Playa del Este, July 13-General
Skaters position has been greatly
strengthened by the arrival Of rein
forcements of Illinois volunteers. Col
onel Turner's First Illinois regiment
from Chicago and Colonel Jack Fosters
Sixth Illinois now occupy positions be-
tween General Wheeler's and General
Lawton's divisions, and before Santiago
is taken the Illinois boys will see some
severe fighting. The positions occupied
by the First and Sixth is close to the
front, and already desultory firing has
taken place between the American sem
tries with Turner and Foster and the
Spaniards in the trenches.
Colonel Turner's boys are anxious for
active service, and are ready and will
ing to charge into the trenches. This
order may be given, and the chicago
boys will have an opportunity to DEM
onstrate their courage under heavy
fire, for the Spanish position in front
Of the First and Sixth Illinois is for

Santiago Is now completely surrounded
by the American and Cuban forces, the
last gap being filed by the Illinois and
Ohio troops. The Spaniards now have
no avenue of escape left and must sur
render. General Shafter is decided not
to take that city by assault, as 1t would
cost too many lives. He will force the
Spaniards to surrender by bombardment
and starving them out.

Improvement in Treating Wounded.

eral Van Reypen of the navy has re-
ceived report from the surgeons with
the fleet showing that In the many
cases Of wounded, some of them seri-
Gus, not a rise of temperature or an
accumulation of pus has appeared In
any case. From a medical standpoint
this is said to be a marked advance
from the conditions during the civil
war, and is attributed to the introduc-
tion of antiseptic treatment of wounds.
IT shows that no fever follows the
wounds, and that with the absence Of
pus the wounds heal rapidly without
complications.

Playa del Este, July 13.-The navy
did its first work here since the destruc-
ton of Admiral Cervera's squadron.
when, acting in conjunction with the
army, three warships shelled the city
for an hour. 1t is said that this is the
first naval bombardment Of a city since
the British fleet fired on Alexandria,
Egypt, in 1882. The Brooklyn, Indiana,
and Texas ranged themselves in the
afternoon about half mile apart along
the Morro peninsula, east OF Aguadores.
The Indiana held the most western po-
sition, being about half mile east OF
that place.
The vessels were about 500 yards off
shore. The Brooklyn opened the firing
with her port battery. She fired seven
shots, when the Texas opened and was
soon followed by the Indiana. There
was an interval of two minutes between
the shots, which had been agreed upon
! to give the ships opportunity to receive
word from the army headquarters II
their shells were wrongly placed. The
ships could see nothing of their target,

hills at a range of 10000 yards, north

fire of the Americans. either from the
MORO or the outlying batteries, though
| the ships were in easy range or the
eastern battery.
| Shortly after the bombardment began
| a heavy rain set in, accompanied by
thunder, which crashed as loud as the
shells from the Texas. In the intervals
| between the peals of thunder and the
roar Of the shells could be heard the
shots of the artillery ashore, the land
forces having begun their attack at the
same time the ships opened fire. This
is the first naval attack that has taken
place, in the rain. The firing ceased
shortly after o'clock, on receipt OF a
report from General Shafter that the
missiles were landing too close to his
lines. 1t is expected that the lombard
ment will be resumed.
