fund was expended in large part by
the army and navy, and the objects
for which it was used are fully shown
in the reports of the several secre-
taries. 1t was most timely appropria-
ton, enabling the government to
strengthen its defense and to make
preparations greatly needed in case of
war. This fund, being inadequate to
the conduct of the war the patriotism
of the congress provided the means in
the war revenue act of June 10, by au-
thorizing a per cent popular loan, not
to exceed $400 900, 600, and by levying adj
ditional imports and taxes. OF the au-
thorized loan, $500, G00,0 600 were offered
and promptly taken from the subscrip-
tons, so far exceeding the call as to
cover it many times over While, pref
erence being given to the smaller bids,
no single allotment exceeded $1,000.
This was a most encouraging and sig
nificant result, showing the vast re-
sources of the nation, and the deter
mination of the people to uphold their
country's honor.
1t is not within the province of this
message to narrate the history of the
extraordinary war that followed the
Spanish declaration of April q, but a
brief recital of it's more salient fea-
lures is appropriate. The first encoun-
ter of the war, in point of date, took
place April 81, when a detachment of
the blocKading squadron made a recon-
noissance in force at Matanzas, shelled
the harbor Notifications and demolished
several new works in construction.

probation the timely and useful work
of the American National Red Cross,
both in relief measures preparatory to
the campaigns, in sanitary assistance
at several of the camps of assemblage,
and later. under the able and experi-
enced leadership of the president of the
society, Miss Clara Barton, on the fields
of battle and in the hospitals at the
front in Cuba. Working in conjunction
with the government authorities and
under their sanction and approval and
with the enthusiastic cooperation of
many patriotic women and societies in
the various states, the Red Cross has
fully maintained its already high rep
utation for intense earnestness and
ability to exercise the noble purposes OF
its organization, thus justifying the
confidence and support which it has re-
ceived at the hands of the American
people. To the members and officers of
this society and all who aided them in
their philanthropic work, the sincere
and lasting gratitude of the soldiers
and the public is due and is freely ac-
corded.
In tracing these events we are con-
stantly reminded of our obligations to
the Divine Master for his watchful care
over us and his safe guidance, for
which the nation makes reverend ac-
acknowledgement and offers humble
prayer for the continuance of his favor.

SANTIAGO CAMPAIaN.
Brief Review of the Chief Events
Connected Herewith.

By June 16, additional forces were
landed and strongly intrenched. On
June % the advance of 4he invading
army, under Major General Shafter,
landed at Baiquiri, about fifteen miles
east of Santiago. This was accom-
plished under great difficulties, but
with marvellous dispatch. On June %
the movement against Santiago was
begun. On the oath the first serious
engagement took place, in which the
First and Tenth cavalry and the First
volunteer cavalry, General Youngs
brigade of General Wheeler's division,
participated, losing heavily. By night
fall, however, ground within five miles
of Santiago was won. The advantage
was steadily increased. On July a
severe battle took place. our forces

and Eel Caney and San Juan We're taken
after a desperate charge, and the in
vestment of the city was completed.
The navy co-operated by Smelling the
town and the coast forts.
On the day following this brilliant
achievement of our land forces, July 8.
occurred the decisive naval combat of
the, war. The Spanish fleet, attempting
to leave the harbOr, was met by the
American squadron, under command of

one man seriously wounded. Although
our ships were repeatedly struck, not
one was seriously injured. Where all

selves from the commanders to the
gunners and the unnamed heroes in the

toward the achievement of this
astounding victory, for which neither
ancient nor modern history affords a
parallel in the completeness of the
event and the marvellous disproportion
of casualties, it would be invidious to
single out any for special honor. De-

NAVAL OPERATIONS.

sons Daring Feat.

Following the adoption of a compre
henSive scheme of general attack pow
erful forces were assembled at various
points on our coast to invade Cuba and
Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, naval DEM
onstrations were made at several
exposed points. On May II the cruiser
Wilmington and torpedo-b Winslow
were unsuccessful in an attempt to
silence the batteries at Cardenas,
against Matanzas, Worth, Bagley and
four seamen falling. These grievous
fatalities were strangely enough among
the very few which occurred during
our naval operations in this extraordi-
nary conflict.
Meanwhile the Spanish naval prepar-
atoms had been pushed with great Wig
or. a powerful squadron, under Adj
miral Cervera, which had assembled at
the Cape de Verde islands before the
outbreak of hostilities, had crossed the
ocean, and, by its erratic movements
in the Caribbean sea, delayed our milf
taray operations, while battling the
pursuit of our fleets. For a time fears
were felt lest the Oregon and Marietta,
then nearing home, after their long
voyage from San Francisco of over r.
COO miles, might be surprised by Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet, but their for
tunate arrival dispelled the apprehen-
sions and lent much needed reinforce
ments. Not until Admiral. Cervera took
refuge in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba, about May g. was it practicable
to plan systematic military attack
upon Antillean possessions of SPAIN
Several demonstrations occurred on
the coast of Cuba and Puerto Rico in
preparation for the larger event. On
May 10 the North Atlantic squadron

mouth Of Santiago harbor. Neither at

evident that well-ordered land opera
tons were Indispensable to achieve a
decided advantage.

On the 7th day Of May the govern

of the commander of our fleet what
troops were required. The information
was received on the 18th day of May,
and the first army expedition sailed on

but the world, by its exceptional hero
ism. On the night of June Lieuten-
ant Hobson, aided by seven devoted
volunteers, blocked the narrow outlet
from Santiago har5or by sinking the
collier Merrimac in the channel under
a fierce fire from the shore batteries,
escaping with their lives as by a mira
Gle, but falling into the hands of the
Spaniards. 1t is a most gratifying in
cident of the war that the bravery of
this little band of heroes was cordially
appreciated by the Spaniards, who sent
flag of truce to notify Admiral Samp-
son of their safety, and to compliment
them upon their daring act. They were
subsequently exchanged, July Z.
By June the cutting of the last Gu
ban cable isolated the island. There
after the invasion was vigorously pros
ecuted. On June 10, under a heavy
protecting fire, a landing force of 500
marines from the Oregon, Marblehead
and Yankee, was effected on Guantan-
amo bay where it had been determined
to establish naval station. This i'm

from the enemy after severe fighting by

CASUALTIES WERE LIGHT.
And We Lost Not Gun Nor Vessel
During the War.

The total casualties in killed and
wounded in the army during the war
was as follows: officers killed, %; en-
listed men killed, ISL; total, $50; officers
wounded, 113; enlisted men wounded,
1854; total, 1877; of the navy, killed,
II; wounded 81; died as a result of
wounds, l; invalided from service. 6;
total, 81.
1t will be observed that while our
navy was engaged in two great bat
ties and numerous perilous undertake
ings in the blockades and lombard
ments, and more than $4,000 of our
troops were transported to distant
lands. and engaged in assault and
siege and battle and many skirmishes
in unfamiliar territory, we lost in both
arms of the service a total of 1868
killed and wounded, and in the entire
campaign by land and sea we did not
lose a gun or flag or a transport or a
ship and with the exception of the
crew of the Merrimac, not soldier or
sailor was taken prisoner.
On Aug. T. forty-six days from the
date Of landing of General Skaters
army in Cuba and twenty-one days
from the surrender of Santiago, the
United States troops commenced en-
barkation for home, and our entire
force was returned to the United States
as early as Aug. q. They were alb
sent from the United States only two
months.

mony to the patriotism and devotion

duty, and, like their comrades, at the
front, have earned the gratitude of the

remained in their departments and sta
lions of the navy, performing most i'm
portant duties connected with the war,
and whose requests for assignment in
the field and at sea it was compelled to
refuse because their services were in

With the fall of Santiago the occupa-
I ton of Puerto Rico became the next
strategic necessity. General Miles had
previously been assigned to organize an
expedition for that purpose. Fortu-
nately he was already at Santiago
where he had arrived on the 18th day of
July with reinforcements for General

With these troops, consisting of 3,415

On July q he entered Ponce, one of
the most important ports in the island,
from which he thereafter directed ope-
rations for the capture of the island.
With the exception of encounters with
the enemy at Guayama, HermSguerez,
Coamo and Yauco, and an attack on
a force landed at Cape San Juan, there
was no serious resistance. The cam
paign was prosecuted with great vigor,
and by the 18th of August much of the
island was in our possession and the
acquisition of the remainder was only
a matter of a short time. At most of
the points in the island our troops were
enthusiastically welcomed. Protesta-
lions of loyalty to the flag and graft
tude for delivery from Spanish rule met
our commanders at every stage. AS a
potent influence toward peace the out
come of the Puerto Rican expedition
was of great consequence, and generous
commendation is due to those who par
ticipated in it The last scene of war
was enacted at Manila, its starting
place. On Aug. 15 after brief assault

casualties were comparatively few. BY
this conquest of the Philippine islands,

General Merritt, his officers and men,
for the accomplishing and devoted ser
vices, for their gallantry in action the
nation is sincerely grateful. Their long
voyage was made with singular sue

men, of whom many were without pre-

The next engagement was destined to
mark a memorable epoch in maritime
warfare. The Pacific fleet, under Com
modore George Dewey. had lain for
some weeks at Hongkong. Upon the
colonial proclamation of neutrality be-
ing issued, and the customary twenty
four hours notice being given, it re-
paired to Mrs bay, near Hongkong.
whence it proceeded to the Philippine
islands, under Geographic orders to
capture or destroy the formidable
Spanish fleet then assembled at Manila.
At daybreak on the 1st of May, the
American force entered Manila bay
and, after a few hours engagement,
effected the total destruction of the
Spanish fleet consisting of ten war
ships and transport, besides captur-
ing the naval station and forts at Ca
vite. thus annihilating the Spanish ma
val power in the Pacific ocean, and
completely controlling the bay of Ma
Mia, with the ability to take the city
at will. Not a life was lost on our
ships, the wounded only numbering
seven, while not d vessel was material
