on Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston.
Jam, June p. Several to
ana landing places for United States
troops within a distance of twenty
niles west of Santiago have demon
strated, along with previous inquiries
10 the eastward, that the shore for
htteen miles is lined with Standards.
Nhlle this will not prevent a landing
ciose 10 santiago, 1t may entail consid-
cradle delay as the surrounding coun-
Try must be thoroughly shelled and
cieared before the troops can land In
satety. When Rear Admiral Sampson
received advices that upward of thirty
transports would be here he sent word
n a they should stand TO the south
ten miles and lie there until a landing
place had been secured. At daylight
tle launches Of tie New York and the
massachusetts reconnOitpred the shore
between CGUanas, two miles west of
the entrance 10 Santiago harbor, and
~Guayaganac1, two miles further west.
Doth Of which points lie east Of the
range of mountains surrounding Santi-
ago bay. The launches pushed their
noses into a hornets nest. The brush
was fairly alive with troops, infantry
ana cavalry, who opened fire upon the
launches which vas so fierce that they
retreated to be covered by the Vixen
and Texas. When the Texas asked
permission of Commodore Schley TO
take a hand the commodore seized the
megaphone and shouted to Capt.
Philip: yes, go in and give 'em-
Jack" The Texas landed two shots at
the battery, completely demolishing
it. Lieutenants Sharp and Harlow, in
command Of the launches. were both
commended by Admiral Sampson for
gallantry. 1t is said the insurgents,
who are in force and commanded by
Gen. Garcia about fifteen miles fur
Their west, will render effective aid in
driving the Spanish skirmishers off the
shore.

Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
JAM, June u. A careful inspection
of the Notifications along the crest of
the hills defending Santiago since the
bombardment Tuesday morning, show
the American gunners spread wreck
and ruin everywhere. Some of the
batteries were demolished beyond re-
pair. The v~ultures, which circled on
level wings over the hills as thick as
swallows around a chimney for hours
after the firing ceased furnish grue-
some evidence of the fatality among
the Spanish soldiers. Hundreds of
troops could be seen from the ships
digging in mounds of earth piled up
by the explosion OF the projectiles
from the heavy guns for the bodies
While their heads were famed by the
black scavangers of the battlefield.
Tie hill tops seemed literally blown
away. The most significant feature
was Moro castle. The saffron-colored
flag Of Spain was half-masted for
hours. The significance of this is not
known. 1t is not customary to half
mast flags, but possibly ONE
spuVNINh Leautr WIS Nttteu
by the heavy fire of our guns, though
some officers of the squadron believe
the flag was half-masted as a notitiea-
ton to the Americans that Lieut.. Hob
son and his brave men were dead. If
such is the case they must have been
wantonly murdered. The Spaniards
may ascribe their death to the bonn
bardment, but not a shot struck Moro
castle. Neither Admiral Sampson nor
Commodore Schley believe Lieut.. Hob
son and his party have been killed.
There was evident Generalization
among the Spanish troops during the
bo~mbardmept. Officers could be seen
with drawn swords driving the men
to the guns, but even then they could
not be forced TO stay go long as our
guns We're directed at them. The if
teen minutes night work of the We
suviuS had shattered their nerves. 1t
is believed by some that the thirteen
inch projectiles fired from the Texas,
which was reported to have exploded
the powder magazine in one of the
Western batteries, did not fall into the
battery, but went beyond and
Blew Up One of the ships
in the harbor. 1t was the most deadly
and destructive bombardment of the
war thus far. Scarcely a shot from
the big guns Of the squadron went
astray. The aim of our gunners was
superb, and not only were the coast
forts annihilated, but the batteries on
Cayo Smith, up the harbor, were de-
stroyed. Had all the ships used
smokeless powder as did the New Or
leans, there would remain no signs Of
guns or Notifications to indicate that
there had eve been any defenses
there. There were no casualties i'm the
fleet, although the ships held fixed po-
sitions, as if inviting the Spaniards to
fire uDon them.
The Western squadron got into line
and began firing before the eastern one
did, and the effect of the shots could
be plainly seen. The Spanish gunners
at the batteries could be noted and a
quick fire was returned, but only for a
brief time did they Withstand the ter
rible assault of the fleet.
