London, July 4.-The Daily News re-
marks "rhe present Fourth of July
will be memorable. Even this seems to

prophecy Captain Mahan made

once began TO busy itself with the af-
fairs of the world it would stretch out
its hands to Great Britain"

Off Santiago de Cuba, July ,, via Port
Antonio. Jamaica. and Kingston, Jamai-
ca, Sunday, July 3-3:45 a. m.-The
men of the flagship New York. were a
pretty tired lot after nine hours fight
ing yesterday, when they turned out at
4 O'clock this morning. a > o'clock the
fleet went to general quarters. The
knowledge that MORO Castle was not
to be spared created much interest anu
the greatest satisfaction among the gun
ners.
Rear Admiral Sampson said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
shortly before the firing commenced:
Gen. Shafter sent me word last night
that the batteries at the south of the
harbor had fired on his troops. / am al
most certain that Gen. Shafter is mis-
taken. as all our information shows that
no guns bear shoreward. However, L
thought il best to- lombard again to-
day 1t will BE- useful and may have a
moral effect that will assist the army.
With the flagship New York leading
the eastern end of the crescent of ships,
the fleet steamed in shore two thousand
yards from Moro until in II position to
enfilade both the eastern batteries.
At 5:46. the firing commenced. The
sea was smooth and Il light breeze was
blowing.
For the first ten minutes the markham
ship of the American gunners was splen-
did, one of the eastern batteries being
50 badly punished that not a shot was
fired from ii during the engagement. \
few small shells from the western bat
teries dropped around the ships, but hit
nothing.
The terrific fusilade of heavy shells
from all the battleships Of the United
States navy silenced the fire from the
shore in short order. One particularly
good shot from the flagship New York
sent a gun on one Of the eastern batter
les flying high into the air and enormous
red clouds of earth and debris rose all
around MORO. The smoke from the ships
drifted from east to west
At $50. the firing had become slower
and more deliberate. The Indiana, Ore
gon and Massachusetts We're signalled
TO go right in front of the harbor to
shell punta Gorda batteries inside, on
the eastern arm. They steamed to
within Il thousand yards of the shore.
The Oregon took shot ut MORO Cas-
tie and down came the Spanish flag. AT
sight of this splendid piece of marks
manship the crews Of the different ships
cheered enthusiastically for several min
utes.
The three battleships then kept up an
iiicessant fire on the Punta Gorda bat
teries, doing great havoc to the FORTH
cations and the works in course of con
struction. Not n shot came from the
enemy.
The other ships contented themselves
by taking occasional shots at Morro
Castle Its ancient battlements were
knocked to pieces and great holes loom
ed up in its parapets.
At 7:25 Admiral Sampson hoisted tho
signal cease firing but it was half al
hour later before the Oregon had fired
her last shot. As the ships returned tf
their blockading stations two futile shots
were fired at them from five inch RAPID
firing guns on one of the western bat
ferries.

ENEMY FOUGHT HEROICALLY.
Gen. Vara De Roy Commanding at lei
Canpy Especially Commended.

Madrid, July So p. m.-The govern
ment has received cipher dispatches from
Cuba, the contents of which have not
been made public. 1t is stated, however,
that the Spaniards offered heroic resist
ance to the American forces which made
an attack upon the Spanish outer posi-
tions at Santiago. General Nara De Roy,
who commanded at Caney, fought with
the greatest courage, setting his men an
example by leading the advance.
1t was under similar conditions that
General Linares was wounded.
According to official dispatches re-
ceived the Spanish troops fell back upon
the city of Santiago in order to await
reinforcements.
The dispatches do not mention the
death of General Vara De Roy, which,
it is rumored, has occurred.

SENATE FORECAST.
Hawaii Question VIII Necessitate a SEES
sion To-day

Washington. July 3.-The Senate will
be in session on the Fourth of July, an
unusual sitting, but deemed necessary
by the friends of the Hawaiian anneXa-
ton resolution. 1t is probable that the
week will be consumed in the discussion
of the resolution unless Il vote is reached
near the middle of the week, which some
of the Senators hope will be the case.
No other business will be considered
that leads to any extended debate until
there is n vote on the Hawaiian resolu-
tons. OF course. any war legislation
which might be necessary would be con
sidered, but there is no expectation OF
any emergency demands.
HOUSE FORECAST.
Washington, July 3.-The House will
not be in session tomorrow, adjourn
ment having been taken until Tuesday.
There is no definite programme for the
week. The conference report upon the
Deficiency bill will be considered Tues
day and it may provoke considerable de-
bate. The Naval Affairs Committee has
a number of bills which it desires to
bring up and u day may he given it.
The naval personnel measure is the most
important. If it can be reached under
call of committees an effort will be made
to take up the anti-scaping bill. The
bill to incorporate the lnternationa
American Bank, will follow the Dehcien-
CIV bill, conference report and continue
before the House until disposed of.
