Vixen and Scorpion took up positions
on opposite flanks doe* inshore lor the
purpose of enfilading any infantry that
might are upon the ships.
When the ships got into position it was
■till too dark for any firing. The admiral
signaled the ships not ta Are until the
muszles of the enemy's guns ln the em
brasures could Be seen by the gun cap
. Ulna.
New York Opens the Ball
Fifteen minutes later, at 5:25 a. m., the
Mew Tork opened with a broadside from
her main battery at the works on the east
of the entrance to the harbor. All the
ships followed ln streaks of flame. The
fleet, enveloped ln smoke, pelted the hills
and kicked up dirt and masonry. It was
a magnlticent spectacle from where the
Dauntless lay.
Though the gun captains had been cau
tioned not to waste ammunition, but to
Are with deliberation, the tire was so rapid
that there was an almost continuous report.
The measured crash of the big 13-inch
guns of the battleships sounded above the
rattle of the guns of the secondary bat
teries like thunder claps above the din of
a hurricane. A strong land breeze off the
shore carried the smoke of the ships sea
ward while it let down a thick curtain In
front of the Spanish gunners.
Our fire was much more effective than
In preceding bombardments. The admir
al's ordnance expert had given explicit di
rections to reduce the powder charges
and to elevate the guns so as to shorten the
trajectory and thus to secure a plungins
fire. As the shells in the preceding bom
bardments dropped with the almost
straight trajectories of projectiles with full
charges, it was almost Impossible to plant
them. They would shoot into the air, en
circling the batteries, owing to the high
elevation, and fall far over the fortifica
tions. The effect of the reduced charges
was marvelous.
Making Short Work of It
In fifteen minutes the western battery
was completely wrecked. The Massachu
setts tore a gaping hole In the emplace
ment with a thousand pound projectile,
and the Texas dropped a shell Into their
powder magazine. The explosion wrought
terrible havoc. The frame was lifted, the
sides were blown out. and a shower of de
bris flew In every direction. One timber,
carried out of the side nf the battery,
went tumbling down the hill. The loss uf
life must have been great.
The batteries on the east of Morro were
harder to get at, but the New Orleans
crossed the bows of the New York to within
1500 yards off shore and played a tattoo
with her long eight-inch rifles, hitting them
repeatedly, striking a gun squarely muz
sle or, lifting It off its trunnions and send
ing tt sweeping somersaults in the air.
Several times Admiral Sampson signaled
the ships to temporarily cease firing, ln
order to allow the smoke to clear from the
batteries. When the order came, at 6:50,
to cease flrng, every gun of the enemy had
been silenced for ten minutes, but as the
ships drew off some of the Spanish courage
returned, and a half dozen shots were
nred spitefully at ihe Massachusetts and
the Oregon, falling in their wakes.
Throughout the bombardment the dyna
mite cruiser Vesuvius and the Porter, by
dlrection of the admiral, lay outside of the
right flank. The steam launch of the flag
ship scurried among the ships carrying
messages.
The Close of the Action
At the close of the action, a. stream of
multi-colored flags floated from the New
York, greatly complimenting the ships, am'
especially commending the work of the
Texas and New Orleans. The men of the
New Orleans raised a cheer which was.
passed quickly on from ship to ship uinil
every Jackie in the fleet was howling himself
hoarse.
The destruction and death at the western
batteries must have been appalling. Many
of the guns had been mounted dulng the last
two days. From this It is Inferred that Ad
miral Cervera had given up all hope of ex
tricating himself from the trap in which
be is caught, and had removed the guns
from some of his ships to strengthen the
land defenses.
Admiral Sampson Is highly gratified a:
the results of the bombardment. He thinks
the western batteries practically demolished.
As some of tbe guns on the eastern bat
teries did cot fire, he thinks it possible the]
were only dummies. The only regret ex
pressed is that Lieutenatn Hobson and his
companions, by their presence ln El Morro,
made It sacred. Otherwise it would now
be a pile of ruins.
The number of shots fired Is not known
when this dispatch is sent. Judging from
a position near the flagship, which during
the bombardment, with several Interrup
tions, fired 208 shots, 35 from her 8-inch
guns, 134 from her 4-inch guns and 39 from
her 6-uonders, probably no fewer than 5000
projectiles were lired, of a total weight of
half a million pounds.
Admit Their Losses
KINGSTON, June 16.—(Special to The
Herald.) The Dlarlo Marina, of Havana,
on June 7, published a story of the bom
bardment of Santiago on the Cth. The
Spaniards acknowledge 42 casualties at
Morro castle and the other batteries. One
military officer was killed and four under
officers and 21 men wounded. The officer
killed on the Reina Mercedes was Captain
Emilo Ocosta, the second in command. The
Dlarlo further says experiments are being
made with coal taken from a recently dis
covered mine at Movida, Santa Clara
province, although of acknowledged poor
quality, the Spanish claim that it can be
used by vessels, thus avoiding the heavy
expense and risk of capture of colliers.

A Suspicious Cargo
GIBRALTAR, June 18.—The Spanish
Trans-Atlantlque liner San Augustine Mas
arrived here from Cadis for the purpose of
shipping 1800 tons of coal. She has been de

a guarantee that the coal Is Intended for
purely commercial purposes.

WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY
Fear Expressed That Dewey Cannot
Control the Insurgents in the
Event of Victory
Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, June 17.—The Madrid corre
spondent of the Standard says:
"The news from Manila is most unfavor
able, and has made a corresponding im
pression. Serious misgivings are felt re
garding the fate of General Monet, at the
head of a strong column operating at some
distance from the coast.
"It is said that many foreign residents
with their families and valuables have
taken refuge on board British, French and
German war vessels, while others have
left for China and Japan.
"The Madrid press expresses surprise
that the archbishop of Manila should have
left the city at such a moment, unless it
is true that he wishes thereby to signify
his disapproval of the reforms Captain
General Augusti has promised the natives
in the hope of checking the spread of the
insurrection.
"Most of the papers express a fear that
the next news will be of the fall of Manila.
The whole question in the eyes of the Span
iards is whether Admiral Dewey can pre
vent Aguinaldo from pushing on hostili
ties against Manila until the American re
infocements arrive, since otherwise it is
supposed he will have to allow European
war vessels to co-opernte ln the difficulty
of maintaining order and saving Manila
from the excesses of the insurgents.
"Very noticeable today is the fact that the
explanations of German intervention are
subsiding, though there Is a deal of com
ment on the large German naval force
collected at Manila."
The Gibraltar correspondent of the Daily
News says:
"There is a great Indignation here at
the American threat to bombard Cadiz.
As for the rumor that Spain has sold the
Philippines to Germany, there have teen
so many irregularities in the war that one
more would not matter. So say the Span
lards."
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says: "There is every probability that Aus
tria will continue to remain neutral. All
reports as 'to Austria's impatience for
mediation are completely devoid of foun
dation."
Some Plain Talk
LONDON, June 16.—The Berlin corres
pondent of the Star telegraphs from the
German capital today as follows:
"The United States Embassy declare lo
me that the United Stales will not perml;
German troops to be landed in the Philip
pine Islands. The Germans, the Americans
added, have as little right to occupy any
part of the Philippine Islands as they have
to occupy New York. Manila and the Phil
ippine Islands, they point out, are now
United States territory."
The Had War Lord Talks
BERLIN, June 16.—The Cologne Gazette
today publishes a note understood to be
semi-official which reads as follows:
"According to trustworthy Information
all conjectures in the press and political cir
cles ln Spain which are being built on the
supposed Intention of Germany to abandon
her neutrality in the Philippines question
are entirely baseless. In Spanish official
quarters the arrival of German men-of-war
at Manila Is regarded as perfectly natural,
for the German Interests there demand pro
tection."
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press is Informed that there Is no change
and that no change is contemplated in Ger
many's attitude of neutrality. At th» out
break of the war, Emperor AVilliam said he
intended to adopt a strictly imparti?.;
course, adding that he would certainly not
do anything to disturb the relations of
commerce and blood between Germany
and the United States, where so many Ger
mans have found hospitable homes. This
attitude his Majesty still adhered to and
he has emphasized it within the past few
days by saying that nothing will be done
by Germany at Manila beyond protectins
German subjects.
The attitude of the German government,
as it was pointed out. must in no wise be
judged by the hostility of the majority of
the German press and people toward the
United-States.
Will Not Tolerate It
NEW TORK. June 16.-A dispatch to the
World from London says:
Neither Russia nor France—and still les»
England—would tolerate any attempt to
turn America's gallant overthrow of the
Spanish fleet and virtual capture of Manila
to Germany's special advantage.
International Jealousies guarantee that
America will not be troubled by any inter
ferences in the Philippines.
This is the opinion In high political quar- >
ters here.
The arrival at Manila of Admiral Died
rich, the German Naval Chief in the Pacific,
is said on best authority to be simply a desire
to witness the operations of Admiral
Dewey's squadron for naval reasons, and
cot with any political object.
Playing With Powder
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Reports re
ceived at the War Department show a con
tinued neglect of owners and masters of
vesselß of the engineer regulations bearing
on the entrance of vessels to mined harbors
after sunset and before sunrise. The offi
cials expressed a surprise at these flagrant
violations of the rules as the vessels! put
themselves constantly in great danger of
being blown up and of losing the lives of all
aboard, while at the same time they subject
the department to great annoyance, and to
the necessity of repairing the damage done.
Only last week a vessel coming Into New
York harbor deranged the cables connecting
the mines with the shore batteries a long
distance with the result that some time will
be necessary to repair the damage done.
This Is only an Isolated case. Even if the
vessels themselves do riot suffer by violating
those regulations their crews and passen
gers are ln danger, as the sentries on duty
upon a refusal of the vessel to heave to
sometimes open fire oa U\r~%der« with
their guns.

ARCO'S ASSAILANT
Believe the Man Is Insane—Was After
Colonel Hay
LONDON, June 16.—1n the Bond street
police court today John Tradtl, who shot
Count Arcovalley, the first secretary of the
German embassy here, while the latter was
emerging from the embassy last evening,
was remanded until "Wednesday next.
The police believe that Trodd (not Todd,
as first cabld) is insane, and really intended
to kill an American official, and not a Ger
man. He had been Insulted by some Ameri
cans, and papers found in his belongings
after his arrest show that lie intended to
harm Colonel Hay, the L'nited States am
bassador, whose residence Is situated near
the German embassy. Trodd mistook the
latter place for Colonel Hay's house. He
found that it was an embassy, and appar
ently concluded that It was the headquarters
of the American embassy.

WANT TO BE OFFICERS
Thousands of Applicants for a Few
Score Army Positions
WASHINGTON. June 16.—The organiza
tion of the volunteer army made necessary
the appointment from civil life of a little
less than 500 staff officers and second lieu
tenants. The enormous amount of woik
entailed upon the President and the War
Department, particularly the Adjutant-
General and his force, by these appoint
ments can be Imagined when it Is known
that for the 500 appointments there were
more than 21,000 applicants. Every one of
i the applications had to be briefed, arranged
and filed and before the appointments
were made many of the applications had
to be handled several times.
Each ono had to be answered and many
were the subject of considerable corre
spondence. The majority of the applicants
had influential support and the President,
the Secretary of War and Adjutant-Gener
al Corbin were obliged to discuss the ap
pointments personally friends Qf
the applicants. No regret is expressed.ln
official circles that the task is now ap
proaching completion.
The Suburban Handicap
NEW YORK, June 17.—The final trials
of the Suburban handicap, which will be
tun at Bheepshead tomorrow, took place
yesterday. Ornament, the winner of the
Brooklyn, who carries the top weight and
who has one of the strongest followlngs
ever a horse had, was out In good form,
and moved a mile and a half at a racing
pace, going to the quarter in 2:13 and fin
ishing the full distance ln 2:30>4. Ben Hol
liday, with his weight up, covered the
Suburban distance In 2:10';. Imp, the west
ern mare who, on Monday last with I'll
pounds up easily ran Havoc to the ground,
has a lot of supporters for a place at thu
end. She has shown that she can go the
distance without trouble, and in the trial
galloped a mile and a furlong in 1:57. Hav
oc ran his mile and a quarter ln 2:13.
Bromley & Co.'s Semper Ego won the
second race at Gravesend yesterday so
easily that he will probably start In the
Suburban. The tims was fast, and It was
the best race he ever ran. On Deck is not
likely to be seen ln the Suburban, but
Bromley & Co. may start both Typhoon
II and Semper Ego with Taral on Ty
phoon.
Semper Ego's weight in the Suburban Is
only 106 pounds. Of course Taral cannot
ride at so low a weight.
Semper Ego had 123 pounds at Graves
end. With seventeen pounds less ho may
go swiftly.
Marcus Daly's Isadore, who was third
to Semper Ego, Is in the Suburban, but
his performance Is not encouraging. J. S.
Seagram says that he will start both Hav
oc and Tragedian. Tragedian's Suburban
weight Is 126. He Is a handicap horse of
considerable speed. Ben Eder Is In tho
Suburban, but he was last at Gravesend
and Is anything but a favorite. Howard
Mann's name Is on the list of entries. He
was second to Semper Ego at Gravesend
yesterday, but he had only 110 pounds up.
Barrow Will Case
SAN JOSE, June 16.—The first move in
an arrangement to terminate all litigation
in the Barron will case was made today
when the two trustees of the trust by which
George E. Barron receives the Interest on
$100,000 signed, and George Barron liied
a petition to have Eva Ross Barron, his
stepmother, appointed to the vacancy. It
is stated that by the terms of the compro
mise George Barron's debts are to be paid
out of the trust money, now amounting,
with Interest, to about $130,000, and that the
balance, $60,000, will remain as a trust for
his benefit. The Barron estate Is valued al
$3,000,000, and litigation has been progress'ng
for several years.
More Rumors About Germany
LONDON, June 16.—According to a spe
cial dispatch from Shanghai, Admiral Yon
Dledrich, it is officially stated, left Naga
saki, Japan, for Manila on receipt of in
structions from Berlin to prevent Admiral
Dewey from bombarding the city, and also
because Captain and General Augusti of
fered the German consul the Caroline
Islands as a coaling station In case opera
tions should be undertaken, against Ma
nila.
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
WAS DEPARTMENT WORKING
HARBER THAN EVER
ANXIETY FOR THE TRANSPORTS
No News Given Out, But Important
Dispatches Are Probably on
the Way |
Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, June 16.—1n the way of
actual events there was little to record
today. No word came from Sampson at
Santiago or from Dewey at Manila. This
lack of affirmative news from the respect
ive seats of war gave rise to no apprehen
sion. The officials are resting secure In the
belief that marines at Guantanamo can eas
ily maintain themselves until the troops ar
rive, and the worst that c«n be feared at
Manila is not harm to Dewey, but to the
Spaniards In the city. The officials ln the
war department do not aye out any spe
cific Information as to when General Shat
ter will land ln Cuba, but from certain
signs of restlessness exhibited by thcjm It Is
eivdent that they would not be surprised
to have some very important news within
the next twenty-four or thirty-six hours.
The naval officials are confident Samp
on will re-establish cable communication
within that time, so news of the American
ships off Santiago should not be longer de
layed than the time required for a dispatch
boat to make the run of forty miles east
ward along the coast to the shores of
Guantanamo harbor, where the cable will
be working under the protection of Colonel
Huntington's> marines. There was an ex
hibition of feverish activity at the war de
partment today, so pronounced as to at
tract attention, even In these stirring times.
It was apparent that renewed efforts were
making to complete the equipment of the
troops already gathered at the concentra
tion point, and preparations are ln progress
to move a cumber of troops. So far, how
ever, it is stated that no orcfers have gone
out for the actual movement and what has
been and is being done ln that direction Is
merely preparatory. Very likely definite
action will follow a conference which Sec
retary Alger and the president will have
with General Miles when he arrives here
tomorrow from Tampa. The general is bet
ter aware of tbe exact state of fitness of
the troops at the southern rendezvous points
than any one else, and the president and
Secretary Alger In all probability will be
bound by what he has to say in deciding
upon the further disposition of troops. If
General Miles, as is thought to be probable,
recommends a further concentration of,
troops on the southern seaboard, the new
camp at Fernandlna, Fla., will be made
ready for the reception of the additional
troops. The officials have been forehanded
as to this camp, profiting by the experience
gained in the establishment of the two
great camps at Chickamauga and Camp
Alger. The president has not yet decided
what measure of reward will be meted out
to Hobson for his brave achievements. The
men he led have been taken care of;. Sec
retary Long attended to that himself, be
cause it was a matter entirely within his
authority, and they have been made war
rant officers, the ideal of a sailor's ambi
tion. Hobson Is to be advanced, that is set
tled. The department called upon Samp
son for a recommendation in this case, but
in advance of its arrival had about decided
to advance Hobson ten numbers, which
would have placed him just below Con
structor Linnard, when a doubt arose as to
whether the young man would not prefer a
transfer to the line. His relatives wer«
consulted, among them bis uncle, Repre
sentative Pearson of North Carolina, and
It was decided to allow Hobson to make his
choice as between the line arid staff. Stepi
accordingly have been taken to acquaint
him with the department's purpose and ask
his pleasure in the matter.
The navy department has sent to the bat
tleshlp Massachusetts a complete new
breech mechanism for one of the blgl3-lnch
guns of that sh|f>. This was due to a re
port reaching the department about a week
ago that the breech of one of the guns was
out of order. The new mechanism will be
delivered ln a few days, and can be readily
substituted for the old breech. The con
dition of this 13-lnch gun gave rise to ru
mors today that the Massachusetts had
suffered rather severely during the first
action off Santiago, and that two of the big
guns were disabled and a gunner killed.
There was; no basis for the rumor beyond
the disordered breech mechanism referred
to.
Verdict Reversed
SAN FRANCISCO. June 16.—The su
preme court has reversed the verdict of the
superior court of San Luis Obispo, which
convicted Francisco Vidal of stealing a
horse. The officer who made the arrest
testified on the trial that at the time he was
hunting Vfdal for another offense. No evi
dence was offered by the defense. The su
preme court holds that the Introduction of
evidence regarding another crime than the
one for which Vldal was on trial was preju
dicial to the defendant.
