HOW 1T WAS FOUGHT.
Still Another Account of the Battle
That Was Waged Friday.

HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL
SHAFTER. in the field, near Santiago de
Cuba, Friday, July l, 10 a. M, by Asso-
ciated Press dispatch boat Wanda, via Port
Antonio, Saturday, July 2, a. M, and
Kingston, n:SO a. ma general movement
by the right flank on Caney and Santiago
de Cuba began yesterday Thursday after
noon and by midnight all the troops were
at the bivouae positions ready for to-day's
battle, about three miles from the Spanish
line of defense extending from Caney, on
the enemys left, to Aguadores. Meanwhile,
against Aguadores General Duffield had
moved out on our extreme left Our forma-
ton in line was approximately this: Gen.
Lawtons division on the right, to operate
directly against Caney, General Kent to his
left. and General Wheeler's division, under
Gen. Sumner, forming the left of the line
The battle began by the discharge of the
guns of the fleet off Aguadores before 6
o'clock, followed in about fifteen minutes
by the opening of General Lawton's artil-
lery posted to the east of Caney during the
night. In another fifteen minutes Captain
Grimes's battery Of the Second Artillery be-
gan to fire upon the center and principal
Spanish defenses east of the city of Santia-
go. There was no return fire until the bat
terry to the left front of the barracks and
hospital in the upper end of Santiago had
rallied with surprising accuracy, sweeping
the brow OF the hill on which our artillery
was posted forming the left Of General
Summers division. The artillery duel be-

showing themselves in large bodies in the
open. All the retreats were towards San
tiago and it is probable that by nightfall
the entire force of Spaniards in the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba will be within the
city's walls. with the exception of four
thousand men under General Pando, whose
attempt to reinforce Santiago is believed to
have been frustrated.

came active and after we had got the
majority of the Spanish shells fell back of
the hill among the infantry posted there.
The casualties at this point were between
thirty and forty killed or wounded.
Some Of the Cubans under General Gar
cha and also three or four artillerymen on
the hill and the Third and Sixth Cavalry,
which had bivouacked on the hill, deployed
rapidly in front and in half an hour double
lines of battle were ready for the advance,
extending half mile north and south. The
Spanish batteries at Santiago were silenced
at about, this time, and thenceforth, for an
hour and half. the fight was largely be-
tween the infantry columns. The situation
is now very favorable for our side. There
is lull in the firing, which, both on the
part OF the infantry and artillery, has been
very heavy. There is a rumor that Caney
is in our hands, but it is not confirmed. 1t
is also reported that General Lawton's
troops suffered heavy losses, especially the
Second Massachusetts. but it is believed
that the reports may be exaggerated.
The Spanish do not seem to have had any
artillery at Caney, but the musketry COM
bat in that quarter was hot and continuous
for nearly an hour. The advance of our
regulars along the center and left was
steady, and their fire was deliberate and
magnificently sustained. The Spanish fired
in volleys in rapid succession, while the
Americans discharged few shots, but with
definite aim 1t is believed that the Span
ish losses are exceedingly heavy.

CALLED BACK BY PANDO.
Spanish Troops at ManzanillO Did Not
Go to Santiago.

MONTEGO BAY, Island of Jamaica, July
/, 1890 p. m. delayed in transmission.)-A
Cuban messenger from the insurgents near
Manzanillo province of Santiago de Cuba,
who landed here to-day from a sail boat,
brought the intelligence that the Spanish
troops, numbering about 5000 men, which
left Manzanillo on June % to march to San
tiago, were called back by General Pando.
1t appears that when the army had reached
the vicinity of Bayamo, General Pando was
not with the troops. as had been reported.
He was, and is, in Havana. The relieving
army. the Cubans say, was supplied with
food and the roads were almost impossible
and the artillery could not be dragged along
with them. Thus, getting to Santiago in
time to succor the garrison there appeared
to be impossible, hence the recall of the
troops.

JURAGUA, Friday, July l. noon, via
Guantanamo delayed in transmission 1.-The
forward movement of the American troops
on Santiago was started at daylight, when
there was a general movement all along the
line. The order of the battle was: The
First and Tenth Cavalry, the Third Sixth
and Twenty-frst Infantry, one squadron of
the Ninth Cavalry under General Lawton,
with the Rough Riders massed on the left
The plateau was held by four pieces of the
artillery and siege guns. A movement
towards Santiago from the northeast was
made with the intention of clearing the val
ley for a general engagement later. The
telegraph lines are following up the advance
in fine style. AT this hour four Americans
are reported dead and sixteen wounded, all
of the Twenty-first Infantry.
While the troops were making their adj
vance the Suwanee and Gloucester ran close
into Augadores and knocked the Spanish
fort to pieces. The fort, large stone struc-
ture, and the surrounding walls withstood
the bombardment for over an hour, but a
shell finally tore through the southeast cor
ner, and the tower. bearing the Spanish flag,
fell with a crash Several shells were
thrown into the rifle pits to the right of the
fort but the Spanish apparently fled at the
first fire. No shot was fired from the shore.

ficer just from the front said the enemy are
hopelessly beaten, for the city viii fall to-
morrow.
General Shafter at his headquarters at the
second crossing of the Rio Guiana, had
constant communication with the front.
Our most critical time was after the
trenches had been taken. when the am
munition ran low. Two pack trains loaded
with shells were got to the front by Lieut..
Brooks shortly after 3 o'clock.
The wounded are streaming in. General
Shafter estimates that the loss in killed
and wounded is not more than 500.

The establishment Of the
whipping post to punish petty
criminals will do much to les.
sen crime and save costs to the
honest law abiding tax payers.
1t is evident that something
must be done as our Crimina
costs are getting too heavy.
What does Il certain class care
to stay in Jail during the win
ter? In fact many petty crimes
are committed by worthless
persons in order that food, and
shelter will be provided by the
public and the fellows have no
work to do. 1t is time for Il
change. To some the whipping
post may appear 6arbarous, but
rest as sured of the fact that but
little whipping will be neces-
Sary and the number of crimi-
nails will decrease and at the
same time criminal costs and
expense for care of criminals
will decrease.
