.KOKOMO, Ind. July 2.-Professor Leland,
superintendent of the Chicago natural gas
pipe line pumping station, in this county,
superintended the placing of the guns on
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. that is just
now the terror of the Spanish nation. Prof.
Leland spent a year aboard the Vesuvius
after it was fitted with its destructive arma-
ment and knows all about it's powers. At
the time he was in the employ of the Con-
necticut Construction Company the Vesuvi-
US was built ana he also visited England
with a view of explaining the workings 10
the British Admiralty Board. Professor Lee
land, in speaking of the terrible engine of
destructiveness to-day, said: THE Vesuvius
has been given little opportunity to demon
strate her power At Santiago she has. up to
this time, made use of but comparatively
low-grade explosives. 1t is when she hurls
nitrogelatine bombs of the larger kind that
people within a score of miles think the
end Of the world is at hand. AS a destruc-
tive agent the Vesuvius has no equal and
its work will surprise the world when given
an opportunity to show it's power

NO STANDARDS IN THE PITS.
At 1870 General Duffield signaled that his
scouts reported that no damage had been
done to the Spanish rifle pits by the shells
from the ships and Admiral Sampson told
him they had been hit several times, but
that there was no one in the pits. How
ever. the Suwanee was ordered to fire a
few more shots in their direction.
At 1918 p. m the New York, having dis
continued firing at Aguadores. commenced
firing eight-inch shells clear over the gully
into the city of Santiago de Cuba. Every
five minutes the shells went soaring over
the hillside. What destruction they wrought
it was impossible to tell, as the bluffs hid
everything.
In reply to General Dufields question
What is the news?" Admiral Sampson re-
piled There is not a Spaniard left in the
rifle pits
Later General Duffield signaled that his
scouts thought reinforcements were march
ing TO the battered old fort, and Admiral
Sampson wig-wagged him There is no
Spaniards left there. If any come the Glou-
cester will take care of them
A little later the Oregon joined the New
York in sending eight-inch shells into the
city of Santiago. This was kept up until

so was signaled and she blazed away,

THE PLATEAU, opposite Santiago, Fri
day, July l. GAS a. M, by the Associated
Press dispatch boat Dandy, via Port An
tonic Saturday, July q a. M, via Kings
ton, ii 80 a. m.--The battle of Santiago was
going on before daylight this morning. A
plateau thirty by one hundred yards in ex-
tent was occupied by Captain Grimess bat
terry. At o'clock the men were busy dig
ging platforms for four thirteen FOUNDERS
and 32-caliber guns. A semi-circular valley
of great depth interviewed between thu
plateau and Santiago, which was fully ex-
posed on the ridge opposite. 270O yards
away. The hospitals were flying Red Cross
flags and men were seen massed before the
barracks. From Santiago the ridge slopes
northwards, ending virtually at a large
hacienda called San Juan. Outside the viii
lage of Caney along this ridge earthworks
and rife pits were visible
The order of battle was as follows: First
and Tenth Cavalry of the Second Brigade;
Third and Sixth Cavalry and one squadron
of the Ninth Cavalry, of the First Brigade,
and the First United States Volunteer
Cavalry Rough Riders, of the Second &ri-
gade, massed the left of the platea-k
Four guns held the plateau. General Gar
cia, with four thousand Cubans, was down
in the valley In front of the plateau. Gen.
Kents division formed the left wing and
General Lawtons the right with the cav
airy detailed as above, all dismounted, and
the Cubans forming the center.
The order of advance was in a ''V'' shape,
the arms of the ''V'' facing nearly to the
northeast and southwest, the idea being to
advance in this formation, clearing the val
ley and ridges towards the north and then
sweeping round, still in 'V'' formation and
attacking Santiago from the northeast.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE dispatches
from the scene of war in Cuba to-day were
meager. The executive of the Nation, like
everybody else, was a prey to the keenest
anxieties and could only indulge in specu-
lation. He had no means of knowing wheth-
err Sampson had been able to get at the
bottled-up Spanish fleet or whether the enc
my's ships were left free for another day
to kill and MAIN our defenseless soldiers
with their murderous guns. Absence of
mention of the admiral furnishes excuse for
the frequently expressed thought that he
had not been able to force an entrance to
the harbor and therefore could not Coop
crate with the land forces according to the
plan Of battle previously agreed on. Such
an unhappy contingency would leave Cen
eral Shafter to fight, alone and unaided,
not only an equal, if not superior force be-
hind intrenchments. but also to take awful
punishment from the long-range guns on
the enemy's fleet. Such consequence was
not calculated on when the "bottling up
was done.
Neither had Manila good tidings to send

but Hong Kong wired fears that the first
American expedition to the relief of the
heroic commander had been overtaken by a
monsoon and gone to the bottom.
London and Berlin dispatches noted as a
positive fact that Russia, France and Ger
many had formed an alliance to take a
hand in the adjustment of the Philippine
question as soon as we had finished with
Spain. Altogether # was a trying and an
anxious day at the White House.
Until late hour tonight the President.
surrounded by half a score and more of his
personal friends and official advisers. were
in council awaiting reports from Santiago
and discussing the perplexing features of
the situation.

SPANIARDS AT SANTIAGO.
Consul Hyatt Does Not Think the En-
envy Exceeds $3.50 in Number.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
KEY WEST, Fla, July 2.-Mr. Pulaski
F. Hyatt, now and for over five years past
American consul at Santiago de Cuba, who,
during his residence in that city, kept him
self thoroughly posted as to the movements
Of Spanish troops in eastern Cuba, in the
course of an interview, said: LAS the first
war scare was in the direction of Havana
it is not probable that Spanish forces were
moved eastward. Therefore l assume that
General Shafter will not have to face any
troops not in Santiago province when the
war began. On April / l made a most careful
estimate of the Spanish forces in that prov
nce. According to the most reliable source,
there were under General Linares ALSO men,
as follows: At Santiago, 1000; at Palma
Sorrano and vicinity 1900; guarding Salian-
lila and Murete railroads, 300; guarding Ju-
ragua Railroad, $50; at Juragua mines, 25O,
and at Baiquiri, $50. AT Holguin and vicin-
ity there were about 5000 men; at Guam
tanamo and Caimanera there were about
$500, of whom probably 1900 remain in that
neighborhood. At Baracoa and vicinity
there were about 800 men that may or may
not have gone to Santiago. This consti-
tutes ali the Spanish force in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, except those under
Gen. Fanuo IN Cduto, ManZdnlllc and the
Bayamo district. This body in November
and December last, numbered 1890 but
from 5000 to 1900 of these were always sick
in hospital and many died or became un-
available for service, so that not over 10, coo
men can possibly be left. Leave 1900 of
these to guard Manzanllo and give 5000 to
the forces operating against General Shat
ter. and the total number of men by whom
he is confronted will be $3.50. 1t is a num-
Der which l do not believe has been aug
mented by impressment more than it has
been decreased by sickness, death or other
causes. l take no stock whatever in the
reports that the Spanish forces at Santiago
are larger than the figures 1 have just
given

from Guantanamo effected a meeting at

Comments of London Weeklies

doubts that there will be an American VIC
tory at Santiago de Cuba. The Spectator,
however, sees evidences suggesting that
General Linares does not intend to fight
with his back to the wall. The Spectator
believes that he will blow Up the squadron,
abandon Santiago and begin guerrilla
warfare.
The weeklies concur also in the opinion
that Admiral Camara will be too late to
save the Philippines. The Speaker thinks the
dispatch OF an American squadron to the
coast of Spain may arouse enthusiasm in
Spain, but that this is not likely to continue
when q bombardment is once begun.
