No NEWS Up
TO MIDNIGHT


Washington, u. c., July 1l.-Ip to
midnight no news from either the army
or navy at Santiago had Irncled the
Departments so far as the public was
informed. Though the possibility Of in
terrupted cable communication was sng-
gested as an explanation for the lack of
adviceS it was announced at midnight
that nothing had been filed at Playa del
Este for the officials here. Both Secre-
taries Long and Alger were at the White
House during the evening but returned
to their residences early and gave no
outward sign of anxiety or expectation
of startling news. The arrival of Gen
eral Miles and the conference between
him and the commanding officers of the
army and navy is taken by some to in
dicate that if fighting occurred today it
was not of serious character. for with
n heavy engagement in progress it was
hardly possible that Admiral Sampson
or General Shafter would find time for
conference. 1t is thought that possibly
the arrival of General Miles caused II
suspension of active operations in or
der that tn ntire situation might he de-
scribed. But this view of the situation
is speculative. and without dehnitE~N
vices no one can say exactly what the
day has brought forth at Santiago. Of
iicialS contend that delay of Il day or
so can only result in betterng the posi-
ton of the American forces, give oppor-
tunty for the re-enforcements to go to
the front and allow the newly arrived
artillery to be placed in advantageous
location. 1t is believed that if the con-
hict was not resumed today Il final at
tack is not far distant.

request was readily granted. but Cap

and eloquent address to the long line

r Washington, ID. c., June 11.-Surgeon
General Sternberg received II dispatch
today from Surgeon Richards stating
that the hospital train bearing the
wounded to Fort Mcpherson. near At
lanta, was in Il rear end collision six
miles south of High Springs, Fla, at
D. m. last night. No one was hurt, the
dispatch said, but the private car was
demolished.
General Sternberg says the demolition
of the private car will not seriously in
terfere with the efficiency of the hospi-
tai train.

situation in Santiago was bad. but by
no means hopeless from the Spanish
point of view He said troops had food
enough for their present needs, were in
good health and would make good
fight when they were called upon. He
said the men were given 81 each on
Saturday and as it was the first money
they had received in many months they
were feeling very cheerful. The water
supply for the Spanish troops is get
ting quite bad and the amount of it is
somewhat limited. although up to this
time there mas been no serious distress
on this account. Desertions from the
ranks of the Spanish volunteers contin-
tinue. and it is now said that fully 5000
men who agreed to fight for Spain are
out of the city.
:. party of 800 cavalry left the city
Sunday morning. marching in the direc-
ton of Holguin. The Spanish infantry
have removed all light articles from the
trenches to facilitate their movements in
case the abandonment of the city is de-
termined upon.

morning after several range finding
shots over the ridge protecting Santiago
from the sea- the United States cruiser
Newark opened fire into the city with
her S-inch guns.
The signal corps officers stationed on
top Of the ridge reported the effect of
the shots.
The New York. Brooklyn. and Indiana
participated in the firing, at intervals
of five minutes.
The bombardment lasted for two
hours. when General Shafter reported
that the shells were mostly falling in
the bay and doing but little damage.
The last shot, however. struck Il
prominent church in the heart of the
city which was heavily stored with pow
der and ammunition. causing a tremen-
dous explosion. The extent of the dam
age is not yet known.
When the warships ceased firing and
before General Shafter had begun a

m.)-Thc Board of Survey appointed to
examine the wrecks of the Spanish ships
and to inquire into the nature of their
injuries reports that only one ship can
possibly be saved. She is the Infanta
Maria Teresa, the former flagship of
Admiral Cervera.
The hull of the Cristsba Colon shows
she was only hit six times and then only
by shells of S-inch. 5-inch and 6-inch
calibre. This verifies the story that the
commander of the Cristobal Colon sur
rendered because he saw she could not
get away from the Brooklyn and Ore
gon, and to continue the battle meant
"A sacrifice Of life. 1t was found that
the brass plugs of the large guns and
the bolts and locks of the small arms
had been thrown overheard.
The ViZcaya showed she had been rid

had not been struck by projectiles larger
than S-nch. Her upper works were
riddled by one and six FOUNDER shells.
Nearly all of these shells exploded in
SIDE the SuperStructureS ana must have
driven the men from the guns This
confirms the story of Captain Eulate
that the Brooklyn's secondary battery
fire was so terrible that the men desert
ed their guns.
The Survey Board arrived at the
wrecks of the Almirante Oquendo and
lnfanta Maria Teresa last night at
dark and the work consequently was
postponed.
a singular fact noted on the four
ships is that all the guns were trained
forward and the story that they were
all directed to fire on the Brooklyn is
therefore shown to be true.
The magazines of all the ships ex-
ploded and the effect was to blow up the
decks and not completely pulverize the
hull or turn the keel up. as was in the
case of the battleship Maine. This is
looked upon as being important.
