The thlspatcit speaks for Itself and , as Adjutant - jutant General Corbin saId , tells what a desperate fight our gallant troops hav beeti In. It 'na received at nooti today , after a lull of ucariy thirty-six hours in tue out- cml InformatIon from the IhId. At first , shieii It became known that the Anierlcan commander had reported the tIe- fenses to ito so strong that It. would he un- itnsslble to carry theni by storm vitht hIs present force there was momentarily a wave of 'heep apprehensloti. flut this was not shiarel by the mIlitary authorities here. All their energies , nil their attention , was turneth to meetitig thie sItuation as pro- sunteti by ( lelieral Shafter. There vas neither time nor disposition t take account of what had gone before , when It was apparent that the Americati army hail fought Its way inch by Inch utider a llazlng sun , through a tlense tropical vcge- tation , steadily advancing and beating back the foe. taking position after poSItIon , until , as General Shatter reported , the town was well Ilivested on the north and east by the long drawit out him of AmerIcan troops. That was a siitflclent tribute to the valor of our brave men and It silenced all cavil over the conditions now presenteil by Geti- oral Shafter. It was a time for action , for rein forcetnents , and toward hi0 executIon of this end every effort of the miministra- tlon was at once turned , Ihit there was oilier information of a dIfferent tetior , coming about the same tune. The American army was not alone feeling the effects of this three ihays' stoek of arms. Definite , Positive Information was at hitnd that Santiago bad been llteralhy torn to pieces and that In the wreclc and ruin of ( lenlohished buIldIngs the Spanish casultius numbered fully 1,000. This was a fitting ouTset to any qualms raIsed by the reports from the American line. This Information caine from one of the foreign consuls stationed at Santiago , who teported to the representative of his country - try in W'ashingtoii the fearful havoc withIn the city wrought by the Anierican army and the Ii.t. Tile distress of tIme city , oven before the battle , was clearly shown by the action of this consul In serving out ratIons of one- half pounil daily to his fellow countrymen , a few hundred In number , for the last month. EvIdently thiere was no food to buy , as the SpanIsh military force had taken every avaIlable iounfi. Omily by tumis official dls- ti IItmtioli of rations to the foreign colony could they be kept froni starvation.
