LANDING OF SKATERS ARMY
The First Battle with the SpaniGrds, Which
Resulted In Victory For the Rough
Riders and Regulars.

After the first fierce attack on the
marines at Guantanamo their position
was so strongly intrenched that Gen.
Shafter decided to use this point for
the landing of his army and supplies.
The Decentralization of the troops, which
arrived from Tampa on transports. &C
companied by a strong convoy Of war
ships, began on Wednesday, June g.
The cooperation Of the United States
army and navy and their Cuban allies
was thorough. So well laid were the
plans of Cen. Shafter, Admiral Samp-
son and Gen. Calixto Garcia, and so ex-
actly were they carried out even to the
minutest detail, that every possible
move on the part of the Spanish forces
was forestalled.
The resistance to the landing was Of
the feeblest nature, the Spanish garri-
sons contenting themselves with a half
hearted reply as they retreated before
the combined fire of our land and sea
forces.
At the close the 5000 United States
soldiers were encamped upon the hills
about Baiquiri. To deceive the enemy
the coaling ships were sent to the west
Of the entrance to Santiago Bay in or
der to give the impression that they
were transports and that the troops
were to be put ashore. there.
The decOy squadron took up its po-
sition at daylight, and as soon as the
Spaniards observed it they concentrat-
ed heavy fire upon the Golfers, but
without effecting any damage to them
or their crews. The Golfers were far
out Meanwhile the troopships moved
eastward out of sight of land, lining up
finally of Bacanao, the inlet just west
Of Playa del Este, where the cable sta
ton had been established.
The weather and condition Of the sea
were just what was required for such
an undertaking. The landing was to
be made under Brig. Gen. Lawton, while
Gen. Shafter, on board the headquarters
ship Seguranca, supervised the opera
lions.
On Thursday 10000 more troops on
the transports were landed. making a
total of $4,000 soldiers. After nights
The Globe-republican., 1898-08-18

rest Gen. Shafter, in pursuance of his
aggressive policy, ordered an advance.
and on Friday night the advance on
Santiago began. Roosevelt's Rough
Riders, who were among the first to
land, urged that they be sent to the
front at once, so they were ordered to
march over the foothills, supported by
the First and Tenth Regular Cavalry,
and the Second Massachusetts, volun-
teers.
The night before Guasimas General
Young sent for Colonel Wood. of the
Rough Riders, and in substance said to
him:
Colonel, I have reliable information
that the Spaniards have taken a very
strong position beyond Sevilla, near the
function of the trail over the mountain
at Siboney and the valley road. and ex-
pect to inflict defeat on US there II we
advance. think the brigade can fight
the first battle of the war tomorrow
morning and drive the enemy back on
Santiago"
General Young got his information
about the position of the Spaniards
from General Demetri Castillo's scouts,
and it proved to be correct. Colonel
Woods regiment climbed the hill at ST.
honey soon after sunrise and the Tenth
took the valley road, starting later.
Behind the Rough Riders at some dis
lance marched the First. The country
in which the troops were to operate can
best be described as a chaos OF high
hills and mountain peaks. So prodi-
gally are they massed about that 1t
should not be difficult for resourcefui
and determined enemy to annihilate an
invading army. Colonel Woods men
marched with heavy packs at the regu-
lation step and suffered terribly from
the heat. Many of them threw away
their blankets or coats on the way ana

treme left anticipated the Spanish fir
ing by few seconds, but on this point
there seems to be some doubt. Refer
ence has already been made to the as
sertion that a Hotchkiss gun handled
by the First regiment Of cavalry fired
the first shot. Troop L of the Rough
Riders replied to the Spanish fire with
great spirit and precision. The trail
and woods on both sides of it are still
Uttered with empty cartridges fired ty
them. On the left side of the trail the
bushes were thick, and the men could
not see the Spaniards who were firing
on them from the slope. On the right
the enemy could be seen in a little
clearing a mile away, and Troops X, G
and A, after plung!ng through the
bushes, blazed away at them with good
will.
There was at first some danger that
the Tenth cavalry, which came up
quickly as soon as the firing began.
would mistake the deploying RouGS
Riders on the right for Spaniards. and
one of the officers of the Tenth after
wards said that he was greatly relieved
when the guidon Of X appeared on a
slight elevation in the valley ahead. 1t
is doubtful whether Troops G, X and
A, which we're in that order on the
right of Company L, could have driven
the Spanish OF the hill without sup
port. The Tenth. on getting the word.
swarmed up the hill. firing with great
deliberation volley after volley. Their
alignment and GOODNESS were remark
able. Whenever a man was hit the
cry of Hospital" went up calmly. and
the troopers pressed on as if engaged
in practice manoeuvers. Although
many of them had never been under

confusion.

time . considerable halt was neces-
sary.
The Tenth cavalry, Injured to hot
weather marching, went along cheerily
enough, but when the battle began
they were some distance behind the
Rough Riders. The Tenth had, how
ever, q rough road to march over. That
which Colonel Woods regiment took
was a mere trail through the woods,
where it was not always possible for
four men to march abreast. Let it be
understood that the Rough Riders were
proceeding along one of the ridges. Of
which there are so many in the valley
that ends at Santiago. The course OF
the Tenth was in the bottom Of the val
ley. Overlooking the ridge on both
sides was some high ground, and In
front was a considerable hill.
The Spanish position was in the
shape of horseshoe, so that volley fir
ing could be directed from three sides
on a regiment advancing along the
ridge. On both sides of the trail were
dense thickets, in which the giant cac-
tus known as the Spanish bayonet
predominated, but the trend Of these
thickets was slightly upward on the
right and sharply downward on the
left
Capt. Capron, of the volunteers, was
riding at point, or ahead of the main
body. when he became aware Of the
presence of the Spaniards in force on
a hill to the right. He halted his lit
tie body of men and sent back word
to Col. Wood. The latter at once gave
orders to deploy on both sides of the
trail and enjoined silence, especially on
the left, where there was some shout
ing and laughter, for the men, tagged
out as they were from heat and march
ing, were inclined to be hilarious over
the prospect of brush with the enc
my. Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt at once re-
pressed their enthusiasm.
Suddenly from cover on the left front
and before the regiment was we'll de-
ployed, there came rip-rip-rip Of mus
kerry. The firing was directed against
Troop L, which was in advance. 1t is
said that the Rough Riders at the ex-

heavy rains have materially impeded
the progress of threshing and market
ing of the wheat in Pawnee county,
another element has sprung up which
promises to cut a considerable figure
with the elevator people and grain
dealers. The farmers are not disposed
to sell their wheat at present quota
tions and are building granaries, stor-
ing, and will hold it until the price
advances. Very little wheat is being
marketed as compared with q year
ago. The farmers in western Kansas
raised and sold enough wheat last year
to pay their debts and put them in
good shape. This explains why so
little wheat is being marketed from
the western section of the state at the
present time. There is lots of wheat
in western Kansas but unless the price
advances materially, very little of it
will be marketed before the first of
January.

is mighty good for a county of the ex-
treme southwest.
