Santiago ami his wife would not. The
report was that the city would be bom

No one seems to know accurately the
strength oi the Spanish forces in the
city and its environments, but 9000 ap

for duty. Streams of wounded have
been Sowing in day and night from the
firing lines. Every fifth house in Santi
ago is an improvised hospital.
The eailing of Admiral Cerv era's fleet
bad a bad effect on the soldiers. They
were dismayed when- they saw the war
ships no longer in the harbor, and felt
themselves abandoned to fate.

HALIFAX,. July 6: News reached here today of the
collision of the French Trans-Atlantic Company's steamer La
Bourgoyne and the British ship Cromartyshire in a fog about
sixty miles south of Sable Island. ' ' '
. Of the 833 aboard the Bourgoyne but 200 wej-e saved,
170 of whom were passengers. There was only one woman
among the saved. . The purser and three engineers were the
only officers rescued.
The log of the Cromartyshire is as follows:.
July 4, 5 a. m. Dense fog, position of ship sixty miles
south of Sable island, ship under reduced canvass going four
or five knots per hour. Fog horn kept going regularly every
minute. Heard steamer's whistle on port bow, which seemed
to be going very iast. We blew horn, were answered by
steamer's whistle, "when all of a sudden she loomed up
through the fog on our port bow, crashed into us, going at a
terrible speed. Our foretop-mast and maintop and gallant
mast came down, bringing with it the yards and everything
attached. , I immediately ordered the boats" out, and went
to examine the damage. Four of the boats were completely
cut off, and the plates were twisted. The other ship disap
peared through thefog. Our ship was floating on her col
lision bulkhead, with no immediate danger of sinking; we
were at work immediately to clear the wreckage of the ship
on the starboard quarter which was hanging over the star
board bow in danger of punching holes in the bow. Heard
the steamer blow her whistle. We answered with the fog
horn. The steamer' threw up a rocket and fired a shot We
threw oip a rocket and fired several shots, but neither saw
or heard anything .
About 5:30 the fog lifted somewhat, and we saw three
boats pulling toward us, with the French flag flying. We
signaled them to come alongside, and found the ship was La
Bourgoyne, from New York for Havre and had gone down.
We laid to all day and received on board about 200 surviv
ors from amongsthe passengers and crew. There were re
ported to be in all about 600. About 3 p. m., another steamer
hove in sight, heading. westward- ' We put up signals "N.
C." (want assistance). The steamer bore down toward us.
She proved to be the Grecian, bound from Glasco for New
York. The captain agreed to take the passengers aboard and
tow my ship to Halifax. '
A dispatch fiom Captain-General Blanco
says : ' ,
"Cervera's fleet at 11 o'clock Sunday
J morning broke the center of the line of
the American fleet and proceeded at full
steam In a westerly direction. '
The Spanish minister of marine, Se
nor Aunon, is quoted in an interview as
Baying :
"I am highly pleased with the feat of
arms performed by Cervara's squadron,
which left Santiago the moment Cervera
judged it opportune to do sol"
After eulogizing the Spanish admiral,
the minister of marine added :
"The equadron could only leave the
harbor at a given point, and when the
moment arrived Cervera seized it. I
have never doubted that he wocld do so.
Bat of course it is difficult to foresee the
result. The American squadron was
taken by eurprise. After attacking us,
the American admiral detached five of
his best ships, which steamed for some
time abreast of onrs, but they were soon
left astern. Only the Iowa and Brook
lyn were able to follow our fleet, but it
is certain they will not do so far, for
fear of reprisals on our part. Cervera
deserves great praise."

SPANIARDS ATTACK
OUR LINES
Their Attempts to Rout the Americans
Ended in Failure and With Great
Loss of Life---0ur Loss Light.
Santiago, Jnly 3. Lite last night the
Spaniards made a fierce attack on the
American lines. In several places our
men were driven back, bnt the main
body rallied and drove the enemy into
their own intrrnchmente. Our soldiers
were concealed in riSe pits and had the
advantage so that their loss was light.
On the other hand the Spaniards were
exposed and must have suffered a ter
rible loss.
A horrible fentnre of the war is the
manner in which the sick and wounded,
are killed, and even the eurgeons wear
ing the red cross are not spared by the
treacheroua foe.
Up to the present the number of"
killed amounts to almoBt 1900.
Upon receiving the news of the vie
tory of Sampson over Ceryera the sol
diers almost went wild and cheered
madly. . "
When the Spanish fleet was leaving
the harbor the only severe firing of the
day took place. They tried to get the
attention of our men, but the'Americans
answered eo readily that the firing soon
stopped, and was only carried on at in
tervals the rest of the dav.

of the Spanish capital still believe Cer

Sum at Santiago
Her flans are Thousht to Have Been to
Blockade the Harbor.
WASHINGTON, July 7. The following tele
gram dated off Santiago, July 6tb, was received from
Admiral Sampson:
About - midnight last night the dismantled
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes was seen by the
Massachusetts, which vessel had a searchlight on the
channel, coming out of the harbor of Santiago. The
Massachusetts and Texas opened fire, and the Span
ish, vessel, was sunk opposite Estrello cove. I am .
inclined to think it wTas the intention to sink her in
the channel and thus blockade the entrance. If so
the plan was defeated by the fire of the ships, as she.
lies on the edge of the shore. '
