THE BOASTFUL SPANIARDS.
Their Report to Havana of the Fight
Ing Around Santiago.

Ing Around Santiago.
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
HAVANA. July 13-The following is the
Spanish account of the fighting at Santa
go:
'Advices from Santiago de Cuba indicate
that at o'clock yesterday morning July
ID the following American boats Were be-
fore that city, the New York, Texas,
Brooklyn, Indiana, one monitor and eight
cen transatlantic steamers, the latter
standing off in the vicinity of Sboney.
THE Americans began the attack on the
city of Santiago with light musketry fire
and some cannon At o'clock the fleet
began bombarding the city, and the heavy
batteries attached to the American land
forces opened fire.
The last dispatch received last night
from Santiago said that the Spanish troops,
Notwithstanding the fierce attack on the
city, continued firm and enthusiastic, and
stood resolutely at their positions with in
creasing determinatio to resist and repel
the enemy No citizen of Santiago was in
jured. Among the Spanish forces one SOL
dier was killed. and one officer and fifteen
soldiers were wounded.
THE local papers of Havana publish
long editorials extolling Spanish heroism
at the siege of Corona. Saragossa, Bilboa
and Havana. and exciting the enthusiasm
and patriotism of the people urging them
to initiate the glorious achievements of
their ancestors. The Union Constitutional
says, concerning the siege of Santiago de
Cuba that that city has not been taken,
although there are 10000 Americans
against 5000 Spaniards. The Americans
have not advanced their positions percep-
tibly, nor have they dared to come forth
;x[& rln
fully resisted their first attack. While we
are awaiting news about this great enter
prise in which our heroic soldiers are en-
gagged after all it does not matter what
may result, for they may be relied upon
always to take good care for that which in
all of these cases is still most important,
namely the flags honor.

ton of war indemnity, but a solution of
this may perhaps be found in a proposal
from a syndicate of American and English
bankers to repay the United States its war
expenses in twenty annuities, taking in re-
turn the tobacco monopoly and the railway
concessions in Cuba and the Philippine ISL
ands. 1t is rumored that if Spain will sur
render Santiago without further bloodshed
President Mckinley, in order to facilitate
peace, may abandon the attack Porto
Rico. If the pending peace negotiations
succeed the queen regent will appoint
Moret cabinet to sign the articles of peace.
The Star adds that at the last moment it
learns that Spain has expressed its readi-
ness to cede to Germany the Vizayas ISL
ands, Samar, Leyt, Mindora and Paragua,
provided Germany will guarantee to Spain
possession of Mindanao and the Carolines,
in which case Spain will abandon Luzon to
the United States

of the Metropolitan Railway Company
was held this afternoon at the office of the

vious year in its history. 1t was stated
that the receipts for the year were be-

S,0U0000 passengers had been carried, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 more than last
year.

yer, president; A b. Grunwell vice presi-
dent; Nathaniel Wilson, w. B. Gurley S.
i. Brown, John Cammack, John Joy Ed

one of the Commissioners remarked today
If anyone should make application for the
place before the dead chief is buried such

today that Mr.. w. c. Haskell, the District
sealer of weights and measures, intends
TO make d strong bid for the place and
that he had called upon the president yes

The preparation of the test cases which
1t Is proposed by the Telephone Subscrib-
ers' Association to bring in order to de-
ternine whether the telephone company is
to carry on business in accordance with
the terms of the law enacted at the session
of Congress just closed is being pushed
forward with as much rapidity as possi-
bic. In talking with a Star reporter to-
day, Messrs. Birney and Woodard, the at
torneys of the association, said there SEEM
ed to be some misrepresentation in the minds
of the members of the association in regard
to the meaning Of clause in the circular
recently issued by the association
Many of the MEMBERS said the attor-
neys, ARE paying the bills for the quarter
under protest, whether their contracts have
expired or not The circular. on the con-
trary, advised that in cases where the con-
tracts have expired, or are about to expire
the subscribers give ten days notice of the
termination of the contract, as required by
law, and then tender the amount due for
the new quarter, based on the rates of the
new law. If the company refuse the SER
vice or attempts to interfere in any way
with the subscriber, then we propose to
take them at once into court

LAID AWAY TO REST.
Funeral Services Over the Remains
of Admiral Ammcn.


Low requiem mass over the remains of
the late Admiral Daniel Ammen was cele-
brated at St. Paul's Catholic Church this
morning The last words of the hero of
many a naval conflict We're to express the
wish that the rites attending his burial
should be simple, and that no eulogy should
be pronounced over his bier. Accordingly
the services were without ostentation and
in perfect keeping with the life of the
great naval commander, whose modesty
throughout long career was as marked
as was his wonderful activity.
The services at St. Paul's Church We're
held at 10 o'clock the remains having been
taken to that place from the Naval Hospi-
tai accompanied only by the family and
friends of the deceased. Sailors from the
navy yard were the body bearers the hon
orary pallbearers all being intimate friends
of the dead admiral. They were Senator
Morgan of Alabama, Admirals Walker and
Franklin, Chief Engineer Melville, Capt
CrownnShield, Commander Tanner and eX-
Paymaster General LOCKER of the navy and
Major George w. Davis of the army. Be
sides the family of the deceased, there We're
present in the church a large assemblage
of army and navy people to pay their last
tribute of respect. The Loyal Legion was
represented by large number of Members,
wearing the insignia of their order.
The fiower-covered casket containing the
remains of the dead admiral was placed be-
fore the altar of st. Pauls and low requiem
mass was celebrated by Father Mackin.
The choir was composed of priests and
students from ST. Charles Academy of Bal
timore, Md. At the conclusion of the SER
vice the cortege proceeded to Arlington,
where the remains We're inferred in the
national cemetery. A detachment of ma
rines from the navy yard were there and
fired a volley over the last resting place
of the dead, while a bugler standing at the
head of the grave sounded taps.

SEEN FROM THE NEw-sYORK.
Description of the Fight in the
Squadron Bulletin

A copy of the Squadron Bulletin, which
is published every day or 50 on the flagship
New York, has been received here and
gives the following account of the naval
fight at Santiago. under date Of July 3:
This is a red-letter day for the American
navy, as dating the entire destruction of
Admiral Cerveras formidable fleet, con-
sisting of the Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizca-
va Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and the deep
sea torpedo boats, F'uror and Pluton. The
flagship had started fTom her station
about . o'clock 10 go to- Siboney, whence
the admiral had proposed going for con-
sultaton with General Shafter. When
about Il mile from the bay the Spanish fleet
was observed coming out and making
westward. The flagship at once put about
to rejoin. The exit was remarkably sud
den and the pace sustained by the enemy
was such that the flagship was more of
spectator than an actual participant, nav
ing an opportunity of firing only at one OF
the torpedo boat destroyers. Though at no
time close enough to fire on the larger
ships. there IA fine view of the success
sive steps of the victory anSan opportuni-
ty of forming one in the long and success
full chase after the CriStobal Colon
1T is. of course. much to be regretted
that we were not able to save anything out
of the general wreck. All but the Girls
tobal Colon were total wrecks early in the
action. being fired by shells, run ashore
and blown up burned The Cristobal
Colon was chased about sixty miles until
l pm. The Oregon, Brooklyn, Texas,
Vixen and New York took part in the or
der named, but toward the last the Brook
lyn drew somewhat ahead and finally
brought the Colon to bay, when she was
run ashore and surrendered When board
ed her bow was in eight feet and her stern
in seventy feet of water. There was con-
siderable quantity of water in the engine
room. Officers and men were sent from the
Oregon to take charge of her, but she
gradually sank, chiefly from all her sea-
cocks having been opened, which our peo-
pie We're not able to get at 1t is probable
that we may be able to raise her. At least
