The attacks were continued at intervals
throughout the rest of the night, with fir

tions
Toward morning the firing slackened
Dawn is the favorite time for attack, and,
as the east paled, the Marines lying on
their guns, were aroused. Some were
actually asleep. as they had had no rest
for forty-cight hours and tired nature
could no longer stand the strain. But no
attack came.

As the correspondent of the Associated

in charge of the outposts, word came of
the finding of the body Of Sergt Smith.
He was reported as having been killed at

pears that he had been seen alive at 10
O'Clock IN the evening. When and how he
was killed no one knows at this writing.
Neither had the men been mustered, nor
had the outposts Of Lieuts. Neville and
Shaw been relieved
Lieut.. Col. Huntington and Maj. Cockrell
gave high praise to the nerve and steadi-
ness of officers and men, especially the
young ones as the engagement was a
baptism Of fire for a large majority.
The men were in darkness and in a
strange land, but they stood to their posts
with courage and fortitude, and there was
no sypmtom of panic.
The marines, though exhausted, were
eager for more fighting, promising to in
fiict heavy punishment They compli-
mented the daring of the Spaniards with
Characteristic camp profanity.
To-day the amplest precautions have
been taken, and, as the Dauntless was
leaving, reinforcements were landing from
the Marblehead.
A stormy time was expected.
Estimates vary as to the attacking force
some say 200, and the figures run as high
as geo.

SPAIN IN Low SPIRITS.
Business Men Expect War to End in
a Month.

London, June 13.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing
Sunday, says:
"An extremely bad impression is current
tonight as to the outcome of events.
Business men are inclined to the belief
that the war will be short, probably only
lasting another month.
Military men hold the opposite view,
considering that Spain can put much reli-
ance on the elements
"At the cabinet council to-day, Duke AL
madovar de Rio, the foreign minister
made a report as to his conferences with
the ambassadors of the Powers It is un-
derstood that nothing definite has been
arrived at.
Capt Aunon, minister of marine tele-
graphs from Cadz that the recruiting for
Admiral Camara's squadron Is being accei-
Grated.
while the American landing in Cuba is
officially denied, the authorities assert that
even if it were true 1t would be uuimpor-
tant. as the Spanish army would give
good account of itself 1t is believed that
the question Of the food supplies. so far as
the peninsula is concerned, Is settled, at
least until October"

marking that Guantanamo bay will serve
admirably as a coaling station and shell
tered harbor for the large American fleet,
thus playing the exact part assigned to It
by Admiral Vernon. in 1741, and the ma
rines being employed as an advance guard,
in accordance with numberless precedents
in the history of the British navy, says;
THE Spanish garrison, we think, does not
exceed 10000 men, who have an immense
position to hold and are lacking in sup
plies.
Therefore, Gen. Skaters difficulties
will be mainly those of climate and move
ment, owing to the absence Of good roads.
"On the other hand the difficulties OF
communication will prevent the dispatch
of re-inforcements from Havana and the
Santiago garrison will be left to its own
resources.
Admiral Cervera's proceedings have
proved that the Spanish ships find 1t i'm
possible TO keep at sea, and, If il oe true
that the minister of marine has dismissed
the capable Scotch engineers In its ser
vice. the dificultyis fully accounted for.
"It is highly improbable that Admiral
Camara win attempt to cross the Atlantic,
but some fast American cruisers may ap-
pear ere long in Spanish waters.
In the recnt actions in the Philippines
the insurgents seem TO have fought with
the courage displayed.by their forefathers
against Gen. Draper 5 troops in lI52. In
view of Capt. Gen. Augustus dispatch the
surrender of Manila appears inevitable
within fortnight
'In Spains interest it is hoped that
when Manila and Santiago have fallen
she will recognize the necessity of bring
ing to an end a contest unequal from the
first, and rendered hopelessly 50 by her
total unpreparedness.
The Times, commenting editorially on
the arrival of a new stage in the develop

Judging from past experience of the work
of the Spanish army against the insur-
gents, the reduction of Santiago viii MOI
prove formidable task. In any event we
shall soon know whether the Spanish army
can better vindcate the ancient fighting
reputation of the Spanish race than Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron has done it,"
The Daily Telegraph says editorially this
morning: I'VE learn from an exception

cations of a character which lend them

passing between Vienna, Paris, Berlin an6
