urauSnC, were sent In close, TO
handle the remaining vessels of
the fleet. They made quick work
of them.
In taking possession of the land
forts several hundred wounded
Spanisrd, fell into the bands of
the Americans and nearly 200
dead were accounted for on the
spot. Holes in which numbers
had been hastily buried we're
found. The dead were returned
TO relatives as far us this could be
done and the wounded were
cared for in the best manner by
the American surgeons.
The Spanish loss footed up 400
killed, 600 wounded and a prop
erty loss of anywhere from Sc, ,000,-
600 to $1O,O00,OOO.
The day of the fight was clear
and hot. Not a breath of air was
stirring.
After the first battle the Ameri-
cans were greatly tagged by the
heat, and the rest and breakfast
allowed them by the commodore
was of inestimable benefit. When
the men were at breakfast con
ference OF all the officers was held
on board the Olympia, when the
plan of the second battle was
made known by the commodore.
Several shots struck the Olym-
pia, and she was pierced number
of times. One shell struck the
side of the ship against the hos
pital ward. The chaplain and
nurses were stunned by the con
cussion.
Experts have figured out that
the fighting volume of the guns
of the respective sides of the bat
tie was three for the Americans
against seven for the Spanish. 1t
is clear, then, that the superiority
was in the ship. and the men.
Paymaster Loud, who was on
the MCCULLOUGH during tho bat
tie, was a witness of events on
both sides From his position he
could sac every movement of the
American ships and could also see
the battle plans of the Spaniards.

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS

Washington, May 13.-Direct orders
suspending for the present the movement
of the invading army upon Cuba. Gen
eral Miles therefore postponed his depart
ure for the south and it was announced
authoritatively by the war department
officials that it cmould not be stated with
deiniteness when General Miles would
leave.
The suspension Of the movement Of the
invading army upon Cuba was induced
by the proximity Of the Spanish Cape
Verde squadron to Cuban waters. 1t
was deemed by the department officials
10 be the part Of wisdom not to risk the
landing of troops on Cuban soil until the
landing could be effected under the pro-
lection of a stronger feet than is now
available for the purpose of protection.
The fact that the army movement had
been postponed was direct evidence that
q decisive battle was expectd to occur
within a few days 1t was not doubted
tina tn squadron under the command of
Admiral Sampson would seek an engage
ment via the Spanish fleet a. once and it
was with the idea Of awaiting the result
Of that conflict that the orders for the
movement Of the land forces were held
in allegiance temporarily.
Assistant Secretary Of War Meikeliohn
announced today that the department ac-
qured yesterday two additional vessels
for transport purposes. They are the
Saltwater and the Brealzwater. both of
New Orleans. To common with the other
twenty-seven vessels of the Atlantic
transport fleet. they are fine sea-going
ships. No chances have been taken by
the department in securing transport yes
fels. Secretary NIaikeljohn says every
ol.e Of them is capable of crossing the |
Atlantic safely in, any kind of weather. |
carrying cargo TO the utmost capacity Of |
the vessel. The twenty-nine transport
chips TOW at the disposal of the war de- /
partment on the Atlantic are capable in /
the aggregate Of carrying o. 900 troops |
and 10000 animals. As soon as the de- |
partment is prepared to start the army
expedition to Cuba The vessels will be
concentrated at points on the southern
coast and the entire feet will move to
Cuba as a body, under suitable escort of
war ships.
1t was announced Yesterday that the
transports al New York would proceed
south with regiments Of New York and
Massachusetts volunteers. Today. how
ever, the vessels We're ordered not to
move until further advices had been given
them. These orders were issued IN view
Of the reports from several sources that
two or more Spanish war vessels had /
been sighted off the upper Atlantic coast.
In view Of the suspension Of the land
movement upon tuba it was not deemed
advisable = send transports loaded with
troops south at Ibis :lma
