into Santiago De Cuba harbor has
made that place and vicinity the
focal point of American attack.
1t is at the east end of Cuba, on
! the south side. 1t was thought
Havana would become the focal
point of attack, but the Spanish
feet having gone where it did, is
ianother illustration of the old say
5 ing that it is the unexpected that
turns UP, and that circumsta ces
alter cases Havana is 600 miles
away, at the other end of the is
/ land and on the north side. Ha
/ yana's time viii come after San
tiago De Cuba has been captured.
A large detachment Of American
troops landed about % ,ailes east
of the entrance to Santiago harbor.
/ but across the country it is only
] Ii miles to Santiago De Cuba city,
a city of about 45, 600 people. A
portion of the American feet bonn
barded the shore and cleared the
way for the landing of the American
I troops. Guantonamo, is the name of
the bay where the Americans are to
land. \ town there is named
I Caimanera. The Spaniards are
reported to have ordered that the
/ town be burnt before allowing it to
/ fall into the hands of the Ameri-
cans. The difficulty of the Amer
leans in finding place to land
shows how weak the so call insur-
gent element is. They made num-
ber of American public men believe
that they had great fighting force
on the island, and all that was re
quired was for the United States
to declare for the insurgents and
they would scare the Spariards
eff. # ever a public man had the
I wool pulled over his eyes it was
Mckinley. and if ever the Ameri-
can people had the wcOl pulled
over their eyes, the Cuban rebels
did it. The rebels so far in Cuba
.; have been of no account.
