WHERE THE TROOPS LANDED.
Description of the Country Around
Santiago.

description of the Country Around
Santiago.
Washington, June 25.-Armv officer g
were intently scanning the map of the
country around Santiago today with !.
view OF locating the troops and fixing
their formation on the eve of the adj .
vance. Daiquiri is about 3 miles east
from the mouth of Santiago harbor. A
small river runs inland at that point.
anordlng additional facilities for land
ing. The map shows road direct
from Daiquiti to the entrance of Santi-
ago harbor, and thence along the har-
Dor to the city of Santiago. Besides
this road, railroad starts few miles
west OF Daiquiri, running along the
coast up to the mouth of Santiago har-
Dor.
Juragua, the other point mentioned
IN these dispatches, is midway between
Dalqulrl and Santiago harbor. 1t
also has q small stream, giving addi-
nonal facilities for landing, and the
railroad appears to take its start along
the coast from that point
Back of this railroad and highway.
the maps show "a mountainous forma-
ton, which would make the progress
OF an army difficult. 1t seems evident,
from an examination of the army map,
that General Skaters troops at Dali
quiii and Juragua will move westward
along the highway, perhaps utilizing
the railroad and approaching Santiago
from the southeast.
Distinct from this landing, which is
east Of Santiago harbor, it seems evil
dent that ut least part OF General
Skaters force will land west of the
harbor, thus allowing an attack on
Santiago from the northwest. The dis
patches state that demonstration
was made against Cahanas, which is
shown on the military map to be a
small place just west Of Santiago har-
Dor, and not more than two or three
miles from the mouth. Further to the
west is Acerradero, where General
Rabi and General Garcia have large
force OF Cuban troops.l is clearly in
expedient for this Cuban force to make
an inland circuit clear around Santiago
and form junction with General
Shafter to the east Of Santiago har-
Dor. Their natural base, therefore,
will be to the west at Acerraderos. co
operating with such Of General Shat
ter's troops as land to the west of the
harbo1. A road runs from Acerraderos
to Cabanas. No road is shown along
the west line of Santiago harbor, and
the march Of the American and Cuban
troops making the assault on the west
side of the city may be slow and labor
ious, through the tangled tropical un'
derbrush, swamp and rock.

London, June 24.-Reports from
Manila, says special correspondent in
Shanghai, indicate the existence of fears
that Sonora Augustin, wife of General
Augustin, and her children, have been
massacred by the rebels on the Bulacan.
1t is thought, according to the same
advices, that this is the reason for the
unwillingness of General Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, to allow the Brit
ish consul to start to rescue them.

BOUND FOR MANILA,

Monitor Monadnock and Collier Nero
Sailed From San Francisco.
San Francisco, June 25.-The coast
defense monitor Monadnock sailed for
Manila via Honolulu this afternoon.
The collier Nero, which will accom-
pany the Monadnock, went out first.
The warship followed in few min
utes. The men on the Monadnock think
that the ship will maze the trip to
Manila in about % days.
The Monadnock has sufficient coal to
carry her to Honolulu, and will make
that port under her own steam. From
Honolulu the Nero will tow her to
Manila, and the best appliances for
that purpose have been put on both
vessels. The Nero has at least 5000
tons of coal 3. The vessels were given
an enthusiastic send-of, all the steam
vessels on the water front blowing
their whistles, and the crowds on tho
docks cheering and waving adieus.

Shafter Has Landed a
Short Distance From
Santiago Bay.
MET WITH SLIGHT RESISTANCE
BaiGuiri. the Dcbarkirg Point. First
shelled by the Warships-Sew Or
leans, Detroit and the Smaller Ships
Did the Work.

Off Baiquiri, via Playa del Este,
Guantanamo Bay, June 24.--As 8
O'Clock, the hour supposed to have
been fixed for commencing the disem-
barkation came and passed, the expe-
dition was in suspense, but the ships
lay rocking complacently outside the
little bay.
About 9:l5 A. NJ. the BON bardment
of the hills surrounding the village Of
Juragua, some six miles off, suddenly
began to distract our attention from
out affairs. Then, steam pinnacles,
trailing strings of empty boats, began
speeding to and fro among the trans
ports, and gradually, though impercep.
tibly, filling with troops.
AT 9:45 Cuban scouts appeared west
of Baiquiri, and Immediately the New
Orleans, Machias, Detroit. Suwanee
and Wasp began bombarding. Forty
five rounds were fired into the bushes
during the first quarter Of an hour, and
many rounds from the guick-6re guns.
Not shot was fred in response.
At 9:45 the first boatload, contain
ing the men of the Eighth and First
infantry, started for the shore, fol-
lowed by the Twenty-ffth (colored),
Tenth and Twelfth infantry at 1910.
Prodigious cheering from the shore,
caught up by the nearest ships and fly
ing from vessel to vessel through the
squadron, announced the momentous
fact that the army had begun land
ing on Cuban soil, the honor of set
to detachment of the Eighth infan-
try, which was towed ashore by the
tug Wampatuck.
This important operation thus quick
ly completed without loss of life or at
tack, the troops on land formed and
moved up and away to quarters with
out confusion. A force of mounted
Cubans, which bad been under the fire
during the bonn bardment, now arrived
and congratulations were exchanged.
The inhabitants of the village. assured
that the worst was over, came out, col
ored women and children creeping into
sight from subterranean shelters.
A 1880, a detachment of the Second
Massachusetts volunteers started for
the shore and by noon probably 5000
men had landed. Other detachments
were following Us rapidly as the steam
launches could be made available.
The sea was calm and the sky clear.
A cool breeze was blowing. The troops
were in the highest spirits, and strains
Of yankee Doodle" were greeting
every string of boats coming in.
The press correspondent, going
ashore at l:lO p. NJ, found that the
Spanards had done little wanton mis-
chief A roundhouse, locomotive, a
few cars and railway offices had been
destroyed, but the bulk of the village
was left standing intact.
The firing on Jarugua still continues
as this dispatch is filed. but it is desul-
tory and is directed over the first line
of hills to clear the country beyond.
