Gen. Rabi's Capture Of Acerraderos
a Brilliant Feat.
Senor Qucsada Says He Is One Of Best Fight
crs in Cuban Army.

Washington, June 16.-The work Of
the Cubans in reinforcing the marines
at Guantanamo and particularly in oc-
cupying Acerraderos, is receiving un-
retary Quesada and the Cuban Off
cfals also take much satisfaction in
these reports. Mr.. Qucsada said, to-
day, that the Cubans had not seen fit
to reply to criticisms current during
the last few weeks as to the Ineffective
ness of the Cuban soldiers as they
knew the criticisms We're due to ignor
ance of the careful plans. largely ma
tured at Washington, by which the
Cuban forces We're to execute their part
of we'll considered programme.
But now that the Cuban flag is
floating over Acerraderos." continued
Mr.. Quesada, "all the criticisms are
answered Accrradelos is about Is or
20 miles west of Santiago and is the
port for the great iron and copper
mines of that locality. 1t should nos
be COMPOUNDED with Aguadores. an
other suburban town to the southeasr
portant from a strategic standpoint,
than Aguadorcs, as it has exceptional
landing facilities.
The achievement of Gen. Rabi, in
making a forced march from Bayamo
is characteristic of the dash ana mill
tary genius of that officer. He is chief
of staff to Garcia, and has the rank Of
general of a division, which is midway
between your brigader general and
major general. He is about 45 years
of age, tall thin and muscular and
knows no fear. He takes pride in the
fact that he is partly Of Indian descent,
and he has the natural fighting charac-
ire of an Indian. He made a name for
himself during the last Cuban war and
soon took nigh rank when the present
war broke out.
when Gen. Martinez Camp1s
thought to make short work Of the
present war, he led the Spanish forces
to Sac del Inio. Cacacao and Pcralio,
where he met Gen. Rabi with Cuban
army much smaller than that of Cam
pos. But in each of these notable en-
gagcments Rabi outgeneralled and de-
feated Martinez Campos. the recogniz-
ed military genius of Spain. L led
Campos himself to declare that in Rabi
he had met a soldier worthy of his best
efforts. In occupying Acerraderos Gen
Rabi had with him about 1000 men
while Garcia is coming up with 5000 to
5000 more CubanS
The march of Rabi can hardly be
appreciated by anyone not familiar
with the mountains, sWamps and tan
gled tropical vegetation through which
he pushed his way from Bayamo to
Acerraderos. 1t is extremely gratify-
ing to the Cubans chat Admiral Samp-
son should Immediately recognize this
movement ard should officially report
in such complimentary terms to the
navy Department.
