" HEAVY FIGHT AT SANTIAGO.
A ashingtbn, June 7. While
nothing official has been announc

planned to begin the reduction of
batteries at 6 yesterday - moraine:
and also intended-to land forces in

nine hundred marines while joined

T 1 j mi m
cruiser rxesoiute. ne marines
landed yesterday. .
Cape Haytien, June 7. No de--tails
of the fighting of Santiago
yesterday have been received. It
is believed, judging from the tone
of cablegrams between Blanco,
Pando, and Cervera and Madrid
Sanpson has achieved a great
victory, inflicted considerable
damage to Spanish ships. The
biggest guns of the American fleet
were used in the bombardment
yesterday which continued for
four hours. Spanish reports
mention a repulse at Aguadores
and hurried movement of troops
from Santiago to the seacoast to
repel the attacks.
"New York, j June 7. Journal
bulletins says Sampson achieved a
glorious victory at Santiago. Ten
American war ships began firing
at 7:45 and continued until eleven

were fired. Fortifications at
Santiago were v completely " de
molished. Many Spaniards were
killed. The Spaniards cruiser
Reina Mercedes riddled and sunk.

battled with Spanish. Spanish
infantry and cavalry were routed.
Several Spanish generals were

London, June 7. The Madrid

government doesn't know where
it is going and i nobody in ' Spam
toresees the outcome 01 the situa
tion which is far graver than con
fessed. The ship of " state is
drifting and the cabinet is unsolid.
Confusion is complete. When the
truth is known serious com
plications will follow.
"Ministers tails but never act.
They are absolutely impotent and
are simply trusting to chance to
extricate them from the troubles.
A campaign in favor of peace has
begun and will be pressed by the
progressive populace. The queen
has been unjustly attacked by Cas
tella who is already posing as
president of the republic . I doubt
his ability to instigate a movement
asrainst the renrenc v. It is difficult
to say whether the regency wil
bo overturned."
