oS SHAFTER’S TROOPS LAND Force of 3000 Men Within Seventern Miles of Santiazo War-Ships Cieared the Spa Playo Del Este, Cuba, June 22 — United States s are being land- ed on Cubar eight miles west of this selected ss the place for the debark ation of the main body of the army and 3009 of Shafter's were transferred from the transports to the shore Yesterday aforce of 1000 Cubans under the command of the insurgent was taken | rol today. Baiqu'ri point, was men his afternoon Gen. Demertrio Castillo from Aserradero west of Santiag and landed at Sigua, twenty east of the doomed city anda w they miles trom Baiquiri, where were joined by an additional forces 500 Cubans. This little army march-| ed upon the selected landing place, which wes held bya large body of | Spaniards, and after a brief but des | perate struggle put them to flight.! Baiquiri was thus prepared for the} Americans, and this morning early | the transports moved up close to the | shore, protected by four of the light- draught The corps in charge of Gen. Ludlow was| first landed, and then five compan- ies of infantry with machine guns to aid the Cubansin protecting the landing place. This was accomplish ed without misbap, and at once work of building the pontcons was begun By three o'clock the temporary | bridge across the short water was in readiness,and the d-barkation was in progress. At6 o'clock, when 1 lett Baiquiri to file tbis dispatch, 3000 men had been placed on shore. The landing will be resumed at day- light, and by to-morrow night Gen. Shafters army will be ready to march on Santiago. Itis probable, however, that be will waita day or two before begining the march. Daiquiri is seventeen miles east of Santiago. It is four miles of the cruisers engineer mouth of Baconao, where there is good ancorage for smal! beats Three good canal roads, passable at all seasons, lead to Santiago. One| follows the coast, another penetrates the interior by way of the Baconao Valley, and the other goes over the hills between these two routes | Five miles west is Juragua, the port for the American iron mines, from which point a railrcad runs to Sante ago, and also penetrates tha hill to the north. There is good water in plenty at Baiquiri. and plenty of room for free movement of troops The cable office was established a: this place by Luet, Col Allen, of the signal service, to-day, and here we are within eight miles of the main landing point of the army and with easy and safe means of communica- tion with that point. While the trcops were being land ed Admiral Sampson was bombard-} ing the forts at Aguadores and Ca- banas, the first a few miles east and the second just west of the entrance to Santiago harbor. These batter-| ies control the approaches to the| city from the sea, and will have to | be taken before effective operations against Santiago itself can be start- ed. Thatis not believed to bea difficult matter, however. Says Admiral Cervera Kissed Hobson and His Men. New York, June 22.—A special to the Press from Albany, N. Y., says, according tu the story related by James Myers of the flagship New York, in a letter written toa friend in Troy. Admiral Cervera kissed Hobson and his associates of the Merrimac for their bravery. Mr. Myers’ letter says: “Hobson and his men fought bravely to cut their way back to us killing many Spaniards, but the tide was too strong and they were carried shoreward and taken prisoners of war. The Spanish Captaia of the Cris- tobal Colon came to this ship bear- ing a flag of truce, and told the Admiral that all our men were alive but without clothes, provisions and money. He also said that our men | Charles I's time. By the time you | of the woodworkers’ strike.

Scer, parish clerx of Chsitenbaw, England. In answering a letter from him, Mr Kurtz closed with a hurrah for the “stars ani stripes and tke union jack.” He receivei the following response from the Eaglishman: St. James Place, Cheltenham, En- gland, June 8. —Dear S You say hurrah for the stars and stripes and and I sur e that men ia England What business the union jack,” there are not six who would not say the same. we can’t understand is why you Americans have not licked those Spaniards into fits before now. All they can do is chatter—will not fight. Neison knew them well, so did Well- ington, so did Drake. Poor silly Spain. Itis a dying natioo, and the sooner it is dead the better. That was rather a cheeky thing of Leut. Hobson; but I expect there isa lot of English blood in him At any rate, we don’t mind owning him. There is, perhaps, just this little difference: If England had becn at war with Spain their fleet would never have reached the harbor, ex cept the tide had washed it along the bottom. Well, never mind; wake up, collarthe lot of them and we shallbe pleased at your success. Talking of the “stars and stripes,” it may be interesting to know their origin ia derived from England.
