COLON 13 L HllWirS MISSION.
On June II Colnnol Howe soiit to the
westetn side of Havana u force of
about l.Min men, who were ordered to
Invest the cimrera fort (where the
queen's battery now Is) and pester the
enemy on that lde of the city ns much
as possible. This fotce was also older.
e.l to cut off the Flicams that were
cart-ylns wnter to the city, (in the
iip.M day Colonel Carleton wns sent In
to the city With a flag of truce to ile
liver the Hiitlsh commander's terms
to the governor. The governor de
clined to let Colonel Carleton cany
the letter to him In poison, nnd the
IhiRllsh olllccr took It away, lie took
it back on the next day and delivered
It, but without obtaining any aiwivsr.
.Meantime a lot of mortars were
brought on from the mortar boats anil
planted along the Havana bridge with
additional howitzers. The work if tho
Kngllshmeii was greatly Interfered
with by the heavy lains until June t!J.
The seamen and soldiers worked so
hard bringing ashore munitions nnd
supplies that the deaths from fatigue
nverage.l more than two a day. Tli'n
is hardly surprising. In view of the
fact that the Kugllshiiirii were unac
customed to such heat as they en
countered. I'or live las there was no
rain nt all, and the army began to suf
fer from thirst. Water had to be
brought ashore imm the ileet, and the
sailors found the work very weurl
sonie and dllllciilt.
Ul June 22 the llrst of the mniiar
batteries opened tin; on Morro Castle
"with great surcess." The Spanish
shins in the harbor attempted to inter-
f"te with the ballerles but wore dihoii
bii-k to their original anchorage by the
howitzers. The work of preparation
went on steadily until .1 tine 2!i. ( in June
27 the Admiral issued his orders for tho
water attack on the Morro. The Cam
bridge of olghu guns, the Dragon of
sneiity-four suns, and the Marlbor
ough ot seventy-four guns were se
lected to do the heaviest putt of the
wniu. Tho Stirling castle of seventy
guns was ordered to manoeuvre and
i over the anchoring of the bigger ships
(hi June 2!i. i he enemy sent a storming
party of li') men In small boats from
the city to surprise and distroj the
Cabanas balteiies. Hut Hie pickets
and iiuti di tnll"d as workmen drove
them off without assistance. The Span
ish lost 1:20 killed, wounded, and pris
oners The Kngllsh were surprised to
tlnd that most of them wrie niulattors
and negroes, with n sprinkling of Span
ish sailors.
The actual bombardment of Morro
c.i.-tie began on July 1. The Kngllsh
had the satisfaction of seeing nnhy nf
the Spanish cannon knock. d out of
th' ir ports nnd silenced. Hut thej nlso
burned, aloiic touaid the close of the
two limn s' bombardment, what the

Kngllsh easels weie forced during; tho
alternoon to leav th. Ir position nnd
retire. They weie badly cut up by the
Spanish lire and 117 men were killed.
The bombardment went on, however,
mull July 4, whereat the man who kept
the journal made this mtniuont.
The Morro was now found to be tuf
fer work and the Spaniards more reso
lute than we had at first Imagined. Oqr
people grew fatigued by tho liont rnd
hard labor, and the want of wntor near
tin m was a s. uslbl distress. Likewise
tlie disappointment of the .Morro's not
being it.iu'o.1 so speedily f.n they were
in Ptst made to hope, helped to depress
tho spirits of tho weak nnd those of
low minds: but wo tuund every want

The conquest of Morro Castle, which
had been thought Impregnable, wns
not the end of Havana. On tho fnl
lowing day the Spaniards In tho city
turned all their guns against the cup
tured fort and succeeded In buttering
It Into a shupeless pile of stone, mor
tar, and damaged brass cannon. There
was Hinrt'o moving, says tho Kngllsh
oiilcor, for tho guns nnd cnrrhigeu that
wetB scattered about. From Aug. 1 to
Aug. 10 the Kngllsh occupied their time
In mounting forty heavy guns on Ca
banas, with twelve mortars, six how.
Itxers, and a lot of small cannon.
Plunks for use In mounting the kuiib
were secured by rapturing a Spanish
frlgnto and cutting her up Into lumber
of the rpipilrcd length. Whpn the work
of mounting tho battery had been fin
ished Lord Albermarte sent n note to
the Spanish RovernniPiit tiling him to
surrfiider. Tho governor declined to
do so. Fire wns opened nt daybreak
on Aug. 11 from till tho guns of tho
Cabanas fort. Those to tho north wcro
manned by seamen from tho ileet, who
soon knocked the Castle do la Puntn
Into sueh a demoralized condition that
It was unable to do anything more for
tho town.
Hy noon there wns scarcely n single
battery of the Spanish that was able
to make effectlvo answer to tho Kng
llsh lire, and at 3 o'clock la the nftor
nnnn white flags wore thrown out from
all parts of the city. After a twenty
four hours' truce, tho Spanish sur
lendered. The Spanish loss during the whole
siege wns estimated at rt.OOO. Kxcept
from sickness, the Kngllsh loss was
very little more than the senmeii who
were killed on the Hist day of the at
tnek on the Mono. The Kngllsh cap
turcd nine ships of the line, the largest
of sevpiity-fnur riiiis and the smallest
of sixty-four, and two more warships

LONC. SIKC.K.
The eicgo pounded along for neurit
three weeks and batteries of both the
KiiRllsh and the Spanish wore knocked
to pieces and built up again wlthmt
any particular chaiiRe In the general
situation. The Kngllsh land forces fro
queiilly ran out or ammunition and
had to bo supplied fiom tlie ships.
On July 22 the Spanish sent l.'JOO men
In small bnatu from the dty at night.
At daybreak they attacked the Kng
llsh batteries. After about 10ft of them
had been killed they began to howl for
quarter, which was In those days a
distinct concession. It wns granted by
the Kngllsh who went forward to sur
round their prisoners, and were receiv
ed with chaiacteiistic Spanl.-di treat h
ery. The Spaniards leaped upon them
with knives nnd dubbed muskets and
fought like mad. Tho privilege of
quarter was suspended for the time
being, and the Spanish were suppres
sed effectually. Very few of the Kng
llsh werp killed or wounded, the only
notable cnsunllty occurring to Hiigi
dler (Jeiieral Cnrleton, who had been
promoted during, the siege. He re
ceived a flight wound In the arm.
The Karl of Albemarle b. camp con
vinced thnt Moiro castle was not to
be reduced by a bombardment, and
otdored his engineer force to dig mines
under the Spanish f.iitllleat.iniis. This
was slow and tedious work, and the
Inaeilvlty of the rest of the army
dining the meantime was dishearten
ing. The fond supply beginning to tun
low. and the Cuban .ilniate was begin
ning to toll i.erloitsly on the rank and
tlte. On July 27 the otllccr who wrote
the black letter Journal made this en
try: "The great heat nnd the reduced sup
ply of water told severely on the men,
of whom S.nno were reported tin tit for
duty, nnd more nllleers In compari
son. The Ileet. 1 am told, had over
:i,0(!0. Neither of us had any fresh pro
visions with which to nourish the re
covering men. so that their weakness
exceeded their first disorder."
on July .in the mines were reported
fompletcd. Tin y were tired nt 2
o'clock In the afternoon, and great I v to
the glory of Colonel Mackoller the chief
of engineers, the air was lllle.l with for
mications and Spaniards, to paraphrase
Hip description by a New York blue
lnckct of the recent attack on Mntan
70s. The ep.rniy seemed stunned by
the suipiise and quite incapable of ie
allzlng that it was neeisrnry at once
to throw troops into the breach thus
formed. The commander-in-chief of
the Kngllsh for.es oiderod a general
charge. The Kngllsh went forward
ttndilv nnd coolly, nnd found pru.tl
i.illy no tone opposing tie m. The
Kncilsh olil. rs attributed this to the
quiet hi- idlmss with which their men
man bed at the fortifications, in tli'U
opinion, nothing could have discon
certed the Spaniards so rnn.ii as thf
Knglbii assumption thnt there was
nothing Inside the fort to be afraid of.
