Tricks of Guerilla Warfare,

Guantanamo, via Kingston, June 10.
However unpleasant the experience,
the landing Of a small detachment of
marines, mostly raw men, in the enc
my's country, has taught some lessons
to the officers and men here, and posi-
bly, also to the authorities at Washing
ton. 1t has shown the Spaniards to be
daring bush fighters, and 1t has proved
that every American camp must be
compactly built and as we'll protected
to resist night attacks as though in the
Apache country. 1t has developed sew.
eral small defects in the navy guns
under service conditions, and i. has
shown that given a free rein with re.
peating rifles 500 nervous troops can
waste 10000 rounds of ammunition,
killing shadows, in a single night, and
not think even then they have done
much shooting.
Though the l6 Spaniards found by
Lieutenant Neville's men wore regular
uniforms, most OF those men in the
daylight attacks wore scarcely anything
except big plantain leaves bound around
their foreheads in lieu of hats. This
acted as an effective disguise in the
bush. Others, stripped to a pair of
dirt-colored trousers, tied branches
around their waists, reaching shoulder
high, and moving very cautiously, they
could even Cross open ground without
being detected, though some of them
were caught at the game.
Another trick was to make a moving
screen OF two or three big palm leaves,
almost impossible to detect where
stunted palm everywhere rises ont Of
the chapparal.
The Cubans were most useful in
pointing out these tricks. There are
60 Of these men now in camp, mostly
negroes, with Cuban officers. They
are hawkeyed woodsmen, breaking
even with the Spaniards in every de-.
vice OF bushcraft. The American ma.
rines at first were inclined to discount
this, but this morning they spoke en-.
Enthusiastically of their auxiliaries for
their daring. At night, in skirmish
time, the marines cay the Cuban aux.
~iliaries go through the bush like rab.
bits Their chief fault, however. il
their reckless handling of the new
magazine rifles.

A strong land breeze off the shore
carried the smoke of the ships seward
while it let down a thick curtain in
front OF the Spanish gunners. Their
guns responded spiritedly at first, but
their trenzied, hali-crazed fire could not
match the cool nerve. trained eyes and
skilled gunnery of the Americans. Our
fire was much more effective than in
preceding Commandments.
The admiral's ordnance expert had
given explicit directions to reduce tile

so az to shorten the trajectory and thus
a plunging fire. Az the shells
IN the preceding Commandment dropped
with the almost straight tra~jectories of
pro1ectiles with full charges, 1t was
almost impossible to plant them. They
would shoot into the air, encircling the
batteries, owing to the high elevation,
and fall far over the Notifications. The

In 10 minutes, one western battery

the powder magazine. The explosion
wrought terrible havoc. The frame
was lifted, the eides were blown out,
and n shower Of debris few in every
direction. One timber carried out of
the side OF the battery went tumbling
down the hill. The loss OF life must
have been great.
The batteries to the east OF Moro
were harder TO get at, but the New Or
leans crossed the bows OF the New York
to within 1900 yards OF the shore and
played a tattoo with her long lO-inch
rife, hitting them repeatedly, striking
a gun squarely in the muzzle, lifting it
off its foundations and sending it
sweeping somersaults into the air.
After awhile Admiral Sampson Gig
nailed the ships to temporarily cease
firing, in order to allow the smoke to
clear from the batteries.
When the order came at $50 to cease
firing, every gun Of the enemy bad been
silenced for 10 minutes, but as the
ships drew off some Of the Spanish
courage returned and a half dozen shots
were fired s~pitefully at the Massachu'
sets and Oregon, falling in their wake.
Throughout the b~ombardment the
vesuvius and the Porter, by the direc-
ton Of the admiral, lay outside OF the
right flank.
The steam launch Of the flagship
scurried among the ships, carrying mes
sages.
At the close of the action a stream
OF multi colored flags fioated from the
New York, generally complimenting
the ships, and especially commencing
the work of the Texas and New Or
leans.
The men Of the New Orleans raised a
cheer, which was passed quickly from
ship TO ship until every jackie in the
feet was bowling himself hoarse.
The destruction and death OF the
western batteries must have been appai-
ling.

oMmeFc building, Portland. Oregon.l
Professionals are now of the opinion
that there are but two considerations in
the market, the crop prospects and the
stocks. They believe that the price of
July will be particularly affected bv
the conditions likely to make the win
ter wheat harvest an early or late one.
The general sentiment is rather bearisb
on the price, but it is borne in mind
that with less than 1000, 900 bushels
contracted at Chicago. CONGESTION, even
without any manipulation, could east
~ be created. A rainy night might
delay the harvest 80 as to cost a July
short seller a good deal of money. The
feeling as to September and December
is that anything around 81 cents Will
be a high price unless the mop pros.
pect is disturbed in an important way.
With these futures it will make little
difference whether the harvest is late
or early. If a crop of 700, 600, 900
bushels, OF ever 600, 900, 900 bushels is
secured, 1t is taken for granted O price
anywhere around so cents is too good
to expect Wheat Spectators know
very we'll that crop conditions abroad
ara rs important to the price as the
conditions at home; and SO when
they talk Of so cents as a high price
they presume the continuance OF good
harvest prospects the world over.
That is the outlook now, although
there are some complaints of
able weather on the continent, Just as
there are Of rust and cinch bugs in
Kansas" There neve1 has been a year
without some complaint from some
quarter or without some crop mishap.
So far, however, the harvest outlook is
in q general way a fine one the world
over. Each week now finishes a large
wheat area, and in three weeks the re-
suit OF the entire winter wheat crop
will be settled

wall of the fort and throwing bricks
and mortar 80 feet in the air.
After badly damaging the fort, the
Marblehead shelled the earthworks and
barracks at the west end of the harbor.
She knocked them into the air, and
when the Spaniards fed from the fort,
they were shelled by the St. Paul and
driven into the bushes. The Span
iards fired only five shots, which did
no damage. After the ships stood out
into the harbor, the Spaniards in the
bushes opened fire on the Marblehead's
launch, which replied vigorously. The
Suwanee then turned back and shelled
the bushes, driving the Spaniards in
land.
The Marblebead's little steam launch
cleared out a detachment of Spanish
bushwhackers this evening and escaped
after a hot engagement Of a quarter of
an hour without the loss of a man.
The launch had been dragging the har-
Dor near the forts for mines and had
found one and was towing it back to
the Marblehead when the enemy, con-
cealed in the bushes on the shore,
opened a hot fire on the five mel in the
launch. The launch headed toward
shore and began banging away, but the
bow gun finally kicked overheard, car
rying the gunner with it, In the mean
time, the enemy was firing wildly.
The marine was promptly rescued. 1t
is believed that several Spaniards we're
killed.
