Gen. Shafter left his headquarters on
board the Seguranca at 8 O'Clock. accom-
panied by Lieuts. Miley and Mcclellan
and a largo staff. Reaching the shore he
mounted a large bay horse. The imposing
figure of the bulky General on the back of
the fne animal attracted thousands of SOL
diers and Cubans to the beach TO get a close
view of him. Gen. Shafter rode at once to
Gen. Garcia's headquarters to have a con-
ference with the Cuban leader. after which
he started to Join Gen. Wheeler.
Gen. Garcia was impatient to march at

Idea, but Gen. Shafter put An end to the
matter by saying " No; let them get into

we have got them"
