During the whole engagement the firing

the American ships was injured. One

Salem. Mass, July 4.-The hacbor ex-

between Salem Willows, Beverly and
Bakers Island, was: struck by lightning
and at the same time capsized by minia-
ture tornado while on her way to Baker 5
Island this afternoon The catastrophe
occurred soon after o'clock. when the
steamer was about half mile from the
landing a the Willows, and a quarter of
a mile from the shore.
She had about seventy passengers
aboard at the time, together with the
crew, OF these about forty were saved
by boats and life preservers. AT least
thirty are unaccounted for and are be-
lieved TO have been lost Seven bodies.
all those of women and children, have
been recovered. Details of the disaster
are meager and no names are obtained
at this hour.
The Surf City was an old propeller
steamship. rather fiimsy and standing
very high out of the water. At one time
she piled on Long Island Sound.
She put out from the Willows about $50
with her decks crowded with people from
Salem and Beverly. most of whom in
tended to make the round trip for the
sake of the fresh air on the water. Sew
eTal members OF the Cambridge bicycle
clubs were on the boat. Being a small
craft the passengers were crowded on the
upper deck When the steamer was a
short distance from the pier those en-
shore saw squall sweep over the bay.
II was accompanied by a heavy cloud
and a fierce wind.
Just as the squall struck the steamer,
whose skipper was trying to get her
nose 10 it, a bolt of lightning was seen
TO fall apparently on her bow. Simulta-
neously the wind and sea struck her and
she careened heavily. Then she disap-
peared in curtain of rain. When this
had passed the steamer was seen to
have gone over. She was floating On
her beam ends and dozen black figures
were seen holding on TO her upper works.
Several swimmers could also be seen
heading for the shore.
The accident was noticed from dozen
poinss and a fiotilla Of rowboats and cat
boats hastened toward the scene. Before
they reached it the Surf City had gone
down altogether with larger number of
those who were clinging TO her. Among
those saved were the captain and crew

Wilmington, Del. July 4.-Whatever
may be the outcome of the harmony deal
between the rival factions of Delaware
Republicans. it does not include the re-

All the Republicans have been hoping
that Mr.. Addicks would keep quiet, and
the impression gained ground last week
that he had ceased to nave aspirations
for seat in the Senate.
Mr.. Addicks has personally disposed of
these reports. Saturday night he said:
Il am still a candidate for United States
senator from Delaware and propose to
Z remain in the field. 1 never surrender or

When Mr.. Addicks was asked in refer

Il have not heard of these rumors and

Saboney. July 4.-The dispatches have
already told at length of the fierce fight
ing Friday and up to an early hour Sat
urday afternoon that carried the Ameri-
can colors close up to the gates of San
tiago. After the SUMS courier left the
field the fighting continued but with far
less fury and with smaller loss OF life
than before
One of the correspondents, who re-
manned to watch and report the progress
of the battle. came across a Spanish
prisoner, who explained that Gen. Vera
del Rey. who had commanded the Spanish
troops about FL Caney on Friday, had
been killed and pointed out the place
where the body was lying. The body was
in the thick weeds and wire grass, and
close by it were found the bodies of two
of the generals three aides and two other
officers. At a little farther distance was
found the generals % brother. who had
been desperately wounded.
All were lying close to a high hedge
formed of cactus. under cover of which
they had apparently been seeking shelter.
They had been struck by a yeiIey that
had been poured into, the hedge. by the
Americans. Even their horses and mules
had been killed by the same deadly volley
On the body of Gen Vera del Rey tfss
correspondent found a number of valuable
papers giving details of the Qualifications
of Santiago, the number and disposition
of the troops and plans Of the Spanish
campaign. These papers were turned over
to Garcia, the Cuban. eommander,, who
will hand them to Gen. Shafter.
The vultures had found the dead and
had feasted on the bodies.
The correspondent. in addition to find
! ing these bodies, learned from Spanish
prisoners that Commander Romero. of the
famous civil guard of Spain, was des-
perately wounded.
This morning a few Spaniards were
found in a blockhousel firing upon the
Americans and doing some damage. A
Spanish prisoner was told to so to the
| blockhouse and tell those inside that the
Americans were about to fire a dynamite
gun at them and thatit would be better
for them to surrender. When the Span

gave themselves UP to she Americans.
