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
terrible effect of tIme Anierican attpck from

This tact hind beeti grudglimgly admitted
