And Common Black Powder Smoke Made a Good Mark. New York. July \ dispatch to the World, dated El I’.i-.i. Cuba. n.tr Santiago, noon, Juy 1. says: The lii 't artillery tight of the campaign has just been ended by the silencing of the Spairsh batery. Th. wounded are still being picked up as this despatch is hurried away. At 7 o'clock this morning there was a sullen boom. It was the lirst shot. Promptly the Spanish began io answer the challenge from the forts and trenches. At 7:15 Crimes battery opened on the Spanish troops to the right of the San Juan block house. The common powder used by our troops smoked and was a fine target for the Span ish field battery, which was probably serv ed by Cervera’s marines, judging by the accuracy of their aim at us. while our smoke gave the enemy our range, flrimes' could not locate the enemies’ guns, which used smokeless powder, except approxi mately. but was atistled as to the Span- position. Our men worked like mad. The Spanish lire gradually slackened ami in less than an hour ceased altogether. iß.Uery A. of the Second artillery de serves the credit for the victory. The bat tery loss of officers is as follows: I'nderwood. private. illelm, private. Wounded -George C. Heary, first ser geant. Veile. sergeant. Cornford, sergeant. Kene. corporal.' The battery was supported by the Rough Riders. 1,000 Cubans with a Hotchkiss gun. a detachment from the Seventh cavalry and a squad from Company C, of the Sec ond cavalry. The most of the Spanish shells flew low over the cast batteries’ position and ex ploded through them. The Rough Riders had about ten men wounded, among them R. Champlain, whose left elbow was badly smashed. The Cuban leader Gonzales, reports that the Cubans lost about pventy killed and wounded. GREAT VICTORY . DEARLY BOUGHT- How the American Soldiers Swarmed the Heights of San Juan. New York. July 2. —iA copyrighted Ji«- pa’eh to the Evening World, dated two miles from Santiago no July 1. says: San Juan heights have fallen and the way is now opened for an advance on Morro It is a glorious victory but very dearly purchased. The place is the strongest Spanish outpost. It is well fortified and vallently 1. Gilded. Th- position is an excellent one. The San Juan hill is steep and an artillery battery' is located on it. It also Is occupied by th. barracks and other buildings but the Am’tlcan troops stormed the heights and Spanish valor had to yield to the bull dog tenacity and courage of the 'Anglo- Saxon. As 1 write our troops are swarming up the hill and covering It like ants. The Spaniards .are demoralized. The fighting has been ot the hardest kind an-1 our troops have suffered severely but the enemy’s works are in their hands and they do not count the cost. El Caney is also ours The general ad vance, which began at 3 p. m., was suc cessful all along the line. After driving the enemy out of Caney, the troops took possession of the village and destroyed the Spanish fort by which it had been defended. The Spaniards fled Into the city of Santiago, where they now are. The losses on both sides are heavy. A bursting Spanish shell almost annihilated an entire company of our troops. SHAFTER ADMITS LOW ESTIMATE. Calls for a Hospital Ship and Additional Doc tors. Washington, July2.—Owing to many conflicting reports of the losses of the America;! troops in yesterday’s battle it was thought best by 'the war department offit iai- to make public the text of Shaf ter’s last dispatch, received this morning at 4 o’clock. It is as follows: “Siboney, via Playa del Este.—iFear I have underestimated today’s casualties. A large and thorough hospital ship should be sent her at once to care for the wounded. The chief surgeon says he has use for for ty more medical officers. The ship must bring a launch and boats for conveying the wounded. [Signed.] "Shafter.” YESTEHDAY’S BATTLE. The Details of the Fight As Given by the Special Dispatches. New York, July 2. —A dispatch to the Herald from the headquarters of the American army before Santiago, July 1, via Playa del Este, says: Major General Shafter this morning be gan with great vigor the attack on the outer defenses of Santiago. From three di rections the American forces advanced to ward the city; while Gen .Lawton and Gen. Wheler were attacking Caney north cast of Santiago, Gen. Kent was advanc ing toward Ague-dores. Gen. Garcia, with his Cuban troops, at the same time ap proached Caney from the southeast and the other divisions of the American army pressed 'toward Santiago from the east, our forces thus presenting a solid front from .the coast to lien. Lmares northern de fences. Four members of the Twenty-first reg iment of regulars were killed in the flght» ing between Sevilla and Aguadores while sixteen other Americans, all members of the Twenty-first, were wounded. (Both ithe American and Spanish fleets early joined in the batle. While Admiral Sampson was reducing the recently emplaced batteries at Aguadores. Admiral Cervera’s fleet was hurling shells in .the direction of the American and Cuban lines. Two batteries of light artillery, acting under orders from Gen. Shafter, who went to the front at the head of troops, began the battle of Santiago by attacking Caney. From this vilage a dircet road leads into Santiago and the advance of our .troops will be irresistible when they gain posses sion of the road. Wheeler’s Cavalry. Gen. "Joe” Wheeler with a detachment of his cavalry command, and Gen. Garicai with his Cuban troops, quiekly joined Gen. Lawton’s men in the advance upon Caney. The Spaniards for a time fought desperately to prevent Caney from fall ing into the hands of our forces. It was a vain effort. Before the fighting had been long under way the Americans and Cu bans gained advantage. Foot by foot the enemy was driven back into the village. It was evident after .the first hour’s fight ing that Gen. Shafter accurately guaged the strength of the enemy and that he would be able to drive the Spaniards into Santiago at his pleasure. It was with dif ficulty tha the commanding officers re strained the ardor of our Troops until the hour for beginning the attack came. The enthusiasm of the .American troops was intense and their spirit communicated itself quickly to the Cubans. All have shared the belief of Gen. Shafter that Santiago could be taken by a sharp per sistent attack and they have been impa tient to advance. Brunt of Battle. Brig.-Gen. Kent, who commanded the centre of the general line of attack, started the Twenty-first regiment of the regulars towards Aguadores at the same hour that Gen. Lawton's men advanced toward Caney. Upon these troops fell the brunt of battle to the southeast of Santia go during he early hours of the day. There was desperate fighting about Aguadores. Acting under orders from Gen. Linares the Spaniards at that poin-t re turned the American fire with a fury that aroused our men to the fiercest determin ation. They boldly faced the enemy's fire, holding the groud tenaciously and press ing forward whenever an opportunity to gain an advance in the footing presented itself. In their operation about Aguadores the Americans were greatly encouraged by the work of the fleet which injured heavy fire into the line of the Spaniards. From t he Si-a. Admiral Sampson ordered the New York. Gloucester and Sewanee to attack the bat teries recently erected to the aest of Mor ro.Th vesels engaged he batterits at short range and left only the scarred hillside to show where the batteries had been lo cated. The Massachusetts and the New YoYk then opened with their big guns, plunging a heavy fire into the enemy's line. Com mon shell and reduced charges were used forthe 1 purpose and they demoralized the enemy's ranks. The shells were fired at a high elevation so as to clear the tower ing coast ridge. The Newark joined the fleet today at noon, and the lowa steamed within 1.000 yards of Morro castle. Ad miral Sampson signalled from the flaeship for the lowa to engage Morro. but a few minute's later, just as the lowa was about to open fire the annulling pennant was hoisted. The Harvard arrived this nievrnning At Al tares with 1,800 Michigan volunteers. They were hurried ashore and hastened to join the American line. As the enemy was prosed back toward Santiago, both at Ca ney and Aguadores. the progress of our forces was in entire harmony with the plans of Gen. Shafter. Our lines thus be came more closely knit and now the Americans and Cubans presented a con tinuous front from the southeast to the north of the city. On the right of Caney now is Gen. Lawon with three brigades, the first under Col. J. Vanhorn, command (Continued on fourth page.) THE MACON o ‘ssaxSnoo J° ws. DEEP CONCERN IN WASHINGTON Conferences Are Being Held Between the Secretary and Others. HELP 10 THE WOUROED. The Surgeon General Will Send Out More Hslp at Once—Miles Watches His Map. Washington, July 2. —The profundest concern throughout military and official circles marked the opening of the second day on which the battle of Santiago is be ing fought. The desperate character of the fighting is now fully known. The information is, in aldition to the report made by Shafter last last at midnight, when he roughly esti mated the casualties at about 400. Later reports, official and direct from the field, indicate that these estimates are far too low. Shafter had not up till this moring plac ed and exact figure on the loss, but made it clear that the first estimate of 400 was much short of the actual loss. The Associated ’Press dispatch from the field give the caualties as about 1,000 is in line with Shafter’s later intimation, al though he sets no figure. Military authorities were alert early in the day despite the fact that they bad been up well through the night in anxious waiting for the latest reports. Alger and Corbin held a conference as soon as the secretary arrived. Then Sur geon General Stonebridge was sent for and joined the conference. It is understood that the surgeon general will send a large force of medical officers, some forty or fifty, in addition to those al read with Shafter. Neither the secretarj' or General Corbin will add anything to the information given out at midnight. An impressive seriousness pervaded all military centers . The news that our gal lant men had pressed their way foot by foot up to the commanding plateau of Co ney, was welcome indeed, but there is now a full realization that it has been done In the face of the withering fire instead of a skirmish of the right flank, as indicated in the later dispatches yesterday. It is now clear that a general engage ment and a terrific one has been fought under a broiling tropical sun and in the tangled vegetation northeast of Santiago. (Miles and his staff were together early in th- day. Spread on the general’s desk was a map showing the minutest details of every roadway, trail and elevation about Santiago. The general traced the line of operations and the probable line of action in progress. He spoke gravely of the fierceness of the fighting yesterday. From a stragetic point of view Lawton’s taking Caney yesterday gave an elevation on the right wing serv ing the double purpose of diverting the en emy from the left and opening the way to our left wing and also giving our troops a more commanding sweep of the enemies northern defences. Incidentally, it acomplished the impor tant purpose, at least to some extent, of preventing Pando coming .lawn with re inforcements from the north and turning our right flank. SUB PLENA FOR MEETING. Os the Georgia Bar Associa tion Sent Out bv Hon. Walter Hill. The Georgia ißar Asociation will meet in Atlanta on July 7 an remain in session two dayg. Mr. Walter <B.

INSURGENTS VICTORIOUS Battle Fought in the Pinar del Rio With the Span ish, SPANISH SOLDIERS DESERT And Offer Their Services to the In surgents—The Report to the ’Cuban Junta. New York, July 2. —According to advices received by the 'Cuban junta, Diaz, in command of the Sixth Cuban army cprps* in Pinar del Rio, had recently a battle with the Spanish troops in the western part of the province in which he came off victorious, taking a great many prisoners. The Spanish loss was heavy while the Cu bans lost less than fifty men. After the battle half of the company of soldiers from the Spanish garrisons march ed to the Cuban camp, with their guns and amunition and offered their services, giv ing as their reason for desertioi ill treat ment on the part of the officers and insuf ficient food. ■General Diaz, has with him about 5,000 soldiers well armed and equipped and a large number of reconcentradoes, who are without arms. The food supply is xery short however, and it is with great diffi culty that frequent foraging expeditions keep the camp partly supplied with food. There has been much suffering among the reconcentradoes, but it has been greatly alleviated since they left the cities and joined the insurgent armies. Four Spanish spies were caught in the Cuban camp, and after a speedv trial by courtmartial, they were sentenced and promptly shot. The Spanish prisoners are kept under close guard, but are fed and well treated. Hitherto it ha s been the practice to release the Spanish captured after depriving them, of their arms and amunition, but it is now the purpose of General Diaz to keep the prisoners in or der that they may be exchanged for Cu bans and United States soldiers taken pris oner.' by the Spaniards. The battle which resulted so favorably for General Diaz’s forces was one of the fiercest engagements which have taken place in Pinar del 'Rio, and lasted the greater part of a day. Both sides fought in guerrilla fashion, but the Spaniards were forced to withdraw before the heavy and constant fire of the Cubans. Nearly all the amunition in the Cuban camp was used up and the insurgents will be in a poor condition for another fight unless they can get new supplies. WAR BALLOON Used for the First Time in Historv of This Country. New York, July 2.—A dispatch to the Press from Siboney, Cuba, June 30, via Playa del Este says: .For the first time in the history of the United States a war balloon was sent up this afternoon, making observations of in calculable benefit to General Shafter's forces in the field occupied bv the enemy and over the doomed city of Santiago. It was manned by two members of the signal corps. Os all the ’reconnoissences made to the Spanish lines by spie from our army no information obtained by them has been so valuable as that obtained by the observers in the balloon. Since the embarkation of the troops and the march made toward Santiago mem bers of the signal corps have been anxious to try the balloon and today permission was given to try it. Preparations for send ing up the air ship were speedily made, the hydrogen gas generator for charging was brought and the wagon containing the reels for cable which was to hold it cap tive was put together. When everything was ready two mem bers of the signal corps entered the car the guy ropes were released and the bal loon, like some monster of life, shot up into the air while the soldiers cheered their comrades who were going on a mis sion full of peril. The balloon was sent up from an open elevated space not far from General Shafter’s headquarters near Sibo ney. While it soared in the air, seeming to almost touch the cloudless sky fully 1,800 feet above the ground, it was in plain view of the army and the warships lying off the coast. They watched it with the greatest interest, and no doubt it was with mixed feelings of wonderment and fea* - that the officers and men In the Spanish army, in Cervera’s fleet and the people of Santiago viewed it soaring over the ter ritory held by them. The men in the balloon were soon aware they had been sighted by the Spaniards, for messengers ran* about and shots, evi dently from the main guns, were aimed at them. Tbe swaying motion of the gas bag prevented any of the projectiles from hit ting it. and the Spaniards soon gave up, evidently not ■wishing to waste ammuni tion. Everything that could be desired was seen by the men in the balloon. In the harbor of Santiago Cervera’s ships lay placidly at anchor, and now and then launches could be seen passing back and forth after them with their telescopes tbe Spanish warships, the camps and the city were brought into close range, but all the information gained is in the possession of General Shafter and some of the mem ber; of his staff. Sketches and maps were drawn showing the enemy’s loci'ioi. CASTLE OPENING. Next Monday Night Will be an Important Event.

SPANIARDS DO NOT BURY DEAD Leave Their Wounded on the Field to Die While Buz zards Abound. BODIES WERE MUTIBILD, One of Men Who-Took Part in Fight at Guantanamo Says Positively that Was Done. New York, July 2.—As soon as the Pan ther, which is now at the Brooklyn navy yard, receives her armament it is ex pected that she will join the new flying squadron of Commodore Watson, which Is being formed to harrass the Spanish coast. The Panther will carry a complement of 284 sailors and marines. The battery will consist of six 5-inch and four rapid-fire guns. It was from the Panther that the first body of troops, consisting of 600 ma rines, was landed at Guantanamo. A man on the Panther who was present when Surgeon John Blair Gibs was killed told the following story of the killing: “Surgeon Gibbs was shot while dressing a wound. The bullets were spattering about like hail. Gibbs had cleaned the wound of the man and was dressing it when he was struck. The bullet, a Mauser, mushroomed. It went in at the left temple and came out at the right. Where it went in the hple was about the size of a lead pencil. Where it came out it was as big around as a tea cup. “He was leaning over at the time and fell forward on his face. When picked up he was dead. “The stories that our men were not mu tilated Is wrong. I know what I am talk ing about. Sergt. Smith’s body was muti lated. His heart had been cut out when we found him. He was so badly chopped up that all we could do was to bury him where he was. “The day of the last fight Capt. Elliott’s men closed up a well that gave the Span iards drinking water. After the fight we found forty-seven dead Spaniards that had tried to reach a stream to get water. They had dragged themselves to it and when on its bank they died. “We sent the Baby McCalla—that is the name of the Marblehead’s launch —to, the city of Guantanamo under a flag of truce and asked the Spaniards to bury their dead. We told them they might send men out and they would not be interfered with. They did not do it. We sent them word again but they refused to bury their dead The buzzards were about in swarms and the sight was a sickening one. “The treatment of the Spanish wounded is terrible. They leave them on the field to die. There ire no ambulance corps in their army and their soldiers are naked. Their guerillas wear a roughly fashioned palm leaif hat; another palm leaf is a mask, a cartridge belt, a machete, a rifle and a pair of shoe soles tied on like sandals, is their make-up. The Cubans go about the same way, and make no prisoners. They cut the Spanish throats and smile.” LONDON PAPERS. Opinions of Weeklies on the War Situa tion. London, July 2. —None of the weeklies doubt that there will be an American vic tory at Santiago de Cuba. The Spectator, however, says: “l’'i« evidences are tint Gener il Linares does not intend to fight with his back to the wall.” The Spectator believes that he will blow up the squadron, abandon San tiago and commence a guerrilla warfare. The weeklies concur also in the opinion that Admiral Camara will be too late to save the Philippines. The Speaker thiuks the dispatch of an American'squadron to the coast of Spain may arouse enthusiasm in Spain, but this is not likely to continue when t bombard ment is once begun. The Best K< medy for Flux. Mr. John Mathais, a well-known stock dealer of Pulaski, Ky., says: “After suf fering for over a week with flux, and my physician having failed to relieve me. I was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and have the pleasure of stating that the half of one bottle cured me.” For sale by H. J. Umar & Sons, druggists.
