Although our orders were to mkeall haste possible, we found itall we could do to travel three- quarters ofa mile an hour. The tural difficulties were not the worst, either. Our marching had ben discovered by the Spanish guerrillas, and, while we could not wethem, they made their presence felt. They skulked through the chaperral and kept up a fire which give us not an instant of security Every now and then some of the boys would be wounded. The firing kept up all through the night, which thowed that we were pursued by those villainous bushwhackers.

From the present arrangement it appears certain that operations against Havana will mot be under- taken for some months, as Samp- son’s whole atrength will be needed to fight Morro.

He reported five days later that he had Cervera bottled in the harbor and that the Spanish fleet would never get home. Admiral Sampson gathered his most formidable warships about the harbor, and a constant watch for the Spanish fleet waskept up. This effort was rewerded on July 3, when Cervera attempted to the harbor and his entire destroyed.

This plucky band| United States was attacked night and day by the Spaniards, and four Americans, the tirst to die on Cuban soi!, were kill- |lodged from their position, and the Spaniards finally retreated. It was then decided to land the invading army nearer to Santiago, and Baiquiri was chosen as the place for the debarkation. There 14,564 enlisted men and 773 officers were landed on June 21 and 22. This expedition was under command of Major General William R. Shaf- ter.
