Gen. Shaf- ter says that the expedition -gainst Santi- ago was undertaken in compltance with or- ders from the headquarters of the army, telegraphed May 30. He recounts the diffi- culties and delays in embarking at Tampa. Finally the expedition sailed June 14 with SID offic and 16,072 men. Garcia's Offer. speaks of his interview with Gen. on his arrival in Cuba. “During the interview, “Gen. Garcia offered the services of his troops, comprising about 4,000 men in the vicinity of Aserraderos and about 500, under Gen. Castillo, at the little town of Cujababo, a few miles east of Dai- quiri.

Mme. Siccardi, Gen. Shafter’s Plan.

General Shafter then goes into detail to the disposition of the various divisio at Caney and San Juan af and gives a description of the course und progress of the troops in the battles. Speaking of the final wvit on San Juan hill General Shafter, says: Charge on San Juan Hill, “After completing their formation under @ destructive fire and advancing a short Gistance both divisions found in their front a wide bottom, tn which had been placed a Under these condi- determined to give battle without arbed wire entan, lement, and beyond h there was @ high hill, along the crest of which the enemy strongly posted. Nothing daunted thes gallant men pushed on to drive the enemy from his chosen position, both divisions losing heavily. In this assault Colonel Hamilton, Lieutenants Smith and Shipp were killed, ard Colonel Carroll, Lieutenants Thayer and Myer, all in the cavalry, were wound- ed. “Great credit is due to Brigadier Gen- eral H. 8. Hawkins, who, placing him- self between his regiments, urged chem on by voice and bugle calls’ to the attack so brilliantly executed. “In this fierce encounter words fail to do justice to the gallant regimental com- manders and their heroic men, for, while the generals indicated the formations and the points of attack, it was, after ail, the intrepid bravery of the subordinate officers and men that planted our colors on the crest of San Juan hill and drove the e! emy from his trenches and block houses, thus gaining a position which sealed the fate of Santiago. “In this action on this part of the ‘eld most efficent service was rendered by Lieutenant John H. Parkey, 12th Infantry, and the Gatlirg gun detachment under kis command. The fighting continued at in- tervals until nightfall, but our men held resolutely to the positions gained at the cost of so much blood and toil. “I am greatly indebted to General Wheeler, who, aS previousiy stated, _re- turned from the sick list to duty during the afternoon. His cheerfulness and ag- gressiveness made itself felt on this part of the battlefield, and tke information he furnished to me at various stages of the battle proved to be most useful. “My own health was impaired by over- exertion in the sun and intense heat of the day before, which prevented me from par- ticipating as actively in the battles as I desired, but from a high hill near my head- quarters I had a general view of the battle- field, extending from El Caney on the right to the left of our lines on San Juan Hill.” General Shafter follows In detail the movements of the troops and the intrench- ing done during the night after the cap- ture of San Juan Hill. He say: “General Duffield, with the 32d Michigan, attacked Aguadores, as ordered, but w: unable to accomplish more than’ to detain the Spaniards in that vicinity. * * * “On the night of July 11 ordered General Duffield, at Siboney, to send forward the 84th Michigan and the 9th Massachusetts, both of which had just arrived from the United States. These regiments reached the front the next morning. * * * “All day on the 2d the battle raged with more or less fury, but such of our troops as were in position at daylight held their ground, and Lawton gained a strong and commanding position on the right. “About 10 p.m. the enemy Made a vigor- ous assault to break through my lines, but he was repulsed at all points. “On the morning of the &i the battle was renewed, but the enemy seemed to have expended his energy in the assault of the previous night, and the firing along the lines was desultory until stopped by my sending the following letter within the Spanish lines.” General Shafter then gives the dispatches © | passing between ‘him and Goneral ‘Toral, al- ready published. He proceeds: “I was of the opinion that the would surrender if given a little time, and I thought this result woukl be hastened if the men of their army could be made to understand they would be well treated as prisoners of war. Acting upon this pre- sumption, I determined to offer to return all the wounded Spanish officers at El Caney who were able to bear transporta- tion, and who were willing to give their paroles not to serve against the forces of the United States until regularly ex- changed. This offer was made and accept- ed. These officers, as well as several of the wounded Spanish privates—twenty-sev- en in all—were sent to their lines under the escort of some of our mounted cavalry. Our troops were received with honors, and I hhave every reason to believe the return of the Spanish prisoners produced a good im- préssion on their comrades. The Siege. “The cessation of firing about noon on the 34 practically terminated the battle of San- tiago; all that occurred after this time may properly be treated under the head of the siege which followed. After deducting the detachments retained at Siboney and Dai- quiri to render those depots secure from attack, organizations held to protect our flanks, others acting as escorts and guards to light batteries, the members of the hos- pital corps. guards left in charge of blanket rolls, which the intense heat caused the men st aside before entering battle, etc., it is doubtful ig we had more .000 men on the firing line on July . when the battle was fiercest, and when the important and strong positions of El Caney and San Juan were captured. “A few Cubans assisted in the attack of Bi Caney, ani fought valiantly, but their rvmbers were too small to materially change the strength indicated abov The enemy confrented us with numbers about equal to our own; they fought obst ately in strong and intrenched positions, and the results obtained cl intica the intr Mantry of the © ficers and men, and the benefits derived from the careful training and instruction given in the company in recent ye rifle 2 practice and other battle sses 'n these | F S men kille; men wounded; with few e: Gen. E eario at Saatiago was not anticipated. He says: Gen. Garcia, with between 4,000 and 5,000 Cubans, was intrusted with the duty of watching for and intercepting the rein- forcements expected. Th however, he failed to do, and Escario passed Into’ the city along on my extreme right and near the bay.” Dei nd for Surrender. After speaking of Admiral Cervera’s sor- tie, and the destruction of his fleet, Gen. after says he again called on the Span- ish commander to surrender. “On the same date I informed Admiral Sampson that if he would force his way into the harbor the city would surrender without any further sacrifice of life. Com- nicdore Watson ed that Admiral nt, but that navy should not enter the harbor.” . * * . . . * “The strength of the enemy’s position was such I did not wish 1d be avoided. ‘An examination of the to assault if it enemy's works, made after the surrende fully just dom of the course adopted.

In closing he says: before closing my _ report I wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles J had to encounter and which no foresight coun have overcome or obviated. The rocky and precipitous coast afforded no sheltered iand- ing pi the roads were mere bridle paths, effect of the tropical sun and deadly nis surrend that as he the rains upon. unacclimated troops was dead and a dread of strange and unknown dis. eases has its effect on the army. “At Daiquiri the landing of the troops and Stores was 1 at a small wooden wharf which the Spaniards tried to burn, but un- successfully, and the animals were pushed into the water and guided to a sandy beach about 200 yards in extent. At Siboney the landing was made on the beach and at a wharf erected by the engineer: r the time nor the men to small had neil to construct nent wharves. “In spite ‘act that I had nearly 1,000 n continuously at work on the roads were at times impassable for wagons. The San Juan and Aguadores riv- ers would often suddenly rise, so as to pre- vent the passage of wagons, and then the eight pack trains with the command had to be depended upon for the victualing of my army as well as the 20,000 refugees, who covld not, in the interests of humanity, be left to starve while we had rations. Often for days nothing could be moved except on pack trains. Appearance of Yellow Fever. “After the great physical strain and ex- posure of July 1 and 2 the malarial and other fevers began to rapidly advance throughout the command, and on July 4 the yellow fever appeared at. Siboney. Though efforts were made to keep this fact from the army, it soon became known. “The supply of quartermaster and com- missary stores during the campaign was abundant, and notwithstanding the difficui- ties in landing and transporting the ration the troops on the firing line were at all times supplied with its coarser components, namely, of bread, meat, sugar and coffee. There was no lack of transportation, for at no time up to the surrender could all the wagons I had be used. “In reference to the sick and wounded I have to say that they received every at- tention that it was possible to give them. The medical officers without exception worked night and day to alleviate the suf- fering, which was no greater than invari- ably accompanies a campaign. It would have been better tf we had more ambu- lances, but as many were taken as was thought necessary, judging from previous campaigns. “The discipline of the command was su- perb, and I wish to invite attention to the fact that not an officer was orought to trial by court-martial, and, as far as 1 know, no enlisted men. This speaks vol- umes for an army of this size and in a campaign of such duration. “In conclusion I desire to express to the members of my staff my thanks for their efficient performance of all the duties re- quired of them and the good judgment and Eravery displayed on all occasions when demanded.” General Shafter recommends the promo- tion and brevets the following officers: Lieut, Col. E. J. McClernand, Lieut. Col. Geo. McC. Derby, Lieut. Col. J. D. Miley, Maj. R. H. Noble, Lieut. Col. J. J. Astor, Lieut. Col. B. F. Pope, Maj. S. W. Groes. peck, Lieut. Col. Charles F.
