General Kent, with seven transports,
will remain west of Santiago as a
feint until the remainder of the troops
are landed here. General Garcia ar
rived in Camp before dark and 1,50O of
his Cubans are expected to effect a
! Juncture with General Skaters men
today.
AS soon as the various commands
were landed yesterday they were
pushed out in the direction of Santiago.
AT dark they bivouaced and were
strung out in a column three miles
long, the front resting at Demajaya
and the rear of the column within a
mile of the base at Baiquiri, in the
following order:
Colonel Wagner, with reconnoizance
party at Demajaya- a mile from
General Lawton's headquarters. The
TWenty-second and Twenty-fourth
infantry, resting at small creek; the
Second Massachusetts, the Twelfth
infantry, First battalion, two compan-
les OF the Tenth infantry and the Sec
ond battalion of the Fourth infantry.
General Bates men. who are on re-
serve. and General Lawton's, Woods
rough riders" dismounted, and frag-
ments of several regiments bivouacked
at Baiquiri last night. The landing
proceeded until dawn. The men slept
on bare ground, some under the tent
flies and some under the starlit can
opy. In the morning they washed and
were in good spirits. The only dis
agreeable feature was the mosquitoes
and land insects. All the men are anx-
lous to get at the foe, and the regi-
ments are to be pushed on to support
General Lawton as fast as they are
landed. The aggressive attitude of
the army on land has been exceedingly
gratifying

Off Juragua, Thursday, June % (by
Associated Press Dispatch Boat; Filed
Kingston, Jamaica, Friday, June "A,
IL p. m.)-Juragua, though less than
five miles by coast from Baiquiri, the
original landing place of General Shat
ters troops. is L miles distant by road,
the worst road imaginable. The town,
or village, lies in the throat of q ravine
opening between the coast range of
hills and the ocean. 1t has a good
railway station, where 300 cars of ore
are tracked and a large cOmmiSSaly
supply of flour. The village itself is
incOnSiderable, consisting of a few
houses near a picturesque palm grove.
The Americans have captured orders
which show that the Spanish planned,
in the event of American troops at
tempting to land there, TO repulse them
from the shore. and, if this was not
sufficient, to charge the landing parties
with machetes. All this, however, was
to be done the order stated strictly,
without loss TO the Spanish" In case
loss was inevitable, retreat was or
dered westward.
The latter instructions were Obeyed
most implicitly, since the Spanish
burned BaiQulrl and retreated on the
approach of the American troops, with
out firing a shot. Apparently, judging
the American methods by their own,
they seemed wholly unprepared for
General LawtOn's advance on Juragua
by way of DemajayahO.
General LawtOn, on the other hand,
acted as though he were after hostile
Apaches on the war path. Daylight
saw the first move of the Americans
from DemajayahO, the Twenty second
infantry passing the Eighth infantry
on the extreme outpost, while the lat
ter breakfasted, the Cubans scouting
ahead, beating up the Spanish like
partridges and driving them headlong.
The Spanish hastily tried to disable a
locomotive and engine with steam up
on the track by diScOnnecting the COUP
ling rods, the throttle lever and several
essential parts, burying some and
throwing others into the sea.
Two engineers happened to be with the
advance squadron of the TWenty-second
infantry. and the troops went for the
locomotive with a yen. The soldiers
hunting about for the missing parts,
found some and imDrovised others

other at the throttle. in 70 minutes. ran

Cubans, armed with rifles landed by
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty'S
two expeditions. Further west, one of
the outposts, who had had nothing to
eat since O'Clock in the morning,
supped with them on raw cOcOanuts.
The Cuoans are cheerful and apparent
ly well satisfied.
These OutpOsts are composed of from
SIX TO % men each. Furnished with an
escort for a reconnaissance party to the
next post, Colonel Wagner proceeded To
DemaJaya, which is marked on the mil
ltary information map as a town, but
is really only the ruins of a big ha-
clenda, overSrown with oleanders and
other bright tropical Towering plants
and sheltering the almost naked, sun
burned OutpOStS. They cheerfully
shared their cOcOanutS with the Amer
leans. This point is four and a half
miles from Baiquiri, on the main San
tiago road. The character of this main
road is a revelation to the American
officers, despite the reports of it's uni
form badness. 1t is overgrown on both
sides, is an impenetrable jungle of
tropical foliage.
Colonel Wagner mapped the road to
Demajaya- Returning. he found the
Second Massachusetts, the Twelfth in
fantry, the Tenth cavalry and the
TWenty-fifth infantry camped along the
narrow road in a continuous column
from the landing place.
While Colonel Wagner was at Dema,- =
java, Cuban runners brought the news
of a skirmish of their forces with the
Spanish rear guard, who burned Bal
Quiri before retreating, at 6 o'clock yes
terday morning. The Cubans' advance,
which reached Baiquiri at am, re-
ported the Spaniards bringing them 10
bay at Juragua City, six miles west Of
BaiqUiri. A few YOlleyS were eN-
changed, but as the SDaniards had en-
'trenchments the Cubans marked them
down and left guard 10 watch them,
returning with the news to the Amer
lean outpost.
Colonel Wagner's reconnaissance con-
tinued this morning. General LawtOn
expects a brush with the Spaniards
near Juragua soon after sunrise. 1t is
estimated that it is only 10 miles by
road from this point to Santiago.
At this rate of movement the Ameri-
cans should be within striking distance
in a few days. The subsequent work
in the capture of the town viii depend
on the strength of its defenses and
the resistance. The defenseS are re-
ported strong. Officers in authority
here, however, profess to expect short
work. They say the town is valueless
as a base and unworthy of the eXertiOn
of capture, except for the fleet now
there. They say they hope that the
town, if captured can be made prac-
tically impregnable for holding by a
very small American force, and that
the remainder of the fleet and the
Will Immediately be dispatched

There is a strong feeling here that
Porto Rico is the next objective point,
and the regulars are anxious to be in
at the death. Seven Cubans have been
found horribly mutilated

Of truce was taken in by Assistant
Chief of Staff Stanton to ascertain the
whereabouts of the Merrimac prisoners,
Lieutenant Hobson and his daring
companions.
The Colon, a Spanish tug, with Cap

the Caravala Santa Juna, on board,
came out to meet him. Captain Con-
cas- stated that Lieutenant Hobson and
his men were confined in Santiago
town. They were all well. and he Gap
tain Concas) said he felt sorry they
could not be given their liberty, but
the authorities thought it unadvisabie.
Assistant Chief of Staff Stanton then
returned to the ship. His mission was
caused by the refusal of Spain to ex-
change the prisoners. Had they still
been in FL Moro, Admiral Sampson
was to notify the Spaniards that Spain
would be held responsible should any
harm befall them. This ultimatum was
rendered unnecessary.

Admiral Camara's fleet had flags

The admiralty authorities here believe
that the fleet is incomplete. The bat

there were no transports, and il is
therefore supposed that the squadron
