mostly at will, each bullet being aimed at

Reports from Battlefield.
WASHINGTON, July 2-This has been
day of unparalleled suspense and anxiety.
From President Mckinley down through
all official Washington everybody has been
under a tremendous strain Tidings from
Shafter have been eagerly awaited and mo-
mentarily expected, but, save a brief word
on the extent of loss yesterday, nothing
came from him during the day concerning
the progress of the action at Santiago.
Just at the close of the day the first bit
of information coming directly to officials
reached the President and Secretary Alger.
1t was a private dispatch, not primarily in
tended for them, although 1t came through
official channels. Briefly and expressively
1t told the story of day of terrific fight
ing. 1t was direct from the field of action
and was as late as D. m. 1t stated that
the engagement had been in progress
throughout the day; that the dead and
wounded were being carried to the rear,
and that the American losses were heavy.
The exact wording of the dispatch was not
made known, but one of the high officials
who read it said it conveyed to him the
idea of extreme tension and of a battle in
which all the fiercest elements of warfare
prevailed. Until this came the officials were
positively without a word as to whether
the engagement begun yesterday was con-
tinuing to-day. They could only spec.
ulate, some taking the view that
the assault of yesterday had been followed
to-day by a storming of the city itself.
others maintaining that Skaters troops
spent with the terrible strain of yesterday.
field of its dead and wounded. 1t was only
by this brief private message. which under
ordinary circumstances would have received
little attention, that the President and his
advisers were made aware that the battle
was still in progress and still without def
mite issue. AS it was, the few words re-
lieved the suspense, but not the anxiety. 1t
made known only that the fight was going
on. One Of the officials who read 1t said II
conveyed as much hopeful information as
could be expected. for. he said. he had not
expected victory yet. That the battle was
still raging meant that our men were pass
ing through fearful ordeal having been
In action row practically for thirty-six
hours. The mere fact that the dispatch did
not chronicle decisive advantage by the
American forces was construed by some
officials as onjnous.
