Santiago de Cuba, July 18.—
Since 4 o’clock yesterday
morning a stream of refugees
has been pouring into the city,
somo naked, and ijll hungry
and footsore. Many had* fallen
by the wayside.
Tbe town of Santiago pre
sents a dismal sight. Most of
the houses have been sacked
and the stores have all been
looted and nothing to eat can
be had for love or money.
In the streets of the city th|p
morning, at the end of the en
trenchments, at the end of the,
breast works and every hundred
feet or so the barbed wire fences
were living skeletons of Spanish
sulkier#.
Among the arrivals today were
the German, Japanese and Por
lugeseconsuls and their families,
the British and French consu's
having arrived day before yes
terday. Gen. Pando was never
here, but 3.500 men from Man
zanillo arrived on July 3rd Tho
contact mines in the barber
were removed the day Admiral
Cervera left, but two cbaines of
electric mines, one from Estrel
la Point and the other from So
c»pß, are still down.
The armament of the shore
batteries of Santiago consists of
five brass six inch muzzle load
ers, in the Morro fortifications ;
two six inch Houtorias, from
the cruiser Roina Mercedes, and
three 21-centimeter mortars—
never used—in the Bocapa up
per battery ; two useless 21-cen
timer mortars, two 8-centimeter
muzzlo loaders and four 8-centi
meter field pieces, in the Estrel
la batterys7-millimeter
and bine 25-Millimeter Norden
fedt and one 37-millimetre
Hotchkiss in the Socapa lower
battery and two Hentorias two
9-inch centimeter Krupps and
two 15-centimeter motars at
Punta Gorda. Four Spanish
merchant steamers, the Mortera,
tbe Reina de Los Angles, th*
Thomas Brooks and the Mexico
and the gunboat Alvarado are
now in the narbor.
The market place has been
Racked by the troops.
Twenty two thousand refu
gees are quartered at El Caney,
5,000 at Firnreza and 5,000 at
Cubitas el Boniato and San Vin
cente, where they have been liv
ing for a fortnight.
In one case 500 were crowded
into one building, which is a
regular pig sty with horrible
stench. Th y used the water
from the river, where soil*-
clothing was washed and all
manner of filth ie floating.
The Spanish troops will be
camped two miles outside the
city limits, under guard, until
their embarkation.
The entrance of the refugees
were quiet and peaceful, they I
viewing their wrecked hornet
philoeophically as the fortune of
war. Admiral Sampson s last
bombardment off Santiago
wrecked fifty-seven bouses in
the city, causing heavy danaag'
