from th-e staff crowning the heights

testing the defunct sovereignity n of
Spain, in this part tof the world, was
witnessed by a few Spantetijand Amer

New iYork, Vixen: and Vesuvius lying
within,' a few hundred yards, of the
harhor entrance. ! Almost Immediately
after the flag was hauled down steam
launches commanded by Uuetenants
Hobson and Palmer jentered the 'har
bor, penetrating as far the firing- sta
tions of the submarine mines, -i These
mines were judged t to " be -not. so for
midable as' 'expected land later. 1n, the
afternoon they, were I all; exploded un
der1 the, supervision of the Vixen. r .
It was seen that two mines had been
exploded at thej time of the entrance
of i the Merrimac into the Channel of
Santiago harbor, but it is not thought;
probable that either; of. them had any
thing1 to do -withi thel sinking oft. the
craft. " s ; '
-t Six or seven fine steamers in i the
harbor fall as prizes .to the navy and

r Vithi Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn
Lieutenant J. H. Sears; the-flag Ueu
teriant. Lieutenant ! B. W. Wells, .the
flag secretary, and three invited cor
respondents of the;i Associated Press,
went; into, the harbor- on a steam
launch which moved slowly in i order
to make close observation of the Span
ish forts and batteries.-; ;.Everyi one
expressed ' satisfaction at the faat that
Morro castle was -not demolished f by
the .bombardment,! Captain Cook saying:-..
"Wt? need El Morro as an object

T The old fort stands on the bluff, ter
race; fashion. . Fran the water's edge
to the brow of the beetling cliff there
are Tiuge caves formed by the action
of the waves. It would appear, m hotw
ever that only one bastion was knock
etl.io piees whileithe''queer little sen
try boxes, dating back to the Sixteenth
century,! escaped almost intact. ' .; '
. Morro castle is the only imposing for--tification
in the harfjrir and it is only
so in appearance ivsijice mot a gun is
mounted withTh;.-afc n the crumbled
walls. In fact, all the batteries,? mask
ed land open, dwindlec in . their terror
inspiring qualities! vas the inspection
grew closer. Crowning the hill on "the
west side of . the entrance -vere 1 1. ; the
famous 6-inch rawd-firing: guns from
the 1 Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes.
These were ugly looking' and dangeri
ouS;nvhile below on brick foundations
on the -western shore? of the entrance
were .some revolving guns. These were
the ones which poured' puch . a bitter
fire into the Merrimac. .1 Direcllyeast
of Morrd castle, on 1 thepreSt of the
plateau-like . cliff, were' six 'big guns,
one-or two ofjvi'hicV were' dismounted.
. J -iOTHEr FORTIFICATIONS:- : .
Tfie Estrella ' battery and - a small
neighbor f urthef. in 1 showed no guns,
while -the famouS-Cayo Smith filled the
islet with blue, I white 11 and' yellow
houses situated in groves of flowering
trees, some or the ouildings looHing as

mates were seen, into which thel Span
ishlguriners wre wont- to retire when
our! ships opened fire. When the firing
ceased the guhnetsj only had a few
steps -to climb to. i their 6-ineh rapid
firing tguns which almost always fired
a few spiteful farewell shots. 1
At Purita Gorda, there were two 4
ihch guns, -one above the other, neith
er jprotected by' even sand or' earth.
These commanded the harbor entrance
pretty well, but, they could have been
silenced by one well directed, heavy

At the firing stations on the west

in person the American party
met ia Spanish artillery captain, who
jwas "courteous, but gloomy. Commo

later, that this was : not! true, and it

" THE WRECKEj .WARSHIPS." .
? Captain Cook, o;f th Brooklyn, is au
thority for the statement thatj the for

which she stranded and that hjer heavy

The captain also! says this erUiser Will
almost surely, -be safed and form an
addition to the Ignited States navy,- a
trophy 6f the-glorious July 3rd.
The Cristobal Colon! may also be saved-although
a good I deal depends on

difficnl, to capture i the town fortifica
tions.! His' previous successes, ftt ii
pointed out,! were easy because of: the
nature of the country, which, suited his
.sklrmishers4. It I is further alleged
that the principal points captured by
the insurgents were obtained posses
sions throug.h treachery. j
i The insurgents are now. bringing-ar-'tillery
around by-sea from Malabon,
which! is tedious ? and troublesome

strict iblockade; lest; ,it be invalidated
by permitting neutrals to visit Cavite
and Malabon, and send, and receive1
mails I enclosing surrepitious Spanish
dispatches. , ;He lias threatened ; to
station warships opposite the! city j
which might precipitate .hostilities, as
the Spanish ! officers declare they will
certainly fires on any American within
range, regardless of th6 consequence.'
A . Spanish! steamer, Ihe j Fillipinas,
has just been bought in here in the
hands of the insurgents. It -appears
that she was bn the northern coast and
escaping to C113- "with a native crew
on board when tne i latter revoi tea,
killed the Spanish officers and brought
the vessel i to Cavite.! i - i -
.The Spaniards are! daily employing
convicts to felli trees and burn, huts on;

is unchanged, s The : stock of flour Is
