injured. A few men, It -is true, were slight
ly wounded, but that is frequently the
case when vessels indulge in target prac-
ticc. There are all sorts of theories among
the officials to account for this, but, in the
absence of facts. it is hard to form a reas-
enable hypothesis.
Superior gunnery, target practice; cool
ness; preparedness"-those are the factors
that won the day in such an astonishing
fashion. in the opinion of one of the bright
est Of our young naval Officers. An older

egist. thought that Dewey had taken the
Spaniards unawares in every respect. He
had run the batteries at night, undiscov-
cred. and at daybreak was pouring broad
side after broedside into the Spanish fleet
which was taken unawares. with nobody
at quarters, with most of the crew asleep
and generally In a state utterly unpre-
pared to resist an attack. One officer
thought that the Spaniards had even failed
TO keep banked fires, so that they had no
steam on. and could not move. lying help
less while Dewey's ships circled around
another.
Probably the true explanation will not
be forthcoming until mail advices are at
hand. but the Spanish naval prestige has
received blow from the battle of Manila
from which ii cannot recover in very many
years.
Why Dewey Cut the Cable.
and though he offers no explanation for
so doing 1t is believed that his purpose
was not only TO prevent the Spanish gov
ernor general from communicating with his
own government. hut also to prevent the
foreign consuls at Manila from interfering
with his plans by cabling protests TO their
governments. He made 1t impossible for
them 10 summon any war vessels to en-
force the protest they were expected to
make against the siege of Manila

ried to the White House BY
Secretary Long.

Washington, May 7.-Formal announce
ment of the brilliant achievement at Ma

to-day by Secretary of the Navy Long.

o'clock. entered the room where President

asm over the remarkable results Of the en-

4 DETAILED ACCOUNT
Of the Landing of General Skaters Army
Of Invasion on the South Coast Of Cuba.

and witnessed the inspiring sight of
the landing.
Gen. Shafter, on board the Sc
guranca, closely watched the land
ing of the troops.
Brig. Gen. Lawton, who had been
detailed to command the landing
party, led the way in a launch, ac-
companied by his staff and di-
rected the formation of the line of
operation.
A detachment of eighty regular
infantry soldiers was the first to
land, followed by Gen. Skaters old
regiment, the First Infantry. Then
came the Twenty infantry,
the Twenty-second infantry, the
Tenth infantry, the Seventh and
Twelfth infantry, the Second Mas
sachusetts regiment, and a detach-
ment of the Ninth cavalry.
The boats rushed forward stimuli
taneous from every quarter, in
good natured rivalry to be first,
and their occupants scrambled over
one another to leap ashore.
As the boats tossed about the
surf breaking against the pier, get
ting 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 resulted, but nobody was
hurt.
AT the end of the pier the compa-
MES and regiments quickly lined
up and were marched away.
General Lawton threw a strong
detachment for the night about six
miles west on the road to Santiago
and another detachment was posted
TO the north of the town, some Of
them being housed in the buildings
of the iron company.
Others of the troops were quar-
tered in deserted houses, while 9TH
ers still preferred the shelter of
their tents in adjoining fields.
The mornings fire, it was seen,
destroyed the round house, the re-
pair shops and several small dwell
ings.
Inc town was deserted when the
troops landed, but women and chill
dren soon appeared and from the
surrounding thickets and returned
to their homes.
The -bronzed soldiers, in
SLOUGH hats and service uniform,
quickly searched the buildings and
beat up the thickets after landing
in search of lurking foes, and
marched into the unknown country
beyond at nightfall, with long,
swinging stride and the alert bear
ing of the old frontier army men,
ready to fight the Spaniards Sioux
fashion or in the open air wher-
ever they could be found.
The cheers Of their comrades still
waiting on the transports and of
the blue jackets and of the strains
of yankee Doodle from the
bands on the troopships, saluted
them as they disappeared from view
over the hills of Baiquiri.
The landing was accomplished
without loss of life, the only casual
ty being the wounding of an insur-
gent on the hills by shell from one
of our warships. He will lose his
arm
The insurgent troops at Baiqulrl
are commanded by General Castillo
and are estimated to number a
thousand men.
