been no effort to save the women.
There was fully 10 minutes before the

small majority the move was agreed
upon. The minority said thar destruc-
had mutinied and the best men in the
fleet were worn out by serving the guns
in the shore batteries. Early on the
morning of the sortie careful observa-
tons were taken Of the sea, east and
west. Admiral Cervera decided upon
taking the westward course, with Man.
zanillo, Cienfuegos, or if possible Ha-
vana, the port to be reached.
He would have gone east but for the
sighting of large transport fleet off
Siboney, and the assurance that a con-
voy OF war vessels was still with the
transports. AS a matter of fact there
was no war vessel larger than a con-
verted yacht, except the New York,
that could have obstructed Admiral
Cervera's escape eastward. Naval men
here are sure that the Spanish vessels
could have disabled or sunk the New
York and escaped had the eastward
course been chosen. It is claimed that
one shell killed 100 men on the Vizcaya,

Vancouver of Commodore Schley in
heading due west to Cape Caney, while
the Cristobal Colon had taken a more
southerly direction with a much
greater distance to cover, rendered the

There seems to be no doubt that the

Three Spanish armored cruisres would
have escaped had it not been for the
prompt action of Commodore Schley.
The Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was
in position to attack the Spanish ves-

commodore steamed directly toward
them and engaged all four cruisers, in

ABOgT OUR DEAD AND WOUNDED.
Two Days Fighting at Santiago Have Cos,
Our Army LOO Men.

Our Army !, 200 Men.
Before Santiago, Sunday, July 3, via
Kingston, July 6.-[Copyrishted, 1898
by Associated Press.]-The fighting
during the last two days has cost the
American army LOO men. This esti-
mate is made by the surgeons at divis-
ion headquarters after careful figuring
by the surgeons at the hospitals. The
list of wounded, as made up at the di-
vision headquarters, is very large in
proportion to the list of those killed out
right. Probably less than 100. all told,
of the number wounded have died. MAX
ing the total number of deaths in the
neighborhood OF $50. The remainder of
the wounded will probably recover.
Our men generally had an opinion that
the Spaniards could not shoot and
many, it must be confessed. thought
they would not fight. Both impressions
were erroneous-particular the latter.
The Spanish have fought with great de-
termination and bravery. The returns
show that number of regiments suf-
fered very heavily, the Seventy-frst
New York being the worst cut up of the
and Sixth regular infantry suffering
most among the regulars, with the Sew
enth and Sixteenth infantry close in the
race for glory. In some companies of
the Thirteenth regiment one-third of
the men are gone, and there are COM
panies in that regiment now entirely
without officers.

stoned officers and privatcs killed in the

The death Of Captain Capron in the
first fight before Santiago, in which
the Rough Riders took part. is thus

moment when Captain Capron sank to
the ground mCrtally wounded With Il
revolver in his right hand. firing and
loading, he had been pressing in ad-
vance Of his men. talking to them con-
stantly and urging them to move rapid
ly. There had been a brief lull in the
firing from the thicket. and Captain
Capron was calling to his men to push
forward. He was standing erect, and
was in the act of levelling his revolver
TO fire when a fierce volley crashed
from the th!cket and the pistol dropped
from his hand. He sank upon the
ground with his left hand pressed to
his side, but with his right hand still
pointing to the spatErhere the Spanish
rifles We're flashing. Several comrades
knelt over him. but he motioned them
away.
Don't mind me. boys" he said; go
on into the thicket"
Stricken with death the brave man
heard his little band rushing on to the
fight, and with eyes from which life
was fast fading he saw the enemy re-
treating down the hillside to Santiago.
When the fight was over Captain Cap
ron was carried tenderly by his com
rades to the little hospital by the sea-
shore, but before the Sun went dawn
the calm of soldiers death was upon
his features. With his dead comrades
he is buried on the battlefield,
