SHAFTER's STORY
Of the Santiago Campaign Told Before
New York Audience

New York Dec. 10,-Gen- Shafter, IN
the course of a speech at q meeting Of
the New York Genealogical and BIO
crap licaI society. referred to the war
with spain as the war which has re-
suited 80 gI0rfousIy for the land forces
CT the United States at Santiago. sld-
ding that II was unnecessary to say
that the navy had also performed its
work in the most efficient manner II
the absolute destruction of the enemy
was what they were after
Gen Shafrer then went on to say that
the United States began the war with
an army, on paper, of $4,000. This army
was to attack the Spanish soldiers, who
for 100 years had been known as gallant
fighters and for the last I58 years no
ted for their Srubb0ruueSS IN defensive
campaigns
In the course Of his ensuing remarks
the speaker said that the officers Of the
fleet commended when Cervera's squad
ron was in the harbor Of Santiago that
the city could be taken and the Spanish
vessels destroyed IN IS hours, should d
force Of TO- 600 Infantry be sent to assist
He said that the army which marched
against the city was as perfect 4 force
as could be found in the world It
consisted practically Of the whole regu-
lar army Of the United States with three
regiments Of volunteers, for whom room
was found at the last minute On the
transports
Speaking Of the fight at FL Caney,
Gen Shafter said that an officer Of his
fthe speakers division c0utended that
fe could take the place by clock in
the morning without fail. and much
against his better judgment he (Shaf-
teri allowed him to make the attempt

GERS as the world had ever seen There
had been q great deal said about the
suffering among the American troops in
Cuba He would not expect his hearers
to believe him II he told them that
there was no suffering
The more effective the work Of an
army. the greater the amount Of SUf-
fariuE that was necessary But he
could say with certainty that there was
not one hour after they landed IN Cuba
that all the American soldiers did not
have bread meat. sugar and coffee On
one day only half ratI0us Of the two
