Kingston, Jamaica, June 7. Details of yesterday's bombardment
of Santiago potts have been received here.
Admiral Sampson was in front of Santiago de Cuba on Sunday and

The details of the battle state
at eight o'clock yesterday morning
and continued until nearly noon.
The Spanish forts attacked were
rendered practically useless.
The United States battleship
Iowa, with "Fighting Bob" Kvaus
in command, opened the engage
ment on one of the batteries below
Morro Castle.
Following the Iowa were all the
armored ships in the combined
American squadron.
The amount of ammunition
poured into the enemy's strong
holds was enormous. Fifteen hun
dred large calibre shells were fired
by the fleet.
The fort ot Port Agnodores was utterly demolished and Colonel
Ordncz, one of the Spanish officers, in command there, was badly

As the first fire from the forts slackened the American ships en

At least ten soldiers on this vessel were killed and many were
wounded, anions' them the second
The crew of the Reina Mercedes filially abandoned the ship.
It is stated that the first class armored Spanish cruiser Infanta
Maria Teresa was sunk during the engagement.
The object of the attack was to destroy the enemy's batteries and
other fortifications at the mouth of
Merrimac, which blocked the entrance, enter the bay and attack the
Spanish fleet. Whether this was accomplished as to clearing the mouth
of the channel, is not definitely known, but it is believed Sampson en
tered the harbor and gave battle to Admiral Cervera.
The firing was not only at the entrance of the port, but it was evident
that the Americans were attacking further down the coast, for sounds
of cannonading came from the direction of Aguadores, less than three
miles to the eastward of the Morro.
It was thought at Santiago that

their ships, but there is nothing to

Cape Ilaytien, June 7. The. Spanish version of yesterday's en
gagement reports serious loss to the Spanish land and naval forces at
Santiago and vicinity.
Captain Sanchez and lieutenant Trifar were badly wounded,
lieutenant Garcia and PcreV of the infantry, nsd twenty-one infantry
men and artillery men are reported so badly wounded that they will die.
The forts protecting Santiago are in ruins.
At about noon a landing party of American marines, with the aid
of the insurgents, landed heavy guns under the protection ol the
American vessels near Garquiri.
They were attacked by the Spanish infantry and cavalry, but held
their position.
