We prefer to fltflit at ranges between one and two miles, and ao our line swings pattt. turns back and circles before them. We fire with eager haute and We waicli too waterspouts splashing up among the enemy's ships. They do not explode or blaze. They do not run away; their fire is as fierce as ours, apparently. Our gun captains are abtiHed for careless aiming, ai:d indeed they are so excited that one Ores at a raft of timbers, another at a range of brush fishing-traps, and others at anchored or stranded boats It is strange to think that so many shells capable of piercing a ship from side to tide or of blowing out her sides if burst with in, should scream and dive so ineffectu ally, liut when we realized that we bad not been hit by one shell in an hour's ha tile, with the Olympia always ia the lead, Dying her commodore's Hag, we lound ourselves still more surprised. Scores of shells struck the water within a hundred yards of us. Home would spash and leap into space, but most plunged sullenly. None of them rolled along the water to hull our ships, as the old rouud shot used to do. Many burst nine chips steamed across raMier slowly j near us, se4ttering cutting fragments In two column, tho Olyinpia snd the alow and aluft.

An outpost of four marines were killo.l ml thi, bodiei mutilated barbironnlv. j . -' - nw other ships binning Japanese coal sent up gre.it pillars of bl.ick smoke, but we had clean chimneys and white deck'. Our bulla and spars were all painted d:irk greenish gray, but even that did not make us qui'e as near invisible as we winhed to lie when we approached the new batteries built on the bluff chores ftnd steep island at tho entrance of this great bay. Howe took the mill die of the night to paas through, and put out all lights except the several elec tric lamps of our battle circuits. For mors than three hours, as we steamed thtonh the straight called the liueno (irainle, we knew that we were within eucy range of batteries of heavy guns placed so high that their shells miirlit plunge through our iron decks anil double iHiitoms wiih much danger to ships and engines. About 9 last night it seems a week ago, however all hands were called io (pmrters and the men stated by their guns until l.ite next morning Think we weie all a little nervous in the ii nee 1 1 1 i n darkness, dim with passing shadows and a thin moon. Now we (Ii. mid not mind aleainiiiir up and down lfoie th."-e Si'onea oniiUVrt.d- We know mure a!.uil gunning in general and Spanish gunnery in pur'icttl.ir than wedidhiSt niht. There weie quick- llardiirg higual.i from txith shores and fioui the H.md which lies between the two channels. Hilt we h.t Ihccti within range for two houra beforo tiny of our ships knew that we were uudej fire. Then the ICaleih and I'.ikiuioio waked up und sent olf three or four shells, w hich bnrs-t into a hlae Htid a bant; anoint tlie black cliffj. Alto0'e:h"r wo hear some l"i r-lwta were tired and two exploded while we ixere steatntJiy through the p.its. We failed to notice uiOHt oi them ntnl were not hindervd fur a mumei.l. then tin) moon went 'town and we crept across the gloomy buy, with the moist, tropical odor of mangrove swamps and the fining lights of li.shitig boata reminding us that we were land locked before Manila. We planned to appear before the city just at daybreak. The morning mists made-this shabby Oriental capital quite splendid, with its Old World fortifications and its huge churches of niassivo stone. We ran up our three battle flags and linked about for the two cruisers which we had been told to expect in front of the city. I counted 10 black merchantmen and no uiiin-of-war before the light would enable us to see the port of Cavite, which lay to the southwest. Then they were not two, but a do.en, big and little, moored along he bench, with a boom of chains and s in front of them. While we looked there came a white puff from the tip oj tho crescent of beach Mind which guards tho bay. Then there was a crazy screech a loud report and a heavy plunge as a ten-inch Krupp i-hell sank close to our line, seven miles away from iia tiatterv. If any ono cares to know the impression made by them who belong to tho target of such a projectile, it may ho summed up its a sort of irritation w hich ia often embodied in some such speech as this : "The fool who Ii red that shot moans to hurt somebody, und ho doesn't care if it bits mo!'1 We have got use to having people curse a little, and wo are apt to bo startled and disgusted to tho verge of profanity by such recklessness. How ever, our intentions are not the Spaniub lines begin to waver. One cruiser starts to come out to meet us, but thinks better of it and retires to a cove in the navy-yard close at hand. The admiral, El Illustrisiino Senor Don Patricio Montejo y Pusaron, is not so ready "quitter." He pushed forward with the Itsina Christina, a cruiser rather larger than the Boston. At fim he could not steer well, but bis second advance was a bra ye effort. We were about to anchor close in wben we saw that he might come out. Messages were shouted and signaled to concentiate the fir; on the flagship. His rapid fire hides him in smoke, but the shells find him out, and at last we see them strik ing. Now he stops; while steam rushes front hi j boilers, black smoke ries from his decks; his hull is heavily listed to one side. He is checked and crippled at last, and other ships are struggling to put out fires or seeking brief rests in the coves. We Pad that our ammunition is growing scarce or slow in coming up; our men are excised and hungry ; so we sound "ceae filing," and steam out into the sufrt middle spice of the bay. A Spanish reporter, stuffing Sunday extras, might have said wo were driven off. Indeed, the bin Kruno shells from the point tly alter us and the city batteries resume ihoir insane firini?. S line of our people think our work is not half done. But our men strain their eyes and each and all are soou exclaim ing and cheering over the bursting out of flames and tlie explosion of magazines- One cruiser in the middle of the lie holds I her place and Hies a flag which all at once flutters down and the red and yel low flames follow the white Eiiiotce up ward. They are burning their own ships, since they cannot fight them. The lin? is sinking and burning and the explo sions are keeping time to the progress of the flames. tliey are doing now, 14 hours after our attic.k was stopped. After noon we stood in again, tiring at the shore battery until it was silenced, add settling transits and gunboats sink in shallow water afire. The little Petrel gathers trophies, tugboats, steam launches and whaleboata. But she burns more than she brings away, and line rapid fire guns are ruined by the same blsze which burn photographs and clothing iu the officers' cabins. The Spanish squadron is destroyed, and even the goveruor-geuetal of the Philippines must realize defeat. It is just eight days since he issued his absurd proclamation about us: "Ships without discipline, manned by foreigners," and that sort of thing. Now his prophecy has been tested and his government is a hopeless ruin. The natives will sweep away Spanish rule, und this Sunday's work will be far more, important ior them than for Spaniards or Americans. I stood on the high compass platform on the for ward turret during the whole battle along with Commodore Dewey. No one else was with us, aud no one saw mote of the tlriht. He signaled to tho other ships and told me when to place the Olympia abreast of tho enemy's line. I also had to direct nn ensign had to assist in find ing the distance and I had to shout my self hoarse and stamp myself footsore in gulling orders obeyed by men deafened bv the crash of cannon. Uibbs was killed. Sampson. Tampa, June 14 Auer weeks of wait ing and preparation, the first army of in vasion to start from the Eastern shore of the United States, departed timler the command of General Shafter this morn ing at 9 o'clock. The fleet of trans ports consisted of thirty-five vessels, four tenders and fourteen conyjys. These are all now upon the Gulf of Mexico, headed southward. Washixotox, June 14 Without ref erence to the exact hour at which the army left Florida for Cuba, it may be safely said that before the end of the week General Shafter will have landed his 15,000 United States troops on Cu ban soil, and that the investment of San tiago by Und will have begun. 8a Fraxcisco. Cal.,June 13 Thirty five hundred soldiers left Camo Merrit this morning and marched to the trans port steamers which are to t.ke them to to the Philippines. The camp pre sented an exceedingly busy scene, bat there was an air of orderly excitement over the whole. The men who have been waiting so long for the order to em bark were delighted at the chance to pre pare for the voyage and prospects of go ing to the front. One by one the dif ferent companies took their departure."" and it was nearly noon when the last soldiers lelt. CaMPOPTHK L;.ITk.D ftrATVK Vlmvi. itantaxamo. June 13., vi4 Kingston, Jamaica, June 14. After two nights of hard fighting the American flag still floats over Cuban soil on the encamp ment of the marine batdlliou, and our boys s .y they will keep it there until the belated troops arrive, , if it takes until winter. Tlie marines have had the best of the fighting, but the situation is grave, and they are exhausted with repelling the almost incessant attacks. They have little chance to rest or sleep and the time of the arrival of the relieving troops is uncertain. Were it not for the guns ol the fleet tha gallant little band would have been annihilated by the Spaniards in overpowering numbers from Santiago de Cuba. As it is. thev hold their position, but they cannot move forward until reinforcements come. Tents have been struck and rolled into breast works, supplemented by trenches around the crest of the hili. The spot is Ltmently expose 1 on the ground, while surrounding it on all sides is heavy brush. The least movement in camp is a signal for instant target prac tice upon a part of the Spanish sharp shooters, whose ritles carry muchfurther than ours, though their owners rareiy hit anything they aim at. It is impossible to accurately estimate the Spanish attacking force, but it U numerous enough. About two-thirds of this force surrounds the camp nightly, and with deadly ring and spatting of Mausers make things lively, for the Spaniards are daring enough to crawl up aud take a shot at the marines from the bushes about ten yards from the camp. At uight the besiegers fiht like Indians. . . j After tho first attack Saturday night Colonel Huntington decided that an other attempt would be made Sunday night, and he caused entrenchments to be thrown up on all sides of tne camp, and iu tho trenches the main part nf the batallion last night waited for the at tack the colonel was certain would come. It arrived within a short time after dark, and Irom that time until daybreak the firing was incessant and at times very heavy.
