Washington, June 1. Advices from nayti say twelve warships, among which was the New York, flying Admiral Sampson's colors, have been bombarding the forts at the entrance to Santiago harbor. acked are given Tbe defenses att- ns Morro Castle, La Socapa and Punta Carda. It is stated that the damage was thought to be heavy. No statement was made by 8paniah authorities as to the extent of damages inflicted. No mention of dam-agto the American fleet is made. The mouth of the harbor at Morro Castle is but 600 feet wide. About a mile up is La Socapa. where the channel is but 550 feet wide. Between the two points are shore batteries, so that the fleet would be under a heavy fire es through the entire distance at so short a range that even a Spanish gunner could hardly fail to do effective work. Two miles further up is Punts Carda, the last effectiva fortification. If the squadron passed this point there would be nothing to hinder the speedy annihilation of Cerveras fleet. Naval officials scout the ides of a battle. They point out the dangers of such an attack, and believe circumstances do not warrant taking any chances. If Schley's squadron did enter tbe harbor, it is evident that the fortifications wers first rendered almost entirely useless. FROM CAPE HAYTI.
