The Swinish soldiers appear to be
upon the verge of starvation. They
hove been terribly underfed for week*,
and their general emaciation shows It.
They have had nothing to eat but rice,
> a little cofree and sugar.
ALL THANKED GOD.
That They Did Not Fight Through the
Trenches.
Our troops found the entrance
streets to Santiago wonderfully en
trenched, and oil are thanking God that
they did not have to take the city by
assault. It would have meant fearful
slaughter on both sides. Across each
of the main entrance roads were four
wire entanglements md six barricades.
To have broken through the wire and
carried the barricades one after the
other would have meant terrible fight
ing. On the San Juan road in particular
Oil assault would have been disastrous.
More than 25,000 troops are prisoners
of war. The territory turned over in
cludes Ports Azerraderros, Santiago,
Aguadores, Guantanamo, Baracoa, Sa
nto, Bones. Sagua de Tanamo, Mayari,
and Cape Maysl lighthouse, facing

arms and accoutrements of troops. To

American commissaries until our gov

transport them to Spain.

QUILTING DOWN.
Things Are Not So Active in Wash
ington Today.
Wnsningion, July 18.—With the San
tlngo campaign aucfOWfully dosed,
there Is n lull In the activity at the)
war ami navy deportment* today andj
the officials th u- expreaaed the belief
that -ae rtirring developments of the,
; last few weeks will now give way to the
details of occupying HantiSßO, shipping
the apentab prisoners to Spain, coping
with the yellow fever situation and
preparations for the next aggressive f
campaign. No reports from Shafter ot,
Sampson were received during the
early part of tho day. A dlspatih was
received last night stilting that the en- j
tire number of fever cases r,p to that
time did not exceed 300. This lowered
the estimate one-half from that given
in the press dispatches and was a
source cf satisfaction to the authori
ties. Cel. Aided, acting surgeon gen
eral. says the situation Is much less se
rious than appears nt first glance, for,
whole the aggregate of 300 seems large •
It Is relatively small when it is remcm-
I bered that there are 25,000 troops at
the front. Surgeon Artbur.of New York,
hr* been given carte blanche to got to
gether at the earliest moment, a large
number of contract doctors and nurses ■
familiar with fever cases. They go to
Santiago on the Resolute, which leaves
tomorrow.

i* the only formidable fortifica
tion In the harbor and It to only so in
appearance, since not one* gun was
mounted within the crumbled walls
Tn fact, all the batteries, masked and
hidden, dwindled In their terror-lnsplr
!lng qunlit!.?s as the Inspection grow
'closer. Crowning the hill on the west
■side ot the entrance were the fiimous
|«-!nch rapid firs guns from the Rsina
! Mercedes.
The Gatling Guns.
These are ugly-loking and danger
ous, Below on ihe brink of the moun
tain on the west sh :re of the entrance
wma some galling guns. These were
the ones which poured such « bitter
lire Into the Merrimac Directly east
of Morro on ihe crest of ihe bluff, were
six big guns, one or two of >"birh wet"
dismounted. The Estrella hnttery arc,.
Its small neighbor further In showed
no guns. On the -nslde slope ami on
the hill westward soroo hnstily con
tructed but very comforting casemate*
we-ro seen into which the Spanish gun
ners retired when our ships opened
fire. When the firing ceased the gun
r.jrs only had a few steps to climb to
the 6-Inch rapid-fire guns. At Punta
Gorda there are two 4-lnch guns, one
shove the other, neither protected by
oven sand or earth. These command
ed the harbor entrance pretty well, but
could have been silenced by one well
directed heavy shell. Commodore
Schley has again expressed th? belief
that our fleet prrobably could have en
tered the harbor without th*' loss of a
single ship. The mines might have
stopped the Ingress by sinking the
leading ship, but this is a chance of
war and not so gruvo or serious as
would have been the situation had
there been good batteries properly
manned in the harbor.
