Through 1T all the Cubans on the Ameri-

Spaniards and waving their machetes.
Their contempt for Spanish and their abb
solute fearlessness was amply proved; but
their craftsmanship had little to oom-

and the marines swept down the hillside
the insurgents went almost mad with

A few shots have been exchanged but no
Americans hurt.
Estimates as to the total number of
Spaniards about Camp McCalla vary
wildly, but as nearly as can be learned
from Cuban scouts about 1000 men have
been engaged in the attacks. Had they
been in any way equal to the Americans
who opposed them, they would long since
have recaptured the camp and driven the
Americans back to the ships. The fact
that six Americans have been killed, and

other way. Every one Of those killed died
almost instantly after being struck. The
three wounded men are out Of danger and

march was fearful one The trail ran

side Of ridge, facing, and not more than
a mile from the sea. 1t was noon when
from the top of the nearest hill Capt.
Elliott caught sight of the place on the
ridge below him. The men were qui ckly

Spanish bullets sang continuously above

ministry were discussed.
Already work has been begun in re-
conditioning the coast forts, etc., and
augmenting tbs sub. marine defenses.
The tone of the newspaper press is de-
spoudent and many journals bemoan
the fact that the powers have abandoned
Spain while she is defending their cause.
They say that France, having received
ton, remains Indifferent, while Germany
. keeps In the back ground and Russia
uses Spain as cats paw in her diplo-
macy. Spain must in no case, the papers
declare, accept the Intervention Of Europe.
1t would be better to treat directly with
the enemy.
It is hoped in official circles that the
Spanish forces will be able to defend
Santiago until Gen. Pando's reinforce
ments arrive there by forced marches.

as his text John !, 40. President Butler
said in part; "The indifference Of men

the realization of perfect character and
life. The universe has SO Judged. No
one dissents. Yet men contemplate that
character with indifference OF refuse to

proof OF moral and physical unsoundness,

guerilla fashion, covering their bodies
with palm leaves and gently waving large
leaves over their heads. Thus disguished

growth almost at will, the sharpest being
unable to detect them except when they
fired. During the day the earthworks
were strengthened and additional rifle

wisdom OF the measure was proved. From
dark until daylight the marines lay under
an almost constant fire. Early in the

DASHED THROUGH THE LINE
Of sentries and running straight across
the eastward side of the camp, poured
volley among the startled Americans. 1t
was then that. 4 Gibbs, the surgeon, was
killed. with sergeant and two men. The
guerrillas were evidently acting under
skilled chieftain, for their attacks and
changes of position came with bewilder-
ing frequency. They tired from the hills
back o! the American position, from the
low point towards the sea line, from the
direction of the city, and twice even crept
into the bushes on the beach between the
marines and the warships in the bay.
They covered their approaches and re-
treats with marvellous cunning and older
and more experienced men than the ma
rines might have been pardoned had
they been stampeded. But through it
all the splendid fellows cody b1azed
away, guided by the rife flashes of the
enemy and if there was one faint heart
in the 600, it was not found out.

eran like work. The victory was COM
piete ~
Gen. Wheeler, in his official report,
placed the number of dead in the en-
gagement at Sevilla at 20 and the wound
ed as between 70 and so No attempt has
yet been made to prepare an official list
with the names of the dead and wounded.
The high grass and bushes OF the battle
ground make it difficult to find the
bodies, but an official list will probably
be prepared by Monday. The bodies of
Spanish loss in killed and wounded was
doubtless much heavier than the Ameri-
cans.
Tho majority of the American troops
are now here or at the front in the vicini-
ty of SeVilIa. The force at the latter place
is about nine miles from Santiago, num-
Der 5000 Americans and 1900 Cubans.
Gen. Wheeler is in command there, with
Generals Young, Lawton and Chaffee.
Gen. Wheeler will remain at Sevilla,
which will be made rendezvous for the
troops landing at Baiquiri and at that
point. The artillery and cavalry are be-
ing put forward from Baiquiri and the
cavalry have been sent ahead to cut
wagon road through the under brush.
From the American position at Sevilla,
Santiago is plainly visible and the forth
iications can be seen. The following re-
ports to Gen. Shafter from generals at tho
front show these conditions:
"Io Gen. Shafter--I have just seen
