Before Santiago. July with the
destruction of Admiral Cerveras fleet
the work of taking Santiago becomes
much less difficult. AS long as Cen
eral Shafter had no siege guns and
could not be assisted by a friendly fleet
in the harbor. the capture of the city
promised to be a hard task and it
would be practically impossible to hold
the city If captured.
1t is now estimated that between l.
200 and 800 Americans are dead, woun-
ded or missing after the two days
fighting about Santiago. 1t is stated
by one of the surgeons who assisted IN
the hospital work that probably 25O to
800 Americans were killed.
No official list or official estimate Of
the dead and wounded can be obtained
yet Unofficial estimates place our los
ses as high as 1000, and to date $50 men
suffering from wounds that are not
serious have been brought to the hos
pital our surgeons have not enough
supplies. bandages or nurses. The

Washington, July THE engage
ment in which Admiral SIMPSONS ships
utterly destroyed Cervera's redoubta-
BILE squadron stands unparalleled in the
annals of naval warfare.
1t was the most desperate and decis-
I've, as we'll as the briefest fight of steel
clads ever known.
The engagement lasted four and a
half hours and in that time the main
naval strength of Spain was shattered.
Admiral Sampson was not present
save in the last few moments Of the
battle, his flag ship, the New York, re-
turning from a run to the eastward in
time to fire only a few shots.
The Spanish loss in killed and drow-
ned was $50, and in wounded 100.
Not one of the American ships was
injured.
The American loss was one killed, one
wounded.
There is not an officer of the Ameri-
can fleet but admres Cervera for his
courage, and when the foremost admi-
raj in the Spanish navy stepped, a
prisoner, aboard the converted gunbOat
Gloucester, Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright, who h2d been the Maine s
executive officer extended his hand to
the vanquished officer and said:
II congratulate YOU, sir, upon maxi

speak in answer. He covered his face
and wept.

There was no mistaking the heartbro-
ken expression on the old seaman's face
as he took the proffered hand of Cap
tain Wainwright and was shown to the

to bear bravely the bitter defeat that
had come to him. He thanked the cap
tain of the Gloucester for the words Of
generalization offered on his gallant
fight and then spoke earnestly Of his
solictude for the safety of his men on
shore. He informed Captain VAIN
wright that Cuban soldiers were on the
hills preparing to attack his unarmed
men and said he thought his sailors had
suffered enough in their battle with the
American forces and that he was will
ling to surrender his entire command
but he asked that some protection be
given to Ais men until they could be
taken off in the American vessels Cap

ports from his own officers regarding
