m. bv the Associated Press dispatch

! maica and Kingston Sunday July .. -:'o
D. m.-The fighting on the right of our
line this afternoon developed unexpected
| encounters, and for some hours ainl"Sl
as severe firing as yesterday II rlday)
when General LaWton WAS aSSaultlnG
Iii Caney. The Spanish made an attack
in force on our position, pouring III vol
lev after volley in quick succession and
with remarkable regularity. Our return
fire was certainly effective and continued
| strong. after the Spanish vOlleyS had
become rarer and less heavy. Mean
| while the batteries on Grimes hill kept
booming away at the middle of the enc
my's line, materially aiding the flank
| inc movement. The Smelling from the
Spanish fleet apparently gave our left
hut little concern. At this nour n re
port has just reached here that General
Lawton. aided by fresher regiments,
sent him early in the afternoon, mas
turned the enemy's left and has troops
already in the city where almost 4 hand
to-hand encounter is going oil in the
streets.
The SituatiOn. when tlln Associated
Press correspondent left the front. aS
shown III IN earlier dispatch, was such
that the capture of the city tonight tSat-
urday) would not be surprising. although
General Shafter himself. when the cor
respondent left him three hours ago, did
not expect It.
General Shafter. however. sent word
this afternoon to General CaliNto Gar
cia that the surrender of the city would
not he long delayed.
\ conservative estimate by army men
not officials that our casualties
during yesterdays fighting were nearly.
if not quite a thousand. about fifteen
per cent of which We're deaths.
, To-day's casualties on the American
side were much lower because our troops
had been we'll cntrenched the night be
fore.
