(Flag message for Capt. Hgginson)
Headquarters of the Army,
On Board u. S. S. Yale, July "a 1885,
Gen Miles desires If possible, you send
in advance any naval vessel you can spare
to the Port Guanica, reported to be without
fortifications or torpedoes. If secured, hold
and report quickly to US, Cape San Juan.
1t is more important to land at Guanica
than at Cape San Juan. If we can land
there he has troops enough to take the
harbor of Ponce and let your fleet into that
port
by going by the south side. Can send Capt.
Whitney who was at Ponce in June, to
you if desired. Answer
(Signal from Massachusetts, July "a 1881
All right Guanica it Is. Shall L send
orders to transport at Cape San Juan to
join 1T Guanica?
ANSWER sent by Gen. Miles)
Better be sure we can land at Guanica,
then send for the transports. You can no.
tify all vessels accordingly. Do you want
Whitney?
Capt Whitney was sent to report to
Capt HIgginson on the Massachusetts,
with his maps and reports.
