Admiral Cervera's squadron, in his. Off
cial report of the engagement to Rear
Admiral Sampson, says:
1.-The Spanish fleet turned to the
westward and opened fire, to which our
ships replied vigorously. For q short

fight OF projectiles over the ship, but
where. our line was fairly engaged the

We're trying to break through and es-
cape to westward, we went ahead at
full speed with the determination of
carrying out to the utmost your in
structions: If the enemy tries to es-
cape the ships must close and engage
him as soon ,as possible and endeavor
to sink his vessels or force them to run
ashore
Il cannot speak in too high terms
of the bearing and conduct of all on
board this ship. When they found the
Oregon had rushed to the front and was
hurrying to a succession of conflicts
with the enenIy's vessels, if they could
be overtaken and would engage, the
enthusiasm was intense.
Il am persuaded that but for the Of
fiCers and men of the Oregon, who
steamed and steered the ship and
fought and supplied her batteries, the
Colon and perhaps the Vizcaya would
have escaped"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-Major
General Otis has not yet received de-
finite orders regarding the sailing Of the

preston prevails in military circles that
the transports Peru and City Of Puebla

engaged or the troops to be assigned to
the fifth expedition to the Philippines.
The gunboat Bennington lay at anchor

The Yukon is said to be higher than

AFFAIRS AT SANTIAGO.
Progress in Pushing Ahead Heavy
Siege Guns is Disappointing.

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to
the Tribune" from Siboney, via Port
Antonio, says: The light artillery that
arrived on Saturday will be sent for
ward and placed in position for enfilad-
ing the trenches where the Spanish
forces are strongly intrenched.
The progress in pushing forward the
heavy siege guns is disappointing They
may be needed to reduce the main for
tifications of Santiago
Engineer and artillery officers are
positive that they have located accu-
rately the Spanish batteries, which
were so destructive in the earlier fight
ing.
The troops which came yesterday will
be used as a reserve and not sent ahead
too rapidly. The addition to the sup
plies brought by the transport will be
very serviceable.
The refugees from Santiago are be-
coming a serious military problem.
There is a large settlement of them at
Caney, but that was not sufficient, and
hundreds have spread beyond Siboney.
Rations are served to them.
The most Intelligent of the refugees
say that only small number of Span
lsh soldiers have recently entered San
tiago-not more than 1000 Dissensions
continue between General Toral, the
military Governor, and General Lii
mares. Caprites, the civil Governor,
wants Toral to surrender without fur
ther bloodshed, but the military faction
is stubborn.
The reports of the bad health Of the
American troops in the field are exag-
gerated. The chief suffering has been
from malaria and ordinary camp all
ments, which yield to treatment Some
of the regiments have also suffered
from physical exhaustion, because too
much labor was put upon them in dig
ging trenches and rifle pits.

AT the time the Hattie I. Phillips

The Hattie Phillips brings the sad
news of the death on the Manook trail
OF Victor +. Maidhof Of New York,
who was United States Consul to Anna
burg, Saxeny, during the first admins
tration of President Cleveland Maidhof

after he had lain four days in his sleep

The Phillips also brings word of the
drowning in hole in the ice, while

more recently from Victoria, B. c.
Nearly all the returning miners state
that they left the Yukon country owing

The miners speak very bitterly of the

The Train Was on an Up Grade and
Escaped Injury.
Supposed That Amateurs Tried to
Wreck and Rob It-Hattie I.
Phillips Brings Down Miners
From the Klondike-Ex-Un
States Consul Maidhof Frozen
to Death on the Manook Trail.

LOS ANGELES, July 1O.-An at
tempt was made this morning to wreck
the train from San Diego to this city on
the Santa Fe Surf line near Encinitas.
The Los Angeles Times flyer, which
carries the paper to San Diego, en-
countered an obstruction built of ties
across the track.
The flyer was on a steep up grade
and was able to stop in time to escape
striking the obstruction. The north
bound train was due at this place few
minutes later and would have been on
the down grade and a serious accident
could not have been prevented. 1t is
supposed that amateurs made an at
tempt to wreck and rob the train.
