THE landing of the army was completed
yesterday afternoon, all having been dis
embarked with the addition of 297S of Gen.
Garcia's forces. Large quantities of stores
have also been disembarked and a base es-
tablished. General Shafter has been most
kind in his recognition of the aid afforded
by the fleet all of our boats, with several
hundred officers and men, assisting during
this period of the work. General Shafter
in his telegram to the War Department
states that the aid given him by the navy
was enthusiastic, and also he thinks he
could not have effected the landing without
its aid in ten days, if at all. Such disem-
barkation in the face of the enemy and
upon a surf bound coast of the character
of this must be regarded as a very success

Another Account of the Destruction
of the Spanish Fleet.

WASHINGTON, July ia copy of the
Squadron Bulletin, which is published every
day or so on the flagship New York, has
been received here, and gives the following
account of the naval fight at Santiago, un-
der date of July 8:
This is red letter day for the American
navy, as dating the entire destruction of
Admiral Cervera's formidable fleet consist
ing of the Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya,
Oquendo Cristobal Colon and the deep sea
torpedo boats Furor and Pluton. The flag
ship had started from her station about 0
o'clock to go to Siboney, where the admiral
proposed going for a consultation with
General Shafter. When about a mile from
the bay the Spanish fleet was observed
coming out and making westward. The
flagship at once put about to rejon. The
exit was remarkably sudden and the pace
sustained by the enemy was such that the
flagship was more of a spectator than an
actual participant. having an opportunity
of firing only at one of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers. Though at no time close enough
to fire on the larger ships, there was a
fine view of the successive steps of the vic
tory and an opportunity of taking part in
the long and successful chase after the
Cristobal Colon
''It is of course much to be regretted that
we were not able to save anything out of
the general wreck. All but the Cristobal
Colon were total wrecks early in the action
being fired by shells, run ashore and blown
up or burned. The Cristobal Colon was
chased about sixty miles, until p. m. The

of water in the engine room. Officers and

IRENE'S OFFICERS REBUFFED
DEWEY DECLINED TO ACCEPT THE
REFUGEES FROM GERMANS,
Though the Latter Asserted They In
terfered "in the Cause of Human
ity"-The Situation at Manila.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-The Navy De-
partment to-day received from Admiral
Dewey the following dispatch:
"Agunaldo informed me his troops had
taken all of Suhic bay except Isla Grande.
which he was prevented from taking by the
German man-of-war Irene. On July the
Raleigh and Concord went there They
took the island and about 1900 men. with
arms and ammunition. No resistance. The

/ shall send the Boston to Cape Engano
about July 16 to meet second army detach-
ment. 1t is not practicable to send to
Guam. No transport vessels available.
DEWEY"
1t was refreshing to the Navy Depart
ment to receive good news again from
Dewey. In fact. it is beginning to be re-
marked that that officer is usually able to
make felicitous reports. The administra-
tion is very much pleased with the readi-
ness shown by the admiral in meeting the
grave issue presented to him at Subic bay
and just reported as he did. Naval officers.
too, were not little gratifed at the speedy
retirement of the German cruiser Irene
after the appearance of the Raleigh and
Concord. A comparison of the ships shows
that the Irene was much the superior TO
either of the two American vessels, and. in
tonnage, was almost as large as the Raleigh
and Concord together. From this it is i'm
ferred that the retirement of the Irene was
from motives of general policy rather than
from any disposition to try conclusions
with the two American ships The Irene is
a protected cruiser. built of steel, with three
screws, two tunnels and two military masts;
4.400 tons. Her protected deck is of steel,
three inches thick. Her armament consists
of fourteen six-inch guns, eight one-pound-
ers, four torpedo tubes and one torpedo
vedette boat. The Raleigh has a protected
deck of one and one-quarter inches thick
ness and the Concord a protected steel deck
of one and one-third inches. Together the
two American boats have about forty guns,
four Gatling guns, eight torpedo tubes.
In armor the German ship was much
stronger than the Americans, but in guns
the Americans had the advantage in num-
ber and general effectiveness.
In official circles here there appears to be
no disposition to look upon the action Of
the Irene as a menace which will require
explanation. 1t was thought at first that
this first outward show of force on the part
of the German ships might lead to an in
quiry by this government as to the pur.
poses of Germany. Thus far, however,
there is no disposition to make such i'm
quiry or to attach serious Importance to
the incident.

MANILA, July 8, via Hong Kong July 13.
The insurgents Wednesday, July 6, re-
ported that the German gunboat Irene. in
Subic bay, refused to permit them to attack
the Spaniards on Grande island. Rear Ad-
miral Dewey promptly dispatched the
United States cruisers Raleigh and Concord
to investigate the matter. On entering Su-
bic bay the Raleigh opened fire on the forts,
whereupon the Irene slipped her cable and
steamed out by the other channel. The re-
suit of the fire of the American war ships
was that the Spaniards, numbering over five
hundred men. surrendered everything.
On returning to Manila the Irene explained
that she interfered "in the cause of humans
ity," and offered to hand over to the Amer
leans the refugees she had on board. Ad-
miral Dewey however. declined to accept
them.

CRISIS is AT HAND.
Santiago VIII Either CapituIate or BE
Captured To-Day.


WASHINGTON. July 14.-Among the best
informed administration officials the opinion
is universal tonight that the crisis of the
Santiago campaign is at hand. 1t is deemed
certain that tomorrow will witness either
desperate fight or an unconditional surren-
der on the part of the Spanish forces, with
the chances of both so evenly divided that
there is scarcely toss-up between them.
The war officials are hoping for surren-
der of the city, and they generally believe
that General Toral, the Spanish commander,
will yield at the last moment rather than
subject his men to what inevitably will be
a losing fight. He is evidently hesitating as
to what course he shall pursue, and, as Ad-
jutant General Corbin, commenting upon
the situation tonight said: THE soldier
who hesitates is doomed"
Up to 80 o'clock tonight not a word of
information that would throw any light
upon the situation at Santiago had been
received by the War Department. Both
Secretary Alger and Adjutant General Cor
bin expressed the opinion that nothing tam
gible would be received before tomorrow,
perhaps not until afternoon
General Skaters command is now in ex-
cellent condition and spirits. Strong rein
forcements have arrived and are at the
front. The original force under Skaters
command numbered about 1900 men. Since
July the corps has been reinforced by the
following troops: General Duffield's bri-
gade, 2,500 men, recruits for the regular
army, $50 men; First Illinois Infantry. 942
