Skaters Fighting Force.

Washington, July IL. - General
Skaters available force, after counting
all reinforcements and deducting the
dead and sick and wounded, is %, $50
fighting men, according to military es-
Inmates. This Is based on an estimate
of 10000 men in General Shafter' s
original expedition and about 10000
in various expeditions which have gone
since then, making in all 10000.
Against this must be deducted the
casualties in the fighting thus far and
also the men confined to the hospitals
by sickness. The deduction is roughly
estimated. at 5000 men, leaving about
23, 900 available today as the fighting
force of the American army. The rein
forcements having gone forward from
time to time, it has been rather diff
cult to keep track of them, but they are
summed up as follows:
General Duffield's brigade, about 2.
500 men; recruits for regular army,
$50; First Illinois, $50; First District
of Columbia, $50; six light batteries
United States artillery, 700; General
Garretson g brigade. Eighth Ohio, L.
800; Sixth Massachusetts, and Sixth
Illinois, 1900.
Another force of 2,500 men, COM
prising General Ernest's brigade, is
ready to start, and, with this force,
General Skaters fighting strength will
be swelled to about $4,000 men by the
arrivals of this week.

USED THE MAcHETE.
Cubans Showed No Mercy to the Span
ish Prisoners.

CuDanS showed NO Mercy to the Span
ish Prisoners.
Before Santiago, via Kingston, July
11.-One secret of the determination
of the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to
fight to the death was the belief which
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans
would be pu. to the sword.
1t is known that after the fall Of Ell
Gauey July the Spanish soldiers who
escaped along the foothills marched
directly into General Garcia's men,
posted to the north of Santiago. They
fought desperately, but were shown no
mercy by the Cubans, and were ma
cheted to the last man. General Del
rine, who was in command. was bru-
tally mutilated. The knowledge Of
this massacre found its way into Santi-
age and prompted the Spaniards to die
rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender of some of
the wounded Spanish officers and men
has dispelled the -delusion, and is help
ing to induce General Tolal to consider
the proposition to capitulate.
After the fall of Ell Gauey the Gu
bans sacked the town. Information of
the two outrages were promptly sent to
General Shafter, who issued orders
that any Cuban found rifling the bodies
of dead or wounded Spaniards would
be promptly dealt with.
To prevent the possibility of Cubans
plundering Santiago when it capitd-
lates it has been decided to forbid the
Cubans entering the town.
