order for an advance was issued by

knew that desperate struggle would

troops in a fever of excitement and
the night was spent in cheering and

ORDER OF BATTLE
At o'clock this morning hundreds
OF bugles rang out the reveille, and be-
fore the sun had risen the great line
was complete. To the extreme left was
General Duffield, with the Thirty-third
Michigan, his command having reached
the Aguadores bridge by train. Next,
TO the northeast, was General Kent's
division, mile and a half from the
sea, and held as reserve force. The
center of the line was held by a cav
airy division, which, until General
Wheeler arrived at noon, was COM
manded by General Sumner
Owing to General Youngs Illness,
Colonel Woods of the RICH riders COM
manded his brigade, which consisted
OF the First regulars, the First volun-
teers and the Tenth regulars, and one
battalion of the Ninth regular cavalry,
all dismounted, with the exception of
two troops on the extreme right, under
Generals Lawton and Chaffee, fully five
miles from the sea.
1t had been arranged that General
Duffield should make a feint of at
lacking Aguadores, in order to draw
attention from the main movement,
and at o'clock General Lawtons
troops moved forward, led by battery
of the First artillery, under command
Of Captain Allyn Capron. Every man
in the army carried three days rations
and ammunition to match, and every
one knew that he was not expected to
return to camp until Santiago had fall
len.
OPENED BY LAYTON.
General Lawton's division opened the
fight with a 13-pound shot, quickly
followed by others, the infantry open
ing fire Immediately afterwards. At
$40 a. m. General Garcia advanced
rapidly through the brush in the val
ley, meeting with no opposition, and
General Lawton advanced along the
north side, the infantry and artillery
firing heavily. Captain Grimes guns

had just galloped to the plateau in
grand style and opened fire.
The telegraph line, Labrunelle super
intending, kept up with the advance
in fine style. The observation balloon
was inflated for the first time and
made three successful experimental
ascensions, the car holding six men,
CAPRON'S AVENGING SHOT.
The first shot was fired from the
whose son, Captain Allyn X Capron,
of the Rough Riders. was killed in
the battle of Sevilla. The shot was di-
rected at Caney, where the Spaniards
were in force, and it fell in the heart
of the town. The firing continued 20
minutes. without response.
Meantime the cavalry division had
moved forward on the main Santiago
trail headed by light battery of the
Second artillery, under Captain Grimes.
The movement of this battery was a
heart breaking task, owing to the mud
in the valley and a steep hill. Under
the musketry fire of the cavalry men
the Spaniards in the little town of Ell
Paso retreated and Captain Grimes
battery took a position there and be-
gan a rapid firing into Caney. The
guns of the two batteries made the
place so hot that the enemy finally re-
tired, having no artillery.
The town was surrounded by earth
works and lines of barbed wire.
SPANIARDS' DEADLY AIM
After the enemy had been driven
from FL Paso, 81 shots were fired by
Captain Grimes and Captain Capron
from that position into the outer for
tifications of Santiago before a response
came. When it did come, however, it
came with uneXcelled accuracy, shots
and shells from three-inch rifles, evil
IDENTIFY taken from Admiral Cervera's
war ships, and mounted behind the for
tifications.
The Spanish gunnerS raked the hill
on which Ell Paso stands, and which
meantime had been made the head
quarters of General Sumner and the
Cuban generals, Garcia, Castillo, Ca
pote and Rabi. One shell struck

rugated roof of which stood the Cubans

all the Cubans were wounded and
three of them will die.

the hillside straight for the enemy's

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

The transports composing the first expe-
dition to the Philippines are overdue, and
the belief is expressed that they have
stopped to take possession of the Caro-
line islands.
The next expedition to the Philippines
will take the bulk of the troops now at
Camp Merritt.
The troops at Chickamauga that receiv-
ed orders a few days ago are now ready
to start for the front.
1t is alleged that Germany. France and
Russia have reached an understanding to
act in concert in preventing America or
England from retaining all of the Philip
pines.
The battle of Santiago was renewed yes
terday. but no reports were received ex-
cept that the fighting was furious. and
the American losses were heavy. The
losses in the first days battle are now es-
timated at 1000 killed and wounded. Cap
tain Morrison of the Sixteenth and sew
eral officers of the Twenty-fourth were
among the wounded.

FIRST DAYS BATTLE.
A Graphic and Comprehensive Story
of the Fight.


(Copyrieh. 1898, by the Associated Press.)

patch Boat Dandy, off Juragua, Friday,
July l, 4 p. m. (via Port Antonio, ia
Inaica, Saturday, July 2, a. m, and
Kingston, Jamaica, 7:h a. m.)-The
battle of Santiago has ragged all day,
and at 4 O'Clock this afternoon 5000
American troops are laundering at the
outer Notifications Of the domed city.
Since daybreak General Skaters army
has fought its way across two and
half miles of bitterly contested and
strongly fortified country, and the en-
tire line of the men to the right is
within gunshot of Santiago town.
The American loss thus far is esti-
mated at hospital headquarters at 20
killed and so wounded, but it will be
hours before the death roll can be ac-
curately given. Lieutenant Colonel Pat
terson of the Twenty infantry
is the only officer known to have been
wounded, and he is not fatally hurt.
Spanish killed and wounded are I'M
doubtedly numbered by hundreds.
The Spanish stronghoids of Caney
and Ell Paso have fallen, and the fort
at Aguadores, just east of MORO cas-
tle on the coast, has been blown to
ruins by the guns of the fleet. With
the exception OF ABOUT I,OUU lTOOpS, WHO
are guarding Baiquiri and Juragua, the
entire army is engaged, together with
4. 900 of General Garcia's Cuban troops.
The men fought gloriously, and if
the same measure of success which
attended today's engagement follows
the fighting OF the next "A hours, the
American flag will fly from Saniago's
walls on Sunday. officers and men
are fully convinced that the city will

steady fire into the Spaniards to pro-
tect Colonel Woods advance. The dis
mounted cavalry paused on their way
through the tangled grass and under
brush, and, half way down the hill
side, selected good spot to halt and
from there opened and maintined for
20 minutes a hot fire. The opposing
batteries banged away, Captain Grimes
sending a storm of lead down into the
outer Notifications and the Spaniards
pounding away at the hilltop with vi
cious persistency.
Most of the Spanish shells went over
the hilltops and fell in ravine beyond
Here several detachments of Cuban
troops were stationed as reserves and
before they could be removed, seven
of them were seriously wounded and
several slightly hurt. AT the same time
two Americans were killed and nine
wounded. The Spani2rds used smoke
less powder and shot with much more
accuracy than during the previous en-
gagements. The wonder is that many
more lives were not lost, as the oppo-
sition batteries were less than two
miles apart.
BATTERIES sILENCED.
General Woods command behaved
with great bravery, firing steady and
deadly volleys, with the enemy's shells
screening and pursuing over their
heads. Twenty minutes of fearfully
hot work silenced the Spanish batteries
Ten shots were sent into them after
they ceased firing, but there was no
response, and it is presumed that the
guns were dismounted or the gunners
driven off,
Away to the left General Lawton's
division, with Chaffee's men and Cap
ron's battery, was meantime fighting
fiercely with the enemy entrenched in
and about Caney. The Spaniards con-
tested every inch of ground bitterly
and fought with unexpected teoolness
and courage, but the irresistible on
ward movement of the Americans
slowly forced them back on and be-
yond Caney.
ENEMY DRIVEN BACK.
About II o'clock the terrible fire from
Captain Capron's guns and the muskets
of the men broke the Spanish line, and
a retreat began towards the line of
outer Notifications. The enemy took
the trail known as the main Santiago
road, and Captain Grimes battery i'm
mediately began pitching shells in
ahead of the retreating men, while a,
detachment of 1000 Cubans, headed by
