Cape Haytiex, Ilayti, Jutic 7.—The fi-litiu" before and in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba continued the greater part of yesterday from 7:45 a. m. until nearly 11 o’clock. Ten of the American warships maintained a steady and care fully directed fire against El Morro Castle and the batteries at PunfaGorda, Socopa and Cincoreales, in addition to bombarding the Spanish fleet in the harbor. The percentage of effective projectiles was very large. It appear* from the beat informa tion obtainable at tbi* place, tbo cable station connecting with San tiago do Cuba, that immense damage was inflicted on the enemy. The Spaniards admit that the bombard ment from tbo American fleet was most destructiYo. About 1,600 projectiles are said to have been fired by the American war ships and it seems that the responsive fire from the Spanish forts and ships was scarcely felt at all by the Ameri cans.

Destroyer Furor or r C'ar-.kt Sneaking Along ti:e C uban Shore and Sent Down With All Hands—At tempting to Muter Harbor.

Destructive Work of Ten American Ironclads Described. New York, Juno 7.—A special from Capo Huytien, describing the bombard ment of Santiago on Monday, says that the forts about the harbor are now a mass of ruins. The Morro is a shape less pile of ruined masonry and dis mantled guns, and the Estrella battery is utterly ruined. This result, the dispatch says, was the work cf tea American ironclads, which passed back and forth Irom Fort Cabrera on the west to Port Aguadores on the east of the harbor entrance, dis charging their heavy guus as they steamed along, so that scarcely a yard of the coast escaped the deadly cannon ading. At Agnadores the forts recently con- I structed by Colonel Ordorez, the exper:, was blown to dust and Colonel Ordureu himself was badiy wounded by- the fiV' i.ig splinters and debris. Captain San trance of the harbor are described as bo- ! c [ lu7 ' an< * lieutenant \iizar, artillery ' officers, were alao wounded. Two m- ing riddled with solid shot and scat- . tered by the explosion-of the immenso shells fired by the American battleships. The Spanish batteries are understood to have been virtually silenced and El Morro and the fortifications at Pnnta Gorda are reported to have been demol ished by the three hours’ uninterrupted hammering of the American fleet. The American attack is next said to have been especially directed against Agnadores, a small town a little to the east of the entrance of Santiago bay. The idea of the admiral, it appears, was to land troops and siege guns thereafter reducing the defenses of the place and thence to make a close assault upon San tiago, which, in view of the present conditions, may be expected to yield very soon after the beginning of such an attack. Heavy cannonading was opened on Agnadores at about midday yesterday. The latest advices received hero from Spanish sources do not imia ato the do.. : ration of the light, or whetner Ann rienn troops and siege guns were net via iy lauded at Agnadores, but from tho in form’.lien obtainable it run not 1"’ ■ doubled that the net results of Mon- day’s lighting was extremely disasivou to the Spanish defenses. It is also r idcrstood hero that tin Cuban troops muinlalucd through out tho gro&tcr part of yesterday a.u attack by laud ou Santiago and tho Spanish reports cay the garrison last heavily in killed and wounded. The military commander of Santiago ' de Cuba acknowledges the following j casualties among the land forces: Col- j onel Ordonez, Captain Sauekez, Lien-! tenant Yrizar of the artiilerv, and Peru:: j and Garcia, both Spanish officers, whoso 1 rank is not mentioned. These officers | were killed. The Spaniards also admit the loss of 21 infantry soldiers, severely wounded, and say one soldier was killed. ilut it is believed th - losses cf the Spaniards were much more heavy. In the naval force, the Spaniards say that the officer who was second in com mand of tho jiartly dismantled Spanish cruiser Reiun Mercedes and live sailors and an ensign were killed. The Spanish sailors wounded, it is asserted, number 16 men. The losses on the Ametican side, the Santiago reports say, is not known. The Spaniards acknowledge that r. great deal of damage was inflicted ou the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes and they say Mono Castle shows great, gaping breeches in its walls. Later In the day. It appears, a land ing of American troops was sffaotad naar Dai Qniri, iouis distance oast oi Agnadoros, and near th* railroad station connecting with Santiago. Later an engagement took place tie- tween the American force and a column of Spanish troops, which had been scut against the landing party. The ac counts of the battle obtainable here, be ing from Spanish sources, do not set forth the result and therefore it is to be inferred that the Americans were victo rious and that is the belief which pre vails here. There is a renort current at Cape Huytien that the flrstcla^s armored Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa was sunk yesterday by tho fire of the American ships It is said that only 500 American troop* were landed at Dai Quin, or pos sibly Agnadores, the two places being seemingly confused. It M-ems to be admitted that the fire of the American soldiers was so effec tive that the Spaniard* were compelled to flee fr<.m the fortification* they were defending. SPANIARDS CLAIM VICTORY. (jeiieml HI unto Congratulates Men hi ComniMnd at Hautiago. Havana, June 7.—Details from Span ish sources received here today of the bombardment of the forts of Santiago de Cuba by the American fleet say the warships of the United States fired about i,t00 projectile* of all kinds. This fire, the Sp&uiards add, was an- fautry lieutenants. Garcia and Perez, and 21 privates, aro reported fatally wounded. THK ORKUON. pedo boat destroyer Terror (Furor?) had been sunk by an American warship. It appears that the battleship Oregon saw a long craft sneaking close to the shore and heading toward the harbor. She signalled to her to halt and her signals were not promptly answered, whereupon the Oregon opened fire upon her. A 13-inch shell struck the torpedo boat amidships and she sunk with oil hands. The vessel is supposed to have been the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter ror, trying to make her way from Porto Rico into the harbor of Santiago de Culia to rejoin the fleet of Admiral Cer- vera, with which she arrived at Fort de France, island of Martinique. The Ter ror was comi>elled to remain at Fort de Franco owing to her boilers being out of order. On the other hand it is believed tho torpedo boat destroyer sunk may have Later in the day the American ships j t h c j.^ ror ot ' Admiral Cervera’s moved closer toward tho montu oj^ tho! fleet, as the latest reports concerning harbor, where tho o'.d cruiser Roma Mercedes had boon discerned attempt ing to place explosives about the hull oi the Merrimue to blow her to picees and clear tue channel.

Even the civil governor of Havana and all the employes of the government are at work ou the forts or batteries and all Iiersous out of work are finding similar employment. The cultivation zones are turning out very tuccessful and are proving a great relief to the poor. It is announced from the palace that a Spanish column has defeated an in surgent force near Palisade, in the province of Pinar del Rio. Tho insur gents are said to have ’.eft 17 men dead ou the field. The insurgent*, it appears, were almost naked. The .Spaniards ad mit they lost 16 men killed.

Ofllccrs Congratulating Themselves ci: tile Fact That There Is Now Very Little Sickness Among the Volun teers—tsipplies In Abundance. Ciiickamacoa, Ga., June 7.—Another big sham battle was the event of today. The battle was between the regiments composing the First division of the Third corps and about 10,000 men par ticipated. This division, which is com manded by General Fred Grant, is do ing unusually hard work and is rapidly becoming proficient in all branches of military training. Regimental and com pany drills are keeping the men of other divisions employed. The officers, one and all, t- a Gen eral Brooke dowu, are now 11 ii , r ratu- lating themselves ou the excellent ap pearance of all the camps and the per fect success of the sanitary precautions and the remarkable hcalthfnlness of the men in the camp. It is a matter of most favorable comment that in an army of more than 40,000 men there should be such little sickness, especially in view of the fact that the changes made by the men in climate, diet and water has been so radi-al. General Brooke and the officers of his staff have omitted no particular mvessary to make the park a model place in point of healthfulness. Everything is now in smooth w< rking order and the men are becoming thoroughly satisfied with their conditions. Tho supply depot has now over 1,000,- 000 rations ami has provided ample and suitable storage room for from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 more if it should 1 e needed.

It is added that the lauding was effected under cover of fire from Admiral Sampson’s fleet. With the troops were several heavy siege guus.

Washington, June 7.—Naval officers shook their heads in negation this morning at the stories that were being circulated to the effect that troops bad been landed in force at Santiago. They were so confident that the reports were premature as to warrant tbo belief that irom their knowledge of tkemovciueuiH of the transports at Tampa and Mobile it would not be possible for the troop ships to have arrived by this time on the south coast of Cuba. Tho Resolute, reported yesterday as having been at Nieho as Mole, Hayti, for a brief space of time, is not a troop ship in the strict sense of the term. She is a large transport and has on board 800 un.rines, taken to Key West on tho Panther. After lying in the harbor for several weeks, suffering from close confinement ou board ship, the men were landed and went into caii'p near Tampa where they were thoroughly drilled.

Mo., says: An excursion boat from Quincy, Ills., and Hanuibal, Mo., arrived here yesterday with about 800 negroes on board After the boat had tied up, Curtis Young got into a light with a negro woman named Lena Bryan of Haunibal. The fight became general and Marshal Moleau went on board to quell it. He placed Curtis Young un der arrest when somebody in the crowd shot the marshal in the back and ko died ip 15 minutes. There was great excitement through- ont the town when the shooting became known and the citizens began to patrol the streets armed with guns and revol vers. A posse of 50 men went on board the boat and arrested Sam Young, Cur tis Young, Bob Taylor and Charles Tay lor, all negroes, and took them to the city jail, where they were all locked up pending the arrival of the sheriff and prosecuting attorney from Bowling Green, the rounty seat. When those officers arrived today they found that Curtis and Sam Young had* been taken frun the jail and hung to different trees. It is feared that the two other men will suffer the same late.
