iard simply, land my heart bleeds for her now. Our fleet, my country's pride. has been destroyed. I fear there will be an uprising at home when it's de- struction is made known.
 Our plan for escape was we'll ar ranged, but better formulated than ex- ecuted. We had arranged to force our way out on Saturday night, and the Maria Teresa was to have led. But, contrary to our expectations, the searchlights of your ships did not illu- mine the channel that night, as had been usual, and without that light we were unable to discern the wreck of the Merrimac, so we could not go out. You know how we came out next morning Sunday that was.
 Crowds were expected to come down to the wharf to see us off, but the American troops were pushing the city too hard in front, and there were none to see us. Our orders were to steam at full speed to westward after clearing the harbor and concentrate our attack on the Brooklyn, paying no attention to any of the other ships unless they forced us to attack them. So in the morning they signaled to us from the battery that only the Texas and Brook lyn were to the westward. and we got under way, the Maria Teresa, be- ing the flagship, taking the lead. We opened fire on the Brooklyn and the Texas answered it, but her shot fell short; otherwise she would have struck us, for it was a straight-line shot The Brooklyn and Iowa then fired, but nei- ther shot hit. Again the Brooklyn and Texas fired. The Brooklyn's shell went into the admiraTs cabin and, explod- ing, set fire to the after part of the ship. A shell from the Texas pierced our side armor and exploded in the en- zine room, bursting the main steam pipes. We signaled to the engineer to start the pumps. but got no reply. and then found that all below in that part of the ship had been killed
 "At tn,-t time it was like hell on our bridge. Shells were bursting all around us and the ships hull was being riddled below. The captain turned to me and said:

The dynamite gun. which has been in position for several days, is now in better working order than at the- time of the lattle of San Juan, and 1t is pre- dicted that it's charges, consisting of twenty pounds of guncotton and gela- tine. will work havoc in the Spanish trenches when it opens fire.
 Twelve mortars in one battery are mounted and ready to do effective work in shelling the city.
 Three batteries of artillery are now posted on Ell Paso ridge, 2400 yards from the town, and the Capron and Grimes batteries are 1500 yards to the north of the road in the rear of Gen. eral Lawton's division. In firing, the field guns will be compelled to shell the town over the heads of our men, but the artillery officers say it can be done safely and without injury to our soldiers. The dynamite gun has been so placed that it will be able to enfilade the Spanish lines. On the other hand, during the truce, which so far as re- gards the continuing of preparations for defense or attack has been no truce whatever, the Spaniards have not been idle. They have been mounting guns. and some of these are of much heavier caliber than any the American army can bring into play.
 When hostilities reopen by the bom- bardment great things are expected from the navy. Admiral Sampson is quoted throughout the army as saying that he will drop one shell into the city every five minutes, and if that Is not sufficient to do the work he will drop one in the city every two minutes. The fire, in addition to what the land forces will turn in, it is thought, will be suf1- cient to reduce the Spaniards to point where they will surrender
 Sixteen Spanish prisoners. who were wounded. were turned over to the Spaniards yesterday afternoon. Dr. George Goodfellow and Captain Dryer escorted the ambulances and the corre- spondent of the Associated Press ac- companied them. The Spaniards dis played great gratitude for the kind ness, and there was considerable fra ternizing, in which the Spanish officers desire for peace stood out like head light in a fog. There is no dought that the subordinate Spanish officers are anxious to surrender, but they practi- cally said that upon General Toral's decision this would rest. They ad- mitted that they were short of pro- visions, but all appeared to be deter mined and resolute and willing to die, if need be, in the defense of the city.

not beach the ship? Many of our guns are dismounted and our engines are crippled
 "'Sir,' I replied, We are unable to fight longer. Let us beach the ship
 Then, as I said that, shell struck our captain. His last words were to haul down the colors. The American fire was so fierce and their shells were bursting around us so fast and making so much smoke that the Americans could not see that our flag was down and continued firing. I sent below for a blanket, and as soon as that was run up the firing ceased.
 Meanwhile the Vizcaya had run be- tween us and the Texas and was then engaging three ships-the Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas. She made a des perate but hopeless fight. Now that we have learned that we lost between 800 and 1000 men and the Americans lost only one man it amazes us. It is in- credible. We cannot comprehend 1t. It does not seem possible. And yet we must believe it. Have we not seen with our own eyes the utter wreckS of our ships and how yours were not hurt even the smallest injury that we could see?"
 If you had managed to escape where would you have gone? To Cienfuegos?"

WASHINGTON, July 1o.- The bombardment of Santiago has begun.
 That was the verbal informa- ton obtained this evening shortly before 9 o'clock at the War De- partment
 Almost immediately three bull letins were posted, the most i'm portant of which was from Gen eral Shafter. This announced that General Toral, who succeed ed LinareS when the latter was wounded, had declined to sur render and that the lombard ment of the town would be be- gun by the army and navy about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
 The fact that the lombard ment was scheduled by Shafter to begin so late in the day created some comment, but no explana- ton of 1t was offered. In answer to questions bearing upon that movement General Corbin said "I have not the slightest infor- nation as to the reasons General Shafter had for beginning the bombardment at the hour he names, but 1t was probably be- cause he was ready just at that time. You can speculate about that as well as l can"
 Information received by the War Department during the few days of the truce indicates that he has materially strengthened his position. During the past week he has received endorsements of both artillery and infantry. Randolph's battery of twenty four guns which left Key West last Tuesday at midnight is now in operation before Santiago and, as one of the War Department officials expressed it, When these long Toms of Randolph be- gin to talk, something will hap pen in Santiago"
 General Shafter has nearly fifty siege guns and a large number oi

6-inch mortars, besides light ar tillery, at his disposition. These guns, taken in connection with the wreck that can be done by the fleet, will, 1t is believed, carry fer TOT and destruction to Santiago.
 Anxiety has been expressed by the War Department officials as to whether General Shafter had a sufficient force to prevent the evacuation of Santiago by the enemy. This anxiety was allayed about half-past I2 tonight by the receipt of dispatch from Gen eral Shafter, which contained confirmation, too, of the earlier reports of the beginning of the bombardment.
 The belief is held by the best informed officers that General To- ral, the Spanish commander, will surrender when he finds it will be impossible for him to evacuate the city. Upon what grounds this belief is based could not be ascertained, but that information to that effect is in the hands of the war officials there is no doubt. General Shafter's dispatch to- night shows that he is engaged now in strengthening his posi- ton and tomorrow will follow up his operations with a final assault upon the city.

Special dispatch to The Call and the New York

 NEW YORK, July 10.-Admiral Ger vera, with fifty-four of the officers of his destroyed squadron and 63S other prisoners taken from his ships off San tiago, reached Portsmouth, N. H., to- day on the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis. On the voyage north all the captives but one were given parole and were treated more as guests than as prison CTS. When the cruiser dropped anchor in the outer bay of Portsmouth The Call Herald correspondent obtained an interview with Admiral Cervera, who threw a great deal of light on matters that preceded his attempted escape from Santiago harbor. He received three orders from the Minister of Ma rine to leave, he said, and finally a fourth came directing him to go out and fight the American fleet, no matter what the consequences. His plan was to attack the Brooklyn first, break through the American lines. run to Havana and seek refuge in the harbor there. He knew that the order meant suicide, he said. but he obeyed it.
 He said that if the Americans attack Havana they will meet with terrible re- sistance and loss of ships and men. Santiago will fall. he says, unless Li- mares is reinforced. The correspondent also obtained remarkably interesting interviews with other officers of the Spanish feet descriptions of the parts played by every American ship on that day of glorious victory, splendid tale of sea fighting told by the chaplain of the Texas and altogether a most com plete and vivid narrative of the de- cfructinn of Cervara ,s snuadrnn

ditional surrender of the city. General Toral has declined to capitulate on these terms.
 General Shafter this morning re- ceived a letter from General Toral pro- posing to evacuate the city under con- ditions which would insure the free- dom of the Spanish forces. Tn this let ter General Toral attempted to conceal his realization of his hopeless position. With boastful assurance he called Gen. eral Shafter's attention to the fact that he had received large number of re- Inducements, and declared that his en- tire garrison was strongly intrenched in a commanding position. He also as- serted that he had plenty of ammuni- tion and expressed the firm conviction that the Americans could not take the city by assault without sustaining an enormous loss of life.
 General Toral proposed that the Spanish army should evacuate Santi- ago and the province of Santiago de Cuba unmolested, taking all of their cannon, arms, ammunition and standards, together with their sick and wounded. "I shall never surrender the ClIy except on these terms, the Spdn- ish general declared.
 General Shafter, after receiving this letter, was helped into a carriage and was driven to the front After con- sulting with General Wheeler the American commander sent a reply to General Toral, in which he refused to entertain the Spaniard's proposition.
 The bombardment, as planned, was to begin from the fleet off Aguadores covering the advance of the infantry upon that fortification, the infantry to be further under the cover of sixteen 3.2-inch guns toward the left of the line on the ridge of Ell Pogo. The Rough Riders are in the center of the line with their dynamite gun, the infantry taking little part in the general attack except on the left. Eight mortars also are advantageously placed in the cen ter. The siege guns are on the heights of San Juan. On the extreme left is General Rents brigade, with batteries in the center General Wheeler's S cavalry division, including Youngs brigade, now under command of Colonel Wood of the Rough Riders, on tn. right, with Lawtons division, com posed of Ludlow's, Chaffees and My CTS brigades. Woods brigade includes the First and Tenth Infantry and Roosevelts Rough Riders,
