beyond. When the troop ship arrived
she found nothing to prevent the i'm
mediate disembarking, and before
nightfall the marines had taken pos
session of the hill and were gayly MAX
ing camp, delighted to escape from the
tedium Of life aboard the transport.
The cowardly retreat of the enemy
under the Marbehead's guns had led
the American officers to believe that
there was little possibility of an at
tack, anG but slight preparations were
made to repel one. Just before sunset
the troops were thrown into line, and
for the first time the American flag
was run up on a Spanish flagstaff, and
the vanguard of the army OF invasion
saluted the Stars and Stripes on Cuban
soil. The sun blistered, barren hill top
took on an appearance more pleasing
to American eyes as the white walled
tents sprang up
AROUND THE FLAGSTAFF
and the uniforms of the American SOL
diers grew numerous among the faded
vegetation and jutting rocks. On the
narrow beach at the base OF the hill

rife and disappeared behind a shack. A
moment later a voley burst from behind
the huts and trees and dropping on their
knees, the marines opened Ilre. AS stead
lily as through a drill they settled them
selves to their work. Their aim was de-
lberate and their firing deadly. The sun
came fiercely down upon their heads, cac-
ii pierced their clothes and pierced their
hands, and Spanish bullets sang contin-
uously above them, but not hand trem-
bled and not a man fiinched. 1t was a
splendid exhibition of cool bravery and it
had its effect upon the enemy.
From the first the Spanish firing was
high and wild and after 20 minutes steady
exchange they began to break from cover
and retreat. There was no panic rush,
the retreat being conducted
IN TRUE GUERILLA FASHION.
In groups Of three and four they jumped
from cover and darted zig-zagging up the
hillside toward a dense thicket which Of
fered shelter Through it all the Cubans
on the American flank were blindly bang
ing away with their rifles, bowling curses
at the Spaniards and waving their ma
chetes. Their contempt for Spanish and
their absolute fearlessness was amply
proved, but their craftsmanship had little
to commend it. When the Spanish routed
and the marines swept down the hillside,
the insurgents went almost wild with de-
light. While the Americans stopped to
burn the camp and destroy the well with
rocks and earth, the Cubans rushed on
into the thicket searching for the fleeing
foe Fifteen dead Spaniards were found
about the camp and thicket and estimates
on the total dead range from 40 to 10
Eleven prisoners were taken and sent
aboard the Marblehead. Two Cubans
were killed and four wounded, but not an
American was hurt. with the exception OF

ing the fire OF Huntington's men. AS
the night wore on without a deter
mined attack, the men began to view
the affair as a huge joke and much
difficulty was experienced by the Off
GERS in keeping their commands under
shelter Throughout Saturday there
were frequent scattering shots from
the bushwhackers and returns from
the HILL but no damage was done in
Camp McCalla, and probably little to
the enemy The latter fought in true
guerilla fashion, covering their bodies
with palm leaves and gently waving
large leaves over their heads. Thus
disguised they crept among the rank
ground growth almost at will, the
sharpest eye being unable to detect
them except when they fired. During
the day the earthworks were strength
ened and additional rife pits were dug.
and Saturday night the wisdom OF Inc
measure was proved. From dark I'M
til daylight the marines lay under an
almost constant fire. Early in the night
a little detachment of five or SIX daring
Spaniards crept close to the hilltop,
dashed through the line of sentrles,
and running straight across the east
ward side of the camp poured a volley
among the startled Americans. 1t was
then that Gibbs, the surgeon, was
killed. with a sergeant and two men.
The guerillas were evidently acting I'M
der a skilled chieftain, for their at
tacks and changes of position came
with bewildering frequency. They fired
from the hills back OF
THE AMERICAN POSITION,
from the low point towards the sea
line, from the direction of the city, and
twice even crept into the bushes on the
beach between the marines and the
warships in the bay. They covered
their approaches and retreats with mar
vellous cunning and older and more ex-
perienced men than the marines might
have been pardoned had they been
stampeded. But through it all the
splendid fellows coolly blazed away,
guided by the rife flashes OF the enemy
and if there was one faint heart IN the
six hundred, it was not found out.
With dawn Sunday the bushWhack-
ers retreated into the hills and although
there was scattering firing, little work

was done, until about 4 in the after
noon. At that hour a body of Spanish
skirmishers was discovered little more
than a mile to the eastward and the
Panther and Marblehead let go their
guns, apparently with telling effect.
The loss of life among the Spanish
must have been heavy, although there
was no opportunity accurately TO deter
mine how many were killed. Towards
night Colonel LaBorda, Of the Cuban
army, arrived with sixty men, and
their camp was pitched near the site of
the burning village, a supply camp I'M
der the guard of twenty marines, hav
irg also been placed there With dark
ness began the bitterest night of the
week for the Americans
Exhausted by their unwonted exer-
lions, without sleep for forty-eight
hours, and worn with intense excite

WERE IN NO CONDITION
for a hard fight. The Spaniards had
evidently determined that the camp was
to be recaptured that night They be-
gan at o'clock with heavy firing from
their favorite position, on the ridge to
the eastward For an hour they poured
their shot from that vicinity, slightly
shifting their position frequently I'M
der the heavy fire of the marines. The
latter fired as coolly and as deliberately
as though at target practice. After an
hour and a half the fire from their held
pieces and rifles dislodged the enemy,
but with the interval Of scarcely halt
hour the Mauser bullets began again 10
whistle over Huntingtons men, this
time from the north. The steady work
from tie hilltop again silenced the
Spaniards and another interval OF rest
succeeded The next attack was from
the ridge close to the water and 70 the
seward from the American position.

beach, firing up the hill at the camp,
out over the bay at the fleet, and along
the shore at their supply camp ana ths

On Board the Associated Press Boat
Dandy, off Guantanamo, Wednesday,
June 15.-Scoured by a blazing trop-
cal sun, harrassed by the persistent
fire Of daredevil Spanish guerillas, and
handicapped by lack of training and
marines of Lieut. Huntington's have
within the week battered their way to
what should be to them lasting fame.
Schooled for the easy life OF marines
aboard ship, and untitled for severe
physical exertion by weeks OF lnactlv-
ity on the cramped decks of the troop
ship Panther, they have rushed into
the dangers and hardships of guer-
lila campaign, with the steady nerves
and patient endurance OF veterans OF
dozen wars. When the story OF the
war with Spain shall have been told
there will be no part of it more cred
table to Americans than that which
Shall deal with the events of the week
since the Panther disembarked her
troops in Guantanamo harbor. One
American officer and five privates have
been killed, but at least 100 Spanish
deaths settle that score.
The Panther steamed up to the
blockading fleet off Santiago at 10
o'clock Friday morning, June 10, and
thirty minutes later had put about I'M
der orders from Admiral Sampson to
proceed to Guantanamo and land
troops. The harbor lies thirty-eight
miles east of Santiago de Cuba, and is
one Of the best on the southern coast
OF the island. The town and fort from
which the bay takes its name lie
ABOUT FIVE MILES BACK
from the coast, a winding channel lead
ing from the main inlet. To the left OF
the entrance is a strip of low swampy
land, while at the right rises range
OF steep rocky hills extending from the
shore line inland for mile, and then
sloping off into the lowlands on which
the city stands. On these bluffs half
mile from the sea line the Spaniards
mad thrown up earthworks and dug
rough rife pits commanding the en-
trance and the day preceding the Pan
TIERS arrival the Marblehead had been
sent to shell this spot. Capt. McCalla
found his task an easy one. Scarcely
half dozen Spanish volleys were fired
at the Marblehead, and two dozen
shells drove the enemy, officers and
