VI the LOnuOu AAHeS Oh
the Fight.
LONDON, July 4.-The Times, this
morning, discussing the fighting at
Ell Caney. says: Both sides have
shown courage Of a very high order,
and 1t is hard to say whether the
splendid dash and bravery Of the
American advance in the teeth of a
calling fire, or the stubborn defense
or the Spanish, is the more admirable.
Both sides have learned to appreciate
the splendid military qualities Of their
adversaries. It is pity that enc
mics who show themselves such wor-
thy foemen In the field cannot see
their way to save bloodshed by COM
ing Immediately to an agreement on
the inevitable base. The Spaniards
have amply indicated their honor,
and If they were wise they would
prove their common sense by offering
terms to their opponents, terms,
which. if they were reasonable, would
certainly be discussed in a generous
spirit"

In Gem Lawton's division the Second

the day sustained the heaviest loss, al
though other regiments were more 40
lively engaged. During the afternoon
the fight for the possession of Caney
was most obstinate and the ultimate
recovery reflects great credit upon the
American troops. 1t was a glory, too,
for Spain, though she never had
Chance to win at any time during the
day. her men fought in intrenchments,
covered ways and block houses, while
the American forces were in the open
from first to last. The Spanish SOL
diers stuck to their work like men and
this, the first land fight of the war
may well cause Spain to feel proud Of
her men.
The American soldiers attacked the
intrenchments through open ground

PLAN OF BATTLE.

TAftIN Of BAI1LE.
The plan of battle was for Capt
Allyn Capron's battery, of the First
artillery, which held a position in the
center, above Gen. Ludlow to shell
the fort near the town, for Gen. Chat
fee to close in as soon as the artillery
had reduced the fort and driven the
Spaniards towards Santiago, Gen. Lud-
low to lay in the road below the hill on
which Capt. Caprons battery was sta
toned, and swing in on Gen. Chaffee's
let, while Col. Miles brigade was to
keep close to Gen. Ludlow's right and
by simultaneous movement sweep
the Spaniards in toward Caney.
Gen. Lawton, who personally direct
ed the operations of his division. left
his camp on the road from Siboney to
Santiago at a. m, and at O'Clock
was with Capt. Capron's battery on
the hill above Caney.
Orders were given that the battle
Should begin from the center unless
Gen. Chaffee, who was nearest to the
enemy. should find himself attacked
first
The action opened at GAS a. m. with
shot from the second section Of Capt.
Capron's battery. 1t struck close to
the stone fort near Caney Another
shot hit the fort fairly The Spaniards
gave up the idea of holding the stone
fort proper after it was struck the
first time and the whole garrison ran
down the hill. The covered way in
front of the fort, however was held
by the Spaniards, who maintained an
obstinate fire upon our troops who
were advancing through the bush and
groves. only firing an occasional shot.
Capt. Capron's battery opened on
the enemy at once and tore the ground
up with shells. sending clouds of dust
high into the air. The battery also
sent a number of shells entirely
through the fort tearing down large
sections of the walls. This fine marks
manship was repeated several times
the battery stopping the fire of the
Spanish soldiers. who had opened re-
peatedly from the covered way pits.
When the final closing in movement
was begun at 6 p. m. the town Of
Caney was taken and q large number
Of prisoners were captured The Span
ish loss is 1000 in all.

Sun day afternoon Bishop Winner preached at St Mary -on- -the-H: :ghlandS aaa1 also con- f1rmed a class. A vefy large and attentive congregation filled St. Mary's to its utmost seating capaSlty, and the eagerness to hear the distinguished bishop was a deserved tribute to his pee5y and his genius Bishop Wilmer has aged very rapidly within the last few years. His vigorous vitality and aggressive nenta1Jty-two of his strong ast characteristics in the rast-are greatly di- minishad and the first gSmpse of him to one who has not seen hem for some time brings necessarily a great surprise.

It was a beautiful sermon, eloquent in its simplicity and in its ehtldllek faith.
 Bishop Winner for more than half a ceil- tury has been one of the most remarkably brilliant preachers of America, one of the distinguished historical figures of the south, and one Of the most devctedly consecrated Christians of lhs genration. Years do not lessen the interest of the church ami the world in his personality or his wonderful mental euldowments, nor do they dimfrfsn the peoples confidence in 1hds pielty and his spirituality. As long as Bishop Winner has a message to deliver to mankind they will be eager to hear, for he has lived the goepel he has preached and like St. Paul he has kept the faith His grandest sermon has been his consecrated Christian life.
 The music at St. Mary's was especially fine, both at the morning and afternoon services. Under the skiliful Efrection of Prof B. Guckenberger the vested choir of St. Mary's has become one of the very best to be found in any cdty, south or north-
