regard II as cause of war. The con-

tirely different when this resolution was
passed by the senate. Mr.. Morgan said
that 1t might almost at any time previous

measure, and Spain would have had no
right TO take offense al the United States

New York, June Robert Dyas, a
young man twenty-five years old. of good
family and popular in Brooklyn society.
was remanded at Jefferson Market Police
Court this morning on a charge of grand
larceny. He had stolen and disposed of
jewelry to the value of $500. Young
Dyas lived with his parents at No. 15i
Carroll Street, Brooklyn. He has made
full confession.
Dyas is a college graduate and has been
a student in the office of Evarts, Choate
& Beaman. According to his confession.
a package was left by a client of the firm
in charge of TreadweiI Cleveland. one of
the firm, together with a letter of credit
for $4,000 The client sailed for Europe
the following day
Dyas appropriated the package. and.
upon opening it, found that it contained
diamonds, rubies. emeraIds and fine jew
elry to the value of s. $50. This Dyas
began 10 Systematically pawn. Cleveland
knew nothing of the jewelry. did not get
the letter and so no investigation was
made.
All but $500 worth of the jeweIry had
been pawned before inquiries were made
at police headquarters for the missing
jewelry.
Detectives Arfpin and Berkely. of the
Central Office, were put on the case. A
gold locket set with an emerald and
valued at 500 was found in a Harlem
pawn shop.
In his confession to Chief McCIuskey
Dyas gave a list of the pawn shops where
he had taken the booty, and after infinite
trouble all of the pawned articles were
recovered.
Suspicion was first drawn to Dyas by
his extravagant habits. He played the
races. carried a great deal of money
about him. and was lavish in his expen-
ditures. AS this was not warranted by
his modest salary, the detectives further
learned that the suspected man visited
pawn shops regularly. After this the rest
was cary.
Dyas is a handsome, dark-haIred fellaw
of evident refinement He was held at
police headquarters.

A REPORT FROM SANTIAGO.
Spanish Losses Slight, But Ameri-
cans Badly Damaged.

Cape Haitien, June THE following
dispatch has been received from Santiago
de Cuba:
1.-The American fleet began the second
bombardment of the defenses here at 7:45
O'Clock yesterday morning and the firing
did not cease until 1920. 1t is estimated
that about 1.5OO shots at least were fired
by the American warships that took part
in the engagement.
"The other ships of Admiral Simpsons
fleet maintained heavy fire east OF
Aguadores and Daiquiri.
THE ships at the entrance of the har-
Dor directed their fire against the Morro
and the batteries at Cinco Reales, Punta
Gorda and La Socapa. It is supposed that
the object of the entire movement was
to cover the landing of troops. This is
pretty certain to have been the case at
Aguadores and Daiquiri. The intention
of the Americans was to put a force of
men ashore there where they were to
form junction with the insurgents.
''The men, according to report, were
landed but were repulsed by a Spanish
force. The insurgents were dispersed.
! Some damage was inflicted on the bat
teries and forts at the mouth of the har-
Dor and a number of badly aimed shells
from the American warshps fell in the
city, but did no damage. The American
ships were apparently badly damaged,
several of them retiring completely Grip

is believed that the Americans suffered

THE old cruiser Reina Mercedes, which
was moored near the mouth of the har-
Dor, was damaged by the American fire.
Her second commodore was killed as were
also an ensign and five sailors They all
met their deaths from the explosion OF
shell. Altogether sixteen sailors were
killed.
The dispatch adds that a further at
tack by the Americans IS shortly expected
but the military and naval officers are
confident OF their ability TO resist success
fully any force that the Americans can
bring against them.
THE artillery on shore used at great
distance against the Spaniards was ope-
rated by the insurgents. It is is known
that about 5000 insurgents are in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Santiago.
Several expeditions have landed lately,
carrying arms and equipments 10 them.
The insurgents here are all we'll armed
now with Springfield rifles. and several
pieces of light artillery were sent TO them
recently.
There has been no general landing OF
United States troops at or near Santiago,
but small expedition which sailed from
Tampa ten days ago, carried the pieces
of field artillery. and a few men were
landed with the artillery to assist the in
surgents in its use"
