In the Midst of Tefrifi@ Shelling Peace News Came and Both Sides Stopped Work. Further details have been_received at Key West as to the bombardment of the port of Caibarien, on the north caast of the province of Santa Clara;! Cuba, last Sunday by the Mangrove. ‘The Mangrove left here last week to pro- tect the landing of an expedition under Col. Boras, which had gone ahead on the schocners Adams and Dellie. When the Mangrove reached Santa Maria Key, near Caibarien, she found the Cuban party had safely disembarked, but feared to advance because of the presence of the Spanish gunboat Hernan Cortes and a smaller gun- boat, which were evidently making Caiba- rien their base. On Saturday afternoon the Mangrove an- shored at Key Francis, just outside Caiba- rien, and as she lay there the Hernan Cor- tes came out and ran around the key to get a peep at her, scurrying back into the harbor as soon as she saw she was dis- covered. The Mangrove followed as far as the shoal water would permit, but could only get about half way in the harbor. The next morning Capt. Stuart. the com- mander of the Mangrove, decided to have a shot at tke gunboats. He was alone, and the odds against him were heavy, but he did a bold thing. Souading her way inch by inch, the Mangrove crept along the channel, drawing eight feet of water‘ in an average depth of eight and a half, until about 9 o'clock she sighted both the Spanish gunboats. The Hernan Cortes was anchored near the shore, about a thousand yards to the right of the town, with her broadside to the sea. The small gunboat | lay at the wharf. < To See the Fight. The Spaniards evidently were anticipat- ing a battle. The shore was crowded with Spaniards, citizens and soldiers, while the roof of every building that commanded a view of the harbor was literally covered with people, anxious to see the fight. The Hernan Cortes carried two 4.7-Inch guns and four 1-pounders, while her smaller companion was armed with three 1-pcund- ers and a Hotchkiss rapid-fire gun. The crews of both, numbering in all between seventy-five and one hundred men, could be seen on the decks. Ashore were several 1-pound field pieces, while the Spanish troops were armed with Mauser rifles. The Mangrove, whose entire Lattery con- sists of only two 6-pounders, worked into a range of 3,000 yards. The channel was so narrow that only one gun could be fired at a time. At 10:45 a.m. she got up her port gun at the Hernan Cortes. ‘The shot fell short. Instantly the whole shore line burst into flame, both gunboats and the ficid pleces pouring in a heavy fire upon the American vessel. Every shell of this vol- ley struck the water ahead of the Man- grove, which continued pumping away with her port 6-pounder. She concentrate her fire on the Hernan Cortes, and the next five or six shots fell on the Spaniara’s deck between the bow gun and amidsh scattering a body of men. Some of the lat- ter must have been killed, although the Spaniards later denied that they suffered any loss. : Spaniards Got the Runge. For a while no Spanish gun was fired, but soon the Spaniards got the’ Mangrove’ range, and a veritable avalanche of shot and shell was hurled at her. it was noth- ing less than a miracle thdt her loss of life was not heavy. Shells frem the big guns of the Hernan Cortes dropped within twen- ty feet of the tug, several bursting, and the fragments chipping bits off her hull. Others went whizzing through her shrouds, and Mauser bullets peppered the surround- ing waters like a summer shower. In the very midst of all thfs and while the Mangrove was swinging cautiously around to bring her starboard gun into play, the watch shouted ““flag of truce,” and, sure enough, not only one, but three white flags could be seen; one flying from the small gunboat and two from the gov- ernment houses on shore. The Mangrove acknowledged the signal, and presently a small boat came out with a Spanish officer, who clambered aboard the Mangrove and, in exceedingly nervous tones, announce “Peace is proclaimed, and I have instru tions for your commanding officer from the military commander of this district.” He added that during the engagement the Spanish authorities in Caibarien had wired the military commander of the dis- trict that the American ships were bom- barding the port, and that immediate re- sponse had been received informing them that peace had been restored and the fir- ing should cease. The Spanish crew of the small boat which brought this officer to the Mungrove said that the Spaniards had not lost a man, but the officer himself made no allusion to the fight, which hed lasted an hour and ten minutes. As the Mangrove was creeping het way out of the narrow channel she went aground and lay there five hours. Had the same mishap befalien her during the en- gagement the chances are that she would have been sent to the bott i meee bottom with all on $e CARE OF TYPHOID PATIENTS, Dr. Sternberg Recommends That Some Be Sent to New Haven. Surgeon Gencrat Sternberg kas written a letter to Col. Wm. H, Forwood, chief sur- geon at Montauk Point, L. I., in regard to Gen. Young’s suggestion that soldiers suf- fering from typhoid fever be sent to hos- pitals in New York and Brooklyn. Gen. Sternberg says: “Referring to the inclosed telegram from Gen. Young, you are authorized.to take such action as you think best with refer- ence to the sending of typhoid cases to New York and Brooklyn hospitals. If they are sent it must be by water transportation and with good medical attendance and plenty of nurses to care for them en route. If the object in sending {s to prevent infection of the camp, I must say that I do not consider the recommendation made by Dr. Doty as necessary. We will give you an abundance of disinfectants, and all excreta should be promptly disinfected. It will be impossible to exclude all typhoid cases from the camp at Montauk Point. Often the diagnosis is not established unil the end of a week or more. Our experience during the war was that, as a rule, typhold cases did better in feld hospitals than in general hospitals, and I am satisfied that the chances of re- covery of many typhoid patients have been very much diminished by sending them on the hospital train from our infected camps to general hospitals. The journey has been very trying for critical cases and quite a number have died upon the train. I am expecting the Kelief to arrive in New York in three or four days, apd she will have 250 cases, mostly typhoid, to be placed in the hospitals In New York and Brooklyn. After considering the facts stated in this letter, and conferring with Gen. Young, I shall be glad to have your recommendation with reference to the disposition of the typhoid cases coming to Montauk Point.

Baracoa and Sugua de Tanamo Sa render to Maj. Miley—Colon May Not Be Saved. A Santiago Cispatch, dated yesterday, states: ‘Three hundred and seventy-five patients from the hospital at Siboney were brought to Santiago this afternoon, and will leave by the hospital ship Catania tomerrow. The 8th Ohio will leave cn the Mohawk. One company of the 34th Michigan Regi- ment will go in the morning to Guantana- mo bay for transportation on the United States steamer Resolute. Over 600 refugees from the province of Santiago have returned within two days from Jamaica. They are mostly planters and their families. The authorities are finding great difficulty in maintaining dis- cipline in the city. The immune soldiers are causing much trouble, and, though the city is being pa- trolled by the Sth Illinois Regiment (col- ored), it will be necessary to supplement them with a special organized police force. The Associated Press correspondent to- day visited the wrecks of the warships of Admiral Cervera’s flect. Capt. Sharp of the Chapman-Merritt Company is _work- ing vigorously to float the Maria Teresa, and expects to get her afloat and in such condition as to enabie her to come to Sa’ tiago within a fortnight. The Maria Te- resa has a hole fifteen feet long in her bot- tom, very close to the keel. This is being closed and stopped with unriveted plates, soldered, and cement and bagging. Teresn Can Be Saved. Capt. Sharp suggests bringing the Maria Teresa first to Santiago for temporary re- pairs, and then taking her to Havana, where it will be possible to patch her up sufficiently for her to undertake the voy- age north. He thinks the vessel can be £0 repaired as to make her available as a first-rate cruiser. Capt. Sharp, however, has no sanguine hopes of saving the Cristobal Colon. In fact, he considers the task practicaliy im- possible, despite the contrary opinion en- tertained by some, and he would not guar- entee that the vessel can be floated. T salvage of the Reina Mercedes and the Merrimac, he says, will be easy. Both can be floated with little difficulty, and he will undertake the contract with confidence. Thirty men are at work on the Maria Teresa, and twenty-one more will be sent for to Santiago. The Almirante Oquendo and the Vizcaya are both total wrecks, and are not worth saving for junk. This morning Maj. Mile: consisting of Capt. E. Fert ton’s staff, Maj. Luis Toolie: of the Spanish Gen. Toral Hubbell of the Red Cross Society, returned from Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo, on the north coast of the province of Santiago de Cuba, whither they went last Friday to receive the formal surrender of the Span- ish forces at those point: Maj. Gen. Miley carried thirty tons of ra- tions for the Spanish troo) nd Dr. Hub- bell took sixty tons, on behalf of the Red Cross Societ all of which has been di- vided between Baracoa and Sagua de Tan- amo. Maj. Miley learned that the Spaniards in that district had done but litle fighting with the insurgent forces for several wee with a party, r of Gen. Law- chief of staf? d Dr. J. B. Blanco’s Cuban Order. Gen. Blanco, in communicating orders to the miliary authorities of the island ye: terday, said: “The minister of war announced to me today that the preliminary agreement of peace negotiations between Spain and the United States having been signed, thus ac- cording a stop to hostilities on’ sea and land, his excellency dictates the immediate positions necessary for the troops and for preventing the rebels from taking posses- sion without respect to the peace agree- ment, and to arrange with the command- ers of the American troops any way of mutual accordance. It will be observed that the troops are to aid in repelling any unexpected attack which may be made be- fore entering upon the agreement. “Consequently your excellency shall issue an order protecting railways and military roads and occupying all interior territory under your authority and attending to e ery comfort and assistance of the troops, for which you are to arrange an agreement with the chief of the American troops, if any can be found in the territory, who will be in communication with the chiefs of the rebel forces, providing for the observance of the armistice, and vigorously repelling any attack intended by the rebels.” SS THEY WHY RESIGNED. Partial Explanation From Sixth Massachusetts’ Former Colonel. From the New York Herald, today. Having landed troops from Guantanamo, at Montauk Point, the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul arrived in quarantine yesterday morn- ing, bringing seven passengers, including five officers who resigned from the 6th Massachusetts Volunteers in Porto Rico be- cause of dissensions. They are Col. Charles F. Woodwerd, Lieut. Col. George H. Chaf- fin, Maj. George H. Taylor, Capt. U. A. Goodell and Chaplam William F. Dessault. The other passengers were Lieut. Col. Ives of the Signal Corps, U. S. A., and Colonel Wagner of the commissary aepartment, U. 8. A The former officers of the Massachusetts regiment left for Boston at 5 o'clock. Col- onel Woodward, who commanded the 6th Massachusetts, is a state senator from Wakefield. He is the president of several street railroads and has been connected with the state militia for twenty-nine years. He was one of the four men named by the governor to raise the regiment. Re- garding the troubles which resulted in his and his fellow officers’ resignation Colonel Woodward said: “My regiment left Camp Alger on July 5 in closed cars for Charleston. We remained at the latter place in the cars for twenty- four hours before we were transferred to the Yale. On the transport we had insut- ficient food and a limited supply of water, which was wretched stuff to drink. Thirty mgn in one company alone were made iil on the trip to Santiago, and one man died and was buried at sea. I complained to the proper authorities of the food and water, and the reply was, “You'll get a — sight less before yoy get more.’ “Santiago was reached on July 11, and after wasting nearly two weeks off that place and Guantanamo, we started for Porto Rico, arriving at Guanica on July 25. All the fighting at Guanica was done by the 6th Massachusetts. In our seven com- panies, which routed the Spaniards, sev- eral men were wounded. Then the long march from Guanica to Ponce was ordered. ‘The men were laden with three days’ ra- tions, a canteen, a roll of rubber and wool- en blankets and 120 rounds of ammunition, besides their arms. They were driven like cattle, and after the first five miles the road was so rough that one could hardiy keep his footing. The only water that could be had wasn’t fit to drink. It ran through ditches dug to irrigate the land. The cat- tle waded through it and the natives wash- ed their clothes and emptied their garbage into it. Is it any wonder *the men dropped ill and exhausted? They pleaded that they could go no further. One whole company of regulars, including their captain, gave out."’~ Colonel Woodward was asked if his resig- nation was due to his refusal to obey what he had declared in a former interview were the orders of General Garretson—to shoot the stragglers. “I would not,” he replied, “carry out cer- tain orders concerning my regiment which would work untold hardships on the men after they had endured almost superhuman toils. I can’t tell you that the orders were to kill men many of whom I know per- sonally, but I will say that there was a meritioning of shooting. I can give no de- tails of the trouble until I have made my report to Governor Wolcott. In that report a history of the whole affair will be iven.”” z Narrating the hardships the men of his regiment suffered in Porto Rico, Colonel Woodward asked: “Would a shoot men under such cir- cums’ 2 “My resignation,” he continued, “‘was ten- dered upon my refusal to obey the orders. Those of the officers who are now with me followed at once, and all the captains would have done the same, but they had been de- tached and assigned to other regiments,” — CHARGED WITH COWARDICE Captain Biddle of Company 0, 4th Ohio Vol- unteers, Under Arrest at Arroyo. “Run, Boys; They're a Thonsand to 0 ie,” He is Said to Have Com- manded His Men. From the New York Herald, Today. ARROYO, Porto Rico, August 12, 1898. Captain Biddle of Company C, ith Ohio Volunteers, is still here under arrest and awaiting court-martial for alleged coward- ice in the skirmish with (hs Spaniard few miles out of Arroyo. The cable has carried the bare news to New York that Captain Biddle’s company beat an inglo- rious retreat while they were on the skir- mish line and were attacked unexpectedly by Spanish sharpshooters. The details of Captain Biddle’s arrest, though, will be news in the United States. Had the captain of Company C not tried to throw the responsibility on a man who was miles away from the scene of Company C's rout, and who was not even connected directly with the service, he would proba- bly not be under arrest today, although his position even then would not be enviable. Company C, with other companies of Colonel Coit’s command, tad been detailed to beat the foothills a’ few miles beyond Arroyo in quest of a possible enemy :urk- ing under the cover of thiek woods. It was thought the Spaniards had retired miles beyond the point where the attack took place, but the reconnoissance had been de- cided upon as an extra measure of pre- caution before General Brooke's movement forward to form the junction with Gener Wilson really commenced. Biddle Lost His Head. The unexpectedness of the attack prob- ably had much to do with Cap loss of head and the p into which he threw his company. As his men deployed as skirmishers were advancing the men called back and forth and chaffed one an- other on what they called tveir “rabbit hunt.” They were saying that the Sp2 jards for whom they were looking were Probably shivering in San Juan, when there was a whiz, @ snapping of leaves, a erin ; aire at Tie of bark and little eruptions’ of “Hello, the rabbit is n Tun,” exclaimed one of ‘the sdldiers Bae dle's men were slipping behind the trees and bushes and preparing to make a stand, es some one gave the command to re- at. “Run, boys; thes came the comman rea seaoee to one!” n as the men were pre- parting to make a brave re: stance against their as yet invisible foe. aera It is alleged that Capt. command. Had this been and had not commanding officer running with his back to the fire they would have stood their agen a eee just as bravely as they did when they received their baptis ¥ fire at Guayam: pacar as ere They Found Biddle. Capt. Biddle, it is alleged, was found hid- ing in a culvert under the roadway. After Gen. Hains and members of the staff heard of the attack they started for the front to rally the demoralized skir- mishers. Gen. Hains and his staff officers blocked the flight and shamed the flying soldiers into turning toward the foe. But as they turned they said: ‘It is not our fault; we were ordered to retreat.” Capt. Biddle when brought before Gen. Hains and asked for an explanation sai¢ 1 did not order retreat; the flight was all the fault of a hewspaper correspondent whom the men mistook for an officer. He shouted: ‘Run, boys; the Spanish are at- tacking us. Not only did Capt. Biddle say that a cor- respondent had ordered the retreat, but he amed the correspondent. As it happened the newspaper man whom Capt. Biddle ac- cused had been talking with Gen. Hains in his headquarters at Arroyo when the at- tack took place. Gen. Hains remembered this. The correspondent had ridden out with Gen. Hains to help rally the fly ne Ohioans. The accusation had reely S8- ed the lips of Capt. Biddle when the order came: “Place that man under arrest.” Capt. Biddle was taken back to Arroyo, where he is still awaiting trial. i re ened MORE SPANIARDS SURRENDER. Biddle gave that panicky alarm not the men seen their Surprised, but Were Glad to Leave Cuba. Gen. Shafter, at Santiago, telegraphed the War Department last night as follows: “Maj. Miley has just returned from Bara- coa and Sagua de Tenamo. At the two places there were 1,756 officers and men surrendered; stands of arms and 4 000 rounds of ammunition, five Krupp guns, ranging in caliber from 5 inches down to inches. Troops were very short of food, but fifteen days’ rations were given chem by Maj. Miley and a large amount of Red Cross supplizs landed at the same tim both places. These troops knew noth: whatever of the destruction of Cervera’s fieet, the fall of Santiago, or any liter nts. They accepted the situation, how- 2ver, and appeared to be glad at ihe op- pertunity of getting home. Maj. Miley states that on the coor of the commandiag officer was posted a bulletin purporting to be a telegram from the naval commander at Manila informing Sagasta of his great victory over Dewey at Manila, and Sa- gasta’s thanks to him for the same. Coun- try in th2 vicinity of these towns in the same condition as that here—utterly de- stroyed and grown up. Inhabitants said that in eighteen months they would be able to harvest their crop of bananas, which is tke principal product of Baracoa. A regi- ment of insurgents were found im th vicin- ity of each place camped within «a few nun- dred yards of Spanish troops, calmly cb- serving each other.” a PARADED IN THE RAIN. at New York Soldiers Subjected to Hard- ship Put in Bad Shape. From the New York Herald, Today. HEMPSTEAD PLAINS, L. IL, Wednes- day.—Knowledge that the Sons of the Rey- olution were to present colors to three reg- iments and three batteries here, and that the troops were to be reviewed, brought eight thousand persons here today. A stand for the Sons of the Revolution had been er2cted on the parade ground and draped with American flags. At a quarter of 5 o’clock the sky was clear and first as- sembly was sounded. Almost without warn- ing rain began to fall in sheets. Col. Hubbell, 201st Regiment, looked out of his tent and saw the companies of his ccmmand standing in th> street and called to Maj. Rand and the adjutant to dismiss the men at once. He then reported his action to Col. Schuyler. Col. Stephen Y. Seyburn, commanding the 202d Regiment, marched his men from the extrem: left over the hill and halted them there to await orders, instead of dismissing them. The distance was about a mile. Col. Sey- burn is severly criticised by office and it is intimated that Gen. Gillespie, com- manding the Department of the East, may want to know something about this parade in the rain. The men wer> drenched to the skin and ar? in bad condition tonight. Col. Schuyler, sceing Col. Seyburn’s regiment standing out on the plains, sent an orderly to inform him to take his men immediately to his camp. The storm raged until 6 o’cleck. Several tents were blown down and a buggy con- taining two women wes dlown over. Guards seized the horse and prevented it fiom running away. The colors were presented in the officers’ mess tent of the 203d Regiment. Chairman Thompson of the Sons of the Revolution presented them and made a brief address: Col. Schuyler, replying for all the organi- zations, thanked the Sons of the Revolu- ticn. 0+ Lieut. Pershing Promoted. Lieut. John J. Pershing, 10th Cavairy, has been promoted to be major of volunteers.

TACT WITH THE CUBANS Gen. Wheeler Tells How to Manage the Ineurgents. Comments on the Change of Battle Conditions From Those in the Civil W Some of General Wheeler's friends re- marked to him here yesterday that his ap- pearanc? suggested that another campaign like Santiago would act upon him like the spring of perpetual youth. He is a little thinner than he was before he went into the war, but he is bronzed, and his eyes are bright, his step springy and his move- ments full of energy. He looks five years younger than before he endured the hard- ships of the campaign. General Wheeler will remain in the army until the volunteers under his command are mustered out, or until December. His re-election to Congress is said to be as- sured, practically without opposition, and the reassembling of Congress will demand his attention in that body after December. Tke general speaks very modestly about his part in the Santiago campaign, in fact, not talking about himself at all, and ac- cepting congratulations with extreme mod- esty. But he speaks in very high praise of the American army, and says that he thinks it has demonstrated that we can in this coun- try raise an army in a very short time, ca- pable of contending against the army of any nation on earth. The spirit and cour- ge of the men, he says, is indomitable, and with drill and training they become the best soldiers that can be conceived of. Speaking of the Cubans, General Wheeler says that his impression of them some- what different from that prevailing. Tact Needed With Cuban The Cuban soldiers, he said, were ragged and half famished, and so debilitated that as much should not be expected of them as some seem to expect, and, moreover, the difference of custom, mode of life and lan- guage led to a lack of understanding be- tween them and our own people. He said that he found, however, that if care was taken to employ competent interpreters and to explain to them fully purposes and mo- tives, they accepted the situation and acted of their ability, As an example of this, he spoke of a colonel of the Cuban army who reported to him “to co-operate with the American army “I told him,” said the general, to Gen. Chaffee for orders. To this he re- plied that he had his orders from the com- manding Cuban general, but when I ~ex- plained to him with care the impossibility of co-op2ration if he followed the orders of the Cubar general instead of the American “to report general, he accepted the si d re- ported to Gen. Chaffee for The same thing ha ned in conne the work on the roads. The int very clear,and somtimes the tran sulted in the use of terms that wer and calculated to offend the prid> of the Cubans. But w as taken to ain awa a'ong very we The general, in reply to 2 > impression he got of t Subans to govern themselves, exp pinion that they would d and added that the Cubans must not be judged by their ragged army, that we did lways meet in the field the best cla: nS, and that there were many men connected With the Cuban caus: who possessed ability in the line necessar to self-government. Change in Battle Condition The general said that when he first went into battle the great difference between the conditions surrounding the fight now and those surrounding the great battles of the civil war impressed him strongly. “During the war,” he id, “we fought at close range and there was tremendous noise and smoke. x n this war the range of’ fire was SO yards or more; there was very little noise. and the use of smokeless powder disposed of the smoke of battle. It seemed strange te me, when the fighting first began, not being able to see any smoke, hearing none of the ordinary noise, and seeing the men fall about me. I saw pretably the first man struck in the fight. He was near r nd I went to him just as he had fallen, and could se? no mark where he had been struck, yet ne vas in the last agony of death and died in a few minutes, almost in- stantly. I heard no noise, I had seen noth- ing and could not ev © wound on him, and yet he was there dying. “We undid his belt, and there was just the least hole where the ball had gone right through his body. The range of fire is so great with the modern guns that ¢ls- tance seemed to make little difference in the matter of da There is no such thing as seeking y in the rear of the line of fire. When we got up to within five hundred yar: why practically the whole army was exposed to the fire, those in the rear being in danger, as well as those for- ward.” The Charge on San Juan. Speaking of the capture of San Juan hill, Gen. Wheeler said that it had not been his intention to make the a It when they did; that they marched to a cer- tain point, and intended to remain there. He was in command, and two considera- tions led him to order the army to go ahead. One was that they were exposed to fire where they were and were in as much danger at that distance as they would be in making the assault, and another was that Gen. Lawton’s command, which was to come up from the southeast, might have advanced to a position where the assist- ance of the forces under Gen. Wheeler would be needed. The intention had been to remain where he was until Lawton should come up, but the uncertainty as to how far Lawton had advanced and the fact that Gen. Wheeler's command was exposed as much where they were as they would be in the advance led to the forward move- ment at once. Why No Retreat Was Made. The depressing condition of affairs on the Ist of July, when the dispatches received here caused such anxiety and even fear of disaster, Gen. Wheeler said, was due to the absolute discomfort and suffering of the whole army, having had to wade through the San Juan river, wet to their skins, and not being in a condition to withstand a se- vere attack by a strong force; but that they had determined that after the progressive victories which had been won by our troops the enemy would not be in a condition to make such an attack any more than our troops were in a condition to repo! it, and therefore our men stood their ground, and future events speedily terminated ail thought of retiring from a foot of ground that they had occupied. 2+ a SIX DEATHS REPORTED. Fatal Ravages of Dixease Among the Soldiers in Cuba. Six deaths among the troops at Santiago vere reported by Gen. Shafter to the War Department last night. His dispatch con- cerning the health conditions of the Amer- ican forees follows: ‘Sanitary report for August 16—Total number sick, 1,516; total number fever cases, 1,139; total number new fever cases, ‘ total number fever Cases returned to duty, 236. “Deaths August 12—Private John W.
