BOMBARDMENT OF SANTIAGO.
Beports from Hayti state that Commodore Sohley on Tuesday bombarded the outer batteries of Santiago de Cuba. v The attack developed into a severe fight between Admiral Cerveras* fleet at the entrance to the harbour. After a battle lasting two hours the Spaniards retired. Further details have been received as to the fighting at Santiago de Cuba. It is stated that 14 American ships were engaged under Bear-Admiral Sampson and Commander Sohley.. The American Navy Department, however, discredits the report. It was officially announced at Washington this morning that if a bombardment of Santiago had occurred the engagement was not important.
