Some idea of their loss can be cathead from the fact that 150 dead iv found in one intrenchment. It is rumored that Morro Castle has been taken by our troops, but the rt-port cannot be confirmed.

Among those re ported dead are Captain O'Neill, Rough Riders: Cblonel Hamilton, Ninth Cavalry; and Sergeant Borrowe, Rough Riders, who was in' charge of a dvnamite gun. Besides capturing El Caney and Aguadores, we have taken, after a terrific fight, the hill of San Juan which commands the barracks at Santiago, and tomorrow Santiago itself must fall. Soldiers are sleeping on their arms tonight, after fighting from dawn until dark. Kent's division and Wheeler's Cavalrv are occupying slopes before and ridges overlooking the city. After Grimes' Battery had silenced the first Spanish redoubt, Wheeier's command advanced up the valley supported by Kent." The most glorious achievement of the day was the charge up a hill 600 yards from the city; by the Rough Riders. Spanish shells wer pouring down upon them, but they never wavered. Men fell on every side, but they kept steadily on until they captured the -position of San Juan, which was supposed to be occupied by 1,000 Spaniards. The Span iards were strongly intrenched with heavy artillery back of tnem and an open field before, but the Riders, and First, Second, Thirteenth, Sixteenth and Twent j-second Infantrv drove them out. The Rough 1 Riders, Seventy-First New York and Tenth Cavalry swept everything before them. They cap tured three block houses, defended by artillery, with Irresistible dash. Span ish sharp-shooters constantly fired at litters upon Svhich our vwounded were borne to the rear. Once during the fight the Seveiity-first New York was flanked by Spaniards. They beat the enemy off, but with heavy loss, mostly in wounded. Tonight the entire Spanish army has been driven into v the city proper. The Americans are in full possession of the batteries on the hills, and the city Of the Americans, Artillerymen Helm and Underwood were killed and many wounded. Firing on the extreme right was heavy. At 9:30 Wheeler's Cav alry was ordered to advance, the General, who was ill, being carried on a. litter. The cavalry were ad- vancing when notified that - the bat tle of El Canay had . been won. Meanwhile another division Of Am ericans was engaged before" Agua dores. The New York, Suwanee and Gloucester bombarded the Spanisn batteries from 6 to 9, protecting th( Third Michigan and Twentieth regu lars, who were marching up the railj road track. After a few minutes of heavy firing, the forts failed to re ply, and before the morning's work was finished, the forts were in ruins and the hills and valleys had been swept by iron hail.

A dispatch receiv ed by Correa, Minister of War, from General Linares, commanding the Spanish' forces at Santiago, says; "Yesterday the enemy advanced a league toward Santiago. I expect they will make an attack upon the city today. Cannonading began at El Caney, which was held by Colonel Veradereys with four companies, the squadron approaching into action with sj glials flying, to cover, advance of the enemy from Aguadores. The balloon survey of the Americans yesterday was not repeated. I have received no intelligence of General Escario's- col umn, which left Manzanillo nine days ago." ' Captain General Blanco telegraphs General Correa under yesterday's date as follows: "This afternoon, three warships ap proached Manzanillo. The garrison there is preparing stronger defences. Our loss in the encounter at Manzanil lo June 30th was two killed, three wounded and four f- men bruised. Among the latter was .the commander of the gunboat Delgado Panzi. '..I , Another telegram from General Blanco says: "At 3 p. m. June SOth three vessels of the enemy approached Tunas and bombarded the fort at Tayabacon. It is believed they landed arms and men at Punta Caney. General Struch has been sent against them.". , DISPATCH FROM AUGUSTI.

Dynasty In Serious Danger of Overthrow . Repnblic In Favor. London, Julv 2. The Spanish Gov ernment has decided to await the fall of jSantiago before adopting a policy in regard to the war1. The only point settled in regard to.? the Sagasta min istry is to make . support of the pres ent dynasty the supreme object.; Sa gasta will resign, sue for i peace, or prosecute the war, according to which seems best to defeat plots against the throne. Conservatives are Inclined to co-operate in this policy. ; It can no longer be denied that the dynasty is in serious danger. Op position to the, Austrian Regent and even the young King Is outskoken, especially in northern Spain, where the Carlists are strong. The Repub lican following has made the greatest strides in popularity.. Within the past week or two It has taken the form of a federation movement which is extremely popular, L especially in Catalonia, and it would be by no means surprising if! thei revolutionary spirit should, lead the coimtry into territorial disintegration. ! Spain is the least homogenous na tion in Europe, difference in dialects, customse and lack-of Intercommunica tion tending to tear the province asun der.: : -: . I" j . - - ' The latest and most significent de velopment is the speech of Robledo yesterday, indicating that he intends to join the Republicans. So far as can be seen, Sagasta will initiate peace negotiations as soon as the news of the fall of Santiago is re ceived. Then if there is popular dis turbance, as expected, lie will resign in ' favor of a national cabinet or a military dictatorship under C&mpos.
