THE AMERICAN ACCOUNT

Cape Haytian, Hayti, May 81.
Later advices from Havana in
dicate that Commodore Schley
forced an entrance into the har-
Dor of Santiago and enga ged the
Spanish fleet.
He sent two Of the torpedo
boats to the entrance of the har-
Dor before daylight and they sue
ceeded in countcrmining the chan
mel. The mines placed by them
were then exploded and the Span
ish mines were blown up by the
terrific cOncuSSiOn.
Two monitors Of Schley'S fleet
steamed slowly into the entrance
TO the harbOr, pouring a steady
stream OF roj"ctilcS upon the
shore batteries with telling effect.
just as they got through the mar
row entrance the monitors were
met there by three Spanish armor
clad vessels and the battle be
tween the fleets began. The
Texas and other battle ships fol-
lowed the monitors and divided
their fire bet tWeen the forts and
the Spanish ships.
For four hCurS the great guns
on both fleets and the shore bat
teries kept up a continual firing,
and the din was something awful.
The Spanish ships stood the fire
remarkably well aud no percepti-
bic damage was done to any OF
the vessels OF either llect.
The Spanish vessels finally
Withdrew and then the ships oI
Commodore Schley' : fleet devoted
their entire attention to the fOrti
fcations on shore which had beer
raining shot and shell on the
armor cIadS. 1t took sevcra
hours to silence these batteries
Several times when it appeared
that they had been complctelN
annhilated, the Spanlards Woult
open fire upon the American
ships. but the shots of the Span
iSh batteries did little if anV dam
age, as the armOr OF the AmerI
can vessels stood the battering it
splendid shape.
The latest adViceS received here
are to the effect that six Of Com
modore Schley'S vessels were
steamlng up the han Dor after tn,
Spaniards.

THE FOREIGN STU ALTON

London, June 1.-The Daily
Chronicle says today that the
general Situa tlOn is grave. The

reports of French designs on the
Canaries are gathering strength.
1t is perfectly understood that
England will regard France taking
the Canaries or Ceuta as an un-
friendly act; also, if France clips
Spain, public opinion here will de-
mand that England assist the
United States.

Port au Prince, June l.-Addi-
tlOnal details were received here
this morning from Spanish
sources Of the fight at Santiago,
yesterday. 1t says the Spanish
batteries first answered the fire
of the Americans in a lively man
ner. The Americans concen-
trated a violent fire upon Moro
Castle, destroying it. Forts
Zocapa and Punta Gorda fired
the last shots. The Spanish loss
must have been considerable. De-
tails Of the American loss are
lacking. The Spaniards claim
that they struck the American
vessels several times. At four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
Americans ceased firing. At
that hour no Spanish vessels
We're in sight.
Havana, June |, (Censored).- =
The following is the Spanish ac-
count Of the engagement at San
tiago issued here: The American
fleet, consisting of the Iowa.
Massachusetts, Brooklyn, Texas,
New Orleans, Marbleheld. Min
neapolls and another cruiser and
six small vessels took position on
| the western side of the mouth of
the Santiago channel and opened
fire. The Spanish cruiser, CriSto-
bel Colon, anchored toward Pun
ia COrda, could be seen from the
open sea. The fire of the Ameri
can fleet was answered by MOrrC
Castle and Punta Gorda batteries
and the CriStobcl Colon. Tn,
Americans fired seventy shots
wit hOut causing the least dam
age. The bOmbardmcnt lasted
ninety minutes. The American
fleet retired with an auxiliary
cruiser damaged. Two shells
were seen to explode on The
Iowa s stern. Flames were seer
aboard another battleship. Sew.
cral projectiles fell inside of The
