NEW YORK, May 23.-A Sun special
from St. Thomas. Danish West Indies,
says: THE firing at Santiago on Wednes-
day, May iS, was between the Spaniards
there and two American vessels. acting
under orders from Admiral Sampson. The
auxiliary cruiser ST. Louis and the tug
Wampatuck went TO Santiago for the pur-
pos, Of cutting the cable there. The cable
was picked up within range OF the guns of
Moro casNe and the Spaniards at once
opened fire on the Americans. Two sand
batteries and one mortar battery on the
shore at the bottom of the height on which
Moro is situated joined In, 10 which the
Americans responded. The aim OF the
Spanish gunners was atrociously bad.
The men who were detailed to cut the
cable grappled for It from the deck OF the
ST Louis. They found II with little dii'i-
