DISTRESS ON COPPER RIVER.
More Disappointed Prospectors Re
turn From This Region.

Seattle. Wash, July 12-The steamer
George w. Elder, which arrived here
today from southeastern Alaska, ports,
reports that the steamer Del Norte,
which was towing the river steamer
Wisconsin to st. Michael, abandoned
the Wisconsin at Juneau.
The steamer Laurada, which was
towing two river steamers, the Phillip
B. Lowe and Katie Enrich, to the
mouth of the Yukon, was obliged to re-
turn TO Sitka with her lows. Among
the Elders 11S passengers were about
80 from the Copper River country,
nearly all of whom had a tale of woe
relating to the disappointment and
discouragements they had met with.
They say about 600 prospectors are at
an opportunity to return to civiliza-
ton.
On the other hand, many are pushing
on to the Tanana and NinOok districts.
After coaling here, the Elder will go
to Portland.
From letter received today, it would
seem that not many of the hundreds
of prospectorS that have gone to Cop

WORK OF THE BATTERIES.
Dynamite Shell Silenced the Enemy
-Spaniards Surrounded.


Before Santiago de Cuba, July IL
When the fire opened from the Amer
lean lines after the conclusion of the
armistice our men were in better po-
sition. CapronS and Hines batteries
were posted on the left of the line and
! in the rear of Bates line. Hotchkiss,
Calling and dynamite guns occupied a
crest on the right center and on the
extreme right. Bates and Grimes bat
teries were posted in the center of Law
tens division. Our right was strength
ened by the brigade of Kent's division,
the Sixth and Sixteenth regulars and
the SeVenty-first New York, which was
pushed to the westward until, with
Garcia's line. it formed an arc reaching
within quarter of a mile Of Camara,
which shuts in the bays and forts. The
only road by which General Toral could
escape was thus commanded.
Small detached bodies of Spaniards
had been observed slipping out of
town westward early in the morning
including squad of cavalry. A move
was made to cut off their retreat and
a land bombardment began. A shot
from the Grimes battery was followed
by one of Capron's guns on the left
and from the right center the Calling
and Hotchkiss batteries opened fire.
For the first 10 minutes the fighting
was quite general, the Spaniards reply
ing spiritadly, but the fire on both sides
soon waned and from o'clock to $50,
when the action ceased, the firing was
confined almost exclusively to the ar
tillery.
Our batteries soon got the range and
poured shells into the Spanish en-
trenchments. The Hotchkiss battery
swept the outer line of the entrench-
ments back and forth. cutting down the
brush shelters like a scythe. The Span
ish were soon forced to the block house
The Spanish battery on the left of
the town engaged by Capron's batter
les, fired only a few shots, but the bat
terry on the right fired spiritedly until
guncotton shell from Woods dyna-
mite gun exploded directly in front of
1t, tearing up two trees and dismount-
ing the gun. 1t was the last shot of the
afternoon and was greeted with cheers.
Two men in General Kent's division
were killed by a shell and several were
wounded. Sergeant Jefferson and Pri-
vate st. Clair of troop B, Ninth Sav-
airy, were among the wounded
Spanish deserter came to our lines
this afternoon for food. He said: THE
and if we had food and
cigarettes in abundance we would fight
forever"
General Kent recommends the fol-
lowing officers of his division for gal
lantry under fire:
Major Sharp, Major Phil Reade. Cap
tain McAlexander. Lieutenant Cart
wright, Lieutenant Johnson and Volun-
teer Aid-de-camp Monroe, who was
wounded and will be recommended for
a commission.

SHELLS FROM THE FLEET.
Effective Work at q Range of Four
and a Half Miles.


on Aguadores, July Il, p. m.-rhe
United States navy had the problem
presented to it:
What is the best manner of effect
dallY bOmbarding a city distant four
and a half miles and concealed from
view by a range of hills $50 feet high at
its lowest part?"
The problem has been satisfactorily
solved. So. if the army hereafter never
feed a shot and merely guarded the
roads. the navy could make Santiago
unSenable, If indeed it did not destroy
It in a few days.
Sunday and today the sea was calmer
than usual, so the opportunity for good
practice was afforded.
In pursuance of General Skaters re-
quest, Commodore Schley. Rear Ad-
miral Sampson being absent at Guam
tanamo, at O'Clock on Sunday after
noon, arranged the Brooklyn, Indiana
and Texas within 500 yards of the
shore, at a point almost due south of
The city of Santiago, distant a little
over four and a half miles. The ships
were about a mile apart. The army
signal men were on the beach opposite
the ships and also on the crest of hill
overlooking both the ships and the city.
These men wig-wagged the results of
zach shot, telling the gunners if the
shell was aimed too high or too low,
or not in line.
Sundays practice was good, but it
was better today, when the firing was
opened by the New York. which return
ed from Guantanamo during the night.
The Now York. Brooklyn and Indiana
were the ships which participated in
the Smelling this morning. Each shot
was carefully calculated and the wig
wag signaled from the shore to the
ships where each shell fell, and notified
the gunners if they had the proper ele-
walton.
The ships ran out their big guns on
the side opposite their firing in order
to obtain the desired list to port or to
starhoard
General Shafter signaled about noon
that some of the shells fell in the bay
and some in the city The latter do not |
appear TO do great damage"
Comment on this subject was chang

CARDINAL GIBBONS CIRCULAR.
People to Return Thanks For Ameri-
can Victories.

Baltimore, July 12-Cardinal Gibbons
has prepared a circular to be read in
the Roman Catholic churches on Sun
day morning, which is intended to car
ry out the suggestion made by Presi-
dent Mckinley that the people of the
land unite in giving thanks for the vic
tory of the American fleet off San
tiago.
The cardinals letter calls upon the
people to return thanks to Almighty
God for his blessings upon the arms of
this land in the conflict with the Span
ish fleet, for the victory achieved and
for the escape of the Americans with
comparatively no loss.
The circular further asks that pray
ers be said for an early and bloodless
end to the war.
The cardinal also directs in his letter
that certain prayers be said by the
clergy at this service for the blessings
of God

IRENE. The ordinary avocations on
shipboard went on, punctuated at in

The effect of the shells when they did
hit can easily be imagined, when it
is known that each of them carries $50
pounds oe explosives and travels 925
feet per second. Whenever a missile
lands at the distance of two and a
half miles from the muZZle to the city
it occupies 22N seconds in it's flight
-Four shells during the bcmbardment
today ignited fires in different parts of
the city, proving the feasibility of burn
ing the place by using the guns of the
feet alone.
Death must have come to many in the
city by reason of the Smelling.

city, which is difficult to see from the
American lines. 1t is impossible 60 say
what effect they had. Several burst
in the center of the town with very
great effect. One shell, of whose ac-
ton a good view was had from San
Juan hill. burst in small street. When
the atmosphere cleared it seemed as if
the entire street had been blown out of
existence. A large hole was torn in
the. ground and many buildings were
demolished. If a hundred other shells
could be landed with similar effect they
would destroy Santiago. The war ships
fired only, for short time.

Before Santiago, via Playo del Este
Guantanamo Bay, July 12-This morn
ing General Toral sent out a reply to
General Skaters second demand for
the unconditional surrender of Santi-
ago, made by the latter yesterday af-
ternoon
In his reply, General ToraI referred
TO his refusal to accede to the Ameri-
can demand on Sunday and again re-
iterated his determination to resist.
Notwithstanding this, the American
batteries did not open fire this morning
and the renewal of the bombardment
will probably be postponed until to-
morrow wednesday,, when it is hoped
that all of General Randolphs guns
VIII be in position. The siege guns
landed yesterday will also be brought
up as soon as possible.
Torrents of rain fell last night,
drowning out the boys in the trenches
and making the road almost impassa-
bic. This may delay the batteries and
siege guns. The volunteers who are
being hurried on to the front are be-
ing located along the right center in the
positions which have been occupied by
General LaWton'S division, while the
latter has moved forward down to the
right, until ha controls the road to
Gaines, along which Toral would have
10 retreat. should he now be foolhardy
enough to make the attempt.
The Cubans, under General Calixto
Garcia, took Gaines without opposition
on Monday night, and have entrench-
ments on each side Of the road.
The Americans are now in position
to strike the enemy in left flank and
roll il up, making the Spanish en-
trenchments north of the city unten-
able. General Toral, realizing the weak
ness Of this flank, has been busy during
the existence of the truce in doubling
back with entertainments and fixing his
guns in the direction from which he
is threatened. Most of General Ran
dolph's guns will be located on the
heights, in the center of General Law
tons new position, where they COM
mand the town.
Yesterday afternoon the Capron and
Haines batteries on the right succeeded
in tearing up the emplacements for a
palm" battery, as it is called, but the
shots directed at the Spaniards in the
trenches did not appear 10 have much
effect Shrapnal were rapidly broken
directly over the trenches, yet in five
minutes the trenches at every point OF
explosion would be alive with the en-
envy. They would watch for the
flashes of our guns and drop before the
shells exploded.
Our mortar fire was directed at the
Spanish bull ring ara tore up almost
everything in the vicinity. 1t is Un-
Gerstood the bull ring is being used
as barracks.
Three large steamers lie in the har-
Dor alongside the Philadelphia Iron
company's wharf, ard a small Spanish
gunboat is anchor ed at the head Of the
bay. All these could be plainly seen by
the Associated Press correspondent.
The First Illinois volunteers and the
District of Columbia volunteers are now
located in the trenches that were occu-
pied last week by General Chaffees
brigade.

miles. The Kasagi left her anchorage
off this place at 9 O'Clock this morning
and an hour later was on the course
which ran 20 miles TO the northward and
eastward, from Boone island to Cape
Porpoise and return. The trial was made
in rough water. which tended TO show
the vessels performance in a stronger
light. Another drawback was that strong
tide set in almost at right angles to the
course. The United States government
allows for these conditions, but as the
Kasagi had such a good margin above the
required speed. no attention was paid to
this. The speed on the first leg of the
course was 20 knots, and on the return an
average of 221s knots was made, making
an average speed for the entire run OF
