Kingston, Jamaica, June 16.
The defenses of Caimanera have
been demolished by the battleship
Texas, Captain J. W. Philip ; cruiser
Alarblehead, Commander B. H. Mc
Calla ; and the gunboat Suawnee,
after a bombardment of ninety-five
minutes.
Advices so far received of the en
counter, which are indefinite, say
not one of the American vessels was
injured, and none of the men
wounded.
Admiral Sampson is preparing to
attack the new batteries being erected
on a high point at Cajobaba Point.
There is an open bay at tills place,
eight miles east of Santiago harbor,
and but a few miles across the country
to Santiago city. Tiiere is an Iron
pier at this point, and is well adapted
for landing troops. The Spaniards
are at work throwing up fortifications
to prevent the landing, but Sampson's
fleet will spoil their prospects.
DYNAMITE HURLED.

Hpcdlll to KVKNINO HUIMLD.
New York, Juno 10. Tlio Sun prints a
special from Kingston, Jamaica, giving the,
details of tho bombardment of Santiago on
Monday night by tlio dynamite guns of tlio
Vesuvius, of which so much lias been ex
pected, Tlio vessel ciept within 000 yards of tho
mouth of tho harbor, and, after discharging
1,500 pounds of ammunition at tlio Spanish
sbips and tho fortifications within, escaped
unharmed. Tho Vesuvius took up lior posi
tion and fired three shots in as many minutes,
one from each of her aerial dynamite tubes.
Tho report was a peculiar one, soundiug liko
a cough. Thero was no recoil perceptible.
Tlio first shot struck near tho ridgooftho
bills, and exploded with a tremendous roar
not unlike tho thunder ot a shell. An im
muiiso column of red earth was blown straight
up into tho air to a height of two hundred
feet.
Tho eU'cct of tho second shot, which struck
higher up on tho clill', was similar to that of
tho llrst. Tho third shot went over tho hill
and probably reached tho supposed location
of tho torpedo boats in the harbor.
Only two shots wero flred in answer by tho
forts, and these woro apparently delivorcd at
random.
Tho men on tho Vesuvius aro delighted
with thoir work and aro auxious to try tho
guns again, They expected and were eager
to go fitraight into tho harbor.

ONLY ONE MARINE WOUNDED
The Attacking Force Marched on the Span
ish Camp, Containing the Only Well
Within Six or Seven Miles, and a Brief
Battle Followed After the Spaniards
Fled Their Camp Was Destroyed by Fire
and the Well Filled With Earth and
Stones.
Kingston, Jamaica, Juno 1C. The
United States marines under Lieu
tenant Colonel Robert W. Huntington
made their first aggressive movement
against tho Spanish guerillas Tuesday,
and completely routed tlio enemy. Tho
forco of marines wns under Captain
Elliott, and co-operating Cubans wero
under Colonel Laborda. The com
bined forces razed a Spanish camp
about five miles from tho American po
sition, destroyed the only well in tho
vicinity and killed about 40 Spaniards.
Ono American marlno was slightly
wounded. Two Cubans wero killed and
four wounded.
It Is Impossible to estimate tho num
ber of Spaniards ongaged.owlng to their
guerilla methods of fighting, but it Is
believed there wero at least 400. Tho
marines behaved splendidly, their
markmanshlp being excellent, even
under tho severe flra of tho enemy.
Tho captured camp lay about flvo
miles southeast of the rifle pits of tho
marines, and was an Important baso
for the enemy, as It contained the only
well within six or seven miles. Lieu
tenant Colonel Huntington decided on
the attack early In the day, and at
about 8 o'clock the forco started across
tho mountain. The march up and clown
the steep hillsides under tho glaring
tropical sun was a sovere tost of en
durance for tho marines, and beforo
tho battlo ground was reached 22 mon
bad received medical attention. All
were ablo, however, to reach the posi
tion before tho lighting ceased.
The marines wero compelled to
march In single file, following tho
mountain trail. Mcanwhilo the Cu
bans darted backward and forward, to
right and loft, on tho scout. It was
from a hilltop the Americans caught
sight of tho Spanish camp lying on a
ridgo below them. It consisted of
ono largo house, tho officers' quarters,
Biirrounded by numerous "shacks" and
huts, all clustering about tho precious
well.
Tho Amorlcans began a cautious ad
vance, and wore within 200 yards ot
tho enemy beforo tho crack of a rlflo
from the Spanish lines announced that
the Spaniards had discovered them.
Tho troops quickly moved Into lino
of battle, with tho Cubans on tho left
flank. Tho enemy's bullets wero
whizzing viciously over tho Amoricnns,
but tho marines settled down to tholi1
work as unconcernedly as though at
target practice.
Very few Spaniards wero in sight.
They wero lying behind the huts and
in tlio brush, but the puffs of smoko
revealed their positions and enabled
tho Amorlcans to do effective: work.
For 20 minutes both sides maintained
a terrific tiro. Tho Spanish shots wero
generally wild and spasmodic, whllo
tho Americans coolly fired away, aim
ing carefully and shooting to kill. For
the most part tho Amorlcans' firing
was done individually, but at times tho
ofllcors could direct firing by squads,
always with telling effect.
It was beginning to look as though
n bayonet chargo down tho slopo would
bo necessary to dlslodgo the onomy,
when suddenly the latter began to
break for a thicket a hundred yards
further on. Llttlo groups cou.d bo
seen fleeing from tho camp, separating,
darting through the brush and zig
zagging to escapo tho bullets.
It was then tho American fire bo
carao deadly. Man aftor man could bo
seen to fall in a vain rush for shelter,
and tho tiro from tho Spanish becanio
scattering and almost ceased. Two
Cubans lay dead and four wounded,
and Private Walker, of Company D,
had to limp to tho rear, with a slight
wound In his ankle.
Tho easy victory put tho command
In high spirits, Tho llttlo black Cuban
warriors waved thoir machetes and
howled curses at tho Spanish in sav
age fnBliIou. Thoir firing hnd been
wild throughout, but they all displayed
the utmost contempt for tho Spanish
bullots, apparently bolng absolutely
without fear.
As tho onomy began breaking camp
tho Dolphin, which lay out at sea, was
signaled and began pitching shells to
ward tho thicket for which tho Span
laulB were making. Moanwhilo Llou-
