Associated Press Story of the Landing Of
Troops.
PLAYA DEL ESTE CABLE STATION,
Guantanamo Bay, June 23.-At 8 a. m.
the army began landing at Daiquiri,
ID miles west of Santiago de Cuba. 1t
is not thought the Decentralization will
be finished for several days.
At $3.50 the first boat load, containing
the men Of the Eighth and First in.
fantry, started for the shore, followed
by the Twenty-fifth (colored), Tenth
and Twelfth infantry at 1910.
Prodigious cheering from the shore,
caught up by the nearest ships and fly.
ing from vessel to vessel thro ugh the
squadron, announced the mo mentous
fact that the American army had be-
gun landing on Cuban soil, the honor

falling to detachment of the Eighth
infantry that was towed ashore by the
tug Wampatuck. This important
operation thus successfully completed
without loss Of life or accident, the
troops on land formed and moved up
and away to quarters without con.
fusion. A force of mounted Cubans,
which had been under cover during the
bombardment, now arrived and con.
gratulations were exchanged.
|. At l1:30 detachment of the Second
Massachusetts, volunteers started for
the shore and by noon probably 5000
men had landed. Other detachments
were following as rapidly as the steam
launches could be made available.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Official dis.
patches received by both Secretary
Alger and Secretary Long indicate
that the landing Of troops near San.
tiago is progressing most favorably.
The first landing was effected at Dali
quiri and met with comparatively
slight resistance. This was stated in a
dispatch received by Secretary Alger,
as follows:
Playa del Este, June 22.-Secretary Of
War, Washington. Landing at Daiquiri
this morning successful. Very little If
any, resistance. SHAFTER.
Secretary Alger expressed himself as
delighted at the expedition with which
the landing of tho troops was being
effected and with the fact that no seri.
GUS obstacle was being offered by the
enemy. He construed the text of Gen.
eral Skaters dispatch as meaning that
the enemy had made only nominal
and ineffective resistance by firing
from the hills at long range.
Long Hears FROM sampson.
Shortly after Secretary Alger re.
received his dispatch Secretary Long
received more extended cablegram
from Admiral Sampson. 1t, too was
dated at Playa del Este. The text Of
the dispatch, translated from the navy
department cipher, is as follows:
Landing of the army is progressing sue
cessfully at Daiquiri. There is very lit
tie, if any, resistance. The New Orleans,
Detroit, Castine, Wasp and Suwanee
shelled vicinity before the landing. We
made demonstration at Cabanas to en-

Texas engaged the west battery for some
hours. She had one man killed. Ten
submarine mines have been recovered
from the channel Of Guantanamo. Com
munication by telegraph has been estab-
ished at Guantanamo. SAMPSON.
In both army and navy circles the
information contained in the dispatches
of General Shafter and Admiral Samp.
son is received with intense satisfac.
ton.
A Task of Immense Proportions.
The landing OF 80 large a body Of
troops as General Shafter at present
has under his command is q task Of
immense proportions. A prominent
official of the war department. said that
the complete debarkation Of the troops,
animals, field guns and supplies within
q week after their arrival off the
Cuban coast would be q task
well accomplished. It was the opinion
of the officer referred to that only a
partial landing of the troops was
effected during the day and that the
landing would be continued from day
to day until completed. 1t is not un-
likely, too, that the troops will be
landed at several places along the
coast, Of course within short distance
of the headquarters which General
Shafter will establish for himself.
Admiral Simpsons dispatch indi.
Gated that he was carrying out his in
structions thoroughly to clear way
for the landing of troops.

COMMODORE JEW Er.

Commodore Dewey's report Of his
great triumph in the harbor OF Ma
nilla sets Mt rest all the fears aud anx-
ieties OF the nation. His brief dis
patch. pregnant with meaning, sends
JOY to the heart OF every lover OF
liberty and adds new luster to the
rlories Of the American navy. The
achievements Of his gallant men in
the Tar. off harbor OF Manila on That
fatetul Sunday will stand us a monu-
ment through all failure ages to the
daring and bravery Of the American
Sailor.
Dewey and his men have proved to
the world that the American sailor Of
today has all OF the dash and bravery
OF Paul Jones, Lawrence. Decatur,
Farragut and others whose deeds OH
the sea have illumiued the pages OF
Dur country's history. Their spirit
nnimates the blue jackets OF today
and nerves them to deeds OF valor
and glory.
A few weeks ago the hero OF Ma
nilla wss comparatively unknown to
the American people. Now his name
is honored and revered throughout
the world and his fame is waited on
every breeze. Lovers Of liberty
everywhere arc chanting praises OF
the man who Il few short weeks ago
was only known rs commander Of the
Asiatic squadron OF the American
navy. The great mass of his country
men knew but little about and moth
ing OF the rugged genius and SPLEEN
did capabilities OF the man who was
to startle the world by the brilliancy
OF his achievements in the harbor of
Manila. The future historian will
write the name OF Dewey high up on
the roll OF fame and there it will
stand until time shall be no more.

wnERE II MONEY IS.

Money lenders assure business men
that the banks are stuffed full with
money which can be obtained at a
low rate OF interest on gilt edged
securities. The only borrowers are
those who are already struggling I'M

borrow money to invest in any pro-
ductive industry with the expectation
OF profit is putting a rope around his

It is not performing the functions
Of money, and might rs well be in the

vaults. awaiting opportunities to in
crease the accumulated wealth Of it's
owners. BY reducing its volume its
purchasing power is enlarged.
The time was when an improved
farm was considered good security
for a loan equal to half its appraised
value. Notwithstanding the great
abundance Of idle money, the con-
stant shrinking in the commercial
value OF real estate, il is not a gilt
edged security for any sum-. The ac-
cunulation Of money in the hards Of

without fear OF contradiction that il
there Is plenty Of money it is not in

Confronted by an expensive wal the
subject OF finance will assume a
greater importance than ever. The

treasures. They await the return OF
peace, when they come out Of their
hiding places and then boast Of what
they have done to save the ship OF
state from being wrecked. The peo-
pie OF the United States have ali ex-
pensive lesson of the folly OF trusting
to gold syndicates and bankers as-
