over, came out-colored women and
children creeping into sight from sub
terranean shelters. At 11.3O de-
tachment of the Second Massachusetts,
volunteers pulled for the shore, and
by noon probably three thousand men
had been landed. Other detachments
were following as rapidly as the steam
launches could be made available for
them.
Fhe sea was auspiciously calm and
the sky clear. A cool breeze was
blowing and the troops were in the
highest feather, and at the strains Of
"Yankee Doodle" were greeting, with
loud cheers, every string of the boats
coming in.
The correspondent Of the Associa-
ted Press, going ashore at 1910 p. m,
found that the Spaniards had done
little wanton mischief. Around the
house locomotive, several cars and
the railway Offices had been destroyed,
but the bulk Of the village was left
standing. Firing on Juraga still con-
tinues as this dispatch is filed: but it
is desultory and is directed over the

relief. A friend who knew what was

ban commander S tent is rude hut,
covered with leaves and containing

after words of greeting had been spo-
ken, the consultation was held. 1t
lasted several hours. Gen. Garcia
explained his plans fully; told how he
had the Spanish general, Pando, coop
ed in Manzanillo, without the posi-
bility Of being able to cooperate with
the Spanish troops in Santiago, and
laid before the American officers maps,
showing all the mountain trails, lead
ing to Santiago from the most conve-
nient landing places east and west Of
the harbor entrances
Gen. Dudlow, in particular, made
close investigation of the subject, and
sought all the information available
with regard to the most feasible plans
Of transporting large body Of troops
overland.
Rear Admiral Sampson says that
the general landing of the troops Of
Gen. Skaters expedition ON the coast
of the province of Santiago de Cuba
will necessarily be delayed several
days. Reports published in the Uni
ted States to the contrary are pure
guess work.
HOW LANDING OF TROOPS WAS MADE.
On Board the Associated Press Dis
patch Boat Wanda, off Daiquiri,
Wednesday afternoon, June 22.-As
9 clock, the hour supposed to have
been fixed for commencing the disem-
barkation came and passed, the expe-
dition was in suspense, but the squad
ron lay rocking complacently outside
the little bay. About 9.15 a. m. the
bombardmeDt of the hills surrounding
the village Of Juragua, some six miles
away, began to distract our attention
from our own affairs. Then steam
pinnacles, trailing strings Of empty
boats began speeding to and fro among
the transports and gradually, though
imperceptibly, began filing up with
troops.
At 9.45 Cuban scouts appeared west
Of Daiquiri, and the New Orleans,
Machias, Detroit. Suwanee and Wasp
began bombarding. Forty-fve rounds
were fred into the bush during the
first quarter Of an hour and many
rounds from the quick firing guns.
Not shot was fired in reply. At 9.45
the first boat load, containing the
men of the Eighth and First Infantry,
started for the shore, followed by the
Twenty-Fif fifth, colored, and the Tenth
and Twelfth infantry at 1.lU.
Prodigous cheering from the shore,
caught up by the nearest ships, and
flying from vessel to vessel through
the squadron, announced the moment
GUS fact that the American army had
begun a landing on Cuban soil, the
honor of setting the first foot on the
island falling to detachment Of the
Eighth Infantry that was towed
ashore by the tug Wampatuck.
This important operation, thus sue
cessfully completed without loss Of
life or accident, the troops on land
formed and moved up and away to
quarters without confusion. A force
Of mounted Cubans, which had been
under cover during the bombardment,
now arrived and congratulations were
exchanged. The inhabitants Of the
village, assured that the worst was
