ON BOARD the Associated Press Dispatch boat Dauntless, off Guanta namo, Sunday, June I2 (via Mole St. Nicholas June I2).-Lieutenant Colonel R. W. Huntington's battalion of ma rines, which landed from the transport Panther ols Friday and encamped on the hill guarding the abandoned cable sta ton at the entrance to the outer har Dor of Guantanamo, has been engaged in heading off rush attack by Span ish guerillas and regulars since 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The fight ing was almost continuous for thir- teen hours, until o'clock in the morn ing, when re-enforcements were landed from the Marblehead. Four of our men were killed and one wounded. The ad vance pickets under Lieutenants Neville and Shaw are unaccounted for.
 Among the killed Is Assistant Sur geon John Blair Gibbs, son of Major Gibbs of the regular army, who fell in the Custer massacre His home was at Richmond, Va, but he has been prac- ticing in New York and entered the service since the war began. He was a very popular officer The others killed are Sergeant Charles Fl. Smith of Smallwood, Private William Dunphy Of Gloucester, Mass, and Private James McColgan of Stoneham, Mass. Cor poral Glass was accidentally wounded in the head.
 The Spanish loss is unknown, but it was probably considerable. The splashes of blood found at daylight at the positions the Spanish occupied in dicate fatalities, but their comrades car ried off the killed and wounded
 The engagement began with desultory firing at the pickets, thousand yards inland from the camp. Captain Spi- cer's company was doing guard duty and was driven in, finally rallying on the camp and repulsing the enemy by o'clock. The bodies of Privates Mo Colgan and Dunphy were found, both shot in the head The large cavities made by the bullets, which inside a range of 500 yards have rotary mo- ton, indicate that the victims were killed at close range.
 The bodies were stripped of shoes, hats and cartridge belts and horribly mutilated with machetes.
 | When they were brought in the whole battalion formed three sides of hol- low square About the camp on the hill top Below in the bay were the war ships at anchor Inland from the hill camp is a deep ravine, and beyond this are high hills. The adjacent country is

ADMIRAL CAMARA IS
 COMING TO HIS DOOM
Expected to Leave Cadiz With Span ish Reserve Squadron the Latter
 Part of This Week.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The Herald's s Washington. correspondent telegraphs:
 Official information received by the naval authorities is that the departure of the Spanish rese~--a squadron from Cadiz under command of Admiral Ca mara may be expected the latter part of this week. It's immediate destina- tion, it is believed, will be the Canaries, and after that Porto Rico and Cuba.
 Plans have been practically formulat- ed by the Naval War Board for meet ing and destroying Admiral Camara's s squadron, and for operating against the Canary Islands, and Spain just as soon as Admiral Cervera's squadron is destroyed. AS soon as Santiago de Cuba and the Spanish fleet there are taken a formidable squadron will be organized to cruise in search of Ca- mara's squadron, and if pecessary a demonstration will be made against Spain. This squadron will probably be commanded by Commodore Schley. Rear Admiral Sampson will direct op- erations in Cuban and Porto Rican waters.
 If it is finally determined to form such a squadron as indicated 1t is considered highly probable that Commodore Schley's immediate operations will be directed aoainst the Canary Islands, and as soon as they are in his posses sion they will be an advantageous base for operations against Spain.

San FRANCISCO, Juno l9.-Major
General Merritt has announced his
selection Of the troops which would
compose the third expedition to Ma.
nila.
General Merritt has selected regi.
ments aggregating $3.50 officers and
men, and the five transports which will
be prepared for the expedition can
easily accommodate, 4, ,250 men, so that
q few hundred mere soldiers may be-
sandwiched in at tho last moment IL
desired.
Regarding the date of sailing Gem
eral Merritt says that tho expedition
will sail, if possible. on June 25, but it
may possibly be delayed until July 1.
General King In Command.
It is doubtful If General Merritt will
accompany the troops, who will be-
commanded by Brigadier General
Charles King. The brigade on this
next expedition will comprise the two
Idaho battalions, who will sail on the
Morgan City; the Seventh California
on the 1ndiana, Thirteenth Minnesota
on the City of Para; one battalion Of
the Wyoming regiment on the Ohio:
two battalions of the North Dakota
regiment on the Valencia. In addition
the Valencia will carry as many re-.
cruits rs can be accommodated from
the various new squads who have lately
enlisted.
Merritt May Go With Thom.
General Merritt and his staff may
sail with this expedition. He has had
the matter under consideration for
some little time, an6 as he is very anx.
tous to depart he is maxim, every eff.
fort to arrange his affairs SO that he
can 60.
Major E. R. Thomas, chief signal
officer of the expeditionary forces will
sail with General Merritt, and is now
preparing to take his departure at an
hours notice. The signal corps is yet
lacking in its required quota Of expert
telegraph operators, who will perform
an important part in the conquest and
government Of the Philippines. Fit.
teen are coming from St. Paul, to be
followed by others from other Eastern
cities.
Major General Otis will arrange the
details of the fourth expedition and
will probably remain here until all the
troops are embarked. It is hoped he
will accomplish this on or before

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Oficial dis.
patches received by both Secretary
Alser and Secretary Lcng indicate
that the landing OF troops near San.
tiago is progressing NEST favorably.
The first landing was effected at Dali
lu.ri and met with comparatively
slight resistance. This was stated in a
dispatch received BY Secretary Alger,
as follows: g z.
Playa del Este, June 22.-Secretary of
War, Washington. Landing at Daiquiri
this morning successful. Very little, If
any, resistance. SHAFTRR.
Secretary Alger expressed himself as
delighted at the expedition with which
the landing Of the troops was being
effected and with the fact that no seri-
ous obstacle was being offered by tho
enemy. He construed tho text of Gen.
eral Skaters dispatch as meaning that
the enemy had made only nominal
and ineffective resistance by firing
from the hills at long range.

The landing of 80 largo q body of

OF the officer referred to that only
