Huntington's Matines Take the Aggret- sive at Camp McCalla. a = Make a Sortie and Drive Back the Guerrillas, Killing and Cap- turing Many. aera eae (Copyright. 1898, by the ‘Associated Press.) GUANTANAMO BAY, June 14, 8 p.m., via Kingston, Jamaica, June 15. — The United States marines, under Lieut. Col. Robert W. Huntington, made their first aggressive movement against the Spanish guerrillas today and completely routed the enemy. The force of marines was under Capt. Elliott, and the co-operating Cubans were under Col. Laborda. The combined forces red2d a Spanish camp about five miles from the American position, destroyed the only well in the vicinity and killed about forty Spaniards. One American marine was slightly wound- ed. Two Cubans were killed and four wounded. It is impossible to estimate the number of Spaniards engaged, owing to their guer- rilla methods of fighting, but it is believed there were at least 100. The marines behaved splendidly, their marksmanship being excellent, even under the e fire of the enemy. The captured camp lies about five miles southeast of the rifle pits of the marines, and was an important base for the ene- my, as it contained the only well within six or seven miles. The Americans began a cautious advance, and were within 200 yards of the enemy be- fore the crack of 2 Title from the Spanish lines announced that the Spaniards had discovered them. Cubans Join the Attack. The troops quickly moved into line of bat- tle, with the Cubans on the left fig The enemy's bullets were whirling viciously over the Americans, but the marines set- tled down to their work as unconcernedly as though at target practice. Very few Spaniards were in sight. They were lying behind the huts, and in the brush, but the puffs of smoke revealed their positions, and enabled the Americans to do effective work. For twenty minutes both sides maintained a terrific fire. The Spanish shots were generally wild and spas- modic, while the Americans coolly fired aiming carefully and shooting to kilt. he most part the Americans’ firing was done individually, but at times the officers could direct firing by squads, al- ways with telling effect. li was beginning to loog as though a bay- charge down the slope would be nece sary to dislodge the enemy, when sudder the latter began to break for a thicket a hundred yards further on. Little groups could be Seen fleeing from the camp, sepa- rating, darting through the brush and zig- zagging to escape the bullets. American Fire Deadly. It was then the American fire became most deadly. Man after man could be seen lin a vain rush for shelter, and the rom the Spanish became scattering and almost ceased. Two Cubans lay dead and four wounded, and Private Walker of Company D had to limp to the rear with a slight wound in his ankle. easy victory put the com: spirits. The little “black Cub waved their machetes and howled curses the Spanish in savage fashion. Their firin; had been wild throughout, but they all d played the utmost contempt for the Spanish bullets, apparently being absolutely with- out fear.

Spanish In Retreat. As the Spanish retreated the Americans moved slowly forward, firing as they went, and by the time the camp was reached the my had all got away, taking their wounded and probably many of their dead. Fifteen bodies were found scattered through the brush, but the Americans were unable to examine the spot where their firing had been most deadly. No time was lost in burning the bulidings and filling the well with earth and stones. The Dolphin landed water and ammuni- tion, as an attack was expected on the re turn march, but none was made. Evident- ly the Spaniards were too thoroughly beat- en to attempt further fighting. The ma- rines did not reach the American camp un- til after nightfall, and as they had been without food since the early morning they were thoroughly exhausted. Colonel Huntington believes the destruc- tion of the camp and well will seriously cripple the bushwhacking operations of the enemy.

There was no renewal of the uttack on the marines last night They slept im the trenches with their rifles beside them, pro- tected by a heavy picket line of insurgents and marines, under the command of Lieuts. Lenore and Smith. The pickets had strict orders not to fire unless commanded to do so. There were several alarms, but no firing during the night. In consequence, the men awoke much refreshed after four days and nights of continuous work and fighting. It was supposed the enemy had retired in the night to the windmill on the south coast, the only remaining source of water su The windmill was shelled at The man whose home is menaced by midnight marauders isn’t slow to grasp a weapon to de- fend it.

At 8 o'clock the enemy made an unexpected, sharp attack on the American rear and left flank. When the pickets came in for relief the Spanish guerrillas crept along behind them and got within a hundred yards when the accidental discharge of a rifle in the trenches led them to believe they were discovered, and they opened fire with a volley which whistled harmlessly overhead. Spanish Fire Too High. They had shot too high, as usual. The marines then scrambled from their steam- ing coffee and “hard tack” back to the trenches and met the guerrillas with a ragged but well-directed rifie fire. In addition, five field pieces, mounted at angles in the trenches, and the ima- chine guns poured a hail ‘of bullets into the chaparral, scattering the main body of the Spaniards in all directions. Shells were dropped into their midst as they ran. A few of the enemy stood their ground desperately on the Jeft flank, and the crack of the Mauser rifles and the “pings” of their bullets were heard rather than seen for an hour, as the smokeless powder used by the Spaniards made their location in the dense underbrush’ almost impossible to detect.

As the Dauntless left the bay the smoke of two Spanish gunboats in the inner har- bor could be seen, and the Dolphin stood up the channel to meet the attack, if the Spaniards had the audacity to make one. When ten miles off shore, the booming of guns could be heard, and the harber was veiled in smoke. peel Boarder Causes Trouble.
