citzenry now doing service as a fighting
unit. Between the regulars and volunteers
the contrast is strong. although the rapid
approach of stirring events may show this
observation to be overdrawn.
The shops of Tampa tonight are so
crowded that the proprietors are driven to
distraction. Eating houses are without
supplies, and the dispensaries of cooling
drinks can sell everything in stock or that
can be obtained. Huge piles of pineappes,
peaches, watermelons and tropical fruits,
blockading the sidewalks this morning, are
gone. All that seems left is the stock of
small alligators, and if they were but edible
these, too, would have found their way into
the Unsuitable NAV of the army. The only
Tampa business man whom 1 have seen
reading a newspaper was undertaken.
His season may come by and by.
The One and-fifty-seventh Indi-
ana boys have found ore consolation in
their camp by the sea. Not a mosquito has
broken through the guard lines, although
up in the city these pests go about in bri-
gades. A netting hardly gives a measure of
comfort to the tormented sleeper, for the
south Florida mosquito looks upon the
thread netting as an antiquated fortifica-
ton. Out among the palms the buzzing in
baker slept without netting last night and
this morning reported he had not heard
single song from the enemy. Surgeon Bar
nett and others had like experiences to re-
late, and the medical department even went
so far as to tentatively opine thatathe mos
quitos possibly find something requgnant in
the salt palms.
One night in camp led the men to express
themselves as far more contented than at
Chickamauga. Stacks of the palm leaves
have been chopped off to make tent floors
and bedding, answering this purpose much
more satisfactorily than straw. The root
ridges which break up the evenness of the
ground succumb readily to the ak. In front
of headquarters is a clear space a dozen
feet long and two yards wide, clumps of
luxuriant foliage fencing it in. The camp
ground bears a striking resemblance to the
pictures published of Cuban insurgent en-
campments, and indeed the Cuban volun-
teers, who are nearby, say the troops will
find practically the same surroundings when
the territory to be invaded is reached.
Regular drills have been resumed and this
afternoon dress parade was held among
the palms. In literature pertaining to the
coming invasion of Cuba much has been
said about the use of hammocks by the SOL
diers, and more than once the thought has
recurred how can so many soldiers find
enough trees to which they may swing their
hammocks? And, again. how can they ex-
pect to find trees sufficiently close together
fer the hammock ropes? These questions
easily resolve themselves in the presence OF
the pines, where the forests dense in num-
ber of trees. admit myriads of little light
spaces through which even distant river
can be discerned. They are veritable forests
of telegraph poles, bare TO the cross arms.

on Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Dandy, via Kingston. Jamaica, June
Z, noon.-The American fleet this morning
engaged the Spanish batteries defending the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
and after a three hours bombardment ST.
fenced nearly all the forts, destroyed several
earthworks and rendered the Estrella and
Catalina batteries. the two principal fortif-
cations useless.
The fleet formed in double column, six
miles off MORO Castle, at o'clock, and
steamed slowly three thousand yards off
shore, the Brooklyn leading. followed by
the Marblehead, Texas and Massachusetts,
and turned westward. The second line, the
New York leading, with the New Orleans,
Yankee, Iowa and Oregon following, turned
eastward. The Vixen and Sewanee were far
out on the left flank watching the rifiemen
on shore. The Dolphin and Porter did SINH
lar duty on the right flank. This line headed
by the New York, attacked the new earth
works near Moro Castle The Brooklyn COL
umn took up station opposite the Estrela
and Catalina batteries and the new earth
works along the shore The Spanish batter
les remained silent. 1t is doubtful whether
the Spaniards were able to determine the
character of the movement, owing to the
dense fog and heavy rain, which were the
weather features this morning.
Suddenly the Iowa fired a. twelve-inch
shell, which struck the base of the Estrena
battery and tore up the works. Instantly
firing began from both Admiral SIMPSONS
and Commodore Schley's column and a tor
rent of shells from the ships fell
upon the Spanish works. The Span
iards replied promptly, but their
artillery work was of a very poor quality

rendering accurate aiming difficult. There

LONDON, June 8.-The Hong

says: "a proclamation issued by
Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief,
points to desire to set up a native
administration in the Philippines
under an American protectorate.
Aguinaldo, with an advisory coun-
Gil, would hold the dictatorship
until the conquest of the islands
and would then establish a repub-
lican assembly.
"Aguinaldo has issued orders that
the lives and property of Europe

combatants are to be protected and
that all excesses are to be avoided. a"

WASHINGTON Juns p
Shortly after Z o'clock this evening
information confrmatory of the
Associated Press dispatches con-
cerning the bombardment of the
Notifications of Santiago de Cuba
reached the Navy Department. It
came in the form of a cablegram
from Admiral Sampson, which
was made public in the following
bulletin:
Secretary of the Navy:-Bom-
barded forts at Santiago, 7:30 to
10 a. m. to-day June o.. Silenced
works quickly, without injury of
any kind, though within 1000
yards. SAMPSON"
While the officials of the Navy
Department declined to say def
nitely whether the bulletin con-,
tanned all the information given in
Admiral Sampson's cablegram,
there is reason to believe that it
did not. The officials refused to
discuss the subject or to vouch-
safe further information than was
posted on the bulletin board. Only
one additional point was elected
by questioning. That was that
the cablegram contained no infor-
nation about the landing of either
land forces or marines.
The information received from
Admiral Sampson was evidently
quite satisfactory to the naval au-
thorities. While they declined to
discuss either the reasons for, or
the probable consequences of the
bombardment, they were thor
oughly satisfied with the results
accomplished. It is pretty we'll un-
derstood that the bombardment
was for the purpose of paving the
way either for the landing of
troops or actually to cover the
landing of marines.
Dispatches received by the AS
sociated Press from Spanish sources
tonight indicate that a landing
was effected, either during or i'm
mediately after the bombardment.
This is regarded by naval authori-
ties as entirely reasonable. It is
deemed likely that Sampson landed
a sufficient force of marines to hold
the ground he had gained, and to
make preparations for the landing
of the regular forces upon their
arrival, if, indeed, some of them
are not already at hand.

The.boys of company M expected to
reach q foreign land when they left
Minnesota last May and all were con-
fident that they would participate in
some OF the fighting, but the destiny
of war denied them the expected op-
portunities. While their part was not
SO active as they had hoped, it was as
important and necessary as any, for
their presence in the. field showed
Spain and her sympathizers what great
military resources this country pos

other nations from paidd cipa ting ,sthus
shortening the duration,of actual war
fare.
The monotony Of camp life was a
strain on the men-old veterans tell as
that it is more wearing than an active
the sufferings our boys
endured appear greater because so
many OF them were unnecessary, caused
by negligence and Indifference of those
high in. command. But whatever Of
hardship our boys have endured, we
believe that very few Of them regret
the step they took last April. Disap-
pointed though they weresin not seeing

now look back to. some of the daysat

four months spent there will be, by
and by, among. the most pleasant their
memories hold.

reeolleetions which have fallen TO
