to Sampson's purpose. It is one of the largest and finest harbors on the en- tire coast of Cuba. It consists of two land locked bays, one of which could easily accommodate a large number of ships. The inner ba~ is separated from the outer by a narrow tortuous channel navigable only with great care. On the inner bay is situated the town of Cai- manera, garrisoned by 5000 Spanish troops and protected by fort and sev- eral gun boats.
 The fort Is quite pretentious mili- tary structure, built on small tongue of land which puts across the channel between the outer and inner bay. It completely covers the entrance, and ships in entering must pass within fifty wards of it's guns. It is built of yellow stone. The extensive barracks adjoin- ing seem in good condition and present a much more formidable appearance than the castles which frown above the entrance to Santiago harbor. Knowing the value of Guantanamo Bay to the Americans, the Spaniards made as powerful and desperate a re- sistance as they could.

GOES ASHORE
 DURING 4 FOG Accident to the San
 Francisco. ESCAPES SERIOUS DAMAGE DRAWN OFF BY FOUR TUGS AT
 HIGH TIDE. Officers of the Cruiser Believe That It Will Not Be Necessary to
 Place Her in the
 Drydock.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass, June I3.-The flagship San Francisco, with Commodore Howell on board, while attempt ing to round Cape Cod in fog, went ashore near High Head life saving station at 7 o'clock this morning, but by the hard work of the crew, which threw overheard large quantity of coal and ballast, and the assist ance of four tugs from Boston, she came off at high tide at 6 o'clock tonight, apparently un- injured. The San Francisco struck head on, going at a speed of about eight knots. A hurried examination did not disclose any injuries to the cruiser, and it is probable that she will not have to be dry docked.

admiral on Wednesday communicated his decision to Commander Mccall of the Marblehead who, with the Yankee and St Louis, left Santiago at 4 o'clock on Thursday morning to carry out the plan.
 As I have indicated in previous dis patches, Admiral Sampson has been impatient over the delay in sending troops to aid in the capture of San tiago. It has been his desire to estab- lish base on the southern coast of Cuba and Captain Cervera's course in seeking a refuge In Santiago harbor seemed to him to make that the best point from which to direct American operations.
 It became evident to the admiral. however, that he would be left without a base indefinitely if he continued to wait for the arrival of troops and he re- solved to select some advanta geous point forthwith. The blockade of San tiago seemed likely to continue for some time, and the United States had no base of supplies nearer than Key West The fleet was much in need of safe harbor on the southern coast.
  fer provisions from the provision ships
 Coaling at sea, although skillfully ac- complished by Commodore Schley's ves- sells off Santiago, is very precarious in rough weather. This made 1t impera- tive to secure harbor where the col Hers, supply ships and torpedo ships could safely lie in all kinds of weather. and where troopships could lie when they should arrive. In view of this sit- uation the selection of Guantanamo Bay was most natural. Its advantages for American purposes are second only to Santiago, and no Spanish fleet with such a skilful commander as Admiral Cervera would have to be reckoned with after the land defenses were de- stroyed.
 Guantanamo Bay Is about forty miles from Santiago and is admirably suited

An authoritative statement to this effect was made at the War Depart ment to-day, setting at rest all reports that the expedition was on It's way, or had landed last week. The authorities made the announcement for the reason that the time for secrecy was passed as the scout boats had made sure that the path was clear before it and that no possible menace could come from the Spanish ships or troops, even should the enemy know that our forces were now advancing against them. With the expedition off officials here feel that there will be period of comparative inaction for few days.
 Bv Thursday at the latest the trans ports will be off Santiago and large American army will make it's landing on Cuban soil Admiral Sampson has cleared the way for this undertaking and little danger Is apprehended in getting ashore It will be after that. when the advance is made, that the actual developments may be expected. Ry that time it Is likely the American commanders will be in direct cable communication with the authorities here. Admiral Sampson has taken the shore end of the cable landing at Guan- tanamo and a force of cable experts are rapidly restoring the line to work ing order.
 The progress of this work has been so satisfactory that one of the leading officials of the State Department said to-day that it was hoped that direct cable communication would be estab- lished by Thursday. It will put an end to the dearth of official information concerning important movements and will enable the authorities here to keep in close touch with those executing the

how the men were faring. When he was fifteen feet from the hospital a Mauser bullet pierced his temple. He was carried to the shelter of the trench which marines had dug on first landing and laid there in sheltered spot. His case was hopeless from the first. Half an hour later Lieutenant Neville hur- ried into camp saying: Where is Sur geon Gibbs? One of my men is wounded"
 The hospital orderly saluted and said: Surgeon Gibbs died a moment ago, sir" Surgeon Gibbs mother lives in Richmond. He was volunteer of a few weeks standing and was extremely popular. He was absolutely fearless.
 First Lieutenant w. c. Neville and Second Lieutenant M. J. Shaw of Con- pany D were cut off from the main body for the night, while the post held by the marines was afame and an al- most continuous rattle showed the desperate engagements in advance and to the right. The lieutenants defended themselves successfully and fought their way slowly back toward camp. They abandoned Sergeant Charles H. Smiths body only when 1t became plain that many lives must be sacri- feed in bringing 1t away under the whitening fire.
 Once several guerrilla skirmishers passed almost through the marines camp on the edge of the crest and dis appeared to the northward. They were quickly lost in the peculiar darkness of the tropical brush. Sometimes the range was so short that our officers were using their revolvers, firing when they saw flashes.
 Admiral Sampson early last week re- solved to await no longer the coming of American troops before seeking to establish landing spot at some point not far east af Santiago. He decided to seize Guantanamo Bay, owing to its many advantages as a rendezvous for both navy and army. The American

was quite recovered from her cough.
She could take in pain sewing and
