, officers and men were taken and that our
first Philippine expedition had landed-this
is in part the thrilling record Of SUCH
Fourth Of July as has not been known
since the bell of Independence Hall rang
out the tidings Of American freedom.
1t was a day when one momentous event
followed another in constant and rapid
succession, each hour bringing forth some
new feature more startling than what had
gone before.
The climax came at 1 O'clock when
amid the widest cheering, which fairly
shook the great war, state and navy build
ing to its foundation, Admiral SIMPSONS
dispatch announcing his glorious victory
ana the entire destruction Of the spanish
fleet was given to the public.
The White House was naturally the To-
cal point of the enthusiasm and stirring
activity which marked official Washing
ton
1t was the bu. test day the President has
had since the war began. Conference fol-
lowed conference with the heads of the
military and naval departments; high Off
GERS of the service came and went in con-
stant and steady stream, and as each hour
brought lis added lustre to the American
arms. the crowd Of officials increased.
The President had not a moments re-
spite. Telegrams came and went without
cessation. and the historic old mansion
presented a scene such as has not been
paralleled since the momentous hours Of
the, civil war.
The story Of the day is best told in the
series Of Official dispatches, each bearing
date Of July 4, from Sampson, from shaf-
ter and from Dewey
Stirring as they all are, that Of Sampson
was accorded the honor OF chief impor-
tance, not only FOR the immediate results
secured but also for the effects OF this
crushing defeat in weakening the defenses

Gen. Skaters other dispatches breathe
the same air of confidence and determina-
ton as shown in his demand on the Span
ish commander.
The first one made public during the day
stated that his lines completely surround
cd the town from the bay on the north 10
San Juan river on the south, leaving the
city thus envelopcd by stretch Of water
on one side aud stretch of frowning
American guns on the other
In another dispatch Gen. Shafter epltom-
lied the strength of his position by say
inP:
Il feel that am master Of the situation,
and can hold the enemy for any length Of
time"
In another dispatch, Gen. shafter states
that his demand for the surrender OF San
tlago Is still being considered by the Span
lsh authorities, which indicates that the
refusal Of the Spanish commander to cap
itulate was not final In any event, L
O'Clock on Tuesday marks the limit Of Gen.
Skaters concession, and if Santiago has
not capitulated at that hour. the great

of the city of Santiago, and in dealing
Spain such a staggering blow that she Is
left practically without a navy.
Although brief. Admiral Sampson tells
a story of fearful destruction. 1t not only
discloses the tremendous prowess of the
American fleet, but 1t again displays the
strange immunity which the American
sailor seems to have in the midst of death
and carnage.
That but one of our sailors, a man on the
Broolyn. should have been killed In the en-
gagement of this magnitude is without a
parallel in naval annals save in that other
unparalleled record which Dewey made at
Manila.
With the Spanish feet destroyed. the way
is partly cleared for the advance of the
American squadron into the harbor of San
tiaSo
If Admiral Ccrvcra's armored cruisers
could cross the mine field and clear the
Merrlmac at the entrance of the harbor
the American ships can follow the same
course.
There are the inner fortifcations and
island forts stnl TO be reduced, but they
have passed through a baptism of fire re-
Gently and are little more than ruins.
Thus with Gen. Skaters guns thun-
dering on Santiago from the land and Ad-
miral SIMPSONS from the harbOr the fall
of the city is assured beyond further
question.
The authorities here, military and ma
val, say that Santiago has already made
its best fight, and that its occupation Is
only a question of time, and a very brief
time.
Gen. Skaters strong position was
shown in series OF dispatches. Most con-
vincing of all as to his feeling of conf
dence and strength was that dispatch Civ
en- out late in the day in which Gen.
Shafter gives the text of his demand for
the surrender Of the city on pain of bonn
J bardment.
