ing in advance Of his command, Cen
eral Young sent another aid, Captain
Smedburg, to tho rear to bring up his
full force and the Hotchkiss gun. The
hour set for tho movement was a. m.
on the cath.
General Castillo had indicated trail
from Siboney, leading over hill south
of the main road between Siboney and
Santiago, and forming junction with
1t at Las Guasimas. The ridge crossed
by tho trail is very high. General
Young decided to send the rough riders
over the trail and with the regulars and
Hotchkiss battery move along tho main
road. The plan was to make stimuli
taneous attack with two columns 1t
was explained to General Wheeler. Las
Gnasimas was n pass where the Span
iards expected to check the American
advance. 1t is down grade from there
to Santiago.
Castillo was to support Young with
500 Cubans, and the general asked him
to start at q. m, and il he couldn't 20
along himself send staff officer who
would be able to translate and convey
commands. Tho Cubans not being up
on time, at $50 q. IN. Colonel Rivers
went to Castillo's camp to say that the
column was ready to march to battle.
The Cuban sentincls would not allow
Colonel Rivers to awaken Castillo, so
he came back without the Cubans, reach
ing Young at 5:45. Young then moved
out, sending his aids; Rivers and Smed-
burg, with Colonel Wood, commander
OF tho rough riders. The aids were to
report to their chief the conduct of that
column and give any assistance needed
as representatives Of the commander.
Captain Mills, adjutant general Of the
brigade, went forward with the regu-
lars. The Cubans had outposts beyond
the point where the order of battle was
made. There were small parties Of Gu
bans at different points along the road.
Captain Mil. preached the advance
Cuban outposts and sent for General
Young to come up, indicating how he
could keep hidden from the Spaniards
while doing SO. From that point the
general could see tho Spanish position
at Las Guasimas. There were Spaniards
massed north of tho road upon which
the regulars were advancing, protected
by some stone parapets. After survey.
ing the situation with his glass General
Young explained to the commanders of
his squadrons what they were to do and
gave them orders to advance on Las
Guasimas in battle order.
