o'clock tonight. This result wns not
obtained, however, without severe fight
ing on the part of the American forces
and although It Is Impossible at this
time to give a list, of the dead or
wounded, It Is Safe 'to" nay that the loss
In General Lawton's division alone will
be 150 killed or wounded. Ambnff the
wounded are:
Colonel Carpenter, commanding the
Seventh infantrr.
Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, com
manding the Twenty-second lntantry, will

cntli lnfHnliViIrt!l lb the lejt breast.
Lieutenant Charles E. Field. Second
Massachusetts, shot through the fore
head. General Ludlow's horse was killed
under him, . ,
In General Lawton's division the
Second Massachusetts had up to the
middle of the day sustained the heav
iest loss, although other regiments
were actively engaged. During the af
ternoon the light for the possession of
Caney was most obstinate and the. ul
timate victory reflects great credit up
on the American troops. It was a
glory, too, for Spain, though she nev
er had a chance to win at any time
during the day. Her men fought In en
trenchments, covered ways and block
houses, while the American forces were
in the open front from first to last.
The Spanish soldiers stuck to their
work like men, and this, the first land
fight of the war, my well cause Spain
to fpel proud of her men.
The American soldiers attacked the
entrenchments thiough open ground,
and, from the firing of the first shot
until they wero on the hills above
Caney, they fought their way forward
and the Spanish were driven hack
wards. General Chaffee's brigade
held their rlzht of the line with the
town of Caney. General Ludlow's di
vision was In the centre, and Colonel
Miles held the left.
PLAN OF BATTLE.
The plan of battle was for Captain
Allyn Capron's battery of tho First
artillery which held a position In the
centre, above General Ludlow, to
shell the fort near the town, for Gen
eral Chaffee to close in as soon ng tho
the artillery had reduced the fort and
driven the Spaniards towards Santia
go. General Ludlow to lay in the road
below the hill on which Captain Cap
ron's battery was stationed and swing
In on General Chaffee's left, while Col
onel Miles' brigade was to keep close
to General Ludlow's right and, by a
simultaneous movement, sweep the
Spaniards in toward Caney.
General Lawton, who personally di
rected the operations of his division,
left his camp, on the road from Sib
oney to Santiago, at 4 a. m., and at 3
o'clock was with Captain Capron's
battery on the hill above Caney.
Orders wero given that tho battle
should begin from the centre, unless
General Chaffee, who was nearest to
the enemy, should find himself attack
ed first.
Tho action opened at 0:45 with a shot
from the second section of Captain
Capron's battery. It htruck close to
the stone fort near Caney. Another
shot hit the foit fairly. The Span
lards gave up the Idea of holding the
stone foit proper after it was struck
the tlrst time and the entire garrison
ran down the hill toward tho town.
The covered way In front of the fort,
however, was held by the Spanish
troops, who maintained an obstinate
fire upon our men, who were, advancing
slowly through the bush and stoves,
only firing an occasional shot.
Captain Capron's battery opened on
the enemy at onco and toio the ground
up with shells, sending clouds of dirt
high Into the air. The battery nlso
sent a number of shells entirely
through tho fort, tearing down large
sections of the walls. This fine marks
mansOilp was repeated seveial times,
the battery stopping the lire of the
Spanish soldieis, who had opened re
peatedly from the covered way pits.
By S o'clock General Chaffee's bri
gade was pressing in toward the town
and, tjvf firing at Interval's was very
WAm"
It was very difficult to see anything
of the battle owing to the rolling na
ture of the ground, and the dense veg
etation, that obscured the view In al
most every direction made It impos
sible to see far.
CAPTAIN CAPRON'S WORK.
The flrlnB nt times was very heavy
during the morning, hut the Spaniards
In tho covered way made a most ob
stinate defence and refused to yield
an inch. Time and again the shells
from Captain Capron's battery drove
thraUi cover, but as soon as his Are
ceased they wero up and at It again.
Despite the heaiy firing of the Amer
ican troops the were nble to make but
llttln apparent progress during the
morning, although eventually Un
steadily drew In and enclosed tho town
on nil sides.
At noon It became evident that the
flr?:?f.om tho voverod way could not
bitppjjed by the artillery alone und
that no permanent advance could bo
made until thr place wus taken, and
General Lawton decided to capture It
by- assault.. Accordingly he sent a
messenger fo General Chaffee vllh In
struction to take the position by a
chars. Oeneral Chaffee thereupon
clfrt.Jn with his men rapidly from
t'lt.U"ltf while. Captain Capron main
tHlnl a'liuavy tliv on the fort, keep
ing the Hpanlarde In the covered way
and putting hole nfter hole into the
tone wjulsict'trie fort. Bhortly af.
forwards ho threw a ahbt from the
b'attery, which tore away the flagstaff,
bringing the Spanish flag to the
ground.
From that tlmo no banner waved
above It.
At 3 o'clock the advance line of
General Chaffee's skirmishers, the flev
enth Infantry, began to appear on tho
edge of the woods below the fort and
by rapid rushes advanced up tho hill
to thr fort. No shot was fired ns they
swept forwiud. It was evident that
the covered way had been abandoned
and In a few minutes the American
troops wero thick around the fort which
commands the north side of the town.
The Spaniards were completely sur
rounded. The main part of the army,
was between them and Santiago, and
General Lawton's division wns around
them on the other three sides. They
retired to building In tho town nnd
made a gallant defence, but from tho
tlmo General Chaffco's men took the
stone fort they were lost troops to
Spain.
ADVANCE OF THE ARTILLERY.
Rather than take the town by a
general assault, without the aid of ar
tillery, which must certainly result In
arent loss of life. General Lawton de
cided lo order forward aitlllery to shell
the town at close range. Although the
road from the hill to tho edge of the
town was nearly Impassable for artil
lery, Captain Capron made the effort
and by 5 o'clock had his guns In posi
tion ready to open on the town.
For some time General Chaffee's bri
gade held Its position oehlnd the stone
fort and then began the descent to
ward the town, firing rapid volleys as
thf-y advanced. Generul Ludlow and
Colonel Mile presred closely on the
other sides, nnd fit nightfall the town
was practically In the hands of the
Americans. Tomonrow morning at
daybreak General Lawton's division
will sweep past Caney on tho direct
road to Santiago.
The country which General Lawton's
division fought offered great advan
tages both to tho attacking party and
to the defenders. It Is a broad valley
flanked on the west by towering moun
tains and on the east by n ridge about
200 feet high. At ono time it was un
der cultivation but has beon neglected
since the opening of the war. It still
retains, however, signs of Its former
prosperity in groves of rocoanut nnd
mango trees and broad fields of waving
glass, In most cases waist high. The
valleys between tht.se ridges and the
grove? were points of vantage to the
American regulars who used them to
the full with all the skill acquired on
the western plains of Amerien. The
open spaces were of great benefit to the
Spaniards, who were given a clear
sight of the American soldiers as they
advanced. It was the crossing of these
places which caused tho Americans
their heaviest losses.
The brigades of Colonel Miles and
General Ludlow had more of this work
to perform than had General Chaffee's
and they, moreover, were compelled
to make their final charges on the town
across an open space through which
the Spanish fire swept with deadly
effect.
BRAVERY OF AMERICANS.
No finer work has ever been done
by soldiers than was done by the brig
ades of General Ludlow and Colonel
Miles and they closed In on the town.
The Spanish blazed at them with Mau
ser and machine guns, but without ef
fect. Nothing could stop them and
they pushed In closer and closer dur
ing the afternoon and by the time
General Chaffee's men were in form
Miles and Ludlow wero on the skirts
of the town, holding on with tenacity
and preventing tho Spaniards from re
treating towards Santiago while Shat
ter closed In on the right.
The lighting for hours In front of
Colonel Miles' line, at an Hacienda,
known as Duro house, was very fierce.
The Spanish detente was exceedingly
obstinate. The house was guarded by
rifle 7'lts and as fast as the Spaniards
were driven from one they retieatcd
Into another and continued their fire.
It was entirely a fight with rifles, as
the Americans had only Captain Cap
ron's battery of artillery and the
Spnlards had none at all.
In this part of the fighting Captain
Capron's battery was unable to fire
for fear of hlttiii? our own men. The
place was finally taken with a rush
about 5 o'clock, the Spanish fleeing,
part to the hill and part to Caney.
where they were rounded up with oth
er Spanish troops which had been driv
en by General Chaffee.
Tomorrow (Saturday) morning at
daybreak General Lawton's division
will sweep past Caney on the direct
road to Santiago, connecting with
General Kent's and General Wheeler's
divisions and forming the right of tho
line.
When the final closing In movement
was begun at C p. m. the town of Can
ey was taken and a large number of
prisoners were captured. The Span
ish loss is 2,000 in all.

WITH THE (FLAGSHIP NEW YORK
IN THE LEAD THE 'FLEET UNDER
ADMIRAL SAMFSON STEAMS WITH
IN TWO THOUSAND YARDS FROM
THE SPANISH BATTERIES BEFORE
OPENING THE BATTLE THE AN
CIENT BATTLEMENTS KNOCKED
TO PIECES.
(Copyright, 1898, by tho Asscclated Press,)
Oft Santiago deCuba. July 2, via Port
Antonio. Jamaica, und Kingston, Sun
day, July 3. (3.4S a. in.) The men of
the flagship New York were a pretty
tired lut nfter nine hours of fighting
yesterday, when they turned out nt 4
o'clock this morning. At f o'clock the
fleet went to general quarters The
knowledge that Morro castle was not
to be spared created much Interest
and the greatest satisfaction among
the gunners.
With the flagship New York leading
the1 eastern end of the crescent ot ships,
the fleet steamed In shore two thous
and ynrds from Mm-ro until In n posi
tion to enfilade both the eastern bat
teries. At 5.45 the firing' commenced. The
ea v'ns smooth and a light breeze was
blowing. For the first ten minutes
the marksmnnshlp of the American
gunners' was splendid, one of the east
ern batteries beln so badly punished
that not a shot was fired from it dur
ing the engagement. A few small
shells from the western batteries drop
ped around the ships, but hit nothing.
The terrific fusllade of heavy shells
from all tho battleships of the Uni
ted Stales navy silenced tho fire from
the Fhorc In short order. One particu
late good shot from the flagship New
York sent a gun on one of tfie eastern
hatteiies flying high into tho air and
enormous red clouds of earth and de
bris rose all nround Morro. The smoke
from the ships drifted from east to
WCit.
THE FIRING MORE DELIBERATE.
At 6.30 the firing had become slower
and more deliberate. The Indiana,
Oregon nnd Massachusetts were sig
nalled to go right in front of the har
bor to shell the Punta Gorda bat
teries Inside, on the eastern arm. They
steamed to within a thousand yards
of the shore. The Oregon took a shot
at Morro Castle and down came the
Spanish flag. At sight of this splendid
piece of marksmanship the crews of
the different ships cheered enthusias
tically for several minutes.
The three battleships then kept up
an Incessant Are on the Punta Gorda
batteries, doing great havoc to the
fortifications and the works In course
of construction. Not a shot came from
the enemy. The other ships content
ed themselves by taking occasional
shots at Morro Castle. Its ancient
battlements were knocked to pieces
and great holes loomed up In Its para
pets. At 7.25 Admiral Sampson hoisted the
signal "cease firing," but It was half
nn hour later before the Oregon had
fired her last shot.
As the ships returned to their block
ading stations two futile shots were
flred at them from five-Inch rapid fire
guns on one of the western batteries.
CAPTAIN GRIDLEY'S DEATH.
lie Arose from n Sick lied to Engage
in Ihn Untile of.llnnilii.
Erie, July 3. The first authentic de
tails of the last moments of Captain
Charles V. Grldley have been received
hero by his family In a letter from
Paymaster Gait, who had been assign
ed to care for the Invalid and to bring
him home. The letter says that Cap
tain Grldley had been 111 for several
weeks before tho light In Manila Bay,
and rose from a sick bed to assume
his duties, t'c remained on duty con
tinuously, suffering from a rupture,
which was so aggravated that frequent
hemorrhages occurred. After the bat
tle he was ordered home. The band of
the Olympla played "Auld Lang Syne"
as the commander left his ship, never
to return.
On the Coptic, en route to Yokohoma,
the ship's surgeon Informed him that
the hemorrhages would result In death.
The captain, with unshaken fortitude,
replltd: "Tha battle of .Manila killed
me, but I would do It again If neces
sary." Twenty-four hours before death
he became unconscious, after sending
loving mcrs3uges to his wife and chll
dien. The funeral services wero held In an
English church, the American consul
making an address. The officers of tho
Coptic attended the ceiemonles In full
uniform, end the Japanese command
er sent one hundred marines as ti guard
of honor. Eight sailors from the Uni
ted States hospital carried the coffin
from the boat to the hearse, tho coffin
being diaped with American flags. The
pallbcaters were Paymaster McDon
ald, Dr. Anderson, United Slates navy;
the American consul, two English naval
ofilcers, Lieutenant Brlce, of the Ma
nila fleet, and Paymaster Gait.
