miles from the Spanish positions, ex-
tending from Caney- on the right to
Aguadores.
Against Aguadores, Gen. Duffield
had moved out on our extreme left.
Our formation was approximately
this:
Gen. Lawton on the right to oper-
ate against Caney; Gen. Kent to his
left, and Gen. Wheeler's division. un-
der Gen. Sumner, forming the left of
the line.
The battle began with the discharge
of the guns Of the fleet off Aguadores
about o'clock, followed in about ff-
teen minutes by the opening of Gen.
Lawton's artillery posted to the east
Of Caney during the night In about
ten minutes the battery of the Second
artillery began to fire upon the center
and principal Spanish defenses east
Of the city of Santiago. There was no
return fire until the battery to the
left front of the barracks and the hos
pital in the upper end of Santiago had
been located. Then the Spanish gun
ners replied with surprising accuracy,
sweeping the brow Of the hill on which
our artillery was posted, forming the
left of Gen. Summers division. The
artillery duel became active, and, af-
ter we had got the range, our shells
proved very effective.
A majority of the Spanish shells fell
back of the hill among the infantry
posted there. The casualties at this
point were between thirty and forty
killed and wounded. A portion Of

was the signal made by the rear ad-
miral to the army ma1.
Gen. Duffield is ahead with the
scouts" came the answer from the
shore to the flagship.
AMERICAN DARING.
by this time 1t was o'clock and the
admiral ran the flagship's bow within
three-quarters Of a mile Of the beach
She remained almost as near during
the forenoon and the daring way she
was handled by Capt. Chadwick, with

ban pilot on board stare with aston

pany with the flagship, still closer in
shore, and the Gloucester was to the
westward, near Morro castle. From
the southwark the Newark came up
and took a position to the westward.
Her decks were black with 1000 or
more troops. She went alongside Of

the flagship and was told to disem-
bark the troops at Altares.
Then Admiral Sampson signalled to
Gen. Duffleld:
when do you want US to commence
flring?"
In a little while a white flag on
shore sent back the answer: when the
res. of the command arrives. Then I
will signal you
1t was a long and tedious wait for
the ships before the second fifty car
loads of troops came putting along
from Altares. About $50 the last Of
the soldiers had left the open railroad,
disappearing in the thick brush that
covered the eastern side Of Aguado-
res inlet. The water in the sponge
tubes under the breeches of the big
guns was growing hot in the burning
sun.
Ashore there was no sign of the en-
emy. They were believed to be on the
western bluff.
Between the bluffs runs rocky
gully leading into Santiago city. On
the extremity Of the western arm
was an old, castellated fort, from
which the flags were flying, and on a
parapet Of the eastern hill, command
ing the gully, two stretches Of red
earth could easily be seen against the
brush. These were the rifle pits.
FLEET OPENS FIRE.
At 1915 a signal flag ashore wig
wagged to Admiral Sampson to COM
mence firing, and a minute later the
New York's guns blaZed away at the
rifle pits and at the old fort
The Suwanee and Gloucester joined
in the echoes which rumbled around
and filled the gully. All the storedup
thunder of the clouds seemed to have
broken loose, and smoke soon rose over
the hills, and the gully was shut out
from view.
Then the firing became more delib-
crate.
Of our troops ashore in the brush
nothing could be seen, but the ping
ping" Of the small arms Of the army
floated out to sea during the occa-
sional lull in the firing Of the big guns,
which peppered the rifle pits until
clouds of red earth rose above them.
An eight-inch shell from the Newark
dropped in the massive old fort, and
clouds of white dust and huge stones
filled the air. When the small shells
hit its battlements, almost hidden by
green creepers, fragments of masonry
came tumbling down. A shot from
the Suwanee hit the eastern parapet
and it crumbled away like a mummy
exposed to the air after long years.
Amid the smoke and debris, the flag
staff was seen to fall forward.

tions Of Santiago for the fourth time
this morning. The bombardment last
ed from 4:56 to 5:12. The damage was
more serious than in previous bonn
bardments. The enemy's fire was ST.
fenced, Morro castle was badly knock
ed about, and the eastern, western
and Punta Gorda batteries were torn
up in many places. The Spanish flag,
which has flown all the time on Morro
castle, was shot down by the Oregon.
No casualties were reported on the
fleet.
The enemy's fire was slight, though
several of their shots came near. One
of them passed over the forecastle of
the flagship while Admiral Sampson
was on the bridge.

ChaHee's brigade was the first to cross

line Of outer Notifications.
At 2 o'clock Caney had not been
entered by the American troops, but
they had pushed on past 1t and it
was theirs at any time they chose to
march into 1t. At that hour Gen. Shaf-
ter, whose headquarters for the day
had been three miles to the rear, went
forward to assume personal command
of the operations. Some surprise Is
expressed that he did not wait for the
siege guns before beginning the final
attack, as the siege guns are still
on the beach at Baiquiri, but he de-
cided yesterday they were unnecessary
and determined to strike at once. The
only movement Of the day which did
not meet with success was Gen. Duff
fields attempt to occupy the sea vii
lage Of Aguadores. The New York,
Suwanee and Gloucester shelled the
old fort and the rifle pits during the
forenoon, drove all the Spaniards from
the vicinity and bowled over the para
pet from which flew the Spanish flag.
but owing to the broken railroad
bridge Gen. Duffield's troops were un-
able to get across the river which
separated them from the little town,
and were compelled to go back to
Juragua. 1t Is probable an effort will
be made tomorrow to repair the bridge
and complete movement made.
DUFF1ELD NOT DEFEATED.
Today it was reported at headuuar-
ters that Gen. Duff1eld had been de-
feated, but this Is not true, as he
did not encounter any large body of
Spaniards.
Many dramatic incidents occurred
during the day. with numerous evil
dences of splendid personal bravery
OF the American officers and men in
their work Of continuous and intense
physical strain, owing to the hills and
swamps and the fierce tropical sun
which hammered down upon them the
greater part Of the day.
The Cubans behaved with skill and
valor and rendered valuable aid.
Gen. Garcia and other Cuban gener-
ais led their troops in person and
showed great coolness in tight places.
The Spaniards fought stubbornIy
throughout. and the retreat, though
steady, was slowly and coolly conduct
ed. They contested every inch Of the
way and fought with unexpected skill,
their officers handling the troops with
bravery and good Judgment. AS in all
or their lighting, so far, they did most
or their work under cover, rarely
showing themselves in large bodies in
the open.
All the retreats were towards San
tiago, and 1t Is probable that by
nightfall the entire force of Spaniards
in the province Of Santiago de Cuba
will be within the cfty's walls, with
the exception Of 1000 men under Gen.
Pando, whose attempt to reinforce
Santiago is believed to have been frus-
trated.

FIERCE FIGHTING.

Away to the left Gen. Lawtons division with
Chaffee's men and Capron's battery was mean
time fighting fercey with the enemy entrenched
in and about Caney. The Spanards contested
every inch Of ground bitterly and fought with un-
expected GOODNESS and courage, but the irress:i-
BILE onward movement of the Americans slowly
forced them back upon and beyond Caney.
- About II O'Clock the terrible fire from Capt
Caprons guns and the muskets of the men broke
the Spanish line, and a retreat began towards the
outer Notifications. The enemy took the trail
known as the main Santiago road, and Capt
Grimes battery Immediately began pitching shells
after the retreating men, while detachments of
2,000 Cubans, headed by Garcia, were started to
cut off the retreat. No report has yet been re-
ceived from them. A large detachment of Gen.
Kent's reserves sent to aid Gen. Garcia in
this work, and it is probable fierce fighting oc-
Cured.
All this time Gen. Sumner had commanded
the CENTER owing to Gen. Wheelers illness, but
about il 80 Gen. Wheeler started on the two
miles, journey to the front in an ambulance
About half way to the front he met number of
litters bearing wounded The veteran, under pro-
test from the surgeons, Immediately ordered his
horses and after personally assisting the wounded
into the ambulance, mounted and rode on. The
men burst into frantic cheers, which followed the
general all along the line. By noon although still
very i'll, Gen. Wheeler had established headquar
ters at the extreme front and center of the line,
and still holds his position.
HEAVY CASUALTIES EXPECTED.
The hardest fighting of the day seems to have
been on the right flank and heavy casualties are
expected from there. The advance there was more
rapid than at other points on the line, and Gen.

SlBONEY, July 2 (via Juragua, via
Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica.
July 2)-On Friday evening Gen. Shaf-
ter said to the Associated Press corre-
spondent at his headquarters:
I'VE have Caney In our possession,
and the whole crest Of the plateau at
Caney. We have taken some 1000
prisoners on this side of Santiago. Gen.
Lawton Is moving to the left to join
the line with Gen. Wheeler The Span
iards have been driven back into the
enter it,
This statement was fully confirmed
by what the correspondent had seen a.
half hour before from Capt. Grimes
artillery position, which was still the
best point Of vantage from which to
survey the field. AT sunset as the cor
respondent stood on the summit be-
hind the cannon that had done such
gallant execution during the day, our
infantry occupying the blockhouse op-
posite the original center were still
cheerfully and necessarily peppering
away at the Spaniards that skulked be-
hind the entrenchments. 1t was thought
when darkness came that not a Span
lard would be found outside of the city
proper in that particular locality.
Most noticeable was the lack Of any
responsive fire from the Spaniards, fur
ther evidence, added TO that of the
afternoon that their ammunition was
greatly reduced. At that time all firing
had ceased on the ridge of our POSI-
ton and Gen. Lawton's artillery is al
ready moving past Caney.

Before clock this morning the crew
of the flagship were astir, eating a
hurried breakfast, and at $50 general
Quarters" was sounded, and the flag
ship headed in towards Aguadores,
about three miles east of Morro castle.
The other ships retained their blockad-
ing stations. Along the shore the
smoke Of an approaching train from
Altares was seen. 1t was composed
of open cars full of Gen. Duffield's
troops. At the cutting, mile east of
Aguadores, the train stopped and the
Cuban scouts proceeded along the rail-
road track. The troops got out Of the
cars an6 soon formed in a long, thin
line, standing out vividly against the
shallow rocks that rose perpendlcularly
above, shutting them off from the
main body Of the army, which is on
the east side of the hill, several miles
north.
From the quarters of the flagship
there was a signal by vigorously
wig-wagged letters and a few minutes
later from a lump Of green at the
waters edge, came an answer from
the army. This was the first co-opera-

musketry fire of the cavalry men, the Spaniards
in the little town Of Ell Paso retreated, and Capt
Grimes battery took up position there and be-.
gan rapid firing into Caney. The guns of the
two batteries made the place so hot that the
enemy finally retired, having no artillery The
town was surrounded by rough earthworks and
lines OF barbed wire. After the enemy had been
driven from Ell Paso twenty-one shots were fred
by Capt. Grimes and Capt Capron from that posi-
tion into the outer Notifications of Santiago be-
fore response came When it did come, how
ever, it came with unexpected accuracy, the shots
being from three and iveinch rapid fire guns evi-
IDENTIFY taken from Admiral Cervera's ships and
mounted behind the Notifications. The Spanish
gunners raked the hill which Ell Paso stands,
and which had been the headquarters of the Gu
ban generals Garcia, Castillo Capote and Rabi
The first shot struck large sugar house on The
red corrugated roof of which stood ten Cubans
viewing the fight. The roof fell, and all the Cub
ans were wounded, and three of them will die.
GALLANT CHARGE.
A detachment of 800 Cubans went forward
from El Paso, and then Col. Wood, with the rough
the hillside straight for the enemy's Notifications
Capt Grimes battery poured steady fire into the
Spaniards to protect Woods advance. The dis
mounted cavalry paused on their way through the
tangled grass and underbrush, and half way down
the hillside selected good spot to halt and from
there opened and maintained for twenty minutes
hot fire. The opposing batteries kept up warm
fire, and Grimes sent shot and grapnel down into
the Notifications, and the Spaniards pounded
away at the hilltop with vicious persistency. Most
of the Spanish shells went the hilltop and fell
into the ravine beyond. Here several detachments
of Cuban troops were standing as reserves, and
before they could be moved seven insurgents were
killed and several slightly hurt. At the same time
two Americans were killed and nine wounded.
The spaniards used smokeless powder, and shot
with a great deal more accuracy than in the pre-
yious engagement. The wonder is that there were
not more lives lost, as the opposition batteries
were only two miles apart. Col. Woods brigade
behaved with great bravery, firing steady and
deadly volleys with the enemy's shells screeching
and bursting over their heads Twenty minutes;
of fearfully hot work senced the Spanish batter
les. Ten shots were sent into them after they
ceased firing, but there no response, and it is
presumed the guns were dismounted or the gun
ners driven off.
