the ships went into the harbor is not
known, though it is quite probable
that those in charge of the firing sta
ton, located at some concealed point,
had been previously driven away by
scouting Americans or Cubans.
While the vessels were returning
through the narrow channels, they
were subjected to vicious rifle fire
from concealed Spaniards on the shore.
The Suwanee, however, trained her
small guns on the bushes and soon put
the Spaniards to flight. How many
Spaniards were killed during the ex.
pedition is not known but not single
American was even wounded, and no.
where on the bay was left formidable
Spanish battery. The Spanish gun
boats were not located, and their cap
ture was left for another expedition.

holes in the hills, and the little island
was almost swept clean.
The bombardment Thursday morn
ing was more terrific than any which
has been delivered heretofore. The
orders were to "First silence the bat
teries on the shore, and then con-
tinue firing until Notifications are re-
duced." 1t was the first time that
such orders had been given. The first
shot of the New York landed in a
party of Spaniards engaged in mount
ing some guns on a hillside. 1t scat
tered them. Then the other vessels
joined in with their big guns. Almost
every shot went true, and in 38 lnin-
utes the order came to cease firing.
There was not left single battery or
gun in sight, except those of MORO
Castle. The belief is that Lieutenant
Hobson and his men are imprisoned
in the castle, and all along Admiral
Sampson has been leaving the castle
alone.
After 13-inch shell from the Texas
went over the hill into the bay, there
came a most terrific explosion. At
first the officers and men believed that
the shell blew up the magazine of one
of the western batteries in the harbor.
Since there has been growing belief
that instead the shell struck and blew
up one of the warships. No definite
information has been procured.
There was no more bombardment
during Friday or Saturday but it was
gruesome sight that the vicinity of
the site of the Spanish fortifications
furnished to the Americans. At differ
ent places squads of soldiers could be
seen digging in the torn earth, evident
ly looking for the bodies of dead COM
rades, and circling around, only short
distance overhead or perched on neigh
boring trees, were thousands of buz-
yards which had been attracted by
the smell of carrion.
For several hours on Friday, the
Spanish flag hung at half mast over
Moro castle. This is an unusual Cir
cumstance in battle, and the officers of
the fleet were puzzled to know the
meaning. 1t was a general conclusion
that probably some high Spanish Off
Ger had been killed. Some suggested
that it was intended as a notification
to the Americans of the death of Hob
son and his men but this Admiral
Sampson does not believe. All along
Moro castle has been spared, and if

COMPLETE DEVASTATION.
Scene Around the Entrance to Santiago
HarbOr.

HarDOr.
An Associated Press dispatch, pub
lished in the papers of Monday morn
ing, tells of the devastation that was
wrought by the last bombardment of
Wednesday night and Thursday morn
ing.
The batteries and Notifications
guarding the channels had been sub
iected to several bombardments, and
each had did great damage. 1t has
been the policy Of Admiral Sampson,
however, to proceed by degrees. Each
bonn bardment is calculated TO demor-
alize the enemy to certain extent
and leave him in not quite so good
shape to resist the next. All the en-
gagements have been fierce /; but they
were not nearly so fierce as the last.
On Wednesday night the admiral
signalled to the fleet that next morn
ing he would 60 in to complete the
work, and that is what was done.
The dynamite cruiser Fesuvius had
already thrown in several shells the
night before, and the result has already
been reported. Wednesday night the
cruiser was sent close up to the en-
trance of the harbor and she dropped
in three more of her terrible torpedoes.
One of them fell on hill to the right,
another on a hill to the left, and a
third on Cayo Smith, an island battery
in the centre of the channel. The
dispatches say that on the spots where
the charges fell were left only great

their decks would have afforded good
targets for the hidden rifemen; but if
there were any rifemen along the
route they did not show themselves.
1t was known that most of the
channels of the bay were mined, and
there was good reasons to fear that
some of the ships might be blown up.
This, in fact, was the principal source
of apprehension on the part of the
officers and men of the warships but
by good fortune there were no eXplo-
sions in their path.
Approaching to within about 1000
yards of the Caimanera Notifications,
the Texas let fly Pinch shell, which
fell short. Then the Marblehead
banged away with some 5-iuch shells,
which also missed. By this time, how
ever, the Spaniards had been walked
up, and they answered with five shots.
They would have fired more; but the
Texas now had the range. She COM

shells, and everytime a shell would

set fire to dozen or more buildings in
different quarters. The barracks of
the soldiers were set on fire and de-
stroyed.
As the Marblehead was withdraw

fouled mine which had been loosened
from its moorings by the commotion
caused by the ships in passing through
the channel and by the concussion
caused by the frings. The ship was
stopped as soon as possible, and the
connections to the mine were cut. In
vestigation disclosed several other
mines, and all Of them were taken in
tow. When they were looked into,
it was found that they each contained
so pounds of guncotton. Anyone of
them, if exploded at the proper time,
would have been sufficient to have
sunk the largest vessel ahoat. Why
