C Julv 26. The fast i
mail train from 'Charleston to Colum- j

wrecked shortly before 11 o'clock this
tilt? AtioUMv vwaou lituo, vvao
morning, four miles from this city.
The train was running about sixty
miles an hour, and when coming round
a curve on a very high embankment
fifty yards from the bridge over Hamp
ton's pond, the engine jumped the
track. The whole tram went down the
jj embankment, turning on, its side. The
3 engine landed in the edge of the pond.
Engineer Willis Johnson stuck to his
post and crawled out from under the
engine in a cloud of escaping steam.
He was dreadfully scalded, but will
recover. About fifteen passengers
were more or less injured, but none
seriously, cuts and bruises being the
worst. The escape of the people
aboard was miraculous. A baby was
tossed about in the first class coach,
but escaped uninjured. The South
Carolina and Georgia road runs close
by. Thejmorning train came up a
few minutes after the wreck and was
a lucky ambulance to the hospital in
this city,

Washington. Julv 27. The War
Department to-day made public the
folSowin? disoatch. received from Gen.
Shafter, in response to a query by the
department as to shins being turned
away from Santiago :
Santiago, via Hayti, July 26. Press
reports not true. I only know of three
ships having arrived one from King
ston, the others from tb United
States. The Bratton has sold its
cargo. One of the others, a- ship from
New Orleans, has sold only a part, and
the captain tells me he is goings way to
night. I think he will sell before he
leaves. The trouble is they did not
expect to nav anv dutv and arrived
here without money. The Spanish
customs as applied to Spanish sub
jects have only been collected, and
the 20 cents per ton as ordered by the
- secretary. I discovered this morning
an attempt on the part of the munic
ipal authorities to collect a local tax
of 40 cents' per thousand kilos; in this
instance, amounting to $2,500. I had
already settled this matter by order
ng its non.collection. The fact is,
ttere is no money bere to do business
and merchants are very timid about
making purchases, fearing the effect
of the Red Cross supplies, who really
are feeding the town. The New Or
leans man, for instance, brought over
twenty-nine head of cattle, which he
sold at 85 per head ; the person buy
ing kills one a day, selling the meat
at 70 cents - per pound. Of course,
only a few people buy. The first week
we wereahere people were starving to
death, and I tnink a few now are dy

am positive, however, that the cus
toms have been honestly adminis

THE FIGHTING
AT SANTIAGO
Arduous Nature of the Campaign
by U. S. Troops Fully
Explained. c
BRAVE GENERAL
WHEELER
Refused to Withdraw Though Appealed to
by Officers High in Command One
of the Unwritten Secrets
of the Battle,
Copyrighted 1806 by the Associated Press.
Before Santiago De Cuba, July
14. Probably few European mili
tary critics will appreciate the ardu
ous nature of the campaign so success
fully terminated to-day by the surren
der of all the Spanish forces east of
Santiago and the virtual abandonment
of this province by Spain. The one
word tells the story roads. The
roads are simply paths, through
the dense tropical growth, paths
along which half a dozen ordinary ox
teams haul lumber and carts once a
day: in comparatively dry weather.
There are no bridges, and, in wet
weather, when the streams are raging
torrents, these paths are almost im
passable to men on horseback, abso
lutely so to vehicles of all description.
Thus it was that all these roads along
which the troops were moved had
really to be built before a. single
wagon train could get through The
brie Iges thrown across the streams,
were repeatedly swept away by
high water. Several times com
munication was almost entirely
interrupted and the army had to fall
back on pack trains. Indeed, the base
of supplies was seriously threatened.
It is a fact that during the four days
before the surrender, it was possible to
get only one light battery of the six
brought by Gen. Randolph to the
front ; while not a single one of the
siege guns brought by Gen. Shafter
got heyond Siboney.
The Nature of the Country.
There is another vital difference in
the nature of the countrv itself. Over
the fields of operation in the Austro-
Prussian . war of 1866 and the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870 it was possible,,
in almost every engagement, to ma
noeuvre an army corps by platoons
and battalions. Here the men were
obliged to advance in single file into
the open, and at the famous assault on
San Juan hill, one column marched
out of the road into the open in the
face of the murderous artillery and
rifle fire from the Spanish trenches and
deployed for the charere on ooen
ground. No finer exhibition of nerve
could be required of a soldier than
that charge across 700 yards of ter
ritory against an enemy entrenched
upon the crest of a hill. But our men
never flinched.
As a matter of fact, it is one of the
unwritten secrets of the battle of July
1st, that the plans made the night
previous did not contemplate an
assault upon the works of the enemy
before Santiago. Two divisions, those
of General Wheeler and General
Kent, were to remain in column
on
the main road to Santiago,
force General Law ton whose
to rein
division the ex
battery to assault El Caney on
treme right, while Grimes'
made a diversion on the left.
Forced the Fighting.
But when the Spanish guns began
to drop shrapnel shells over the road
on which our column rested, and
when word came that Gen. Lawton
was successful at El Caney, it became
necessary for Wheeler's and Kent's
divisions either to advance, retreat, or
remain quiet under the storm of
shells that was bursting over their
heads. Under these circumstances
it was less dangerous to advance
and charge the enemy's works than to
stay where they were, and with a
general impulse to get where they
could return the enemy's fire the ad
vance regiments, the Sixth and Six
teenth infantry, moved out. The
others followed. There is a question
whether any specific general command
to charge was ever given. Regimental
and company commanders simply led
their way heroically forward up the
hill. The hill was taken, the Ameri
can flag planted on its crest and the
enemy driven pellmell into his inner
line of entrenchments beyond. The
men were too much exhausted to fol
low up their victory, though it has
since been asserted that had the pur
suit been continued that afternoon,
the demoralized Spanish would have
surrendered that merit,
Wheeler Alone Undismayed.
So terrific had been the slaughter of
our men 90 per cent, of whom were
then under fire for the first time
on
the nieht of July 1, the officers of
hich rank, brave soldiers, too, went to
Gen. Wheeler who was in command
at the front (Gen. Shafter being still
aboard his ship), and appealed to him
to withdraw. They predicted an awful
disaster to our arms if we attempted to
hold the position he had earned so
dearly. But the intrepid old cavalry
leader of the Confederacy said, "No."
He sooke reassuring words to those
who came with dire forebodings. ' 'We
are in an uncomfortable position," he
said, "but the Spaniards are more un
comfortable than we. Pass that word
down the line."
Gen. Wheeler even sent back a dis
patch to Gen. Shafter, telling him of
the pressure that was being brought
in hear unon him. "I presume the
same influences are being brought to J
bear on you," he wrote m effect, "but
it will not do. American prestige
would suffer irretrievably if we gave
in an inch. We must be firm." sj
The Cubans
have proved a disappointment through
out this campaign, even to their warm
est friends. They have been everywhere
except where the battle raged, but their
chief and favorite station has been near
the commissary. So persistently have
they hung about the supply stations
that theyliave come to be known and
described in language more forcible
than elegant, as the "mango-bellied
degenerates." During the various
actions since the army landed only
seven Cubans, so far as is known, have
been wounded. At El Caney, when
the pack train brought up supplies for
the starving refugees, the Cubans
oiyio-HmI nut women and children and
demanded rations, not as a privilege,
but as a right.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred the Cuban officers or men dis
cretely keep out of the way when the
time comes for redeeming a pledger.
Such information as they do procure
or volunteer usually proves unreliable.
Among the officers there are, indeed,
some noblehearted individuate, not
ably Gen, Garcia, who stands head
and shoulders above the rest, but the
rank and file are without discipline or
any idea of military duty.

THE SPANISH
PEACE PROPOSAL.
Considerable Diplomatic Fencing
Before the Point of Stating
Terms is Reached.
REGARDING AN ARMISTICE.
There is Also Likely to be Much

Operations Will Continue.
Dis-
is
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, July 27. The initia
tion of overtures for peace has" had the
effect of suspending in a large measure,
for the time being at least, interest in
the military and naval situation.
Though it is known through the open
admission of members of the adminis
tration that the present peace phase
would remain unchanged until after
another cabinet meeting on Friday,
there was still evinced a disposition to
discuss this matter in its every aspect.
Naturally the first point of inquiry
was the exact shape taken by the
Spanish presentation of yesterday.
Curiosity on this point remained un
gratifled, and must probably so con
tinue for some days to come, the Presi
dent having decided that nothing
more definite than the statement issued
from the White House yesterday, shall
be given to the public at this time.
The motive is a prudential one, and
the President has even gone so far as
to suggest to the Madrid authorities
the expediency of keeping the text of
Spanish overtures from publication at
this time. The next point of interest
was the character and extent of the de
mand likely to be made by the United
States as the condition of peace.
It is felt that the statement of terms
of peace, both from Spain and from
the United States, may be some davs
off, as there will doubtless be consid
erable diplomatic fencing at the out
set before the actual point of statins
terms is reached. A good deal of this,
for instance, may result from the at
tempt to define the methods of ap
proach to the object sought, whether
through a commission or through the
direct exchange of notes as initiated
yesterday. There will be much dis
cussiou in, all likelihood also
I Regarding an Armistice,
for it is the distinct purpose of the
Spanish authorities to secure a suspen
sion Of hostilities pending the nego
tiations for peace. It may be that the
application will be granted, but if so,
it will be under the most effective
safeguarding to prevent the loss of any
advantage to the United States and
upon binding pledges that certain
well defined objects are to be conceded
to us.
The President discussed this com
plex subject all day with various
members of the cabinet as they called
in the course of ordinary business.
Secretary Day and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith spent some time this after
noon at the White House, presumably
exchanging views with the President.
It is virtually admitted by leading
members of the administration that
upon only one point in peace negotia
tions is there likely to be serious fric
tion, and that relates to the future of
the Philippines. As to Cuba and
Porto Rico, our government feels that
that there is a reasonable certainty of
encountering little opposition to our
demands. The Spanish government
might insist upon the proposition
thrown out by the Vatican yesterday,
namely, that the United States shall
annex Cuba, the ostensible purpose
being to secure full protection for the
Spanish element left on the island,
but while this would be a vexatious
point it would yield to adjustment.
As to the Philippines
there is a full expectation of greater
difficulties to be surmounted. There
is reason to believe that these diffi
culties, like the Cuban settlement, will
be rather internal than international
in their character, at least from the
outset. The President is firmly of the
opinion that the United States has no
use for the islands as a permanent
possession. The gravest problems of
government would result were the
attempt made to annex themowing
to the heterogeneous and ill-favored
character of the large population of the
islands, while any effort to unite with
other powers in a joint administra
tion might be fairly expected to result
as unsatisfactorily as the tripartite
arrangement between Germany, the
United States and Great Britain for
the government of the Samoan group.
However, there are evidences that a
large element in the UnitedStates are
of the opinion that the islands should
be acquired by the United States, and
it is hoped by the President that be
fore it comes to the formulation offi
cially of the United States demand,
public sentiment in this country,
through newspaper discussion and
otherwise, will nave so far crystal ized
as to enable the government to per
ceive the popular demand clearly. It
may be stated that it is confidently
expected that when the two govern
ments arrive at the point of actually
fixing the terms, they will be found
much closer together than is gener
ally supposed.
Cuba and Porto Rico.
It is felt by officials that with diplo
matic formalities out of the way the
actual peace terms would require little
time for arrangement, and to-day it
was even suggested that the anomal
ous condition might be presented as
of Spain conceding as much or more
than the United States felt justified in
demanding. There is little reason to j
doubt that Spain has made up her j
mind to give up Cuba. It is almost 1
equally certain that Spain recognizes j
that she must consent also to the i
abandonment of Porto Rico. With
these two vital points passed, there is ,
likely ta be little delay on the ques- j
tion of indemnity, as there is every j
disposition here not to press with un-
due severity on Spain m this respect.
About the only reason which would !
impel this government to insist upon j
an indemnity would be a further stub-
born resistance by Spain. Speaking j
broadly, the statement was made to-day
by an influential official that a settle
mAnt. in which Snain conceded two
i vital points, namely, Cuba and Porto
i toco, ana at uie samo umo
i vital points, namely, freedom from a
I war indemnity and a retention of her
I control of the Philippines, would ap
' pear to be a just balance of equities.
Gen. Miles" Expedition.
j Nothing was heard from the Miles
I expedition to-day at the War Depart
5 ment, but Captain Higginson, the
' senior officer of the naval convoy for
! warded a .brief cablegram that gave
! keen delight to the Navy Department,
I because of the unstinted praise it ac
' corded to a popular and dashing young
officer, "Dick" Wainwright, the com
ronrW nf the little Gloucester.
! Wainwright, having been commended
tached to Sampson's fleet who has been
twice officially commenaea since me
war began. "
The War Department has reconciled
itself to the summary change in its
plans made by Gen. Miles when he
landed at Guanica instead of on the
northern coast of Porto Rico as
previously agreed upon. It is sur
mised that he was led to make this
change by reason of the detention of
his lighters and saw a Week's delay in
effecting a landing unless he went in
where he did and ran his troops and
artillery directly ashore. He has thus
avoided exposing his- troops to the
hardships suffered by Shatter's men
as they lay for so many days off San
tiago. It also suggested that the gen
eral has scored an important diplo
matic advantage in setting foot upon
Porto Rican soil before the first over
tures had been received from Spain
looking toward peace.
Military Operations Will Continue.
The departure of Gen. Brooke and
Gen. Haines from Hampton Roads
which is expected to-morrow, to rein
force Gen. Miles in Porto Rico, is a
very substantial evidence of the pur
pose of the government not to abate
the prosecution of military operations
at this stage of the negotiations. The
two generals are embarked on rapid
liners and should reach Gen. Miles by
next Monday, putting him in posses
sion of sufficient force to begin the
movement Upon San Juan at once.
The second captured battle flag was
received at the War Department with
a briefnote from Gen. 'Shafter as fol
lows: "Fragment of Spanish flag
captured by the Thirteenth United
States infantry at San Juan, July 1."
Inspector General Breckenridge,
who had been a member of General
Shafter's staff, called at the White
House this afternoon and personally
described to ihe President the condi
tions existing there when he left July
20th. He spoke particularly of the re
markable enthusiasm displayed by the
United States troops there, and of their
cool and brave conduct under fire. He
also minimized the yellow fever con
ditions and said that the troops had
fully prepared in advance for its ap
pearance. ;
WILL WELCOME PEACE.
Spain Satisfied if it Can Avoid Paying
Indemnity and Loss of the Philip
pines Sagasta's Protest.
By Cable to the Morning star.
Madrid, July 27. The news that
the government is suing for peace has
caused neither surprise nor sensation
here. The attitude of a majority of
the newspapers shows that the coun
try will welcome peace if it can avoid
the payment of an indemnity and the
loss of the Philippines, where, it is
now taken for granted, the United
States will retain a coaling station
only. A few Car lists, Republican and
Independent papers pretend that
America's demands will not be ac
ceptable. The King's illness has evoked a uni
versal display of sympathy for the
court, which, at the present critical
moment, may not be without effect on
the nation's future. '
Spain Will Protest
London, July 28. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
"Spain will probably protest against
aa attack upon Porto Rico after the
Washington cabinet had officially re
ceived Spanish overtures for peace.
Should a circular note On this subject
be sent to the powers it will contain
the exact dates of Spanish communi
cations, making it clear that the
United States deferred its answer in
order to be able to date it after the
American forces had gained a footing
in Porto Rico. , j v
"Senor Sagas ta said to-day: 'We
resolved on peace many days ago and
made known our resolutions to the
United States government. I regard
as null and void and as destitute of
'good; faith everything the Americans
have done since and I am ready to
protest against it formally.' "
Porto Rico Advices.
An official dispatch from Porto
Rico says: "On Tuesday the Amer
icans advanced in the direction of
Yauco, fighting most of the way.
Seven hundred Spanish regulars and
volunteers encountered them and an
engagement ensued which lasted the
whole night and only ceased with
dawn on the following day. The
Americans were obliged to withdraw
to the coast. ii
Wanted an Armistice.
London, July 28. A special dispatch
from Madrid says it is rumored that the
request of Duke Almodevar De Rio,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, was for an
armistice lasting until Sunday. It
cannot f be ascertained whether his
action was spontaneous, in order, if
possible, to forestall the invasion of
Porto Rico and the fall of Manila, or
whether it was due to advice from the
Vatican and the powers.
The Carlist Movement.
London, July 28. One of the chief
supporters of Don Carlos says that
Don Carlos would issue a proclama
tion the moment Spain is committed
to a demand for peace. ' 'All the north
of Spain is eager and ready," said he.
"We lack neither men nor arms. Don
Carlos will be proclaimed in Catalonia
and the Basque provinces without the
necessity of. striking a blow. Then
willy come the time for war." '
