ton, Jam, Monday, June 10, $40 a. M
The Spaniards last night attacked the
First battalion of marines under Lieut.. R.
w Huntington and were repulsed with
heavy loss.
Four Americans were killed:
Surgeon J. b. Gibos, New York city.
Sergeant Smith, Company D.
Private McCaliagan, Company D.
Private Dunrishy, Company D..
The wounded are:
Private McGowen, Company D. hand
shattered.
Pilot on the United States cruiser Mar
blehead, shot through the leg.
The firing began after midnight and
lasted until daybreaIl. AT times there was
a heavy fusilade on both sides.
Lieuts. Neville and Shaw, of Company
d, with thirty men were on picket duty
all night and were attacked by a heavy
force of Spaniards. All the men killed were
in the detachment except DR.. Gibbs, who
was shot while in camp. The plckets held
the Spaniards until released this morn
inG.
Reinforcements were landed from the
Marblehead this morning. They consisted
of sixty men and two rapld-fre guns.
The men are suffering greatly from heat
splendidly in and out of fire.
After McCallagan and Dunrishy were
killed their heads were shockingly mutila-
ted with machetes.
Late this morning the Spaniards opened
fire from two guns placed on the west side
of the harbor. The shots flew wild.
The Texas, Yankee and torpedo boat
Porter, which were lying In the harbor,
opened fire, and in a short time silenced
the Spanish guns. The latter fired only
once after the ships opened on them. There
were no casualties on the American side.
1t was decided by Col Huntington this
morning to abandon the position first oc-
cupied as a camp as there were no signs
of reinforcements of troops, and it was
known that a force of Spaniards, six times
more numerous than the marine battalion,
was in the vicinity. Therefore the crest
of the hill which the troops held last night
was given up to batteries and rifle pits.
and the tents were pitched on the side of
the hill near the harbor, which is protected
by the Warships.

Cuba Now Believed to BE Cut on
From Communication.
Copyright, 1893, by the Associated Press
Off Santiago de Cuba, June s, 2 p M.
via Kingston, jam, June 9, 1850 a. M
The Yankee and the ST. Louis cut the ca
BILE at Guantanamo sixty miles east of
Santiago de Cuba yesterday afternoon,
and Cuba is thus believed to be finally
shut off from communication with the
outer world.
The Marblehead fired at a small Span
ish gunboat and she returned the fire, the
old fashioned forts joined in the engage
ment, the gunboat returned into the har-
Dor and the forts were silenced by the
Marblehead. 1t is not believed that the
Spanish gunboat was struck, as the range
was too great
The Marblehead and the Yankee return
ed to the blockade at midnight.
The steam launches which now form a
picket line to guard against a torpedo boat
attack, reported yesterday that the Span
iards were apparently attempting to re-
pair the batteries damaged by the bonn
bardment of Monday. Admiral Sampson
thereupon said he believed that half, if
not more, of the enemys guns had been
dismounted.
On Sunday night, June 5, Ensign Pal
mer took the New York's launch on har-
Dor picket duty and another launch was
sent from the Oregon, as the launch ex-
pected from the Massachusetts, did not
come. Ensign Palmer and the crew re-
turned safely.
When Admiral Sampson heard of the
shooting, he said to Palmer: You We're or
dered to go no nearer shore than mile
"Those were my orders" replied Ensign
Palmer, "but, sir, I was also told to see
that no torpedo boats came out. With only
two boats I could not be sure that none
came out unless l went right under the
batteries"
The admiral replied: "You were perfectly
right Mr.. Palmer. That is the kind of
stuff every one of our officers are made
Of"
Since the firing by the Dolphin Monday
afternoon there have been no shots on
either side except the firing at the launch
and at Guantanamo.
The blockade continues uneventful. All
that is wanted is TO take possession of
Santiago, and the army will do that. No
troops have yet arrived.
The rainy season seems to have fairly set
In and the decks Of the warships are sell
dom dry.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-06-14

the war board is taking no unnecessary
chances OF a surprise, and by means of
scouts has provided for securing timely
warning of the approach of any hostile
vessels to the seat of war.
Ire news of the attack by the Spaniards
upon the United States marines at Guam
tandmo Bay Saturday night was not oh
nrmed by the official advices up TO the
close of the day here However, there is
no disposition to question the accuracy of
ire press report, and the news has had
rather SOLDERING effect upon the element
that has insisted upon rushing troops Tor
ward regardless of their unpreparedness.
saturday nights action shows that the
Spanish are not afraid to charge boldly
upon the United States troops and tie
prospe6 Is of a bushwhacking warfare dis
closed by the Spanish movements are any
thing but agreeable to the persons " no
nave been hoping for short campaign.
A good deal of surprise is expressed at
the failure of the report to mention any
substantial aid received from the insurg
ents by the United States marines
camped on Crest Hill. Reinforcements
were sent from our own ships,
but 1t does not appear in the reports that
the marines had hclp from the men best
calculated from their experience in jungle
fighting to be of service in an encounter
with Spanish guerillas. Without any dis
paTdSement TO the lighting ability of the
marines, who appear 10 have acquitted
themselves with the greatest credit so far
as concern their bravery and steadiness
under fire, the question has been raised in
the minds Of the military experts whether,
failing in any substantial assistance from
the Cubans who were reported to have
been SO numerous in the vicinity, western
soldiers trained In Indian fighting would
not be of more service in a Cuban jungle
campaign.
Nothing SO severely taxes The courage
and endurance of troops as to be shot at
from cover by an unseen foe, and only
troops trained in our latest skirmish drill
can render effective service in such at
lacks.
The navy department has concluded that
II has purchased as many small vessels for
the auxiliary fleet as it requires and an In
timation to that effect was conveyed 10
Admiral Erben In charge of that service
to-day.
