Honolulu sent TO the Hawaiian gov
ernment a protest against the aid fur
nished the United States, to which the
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs
sent the following reply:
.Sir:-In reply to your note Of the
LIST instant l have the honor to say
that, owing to the intimate relations
now existing between this country and
the United States. this government has
not proclaimed a proclamation Of neu-
trality. having reference to the pres
ent conflict between the United States
and Spain; but on the contrary has
rendered to the United States privi-
leges and assistance, for which reason
your protest can receive no further
consideration than to acknowledge its
receipt. | have the honor to be, sir,

stock is safe and if the track to the
east is not destroyed the transporta-
ton problem is solved.
The haste of the Spanish in evacua-
tion is shown by the fact that break
fast was on the table and the bacon
actually frying. Our soldiers profited
by this.
The Spanish tried to destroy the
flour supply by cutting open the bags,
but much of this was saved by our
troops, who are on very short rations,
as they carried only about three days
supply from Baiquiri. Indeed, the
Second Massachusetts infantry took
nothing. The heat led many soldiers
to discard their rations as well as
their clothing. The heat of the jungle
fenced road was awful, and especially
to heavily accoutered men, and the
path was lined with packets. Their
shirts were discarded by hundreds, as
well as blankets and haversacks. Sew
eral men were exhausted and removed
to the rear, not from sickness, but
from heat.

from the shore, and if this was not
sufficient, to charge the landing par
ties with machetes. All this, however,
was to be done without loss to the

The latter instructions were obeyed
most implicitly, since the Spanish
burned Baiquiri and retreated on the

Judging the American methods by
their own, they seemed wholly unpre-
pared for General Lawton's advance
on Juragua by way of Damajava
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 Damajava, 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 head
long.
The Spanish hastily tried to derail
or disable locomotive and engine
with steam up on the track, by dis
connecting the coupling rods, the
throttle lever and several essential
parts, burying some and throwing otl.-
ers 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 yell. The
soldiers, hunting about for the missing
parts, found some and improvised
others.
one engineer, acting as fireman and
the other at the throttle, in twenty
minutes ran her into Juragua with the

with enthusiasm over Yankee ingenu-
ity. The engineer remarked: IF the
