DIRECT FROM SAMPSON.
Conf1rmalory OF the Earlier Associated
Press Dispatches.

Washington, June 7.-Shortly after
7 o'clock this evening Information con-
firmatory of the Associated Press dis
patches concerning the bombardment
of the Notifications of Santiago reached
the navy department. 1t came in the
form of cablegram from Admiral
Sampson, which was made public in
the following bulletin:
ITO the Secretary of the Navy:
81 bombarded the forts at Santiago
from 7:3O to 10 a. m. today, June g.
Silenced the works quickly without
receiving injury of any kind. though
within 1000 yards. SAMPSON" =
Officials of the Lazy department de-
clined to say definitely whether the
bulletin contained all the information
given in Admiral SIMPSONS cable
gram There is reason to believe that
it did not. Officials refused to discuss
the subject or to vouchsafe further in
formation than was posted on the bill
board.

be isolated. He would be unable to
communicate with Spain, unable to
fight and in position where he would
have to surrender if Spain did not ask
for peace before he knew the time had
arrived to surrender.
Spain is each day said to be more
desirous of peace. Europe each day
forces her to her knees and the blows
now planned would, it is said, be a
clean knockout. The president hopes
that peace will follow the stirring
events referred to, and tnat explains
his desire to push forward in the cam
paign.
II has long been known that the
president is anxious to avoid putting
American troops in the Cuban pest
hole if it can be done. He is willing
that they shall fight. but he shuns the
horrors of an army being slaughtered
by disease. The programme outlined
ought, he thinks, prevent the proba-
bilities foreshadowed by securing a
bloodless victory over the martial
Blanco.
The loss in battle by the campaign
against Porto Rico and Santiago will
be minimized because of the small
number of Spanish troops to operate
against as compared with the number
in and around Havana.
BY the time these things are carried
out the Philippines will belong TO
Uncle Sam and the stripping of Spain
will be so complete, it is argued, that
she will relinquish Cuba and Havana
without fight on the western end OF
the island.

ATTACK ON SANTIAGO.
The Batteries at the Entrance OF the
Harbor Demolished.

copyrighted 1898 by the Associated
Press.)
Cape Haytien, June 7.-Fighting be-
fore and in the vicinity of Santiago de
Cuba continued the greater part OF
yesterday. From 7:45 a. m. until
nearly II o'clock ten of the American
warships maintained a steady and
carefully directed fire against Moro
castle and the batteries at Punta
Gorda, Socapa and Ciencoreales, in ad-
dit1on to bombarding the Spanish fleet
in the harbor.
The percentage of effective project
lies was very great. 1t appears from
the best information obtainable at
this place, a cable station connecting
with Santiago de Cuba, that immense
damage was inflicted upon the enemy.
The Spaniards admit that the bonn
bardment from the American fleet was
most destructive. About 1000 pro-
jectiles are said to have been fired by
the American warships and it seems
that the responsive fire from the Span
ish forts and ships was scarcely felt
by the Americans. The Notifications
near the entrance of the harbor are de-
soribed as being riddled with solid
shot and battered by the explosion of
immense shells fired by the battleships
It is also understood that the Cuban
troops maintained throughout the
greater part of yesterday an attack by
land upon Santiago, and the Spanish
reports say the garrison lost heavily
in killed and wounded. The military
commander at Santiago de Cuba ac-
knowledged the following casualties
among their forces: Col. Ordonez
Captain Sanchez, Lieutenant Yrizas oi
the artillery, and Perez Garcia, both
Spanish officers whose rank is not
mentioned.
Later in the day the American ship:
moved closer toward the mouth of the
harbor where the old cruiser Reins
Mercedes had been discerned attempt

FUTURE POLICY.
Future Political Policies of Parties
Now Coming in View.

Washington, June 7.-Among the
leading men of both houses of con-
gress it is apparent that great deal
Of attention is being given to the ques-
ton of the larger policies which are to
be followed at the conclusion of the
war. With overlapping vision they
are trying to discern that which they
expect to have to deal with in the near
future, anticipating that war branches
of the government are proceeding on
lines which will not leave much time
for the consideration of the peace pol
icy to follow. In this circle of con-
gressional leaders very serious atten-
ton is being given to the question Of
holding Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, and there are wide differences
of opinion, not marked on party lines,
on the subject. Indications are strong
that this question will become an issue
