HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Tale or the Destruction of the
 Spanish Fleet.

NEW YORK, July 5.-The New York Herald has received from it's correspondent the following details Of the destruction of Admiral Ger vera's fleet:
 Three Spanish cruisers that were bottled up in Santiago harbor and two torpedo boat destroyers were pounded into helpless hulks by the guns of Admiral Sampson fleet on Sunday in an attemp to escape from the harbor. The vessels were beached in a last effort to save as many lives of the crew as possible.
 Admiral Ceryera, on board the Cristobal Colon, headed his fleet in
 attempt to get away. at about half past 9 o'clock. So little were the Americans expecting the dash that the flagship was cruising up the coast to the east and returned only Tn time to see the finish of the fight and fire shot or two at the torpedo boats. The Iowa and Indiana, Ore gon, Massachusetts, Texas, Brook lyn and converted yacht Gloucester. formerly the Corsair, formed in position to liye battle as soon as the Colon was sighted rounding the wreck of the Merrimac
 The American vessels did not open fire 1t once. They waited until Ger vera 8 ships were out of the range of Morro's guns before giving battle. Ceyera headed to the west, the Colon in the lead, followed by the Vizcaya and Oquendo and the de stroyers. all firing rapidly.
 All of the American battleships opened fire at once and the Spanish were soon in hurricane Of shot and shell, but the Colon kept on bravely until within about ten miles from the westward of Morro Castle Ad- miral Cervera turned his vessel to the shore and beached her. She was blnziDg in a score of places, but her guns kept at work and the white flag never showed until she was completely disabled
 The Oquendo and Vizcaya were opposed by the Iowa, Texas and Indiana and went down to defeat with fearful swiftnfss, covering bnf about half the distance made by the Colon before their captains ran them ashore. Their crews fought with desperate bravery, but their courage 1 was no match for the courage of our men, added to their superb gunnery. | The spanish shells went wild fur fhe | most part, but the American gun | fire was marked by merciless preci- | siou. The two cruisers, both on fire, | were beached not more than one | quarter of a mile apart. The most | dramatic feature of the battle was the contest between the torpedo boat destroyers and the Gloucester. The latter was struck several times and is the only American reported damaged. At fret the Glouee ter fired upon them with her six poundeTs, but they ran past her and engaged tLe battleships. Finding the fire too hot, they turned and at tackled the Gloucester again until both destroyers were afire and had to be beached. Their crews threw themselves into the surf to sa1e their

1mpressment Will Be the Rnle for the
Philippine Expedition.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2l.-The gov
eminent has taken firm stand toward
securing transports for the Philippine
expedition. and from this time forth
impressment will be the rule until
enough vessels have been secured to
carry the army to Manila.
The Pacific Mail company's steamer
Newport has been pressed. This makes
the sixth vessel owned by the Pacific
Mail company which is in the service
of the government t. The steamer was
thoroughly tumigated and has gone to
the mail dock. Her cargo will be dis.
charged as rapidly as possible and then
the work of fitting her out will begin.
The Peru is due from the Orient on
June "a, and the City of Rio de janet.
70 follows her on July 5. Both steam.
srs will probably be taken by the gov.
eminent, although their impressment
will leave the Pacific Mail company
without a steamer on the route between
here and the Orient.

moralized beyond repair. The vul.

feature was Moro castle. The saffron
colored flag of Spain was haltmasted
for hours. The significance of this is
not known. It is not customary to
halfmast flags, but possibly some Span
lsh leader was killed by the heavy fire
of our guns, though some officers of
the squadron believe the flag was half
masted as notification to the Am
orleans that Lieutenant Hobson and
his brave men were dead. It such
is the case they must have been wan.
tonly murdered. The Spaniards may
ascribe their death to the bombardment,
but not shot struck Moro castle.

scouts report that the inha bitants of
Caimanera have strewn the streets
with straw and oil with the inten ton
Of destroying the city and fleeing to
the hills.
Caimanera lies four miles up the
bay from Camp McCalla, under the
guns of the American ships, and the
situation is desperate. Starving and
famine stricken, convinced of the ulti-
mate triumph of the American arms
and without faith. in the protection Of
the Spanish soldiery the people are be.
ieved to have determined to leave
their houses in ashes behind them and
Seek Safety in the Mountains
of the north. It is also stated that the
Spanish gunboat at Caimanera has been
loaded with inflammables and will be
burned with the city, her commander
declaring that she will never become
an American prize. The scouts also say
that the Spanish soldiers are in almost
as complete state of panic as are the
civilians, and that they could be easily
induced to surrender.
Another body of Spaniards was cap
tured yesterday by Ensign Pratt of the

Killed a Score of Spaniards.
There was a brief bonn bardment of
the blockhouse up the bay by the bat

and it is thought during the fight that
at least a score of Spaniards were
killed. Scouting parties report that
the blockhouse was completely de-
stroyed, but that they were unable to
discover any bodies, the remains OF the
soldiers who had been killed, probably
having been carried off by their COM
rades.
Late this afternoon the flagship New
York returned to the feet off Santiago
de Cuba.
The marines are growing very rest
less owing to the delay in the arrival
of the reinforcements of troops, but it
is generally believed here that the trans
