Thrown Into the Qualifications at Santl-
ago de Cuba.
or Santiago de Cuba, June l7.-At
daylight Thursday morning Rear Ad-
miral SIMPSONS feet bombarded the
batteries at Santiago de Cuba for the
third time.
For hours the ships pounded the bat
teries at the right and left Of the
entrance, only sparing Ell MORO, where
Lieutenant Hobson and his companions
Of the Merrimac are in prison.
The western batteries, against which
the main assault was directed, were
badly wrecked. One was utterly de-
stroyed. In others many guns were
dismounted.
At first the Spaniards replied pas
sionately and wildly, but impotently.
Then most of the guns were deserted.
Not a ship was struck nor a man in
jured on the American side. 1t is be-
lieved that the enemy's loss of life was
heavy.
AS a preliminary to the hammering
given the batteries the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius was given another
chance. Three ESQ pound charges of
gun cotton we're sent over the fortifica-
tions at the entrance.
The design was to drop them in the
bay, around the angle, back of the
eminence on which FL Moro is sit
uated, where 1t was known that the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers were
lying.
Two charges went through as no re-
ports were heard-a popularity of the
explosion of gun cotton in water.
Whether the destroyers were demol-
ished is not known, but the destructive
area of gun cotton is large and It
would not be surprising II 1t is subse-
quently ascertained that one or both
were destroyed. The third charge ex-
ploded with terrific violence on Cayo
Smith.

to the harbor looked In the black

OF Guantanamo, June 20.-Accord-
ing to reports made by Cuban scouts,

strewn the streets with straw and oil
with the intention of destroying the
city and fleeing to the hills.

Al can arms and without faith in
the protection of the Spanish soldiery,
the people have determined to leave
their houses in ashes.
The people are eating horses and
mules and are securing the hills for
fruits and herbs. Occasional brief
bombardments by the American fleet
leave the helpless citizens terror
stricken, no preparations for defense
being made.
The Spanish gunboat at Caimanera
has been loaded with infiammables and
will be burned with the city, her COM
mander declaring that she will never
become an American prize.
The Spanish soldiers are IN almost as
complete a state of panic as are the
civilians and they could easily be in
duced to surrender.
Some of the prisoners taken by the
marines say they believe the Spanish
troops are on the verge of surrender
owing to the lack of food.

Spanish leader was killed by the heavy

the Americans that Lieutenant Hobson

fore discussed, with Porto Rico as
the objective point.
A month ago the military authorities
were satisfied that small force would
be sufficient 20 occupy Porto Rico, as
the Spanish force there did not exceed
5000 or 5000 men.
Now, however. the Spanish garrisons
have been so reinforced and the de-
fences strengthened that it is believed
a much larger invading army will be
required.
Moreover, the officials were satisfied
on learning that the Cadiz feet had
sailed, that the ships would go to Porto
Rico, rather than to Cuba, If they
crossed to this side.

MAI. WILLY GOES WITH COL. RAY.
The Guards to lie Left Again With
out a Commanding Omcer.

out Commanding Officer.
Mai. T. s. Wylly of the Guards Battal-
ion has been appointed a major in Col
Rays regiment and will receive his com
mission from the President in a few days
The appointment was made several days
ago, but Col Ray desired that it be kept
quiet until the other major had been nam
ed, as he feared that he would be over
whelmed with applications for the posi-
ton, if the public should find out that it
was vacated.
Mai. WylIv's military experience fits
him for such a position, and Col Ray Is
to be congratulated upon his selection.
Maj. WHY'S military instruction was
received at the Bingham Military School
in North Carolina. In 1880 he Joined the
Mcintosh Light Dragons and was elected
captain of the troop in 1889. A year later
he was elected a major in the First Regi-
ment Cavalry, Georgia volunteers resign
ing i'm 1894 to accept the captaincy of Com
pany d, Savannah Volunteer Guards,
which position he held for about six
months, when he was put on the roll of
retired officers with the rank of major.
About q month ago Mai. Wyly was APP
pointed by Gov. Atkinson to command the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion
during the absence Of Lieut. Col Garrard
sure of a commission as captain in the
same regiment, is Capt George NJ. Gads-
den of the Guards. One more company
must be organized In order to complete the
regiment and 1t is understood that Capt.
Gadsden has been named as the command
ing officer. G. rlotc
Maj. Wylly says that the Presidents idea
in organizing ten regiments of infantry in
the Southern states was simply with the
desire of obtaining men who are used to
tropical climate and whom he can send to
Cuba or anywhere else that it may be nee
essary to order them, without fear of their
suffering from the heat.
The discipline an these ten regiments will
approach nearer to that of the regular
army than any of the volunteer forces yet
raised The fact that these troops will
stand good chance of being sent to the
actual seat of the war is most encourag ing
to the officers.
The appointment OF Mai. Wylly to
place i'm the volunteer army leaves the
Guards Battalion without commander.
The three ranking officers who will remain
here are: Capt w. w. williamson Capt.
Wright Hunter and Capt. c. S. Richmond.

that 40 per cent. of the money received
was to go to Maj. Stahlman. They replied
that 1t was untrue that 40 per cent. was to
be paid Stahlman. If they had added that
IS per cent. was to be paid him all this
trouble would have been prevented. They
seem to have answered the question as 1t
was put, giving no further information.
Another senator wired for information
whether any contract to pay any one 20
per cent had been made, and received the
same reply as Pasco. Senators Pasco,
Bates and others from the South, on the
strength of this, personally assured the
Senate that the rumors were false, and
the claim was passed without Senator
Lodges amendment.
