Flower Of the American Army Started From Kew

SEVENTEEN THOUSAND TROOPS,
PROTECTED BY SIXTEEN WARSHTPS
Skaters Splendid Army Will Be Landed For the Canure
OF Santiago Next Thursday

Washington, June 12.-Under COM
mand of Major General Shafter. the
first division of the United States
army will sail tonight from Key West
for Santiago de Cuba, to besiege and
capture that town. The army trans
ports, 80 in number. left Port Tampa
yesterday and are now at Key West.
| The conveying warships, believed to
number is or 10. will be ready for the
voyage by nightfall, and with this
/ powerful force there is no longer rea-
son for apprehension that the trans
ports can be attacked successfully by
any Spanish warships, even if such
| should have escaped the .vigilant
search of the naval commanders at
Key West and off Havana. 1t is be-
heVed here that the sally out of Ha-
Vana of the three Spanish gunbOatS
was intended to create the impression
that they were prepared to go out TO
attack the transports. If so the plan
miscarried, for the craft were detected
Immediately by Commodore WatsOn'S
cruisers and driven back pellmell into
Havana harbor under the protection of
the guns of the shore batteries.
Even if these boats had escaped
they could have done no damage, for
the size of the convoy furnished for
the troop ships is sufficient to warrant
the belief that they would have
been speedily destroyed had they had
the courage to make an attack upon
the fleet Of American ships. The
Spanish boats are not of formidable
character, not one of them being the
equal in power of the smallest Ameri-
can cruisers, or even of such gunboats

Every precaution has been taken by
the government to ensure the safety
of the troops en- route to Cuba. The
naval war board was in session today
making the final preparations for the
disposition of the guardships. The
transports Will be kept as closely to-
gether as safe navigation will permit
and the WarshipS will be disposed

cruisers at the first sign of an ap-

The stately battleship Indiana, it is |
expected, will lead the procession of

VOLUNTEERS ALL RIGHT.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington and
Major Cockrell gave high praise to the
/ nerve and steadineSS of officers and
men, especially the younger, as the
| engagement was a baptism of fire for a
| large majority. The men We're in
darkness and in a strange land, but
/ they stood to their posts with courage
and fortitude and there was no symp-
! toms of a panic.
! The marines, though much disguised,
were eager for more fighting, promis
/ ing to inf1ict heavy punishment. To-
! day the amplest precautions have
( been taken and as the Dauntless was
! leaving, reinforcements were landing
! from the Marblehead. A lively time
was expected.
Estimates vary as to the attacking
force, some say eco and the others run
as high as 1000. Colonel Campina the
Cuban guide. said the Spaniards were
mostly irregulars, but the reports Of
I the discharge of Mauser rifles would in
dictate that they were regulars, as most
of the guerilias cary Remington rifles.
The Cuban guerillas, as a rule, have
more dash and courage than the reg
ularS.
The new campaign uniforms prove
satisfactory and are almost invisible
at distance of 200 yards. The Lee
guns caused several accidents on the
drawing of cartridges. Corporal Glass
shattered his hand.
Despite the loss of the men, which is
keenly regretted, the marines rejoice
that they have been engaged in the
first fight on Cuban soil. They sailed
from New York the day war was de-
clared- Since then till they landed on
the shore of Guantanamo bay they
have been cooped up in the Panther,
and they had begun to fear that the
troops would beat them after all.
