Glorious Victory Report From Sampson and Shafter
Washington July 4 reports say Admiral Sampson's fleet destroyed Cervera's ships with Captain Smith witnessing the scene and Lieutenant Colonel Allen confirming the dispatch. General Shafter demands immediate surrender of Santiago via Playa del Este, predicting capitulation within a short time. Casualty estimates approach 1,000 on the American side, with heavy losses the day before. Shafter seeks reinforcements as he braces for a bombardment and continues the push toward Santiago. Secretary Alger lauds the army's valor and mourns fallen heroes as the war effort proceeds.
