Schley's Bombardment Is Said to Have Been Only
Preliminary to a Concentrated Attack to
Capture or Sink Cervera's Fleet
and Take the City.
Special to Kveninci Hkiiam.
Washington, June 2. Reports continue coming in regarding the
situation at Santiago de Cuba and sufficient authentic information is at
hand to justify the beliei that, while Commodore Schley's bombard
ment of the city on Tuesday was only a preliminary demonstration to a
decisive blow by the combined Sampson and Schley fleets, the Ameri
can vessels did far greater damage to the fortifications of Santiago than
the Spanish authorities are inclined to admit.
However, official reports giving details of Schley's operation are
still wanting and 110 authoritative announcement has yet been made by
the Navy Depariment.
It is known that Rear Admiral Sampson arrived off Santiago
de Cuba yesterday, and, in accordance with his instructio ns, he at
once relieved Commodore Schley in command of the entire force of
vessels operating against Santiago de Cuba and the Spanish fleet, as
signing that officer to the command of a division comprising the ships
formerly attached to the flying squadron. Fifteen war ships are at Ad
miral Sampson's disposal to pit against six men-of-war flying the Span
ish flag.
With such a force blockading Santiago de Cuba naval experts who
have heretofore contended that Admiral Cervera had a fighting chance
to escape now concede that his position is absolutely hopeless.

Tho flro of tho American fleet was

"Tho Spanish batteries at flrst an

manner upon tho part of tho American

ships concentrated a violent flro upon
El Morro, destroying It completely.
The forts nt Socnpa and I'unta Gorda

"The Americans fired projectiles of
32 contlnietors, and tho butteries, as
well na the Cristobal Colon, kept up
an Incessant responsive flro. Two shots
lauded on tho aftorpart of tho Iowa,
causing damage. On tho Spanish side
tho damage was Insignificant.
"Tho bombardment lasted 90 min
utes, and tho American fleet retired
with one ship damaged. Two shells
were seen to oxplode on tho Iowa's
stern, and thoro was flro on board an-
othor battleship. Sovoral projectiles

"Tho American squadron withdrew

"Great events are expected hourly
at Santiago. The Spanish authorities
have taken tho extraordinary precau

Tho Spanish government, according
to ndvlces received hero from Havana,

declaring that tho Americans Intend
to attack Santiago by sea, while tho
insurgents nro making un attack by

Tho condition ot tlio population ot
Santiago since tho beginning ot tho
