is no change yet. The ST. Louis just
came in with prize, an English coal
steamer that was following up the
Spanish fleet. She carries 5000 tons of
coal. 1t will come in good as coal
mines are scarce here. The troops are
about 20 miles to the eastward Of the
harbor. AS soon as they come up the
fun will begin in earnest. Sampson
challenged the enemy to come out and

ON LAND AND SEA.

selves gave up, and ordered that the
sea valves of their ships be opened.
Then the ships were driven on the
beach.
Sixteen of the prisoners were from
the Vizcaya, six from the Almirante
Oquendo, and seven from the Infanta
Maria Teresa, making total of 29.
They were taken on board the The
SUMS dispatch boat, which headed
for the fleet. AS the boat passed the
Texas she signalled her capture and
received a hearty cheer from the sail
ors aboard of her.
When the flagship was reached Ad-
miral Sampson thanked the newspaper
men and asked them to deliver their
prisoners on board the st. Louis. This
was done and receipt was given for
the Spaniards in due form by the off,
Ger of marines who was in charge. .
Aboard the st. Louis was Captain
Eulate, the commander of the Vizcaya.
He expressed his grief at the sad turn
affairs had taken, but said he had done
his best and could do no more.
Admiral Cervera was also on board
the St. Louis, having been transferred
from the Gloucester. He is a fine old
gentleman, and presented an imposing
figure as he stood still proudly in his
full uniform, with all the gold braid of
ais rank and several decorations.
Afterward the dispatch boat went to
the wreck of the Vizcaya, which was
found to have great hole in her bow
and tangle of ironwork on her deck.

on the ground that he has seen the
Spaniards treat hundreds of his own
men in the same manner.
REASON OF The DELAY.
Washington Thought That Shafter Should
Walt For Re-Enforcements.

Washington Thought That Shafter Should
Wait For Re-Enforcements.
The reasons why General Shafter
failed to commence the bombardment
of Santiago on Tuesday, in accord
ance with the terms of his ultimatum,
have developed. 1t was not because
of General Shafter but of the pres
,ident.
During Tuesday the war department
got information of the arrival of Pan
dos forces in Santiago, and had reason
to believe that the total Spanish forces
numbered something like $4,000 men.
Including re-enforcements previously
received, and taking into account the
sick and wounded, Shafter has not
more than $1,000 or $4,000 effective
men.
1t is generally calculated that in
attacking an entrenched enemy, the
attacking force ought not to have less
than two to the enemy's one. All the
while the Americans have been fight
ing overwhelming odds; but the pres
ident is inclined to put stop to this,
and desires that there shall be no more
of it.
General Shafter and Admiral Samp-
son held conferences on Monday and
Tuesday under instructions from the
president but there developed sharp
difference of opinion as to the best
course to be pursued. General Shaf-
ter desired Admiral Sampson to enter
Santiago harbor but in the opinion of
the admiral this was not practicable.
The war department backed Shafter,
and the navy department Sampson, and
hence the hitch. Shafter was disposed
to begin operations on his own respon-
sibility; but upon this the president
put his veto.
The understanding on Tuesday af-
ternoon was that the proposed bonn
bardment would not be commenced
until after the arrival of some 10000
re.enforcements, which were expected
as soon as possible-probably within
a week from Sunday.
The navy department thinks that
an attempt to enter the harbor before
Moro castle is captured, would be
foolhardy.

From the New York Sun.
PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica, July g.
This dispatch, filed here by a Sun
correspondent, was written yesterday
on the quarterback of the Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya, which now lies on
the southern coast of Cuba, with gap
ing shot wounds in her port side, her
bows blown out by the explosion OF
some of her forward magazines or a
torpedo, blackened by fire, beaten by
the waves, and as nearly collection
of scrap iron as once splendid war
ship could get to be. The readers OF
The Sun who saw the Vizcaya a few
months ago when she was lying in
New York harbor would never recog-
nize this battered wreck as the same
vessel which then so proudly carried
the colors of Spain.
Last nights dispatches to The Sun
told of the attempt of Admiral Cerve-
ra's squadron to escape from the har-
Dor of Santiago, of the mighty sea
fight which followed, and the COM
plete destruction of the Spanish ves-
sells. At an early hour yesterday
morning The Suns dispatch boat star

twisted, was recognizable as a bridge.
Nevertheless, she was the first of the
Spanish ships yesterday to give up the
fight and head for the shore. She was
still smouldering with the fire of yes
terday, and occasionally cartridges
would pop as though feebly endeavor'
ing to continue the fight.
The shore was closely scanned for
Spaniards, and finally some 20 men
were seen huddled together in cor
ner of the beach. The newspaper
men shouted at them and made a
demonstration with their firearms.
The men, who proved to be Spaniards,
were thoroughly cowed, and with
great alacrity they waved a white
handkerchief. A landing was made
and the Spaniards were told that they
were prisoners and that they would be
taken aboard boat and turned over
to the American admiral. They ap-
peared rather gratified than otherwise
when they were told this, for they
seemed to dread the Cubans more than
they did the Americans. A launch
was sent for, and the correspondents
stood guard over the prisoners until it
arrived. Several Spanish bodies on
which the vultures had fed were lying
on the beach, and the prisoners were
made to bury them.
Most of the prisoners were wounded,
they having been in the hottest part of
the fight. 1t was learned from them
how the gunnery of the Americans
had become more and more fierce and
deadly until the Spanish crews de-
serted their guns, when they were shot
down by their own officers. They
said that as the battle grew more and
more desperate the wines and liquors
belonging to the officers were handed
out to the crews, so that with drunken
courage they would keep up the hope
less fight. At last the officers them

inspection of the wrecked warships
than was possible on Sunday, when
fire was sweeping over them. The
first inspected was the Almirante
Ouuendo. She was run ashore in a
small bay, and now lies we'll up on the
beach, where she is likely to stay until
time and the action of the elements
complete the destruction begun by the
American guns. Her sides are SCARED
by many shots, and in her port bow
there is a tremendous hole made by a
13-inch she'll. On her port quarter,

to the shore. The American vessels
were soon formed in parallel line,
and the fight was a running one. The
firing was terri6c-that of the Span
iards wild but that of the Americans
we'll directed from first to last. The
big guns on the American fleet roared
continuously and the rapid fire guns
poured perfect hail of steel into the
Spaniards.
Tie Almirante Oquendo was the
first vessel to get enough of it. Shot
almost to pieces and in a sinking con-
dition, she made for the shore and ran
on the beach. The men poured over
her sides, and many of them were
drowned as they tried to escape to
land. The Maria Teresa, on which
was Admiral Cervera, shortly after
ward met the same fate and next the
Vizcaya went to the shore with nearly
all of the ships battering her to pieces.
All three were wrecked within 20 miles
of the mouth of the harbor.
Now only the Cristobal Colon was
left. The swiftest ship of the squad
ron, she kept in the lead from the
start. She is said to have been the
finest armored cruiser in the world,
and at no time since the war com.
menced, has an ybody considered the
Brooklyn match for her. But Schley
stuck right along with her, hammer
ing her with all the fury of his guns.
For awhile the fight was between the
two vessels. Presently Schley saw
where, by heading due west to Cape
Caney, he could gain several miles and
cut the Cristobal Colon of. He did
this, making escape impossible. Then
the Oregon came up, and the two ves-
sells finished the job so pluckily COM
menced by the Brooklyn. The Cristo-
bal Colon ran on the beach and struck
her colors. As to how badly damaged
she is, accounts differ. The first story
was that she was wreck, and subse-
quent stories are that she may yet be-
come valuable addition to the Amer
can navy.
After disposing of the torpedo boats
Commander Wainwright participated
in the sinking of the other ships, and
then began picking up the enemy.
He picked up 800 Spaniards on the
beach, including Admiral Cervera and
a number of his captains.
The Spanish admiral was in a pitia-
BILE condition physically and mentally.
Wainwright extended his hand and
complimented Cervera on his cour-
ageous fight. The admiral acknowl-
edged the compliment as best he could,
begged Commander Wainwright to
prevent the massacre of his unarmed
men by the Cubans on shore, and then
broke into tears. He and his officers
were at once conducted to the best
quarters on the Gloucester and treated
with all the courtesy to which their
rank is supposed to entitle them.
Afterward Cervera and his officers
were allowed to send cablegrams to
their families in Spain, telling them OF
their condition, etc. but these cable
grams, of course, were carefully cen-
sored to see that no information was
given that could be of use to the
enemy.

near the water line, there is large
rent. Her military masts are gone
and her decks present a scene of wreck
and confusion.
A small boat was lowered from the
dispatch boat and The Sun CORES
pondent was pulled alongside the
Oquendo. AS the vessel was approach
ed a CHASTITY sight was presented.
Dead Spaniards were seen floating all
about in the water. They were srtip-
ped to the waist, as they had stood to
man their guns. The boat was steered
nervously among the awful things, the
sight exciting feelings of pity, but
some satisfaction, as we'll, that the
Maine had again been so we'll remem-
bered.
About this time the gunboat Suwa-
nee came up, and Lieutenant Blue
started ashore in her whaleboat to
look for survivors of the crews of the
Spanish vessels and to take them pris-
oners. The men in The Suns boat
determined to follow him, notwith-
standing the fact that they had neither
lifeboat nor life preservers, as had
the men from the Suwanee. The surf
was running high on the rocky beach,
but the little boat reached the shore
without difficulty. Lieutenant Blue,
however, was not SO lucky. When
his boat was about 20 yards from the
shore a huge breaker lifted it, threw
it forward, and Lieutenant Blue was
dumped into in the sea. His boat
reached the shore all right, and his
men dragged him out of the water.
A band of Cubans were found on
the beach. They, too, were looking
for spaniards, but it is to be feared
that their intentions were not as hu-
name as those of other seekers after
the enemy. No Spaniards were found,
however, and Lieutenant Blue return
ed to the Suwanee, which put to sea.

SOME OF WARS HORRORS.
There Was Gallantry and Courage But AL
SO Much Savagery.

There Was Gallantry and Courage But Al
so Much Savagery.
All the reports from Santiago, up to
and including those of Tuesday
morning, indicated certain victory
for the American attacking columns.
There was no exception even in the
case of the official advices of General
Shafter but since then the newspaper
correspondents have been sending
stories that have thrown different
light on the situation.
The fighting has been desperate on
both sides, and it seems that the Amer
leans have not had walk over. The
stubbornness of the Spaniards has been
simply remarkable, and during last
Saturday they held certain advantages
of position that had not been previ-
ously reported, and these advantages
they used to the terrible distress OF
the Americans, especially of the hos
pital corps.
1t seems that during Friday night,
quite large force of Spanish sharp
shooters managed to post themselves
in such position as to be within range
of General Shafter's headquarters,
three miles behind the American firing
line back to the field hospital. Cen
eral Shafter laid sick in his tent on
Friday, and several bullets passed
within a feet of him. The sharpshoot.
ers in range of the road made it their
business, all day, to pick off men re-
turning to the rear. These included
men who were able to walk, those
who were being borne in litters, to-
gether with their bearers, newspaper
Correspondents, and Red Cross nurses
and surgeons. Many of these were
killed along the road by the vigilant
sharpshooters. The Americans made
several attempts to dislodge the sharp
shooters and succeeded partially but
not effectually.
However, for all the horrible feat
ures of the situation the Spaniards
were not responsible. 1t is related, as
a positive fact, that during the fight
ing around FL Caney, some 40 Span
iards were making last desperate
stand in a little stone fort. The dead
and wounded were lying all around
them, and they seemed determined to
fight as long as there was breath.
The Americans sent Spanish prisoner
to inform them that within few mo-
ments dynamite shell would be fired
at the house and they had better sur
render. They gave up their arms and
were soon afterward turned over to
the Cubans under Honore Laine, the
famous Cuban correspondent of the
New York Journal. Laine sent the
Spaniards to the rear with instructions
to his men to cut the heads off all of
them. This was done.
The story of this horrible affair is
told by Editor Hearst himself. He was
on the ground, and learned of it short.
ly after it occurred. He admits the
savagery of the act; but excuses Laine

The newspaper men then concluded
that it would be an excellent idea to
capture some prisoners on their own
account, 80 they joined some of the
other dispatch boats and headed for
the Infanta Maria Teresa, which was
lying further along the coast to the
westward. This vessel was not in
quite so bad condition as the Almi-
rante Oquendo. She was battered by
shells and blackened by fire, but her
after military staff was still standing.
