MORO IS ABANDONED.
Santiago's Formidable Fortress is Said to
Have Been Deserted

Kingston, Jam, June 25.-Morro
Castle, the most formidable defence about
Santiago harbor it is reported, on excel
lent authority, has been abandoned by the
Spaniards. If this be true, it will now be
the simplest task for Admiral Sampson,
with such vessels in his feet as he deems
necessary, for the work, to enter the har-
bcr, attack Admiral Cervera's feet and
assist Gen. Shafter in the capture or de-
struction of the city of Santiago
Admiral Sampson has been ready for
week to smash this last remaining fort1f-
cation at the entrance to the harbor. It
was his intention to make the attack the
present Saturday, after he had verified
the information from shore that Lieut..
Hobson and his fellow heroes of the
Merrimac's crew were no longer confined
in the ancient and picturesque structure.
Moro long has possessed some of the
heaviest gu ms and most modern equip
ment to be- encountered at any point on
the Cuban coast. 1t was thought by Ad-
miral Sampson to be probably the most
difficult to silence of any of Santiago's
defences, It stands in q commanding
position, on the great bluff at the eastern
side Of the harbor, and the American
gunners anticipated some trouble in get
ting good range at first.
If the Spaniards have deserted the castle
the American fleet is likely to have little
shooting to do until itsgets within range
OF Ceryera's ships. There has been much
rivalry between the gunners on the
American warships, each being anxious to
get chance at Moro when Admiral
Sampson decided to reduce the fortifica-
tiOns.

this afternoon for tSantiago with the 9th
Massachusetts regiment and two battal-
ions of the 54th Michigan. Thousands
of people were answered with enthusiasm
by the troops who crowded the side of
the vessel and caused her to list sharply
on account of the unusual distribution
of weight.
The departure of the Harvard from
this port was in strong contrast to the
Yale's departure from Old Point on

Assistant Secretary Allen has been

fense. the Alfonso Kill, which cannot

ship, will leave Carthagena in ten days
for Cadiz, for her gun trials. The Carde-
nal Cisneros is at Feral and is of little

useless for the purpose of conveying
troops.

BY END OF WEEK.
Santiago May Fall Before

Off Santiago de Cuba, June 25, by the
Associated Press Despatch Boat, King
ston, Jamaica, June 26.-6 p m.-While
the army advances the main portion of
the feet lies patiently in front of Moro
Castle, awaiting it's opportunity. Before
the end of next week the fate of Santiago
and Admiral Cervera should be decided.
The general opinion among raval ex-
perts is that Santiago town will be
burned by the Spanish troops before they
surrender. that Admiral Cervera will de-
stroy his ships and that he will then SUBJ
NIT to the enemy. If this supposition is
correct the whole work should be accom-
plishe in week.
There is every possibility that the
Spanish troops may surrender independ-
emily Of Admiral Cervera.
When the Americans took Baquiri they
found letter partly written in the house
of the Spanish commandant. 1t was ad-
dressed to the Spanish commander at
Santiago de Cuba and had the tone of
braggadooio. 1t read in part as follows:
"I am we'll fortified and prepared to re-
sist all the forces the American pigs can
bring against u.s."
Evidently at this point the American
transports appeared and the boasting
Spanish officer ran off, leaving the letter
half written.
Two thousand Cubans were transferred
today from Acceradores to Altares. They
were taken off shore in pontoons under
the supervision of General Ludlow of the
engineers. They belonged to General
Calixto Garcia's force and transporting
them by water from the west to the east
side of Santiago saved several .days. 1t
also saved unnecessary fighting.
The Cubans will join the army's van.
All the convoy ships except the battleship
Indiana, which is of the harbor, are coal
ing at Guantanamo. The Hornet has
gone on blockade duty on the south coast.
This morning the Gloucester shelled a
Spanish party that was working at the
railroad trestles east of FL Moro.

Three Soldiers and a Porter We're
Killed.
ENGINEER WAS TO BLAME FOR
THE ACCIDENT

Tupelo, Miss, June 26.-A railway ac-
cident occurred at 8. 40 this afternoon in
which three soldiers and railway porter
lost their lives and other soldiers received
serious injuries. Everything possible was
done to relieve the wounded by the local
physicians and citizens who were soon
upon the scene. Col. Torrey's regiment

reached this ciJy via the Kansas City,
Memphis & Birmingham railroad. The
first section bad stopped to take water
and had whistled to start on when the
second section rounded sharp curve in
the track just before the town is reached
and dashed into it. In the rear of the first
section was the sleeper "Seville' contain
ing Col. Torrsy and his regimental staff.
This car was. completely demolished, yet,

scathed except the Colonel who is injured
but not seriously. The chief fatalities
occurred in a coach in the centre of the
first section which carried troop from
Laramie, Wyo. This coach was complete.

jammed and bruised beneath the masses
of timbers, broken car seats and other
debris. In the second sectionEone baggage
car was thrown into the ditch, but in this
train few were hurt and none dangerous
ly. Action on the part of the soldiers was
immediate to save their imperilled COM
rades and Withse axes Il and ropes and
buckets of water, they worked like
demons tearing away the wreckage to get
at the wounded and dead and quench the
fire which had started in the sleeper
"Seville'' which was mass of broken
engine. The wounded were removed to q
vancant building in the town. The
sections contained troops A, G, E, L, G
and III, forming part of a regiment being
transported to Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is
the second United States volunteer
cavalry. and was raised, by Col. Torrey,
its commander in the Rocky mountain
region, including the states of Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Utah.
Those soldiers killed ard mortally in
jured were from the first named state.
They had the misfortune to meet with a
wreck in the yards at ST. Joseph, Mo. :,
Friday, in which two of the train crew
were killed and ST. Louis, Saturday, one
Of the soldiers was accidentally killed by
being suffocated and falling from the
train in the long tunnel at that place.
The fault of today's accident probably
lies with the engineer of the section, who
was running too fast and near the first
section. The name of the engineer is
Rawls and he has disappeared. The
soldiers have threatened to lynch him.
Not horse was injured though the
stock cars were badly smashed.
The killed are:
Willie B. Wallace, Troop A.

missing was seen tonight, but was un-
able to talk. He received internal injuries
that have caused several hemorrhages. He
