All the officials here were very loath
to believe that the Spanish force
which fought the marines at Crest
Heights had been guilty of the horrible
mutiiation of the bodies of soldiers.
The first press reports by some of the
officers were supposed to be based upon
the horrible wounds inflicted under
certain conditions af range by the
steel-clad bullet of the Mauser rifles.
Admiral SIMPSONS report, however,
seems to remove all doubt on that
point, for his surgeons undoubtedly
would be able to distinguish at once

OUR FLAG FLOATS IN CUBA.
The Stars and Stripes Raised at
Guantanamo.
Spaniards Drawn From Entrenchments
by Gunboats and Six Hundred
Marines Landed With
out Opposition.

Washington, June 13.-Official ad-
Sampson that the United States flag
floats over Cuba. Six hundred marines
have pitched their tents about the
smoking ruins of the outer fortifica-
tions of Guantanamo, and the stars and
stripes for the first time float on =
Spanish flagstaff in Cuba.
To Captain Clark and the battleship
Oregon belong the honor of making the
first successful landing of the war. The
forty marines from the battleship went
ashore and occupied the left entrance
10 the bay until the Panther arrived
with 600 marines. These, under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel e. w.
Huntington, arrived at o'clock, and
within half an hour they had burned
the buildings of the Spanish camp and
had SET fire to the miserable little vii
lage which crouched on the beach un-
der the hilltop of Guantanamo.
The whole operation of silencing the
guns and landing the forces was as
easy as placing Sunday school picnic.
The Marblehead, backed by the Vixen
and Dolphin, opened on the earth
works. The shores to the right of the
entrance were lined with guns and
rifle pits, but the Spaniards stampeded
after firing few shots. The city of
Guantanamo lies four miles up the bay,
and little Spanish gunboat came down
to help the shore batteries; but she
stayed just long enough to turn around
Numerous shots were fred by the
Spaniards, but not one landed and NO
Americans were injured.
Guantanamo is about forty miles east
of Santiago de Cuba, and is a splendid
location for base of supplies for the
blockading fleet.

Il But Colonel Huntington's Plucky Marines
Keep Old Glory Flying.
Il Washington, June l5.--The American
i flag still floats over Cuban soil on the
encampment of the marine battalion
and our boys say they will keep it
there until the belated troops arrive,
If it takes until winter.
Thus far the marines have had the
best of the fighting, but the situation
is grave, and they are exhausted with
I repelling almost incessant attacks
They have little chance to rest or
sleep and the time of the arrival of the
relieving troops is uncertain.
We're it not for the guns of the fleet
the gallant little band would be ami
hilated by the Spanish troops in over
powering numbers from Santiago de
Cuba. As it is, they probably can hold
their position, but they cannot move
forward until reinforcements come.
The spot is lamentably exposed,
while surrounding it on all sides is
heavy brush. The least movement in
the camp is the signal for instant tar
get practice upon the part of the Span
ish sharp shooters, whose rifles carry
much farther than ours, though their
owners rarely hit any thing they aim
at.
1t is impossible to accurately esti.
mate the Spanish attacking force, but
1t is numerous enough. About two
! thirds of this force surrounds the camp
nightly with a deadly ring, and the
spatting of the Mausers make things
lively, for the Spaniards are daring
enough to crawl up and take a pop
shot at the marines from the bushes
about 30 yards from the camp.
At night the besiegers fight like In
dians and our old Apache fighters will
feel in their element. Every yard of
chapparal Is an ambuscade, and picket
duty is Tipping coins with death.
After the first attack on Saturday
night, Colonel Huntington, who Is in
charge of the marines, who are hold
Ing this position, decided that another
attempt would be made on Sunday
night, and he caused entrenchments to
be thrown up on aff'srt.es of soiiy .e.nr,p. :,
and in the trenches the main part of
the battalion last night waited for
the attack that the colonel was certain
would come. 1t arrived within short
time after dark and from that time un-
Til daybreak the firing was incessant,
and at times very heavy.
On the American side two men were
killed and four wounded, the dead be-
ing Sergeant Henry Goode and Private
. Touman. The Spaniards have lost
heavily
The fight was the FIRST of the war in
which the Cubans co-opcrated with tho
American forces, and their co-opera-.
tion was not glittering success. At
one time during the afternoon when
the marines were firing on small de-
tachment of Spaniards that made their
appearance a short distance from the
camp, the cubans began firing with
out orders and sent volley right
among the Americans. There were
several narrow escapes but no one was
inbred.
The men freely criticise the policy
which compels them to hold position
that could be re-taken, they say, with
half an hours shelling, but not the
faintest disposition is manifested to do
otherwise than fiphtsit at.

speaking of the conduct of the men

was ever served by more loyal, efficient
and gallant captains than those of the

Captain Frank Wildes, commanding
the Boston, volunteered to remain in
command of his vessel, although his
relief arrived before leaving Hong
kong. Assistant Surgeon kindleber-
ger of the Olympia, and Gunner Evans
of the Boston also volunteered to re-
main after orders detaching them had
arrived.
''The conduct of my personal staff was
excellent. Commander r. p. Lam
berton, chief of staff, was volunteer
for that position, and gave me most
efficient aid. Lieutenant Brumby, flag
lieutenant, and Ensign w. 2. Scott,
aide, performed their duties as signal
officers in highly creditable manner.
The Olympia being short of officers for
the battery, Ensign H. c. Caldwell,
flag secretary, volunteered for, and
was assigned to subdivision of the
5-inch battery.
