PLANNED BY SAMPSON He Was Responsible for Success of Landing at Baiquiri. HIS ORDERS: ABLY CARRIED OUT! Detailed Account of the Operations of Fleet and Army. PART TAKEN BY CUBANS (Oopyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Wednesday, June 22, via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, June 23,—The order of battle issued by Admiral Sampson, who was almost 2ntirely responsible for the success-of the landing of the troops et Baiquiri, was as follows: “The army corps will land tomorrow t™morning, the entire force landing at Bal- quirl. The landing will begin at daylight. Ships stationed to the eastward of Baiquiri will assist in clearing the way for an unop- posed landing by flanking out tha Spanish forces at that point. Simultaneously with the shelling of the beach and block houses at Baiquiri, the Ensenada de los Altares and Aguadores, both to the eastward of Santiago, and the small bay of Cabanas, about two and one-half miles to the west- ward of Santiago, will be shelled by the skips stationed there for that purpose. “A feint in force of landing at Cabanas will be made, about ten of th> transports— the last to disembark their forces at Bai- aviri—remaining during the day or a great- er part of the Gay about two miles to the southward of Cabanas, lowering boats and making apparent preparations for disem- barking a large body of troops. Part Assigned to Rabi. “At the same time General Rabi, with 500 Cuban troops, will make a demonstra- tion on the west side of Cabanas. The fol- lowing vessels are assigned to bombard the four points mentioned above: At Cabanas, the Scorpion, Vixen and Texas; at Agua- dores, the Eagl> and Gloucester; at Ense- rada de los Altares, the Hornet, Helena and Bancroft; at Baiquiri, the Detroit, Cas- tine, Wasp and New Orleans, the Detroit and Castine on the western flank and th> Wasp and New Orleans on the eastern flank. ll the vessels named will be in their positions at daylight. Great care will be taken to avoid the wasteful expenditure of ammuniticn. The firing at Baiquiri will begin on a signal from the New Orleans. Ac Cabaras it is probable that after a few minutes, unless the firing is returned, the sional dropping of shots from’ the smaller vessels will be sufficient, but the nce of covering a landing should be maintained. the ships keeping close in at Aguadores and Ensenada de Los Altares. The same rule should prevail at Baiquiri, the point of actual landing. The vessels will, of course, use their artillery until they have reason to believe that the landing is clear. They will take care that the firing will be deliberate and effective. Texas and Brooklyn to Change Sta- tions. “The Texas and Brooklyn will exchange blockading stations, the Texas going inside to be near Cabanas. The Brooklyn, Massa- chusetts, Iowa and Oregon will keep a vig- ilant watch on the harbor mouth. The In- diana will take the New Orleans’ position in the blockading line east of Santiago de cu anu between the flagship New York and the shore. This is only a temporary assignment for the Indiana to strengthen the blockading line during the landing and to avoid any possibility of the enemy's breaking through should he attempt to get out of the port. “The Suwanee, Osceola and Wampatuck. will be prepared to tow boats. Each will be provided with two five or six-inch lines, one on each quarter, and each long enough to take in tow a dozen or more boats. These vessels will report at the New York at 3 a.m. on June 22, prepared to take in tow the ships’ boats which are to assist in the landing of troops and to convoy them to Baiquiri. “Phe Texas, Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Towa, Oregon, New York and Indiana will send all their steam cutters and their pull- ing boats, with the exception of one re- tained on board each ship, to assist in the landing. These boats will report at the New York at 3 a.m. Each boat, whaleback and cutter will have thre> men; each launch five men and each steam cutter its full crew and an officer for their own man- agement. In addition to these men, each boat will carry five men, including one capable of acting as coxswain, to manage and direct the transports’ boats. Each steam launch will be in charge of an offi- cr who will report to Capt. Goodrich. ‘Care will be taken in the selection of boat keepers and coxswains to take no men who are gun pointers oc who occupy positions of special importance at the bat- teries. Impedimenta to Be Removed. mnecessary oars and impedimenta should be removed from the pulling boats for greater convenience of the transporta- tion of troops, but cach boat should retain its anchor and chain. “Capt. C. F. Goodrich, commanding the St. Louts, will have, on the part of the navy, general charge of the landing. The New Orleans will send her boats to report to Capt. Goodrich upon her arrival at Bal- quiri. “The attention of commanding officers of all vessels engaged in blockading Santiago de Cuba is earnestly called to the neces- sity of the utmost vigilance from this time forward, both as to maintaining stations and readiness for action and as to keeping a close watch upon th harbor mouth. If the Spanish admiral ever intends to at- tempt to escape that attempt will be made soon.” Landing Without Opposition. General Shafter’s forces, as this dispatch is written, are being landed without oppo- sition to speak of at Baiquiri, twelve miles east of El Morro. The landing thus far has been successful in every respect. It has-been covered by a naval bombard- ment. Fcur thousand troops are ashore at this hour and probably twelve thousand will be ashore by nightfall. One man killed on the Texas is the only casualty so far. At 2 o'clock this morning the work of lower- ing the bcats from the New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Iowa, Oregon and Brooklyn began. Forty-eight men went from the flagship in the steam launch and the cut- ters. The Vesuvius, a few hours before, stol2 up under the eastern hills of Santiago harbor and landed three guncotton shells in the neighborhood of the eastern battery. Three loud reports, three sharp flashes and clouds of earth and smoke marked their fall. It is believed that one shell did damage to the emplacements. The western battery fired two futile shots after the Vesuvius. Boat Crews Lowered. Those who watched the operation from near the flagship had scarcely ceased com- menting upon the work of the Vesuvius before the winches creaked and groaned as the boats were lowered. Ensign Palmer, who was in charge, and Naval Cadet Kautz, son of the late Gen. Kautz of the United States army, took the flagship’s flo- tilla over to the auxillary cruiser St. Louis and reported to Capt. Goodrich, who had the general charge of the landing. The New York stil! lay at her regular block- ading station, watching for Admiral Cer- vera should he attempt to make a dash out. When the dawn broke the long line of transports was seen stretched out over the eastern horizon and fading toward Baigquiri. The indiana was slowly coming into blockading position at Baiquiri, and the New Orleans, Detroit, Castine and Wasp couid be seen faintly. Shortly after 6 o'clock the New Orleans opened fire. An explosion occurred ashore and soon columns of smcke were seen as- cending from Baiquiri, standing out white against the green ound of the rug- ged mountains that rise from the water's edge. The shell had evidently set the build- ings on fire, but the thick haze of smoke id mist made it hard to see exactly what was occurring at Baiquiri. Before 8 o'clock the Texas, -keeping- close ne inshore, proceeded to Cabanas, two and a halt west of, El Morro, to make a feint at landing ports which were to have accompanted the Texas were still far out of position. Sud- denly: a puff of smoke shot out from the western battery, showing that the enemy were devoting attention to the Texas. The battle ship replied'promptly, firing at the western batteriesWith her twelve-inch and six-inch guns and with her smaller guns at a block house a small inlet at Caban- as. For an houf the duel between the Texas and the forts continued. Marvelous Marksmanship of Texas. The most spectacular event so far in the war it was. The marksmanship of the Texas was maryelous. Though over two miles away and in an awkward position, she dropped shell ‘after shell right on the ridge of the hill where the enemy’s guns lay. Clouds of yellow earth rose high in the air. : ‘The crew on thé flag ship greeted each of these with loud eheers. Puffs of white smoke shot through the yellow canyon. These were shots from the enemy. They stuck to their guns well, but their aim was wild, the shots falling some a mile ahead and some a mile astern of the Texas. Fin- ally the enemy's shots became few and far between. They had probably been driven from their guns. All the other battle ships in the United States navy lay in a semi-circle, watching the wondereful work of the Texas, and not wishing to distract the enemy’s attention ftom the successful feint. On land still further to the westward General Rabi, with 500 Cubans, was mak- ing a military demonstration to assist in making the Spaniards concentrate their troops to the west of Santiago. Meanwhile a lively nayal attack was in progress east of the harbor at Aguadores, a village two or three miles east of El Mor- ro. The Eagle and Gloucester commenced to fire at the block house there shortly af- ter 8 o'clock. The bluff was peppered with the smoke clouds of their exploding shells. Fire at Two Block Houses. A few miles further to the east the Hor- net, Helena and Bancroft wera in the pic- turesque harbor of, Ensenada de los Al- tares, banging away at two block houses on the side of a hill which rose above the @eserted village. Th> heavy swell caused these craft to roll considerably, and the surf broke viciously against the rocks. The sun shone bright, a light breeze blew, and the gunboats, half envelop2>d in white smoke, nestled in these fine harbors, form- ing a picturesque sight. They were feint- ing more than fighting. From Cabanas to Baiquirl, along fourteen miles of coast, th> ridge was dotted with the smoke of American shells. The battery west of El Morro was the only point where the enemy appeared to make any serious attempt to reply. The sharp reporis of the batteries of the smaller boats filled the air, the echoes dying away into the great hills bebind. A faint odor of saltpeter drifted out to sea. The officers and crews of the ships not engaged watched the shore eagerly. At 10:30 the New York ran down from El Morro to Baiquiri, the real seat of opera- tions. Just as she arrived the first boatload of troops was landing at the iron company’s wharf. The transports had been slow in coming up. When Admiral Sampson ar- rived the Suwanee, Detroit and Wasp were banging away at’a bluff to the wesi of Baiquiri, where the Spanish troops were believed to be in ambuscade. Scene at Landing Point. Around the wharf launches and boats were thickly clustered, some black with trocps, others haif-erlipty and their former cecupants climbing ip like ants. The fir- ing of the gunboats! Was soon discontinued. Flames broke opt.where the shel!s had been directed, andia long, low, white house was soon burned up- No shots were seen to come from any points on shore. The waters around; Baiquiri were black with small craft of ali sorts, plying quickly between the transports and the shore. Smoke curled up from various spots around the village, marking; the fires caused by the shelis. Live The landing continued quietly, until by noon 3.000 troops were ashore.” The ac- miral and his staff watched the debarka- tion closely. az! Many of the soldiers were seasick while making the passage from the transports to the shore. esha Gen. Van Horh, ih command of the first division, while clambering from the Seneca into a small boat, fell into the thwarts of the latter and was somewhat injured. He could not land with the division. The landing boats had a hard time in the surf. ——+e+-____ FATALITY ON THE TEXAS. Spanish Shell Explodes Between Decks, Killing Apprentice Blakely. A special cable to the New York Journal, dated Baiquirl Harbor, Cuba, June 23, sys: Just as the bombardment of the de- ferses above Baiquiri was about over a shell from the forts entered the battle ship Texas and exploded with fatal effect, killing one man and seriously injuring eight others, one fatally. The list of dead and Injured follows: Killed: F. R. Blakely of Newport, R. L, a first- class apprentice. Injured: R. C. Engle, seaman, of New York. H. A. Gee, apprentice, of Philadelphia. J. Libely, landsman, of Norfolk, Va. G. F. Mullen, apprertice, of New York. J. E. Neeson, apprentice, of New York. R. Russell, apprentice, of Philadelphia. W. J. Simonson, seaman, of New York. A. Soogvist, seaman, of New York. Russell is’ very serjously injured; the others will recover. ‘The shell entered the port side below the main deck line, cutting 9 jagged hole. It struck a heavy iron stanchion and ex- Ploded, fragments flying in all directions. Blakely was torn to pieces. The others were severely injured by the flying pieces, Russell being the most seriously hurt. The men belonged to the crews of two six- pounder guns, whieh at the time were not in action, + & + —_____ THE ACCOUNT SENT TO MADRID. The Ministry Led to Believe That Our Forces Were Repulsed. A cablegram from Madrid dated June 23 says: An official dispatch from Santiago de Cuba today says: “Tho attack commenced yesterday. The enemy concentrated his landing forces in front of Puerto Barraco, lying eastward of our left flank, which extended for eight leagues along the coast.” Another official dispatch from Havana says: “The commander at Santiago de Cuba announces that the American squadron has commenced the bombardment and is trying to disembark at Baiguiri and at Puerto Bar- raco. “An American warship has shelled and destroyed a small wooden fort near Cien- fuegos. Seven Spaifiards were slightly wounded.”* ad Fis The minister fox.war, Gen. Correa, it is anounced, has regely, an official dispatch from Santiago dé! Cupa, announcing that “The Americans’ first attack on Puenta Parraco has beem repulsed after a hard- fought and bloody, engagement.” Cable dispatches received here from Ad- miral Cervera say crews of the Span- ish warships at Santiago have joined the land forces in order to take part in the de- fense of the city. He,adds that the situa- tion is critical, but a later diSpatch af- firms that the Spa “have victorious- ly repulsed the enemy. A dispatch from, the governor of Santi- ago de Cuba says; “The attack on Siboney and Baiquiri contin until nightfall. The enemy was repulsed, ¢xcept on the left, at Baiquirl, where the Spaniards were obliged to retire in consequence of a flanking move- ment upon the part..of the enemy, who landed several kilometers east of Baiquiri. The Spanish forces retired in good order into the mountains. Siboney and Barraco were destroyed by the American shells.” During the afternoon a semi-official note was issued, “in order to avoid a misunder- standing,” pointing out that “merely the Spanish left retired and took up a position in the mountains owing to the Americans landing nine kilometers east of Baiquiri, where there were no Spanish troop: endeavoring to outflank the Spaniards. The note then points out that “this part of the country is very,unhealthy, and that yellow fever is rampant.” The Spanish official dispatches are an- nounced to have created an “excellent im- pression” here, as indicating the “immense cee of the advance on San ‘uba.”” The dispatches from Cuba were read in the senate here today, whereupon the sen- ators made patriotic speeches, and On Second Floor.

Democrats, Populists and Silver Re- publicans Satisfied With the Division. The following ticket was nominated by the state conventions of the democrats, pepulists and silver republicans of Michi- gan. It represents an equal distribution between the three parties. The ticket was ratified in joint convention later. For governor—Ex-Congressman Justin R. Whiting of St. Clair, democrat. For lieutenant governor—Michael F. Mc- Donald of Sault Ste Marie, democrat. For secretary of state—L. E. Lockwood of Coldwater, populist. For auditor general—John L. Frisbie of Hillsdale, silver republican. For state treasurer—Dr. Edgar B. Smith of Detroit, democrat. 3 For attorney general—Royal.A, Hawley f Iona, silver republican. °'For land commissioner—Carlton Peck of Laper, ulist. For ‘superintendent of public instruction— Mrs. Florence Renkes of Barry county, sil- ver republican. ‘For imember state board of education— George E. Willetts of Calhoun county, pop- ulist. The platforms do not conflict on any es- sential point. That adopted by the popu- lists Is, perhaps, less radical than hereto- fore; and, at the request of the populists, a plank was inserted in the democratic plat- form favoring the initiative and referen- dum. The silver republicans also modified their declaration to make it more in accord- ance with the democratic platform. The latter reaffirms allegiance to the Chicago platform of 1896. It criticises mildly the present state administration, but does not mention the name of Pingree. The war plank reads as follows: We favor the vigorous prosecution of the war with Spain, which was begun and is being waged in the interests of humanity and for the extension of political freedom. We urge the most liberal supply of modern arms to our soldiers and the utmost energy in their equipment; we declare our con- viction that there should be no cessation of effort until every righteous purpose shall have been achieved. We congratulate the nation upon the skill and valor of its de- fenders, and the prompt and effective re- sponse to the call for troops, and especially do we feel just pride in the high character and earnestness of the brave men of Mich- igan who, in the volunteer service, have reflected credit upon our commonwealth. The democratic platform closes with a message of greeting to W. J. Bryan. ——_+e+-_—__- NEVILLE HAD A HOT TIME. Lieut. Wendall C. ville. This is the first word Lieut.
