There was considerable surprise und
talk over General Torafs report to the
Spanish government that the number
of Spanish sick had increased 10 10000
the death rate being from J. to IA
daily. That report covers the Spanish
army soldiers captured by General
Skaters army at Santiago, who are
awaiting transportation to Spain The
Spanish prisoners of war exceed the
number of United States troops under
General Shafter at that point. but it is
noticeable that. General Shafter re-
ported the total sick, 1854" in his
army on the same day that the Span
ish General Toral reported that
ehe spanish sick had increased
10 10000 or nearly three times
pc number of sick in Cen
rial Skaters army. These facts show
mat the United States troops are
standing the sickly climate of Cuba
better than the Spanish troops who haf
been in Cuba for months before o,,,
troops landed on Cuba. OF course. tn,
Spanish prisoners of war are discour
aged. but they are better fed by tn
United states than they have been b,
Spain al any time. and are also NOR
literally supplied with medicines an,
medical treatment than they were be
fore they We're captured.

of the report made by Admiral Samp-
son concerning the action at San Juan,
De Puerto Rico: Upon approaching
San Juan it was seen that none of the
Spanish vessels were in the harbor. l
was therefore considerably in doubt
whether they had reached San Juan
and again departed for some unknown
destination, Or whether they had not
not arrived. AS their capture was the
object of the expedition. and as it was
essential that they should not pass to
the westward, determined to attack
the batteries defending the nort, in
order to develop their position and
strength. and then. without waiting
to reduce the city or subject it to the
regular bombardment-which would
require due notice-turn to the west
ward. / commenced the attack as
soon as it was good daylight. This
lasted about three hours. when the
signal was made to discontinue the
fight.

Three times the warships made the
circuit outlined in the official plan.
The forts withstood the first round,
but the Montgomery from its station
near Canuclo Fort wrought complete
destruction. With glasses the officers
of the Montgomery could see the cccu-
pants of the fort jumping over the
walls and running away. The Detroit
which went nearest to Moro, had to
train its guns at a high angle. Its shots,
directed at the north side Of the Nor
70, cut deep burrows in the face OF the
Notifications. The Iowa, leading the
fleet, delivered it's deadly missiles with
great accuracy upon Morro's northern
walls. The rest of the feet fired in
order, first on Moro and then on San
Carlos. according to position, On the
second round the Spanish gunners were
thoroughly awakened, and stood by
their guns bravely, keeping up furi-
Gus, but aimless fire. From their firm
foundation and high elevation they had
a splendid opportunity to cripple our
fleet, but the Spanish gunners seemed
to fire regardless Of aim and as if only

Terror Plays Lone Hand.
At the end Of the third round the

the order to withdraw and engaged

The Terror moved in as if intending to
