6, confirming the reports from the
United States that Morro castle and the
Estrella battery wsse 10th set afire by
the American shells. and that the Span
ish fortifications were immensely dam
aged. These versions say that the Mas
sachusetts and the Suwanee were some
what injured by shells. The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent says: The
spectacle was one of awe-inspiring
grandeur. Nobody who saw it could
ever forget it. The lightning flashed
and the thunder doomed, drowning the
roar of the guns, while a tropical rain
poured throughout a perfect deluge.
The Spanish shooting was better than
the American. The sunken collier Mer-
rimac does not block the entrance to the
channel. Admiral Sampson intends to
try to force the entrance when the
troops arrive. He expects to lose ship
or two, but is convinced that he will
succeed"
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
says: 1T Is surprising that the Ameri-
can losses were SO small, as the en-
gagement was very severe. Altogether
the bombardment might fairly be claim
ed by the Spaniards as a victory, for
after three hours firing by the pick Of
the American fleet Spain's colors were
still floating"
