOULD KEEP THE ISLANDS.
Senator Foraker Opposed to Giving
Up the Philippines.

MANSFIELD, o., Aug. BIN letter to a
friend in this city, which is published this
afternoon, Senator Foraker says. regarding
the Philippine islands: II think it would be
nothing short of crime to return them to
the government of Spain. The tyranny
Spain has practiced over that people for
years has been worse than her expressions
in Cuba. 1t is in the most reprehensible
sense of the word a corrupt and tax-ridden
country I feel that the United States has
a mission clearly appointed by divine Prov
idence in this whole matter, and that we
shall fail to fully manifest it's purposes if
We allow the Philippines to remain under
the yoke and in the midnight darkness to
which they have been subjected | cannot
believe the President will think of such a
thing as returning those islands to SPAIN
Now that we have them we should Keep
them. We would have no more trouble Civ

not as much, as We had in governing the

SENATOR BACON PROTESTS.
He Objects to Sending "Immunes" to
Santiago, and Is Rebuked.

MACON, Ca, Aug. 5-Senator Bacon to-
day sent the following telegram to the War
Department protesting against the move
ment of Colonel Rays Third Regiment
United States Volunteers to Santiago de
Cuba:
1T is distinctly understood throughout the
whole country that the Third Regiment
United States Volunteers, although called
immune are no more immune from yellow
fever than any other volunteer regiment
1t is composed almost exclusively of Geor-
CLANS, nearly all of whom are very young
men and many of them minors. When en-
listed, the government subjected them to a
rigid physical examination, but no proof
was demanded or desired as to their i'm
munity from yellow fever. 1t is not even
pretended that a man in the regiment has
ever had yellow fever. To send these young
men and boys to Santiago at this time with
no enemy to fight, is to expose them to the
same deathly peril from yellow fever as is
now sald TO confront those who, having
reaped the honors, are now demanding to
De sent to a northern seaside. If more troops
were now needed at Santiago, or If fighting
were to be done, the order for this regiment
would be approved by all, but it is a wholly
uinerent matter to send them into pesti-
fence tnat other soldiers who are probably
more nearly immune than they may be re-
moved from the danger. A solemn sense of
my DUTY TO these young men impels me.
therefore, to request most earnestly and
urgently that the order for their removal
to Santiago be revoked. l send this without
the knowledge of any officer or man in the
regiment A. o. BACON
United States Senator
Against this. Colonel Ray, who had not
been consulted, most vigorously protested
saying II was an unwarranted interference
on the senator's part He declared his regi-
ment had not been organized on an immune
basis and that ii was not a Georgia regi-
ment at all. All the officers of the regiment
signed protest against any revocation of
orders and neither Senator Bacon nor
Colonel Ray have received any informa ton
to the contrary. the regiment will move TO-
morrow night TO Savannah. and sail from
that city Sunday morning for Santiago.
