With Amkhr an Aumv, JJefore San
tiago (via l'layu del Este), July 2.
lour iucmlxTs of tho Tweiity-flrnt regi
ment of regulars wore killed .in the.
fighting- bi t w en Sevilli aud 'Aglia
dores, Avliilu 10 other Americans all
members of the Twenty-first, woo
"Wounded.
Both the American and Sxjanisli fleets
early joined in the battle. Wliilo Ad
miral . Sami).son's men cro . reducing
the recently, em placed batteries at
Aguadores, Admiral Ccrvcra's fleet was
Lufling Khclls iu the 'direction of tho
American and Cuban lines.
Major General Shaffer yesterday
morning began with great vigor the at
tack on the outer defenses of Santiago.
From three directions tho American
forces advanced toward tho doomed
city. ...
While General Lnwton and General
Wheeler were attacking Caney, north
east of Santiago, General Kent was ad
vancing "toward Aguadores. General
Garcia, with his Cuban troops, at the
Kirao time approached Caney from tho
southeast, and the other divisions of the
American anny pressed toward Santi
ago from the east, our forces thus pre
senting a solid front from the coast to
General Lin ires northern defenses.
Before the fighting had been long
under way the American and Cuban
forces gained advanced ground. Foot
by foot the enemy was driven back into
the village.
It was evident after the first hour's
fighting tliat General Shaffer had
gauged the strength of the enemy ac
curately, and that he would Ikj able to
drive the Spaniards into Santiago at his
pleasure. It was with difficulty that
the commanding officers restrained tho
ardor of our troops until the hour for
beginning the attack came.
The enthusiasm of the American
forces was intense and their spirit
quickly spread to tho Cuban troops. All
had shared the belief of General Shatter
that Santiago could be taken by a
sharp, persistent attack, and they have
been impatient to advance.
Two batteries of light artillery, acting
under orders from Major General Shat
ter, who went to the front at the head
of the troops, began the battle of Santi
ago by attacking Caney.
General "Joe" Wheeler, with a de
tachment of the cavalry command, and
General Garcia, with his Cuban tnxjjjs,
quickly joined General Lawtou's men
in the advance upon Caney. The Span
iards for a time fought desperately to
prevent Caney from falling into tho
hands of our forces. It was a vain ef
fort. They loldly faced the enemy's
fire, holding their ground tenaciously
and pressing forward whenever an op
portunity to gain an advanced footing
presented itself.
In their operations about Aguadores
the Americans were greatly encouraged
by the work of the fleet, which poured
a heavy fire into the lines of the Span
iards. Admiral Sampson ordered the New
York, Gloucester and Suwanee to attack
the batteries recently placed to the east
of Morro. The vessels engaged the
batteries at short range and left only
the scarred hillside to show where the
batteries had been located.
Brigadier. General Kent, who com
mands the center of the general line of
attack, started the Twenty-first regi
ment of regulars toward Aguadores at
the same hour General Lawton's men
advanced toward Caney. Upon these
troop3 fell the brunt of the battle to the
southeast of Santiago during the early
hours' of the day. General Kent's
forces has sustained the . heaviest loss
of the engagement thus far.
There was desperate ' fighting about
Aguadores. Acting under orders from
General Linares, the Spaniards at that
point returned the American fire with
a fury that aroused . in our .men the
fiercest determination.
As the enemy was pressed back to
ward Santiago, both ' at Caney and at
Aguadores, the progress of our forces
was in entire harmony with the plans
of General Shaf ter. Our lines thus be
came more closely knit, and now the
Americans and CuBans present a con
tinuous' front frpni the southeast . to the
north of . the city. ........ .

these not many killed. Shafter."
In reply to a message asking General
Shafter how many transports could be
sent back to Tampa in order that rein
forcements might be sent him, Adjutant
General Corbin Lite last night received
the following reply: "Colonel Humph
reys has been ordered to return as many
transports as possible at once."

It was a bitter cold night, aud a
night policeman in Lombard street no
ticed a light in the bank window, and,
going to the door, rapped.
"Is that you, policeman?" asked n
voice from within.
"yes," was tho reply.- " ' '
"Come in and .have a drink, " paid
the voico.
The policeman stepped inside ami en
countered a dapper little fellow sitting
at a desk. -
"I've teen detained tonight straight
ening up accounts."
The policeman warmed himself at
the ronsing fire that blazed on the
hearth and went out again on his beat.
An hour after the policeman came that
way aud, still seeing the light through
tho window, rapped again.
"Is that you, policeman?"
"Yes."
"Come in and warm yourself."
Tho policeman accepted tho invita
tion. "It's a howling cold night," said the
clerk.
"You're right, sir," said tho police
man.
So he got another drink and returned
to his beat. He was rather surpii.-id

Snow That Is Alive.
A most curious phenomenon' in the
northwest of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever a thaw occurs.
During the winter the snow is dry
and crisp like sand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of theso insects,
but as soon as a thaw conies they are
found everywhere in largo patches,
looking like a dusting of soot.
They are generally known as snow
fleas or snow lice and have slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely dis
appear when it freezes again, arid not
a trace of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival and
are probably analogous to the "red
snow" of arctic regions.
