AMERICA AND SPAIN.

— ■». . ■ The San Juan Forts- Captured After Two Sours 1 Fighting. The American Losses. Two Thousand Spanish Prisoners- Santiago Invested- Further Reinforcements- The Insurgent Operations. Surrender of Santiago Demanded Threatened Bombardment Admiral Cerreras' Fleet Burning- United Preii Association— By Eleotrio Telegraph— Copyright Washington, July 4 On Saturday General Shatter at tacked the San Joan forts. A maßked battery wrought great havoc. The Michigan Volunteers and rough riders and Wood's cavalry advanced m two divisions, with Bond's infantry supporting them. Two hours' severe fighting m the heavy underbush without the artillery ensued, and they ultimately succeeded m capturing the forts. The American fleet on Saturday, at a range of 2000 yards, kept up a fusilade of shells which silenced the Morro Fort and demolished the battle ments. The Oregon's fire lowered the Spanish flag. The fleet then destroyed the Panta gorda batteries. The fire of the Spaniards was in effective. Siboney Hospital is crowded with wounded. Reports from New York state that the Americans lost 1200 killed and Wounded m Friday's and Saturday's engagements, and they captured 2000 prisoners. General Shaf ter has his head-quarters at Savilla, On Sunday he reported that he had Santiago well invested with troops. To the northeast there was a very thiu line of defences, but so strong that it was impossible with the present force to successfully storm the town. He says that the sickness amongst his men is very light, outside of that occasioned by heat and exhaustion. Generals Wheeler and Young have been in valided. The behaviour of the troops he reports to have been magnificent. Garcia, the insurgent leader, holds the railroad between Santiago and San Luis. He has burned a bridge and is removing the rails. The French consul and 400 French citizens have taken refuge within Gareia'a lines. Mr Alger, the Secretary for War, has telegraphed to General Shater the President's expression of the nations gratitude for the brilliant work and heroism of the officers and men, which has thrilled the American people with pride. He also mentions that the names of the dead will be enrolled as heroes.

Fifteen thousand reinforcements are being sent to assist General Shatter. General Miles is proceding to the front to command the entire army. Friday's battle began four miles from Santiago. Grimes's battery protected Wood's advance on the suburb of Oaney. The Spaniards contested every inch, but Oapron'a terrible fire broke the Spanish line, and compelled them to retreat on the outer forts, while Grimes's battery pitched shells m front of the retreating troops. General Wheeler, though ill, started for the front m an ambulance waggon. Afterwards he mounted a horse, and remained at headquarters. The Washington authorities officially confirm the reports that General Shafter has demanded the surrender of Santiago, threatening to bombard the city unless this is done. Admiral Sampson has destroyed Admiral Oerveras fleet, which ia now burning on tho beach.

Linares Wounded.

A Tribute to th© Spaniards 1 Fighting Powers. Faulty Commissariat. Shatter Complains. Sampson's Fleet at Santiago. Received Wakapuaha July 5, 9.5 a.m, Gvabdun Office 9.28 a.m. Washington, July 4 Daring the attack on Santiago General Linares was badly wounded, and General Yararey and two of his aides-de-camp killed. General Shatter reports that he has been obliged to suspend any further attack on the Spanish lines until he received reinforcements. He points out that his situation has been rendered precarious by the faulty nature of the commissariat arrangements, and the tremendous fighting capacity of the Spaniards. The Spanish forces, he adds, occupy an almost impregnable position. Both the New York Herald and the Daily Telegraph report that Admiral Sampson's fleet passed Fort Morro, and his vessels are crowding into Santiagc harbour.

Affairs at Manilla.

Beoeived Wakapuaka July 5, 9.15 a.m, Gvabduk Offioe 10 a.m. • Sydney, July 5 Manilla news states that the rebels are m possession of nearly the whole of Manilla. The provinces outside the city are cat off from railway and other commnnioation. The rebels have cap tared the water supply, and can stop the supply, bat influence was brought to bear to prevent this, It is believtd tb»t they could capture the city any time, but Admiral Dawey wlihei to

of the American reinforcements, as he does not want to guard the town with his present forces. The rebels hold many of the larger towns and a number of small places. They have also ) captured 3000 prisoners, half regulars, including two brigadier generals, and ninety-eight other officers.

Cerveras' Fleet on Fire.

Linaros' Successor- Magaifloeat Charge m a Sail of Shot. Haad to Hard Fights- The Cowboys ia Evidence. Capture of the Ladrone lislaads Ssoape of Cerveras. Reoeived Wakapuaka July 5, 9.55 a.m, Guardian Office 10.42 a.m. Washington, July 4 It is reported that all the ships, except one, of Admiral Oerveras' squadron ran ashore on fire, and their Magazines exploded. General Toral has succeeded General Linares as commander at Santiago. The American Brigade under Briga dier General Hawkins assisted the dismounted cavalrymen, and made a magnificent charge up the hill on Oaney. The Spaniards, using Mauser ! rifles, threw a murderous hail at the charging troops, staggering the men. The assailants repeatedly threw themselves to the ground to escape the fire, and often showed signs of slackening. Then they recharged up the hillside. The ground was strewn with dead and wounded. Several hand-to-hand fights took place at the trenches at Caney before the Spaniards were driven out. General Hawkins was amongst the wounded. In the attack on the San Juan forts on Saturday, Michigan volunteers and Roosevelt's cowboys regiment displayed reckless valour. News has been received that the American cruiser Charleston has cap tured the Ladrone Islands, and haß taken the Governor prisoner to Manilla. Later reports state that Admiral , Oervdras, aboard the armoured cruiser | Vizcaya, escaped from Santiago harbor I to sea. Admiral Sampson's ships are 1 pursuing the Yizcaya, j
