4 THE SAN FRANCISCO OCALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, REPORTS ON THE - CUBAN CAMPAIGN General S’ha'ftér' Gives the Details. INCOMPLETE PREPARATIONS BUT CONDITIONS DID NOT AD- MIT OF ANY DELAY." Supplies Had to Be Taken Over a Narrow Wagon Road, and Fear Was Entertained of Ships Being Driven to bea. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—General Shafter’s report of the campaign which terminated in the fall of Santiago has been made public. He briefly recounts the organization of the expedition and its embarkation, and then devotes the malin body of the report to the active operations about Santiago. General Shafter says the expedition was under- taken in compliance with telegrahpic instructions of May 30 from headquar- ters of the army, in which it was stated: ‘““Admiral Schley reports that two cruisers and two torpedo-boats have been seen in the harbor of San- tiago. Go with your force to capture garrison at Santiago and assist in cap. turing harbor and fleet.” After reciting the delay at Tampa, due to inadequate facilities, General Bhafter se that on June 1 he received orders to sail without delay, but not | with less than 10,000 men. After some | transports had already reached the| lower be telegraphic instructions | were received from the Secretary of ‘War directing that the sailing of the expedition be delayed awalting further | This delay was occasioned by | vy reporting that a Spanisa war had been sighted in the Nicholas i anel. The ships In the lower bay | were immediately recalled. The expe- | dition sailed on June 14 with 815 officers | and men. . Gene Shafter hbriefly covers the| trip and landing and his first meeting | with General Garcia, adding: "Dur-i ing the interview General Garcia of- | fered the services of his troops, com- | prising about 4000 men, in the vicinity | of Aserradores, and about 5000 under General Castillo at the little town of Cujababa, a few miles east of Baiquiri. I accepted his offer, impressing it upon him that I could exercise no military control over him except such as he would concede, and as long as he served | under me I could furnish him rations and ammunition.” After conferring with Admiral Sunp-‘ son and General Garcia, the plan of | campaign was outlined by General| Shafter. The disembarkation was to| commence on the 22d at Balquiri, with | feints by the Cubans on Cabanas and by the navy at various shore points in | order to mislead the enemy as to the place of landing. General Shafter says: *“These move- ments permitted me to approach San- tiago from the east over a narrow road, at first in some places no better than | a trail, running from Balquiri through | Siboney and Sevilla, and making at- | tack from that quarter. This, in my opinion, was the only feasible plan and | subsequent information and results | confirmed my judgment.” | Of the early operations and the skir- | mish, in which the Rough Riders par- ticipated, he says: General Young's brigade passed beyond Lawton in the night of the 23d and 24th, | thus taking the advance, and on the | morning of {he latter date became engag- | ed with a Spanish force entrenched in a strong position at La Guasima, a point on the Santiago road about thirty miles from Siboney. General Young's force sisted of one squadron of the First | avalry, one of the Tenth Cavalry and two of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, in all 964 officers and men. The orders the n enem ade an obstinate resistance, but were driven from the fleld with consid- erable loss. Our own loss was one offi- cer and fifteen men killed, six officers and fifty-six men wounded. =The report- ed losses of the Spaniards were nine killed and twenty-seven wounded. The engagement had an inspiring effect on our men, and, doubtless, correspondingly depressed the enemy, as it was plainly demonstrated to them that they had ty face a foe who would advance upon them under a heavy fire delivered from en- trenchments. “General Wheeler, division commander, was present during the en- gagement, and reports that our troops, | officers and men, fought with the great- | est gallantry.

The attack at this point was to be delayed until Lawton’'s guns were heard at El Caney and his infantry firing showed he had become well engaged. The preparations were far from what I de- sired them to be, but we were in a sickly climate, our supplies had to be brougnt forward by a narrow wagon. road which the rains might at any time render im- passable; fear was entertained that a storm might drive the vessels containing our supplies to sea, thus parting us from our base of supplies, and, lastly it was reported that General Pando, with 8000 reinforcements for the enemy, was en route from Manzanillo and might be ex- ected in a few days. Under these con- slliunu I determined to give battle with- out delay. The report goes on to give in detail an account of the fighting that led up to the surrender of Santiago by the Spaniards. Gallantry of division, bri- gade and regimental commanders and officers of lesser rank is duly praised. General Shafter then gives the de- tails of the final surrender, his entry into the city of Santiago and the rais- ing of the American flag. In closing he says: Before closing my report I wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles I had to encounter and which no foresight could have overcome or obviated. The rocKy and precipitous coast afforded no shelter for landing places, the roads were mere bridle paths, the effect of the tropical sun and rains upon_ unacclimated troops ‘was deadly, and a dread of strange and unknown diseases had its effect on the army. Al’ Baiquiri the landing of the troops and stores was made at a small wooden ‘wharf, which the Spaniards tried to burn, but unsuccessfully, and the animals were pushed into the water and guided to a nand{ beach about 200 yards in extent. At Sibone; the landing was made on the beach and at a small wharf erected by the engineers. I had neither the time nor front on which to encamp our troops. It was not until nearly two weeks after | the army landed that it was possible to | place on shore three days’ supplles in | excess of those required for the dally | eonsumption. On June 30 I reconnoitered the country about Santiago and made | my plan of attack. From a high hill, | from which the .city was in plain view, | I could see the San Juan hill and coun- | try about El Caney.. The foads were | very poor, and, in fact,.little better than bridle paths until the San Juan River and El Caney were reached. 3 General Shafter explained at a meet- irg of generals his plan of battle, which follows: ! J Lawton's division, assisted by Capron’s light battery, was ordered to move ou during the' afternoon toward Kl (‘aE ney to begin the attack there early the next morning. After carrying El Caney Lawton was to move by the Caney road’ toward San tiago and take.a position on-the right of the line. Wheeler's division of dis- mounted cavalry and Kent's division of infantry were directed on the Santiago ADVERTISEMENTS. | Pears’ Pretty boxes and odors are used to: sell such soaps as no one would touch if he saw them un- disguised.

FOUR' VICTIMS "HAVE DIED BALANCE -QUARANTINED ON A HOP RANCH. Quillayutes Afflicted’ With a Conta- glous Plague Work in the Field With Whites for Days. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Bept. 14—One hundred Quillayute Indians are quarantined on Gardella’s hop ranch, near Sumner, suffering from an epidemic of highly contagious black measles. The county officials put quarantine regulations in force this morning after an investi- gation. Guards were posted, two to watch by day and two by night. None of the Indlans are permitted to leave the camp. Plenty of water and wood is provided for them. These Indlans are from Quillayute reservation, on the Pacific Ocean, north of Grays Harbor. They arrived here in canoes Jtwo, weeks ago, ex- pecting ‘to earn their winter spending money picking hops. They were first employed on a hop ranch near the County Poor Farm, between Puyallup and Sumner. It was while there the dreaded black measles broke out, and within a few days four Indians had died. The Indlans then became panlc- stricken. The disease was spreading rapldly among them and they deter- mined to leave. In the darkness, a few nights ago, they broke camp and si- lently stole away. Concealing the fact that the disease had broken out among them with fatal effects, they applied for and obtained work picking hops at Gardella’s ranch. There were white pickers there, how- ever, and they were not long in learn- ing what had happened. Dr. Corliss of Sumner was notified and visited the Indians. He found -them suffering from black medsles in its most virulent form, several of the Indians being nearly dead. Absolutely nothing had been done to check Its progress, the In- dians attributing its' presence to anger on the part of evil spirits. Corliss promptly recommended quarantining the entire band, and lent his assist- ance. . It will probably be weeks before the disease can be stamped out and the quarantine removed. When the Indians are released hop picking will be over. | They will go home empty-handed, and | there will be mourning in the lodges of the Quillayute brayes this winter when the chill winds how! down their reserv- ation shores. Before the sick Indians were quaran- tined hundreds of white pickers were exposed to the black measles. Con- sternation prevails among them in fear of a general epidemie. It is certain the Quillayutes brought the disease from thelr reservation. g: CURRENCY DISCUSSIONS AT THE OMAHA FAIR National Committeeman Towne Sup- ports Silyer and Is Replied to by Ex-Governor Carey. OMAHA, Sept. 14.—In taking the chair to preside for the ‘“silver day” at the monetary c¢onference, Senator Allen of Nebraska voiced a hearty welcome on be- half of his State to the champions of all | sides of the money question who had met to discuss the merits of their respective claims, At the morning session of the confer- ence, Mr. Crawford, who was to have spoken yesterday, but did not reach ‘Omaha In time, read his paper, and when he had finished, Chairman Towne of the Silver Republican National Commlittee de- livered his address upon *‘The Colnage and Use of Silver as Standard Money Co- ordinately With Gold.” Former Senator Carey of Wyoming re- plied to Mr. Towne. The principal speakers at the afternoon session were George Fred Willlams of | Boston and Congressman C. N. Fowler of Elizabeth, N. J. Mr. Williams was the first to s . His conversion to the silver theory he attributed to a philanthropic reason involved In what was to him a great question. He was followed by Anson Wolcott of Indiana, who reviewed financlal legisla- tion with a purpose to show that it had been destructive of the circulating med- ium; Judge Joseph Sheldon of Connecticut, who upheld the gquantitative theory o money; President Thomas E. Wills of the Kansas Agricultural College, who dls- counted the value of academic opinions on economic questions generally. ‘ealth dominated, he said, institutions of learn- ing, and he cited the case of fessor Andrews of Brown University to show | that college professors dare not teach views contrary to the interests of the rich. Then Congressman Fowler occupied the platform for a half hour with a defense of the gold standard. o s Advances made on furniture and planos, with Council, Young Men's Institute, for the use of its beautiful banner, This afternoon many gubject gard to the welfare of the’oré:rh:v; discussed.

BOUGHT BY A SYNDICATE SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAGNATE AT ITS HEAD. Deal Includes Practically the Entire Electric System in the South- ern California Me- tropolis. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS. ANGELES, Sept. 14—The Los Angeles Railway. Company’s, property, which includes a system of electric street railways practically covering the entire city of Los Angeles, has passed Into the hands of a syndicate of Southern Pacific capitalists, of which- H. E. Huntington is the head. The details of the transaction involve the issue of $5,000,000 in bonds by the new corporation. Of this amount $4,000,000 is to be devoted to cancelling the $3,000,000 bond issue of the old cor- poration, to the discharge of a float- ing indebtedness of $400,000 and to cer- tain improvements to be made in the property. The bonds of the new com- pany are to bear 5 per cent interest.. The price paid for the property of the old company is said to bhave been $3,900,000. The -officials of the Los Angeles Rail- way in this city decline to discuss the question of this transfer, but the in- formation obtained comes from an in- side saurce, and the attempt’ to sup- press it proved futile. The deal was consummated by General M. H. Sher- man, who organized the Los Angeles Railway Company. In 1891 he came to Los Angeles from Phoenix, Ariz. He had been a school teacher there, but by shrewd speculation had accumulated a fortune of §500,000. General Sherman proceeded to fn- vest his entire fortune in the construc- tion of a system of electric street rail- ways, which overed the city as it then was. It was the first electric system in Los Angelés. There was at that time a system of cable street railways here, owned by Chicago -capitalists. It passed into the hands of a receiver, and later was consolidated with General Sherman’s company. ‘The cable was abandoned and the lines electricized. ‘The Chicago people lost $2,000,000 by their investment. ! Among other corporations: that as- sisted General Sherman in financing his scheme was the Pacific Bank. ‘When it went to the wall the Los An- geles Rallway followed, and it was for Francisco capitalists, including: the Bank of California, took the property ing F. W. Wood general manager. For three years the road has been operated under his management. ‘With no desire to cast any reflec- tions upon Mr. Wood's management, it may be stated that the Los Angeles Railway has never paid a dividend to its stockholders. The et income has been devoted to extending and improv- ing the property. The city has exper- ienced a wonderful growth and numer- ous extensions have heen made. , Ten weeks ago General Sherman went to San Francisco and the result is the consummation of this deal, by McLean, Dr. Hemphill and Rabbi M. ‘8. Levy have to say about Spiritism .and the conclusions reached by Dr. Hodgson of the American Soclety of years' investigation, 2 which, it 1s understood, he will net about $1,500,000. He held between 40 and 45 per cent of the stock of the old .company. It is understood that Gen- ‘eral Sherman has purchased numer- ous securities of the old company held San Francisco at a very low figure. some time operated by a receiver. San | in and reorganized the company, mak-, These securities will now have a very healthy value and General’ Sherman | will profit materially thereby. The general ‘was seen at the West- minster Hotel, but declined to talk. Manager F. W. Wood likewise was si- lent. Investments in Los Angeles street- car properties have not for ten years been profitable. Something like $4,000,- 000 has been lost by original investors in that character of property in Los Angeles since 1888. The experience of others never stopped continued devel- opment in this line. An electric road wad constructed to Pasadena and one to Sarta Monica. Both ‘of these wesrs built by General Sherman, who ob- | tained the investment of the money ne- | cessary to construct the lines. They | are not, however, included in the deal which has been made.. In the city an- other line has been built, known as the | Traction Company. It is a cross-town | road and the money which built it came from New York City. The Trac- tion Company is still in the hands of its original owners and apparently has | been a money-making proposition. The new company will have many new im- provements, for the reason that the streets of. this city are being paved with asphaltum and the expense of paving about half of the highway falls on the company. REDDING LAW STUDENT W00S SUDDEN DEATH Frank Bartlett Shoots Himself in the Head and Cannot Survive s His Wound . < REDDING, Sept. 14—Frank Bartlett, a young law student, was found In his room in his brother’s residence at Wea- verville , this morning with a gaping pistol shot wound in his head. He was very weak from loss of blood, but was still alive‘late this afternoon. His wound has been pronounced fatal. The would-be suicide is but 22 years of age, and had bright prospects before him.
