THE OREGON GETS IN ITS WORK
Sends a Spanish Torpedo Boat to the Bottom--Thought to be the

Especial to the Argus.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 6-News
has been received here confirming a
report got by a vessel from Santiago
saying a Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyer has been sunk by the Ameri-
can warship Oregon. 1t appears
that the battleship Oregon saw a
long craft sneaking close to the shore
and proceeding toward the harbor.
She signaled the craft to turn: her
signals were improperly answered.
Thereupon the Oregon opened fire. A
~thirteen-inch shell struck the torpedo
boat destroyer %amidships and she
sank with all on board. The vessel
IL supposed to be the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror trying to enter
n harbor OF Santiago and Join the
heet OF Cervera, with which she ar
rived at Martinique, where the Ter
o was compelled to remain, az her
boilers were out of order. On the
other hand, it is believed the torpedo
boat destrOyersunk might have been
the FurOr of Cervera's fleet, as the
latest reports concerning the Terror
seem to show that her boilers were
still out of order.

Cape Haytien, 1855 a. m. June =
The fighting before and in the
vicinity of Santiago, continued dur
ing the greater part of yesterday
from 7:45 a. m. until nearly IL. Ten
warships maintaining u steady and
effective fire against Moro Castle
and the batteries, Punta Gorda and
Sepapa. in addition to bOmbarding
the Spanish fleet in the harbOr. The
percentage of effective projectiles was
very large.
1t appears from the very best
information obtainable from this
place that immense damage was
inflicted !. upon the enemy. The
Spanish admit that the lombard
ment from the American fleets was
most obstructive. About sixteen
hundred projectiles are said to have
been fired by the Americans, and 1t
seems that the responsive fire from
the Spanish forts and Spanish war
ships, was scarcely felt at all. The
Notifications near the entrance to
the harbor are described as being
riddled with solid shot, scattered by
the immense explosion of shells from
the American battleships. 1t is
understood here that the Cuban
troops maintained throughout a
greater part of yesterday an attack
by land upon Santiago and Spanish
reports say the garrison lost heavily
in killed and wounded. The mil
litary commander at Santiago
acknowledges the LOST of six officers
and many soldiers. He also admits
severe loss of naval forces. The loss
to the American side, the Santiago
reports say, is not known. The
Spanish acknowledge a great deal of
damage inflicted upon the cruiser
Mercedes and say that MORO Castle
shows great breaches in it's walls.
Later in the day, it appears that the
landing of American troops was
effected at Daiquiri, some distance
east of Aquaguiores and near the
railroad station connecting with
Santiago. Later an engagement
took place between American troops
and a column of Spanish troops
sent against the landing party.
