Tbe Brat repot U of Ute fight nt San
tiago urn days ago did nut give, it
aeeoa, a correct Impression oC the
engagement. The Associated Trese
report, sent May .11, from ou board tbe
llagsMp Brooklyn off Santiago, ard
transmitted by way of Jamaica on
Juno 1, gives tbe following account of
the buttle, to which Schley’s official
report la appended.
Commodore Sob ley determined to
teat tbe banshee of Santiago do Cube
to-day and ascertain UtoIrTocaUon and
capacity. At.lO o’clock ha transferred
hie flag to the Massachusetts, and
went on board that jehip.
At 1:15 o’clock the Msaeeehu sella
signalled Cbu Iowa aud tbe Mew Or
leans to form column nod follow. A
bourse due east was steered until the
ships were about 7,000 yards Trout tbe
■bore, and then, circling about, they
beaded due west, tney passed, star
board aide on by the form. Tbe heavy
13-inch guns of the Massachusetts and
tbe 12-Inch gnos of the Iowa were or
dered to open on the Cristobal Colon,
which waa shoot 1,000 to ‘J/XKI yards
insido tbe Morvo, while tbe New Or
lean's large calibre guns were to open
on the forts, so as to draw their fire.
Ttio trenownaas of the h or Our an
trance and tbe speed of ibo ships
which mads too knots, allowed of tbe
Cristobal Colon Doing a target fur only
a few minutes. In that lime it la
believed site was hit twice, but not
serloualy damaged.
The eullrs set of forts, some six in
number, opened fire, and the object of
the expedition waa attained.
So tea of the mortem gonr, with
smoke loss powder were aimed well, hut
of all the shots fired ant one did any
damage to Commodore Bchley’a ships.
The Cristobal Colon replied to tbe
lire, but all of ber shots fell short.
The Americas ships flrwl not more
than four tocod* from i.belr heavy
guns, consuming in all fifteen minutes
for the lire. Tbe Spaniards Brad more
than four hundred rounds, keeping up
tbe fire wtiru lire ship* were rally two
mile* onl of tbelr range.
During tire action Commodore Schley
occupied a position near the forward
11-inch turret of tire Massachusetts,
and watched Mi* shells go whistling by
as tlie sbipi got in the linn of fire of
the batteries, ns unconcerned as
though In no danger of It.
At &80 o’clock tbe Comtnolure was
back on tbe Brooklyn.
It la evident that tbs Spaniards have
fortified Santiago vary carefully and
well. There ’.ire a number of modern
gone there, evidently of EaglUb and
fc'renoh make, and they use amok lets
powder, which makes It difficult to lo
cate them. It will take a heavy bom
bardment to dislodge the batteries and
the -Spanish fleet
UKTORT KBOW SC.ni.KY.
Washington, D. C., Jono SJ.—The
Navy Department has bulletined the
following report from Commodore
Schley:
“Secretary Navy, Washington;
“Made rooonnofsaaoe this afternoon.

was returned without delay by the
