Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
June 26.-Friday morning four troops
OF the First cavalry, four troops Of the
tenth cavalry and eight troops Of
Roosevelt's rough riders, less than
1000 men in all, dismounted and made
an attack on the Spanish soldiers in
the thickets within five miles of San
tiago de Cuba. The Americans beat
the enemy back into the city, but they
left thirteen dead on the field. At least
nifty Americans We're wounded, includ-
ing several officers. At least ten of
the wounded will die. Twelve dead
Spaniards were found in the bush af-s
ter the fight, but their loss was doubt
less far in excess of that. Gen.
Young commanded the expedition and
was with the regulars, while Col.
Wood directed the operations of the
rough riders several miles west. Both
parties struck the Spaniards about til D
same time and the fight lasted an hour.
The Spaniards opened fire from the
thick brush and had every advantage
OF numbers and position, but the
troops drove them back from the start,
stormed the block house around which
they made the final stand and sent
them scattering over the mountains.
The cayalrymen were afterward rein
forced by the Seventh, Twelfth and
Seventeenth infantry part of the Ninth
cavalry, the Second Massachusetts
and the Seventy-frst New York. The
Americans now hold the position at
the Threshold of Santiago de Cuba
with more troops going forward con-
stantly. and they are preparing for a
final assault on the city.
Washington, June &c. - Up to 2,
o'clock this morning neither the presi-
dent nor Secretary Alger had received
official news concerning the land en-
gagement near Santiago which oc-
Cured yesterday morning. At the Of
fee of Adit. Gen. Corbin official con-
tirmation Of the Associated Press dis
patches is expected at any moment.
The Associated Press conveyed to both
the president and Secretary Alger the
only information concerning the battle
which they have received as yet. When
the first bulletin relative to the en-
gagement was shown to Secretary
Alger at IL o'clock he showed the
deepest concern and requested that he
be given further particulars as soon
as they We're received. Shortly before
2 o'clock the story of the engagement
was read to Secretary Alger through
the telephone by q representative of
the Associated Press. AS the names
Of the killed and wounded were read
the secretary counted the number
aloud, apparently making a note Of
them as they reached him. While the
secretary expressed the deepest regret
for the loss of the officers and men he
was greatly gratified to learn that the
American forces had achieved what
appears to be so decisive victory and
had gained so excellent a position for
the heavy engagement which is conf
IDENTIFY expected to take place in day
or two.

Milwaukee, June %. - A special to
the Herold from Oshkosh, Wis, says:
Shortly before E o'clock the mob Of
striking woodworkers started for Nc
Millen's mill. 1t was about 1000
strong. and as usual composed largely
of women. A warning had been sent
ahead and the gates to the yard were
closed. Five hydrants were opened and
the hose turned on the crowd, but they
were not to be kept back. They broke
in the gates and took possession. Po-
lice and deputies were of no avail. All
of the worlzingmen> received severe
beating. Ed Casey, the big Irish engi-
neer, was struck in the face with q
stone. He rtaliated by. hitting the
thrower, James Morris, over the head
with wrech, inflicting injuries from
which he died. To save Casey then
from the vengeance of the mob was all
the police and deputies could accom-
plish. At II o'clock the troubles were
subsiding. The strikers are resting on
their arms. Paine's factory will next
be attacked. In the meantime rein
forcements on the side of law and Or
der are expected, the governor having
been telegraphed for troops.

trouble from the striking wood work
ers at Oshkosh, Adjt. Gen. Boardman,
of the Wisconsin national guard, hur-
ried into Milwaukee from Madison.
AS soon as he arrived word was re-

in progress and that one man had been
killed and several seriously injured.
Every fire alarm in the city was sound
ed, summoning the members of the
national guard to the armory. All the
companies in the city, Of which there
are four, together with the light bat
terry and the light horse squadron will
leave for Oshkosh at o'clock this
morning.

Time Since Mobilization Beam


Time Since Mobilization Began.
Chckamauga. Ga, June 26. - The
thermometer registered 80, degrees at
the Park yesterday. This is about as
high as the mercury has gone since the
summer set in, but it was not so no.
ticeable because of the continuous
presence of breeze that was highly
refreshing. The command has grown
rapidly during the last few days and
there are now more troops in camp at
the Park than any time since the mo-
bilization of the army began. Capt.
Rockwell, chief of the ordnance de-
partment, estimates the number at 81
700. His records show that he has
handed out for distribution in the COM
mand about $1,000 rifles. He still lacks
$1,000 rifles for the soldiers in camp.
The number of soldiers is being in
creased on an average of more than a
thousand a day by the arrival of re-
