SPANIARDS SUFFERED SEVERELY.
UncOnfirmed Report that the Cruiser
Maria TereSa Was Sunk.

Copyright, $685. by the Associated Press.)
CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, June Z, 9:05 a. m.
The fighting before and in the vicinity of
Santiago de Cuba continued the greater
part of yesterday, from 745 a.. m. until
nearly II. Ten of the American war ships
maintained a steady and carefully directed
fire against Ell Moro Castle and the batter
les at Punta Gorda, Socopa and Sincorealez.
in addition to bombarding the Spanish fleet
in the harbor. The percentage of effective
projectiles was very large
1t appears from the best information OBJ
tainable at this place, the cable station con-
Meeting with Santiago de Cuba, that i'm
mense damage was inflicted on the enemy.
The Spaniards admit that the bombardment
from the American fleet was most destruc-
tive. About 1000 projectiles are said to have
been fired by the American war ships, and
it. seems that the responsive fire from the
Spanish forts and ships was scarcely felt at
all by the Americans. The Notifications near
the entrance of the harbor are described as
being riddled by solid shot and being scat
tered by the explosion of the immense shells
fired by the American battle ships. The
Spanish batteries are said TO have been vir-
tually silenced and Ell MORO and the fortifi-
cations at Punta Gorda are reported to have
been demolished by the three hours uninter-
rupted hammering of the American fleet.
The American attack is next said to have
been especially directed against Aguedores,
a small coast town, a little east of the en-
trance to Santiago bay. The idea of the
American admiral, it appears, was to land
troops and siege guns there after reducing
the defenses of the place and thence make a
close assault upon Santiago, which, in view
of the present condition of it's Notifications,
may be expected TO yield very soon after
the beginning of such an attack. Heavy
cannonading was opened on Aguedores
about midday yesterday.
The latest advices received here from
Spanish sources do not indicate the duration
of the fire, or whether American troops and
siege guns were actually landed at Ague-
dores, but from the information obtainable
1t cannot be doubted that the net result of
Mondays fighting was extremely disastrous
to the Spanish defenses.
IT is also understood here that the Cuban
troops maintained, throughout the greater
part of yesterday. an attack by land on
Santiago. and the Spanish reports say the
garrison lost heavily in killed and wounded.
The military commander of Santiago de
Cuba acknowledges the following casual
ties among the land forces: Colonel Ordonez,
Captain Sanchez, Lieutenant Yrizar, of the
artillery, and Perez and Garcia. both Span
ish officers whose rank is not mentioned.
These officers were severely wounded. The
Spanards also admit the loss of twelve in
fantry soldiers, severity wounded, and say
one soldier was killed. But it is believed
the losses of the Spaniards were much
more heavy
In the naval force the Spaniards say that

the Fifth Infantry, which is distributed
along the Cuff coast. with detail at At
lanta doing guard duty. The mobilization
was completed when the camp of regulars
at Mobile was broken up last week and the
men transferred to Tampa.
Rush orders for ammunition and supplies
for Tampa have been bestirring the activi-
ties OF the Ordnance and Subsistence De-
Iartments in the past few days. Last
Thursday, for instance, imperative demands
were made from army headquarters at
Tampa that coo 000 rounds of ammunition
should be delivered at that point by Sat-
urday night. So promptly was this order at
tended to that the ammunition was taken
from the government arsenal at Governor
island Thursday afternoon and delivered
at Tampa within the time prescribed, going
faster than the mails. AT the same time a
ward on the same hurry schedule. These
are incidents in the proceedings of the last
few days which indicate an accession OF
haste at the front since General Miles
reached there
Another indication of the approach of the
long-deferred forward movement is the
chartering by the War Department of new
transports, after 1t had announced that 1t
had all it would need for the Cuban inya-
sion. That was when the transports were
expected to be called on merely to transport
some 20,0G0 or $1,000 men directly across the
gulf to the north coast of Cuba Now that
Porto Rico is to be occupied and an army
landed to. assist in the capture Of Santiago,
Il is found that more ships will be needed
to supplement the fleet of thirty already Sc

THE FORTS IN RUINS.
Knocked to Pieces by the Big Guns
of the American Fleet.

NEW YORK, June IA special from
Cape Haitien, describing the bombardment
of Santiago de Cuba on Monday, says that
the forts about the harbor are now a mass
of ruins. The Moro is shapeless pile of
ruined masonry and dsma ntled guns, and
the Estrela battery is utterly ruined. This
result the dispatch says, was the work of
ten American ironclads which passed back
and forth from Fort Cabrera on the west
to Fort Aguedores on the east of the harbor
entrance, discharging their heavy guns as
they steamed along, so that scarcely yard
of the coast escaped the deadly cannonad
ing. At Port AgVedores the forts recently
constructed by Colonel Oridonez, the ia
nous artillery expert, were blown to dust,
and Colonel Ordonez himself was badly
wounded bv the flying debris. Captain
Sanchez and Lieutenant YriZar, artillery Of
ficers, were also wounded. Two infantry
lieutenants, Garcia and Perez, and twenty
one privates are reported fatally wounded.
Later in the day the American ships
moved closer toward the mouth Of the har-
bor where the old cruiser Reina Mercedes
had been dscerned attempting to place ex-
plosives about the hull of the Merrimac to
blow her to pieces and clear the channel.
A 13-inch shell from the Oregon landed
SQudF6ly dDd1I n6T pllOL mouse ana tore all
her upper works to shreds. Her second
commodore" five of her sailors and ma
rine were killed. A second lieutenant of the
Reina Mercedes and sixteen of her seamen
were very seriously wounded. A perfect
shower of shell and shot fell upon and
around the old cruiser and she was 50 badly
damaged that her crew. by order of Admiral
Cervera, abandoned her and sought the
shore for safety.
About noon, according to the Cape Haitien
dispatch, a landing party of American ma
rines. near Daiquiri. was attacked by Span
ish infantry and a squad of cavalry. The
insurgents were posted in the neighborhood,
and with the aid of the marines successfully
took up a position, holding it, and later
making it base from which they operated.
The Spanish force was defeated with heavy
loss and driven back toward Santiago, leav-
ing their wounded behind them. The Amer
leans are now entrenched near Daiquiri, and
are landing heavy guns, preparatory TO
moving them towards Santiago and laying
siege TO the city.
There is a panic at Santiago. The resi-
dents who can leave are fleeing to the coun-
try. joining the insurgents or doing any
thing to get away from the certain destruc-
ton that now awaits Cervera's fleet and the
forces of Pando and Lnares.

the partly dismantled Spanish cruiser Reina

were killed. The Spanish sailors wounded. it

say, is not known
The Spaniards acknowledge that a great

Castle shows great, gaping breaches in its
walls.
Later in the. day, it appears, landing of
American troops was effected near Daiquiri,
some distance east of Aguedores, and near
the railroad station connecting with Santi-
ago. Later an engagement took place be-
tween the American force and column of
Spanish troops which had been sent against
the landing party. The accounts of the bat
tie obtainable here, being from Spanish
sources, do not set forth the result and,
therefore. it is to be inferred that the Amer
leans were victorious and that is the belief
which prevails here
There is report current at Cape Hatien
that the first-cass armored Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa was sunk by the fire of the
American ships
1t is said only five hundred American
troops were landed at Daiquiri, or possibly,
at Aguedores, the two places being, SEEM
ingly, confused in the reports received here.
1t seems to be admitted that the fire of the
American soldiers was so effective that the
Spaniards were compelled to flee from the
Notifications they were defending.

revolutionary attempt headed by Jimines
and Morales. Commodore Janzen landed to
receive the report of the Dominican consul
on the illegal shipment of men from this
point by the two leaders to participate in
the landing at Monte Cristi. The war ships
left Monte Cristi at IL o'clock this morning.
A rumor is current here that after they
left President HeurreuaX was made a
prisoner in a new uprising and was shot.
The report has it that Joaquin Taveras,
lieutenant commander at Monte Cristi under
Governor Galito, led the new movement.
The story is not believed here, although no
explicit reply is forthcoming from Monte
Cristi to cabled inquiries. 1t appears that
General Jimines was transferred from the
Fanita, on which he escaped from Monte
Cristi, to another steamer before landing at
Great Inagua, and it is reported he was re-
leased on $1,000 bail. The Fanita did not
venture within the jurisdiction of the ISL
and authorities on her return voyage.

cable between Santiago de Cuba and Haiti
had not been working since midnight of last
night. If such is the case General Blanco

English cables running south from Cuba
to Jamaica is still in operation although
the officials find considerable difficulty in
obtaining information regarding the work.
ing of these cables. The difficulty of cutting
off the Spanish from their home govern
ment has demonstrated the necessity for
the government ownership of a cable vessel
and General Greedy. chief signal officer of
the army, in speaking about the matter to-
day said he hoped that hereafter the
United States would own such ship,
whether the country was at peace or at
war One could easily be purchased for
$500 900, he said, and if the signal service
had had such ship at its command at the
beginning of the war Cuba would have

Naval Cadets win view the War.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Navy De-
partment has decided to give the naval ca
diets at Annapolis an opportunity to see
real warfare by taking assignments on the
war ships in lieu of the customary vaca-
ton. AS a result about half of the second
class men and quite a number of the third
class men have been assigned to duty On
the Indiana, New York, Iowa and other
ships in West Indian waters. The assign
ments are not general. applying to an en-
tire class, but are entirely elective by the
cadets themselves. They are showing much
eagerness for the service, as disclosed by
the large number of applications thus far
made The department has approved the
sonal or family objection was raised The
assignments are made to the larger ships,
as they afford the best accommodation,
the smaller gunboats and auxiliary craft
not having the room for extra men. The
cadets will be made useful mainly as signal
officers.
