HOT BUT FRUITLEss ATTACK.
Spanish story of Santiago Bombardment
Saturday Evening.


Madrid, June IA dispatch to The
impartial from Santiago de Cuba says
that at 10 o'clock Saturday evening
twenty American warships opened a hot
attack on Santiago de Cuba, but that
they were so distant that their shots
did not reach the forts.
The dispatch adds that, seeing the
futility of the enemy's cannonade, the
Spaniards made no reply to the fire,
awaiting the nearer approach of the
ships. but the attacking fleet continued
to ,remain in its distant position. The
dispatch further says the bombardment
lasted forty-five minutes and was not
resumed. Sunday, it continues, sixteen
American warships were still moored at
the same place, in sight OF Santiago de
Cuba.

Santiago is to be the first place at
tackled, although troops may not be
landed for a week or more BY that
time Sampson will have gathered a
great fleet and have sufficient strength
to crush a squadron twice as powerful
as Cervera's. 1t will be exceedingly diff
fc1lt to blow the Merrimac out of the
harbor, and the Vesuvius may be used
to countermine the entrance, which
would then be safe for ships to enter.
Anyhow, the Merrimac will keep Ger
veras ships from interfering with the
Americans while they are landing
troops. AS the soldiers will be landed
some distance from Santiago, they will
be safe from the land batteries.

The conference on the flagship did
not last long. General Garcia proved
himself to be n man of great clearness
of expression, and had the whole sit
uation at his fingers ends. When
leaving the flagship, General Garcia
expressed the opinion that General
Pando would never reach Santiago,
though he had 10000 men to support
him. The details of the plans which
