and that the American losses were heavy. The exact wording of the dis patch was not made known, but one of the high officials who read it said 1t conveyed to him the idea of extreme tension and of battle in which all the fiercest elements of warfare prevailed.
 Until this came the officials were pos itively without a word as to whether the engagement begun yesterday was continuing to-day. They could only speculate, some taking the view that the assault of yesterday had been fol- lowed by a storming of the city itself others maintaining that Shafter's troops, spent with the terrible strain of yesterday, had paused to-day long enough to clear the field of its dead. and wounded.
 It was only this. brief message, which under ordinary circumstances would have received little attention, that the President and his advisers were made aware that the battle was still in progress and still without definite is

WASHINGTON, July 2.-This has been a day of almost unparalleled sus- pense and anxiety. From President Mckinley down all through official Washington everybody was under a tremendous strain. Tidings from Shaf- ter have been eagerly awaited and momentarily expected, but save brief word on the extent of the loss yester day nothing came from him during the day concerning the progress of the ac- ton at Santiago.
 Just at the close of the day the first bit of information coming directly to the officials reached the President and Secretary Alger. It was private dis patch, not primarily intended for them, although 1t came through official chan nels Briefly and expressively it told the story of a day of terrific fighting. It was direct from the field of action as late as D. m. It stated that the engagement had been in progress throughout to-day; that the dead and wounded were being carried to the rear

in the echoes which rumbled around and filled the gully. All the stored-up thunder of the clouds seemed to have broken loose, and smoke soon arose over the hills, and the gully was shut out from view. Then the firing became more deliberate. Of our troops ashore in the brush nothing could be seen, but there could be heard the ping, ping" of the smallarms during a Hull in the firing of the big guns. These were pep pering the rifle pits and clouds of red earth arose around them.
 An eight-inch shell from the Newark dropped in the massive old fort, and clouds of white dust and huge stones filled the air. When the small shells hit the battlements, almost hidden by green creepers, fragments of masonry came tumbling down. A shot from the Suwanee hit the eastern parapet and it crumbled away like air. Amid the smoke and debris the flagstaff was seen to fall from 1t.
 "The flag has been shot down." shout ed the ships crew, but when the smoke cleared away the emblem of Spain was seen to be still flying and blazing bril- l lIdUIly was bending toward the earth Ap- parently the flagstaff had been caught firmly In the wreckSge of the fort. A few more shots leveled the battlements until the castle was pitiful sight.
 At11:3O General Duffield signaled that his scouts reported that no damage had been done to the Spanish rife pits by the shells from the ships and Admiral Sampson told him they had been hit several times, but that there was no one in the pits. However, the Suwanee was ordered to fire a few more shots in their direction.
 At 12:1S D. m the New York, having discontinued firing at Aguadores, com menced ring S-inch shells clear over the gully into -' city of Santiago de Cuba. Every five minutes the shells went rearing over the hillside. What ruction th,.J- wrought 1t was impos- sible to tell, as the bluffs hide every thing.
 To General Tuffield's question What is the news?" Admiral Sampson re- piled:
 "There is 0ot a SpaniarG left in the rife pits"
 Later General Duffield signaled that his scouts thought endorsements were marching to the battered old fort and Admiral Sampson wigwagged to him:
 There are no Spaniards left there. If any come the Gloucester will take care of them."
 little later the Oregon joined the New York in sending S-inch shells into the city of Santiago. This was kept up until 1:40 p. m By that time General Duffield had sent a message saying his troops could. not cross the stream and would return to Altares. Acting upon the report that some Spanish troops were still in the gully the New York and Gloucester shelled it once more and the Newark, which had not fired, signaled:
 Gan I fire for target practice? Have had no previous opportunity
 Permission for her to do so was sig naled and she blazed away, shooting well, her 6-inch shells exploding with remarkable force among the rocks
 At 2:40 D. m. Admiral Sampson hoisted the signal to cease firing and the flagship returned to the blockading squadron.
 On the railroad a train load of troops had already left for Altares.

fight longer against such a supe- rlor enemy. Accordingly the Wanlpatuck hastened to the res cue of the Hornet, the Hist meantime keeping up its sharp est fire.
 After the Wampatuck had sue ceeded in getting line on the Hornet she steamed out to sea with the disabled vessel in tow. |. The Hist followed close after, pouring shot at the enemy until out of:range.
 :. During the engagement the American vessels succeeded in sinking one of the Spanish gun boats, one sloop and one -pon- toon. They also disabled the en- erny's torpedo-boat, did much damage to several of the gun boats in the harbor, and made a marked impression on the Span ish land batteries.
 They also discovered the Pu- risima Conception and two large transports lying in the har- Dor.
 As if this were not enough ex- .citement for one day the small auxiliary cruiser Hist poked her nose into Neguira Bay and dis covered Spanish gunboat lying there. She immediately opened fire on the Spaniard, which, ta- ken completely by surprise, re- piled feebly and inaccurately. She was sunk by the Hist in ten min utes.
 The Hist subsequently, had an- other exciting experience with a ship laden with Spanish troops and again the little fighter came out with new laurels. She dis covered a troopship some dis tance out from the shore, and promptly challenged her.
 The ship did not stop when the Hist fired a shot across her bow. Instead, her captain. sent her to- ward the. shore.
 The captain of the Hist knew that he could take his little craft just as far in as the Spaniards could go with the troopship, so he started in hot pursuit after the larger vessel. He could not cap ture the ship, but he drove her aground. Without attempting to save their vessel the Spaniards scrambled ashore and disap- peared in the woods.
 All three vessels sent by Ad- miral Sampson to Manzanillo are members of the auxiliary fleet. The Hist formerly was the Thes- pia. She is I74 feet long, 8 feet wide, and has a displacement of -472 tons.
 The Hornet was formerly the Alicia. She is Ioo feet long, 24 feet wide and has displacement of 425 tons.
 The Wampatuck was the tug Atlas. She is II7 feet long and 25 feet wide. Her displacement is 462 tons and she can make thirteen knots an hour.
 The Hornet is fifteen-knot boat, and the Hist makes twelve knots an hour.

SPAIN WAITS THE ISSUE
NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED.
BUT MADRID IS CALM
Frelates Assembled Mt the Capital
to Offset the Effect of the Actfv-
tty of the Carlists-Some Large
Talk as to What the Dons VIII
Do With Their Asiatic Squadron
in tie Future.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, April 27.-As a counter
poise to the growing sympathy toward
the CarliSts among the people since Don
Carlos raised a vigorous war note
against the United States, the Spanish
cardinals and prelates are now assem-
bling here to visit the queen regent col
Iectlyely, declaring their adhesion to
ana support Of the reigning dynasty.
They will endeavor to convince the peo-
pie that the queen regent has never
advocated peace at any price, but thor
oughly participates in the enthusiasm
OF the people to defend the honor and
rights Of Spain.
This attitude Of the prelates will
cause sensation throughout the coun-
try, greatly irritating the Carlists.
Tonight Madrid is absolutely unmoy-
ed. The capture Of the American bark
Saranac by a Spanish gunboat near
Manila caused momentary excite
ment, but the town is expectant of the
result of the action likely to occur off
the Philippines, and awaits the out
come with perfect confidence.
There is report in circulation here
that some of the Spanish cruisers now
gathered about Manila will be used
later to scour the Pacific and destroy
American commerce in those waters
The Liberal reminds Gen. Fftzhugh
Lee that five days have elapsed of the
n1teen he prophesied would suffice to
drive the Spaniards out Of Cuba" and
asks:
In view of the little progress made,
Whether Gen. Lee has not miscalculat-
ed"
Continuing, the Liberal says: "It ap-
pears that a coup de main upon Ma
Mia Is now intended, but the Spaniards
are quite confident that the result will
be disastrous to the Americans. There
is great enthusiasm at Manila, where
5000 volunteers have been enrolled, and
a warm reception is being prepared
for the Americans"
In conclusion, the Liberal prophesies
that friction will arise owing to Amer
lean intrusion in the waters of the
far East, where the European powers
and Japan have barely succeeded in
eStaonsh1ng modus -vivendi and
where European merchant ships swarm.
The Liberal Hkens the United States
squadron to dog among nine pins. -
