The Landing at Baiauiri.

BAIQUIRI HARBOR, Cuba, June 22.-
At o'clock this afternoon, six thou
sand American soldiers are encsmped
10 the hills in and around Baiquirl and
10000 more are on board transports oil
shore, ready to land as soon as tie
available boats can carry them ashore.
Time and sea and weather were pro-
piliou5 for the army Ct invasion. Be-
tween nightfall and dawn masses OF
smoke were seen rising frorl the towr,
a sure sign that the Spaniards had
gone, leaving a ruin behind them. A
little before o'clock the bombardment
of the batteries of Jaragua was begun
by the fleet. This was evidently
fsint to cover the real point of attack.
Five minutes later the sea was alive
with small boats, headed by launches
spe. ding for Baiquiri dock. Each
boat contained sixteen men, everyone
in fighting trim and carrying
three days ration5, shelter tent, a
gun and two hundred cartridges.
The firing of the warships proved to
be needless precaution, as their shots
were not returned and no Spaniards
were visible. The boas rushed for
ward simultaneously from every quar-
ter, their occupants in good natured
rivaly endeayoring to be the first to
leap ashore. As the boats tossed about
in the surf breaking against the pier,
getting ashore was no easy matter, and
the soldiers had TO throw their rifles on
the dock before they could climb up
themselves and some hard tumbles re-
suited but nobody was hurt. At the
end of the pier the companies
and regiments were quickly lined up
end we're marched away. Cen
eral Lawton threw a strong detach-
ment, for the night, about six miles
west, on the road to Santiago, and an.
other detachment was posted to the
north of the town. The rest OF the
troops were quartered in the town,
while others still preferred the shelter
Of their tents in the adjoining fields.
The landing was accomplished without
loss Of life, the only casualty being the
wounding of an insurgent on the hills
by she'll from one of our warships. He
will lose his arm.
NEW YORK, June ga dispatch
dated at PLATA del Este, Cuba, to-day,
says that at o'clock this morning the
last of General Skaters army Of inva-
sion had landed at BaiQuiri.

rgrRsDAY EVENING. JUNE 23, 1898

ACCORDING TO the New York Her
aid that has developed into the most We
hement of ali the Northern iipgo news
papers, the United States should not
ONLY seize and hold all the thousand
different islands in the Philippines and
the fifteen million people they contain,
but must do so in defiance, not of Spain
only, but of the combined opposition Of
all the rest of the world. The people
of the United States, now that the res
toration of the Union has been estab'
Iished, compose great nation, but GER
tainly not powerful enough to warrant
the assumption that they can do what
they please, irrespective OF the oojec-
ton of all the other nations OF the
earth. Self confidence is an influential
factor in all of mems enterprises, but
too much of it often leads into irretrieI'
able disaster.

WAR NOTES.

General Shafter, commanding the
first army of Cuban invasion, sent dis
patch last night to Secretary Alger
stating that the landing of troops has
begun successfully at Baiquiri, and that
there was little, if any, resistance.
Baiquri is about fifteen miles southeast
of Santiago de CUBA. 1t contains iron
wbarves, which are particularly well
adapted to the landing of artillery. Adj
miral Sampson cabled to Secretary
Long that FIVE warshlps shelled the
vicinity of the landing place before the
troops left the transports.
The Texas also made demonstration
at Cabanas, east of BAiquiri to mislead
the Spaniards as to the real landing
place. The Texas engaged the west
battery for some hours, She had one
man killed. His name is not given in
the official dispatches. This is the only
American loss reported in the official
dispatches.
The Spanish naval and military au.
thories are hopeful that General
Linares, with the garrison and the vol
unteers, recently considerably reinforce
ed, may be able, backed by Admiral
Cervera, to repel the Americans.
General Shafter has been allowed
wide liberty OF action in deciding upon
plans for the attack on Santiago. 1t is
said to be the express wish OF General
Miles that the acting commander on
the scene be not hampered.
1t is reported in Washington that
thirty thousand American troops will
engage 10 the proposed invasion Of
Porto Rico.
The third military expedition for the
Philippines will leave San Francisco
next Monday. General Merritt will
accompany it.

To-day's Boat Races.

New LONDON, Conn, June % The
weather here is fair for the Yale-Har-
yard Cornell boat races scheduled for
to-day. A good light breeze is blowing
out of the northwest which may make
rough water at noon. 1t was impos-
sible, however, to disguise the fact that
the storm of yesterday, had dissipated
much of the enthusiasm over the race.
Tickets for the observation train that
yesterday were selling at premium,
could hardly be given away to-day.
Among the sporting fraternity it was
generally admitted that Cornell might
Oe considered as having the best of the
chances. The betting was, as rule,
light.
Tue crews started at 1887. Harvard
took water first, Yale second, Cornell
half stroke behind. Cornell finished
three and s-half lengths ahead Of Yale,
and Harvard was twelve lengths behind
Yale.

GERMANS AT MANILA.

The London Daily News publishes q
statement, said to come from q CORES
pendent having access to good informa
ton, that the occupation of Manila by
parts of the crews of foreign warships
is an accomplished fact, although it
may be three or four days before the
official news arrives by way Of Hong
Kong. The statement proceeds as fol-
lows:
lover mouth ago Admiral Dewey
prepared 10 lombard Manila. At that
juucture, however, new factor was
added to the situation. The German
consul, acting on precise instructions
which had just arrived by the Ger
man warship Irene, strongly opposed a
BON bardment. These instructions were
clear and categorical and emanated d.
rectly from Emperor Williams cabinet
at was then that Admiral Dewey
asked for reinforeements and supplied
Aguinaldo with arms. While Ger.
many gathered q naval force, the inten-
lion at Berlin was, if not to take posses.
sion of Manila, at least to cooperate 10
the landing, Admiral Dewey's force
not being sufficient to protect German
interests.
Captain. General Augusti had on his
part informed his government of the
situation and several interviews took
place at Madrid with the German am.
bassador, the result being that it was
decided that Captain-General August
should appeal to the foreign warships
at Manila, excluding the American, to
protect the lives and property of the in
habitants against the insurgents.
cit was an indirect way Of capitulat-
ing while sparing Spanish honor. There
is no doubt that Admiral Won Die
drichs has taken command OF the forces
landed, although he has not taken pos
session 10 behalf OF Germany. But will
he when the American re.inforcements
arrive be willing to allow his forces to
re-embark The whole question lies
there"

REPORTED LYNcHING.-News of a

dispute with neighbor named Allen,
and shot and killed him. Hewlett was
arrested and jailed at Hillsville. Mon
day morning about 2 o'clock mob en-
tered the jail aud took possession OF
Hewlett for the purpose of hanging
him. Hewlett, being powerful man.
resisted desperately, and finally the
leader OF the mob gave orders that he be
shot. The order was obeyed, and How
lett's body, after being riddled with bull.
lets, was left lying in the Jail yard. The
mob then dispersed. Hewlett shot AL,
len from tree, and it is said that pub
lie sentiment in Carroll justifes the

WASHINGTON, June IS.
The Senate committee on the judici-
airy to-day voted to report adversely
the nomination of Edward r. Meek to
be Judge of the northern district of
Texas. The committee divided upon
party lines, the straight republicans
supporting the nomination and the
opposition antsgonizing it. The vote
was preceded by an animated discus
sion in which it was contended on the
one hand that the nomination was
purely partisan and that it was made
without regard to fitness or legal resi-
dence; on the other that it was entirely
iustifed. The nomination of Mr..
EwaFt to be judge of the western dis
s-ict of North Carolina was not reached.

THERE is no telling when and where
the present war will end. All the
South American nations have now be-
come alarmed at the proposed ag-
grandizement of the United States, and
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY ofform-

encroachments upon their territories or
liberties. With Europe and South
America both against the United
