CUBANS TO FRONT
Insurgents Now Making Them

Washington, June 15.-The welcome
news came to the navy department this
afternoon that the American marines

odds, were not only safe, but were rein.
forced by 1900 Cubans from the com.
mands of Garcia and Rabi, and were now
strong enough to more than hold their
own. This was disclosed by despatch
from Admiral Sampson.
The early reports. had indicated that the
marines We're surrounded, and it was
feared that they might be compelled to
return to the ships before Gen. Shafter's
invading army reached there. Naval
officials give the fullest credit to the time
illness OF the Cuban cooperation. Prob
ably the most significant feature of the
admiral's despatch was the statement that
the Cuban general, Rabbi, had occupied
Acerranderos, only eight miles from
Santiago and practically suburb of that
Spanish stronghold. 1t was the execu-

tion of a3plan arranged in Washington
some weeks ago, when two Of the staff
officers of Gen. Garcia came here to con-
fer with Gen. Miles. AT the time Garcia
and Rabbi were. at Bayamo, more than
100 miles northwest Of Santiago de Cuba,
Admiral Simpsons despatch showed
that Rabbi and his force had made q COM
plete circuit of Santiago de Cuba and
coming up to the south Of it had occu-
pied Acerraderos. This is looked upon as
a fine military stroke for Acerraderos is
a port where iron wharves will afford
facilities for unloading the heavy artillery
carried by Gen. Skaters invading expe-
the Spanish garrison at Santiago had
practically retreated inside the city prop
er, moving up-the outlying towns Ad-
niral SampseA ealso stated that Gen. Gar
oia was cooperating with the American
forces, Whether this means that Garcia
himself has arrived from Baya,no is not
quite clear, but If he has. the joint forces
Of Garcia and Rabi will make 5000 to
5000 seasoned Cubans, recently armed
with Springfields as bushwhacking
guerilla force to aid the American troops.
From sources other than the dispatches
of Admiral Sampson, the navy depart
ment has been informed that 800 Cubans
are rendering efficient aid to the marines
at Crest hill. Now that Rabi and Garcia
are on the.scene this 500 will be swelled
to thousands.
The news of the routing with serious
loss sof the Spanish guerillas ana the cap,
ture of their water supply by the marines
and Cubans had not been received up to
the close of the department today, but it
is felt here that it will make the Span.

forces to get much needed rest. In max

Wednesday, June 10, 1870 p. m.-The
United States marines under Lieut. Col
Robert W. Huntington, made the first
aggressive movement against the Spanish
guerillas today, and completely routed
the enemy. The force of marines was
under Captain Elliott, and the co-operat-
ing Cubans were under Col. Laborda.
The combined forces razed Spanish
camp about five miles from the American
position, destroyed the only well in the
vicinity and killed about forty Spaniards.
One American marine was slightly
wounded, Two Cubans were killed and
four wounded. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the number of Spaniards engaged
owing to their guerilla methods Of fight
ing, but it is believed there were at least
four hundred. The marines behaved
splendidly, their craftsmanship being
excellent even under the severe fire of the
enemy.
The captured camp lay about five miles
southeast Of the rifle pits of the marines
and was an important base for the enemy.
as it contained the only well within six
or seven miles. Lieutenant Col. Hunting

and about eight O'Clock the force started

further on. Little groups could be seen
fleeing from the camp, separating, DART
ing through the brush and zig-zagging to
escape the bullets. It was then the
American fire became the most desdly.
Man after man could be seen to fall in
vain rush for shelter. and the fire from
the Spanish became scattering and al
most ceased. Two Cubans lay dead and
four wounded, and Private Walker of Co.
D, had to limp to the rear with slight
wound In his ankle. The easy victory
put the command in high spirits. The
little black Cuban warriors waved their
maohetes and howled curses at the Span
ish in savage fashion. Their firing had
been wild throughout, but they all dis
played the utmost contempt for the
Spanish bullets, apparently being abso.
lutely without fear.
AS the enemy began breaking from the
camp, the Dolphin, which lay out to sea
was signal ell and began pitching shells
toward the thicket, for which the Span
iards were making Meanwhile Lieut.
Magill was seen coming with forty men
as reinforcements and Captain Mahoney
was on his way with a hundred more.
But before either could reach the scene
the trouble was all over.
