I must now declare that my object in moving my forces on Santiago de Cui and meeting the admiral of States navy has been to obey the orders I received from the council of government to obey and respect the orders and instruc- tions of the commanders of the American army on their commencing operations in the territory under my command. On the 20ch at 2:30 o’clock the general of brigade, commander of brigade of Ramon de Jas Taguas, Demetrio Castillo, landed in Aserraderos from Sagua, brought over by an American man-of-war, A short time after I was advised that Maj.

The following day the general of the division, Augustin Cebreco, marched toward the the forces division, with the object of preventing the enemy from reinforcing its garrisons of the coast in that part, and at 8 p.m. a force of 530 men belonging to the division of Baya- mo, and commanded by Brigadier General Castillo, was shipped on board an American transport to go to the rein- of the brigade cf Ramon, protect the landing of the American army on Santiago by the east. These forces landed advanced at once on Daiquiri with their commander, Col. Carlos Gonzalez, and with 500 men of the brigade of Ramon, under Brigadier General Castillo. The Spaniards which Castillo occupied as the American navy began to bombard it, but firing was suspended as soon as our flag was hoisted. The First Landing. The Americans landed their first regi- merts at Daiquiri and advanced on meza and Siboney, with the Cuban forces always in the vanguard, first to occupy sald the landing of American troops was con- tinued, while the Cuban forces under Col.

With this evolution the circle was completed, the west of the city being pied by the forces of the division of neous uba day, some regiments and cannon having | as far as the shores of the bay, including already ajvanced. In the extreme van- gvard, in sight of the fortified Spanish out- Posts, was Colonel Carlos Gonzalez, com- manding a division of Bayamo and a part of the brigsade of Ramon Ge las Taguas. On the 30th I encamped with my forces at El Salado, nine miles from Siboney and fcur and a half miles from Santiago. At the same point General Shafter establish- ed his headquarters. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon I received orders to place myself at Marianajo, between Caney and San Juan, to protect against any attack from the enemy the batteries, which were going to tire on both points, should the enemy come from Santiago. At the commencement of the attack on Santiago there were 15,000 men in the American army. There were 4,000 Cubans under my immediate orders around the city. At 5:30 in the morning of the Ist of July I began the march toward Marianajo and at 7 o'clock I already occupied the Positions allotted to me, in the following order: To the left on San Juan and front- ing Santiago Major General Jose Maria Capote with his column of 1,000 men; next to him, in the center, General of Division Saturnino Lora and 500 men; to the right of the former General of Brigade Fran- cisco Sanchez Hecheverria with his col- umn of 800 men, forming part of General Cebreco’s command, and General Cebreco himself with 500 men of his division. On the right flank, in the heights of Marianajo, were General Rabi and myself, with our staffs and escorts, facing the village of Caney. The Santiago Battles. On the left flank of my forces was an American battery to fire on Fort San Juan and protected by the forces of Colonel Gon- zalez and part of those of Ramon, with scme of the American forces; on the right flank the batteries which were to fire on El Caney, and General Lawton with a di- ion of the American army, which was to assault the village. With that division, and also under General Lawton, were 20) Cubans of Ramon, commanded by Major Victor Duany. All the forces of Ramon were under the direct command of Colone! Carlos Gonzalez. At 7 o'clock the American batteries fired en th> fortifications of the hill of San Juan, the Spaniards answering with their artil lery, and shortly afterward fire also com- menced from the batteries against El Ca- ney, the garrison of the place answering with heavy fire. El Caney was d>fended by troops of the line, or regulars, u ecmmand of Brigadier General Vara del Rey, and San Juan was defended by 2,000 men, also regulars. At 4 p.m., after a gal- fant assault, the Americans took San Juan, its garrison being either killed or made prisoners, except a few who had escaped to Santiago de Cuba. At 6, after repeated as- saults, In which the Cuban forces under Major Duany took part, the Americans oc- cupied El Caney. The garrison of this village perished mostly in the assaults, and those who es- caped died on the field, among them Gen- eral Vera del Rey, who was already fatally wounded. The enemy attempted to make a sortie from Santiago and was repulsed. This day General Linares, commanding the gar- rison, was wounded in the trenches of San- tiago, and turned his command over to General of Division Toral. The Americans advanced to the suburbs of th> city by the road leading from Caney, the vanguard being the Cuban forces under Colonel Gonzalez. Our losses this first day of July were about 100, all our forces being under the enemy’s fire. General Shaftar ordered me to occupy the right flank of his army on the advance on Santiago, and I made a night march, camp- ing at 10 o'clock the same night at the country house Ducureau, after ordering some forces almost on to Santiago. His Advance. At dawn of th I continued to advance by the right flank toward the north side of the city, Gen. Cabreco going with his éivision in the vanguard, and at the ex- treme of the same Gen. Sanchez Heche- verria with his forces. On reaching th> ailway line from Santiago to San Luis the center and vanguard halted, the vanguard oscupying the heights across the line. ~ When Gen. Francisco Sanchez advanced by the railway line on Santiago on the morning of th2 2d, he met four guerrillas, who fired on our forces, which returned the fire and killed them. Col. Ferrero, advanc- ing by the right. met and defeated a guer- rilla band on the hill of Quintero, occupy- ing the position, which he held, as also the height of La Garidad. During the day I ordered a column to advance by the ratl- way line. toward San Luis. The enemy, after a light fire, abandoned the villages of Cuabitas and Boinato and several forts, reconcsntrating in San Vicente. During the whole day of the 2d heavy fire was exchang>d with the enemy in San- tiago, who from the fortifications fired with rifles and guns at our positions. We had ten casualties. This day the Frenca colony left the city, accompanied by the consul of their country, taking shelter un. der our flag. My forces slept in th? po: tions occupied, within rifle shot of the city On the morning of the 3d there w firing with the city. At 10 o'clock the Spanish navy weighed anchor from the bay of Santiago, where it had been for som! weeks, and within one hour it was de- stroyed by the American men-of-war. Ad- mira] Cervera, with his officers and seamen, about 60), escaped to land west of but the Cuban forces on the ¢ pelled them to surrender to Col. Jos? Can- delario Cabreco, who afterward delivered them to the American navy, against a re- ceipt. The Spaniards Filed. At 12 o'clock I ordered a force to fire on the village of San Vicente, which the Span- ish abandoned, retreating toward El Cristo, and they also abandoned Dos Bocas, on the railway line of San Luis. On the night of the 3d, and by the road of El Cobre, a col- umn of the enemy, 5.000 strong, entered the city under Col. Escario, having left Man- zanillo on the 22d of June, and being har- ried by the Manzanillo division up to Baire. From Baire to Palma that column was at- tacked by forces of Gi Francisco Es- trada, suffering heavy losses, the dead hav- ing been left strewn by the read. With that column Lieut. Col. Lora fought, aided by the cavalry of the division of Bayamo, and also my escort of cavalry under Lieut. Col. C. M. Poey. Col. Escario recovered somewhat at Palma, where he left his wounded, and from there in zigzags he ar- rived in Santiago de Cuba by the Cobre road, having sustained some firing. Per- baps the entry of this column into the city might have been prevented had I been able to go to meet it with my forces, but in that case I should have been obliged to abandon my position on the right flank of the American army. On the 4th I received an cfiicial message that the enemy had evacu- ated the town of El Ccbre and the forts Bartolon, Monte Real, Coleto and San Mig- uel. After 12 o'clock firing was suspended to allow Gen. Shafter to parley with the Spanish. As a result of this the Spanish governor permitted all the families to leave the city for fear of a bombardment by the Americans. All the families took refuge in the houses and streets of Cuabitas and El Caney. His Advice to Shafter. On the 7th Gen. Estrada incorporated his forces of 700 men with the besieging army. ‘On this day also some American regimen:s arrived from the United States. My forces continued to guin positions on the right flank, reducing the cycle around the city. On the 9th, the armistice continuing, the enemy asked permission to evacuate the city and retire to Holguin. Gen. Shafter replied that he would submit the proposi- tion to his government. I pointed out to Gen. Shafter the unwisdom of allowing evacuation in that form. I had reliable in- formaticn from Holguin that a strong force under Gen. Nario, about 6,000 or 7,000 men, was ready to come to the assistance of San- tiago de Cuba. In view of this I covered all the roads approaching our rear guard to prevent the enemy realizing their plans, and also to preyeat those who were be- sieged from making a sortie to reach Hol- guin. I reinforced all that part of my line at points where they might make the break. At the same time I repeated the order that the forces of Camaguey, which were in the east, and the two divisions of she off.

Trial of Charles Shafer. The trial of Charles, alias Buck, Shafer, charged with beating his wife and also with assaulting Officer Knight with a gun attracted a large number at the police cour this morning. Shafer had managed to elude the officers since last Friday night by hid- ing along the river shore in an open boat. But yesterday afternoon Sergeant Smith and Officers Knight, Bettis'and Beach, who were on the river searching for him, caught sight of a lone boatman in Georgetown hore. They soon recognized the rower as Shafer. Officer Knight fired two shots ss his bow, when he stopped rowing arid was captured and locked up in the station house last night. The first charge upon which he was tri this morning was that of beating his wife The evidence was conclusive, and the may- or fined him $20.
