HAVE LANDED IN CUBA.

WASHINGTON, June GA message
was received at the War Department
tonight from General Shafter that
troOps had been successfully landed at
Baiouiri. Cuba, this morning.
BAIQUIRI (Cuba), June p (by "Ex-
aminer-JOurnal" dispatch boat to
Kingston, Jamaica).-T landing Of
the troops has begun. Three thousand
men, the vanguard of Skaters force,
have gone ashore at the old pier that
was built to expedite the shipping of
manganese ore from the mines to the
northward. While the troops were
passing ashore, Simpsons fleet bonn
baTded the forts both east and west of
Santiago .4arbor. A force of a thou
sand Cubans seemed to spring out of
the ground at just the proper moment
and attack the Spaniards near Bal
quiri.
The Spaniards had prepared to meet
the Decentralization to the west Of San
tiago and also to the eastward, but at
Baiquirf. the place chosen, there was
only a Spanish bIockhouse on a high
cliff to the right of the landing pier,
and a small fort and earthworks in
the rear.
The proceedings were begun by the
American fleet, which was strung out
for 90 miles along the coast, hurting
shells at nearly every fortress. The
Notifications at Aguadores, Cabanas
Siborney and Juragua, as we'll as the
blockhouse and fort near Baiquiri,
were all bOmbaTded.
The forts are in a bad way The
only loss reported on the American
side is a sailor on board Of the Texas.

said: It was estimated that this
amount of fuel would carry her TO Ho-
nOlulu if no rough weather was en-
countered. The Nero will take hold OF
the MOnadnOck at Honolulu after both
vessels have coaled and viii tow her
about 1000 miles in the direction Of
Manila. The Monadnock will then be
cast off and proceed the rest of the
way by herself, the Nero standing by
in case of a breakdown.
The MonadnOck is an historic yes
sci. She was built originally in 1864
and was through several engagements
during the civil war She was in the
battle of Fort Fisher and fired a tif-
teen-inch shell into the fort, doing
considerable damage. The monitor is
considered a lucky ship, never having
had a man killed on board She was
the first vessel to demonstrate that a
monitor could stand a long sea voyage.
She came from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast in 1867, passing through
the Straits Of Magellan. Arriving she

many years were consumed
in her construction, she is today in
some respects a more modern vessel
than the Monterey. She has Harvey
lied steel turrets, which the Monterey
has not. Her main battery consists of
four 10-inch guns. In this she shows
an apparent weakness cOntrasted with
the Monterey, which carries two 12-
inch guns and two 10-inch guns. The
admirers of the MOnadnock claim that
,he vessel is superior to the Monterey
for the reason that the ammunition
she carries is suitable for all her guns.
If one of the turrets of the Monterey
we're disabled the guns in the re-
turrett could not use the am

On the Monadnock the quarters of |

more room to berth the crew and |
more room for coal.

Free Silver the Issue.

Republicans are extremely anxious
to make themselves believe that the
cause of free silver is dead.
IS Constantly announcing the death of
Tree silver the republicans confess
that the sentiment which they fear SO
much will not stay dead. Democratic
state conventions reafirm the alleg-
lance OF the party to the Chicago
platform, and the people are more
firm than ever in their demand for
the reconciliation of silver.
In discussing the silly claims of re-
publicans that free silver is dead''
the Washington Post, strong advo-
cate of the gold standard, says.
THE simple truth is that the coin
age question is the only national issue
now in sight for the next presidential
campaign. The hope that the war of
'9s would develop some great issue
that would displace the currency
question and prevent another battle
OF the standards has vanished.n
This is the truth plainly stated by
an opponent, and the republicans
might as we'll admit it. They would
like to shift the issue, but it can't be
shifted. There are some democrats
in states like New York who mani
Test a desire to compromise with the
gold standard, bnt their efferts will
be in vain. The Boston Advertiser
says:
1.-The notion that nothing will be
said about free silver in the national
democratic platform of 1000 comes in
part from the idea that by ignoring
this topic the party can be reunited.
But it cannot. The number of demo-
cratic voters who would be repealed
by such means is very much larger
than the number who might possibly
be won back in that way"
Gold advocates who claim to be
democrats are hopelessIy in the
minority. They cast 1871, 1000 votes in
In 1896, while the great democratic
party cast 6,5OO,OOO votes for silver.
The democratic party is in favor of
free silver, and the campaign of 1900
will be fought on that issue. -Chicago

cause mules enough had not been
provided to haul the lumber from the
railroad station. While hostilities
lasted, it behooved us all to be very
patient and forbearing in our criti-
cisms. But when the War Depart.
ment had no longer to cope with
hostile armies, there was no reason
why a single man, whether at Mon

for another twenty four hours with
out suitable shelter, food, medicines,
surgical attendance, and nursing.

There is not the slightest danger that
any one will condemn too harshly
the seeming inefficiency that has
been responsible for the hideous
treatment to which our brave
soldiers have subjected. 1t is un-
necessary at this point to mention
any names. 1t is enough to join the

responsibility where it belongs.
The course persued by the leading
officers of the Santiago army, and es-
pecially by Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
in courageously subjecting them

testing against the War Departments
policy, was commendable in the
highest sense. The whole country
appreciated it.-Review of Reviews.
