Washington, July 2.-The canine. Mas

sion was mainly occupied with uis
cussion of the news from oaht'aso.
General Skaters dispatch was reao
aloud before the members Of the eap'-
net The press dispatches also were
read verbatim to the cabinet. Inere
was a general feeling of gratihcatlon
shown at the cooperation rendered ny
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. Careful plans
TO this end were made In general way
some time ago, though leaving to Samp'
son the widest discretion.
A dispatch was also read in the cab
met from Colonel Allen, In charge OF
the signal station at Playa del Este.
He said that the fight was growing fu-
rious in all directions. At the time ne
sent the telegram eight Americans and
nine Cubans had been wounded. The
Spaniards were Smelling the Americans
as they advanced, and Admiral Samp-
sons fleet was hotly engaged. The dis
match was received by the members OF
the cabinet with much enthusiasm, one
member remarking that the sight must
be inconceivably grand and that he
would very much like to have hand IN
the fight.
Besides the Santiago fight the cabinet
devoted some time to questions con-
nected with the operation Of the war
revenue bill. After the cabinet meeting
Secretary Long said that the fleet un-
der Sampson was cooperating to the
fullest extent with the land forces and
that he expected great results He sug-
gested that there were two conditions
certain in the Santiago situation. "One
u.s." he said. 1--WE will surely win and the
other that 1t will come about after hard
fighting that will tell. OF this we are

possible to say what the effect Of their
fire was.
Before long the battle became general
all along the line. Soon eight Ameri-
cans and nine Cubans were brought
from the front wounded. The resist

advance was now very determined.

SKATER REPORTS.
Tho Capital Aroused by the News That
the Battle of Santiago Has
Begun at Last.

Washington, July 1.-The battle has
begun. This was the startling news con-
veyed In the following brief dispatch re-
ceived from General Shafter today:
Camp, Near Sevilla, Cuba July L.
Action now going on. The firing only
light and desultory. Began on the right
near Caney. Lawton's division. He will
move on the northeast part Of the town
Of Santiago. VIII keep you continually
advised of progress"
Brief als it was, 1t told the whole story
that the first shots of the long expected
crash Of arms, probably che first great
land engagement of the war, was under
way. 1t sent thrill throughout official
circles from the highest to the lowest
Secretary Alger was the first to read It,
He passed 1t to General Corbin adjutant
general of the army, and directed him
to take it at once to the White House.
General Corbin went to the president,
carrying the original dispatch. He was
back shortly, and then bulletin was
posted, giving the dispatch verbatim.
Meantime Secretary Alger remained
at his desk, while the usual train of call
ers pushed their way forward. The sec
rotary preserved his usual outward calm,
hut those near him said the news from
the field had sent the same thrill to the
secretary that prevailed everywhere,
and even more, for there was the per-
sonal consideration that the secretary's
son, young Captain Alger, now on the
staff of General Duffield, was partici
pating in the engagement now on.
The secretary spoke with satisfaction
IF the fact that sufficient time had
elapsed to permit General Shafter to get
his army well concentrated at the front
and thrown out into good battle forma-
ton. The secretary felt that our forces
were on the aggressive and that the fact
that the action was now going on
showed that Shafter had bided his time
and was ready to strike his blow. Word
had come prior to the Shafter dispatch
showing that the artillery which had
been brought to the front was well
placed.
