The general Of the invading army and

shells about MORO Castle. the Ncsuvlus

After the fall of Santiago there will be

CAPT. tULATE OF THE VlZCAYA
Says Admiral Cervera Chose What II.
Thought the best Time to Leave,

OFT Santiago, July g. via Kingston. Ia
maica-Tho ease with which the Ameri-
cans won the fight with Admiral Cervera's
squadron was not due to strength of num-
bcrS. They fought the enemy ship for
ship. Cervera had shrewdly waited until
the blockade was weakest He had seen
the fast cruiser New Orleans leave: the
outlook reported that the New York was
down the coast, and that one of the bat
tlcships had gone to Guantanamo for coal
I'VE thought" Capt. Eulate of the Viz
cnyl, said, that 1t was the Oregon which
had left for coal We knew that we could
outrun the Massachusetts or the Indiana,
the Iowa, or the Texas, and believed II we
could lead the Brooklyn long chase we
could close in and sink her. She was the
only ship on station on the American side
which We believed could equal us in
speed"
Admiral Cervera reasoned shrewdly hut
he did not know the temper of the Am
erican ships crews, and the Oregon,
which he supposed he was to evadc, was
on hand. and ran him down in n long
chase, heavy battleship though she be.
All of the American fleets yachts and
torpedo oatchers were away, except the
little Gloucester. Only the Oregon, the
Iowa, the Brooklyn, and the Texas were
near enough to the entrance of the harbor
to engage the Spanish ships II they made
dash to the westward. This explains
why Ccrvera chose to make the desperate
attempt at $3.50 o'clock In the morning
rather than under cover OF night

PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
American Artillery Ready to Renew tho
BUmbardment of santiago O-Think
They Can Capture the City.

Headquarters in the field before Santi-
ago, Monday July 4. . r. M, via Kingston,
Wednesday, July G.-Thc artillery has re-
maincd in position throughout the day on
the ridge above I;l Pozo, two miles east
of Santiago. where it was placed yester-
day morning with Il view of taking part
in the Dombardmcnt of the city.
The artllerymen have made prepara-
tiOns to resist Il fierce return fire from
the Spanish Siege guns. which are mount.
ed on lii" outskirts of the town and which
have shown they possess good gunners
and accurate range finders. Fits have
been dug for the men and the horses have
been removed to a place of safety, where
it is thought the Spanish guns will not
be able To reach them. capt. CaprOn :
battery was withdrawn from the hill last
night and sent behind Gen. Lawton's po-
sition, from which place it will have cross
fire with the batteries on FL Pozo ridge
and at the same time be able to shell the
north end of the town.
The artillery officers are confident they
win bc able when the bomhardmcnt be-
gins, to silence tho Spanish guns and to
reduce the entire position of the enemy,
50 that the forward rush of our trool ;
will meet with little or nothing beyond
rifle fire and they are confident the city
can be taken as soon as they are permit
ted to open lire and to take n hand in the
battle.
The incidents attending the death of
Lieut.. ord, son of the late Gen. L. O. G.
ord, were dramatic. He was an aide on
the STAFF of Gen. Hawkins and through
out ;he day Of the battle was active and
energetic in getting the troops up to the
line. lie was right in the front rank
when the Sixth. Thirteenth and Twenty
fourth and Sixteenth regiments made
their desperate charge on San Juan hill
and was one Of the first officers to reach
the summit.
just as he passed the brow Of the hill
he saw n Spaniard lying on the ground
and pointing to him, said: Take care OF
that man" The Spaniard saw the motion
ana evidently thinking Lieut.. ord was or
derng him killed he raised his rifle and
shot the lieutenant dead.
The soldiers OF the sixth infantry, as
Lieut. ord was an officer of that regiment
and very popular with the men, were wild
with rage and literally tore the body OF
the Spaniard to pieces with bullets. Ther
they kicked it into trench.

PATRICK M'KEowN's STORY.
LACK or oRGANIzATGoN AMONG
-TIIE-CREW.

Matteo Zurich a Norwegian, said it did
not appear to be anybody's duty to look
after the launching of the boats. Those
on the port side were not touched by the
crew. People waited for the boats to be
launched. hut in short time the steamer
listed so rapidly it was impossible TO
launch them. Zurich declares that two Of
the life RATS upon which people were
saved were cut adrift by him. He was
unable to move them, but they tumblcd
overheard when the steamer cdreencd and
proved useful The steamer slowly set
tleu down by the stern and starboard side
and the water advancing gradually droN
the people forward. Finally men, women
and children were walking about on the
port bow in the air The ship gave "A
great plunge and hundreds of people were
in the water eraspng at broken oars, or
tmbers aud struggling madly for life.
Zurich thinks that had the boats been
launched as soon as the steamer struck,
several hundred who pershed could have
been saved
Only one of the port boats, a small one,
was launched. That was the boat the
second pursor escaped in. 1t was small
boat and was got afioat with great diff
ticuty.
The lashngs of the boat looked as
IL they had not been disturbed for long
time. The fastenngs on the life RATS
could not break when the ship went un-
der Zurich saw one boat leave the Bur-
gogne with only a few people in 1t.
Among the survivors Is IA small party
Of Assvrians and Armenians. There were
II Assyrians in the party when II left
New York, aud all but eight perisho d.
One of the eight lost his wife and two
brothers, and ten other relatives. An
other lost two daughters. Only one of IL
Armenians survive. The Assyrians were
bound for their homes near Damascus.
The one surviving Armenians tells IA sor-
rowful tale of the drowning of an Armen-
ian priest and his family who had got in
TO Il boat with some thirty other people
When the end was certain and the boat
was abandoned to it's fate by the crew,
who made no effort to launch It, the
priest stood up and with uplfted hands,
prayed aloud.
Several French priests stood on the deck
during the sinking of the steamer without
making an effort to save themselves, and
gave absolution to large number of pas
sengers.
There are no survivors who saved more
than enough clothing to cover themselves.
Franklyn has information that one
smokestack of the steamer fell across a
boat and smashed 1t as it was being
launched. There were about forty persons
in tho boat. Three boats we're found af-
ter the ship sunk bottom side up In one
1t was stated were several dead bodies
of women.
As one boat was launched men pushed
the women and children aside and tho

whose opinions he valued turn to look
at his wife; he heard her name whis-
pered; he saw admiring glances follow
her; he felt that amongst fair pink
and-white English girls she looked like
some southern queen. But the knowl-
edge of all this did not in the least
warm his heart to her. And she? She
had ceased to feel any great interest
in his opinion. The time had been
when she would perhaps have stood
before him, and have said, II hope you
are pleased with me, Lord Caraven.
She would not now; she was proudly,
superbly Indifferent. Indeed she
would have given much for the I'M
pulse, the desire to please him. 1t had
faded away-died of neglect.
