Rain of Death From the Oregon.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, July 13.-Some
idea of the awful rain of shells poured
into the doomed Spanish squadron on
the morning of July by the pursuing
American warships may be gained
from the number of shots fired from
battleship Oregon. This number also
bears out the statement of the Spanish
officers that it was the fire from the
secondary batteries that drove their
men from their guns and forced
the ships to beach. From the
time when Private O'Shay, of
the battleship Oregon, fired the
first shot from her forward 6-pounder,
until the Cristobal Colon turned to-
ward the shore, the Oregon fired 1,776
shells. OF the 1,67O were from her g.
Founders. The big 13-inch guns were
fired thirty-four times, the S-inch guns
twenty-eight times and the 6-inch
twenty-four times. The one-pounders
were fired twenty times. The destruc-
ton caused by some c the shots was
fearful. One s-inch sell, which pene-
trated the turret of the Almirante
Oquendo exploded and killed every
person inside, blowing some to pieces.

REFUSE TO SURRENDER.
Spanish General Again Refuses Skaters
Demands.


PLAYA DEL ESTE. July l2.-This
morning General Toral sent out re-
ply to General Skaters second demand
for the unconditional surrender of
Santiago, made by the latter yesterday
afternoon. In his reply, General Toral
referred to his refusal to accede to the
American demand made on Sunday,
and again reiterated his determination
10 resist. Notwithstanding this, the
American batteries did not open fire
this morning, and the renewal of the
bombardment will probably be post
poned until Wednesday, when it is
hoped that all of General Randolph's
batteries will be in position. The
siege guns landed yesterday will also
be brought up as soon as possible.
Torrents of rain fell last night drown
ing out the boys in the trenches and
making the road almost impossible.
This may delay the batteries and seige
guns. The volunteers who are being
hurried on to the front are being loca-
ted along the right center in the posi-
tions which have been occupied by Gen.
Lawton's division, while the latter was
moved forward, extending our right
until it almost touches the road to Cal
names. over which General Toral will
have to retreat if he should now be
foolhardy enough to make the attempt.
The Cubans under General Calixto
Garcia took CaimaneS without oppOsi-
ton Monday night and have entrench-
ments on either side of the road. The
Americans are now in position to strike
the enemy on the left flank and roll it
up, making the Spanish entertainments
north of the city untenable.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, July IA, 2 p. m.-
General Toral, commanding the Span
ish forces in Santiago de Cuba, this
morning sent a communication to
General Shafter, indicating his will
ingness to accept the terms of sur
render proposed yesterday, and asking
the American commander to appoint
commissioners to meet the Spanish
commissioners to arrange to send the
Spanish troops back to Spain. This
will be promptly Gone. The surren-
der of General Toral means not only
the fall of Santiago, but by the terms

Have just returned from interview
