SIMPSONS Fleet Still Pounding
the Batteries at Mouth Of
Santiago HarbOr.
ONLY Ell MCRRO FORT WAS SPARED.
The Dynamite Cruiser Vesuvius Was
Given Another Chance and
Did Great Damage.
Charge of Gun Cotton Exploded on Cayo
Smith ana a Hole Big Enough TO Hold
aChurch Was Blown Out of the
Side of the Fort.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 15, via
Kingston, Jamaica, June 1I-Rr.
Adm. SIMPSONS fleet bonbarded the
batteries at Santiago de Cuba for the
third time at daylight this morning.
For hours the ships pounded the bat
teries at the right and left of the en-
trance, only sparing Ell Moro, where
Lieut. Hobson and his companions Of
the Merrimac are in prison.
The western batteries, against which
the main assault was directed, were
badly wrecked. One was utterly de-
stroyed. In others many guns were
dismounted.
AT first the Spaniards answered pas
sionately and wildly, but impotently.
Then most of the guns were deserted.
Not ship was struck, nor a man in
jured on the American side.
1t is believed that the enemy's loss of
life was heavy.
AS preliminary to the hammering
given the batteries, the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius last night at mid
night was given another chance.
Three ESQ pound charges of gun cotton
were sent over the Notifications at the
entrance. The design was to drop
them in the bay, around the angle
back of the eminence on which El Nor
70 is situated, where it was known
that the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers were lying. Two charges
vent true, as no reports were heard
peculiarly of the explosion of gun
cotton in water. Whether the destroy
ers were demolished is not known but
the destructive area of gun cotton is
large and it would not be surprising il
one or both were destroyed.
The third charge exploded with ter.

rife violence on Cayo Smith. From
where the fleet lay the entrance to the
harbor looked, in the black night, like
door opening into livid fire Of
Titanic furnace. A crater big enough
10 hold church was blown out of the
side of the Cayo Smith and was clearly
seen from the ships this morning.
Adm. Sampson issued the orders for
the bombardment last night. Coffee
was served to the men at half-past
three this morning and with the first
blush of dawn the men were called
quietly to quarters. The ships steam
ed in ive-knot speed to 5000 yards
range, when they closed up, broadside
on, until a distance Of three cable
lengths separated them. They were
strung out in the form Of crescent,
the heavy fighting ships in the center,
the flagship on the right flank and
the Massachusetts, on the left flank.
The line remained stationary through
out the bombardment. The Vixen and
Scorpion took up positions on opposite
tanks, close in shore for the purpose
of enflading any infantry that might
FIRE upon the ships.
Fifteen minutes later at 5:o5 a m.
the New York opened with broadside
from her main battery at the works on
the east OF the entrance to the harbor
All the ships followed in red streaks of
fame. The f.et, euveloped in smoke,
pelted the hills and kicke. up dirt and
masonry. 1t was a magnificent spec
tacle from where the Dauntless lay.
Though the gun captains had
been cautioned not to waste
ammunition but to Are with
| deliberation, the fire was so rapid tba,
there was an almost continuous re-
port The measured crash Of the big
l3.inch guns of the tattle ships sound

secondary batteries like thunder clap'
| above the din of a hurricane. A strong
land breez. off the shore carried the
smoke OF the ships seaward, while i
let down thick curtain in front o
the Spanish gunners-
The dons responded spiritedly a
first, but their frenzied, half craze'
fire could not match the cool nerv'

the American sailors.
