From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 Tampa. Fla, July 10.-E P. Nuttal, war correspondent for the London Telegraph, who accompanied the army from Tampa to Santiago, was passenger on the Maseitte, which arrived here on Friday. MT. Nut tall was at the front, and was in the bat tie of Fl Clancy. He made detailed obser- vations of what he saw while on the island, and goes back to London by the first steam er and will there give expression to im- pressions which, as guest of the United States government he cannot write while here. To the Sun correspondent he said:
 'When I left Baiquir the siege guns which were to have played an important part in the fighting at Santiago were still on the transports, and no one knew where to find any particular part of one. Eight days intervened between the time of our arrival and debarkation and the beginning of the rain. After the eighth day it rained necessarily and great ponds formed in places across the roads, and to cross many low places one was compelled to wade knee deep in mire. Then, of course, the movement of the heavy guns was an impossibility, but during those eight days of splendid weather which succeeded our landing every gun could have been hauled to a position controlling Santiago.
 'I observed very minutely the effect of the Mauser bullet on its victim, and in the majority of cases where the man was not killed outright he will recover. The bullet makes a clean hole through anything it pierces, and goes through the bone without splintering it. During the fight in which the Seventy-first New York and the Second Massa chusetts regiments of volunteers lost so heavily, the vast superiority of the smokeless powder was demonstrated. Wherever a volunteer fired his Springfield rife, the Spaniards knew that there was man, and when the smoke had cleared away they picked him off.

Napoleon knew well the value of a yc- tory. After Austerlitz the world seemed his. Fame invited, fortune favored, every thing stimulated his aspiring ambition.

A notable illustration of this truth is furnished by the great vic tories won at the Worlds fair in 8 and the California Midwinter fair in '9i by Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder.
