El Morro Destroyed.

(Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, June 1, 8:50

a. m.—The following additional details have

been received here from a Spanish source

at Havana of the engagement reported oft

Santiago de Cuba yesterday:

The Spanish batteries at first answered

the fire of the American squadron in a live

ly manner. After twenty minutes of firing,

directed in a superior manner on the part

of the American fleet, the Spanish batteries

began to weaken their fire and the Ameri

can ships coventrated a violent fire upon

El Morro, destroying it completely. The

forts at Zoeapa and Punta Gorda fired the

last shots.

The Spanish losses must have been con

siderable. Details are lacking as to the

American losses. The Spaniards pretend to

have struck the American vessels several

times, but this information is accepted here

under reserve.

At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon the

American squadron ceased firing. At that

hour there was no Spanish vessel in sight.

No news has been received here from the

dispatch boats.

The American squadron which bombarded

Santiago de Cuba was composed of power

ful vessels, and one of them is supposed to

have been the flagship New York, though

other reports have it that she was not

present.
