First Fight on Cuban Soil.

HuntingtOn's marines were engaged
for thirteen hours, from O'Clock Sat-
urday afternoon, fighting Spanish
gurrillas and regulars at entrance OF
Guantanamo Harbor. The Americans
finally landed achievements. The
Spanish losses are believed to be heavy.
The Americans lost four killed and
one wounded. Our advance pickets
are unaccounted for. Among our dead
is Associate Surgeon John Blair Gibbs,
whose home is in Richmond, lately
practicing in New York City.
The engagement began with desult-
DRY firing at the pickets 100 yards in
land from the camp. Captain Spicer's
company was doing guard duty and
was driven in, finally rallying on the
camp and repulsing the enemy by 5
o'clock. The bodies of Privates Nc
Colgan and Dunphy were found, both
shot in the head. The large cavities

ton, indicating that the victims we're
killed at close range The bodies we're
stripped of shoes, hats and cartridge,
belts and horribly mutilated with ma
chetes.
When they we're brought in the
whole battalion formed three sides of

Shortly before midnight came the
main attack. The Spanish made a
gallant charge up the southwest slope
but we're met by repeated volleys from
the main body and broke before they
were one-third of the way up the hill
side but they came so close that at
points there was almost a hand-tO

revolvers. The Spaniards got through
the open formation to the edge OF the
camp. Colonel Jose Campina, the
Cuban guide, discharged his revolver
and they, turning and finding tnem-
selves without support, ran heller

hill. Thus ended the first melee.

of full acceptance of our conditions,
and the Spanish cabinet has doubtless

Spain when the war shall cease.
Madrid Is Inclined to Look Upon
Them as Harsh.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Madrid cCr-
respondent of the Times says: The
conflicting accounts of the American
peace terms and a suspicion that the
Washington government was tempo
rizing, in order to confront Spain with
the occupation of Porto Rico and the
capitulation of Manila, originally
caused irritation and provoked strong
language, but it is now seen that the
suspicion was unfounded. The terms,
however, are regarded as very hard,
and the annexation of Porto Rico and
the Reputation of the colonial debt are
characterized as flagrantly unjust.
Happily the question of the Philip
pines is reserved, and I am confident
that the more 1t is considered the less
will America be inclined to annexation.
Spain has only maintained sovereignty
there by the aid of the religious orders,
who supplement administration au-
thority by immense religious influence
Even the least clerical of the captains
general have admitted in their
official reports that without the friars,
who are mostly able men and ardent
Spanish patriots, an army corps of
peninsular troops would be permanent
ly required to maintain order. Any
other powers Selling the Philippines
would be required to abolish this me-
dieval administration and introduce
much costlier system"

PONCE, July 29.-No forward move

Brooke's army corps and the remain
der Of the First corps are arriving
slowly. The troops will probably re-

day. They have just appeared in the

Gen. Miles will retain his headquar-

DR.. Schweningers and the familys
statements regarding the princes con-

news of his death. A majority Of the

ESCANABA, Mich, July 31.-Next to
the greatest fire Escanaba has ever
had Is raging now and is beyond the
control of the fire department.
About 7:30 this evening fire was dis
covered in the hay in the rear part Of
Patrick Fogarty's flour and feed store,
and in a few seconds it spread to the
front part of the building, used as res
idence and store. A strong northeast
wind was blowing, and the flames rap
idly ran from this building into Ellis
worth's drug store.
Inside of twenty minutes quarter
of a block was a mass of flames. The
fire spread until it reached Patrick
Finnigan's double brick building on
the west end of the block, destroying
the stores of Patrick Fogarty, feed; E.
B. Worth, dry goods; the 500 Line
ticket office and the Western Express;
E. Oliver, A Krautz's double clothing
store, Paul Oehlefeldt's jewelry store,
Long & Co.'S tea store and John Omar's
bakery.
On the northern half Of the block
Kaufman's sale stable is burning, and
nearly all the other buildings are on
fire. So intense Is the heat that the
frame and solid brick stores across the
streets are burning, and nothing can
save them. The firemen and citizens
are doing heroic work, but are not
checking the fire. The Escanaba bank,
a solid brick block, is on fire. Losses,
not half covered by insurance, will
reach the 100000 mark. Electric light
wires are all burned, and the city is
in darkness.
The Catholic church, school and sew
eral buildings south of the fire were
on fire and only saved by the most
strenuous efforts

the city, desire for revenge, and they
began to ferret out all the Spaniards
IN the city who had ever been in the
volunteer service, and dragged them to
the plaza. Bloodhounds could have
not been more savage. Most of the
Spaniards in hiding, upon being dis
covered, were hauled in triumph by
hooting, jeerlng mobs to Gen. Wilson
or the provost marshaPs Office In the
municipal building. Some of the ma
t1ves even began looting the residences
of the Spanish.
They mfstook liberty for license. and
were crazed with a thirst for VEN
geance. Gen. Wilson, however. soon
taught them that revenge could not be
wreaked under the protection of the
American flag, and peremptorily or
dered that the arrest Of Spanish sus
poets should cease. Such volunteers
as presented themselves were, how
| ever, received and released after their
names had been taken. They will
all report tomorrow and be formally
paroled. Many Of them had been fore
ed into the service Of Spain to escape
persecution.
BUSINESS BOOM
Business In the city has enjoyed a

American troops. Many merchants

eagerly competing for the American

of 100 per cent. Yesterday the price

thing else is in proportion. The news

smoking several pipes, which he had
not done lately.
His condition was so satisfactory
that DIR. Schweninger, after the prince
had gone to bed, left with the intention
OF returning on Saturday. His cond1-
ton was comparatively satisfactory
throughout Friday and Saturday morn
ing. He read the Nachrichten and con-
versed on politics, particularly refer
ring to Russian affairs. In the forenoon
he took luncheon, grumbling jocularly
at the small proportion Of spirits in his
drinking water.
CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
"Then a sudden change for the worse
occurred, In consequence OF an acute
attack Of pulmonary oedema, and, in
the course Of the afternoon, he fire.
quently became unconscious.
Recently, besides periods Of unusual
mental clearness, the prince had had
intervals of drowslness, falling into
long, sound and beneficial sleep, on
awakening from which he would be
completely refreshed.
ION Saturday evening grave symp-
toms appeared. Death came easily
and painIessly. The last words Prince
Bismarck uttered were addressed to his
daughter Countess Won Rantzau, who
wiped the perspiration from his fore
head. They We're, Thanks, my child
1.-THE whole family assembled at the
bedside at the time Of death, and DR..
Schweninger, DR.. Crysanther and Bar
on and Countess Merck were also pres
ent. AS no breathing movement or
pulse was perceptible for three min
utes, Dr. Schweninger declared quietly
and simply that the prince was dead.
Or. Schweninger telegraphed the
news to Emperor William, in Norway.
1.-THE prince lies as he used to sleep,
In an easy position, with his head
slightly inclined to the left. The ex-
preston on his face is mild and peace
full. It is remarked that his head re-
NAMED warm for an unusually long
time. In accordance with Prince Bis
marcl1's wish, he will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle in the vi
entity of Hirschgruppe."
SEVERE SUFFERING.
When Dr. Schweninger arrived at
Friedrichsruhe railway station shortly
| after 10 o'clock Saturday evening, the
| two Counts Won RantZau were waiting
with carriage, and the physician was
| driven rapidly to the capitol, where
| he found the prince already uncon-
| scious The prince died without taking
| leave Of the family. For fully an hour
| he suffered terrible difficulty in breath
| ing, and his groans were fearful to
| hear during the death struggle. He
! had been placed in sitting position
| and propped up with cushions In order
to relieve the frightful spasms in
| breathing. His powerful constitution
| fought to the last.
The family, gathered in an adjoining
room, were plunged into an anguish of
grief by the means from the death
chamber. The despair was intensified
| by DR.. Schweninger's absence, al
! though medical art was unavailing The
only consolation was that the prince
was unconscious during the last two

MESSAGE FROM WHITE.
United States Ambassador White at
noon today sent the following dispatch
to Count Herbert Won Bismarck at
Friedrichsruhe:
ON behalf OF the whole American people,
whether official or unofficial, and of whatever
birth or descent, ! tender CONGRATULATIONS
upon the mighty career now ended, and as
surances OF the most sincere sympathy for
yourself and your mourning family.
Pastor Dyke, in the course of his
sermon today at the American church.
referred feelingly to the death Of Bis
marck, and emphasized the coincidence
Of the demise almost simultaneously
of two such men as Bismarck and
Gladstone.
At the office Of the mareschal of the
court 1t was said this evening that DR..
Won Lucanus, chief of Emperor Will
liam's civil cabinet, Is hurrying home
from Hortse, where he has been spend
Ing the summer, with a view Of put
ting himself in communication with
the Bismarck family and DIR. Schwen-
niger, in arranging the funeral, which
will probably be delayed until the en-
peror's return. It Is significant that
Prince Bismarck directed an inter-
ment near the colossal bronze monu-
ment presented by the loyal Anhalt
representatives-a noble stag triurn-
plant over pack of yelping dogs The
remains of the countess will be trans
ferred thither also.
His last will and testament was de-
posted early this morning at the
Schwarzenbach court house near Fried
richsruhe.
