Stboney, July 13 A concerted movement has been made by tbe United States army and navyon Santiago durhours, which ing the past twenty-fou- r the American officers here believe will result In the si in out immediate fall of the city. The fleet lying off Aguadores, three miles east of Morro castle, hare again began the bombardment of Santiago. Notwithstanding the fact that our ships had to fire at au extreme elevation, and ai hough the range was nearly five miles, the aim waa so accurate that many of the shells fell in the city and set fire to it in four places. One shell struck bt Michael's church, in which a quantity of powder and ammunition was stored, and blew It into pieces. During the bombardment from the sea the army extended its line and drew in closer to the city, so that at th present time every road and trail leading out of the city is guarded, and the escape of the Spanish soldiers seems impossible. The only way they can get out of the city is to ferry across the bay to the western side of the harbor, and even then they eould not get Into the interior without en countering American troops. General Miles has complimented Shafter on hla achievements. AT SANTIAGO TWENTY-FOURT- H Captain Dnrat Telle of Its Terrible Storming of a Strong bold. Atlanta, Ga., Jifly 12.
