Considering the fact that not over H.
600 were engaged on our side. and that not
all OF those were actually under fire, the
percentage OF loss IL very heavy. The
slaughter was brought about mainly by
the gallantry with which our troops ad-
vanced into the open ground In the face OF
heavy fire from the Spanish entrench-
ments and rifle pits. Our men generally
had an opinion that the Spaniards could
not shoot and many, it must be confessed,
thought they would not fight. Both i'm
pressions were erroneous, particularly the
latter. The Spanish have fought with great
determination and bravery. The returns
show that number OF regiments suffered
very heavily, the Seventy-frst New YORK

regiments, and the Thirteenth and Sixth

regulars, with the Seventh and Sixteenth

The rtlnors arose from the strange

sounding name, now under restraint on
the Warship because of his eccentrici-
ties. The officers Of the Puritan declare
there Is no Thought of trying the man
by court martial, and that all the talk
about treason Is absurd
1t appears that a few days ago the
man in question was seen in one of the
monitors turretS, and the man who
saw him reported that he had his hand
OH the lock of the magazine, whereupon
the f1rSt man was placed under re-

came excited and declared there was

The officers Of the Puritan believe
the man, who is a fireman, is Cuban

never given evidence of any Sort of
sympathy with Spain, but, they add, on
the contrary, when the Puritan was of
Matanzas, = the, man was frequently
heard to say he would like to get ashore
to join the insurgents.
The actions of the officers of the
monitor in placing the man under re-
straint Were guided solely by the dan
ger of allowing an unevenly balanced
man to be at large.

A small Spanish sloop, the Engracia,

here this morning. She was in charge

The officers of the Newport say the
capture is an important one, in view
of the fact that the little vessel was
attempting to carry into Havana news
of the movements Of the United States

Mr.. Legare had noticed ahe published

the United States and Itayti, which,
1t was asserted, gave exceptional prlvi-

The minister made cas eful exanin-
alton of his official text OF the treaty,
and was unable to locate any such ex-
ceptional privilege. The treaty was
made during the Civil war and contains
many provisions relative to conditions
of war. But Mr.. Legare's reading of
them does not disclose any provisions

Manilt at 2 p. m. Saturday; that Is,

be, therefore, that the AsiRtic squadron has
already engaged the Spaniards. The COM
mander of the Spanish feet has the reputa-
tion In Europe for daredevil bravery, but
he Will have to be cautious
The Spanfards have at the Philippines four
cruisers, four gunboats and one dispatch boat
We will meet these with SIX Of the best
cruisers In the world. News travels slow from
the Philippines, and it is probable that no
word will be received till tomorrow. Cable
communication from Manila is by way Of
Bolinco to Hong Kong, thence through India
and across the Arabian sea to Alden, up the
Red sea to Suez and Port Said thence
through the Mediterranean to Marseil,es and
Brest, France.
Should 1t transpire that we whip Spain it
is hardly possible that she will permit us
to transmit the intelligence over her cable to
Hong Kong. Therefore a vessel would have
to go to that port with tidings. In the mean
time, there is nothing but conjecture, which
arouses anxiety on the part of the admins
tration. There will be a. great suspense until
news Of the battle reaches Washington.
