It. A. ALGER , Secretary ofVar. .
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. Then
caine the brief hut graphic recital of the

This tact hind beeti grudglimgly admitted
