Manning, one of the revenue cutters assigned to duty with the navy. The Maa- ning was one of the fleet which convoycd Gen. Shafter’s army to Cuba, and Lic Prince writes his father a journal letter Gescriptive of the voyage and incidents of the landirg at Santiago, as follows, under date of June 14: “We are to sail this afternoon and will meet the Indiana outside, where she has been lying, near Sand Key, for two er three weeks. We infer that the fleet is to sail, as other ships have orders, and that the army is at last en route. Since we arrived kere from Bahia Honda we have twice prepared to get under way. Monday morn- ing at 4 o'clock we were all ready, but the commodore’s launch came around at the last moment and told us that the mor ment was postponed for thirty-six hours. So now, w> leave at 4 o'clock, uoless one of those puffy little launches comes and breaks up our plans again. Whenever we see one every man straightway lays down his work or ri: from his couch with the firm assurance that all existing plans and speculations are reversed. ¢ “I had to go on deck just now for a few moments, when ‘all hands’ werecaliedani we are really under way, and fast nearing tho Indiana in company with the Bancroft, the Cneida and a tug. The old Passaic came in just now with some naval reserves on beard. Her little battle-scarred turret and funny deck works looked very green as lay off Fort Tayler, with three of her mighty descendants, the Puritan, Amphi- trite anl Miantonomoh around her. The Lancaster is here, too, and criticism in her case can only be favorable, while her lofty spars, with their cobweb riggin: tower abeve the floating forts of toda So, side by side we have the evolution of the battleship from 60 to "9S, from the Lancaster to the Indiana. Excited Indignation. “We were all very indignant over the published article criticising our marksman- ship at Cabanas. The Wasp did something, but not all, as the results showed; and, in- deed, she couldn’t do much with only four six-pounders in her battery. We certainly did wonderfully well, considering that the men were all green—with no training e: cept that on revenue cutters—and that we had had no target practice whatever. We have had considerable since. As to the bad marksmanship at Arboli- tos, the report of the Spanish commander delighted us greatly. He had 150 men, and reported that he i but was un owing to the fire of the gunboats (thre fourths of which was ours), and that he suffered erably, one shrapnel shell and wounding one officer and having only s ; shrapnel. How indication of our -Dutchma h friends are not given to admitting s either. The second day at Mariel hooting was excellent. East of Fort Jefferson. “June 15.—Today we have been lying with the fleet, which left Key West last night, just east of Fort Jefferson. We formed in column off Sand Key last evening and steamed in that formation to our anchor- age of today, which we reached early this morning. The flagship Indiara, Captain Taylor, who will command the convoyin: fleet, was in the lead, followed by the Ban- croft, Detroit, Manning, Wasp, Eagle, Osceola and Wampatuc in the order named. The run over was very quiet, ex- cept for us. We have never been in fleet befere, and the effort to keep our place was troublesome. It doesn’t seem possible to regulate the speed exactly, and, in conse- quence, the engineers are worried to death. The officer on the bridge has his hands fuil, watching and making signals and direct- ing the engineers. We are anchored just south of the spot where we lay last win- ter, on our way to Pensacola, and just where the North Atlantic squadron was lying at that time. We sent scouts to the northward to look for the transport fleet. The first indication of its approach was the appearance about sunset of a bank of smoke,wlich hung over the horizon,and,like the pillar,cloud or smoke or whatever it was that the ‘aelities had, has accompanied us ever since. After dark they were still but a long row of twinkling lights, making a crescent at fi and then gradually re- solving themselves into a long line, which went southward through the keys, while we steamed slowly along a few miles from them. At first it looked like a city bearing down upon us, and well it might, for there were thirty transports and three-warships —Helena, Castine, Newport. We all got to- gether next morning and formed in our cruising order. “June 16.—This morning our cruise really began about 7 o'clock. After we had been in two scattered columns all night we stopped and formed in three columns and two divisions. The Indiana was the right guide for the first Civision and the Detroit for the second. The vessels on the flanks were scouts, and lay two or three miles outsigie. ‘Ihe distance between vessels was 400 yards and columns 80 yards. We formed somewhere southeast of the Tor- tugas, so when I came on deck we were in the midst of a great naval parade, steam- ing slowly over a smooth sea in three long lines, with their naval leaders and scouis around them. “The formation was usually about four miles long and a mile wide. It was a very imposing sight, and one of the things you don’t see often in a lifetime. It is some compensation to feel that one is seeing and doing things a little out of the ordi- nary. At all times the smoke makes a haze about us, and it must be much worse in the rear. Our transports are mostly coasting passenger steamers. The old Iroquois that I used to see so often in Charleston looks very queer out here, with her decks covered with troops. There is a great fascination in watching the vessels. We have picked out most of their names now. They have each a different disposi- tion and we know them all. Cross in Field of Blue. “Phe 5th Corps flag, with its white Malt- ese cross in a field of blue, waves from the masthead of the Seguranca, on board which is General Shafter’s headquarters. She is very officious and is always run- ning out of line to talk to other boats. The Olivette is the hospital ship. We are all likely to peril our souls swearing at the Breakwater just ahead. She is balky and stops on the least provocation, balling up everything behind her. Then some are laggards and some are free lances, seem- ing to think that they have a roving com- mission, and in consequence go all over the fleet and mix up with everybody else. Such a great fleet as this, like all other parades, loses something of its impressions when you are a part of it, and most of your time is taken up in wishing you had had the organization of it yourself; in won- dering why all the others are idiots, and how merchant skippers ever keep their vessels afloat when they are by themselves. “June 17—We are still in our old place in the second division, and everything is much the same, save that our array is a little less compact and one or two weak sisters have slowly dropped out of the race. Some of the vessels are black with PSs, while others are almost lonesome contrast. We sighted the Cuban coast today, and ran quite near Lobos Cay on the Great Bahama bank. Britain and Spain are very near each other here. The light is in a great white tower, all striped like @ convict, with horizontal black bands, and, in truth, it is in durance vile, for it rises from a patch of sand with nothing on it save a little house and a tall flag- staff, whose blue flag gives the only touch of color. A Norwegian steamer ran diag- onally through the fleet this forenoon, and her stolid crew were almost surprised at Fleet Falls Into Disorder. “June 18—Today I was up Just alittle be- =>. just where the Texas left us, and everye} thing has been as quiet as Key West. Dure ing the night two of the vessels le clos | in to the entrance and cover it completely | with their searchlights. This morning thé Brooklyn and a yacht steamed back and forth across the entrance almost within pistol shot, but failed to provoke the dons to a shot. It was funny to see the enemy get in the last word yesterday. In each case, after our ship had turned her bow seaward, the enemy fired a parting shot, just to let us know he had not been si jenced. “June 24—We just rolled and rolied on @ long, smooth swell until we heartily wish ed ourselves anywhere but in the very theater of war. Nothing at ali happened. The Detroit and New Orleans and several small boats were banging away all mor: ing over to the eastward, where the troops were landing, but we could only see the smoke. We learned afterward that Wood's cowboys had had the first brush and lost fifty kelled and wounded. “It was remarked the other day that the last shot fired at the Texas as she turned to leave the batteries was not seen by any one; today we learned that it had gone home. It was a seven-inch and killed one man and wounded eight. “June 25—Last night we left the blockade and took our troo: up to the landing place. They were working all night under @ searchlight from one of the war vessels, fore the sun and saw his majesty rise upon a hopeless mob. Our orderly array had lost all semblance of order during the night 20 we halted and in a little while the strag- glers had all come up, every one had found his place and we were marching on as gaily as ever. These troops don’t get tired, and that is a great advantage, #0 we are fresh as ever. The weather has been de- hghtful—warm, of course, but dry and clear and.calm. The sea has been smooth, and in fact it has been a real yachting trip. It is hard to imagine the consequences of rough Weather in these crowded transports, and it would destroy the morale of the men. Seasickness will knock the spirit out of the most ardent patriot who ever marched on a ship. “The Detroit called us over to talk with her this morning and told us that Captain Taylor had"assigned us to scout duty on the right flank. As we went through the fleet we were cheered by some troops—our old friends of the 1st Infantry and Gussie memory, I guess. We have been steaming along about a mile from the fleet all day and have a very good view of it. We are averaging about eight knots. “All the afternoon we have been in sight of the high hills about Point Sama, and by tomorrow merning in the first watch we should be rear Cape Maysi. The land is high and quite near enough to be seen if any one is thére.

It wasn't all white smoke, however, that drifted over the browr. hill, for in a little while the battle ship began to find the range, very deliberetely, with her small guns, and puffs of blush smoke shot out from her dark mass. ena then suddenly she was enveloped and hidden by clouds of white smoke, ard great puffs of brown rose up alongside the hillside where the shell had struck. She uséd all her bat- tery, and seemed to hit the marks nearly every time, while the dons continued to make their pretty fountains.
