July II, (s:45 a, m.)-The Brooklyn, Tex

city OF Santiago at 5:l5 this afternoon,
IN obedience to request from General
shafter. conveyed by a signal from the
shore.
The warshlps lined up from east to
west. quarter of a mile from the shore
ana tired over the limestone cliffs that
come down to the sea and hide the city,
ave miles away. The commandment
was continued for one hour.
After thlrty-five shots had been fired
from the eight-lnch guns, Commodore
eoaley became convinced that the
BTOolslyn's fire was falling short, and
ordered cessation, permitting the
battleships to continue, they, with their
larger guns having longer range. The
shots we're fired apparently with great
elaboration and at intervals OF two
minutes. The signals from the shore
announced that the shells Tell 4 thou
sand feet short and little to the left of
the Spanish position. At dusk the
squadron ceased firing and Commodore
AehIey sent launch to the shore to ask
General shafter II he desired firing con-
Nnusd during the night.
When the Associated Press reporter
went aboard the Brooklyn, Commodore
8ahley said he was ignorant of the
purpose OF the bombardment. The As
ISOLATED Press reporter read to him a
JAQSsRge received at Juragua from q

sporIards in Santiago must be cap

department as to the details OF his plans
furlher than was indicated In the dis
patches received from him yesterday
The belief here is that the affair OF yes-
terday was OF little Importance. being
narhaps but a feint on the part OF the
srraniardss to cover the American bat
teries or 10 discover some weak spot
which might be made the point OF at
tack In n sortle when It comes to that.
The officials here do not conceal their
apprehenslon that the enemy may es-
cane from Santiago under cover OF
darkness and are consequently relieved
each day when the dispatches from the
front show that they still occupy the
town.
The President himself was so much
concerned over the possible escape or
the Spanish force that he directed the
sending Of explicit orders 10 General
Shafter TO prevent II at all hazards.
This fact, taken In connection with the
generals dispatches OF yesterday, form
ed the basis Of the opinion expressed at
the war department yesterday that
Skaters attack would not be made I'M
Indefinitely. II was gathered from these
reports that he had not succeeded in
extending his lines clear around the city
and It was feared II he began the attack
before completing the decentralization,
the enemy under the strength OK his at
tack might escape through hte uncov-
cred northwest section and retreat to-
wards Manzani!lo over the road ira

the purpose the reinrOrcements which
