E. as a Prisoner. ` S The destruction of the Spanish squad- ron in Santiago harbor was followed by the surrender of Admiral Uervera. and his entire_ stall`. They were at once placed on board the St. Paul, and on Sunday arrived at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. A correspondent relates the_arrival as follows: BOMBARDMENT or SANTIAGO. General` Don. Jose Toral, the mili- tary commander of the City of Santiago, having refused General Shaftcr s de- mand for its unconditional surrender, ghting was resumed on land at 4.51 on Sunday afternoon, when the Ameri- can batteries opened re on the Span- ish entrenchments surrounding the city. The engagement was a short one, darkness setting in and the bugles sounding cease ring at 5.30. The armistice came to an end at noon, when the enemy sent `a ag` of truceasking for more time. A second ag was sent at 3 o'clock, with word that` General Toral would not `surrender the. city. The white ag which had been oating over a house on the enemy's lines was hauled down, a Spanish flag was hoist- ed in its place and the trace came to an end. Gen; Shatter, Col. Noble and Lieut. Miley of his staff, and the foreign military attaches, all in full: uniform, hurled to the ffront, and `orders were given for the attack to be made in conjunction with the eet.. , Asthe sldi?.lrW0!9! prop-tins. fs-' shuttle the sky lled with}. clouds` and the moun-- tops were _los_t__ to vi_;ew;`; Vivid _flssh es of, lightning and the `deep roll of thunder reveiiberating from the moun- tains i .vil:lys?'ave notice of.

A guns. _Volleys of musketry were red from the American trenches, and ` the Spaniards entrenched on the other side returned them vigorously. Heavy reports from seaward showed that the eet was engaged in shelling the city. At the sound of the navy s shots the American soldiers cheered. The rst shot red from the American side was by the dynamite gun of the Rough Riders. It was followed by Capts. Oapron s, Ginn s, Best s and Parkhurst s light batteries on the Am- erican left. The mortar battery, posted behind the extreme right, also opened and maintained a steady re. The Spanish return was weak and their aim was bad. Their ring was directed mainly against the mortars. Occasion- ally a battery placed on the Spanish] left and on a hill back of the town red a gun, and the Spaniards volleyed from the trenches more than the Americans. In fact the attack on the American side was chiey with artillery. Both lines were elaborately protected by over 22,000 sandbags, while the Spaniards were protected by bamboo poles lled with earth: The enemy had made holes through the poles and through them they thrust their ries and red on the trenches. The re of the American Gatling guns was particularly heavy, and it is believed it did great damage in the enemy s trenches. A cheer from the Rough Riders told how a shot from the dynamite gun had struck in the enemy s trenches, blowing a eld piece into the air. _It was some time after the signal cease ring was given that the batteries obeyed it. General Shaf- . ter will send Lieut. Rcckenbach, Gen. A` Guy Henry s aide, to bring up reinforce- ments from Siboney during the night. The attack will be renewed by land and sea in the morning. During the battle General Wheeler stood in front of his` tent, carefully watching the surface of a little pond in the valley below, in order that he might judge by the splashes of the shot striking there whether the enemy was getting the range of the American position. - SECOND ATTACK. At 9.30 o cIcck Monday morning, after `several range nding shots over the ridge protecting Santiago from the sea, the U. S. cruiser Newark opened re into_the city with her 8-inch guns. The signal oerps oicers stationed on top of the ridge reported the effect of the shots, 4 The bombardment lasted for two hours, when Gen; Shatter reported that the shells were mostly falling in the bay, and doing but little damage.

Uncle Sam's sailors. Every one of . ,The"big` auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 692. Spanish prisoners, including Admiral Cervera and his entire sta`, Captain Eulate, of the sunken Vizcayu, and all the surviving eicera of the . wrecked Spanish eet, numbering about 40, arrived in Portsmouth harbor at 8.30 o'clock Sunday morning. The harbor was full of steamers crowded with excursionists eager to get a sight Health Inspector Dr. -F. S. Towle made a thorough inspection of the ship and all ner passengers. The greater part of the prisoners were conned between . the decks `and closely guarded by the marines; Admiral Cervera, his sta', and the other oicers were on parole and enjoyed the full freedom of the vessel. A number of these were walk- ing the deck. -in their uniforms,` but apparently taking little interest in what was going on about them. Ad- miral Oervera was confined to his cabin with an illness that caused him to re- main in bed three days during the trip. He was able to be up and dressed and about the cabin in the morning ` when the inspector went on board. The Admiral warmly greeted the inspector, and in good English said he wished to express his great appreciation of the kindness" shown him and the other prisoners by the American oicers. There had been _nothing withheld for his or their comfort, he said, since the time he was forced to surrender against the great odds that confronted him. When asked if he wished to make any statement to` the American people, Ad- miral Oervera `was too broken down to frame any supply for some time. Then he said to Ensign Payne: No, I can- not -speak. My loss is terrible. My eet was the best that my country could give, and my menswere the brav- est of any.on earth. I was conquered grateful to my conquerors for the kind- ness ahd consideration shown us in, our trying positions. Captain Eulate was in bed. He was suffering considerably from a wound in the head which he re- ceived during the battle. There was nothing serious about his injuries, how- ever, and he is expected to soon recover. His head and face were thoroughly bandaged. The only exception made to the general parole was that of the Governor of Santiago de Cuba. He ,_was captured while trying to escape from the city to the Span- ish agship during the battle, and positively refused to sign the parole conditions. He was kept under a close guard during the trip, and no one was allowed to communicate with him. N inety-one of the prisoners,`including several officers, were sick and wounded. The majority pf the cases of sickness was caused by` exposure during the battle. When the men were obliged to jump into the sea from the sinking ve.-sels the sweat was pouring from their bodies, and the effects of their sudden plunge into the cold water on their system was serious. The most serious sickness of any kind found on the ship, was `pneumonia. Nothing contagious had developed among the_ men. The greater part of the prison- ers were clothed, probably much against their wishes, in the uniform of the ordinary seamen from the Spanish vessels was nearly naked when captur- ed. , The Yankee tars generously shared the clothing they had with their captives. Not one of the prison- ers showed any inclination to` make the least trouble for the guards during the trip. n_n-cu I -u-unpunnuna l\In n A `velar A 113 --u wwvv: 8 U]-u||U5 In any n `- Mr. S.
