Washington, July 3.-From the
heat and carnage of the battlefield
of Santiago, where for the last
three days the Ameriean forces
have pressed forward against an
intrenched arm}'-, General Shafter
to-day sent the following dispatch,
summarizing the situation :
Playa del Este, July 3.
Secretary of War, Washington :
Camp near Sevilla, Cuba, July 3.
-We have the town well invested
on the north and east, but with a
very thin line. Upon approaching
it, we find it of such a character
and the defenses so strong it will
be impossible ta carry it by storm
with my present force, Our losses
up to date will aggregate a thous
and, but the list has not yet been
made. But litte sickness outside
of exhaustion from intense heat
and exertion of the battle of the
battle of the day before yesterday
and the almost constant fire which
is kept up on the trenches.
Wagon road to the rear ?B kept up
with some difficulty on account of
rains, but I will be able to use it
for the present. General Wheeler
is seriously ill and will probably
have to go to the rear today.
General Young also very ill
confined to his bed. General
Hawkins slightly wounded in the
foot, during sortie made by enemy
last night, which was handsomely
repulsed. The behavior of the
troops was magnificent. General
Garcia reported he holds the
railroad from Santiago to San
Luis and has burned a bridge and
removed some rails; also, that
General Pando has arrived at
Palma, and that the French consul
with about four hundred French
citizens, came into his line
yesterday from Santiago. Have
dircted him to treat them with
overy courteey possible.

good, they lie on their side ; if bad
they wi'l stand on their pmall

Friday, July 1, 4 p. m., via Pori

2, 5 a. m., and Kingston, Jamaica,
7:11 a. m.-The battle of Santiago
has raged all day, and at 4 o'clock
this afternoon 15,000 American
troops are thundering at the ou toi
fortifications of the doomed city
Since daybreak General Shafter't
army has fought its way aer?se
two and a half miles of bitterh
coutested and strongly fortified
country, and the entire line from
left to right is within gunshot ? ol
Santiago town._
The American loss thus far -if
estimated at hospital headquarters
at twenty killed and fifty wounded
but it will be hours before the
death roll can be accurately
given. Lieut. Col. Patterson, ol
the Twenty-second infantry, ' if
the only officer known to have
been wounded, and he is not fatal!)
hurt.
The Spaniards killed and wound
ed are undoubtedly by hundreds,
The Spanish strongholds -ol
Caney and El PaBo have fallen,
and the fort at Aguadores, just
east of Morro Castle, on the coast;
has been blown to ruins by the
fleet. Wit h the exception of about
a thousand troops, who are guard
ing Baiquiri and Juragua, thc
entire army is engaged, togethei
with 4,0-30 of General Garcia^
Cuban troops. The men foughl
gloriously, and if the same measure
of success which attended today's
engagement follows the fighting ol
the next twenty-four hours, the
Amerioan flag will fly from Santi
ago's wall on Sunday. Officer?
and men are fully convinced that
the city will be theirs by tomorrow
night.
The battle began just at daylight
at a point about eight miles from
Juragua and four miles northeast
of the outer fortifications of San
tiago;-, -Thefgeuenvr order -for.'au
advance was issued by General
Shaf ter at dark last night, and by
midnight every man in the army
knew that a desperate struggle
would come with the dawn. The
news put the troops in a fever of
excitement and the night was
spent in cheering and singing,
the popular strain being, "Ther'll
be a hot time in Santiago tomor
row."
At 4 o'clock this morning .hun
dreds of bugles rang out the
reveillo, and before the sun had
risen the great line was complete.
To the extreme left was General
Duffield, with the Thirtythird
Michigan, his command having
reached the Aguadores bridge by
train nexc to the north to the
northeast was General Kent's divi
sion, a mile and a half from the
sea, and held as a reserve force.
The centre of the line was held by
a cavalry division, Which, until
General Wheeler arrived at noon,
was commanded by General Som
mer. Owing to General Young's
illness, Col. Wood, of the Rough,
Riders, commanded^ his brigade,
which consisted of the First
volunteers and the Tenth regular
and one battalion of the Ninth
regulary, all dismounted with the
exception of two troops on the
extreme right, under General
Lawton and Chaffee, fully five
miles from the sea. It had been ar
ranged that General Duffield
should make a feint of attacking
Aguadores in order to draw atten
tion from the main movement,
and at 5 o'clock General Lawton's
troops moved forward, led by a
battery of the First artillery under
command of Captain Allyn Cap
ron.
Every man in the army carried
3 day's rations and ammunition
to match, and every one knew that
he was not expected to return to
camp until Santigo had fallen.
The first shot was fired from the
I attery at 6:40 by Captain Capron,
tvhose son, Captain Allyn K.
Capron, of the Rough Riders, was
killed in the battle at ' Sevil.!.,
rbe shot was directed at Caney,
?vhere the Spaniards were in force,
md it fell in the heart of tbe town.
Hie firing continued foi twenty
ninnies without response. Mean
time the cavalry division had
novod forward on the Main
santiago trail, beaded by a light
sattery of tho Second artillery
inder Captain Grimes. The 1
novement of this battery was a
heartbreaking task, owing to the
nud in the valley and a steep hill.

After the enemy had b(
driven from El Paso, t^enty-c
shots were fired by Captain Grir
and Captain Capron from tl
position into the outer fortificath
of Santiago before a response cai
When it did come, however,
came with unexpected accura
the shots being from three a
five-inch rapid-fire rifles, eviden
taken from Admiral Cervera's w
ships and mounted behind
fortifications. The Spanish gi
ners raked the hill on which
Paso stands and which meanti
had been made the headquarters
General Summer and the Cub
Generals Garcia, Castello, Cap<
and Rabi, One shell struck a lai
sugar ?store house, on the i
corrugated roof of which stood I
Cubans viewing the fight. 1
roof fell and all the Cubans wi
wounded and three of them w
die.
A detatachment of 200 Cube
went forward from El Paso, a
then Col. Wood, with the Rou
RiderB, the First and Ter
cavalry, started down the hillsic
straight for the enemy's fortifh
tion8.
Captain Grimes's battery pour
a steady fire into the Spaniards
protect Col. Wood's advance. T
dismounted cavalry passed
their way through the tangl
grass and underbrush and hi
way down the hillside selected
good spot to halt, and from the
opened and maintained for twen
minutes a hot fire. The opposi;
batteries banged away, Capta
Grimes sending a storm of le;
down into the oater fortificatio
and the Spaniards pounding awi
at the hilltop wilh vicious persi
tence.
Most of the Spanish shells we
over the hilltops and fell in
ravine beyond. Here Bever
detaohments of Cuban troops we
stationed as reserves and befo
they could be moved seven i:
surgen ts were seriously wound?
and several slightly hurt. At tl
same time, two. Americans we
killed and nine wounded. Tl
Spaniards used smokeless powde
and shot with much more ac cu rac
than during the previous engagi
ment? The wonder is that mac
more lives were not lost, as ti
opposition batteries were less tha
two miles apart.
Col. Wood's command behave
with great bravery, firing stead
and deadly volleys, with th
enemy's shells screeching an
bursting over their heads.
Twenty minutes of fearfully he
work silenced the Spanish battei
ies. Ten shots were sent into ther.
after they ceased firing, but ther
was no response, and it is pre
sumed that the guns were dis
mounted or the gunners driven ofi
Away to the left General Law
ton's division, with Chaffee's mei
and Capron's battery, was mean
time fighting fiercely with thi
enemy entrenched in and abou
Caney. The Spaniards contest?e
every inch of ground bitterly anc
fought with unexpected coolnesi
and courage, but the irresistible
onward mcvement of the Ameri
cans slowly forced them back upoi
and beyond Caney. About ll
o^clock the terrible fire from Capt
Capron's guns and the muskets of
the men broke the Spanish line
and a retreat began toward the
line of outer fortifications. The
enemy took the trail known as the
main Santiago r jad and Captain
Grimes's battery immediately be
gan pitching shells in ahead of the
retreating men while a detachment
of 2,000 Cubans headed by Garcia
started to cut off the retreat.
No report has yet been received
from them. A large detachment
of General Kent's reserves was sent
to aid General Garcia in this work
and it is probable that fierce fight
ing occurred.
All this time General Sumner
had commanded the center, owing
to General Wheeler's illness, but
about 11:30 General Wheeler
Btarted on the two miles journey
to the front jp an ambulance.
About halfway to the front he met
a number of litters bearing wound
ed. The veteran, under protest by
the surgeons, immediately ordered
his horse, and after personally a?r
?istiug the wounded into the amr
bulance mounted and rode onward.
The men burst iuto frantic cheers,
svhioh followed tljo general all
along the line. By noon, although
srery ill, General Wheeler had es
tablished headquarters at the ex
treme front and centre of the line,
iud still holds bis position.
The hardest fighting of the day
teems to have been on the right
lank, and heayy casualties are rer
jorted from there. The advance
?here was more rapid than at other 1
points oil the line, and General
Dhaffee's brigade was the first to
3ross the little San Juan River
?lose to the line of outer fortifica
tions.
At 2 o'clock Caney had not been
antered by the American troops,
but they had pushed on past it and
it was theirs at any time they chosa
to march into it. At that hour
General Shafter, whose headquar
ters for the day had been three
miles to the rear, went forward to
assume personal command of the
operations. Some surprise is ex
pressed that he did not wait for
the siege guns before beginning
the final attack, as these guns ?are
still on the beach at Baiqui. He
decided yesterday that they were
unnecessary, and determined to j
strike at once.
The only movement of the day
which did not meet with success j
was General Duffield's attempt to
occupy the seavillage of Agura
dores. The Gew York, Suwanee
and Gloucester shelled the old
fort and the rifle 'pits during the
forenoon, drove all the Spaniards
from the vicinity and bowled over
the parapet from which flew the
Spanish flag, but owing to the
broken railroad bridge. GeneTal
Duffield's troops were unable to
get across the river which separted
them from the little town, and
were compelled the go back to
to Jurague. It is probable that an
effort will be made tomorrow to
repair tho bridge and a complete
movement attempted.
Gen. Wheeler, who made a
reconnaissance for half a mile
beyond the skirmish lines near
Santiago Tuesday, finding that he
was unable to secure the desired
view through the luxuriant
tropical foliage, dismounted and
climbed a tree. A Major General
in the forks of a tree, surveying
the Spanish outposts through his
field glasses, was a speciale that
gave some idea of the wonderful
energy of the dashing ex-Con
federate cavalry leader. This
feat of agility in aman sixty-two
years of age put to blush many a
younger officer in his staff.

EDWARD W. SCOTT.
PRESIBENT.
Issues all Forms of Policies
at Lowest Possible Bates
Consistent with Safety.
AND without making special medtion of each of its many popu
lar plans of insurance, we desire to invite the careful examina
tion of all concerned in Life Insurance to THE PROVIDENfS
TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-? SPECIAL
POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Twenty years is a long time. This is true in life insurance, as
well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life insurance poli
cies are contracts for a period of twenty years. They are made so by
insurance companies to supply*the the needs of the insuring public.
When a man takes a whole-life, twenty payment life or twenty-y?ar
bond, he considers its cost to him during twenty years, and the settle
ment which he can make at the end of twenty years. Experience and
statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued
longer than the twenty-year period.
Men take on large lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The en
suing twenty years cover the period when their families are growing
up and beingjeducated ; it also covers the period of their greatest busi
ness activity. It covers the time when their families and business in
terests require^the greatest amount of protection.
A man's requiiements are not the same at 60 years that they are '
at 40 years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have
changed, or the necessity for insurance has disappeared.
* In view of these facts, The Provident Savings issues a policy at a
fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection
for that time. The premiums on this policy are less than one-half the
premiums charged for a twenty-payment life. If a man wants insur
ance/or protection only, this policy will snpply his wants admirably.
He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a
future which he may never reach ; especially when he has need for
this deposit, and more, too, in his business.
To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30
takes one of these Policies for $1,000 at the regular term rates of $14.91
per annum fortwerity years. This policy can be continued, after
twenty years, without medical re-examination, at rates for the age
then attained.
