The present friendliness OF Great
Britain toward the United States is be-

RIDDLED BY
AMERICAN SHELLS

The Nipe Bay engagement was quite
hot, but there were no casualties on the
American side. The Spanish gunboat
Jorge Juan was riddled by eur shells.
1t is believed that two hundred men
deserted from her after opening the
Kingston valves.
A fleet bulletin just issued In regard
to the investigation of the effect of the
navy's shells at the Pombardment OF
Santiago says:
Twelve houses were completely
wrecked inside and one house was burn
ed. Sixteen S-inch shells struck within
three blocks on the Gale de Marina.
These excavated the ground to a depth
of about four feet and TO length Of
about ten feet. The street was macad
amized. IL was judged from the fact
that many Of them struck near the wa
ters edge that a number OF the shells
must have gone into the bay. Army
officers have stated that thirty or forty
went beyond the northern edge OF the
bay into the Spanish lines.

to-day after a skirmish with a detach-

retaries Alger and Long both an

patches from the Porto Rico expedition.
Secretary Alger especially was expect
ing to hear from Gen. Niles and was
much disappointed that no word had
come from him as to his landing, re-
ports OF which had been transmitted to
him through the Associated Press. Sec
retary Long also was keenly expecting

was asked. 1T is waiting orders from

Secretary Long, however noticeably
refrained from directly answering the
question.

been no change in the peace outlook

From this point OF view the state

be a starting point for negotiations
