The bombardment was entirely effective
and was carried out In the most workman
like manner. The shooting of the Amerl-

was greatly better than the attack Of Mon
day week. The batteries on both sides Of
the entrance were slenced after about a
entity deserted BY the garrison, though the
Spanish flag was still flying.
Shortly after the action began a shell
from the Oregon struck magazine In the
Estreiia battery. A terrific explosion fol-

pieces OF wrecked gun carriages rose amid
an enormous cloud of smoke. i distinctly
saw an ammunition case thrown high IN

Esirella battery, the most powerful OF
Santiago defenses. was absolutely silent
after the explosion. The loss OF life In the
vicinity must have been enormous.
The Spanish ships in the harbor came
down behind MORO and opened long
range fire on the bonsbarding feet.
couple OF projectiies fell close to the Iowa
and Oregon. lying directly opposite the
harbor entrance. but none OF the American
ships were hit at all during the action.
The American ships replied vigorously 10
the Spanish vessels and drove them back

nailed the ships TO resume their stations.

occurred on "Wednesday last. ministerial

visited the queen regent to beg her TO give
up the scheme for the present They told
her that under the present circumstances
abdication would seem like flight and
