THE BATTLE AT GUANTANAMO.
No Official Advices Received at Washing ton-The Report Indicates Some
 Ugly Possibilities.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Ne official report has been received of the fight ing said to have taken place between the marines at Guantanamo bay and Spaniards. Saturday, but the press re ports are generally accepted as correct.
 It can not be said that the attack caused surprise, but it was plain to be seen thatit indicated to the officials some ugly possibilities for the future. It is apparent for one thing that regular organizations of troops, fighting according to estab- lished methods, are destined to meet with severe loss at the hands of irregu- lar bodies such as the Spanish guer- rillas, who evidently have taken leaf from the Gabans, practice something like Indian warfare in the iangles
 One of the most annoying features attending this style of warfare is the worry imposed upon the soldiers. for a few score irreeuiars can manage to keep in state of unrest and excite ment d large body of regular troops, preventing them from sleeping and generally disturbing them Behind earthworks there will be but little reason for complaint on this score, and it is probable that our troops in opcr- ating in Cuba will be obliged to resort frequently to this means of defense.

INVASION OF CUBA BEGUN.
Six Hundred Marines Have Pitched Their -~Tents on the Ruins of the Outer Forti-
 heations of Guantanamo.

FFGUANTANAMo, Cuba, Friday, June io, via PaRr ANTONIO, Saturday, June II, a. m.-The invasion of Cuba by the American forces began to
 day. Six hundred marines have pitched their tents about the smok- ing ruins of the outer fortifcations of Guantanamo, and the Stars and Stripes for the first time float on Spanish flagstaff in Cuba. To Capt. Clark and the battleship Oregon be- long the honor of accomplishing the first successful landing of the war. Forty marines from the battleship went ashore this morning and occupied the left entrance of the bay until the Panther arrived with 600 marines. These, under the command of Lieut. Col. k. N. Huntington arrived at three o'clock, and within an half hour they had burned the buildings of the Span ish camp and set fire to the mis- erable little village which crouched
 on the beach under the hill top of Guantanamo The whole operation of sieneing the guns and land- ing the forces was as easy as placing d Suuday-school picnic. The Marblehead, backed by the Vixen and Dolphin, opened fire on the earth works yesterday. The shores to the right of the entrance were lined with guns and rifle pits, but the Spaniards stampeded after firing few shots.

CHICAGO, June 14-All interest on the board of trade centered in the doings of Joseph Letter and the results of his famous big deal in wheat A tre- mendous slump in prices was gener- ally attributed to immense sales for him. According to one au- thority, MT. Letter ordered all his trades closed out at the opening of the days transactionsin the wheat pit, and it was stated that at least 5000, GOO bushels of wheat were liquidated for him in the Chicago mar ket alone The severest breaks in prices, however, were in the northwest, where it was said Letter had his big lines.
 a Cash wheat in Duluth went off iS Cats, and in Minneapolis r cents. HaAa hour before the close Letters sales |, Chicago were placed as high as 10000, ,o0e bushels. His brokers. Allen X Grier, teansferred June wheat to Armour and September to Lamson Bros.
 It was reporseeShata movement was on foot among strong interests to take care of cash wheat, ans that a meet ing was in session at whAh this mat ter was under consideration.
 Fifteen minutes before the osing bell rang on change the tickers h q a report that Letter cash wheat wos, d be trusted. It was said that the ps1lx- ers who had made advances onZs had a. aed to take care of it. 4
 D. ing the final rnonentss trading. Joseph Letter was at tlre}Hnois Trust < Saving bank in cgsultation with his father, z LeitE, and others. Jo- seph Letter sae iSereply to inquiries that he would s6ot make an assign ment; that his options had been liqui- dated and that his cash wheat would be trusted
 Joseph Letter admitted to friends that he had lost money. Excitement on the board ran high. Stories of financial trouble for the young man who engineered one of the greatest wheat deals in the history of the eoun- try gained circulation.
 However, little credence was given to this feverish gossip at first. Mir Letter was closeted with his father, L, /. Letter, and when pressed to tel whether the slump in the cereal ha6 effected his interests, frankly admit ted that he had lost money. How much he would not say. He had not the time to go into details.
