In both army and navy circles the
information contained in the dispatches
Of General Shafter and Admiral Samp.
son was received with intense satisfac.
ton. The landing of so large q body
OF troops as General Shafter had under
his command was task Of immense
proportions. A prominent official OF
the war department said that the COM
plete debarkation Of the troops, ami
mails and supplies within q week OF
their arrival off the Cuban coast would
be task we'll accomplished.
Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch indi-
Gated that he was carrying out his in
structions thoroughly to clear way
for the landing of troops. The demon
stration which he made with the Texas
before Cabanas, which Is just east OF
Guantanamo, may easily have led the
Spaniards to suppose that genera,
landing was to be attempted in that
immediate vicinity. 1t was evident
from the text Of Admiral SIMPSONS
dispatch that considerable landing
had already been effected near Guam
tanamo, a. he noted that communica.
ton by telegraph had been rs-estab-
lished at that point and that the chan
mel had been cleared Of submarine
mines. In the opinion Of naval officers
the landing at Guantanamo was the
marines rather than Of land forces.

Our Troops Now
on Cuban Soil.
SAMPSON OPENED THE WAY
OfIlcial Notification Is Received
at Washington From Both
General Shafter and
Admiral Sampson.

The work OF landing an army on
Cuban soil was successfully begun
Wednesday.
Official dispatches received at Wash
ington Wednesday night by both Sec
rotary Alger aud Secretary Long indi-
Gated that the landing Of troops near
Santiago was progressing most favor
ably. ~
The first landing was effected at
Daiquiri, and met with comparatively
slight resistance. This was stated in
brief dispatch received by Secretary
Alger, as follows:
"PLAYA DEL ESTE, June 22.--Sec-
rotary OF War, Washington, ID. c.
OF Daiquiri, Cuba, June %. Landing
at Daiquiri this morning successful.
Very little IL any resistance.
SHAFTRR."
Secretary Alger expressed himself
as delighted at the ease with which
the landing of the troops was effected,
aud with the fact that no serious OBJ.
stacle was offered by the enemy. He
construed the text of General Skaters
message to mean that the enemy had
made merely nominal and ineffective
resistance by firing from the hills at
long range.
Shortly after Secretary Alger re-
ceived his dispatch, Secretary Long
received more extended cablegram
from Admiral Sampson. II, too, was
dated at Playa Del Este, at $3.50
o'clock Wednesday evening. 1t ws
as follows:
Landing OF the army is progress
ing favorably at Daiquiri. There Il
very little il any resistance. The Nav
Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp ant
Suwanee shelled the vicinity befor
landing. We made q demonstrate.
at Cabanas, to engage the attention OF
the enemy. The Texas engaged the
west battery for some hours. She had
one man killed. Ten submarine mines
have been recovered from the channel
Of Guantanamo. Communication by
telegraph has been established at
Guantanamo. SAMPSON"

HILLSIDE DITCH.
"The Meadows" a Pine Body Of Land In

''The Meadows" a Fine Body Of Land In
San Juan, to be Watered.
Jack Real, Of the La Plata valley, is en-
.deayoring to enlist the investment Of cap.
ital in the extension Of the Hillside ditch
in the building OF which himself and
others have already expended a good
many thousands Of dollars-tO the har-
rows Of The Meadows" and at that point
TO construct a reservoir covering about
$50 acres Of land, In which TO store water
for the irrigation OF the 1900 to 1900
acres OF rich, level land comprising that
beautiful basin, says the San Juan
Times.
The Hillside ditch for twelve miles is
now completed. and has supplied water
for irrigating mesa lands along the
La Plata valley for the past seven
years. Six miles OF the ditch were
built by community effort and Mr..
Real constructed six miles at his own
expense. The extension OF the ditch
dive and a half miles would bring IL TO
the ''narrows" above referred 10, where
there is the finest natural site for q big
storage reservoir to be found anywhere.
Several thousands Of acres OF fine farm
ing land would come under the five and
one half miles OF ditch extension, but the
big proposition and the prime object
would be the reclamation OF "The Mea-
dows." This is truly n Of the most
beautiful parks In the Rocky mountain
region. 1t lies level and is sheltered on
all sides by the hills, IN which great
veins Of coal are exposed, Offering abun-
dant fuel without price to the future
denizens OF the locality.
Inasmuch as the cost Of extending the
ditch the few miles necessary and the
building Of a reservoir would be but
small. and considering the character and
extent OF the country TO be reclaimed. IL
would seem that Mr.. Real should have no
difficulty In securing capital sufficient TO
enable him to commence work on his en-
terprise az an early day.
