Unable to Storm Santiago with the

The Situation at the Front Is Summarized in a Significant
Dispatch from the American Commander, Who Frankly
Acknowledges That the Spanish Defenses Are Much
Stronger Than Anticipated Magnificent Behavior of the
American Troops in the Terrible Battles Before the City
of Santiago They Fight Their Way Inch by Inch
Against a Desperate Foe.
' Washington, July 3. From the heat
and carnage of the battlefield of San
tiago, where for the last three days
the American forces have pressed for
ward acalnst an entrenched enemy,
General Shatter today sent tho follow
ing dispatch summarizing the situa
tion: Playa del Este, July 3. To Secretary
pf War, Washington: Camp near Se
ville, Cuba, July 3. We have the town
well invested on tho north and cast
but with a very thin line. Upon ap
proaching It we find It of such a char

General Hawkins was slightly wound

tho 'troops was magnificent. General
Garcia, has reported he Holds tho rail
road from Santiago to San Luis and
has burned a brldgo and removed
some Yalls, also that General Pando
has arrived at Talma, and that tho
French consul with about 400 French
citizens came Into his line yesterday

Secretary Alger sent the following
reply to General Shatter:
To General Shaftcr: The president
directs mo to say that you havo the
gratitude and thanks of the nation
for tho brilliant and effective work of
your noble army on Friday, July l.
The steady, valor and heroism of
officers and men thrill the Amercan
people with pride. The country mourns
the brave men who fell In battle. They
have added new names to our roll
of heroes.
Signed) Russell A. Alger,
Secretary of War.
DESPERATE FIGHTING.
The dispatch speaks for Itself and as
Adjutant 'General Corbln said, tells
tvhat a desperate fight our gallant troops
have -been in. It was received at noon
today after a lull of nearly 36 hours
In the official Information from the
field. At first, when It became known
that the American commander had re
ported tfio defences to be so strong
It would be Impossible to carry them by
ttorm wlth'hls present force, there was
momentarily a wave of deep apprehen
sion, But this was not shared by the
military authorities here. All their
tnergles, all their attention was turned
to meeting the situation as presented
by General Shatter. There was neither
lime nor disposition to take account
Df what had gone before, when the
fact was rllaln that the American army
'had fought Its wny Inch by Inch, under
i blazing sun, through a dense tropical
vegetation, steadily advancing and
beating back the foe, taking position
after position until, as General Shat
ter reported, the town was well invest
ed on the north and east by the long
drawn out line of American troops.
That was a sufficient tribute to the
Valor of our brave men and It silenced
all cavil over the conditions now pre
eented by General Shatter. It was a
time for action, for reinforcements and
turned.
But there was other Information of
a different tenor, coming about the
same time. The American army was
not alono feeling the effect of this
three days' shock of arms. Definite,
positive Information was at hand, that
Santiago had been literally torn to
pieces and that In tho wreck and ruin
of demoralized buildings, the Spanish
casualties numbered fully 1,000. This
was a fitting offset to any qualms
raised by the reports from tho Ameri
can lines. This Information came from
one of the foreign consuls stationed at
Santiago, who- reported to the repre
srilv uf tils country in Washing
ton tho fearful havoc the city wrought
by the American army and the fleet.
s
DISTRESS OF THE CITY.
The distress of the city, even before
the battle, was clearly shown by the
action of this consul In serving out
rations of one-half pound dally to his
fellow countrymen, a few hundred In
number, for tho last month. Evident
ly there was no food to buy; the Span
ish military forces had taken every
available pound; only by this official
distribution of rations to tho foreign
colony, could they be kept from starva
tion. Then came the brief but graphic
recital of the terrible effect of the
American attack from land and sea.
The bursting shells from our fleet had
done the greatest damage Inside of the
city. Buildings were riddled with rifle
shot and mown down with the huge
shells and solid projectiles from the
ships. Most of all tho Spanish com
mander, General Linares, occupying a
place similar to tho, of General Shatt
er In the American army, was serious
ly wounded. This last fact hud been
grudgingly admitted from Madrid, but
the report reporting here left no room
for doubt as to the seriousness of this
feature. "With it was the" further fact
that the Spanish casualties, even be
hind entrenchment ran up to a thous
and, and was dqual to that of the fear
less men who rought in the open.
With all the lights furnished on the
situation, official and unofficial, direct
and Indirect, It was apparent that each
side had suffered terribly, with now
a period of lull for those in responsibil
ity to measure their conditions, bury
their dead, care for their wounded and
prepare for the graver conflict yet to
come.
THE PRESIDENT CALM.
The president and his war advisers
remained calm throughout the trying
experiences of the dav. ah thnir- at
tention was directed to the work of
preparation. The future movements
of General Shatter are well established.
They had been made known In his dis
patch but It was deemed advisable not
to make this portion public as it would
serve to advise the enemy of the Amer
ican plans. It can only be said that
General Shatter's forces will be
strongly and favorably located, with
tho guns of the American warships
serving as an additional protection to
their front. Reinforcements" will be
hurried to them, which will be ample
for any emergency, whether It be Btorm
or siege.
With Santiago partially wrecked and
filled with a thousand dead and wound
ed, the condition there Is desperate,
even critical. There Is little likelihood
of any Spanish sorties i;, force under
such circumstances,' but the possibility
still opens that the Spanish garrison
may seek relief by evacuating the city
and retlrlntr by the mountain nih m
the north. But the American plan Is for
offensive, vigorous action and with the
full resources of men and arms at the
command of the country. As General
Miles said 50,000 If need be, will move
on Santiago; If more are needed, then
it will be 75,000. The lesson of San
tiago has served only to enkindle a
greater earnestness throughout every
avenue of official life at the national
capital, and there Is a deep determina
tion to meet heroic conditions with
heroic treatment.
Following the receipt of General
Shatter's telegram there was a hurried
war conference at the white house.Sec
retary Alger, accompanied by General
Corbln, reached there a few minutes
before 1 o'clock and was Immediately
closeted with tho president. Secretary
Alger brought the Shatter dispatch
with him and also a map and other
data necessary for the Important meet
ing about'to take place. General Cor
bln was with the president and the
secretary for a few minutes and then
hurried back to the war department
where he made public such portions of
General Shatter's dispatch as was com
patible with tho public Interest. As
sistant Secretary Melklejohn, who has
thorough knowledge of the transport
service, was also hastily summoned
and reached the white house about 1
o'clock. Tho conference lasted for
some time,
50,000 REINFORCEMENTS.
General Miles, who also was at the
White House, said that reinforcements
would "be rushed to the assistance of
General Shatter and If necessary these
would aggregate 60.000 men, though the
general had no Ide that such a num
ber would by any means be necessary.
The combined American and Cuban
forces now under the command of
General Shatter amounted approxi
mately, ho said, to 23,000 men while
those available for tho Spaniards was
probably 32,000 soldiers. These Includ
ed, however, the men at Holguln, pre
sumably about 10,001) and the force un
der another Spanish general amounting
to about 8,000 men. General Miles did
not Bay whether the two bodies of men
last referred to had actually Joined
General Linares, "but the understanding
Is here that they hVve not. Colonel
Humphries It In charge of the trans
port service with Shatter's army nnd
ho will bend back to Tampa the vessels
than cun be spared as rapidly ns pos
sible. In fact word had been received
that the transports had started for the
United States this morning.
If possible tho war department will
send 15,000 men from Tampa on these
transports. Six vessels have recently
loaded with men, ammunition, arms,
supplies, etc., and are now cither at
Key West or on their wav to reinforce
Shatter's army. Included in this ex
pedition nre some butteries of artillery.
In all these forces constitute about
2,500 or 3,000 men.
General Miles, in tho course of a
brief talk, said today that General
Shatter might contemplate tho with
drawal of his forces to the hiRhlands
In the direction of Slboney where they
would be near the sea. This, however,
would be a temporary expedient enab
Una: tho soldiers to rest and prepare
for the work ahead.
TROOPS WILL BE RUSHED TO
THE FRONT.
The officials hope to rush the rein
forcements to General Shatter so that
there will bo from 32,000 to 35,000 men
under his command within the next
ten days and sooner If this can be ar
ranged. This is exclusive of the insur
gents of whom General Garcia has
been able to bflng to Shafter's com
mand, approximately 4,000 men. There
were about 15,000 men and officers In
tho expedition that set out from Tam
pa less than a month ago. These have
since been reinforced by the troops of
Brigadier General Duffleld's command
amounting to 3,000 men and consisting
of the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth
Michigan and the Ninth Massachusetts
regiments. The first 1,300 of General
Dufilold's brigade have been with
Shatter for a week while the remaind
er have Just embarked. During the
past week a second expedition of large
proportions was scheduled to leave
Tampa carrying a portion of General
Simon Snyder's division of the Fourth
corps as reinforcements for General
Shatter. Assistant Secretary Melkle
john said today that eleven transports
were available to carry Snyder's
troops and while without any official
Information on the subject, he assumed
that probably 5,000 of them were now
on their way in these transports to
Join those in Santiago province. The
other troops to be sent to the aid of
General Shatter will nccordlng to the
understanding here, be the remaining
portion of General Snyder's division
and such other regiments now' nt
Tampa best equipped and ready for
active work. General Brooke, com
manding at Chlckamauga, has already
received Instructions to have fifteen
regiments prepared for Immediate
movement. General Snyder's division
which was under orders for Santiago
included the following regiments:
Eleventh nnd Nineteenth Infantry of
the regular army, tho First District
of Columbia, the Second New York,
tho Fifth Maryland, the Third Penn
sylvania, the One Hundred and Fifty
seventh Indiana and the First Ohio.
General Garretson's brigade now at
Camp Alger, Va., is under orders also
for Santiago. Garretson's brigade is
composed of the Sixth Illinois, Sixth
Massachusetts, the Eighth Ohio volun
teer regiments.
The army officials feel satisfied that
they have profited by the Experiences
In preparing the first expedition and
say better tlmo will be made with
those to follow.
The Mohawk and tho Mississippi,
two vessels of the American transport
lino Just acquired by the government,
have facilities for about 1,800 men and
animals and probably will be used In
sending aid to Shatter. They are now
at New York under orders for Tampa.

NEWS RECEIVED
AT WASHINGTON
Information Obtained Early Last Even
Inj Withheld,
THE WAR DEPARTMENT DID NOT
GIVE OUT THE .INTELLIGENCE
CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION
OF CERVERA'S SQUADRON UNTIL
IT HAD REEN CONFIRMED-NOTHING
TO PREVENT THE AMERICAN
OCCUPATION OF SANTIAGO.
Washington, July 4. Glorious news
from Cuba affords the American peo
ple Just reasons for an enthusiastic
celebration of this tho nation's na
tional day.
Admiral Sampson has accomplished
the work which he was directed to per
form when he left Key West for tho
southern coast of Cuba. He was or
dered to find and destroy Cervera's
fleet.
Several weeks ago Commodore Sch
ley located the fleet In the bay of San
tiago. Yesterday, after being- bottled
helpless In the harbor for weeks, the
fleet was destroyed.
Nothing now remains of the Spanish
squadron but shattered and burning
hulks.
In addition to the splendid work ac
complished by Admiral Sampson,
General Shafter, In command of the
land forces before Santiago, had bo
far progressed In the carrying out of
his plans for the reduction of the city
that at 10.30 yesterday morning he de
manded the immediate surrender of
the Spanish forces. At 4,30 yesterday
afternoon General Shafter's demand
had not been complied with so far as
the war officials here were able to as
certain. That the demand will be complied
with, however, General Shafter fully
relieves and that the Stars and Stripes
win on this Fourth of July be raised
over the former capital of Cuba Is re
garded as practically certain.
Shortly after 12 o'clock this morning
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen
left the White House hastily and go
ing to the department posted des
patches regarding the destruction of
tho Spanish lleet upon the department
bulletin board.
The Information contained In the des
patches wbb received early In the even
ing, but It was not announced officially
until several hours later. As a result
of Its receipt, however, a conference of
prominent oificlals was held at tha
White House Immediately. Those pres
ent at tho conference besides the presi
dent, were Vice President Hobart, Sec
retary Day, Secretary Long, Secretary
Alger, Postmaster General Smith, Gen
eral Miles, Adjutant General Corbln
and Senator Hanna.
The information was dUctissed in all
its phares. One of the officials who
attended the conference iald after the
news had been officially announced,
that it very materially modltlcd the
seriousness of the situation. The de
struction of tho fleet, which was not
confirmed until a few minutes before
the news was given to the public, re
moves by far the most serious obsta-,
cle to the occupation of Santiago by
the American land forces.
AWFUL, KXECUTION.
Difring the almost continuous cort
fllct of Friday and Saturday, roport
show that the Spanish llect did awful
execution by shelling the American
troops.
Details of the destruction of Cervera's
fleet hava not been received at this
writing "by either the war or navy de
partments. Whether Sampson's ships
entered the harbor and there attacked
and annihilated the Spanish squadron
or whether Cervera made a desperate
dash past the sunken Merrlmac to the
ocean beyond in the hope that he might
be able to save nt least a part of his
fleet, has not been officially ascer
tained Adjutant General Corbln voiced the
feelings of every one of the officials
when he said: "I don't care how the
fleet was destroyed. It was destroyed.
That Is enough for me. It Is great
news for the Fourth of July.
CERVERA'S FLEET.
The fleet of Admiral Cervera was one
of the finest Spalnpossessed. Three of
the vessels, the Almlrante Cquendo,
the Vlzcaya and the Cristobal Colon,
wer3 modem armured cruisers of the
first class. The Vlzcaya, which visit
ed this country soon after the Maine
was sent to Havana and was in New
York harbor when tho news of the
destruction of the American battleship
was tuken fiom her commander. She
was of 7,000 tons displacement, 340 feet
long and heavily armored, her belt ar
mor hclng 12 Inchea In thickness and
her deck armor three Inches. Tier ar
nMimeYit consisted of two 11-Inch, ten
5.0-lr.eh Hontorla guns, eight 2.2-lnch
rapid lire guns, eight 1.1-Inch rapid (Ire
guns and two mitrailleuse. She had
two masts with military tops, two tur
rets, two smokestacks and a ram bow.
She carried six torpedo tubes, was
capable of a speed of 20 knots and
her complement was 500 men.
The Almlrante Oquendo was in al
most every respect a duplicate of the
Vlzcaya.

Attempt to Break Our Line.
GENERAL LAWTON, AIDED BY
FRESHER REGIMENTS, TURNS
THE ENEMY AND DRIVEB THE
SPANIARDS INTO EL CANEY-TlIE
CAPTURE OF THE CITY WILL NOT
BE LONG DELAYED.
(Copyright, 189S, by the Associated Press.)
Slboney, Saturday, July 2 (7.30 p. m.),
by the Associated Press dispatch boat
Dauntless, via Port Antonio, Jamaica,
and Kingston, Jamacla, Sunday, July
3 (2.50 p. m.) The fighting on tho right
of our line this afternoon developed
unexpected and for some hours almost
as severe firing as yesterday (Friday)
when General Lawton was assaulting
El Caney.
The Spanish made an attack in forco
on our position, pouring In volley after
volley in quick succession and with
remarkable regularity. Our return
Are was certainly effective and con
tinued strong, after the Spanish vol
leys had become rarer and less heavy.
Meanwhile the battery on Grimes
hill kept booming away at the middle
of the enemy's line, materially aiding
the flanking movement. The shelling
from the Spanish ffeet was less active
and apparently gave our left but
little concern.
At this hour a report has Just reached
here that General Lawton, aided by
fresher regiments, sent him early In
the afternoon has turned the enemy's
left nnd has troojs already In the city
almost a hand to hand encounter Is
going on In the streets.
The situation when tho Associated
Press correspondent left the front, as
shown In an earlier dispatch, was
such that the capture of the city to
night (Saturday) would not be sur
prising, although Shafter himself, when
the correspondent left him three hours
ago, did not expect It.
General Shafter, however, sent word
this afternoon to General Callxto Gar
cia that the surrender of the city would
not be long delayed.
A conservative estimate of army
men not official Is that our casual
ties during yesterday's fight was near
ly If not quite 1,000 about 15 per cent,
of which were deaths.
Today's casualties on the American
side were much lower because our
