KILLED ana Wounded,

y M, by the Associated Press Dis
patch Loaf Da1ntless, via Port Anto-
MO aud Kingston, Sunday, July j,
1850 p, m.--l'he lighting on uhe right
OF our line this afternoon developed
unexpected and for some hours al
most as severe firing as yesterday
friday, when General Lauton was
assauting III Uaney,
The Spanish made an attack Ma
force on our position, pouring In vol
10y after yolley In quick succession
and with remarkable regularity. Our
return fire was certainly effective,
and continued strong after the Span
ish vollcys had become rarer and less
heavy. Meanwhile the batteries on
Grimes hill kept booming away ut the
middle OF the enemy's line, materially
aiding the hanking movement The
Smelling from the Spanish fleet was
less active and apparently gave our
left but little concern.
AT this hour report has just
reached here THAT General Lawton,
aided by fresher regiments, sent him
early In the afternoon, has turned the
encmy's left and has troops already
In the city, where utmost a hand-to-
hand encounter Is going on In the
streets.
The situation when the Associated
Press correspondent left the front, US
shown In an earlier dispatch, was
such that the capture OF the city to-
night Saturday would not be SUR
Prisng although General Shafter
himself, when the correspondent left
him three hours ago, did not ex-
poct Il.
General Shafter, however, sent
word this afternoon to General Cal
ixto Garcia that the surrender OF the
city would not be long delayed,
A conservative estimate by army
men--not officials that our casual
ties during yesterdays lighting were
nearly II NOT quite thousand, about
Is per cent Of which were deaths.
1'o-day's casualties on the Americ-
an side were much lower, because our
troops had been well intrenched the
night before,
