As Told by SpaniardS.

MADRID, June 29.-The cruiser
Antonio Lopez, while trying to
enter the river San Juan, near San
Juan de Puerto Rico, secretly, with
a cargo of provisions and war ma
terial, was detected by two Amer
ican war ships, but escaped by
swiftly changing her course. Her
captain, determined to land his
cargo, headed for shore at Salinao.
The shock of grounding exploded
the boiler. It is not known whether
there was any loss of life. The
Spanish gunboats Concha and Isa-
bella issued to the assistance of
the Antonio Lopez, whereupon the
Americans withdrew and the An
tonic Lopez landed her cargo.

refers to the recent affair in which the
Rough Riders" and cavalrymen partici-
pated as unimportant. He says only 964 of
our men were engaged, but it was very
decisive in our favor, the enemy retreating
precipitatey. General Shafter says that the
lack of cavalry was all that prevented the
capture of the Spanish forces. he express
es the deepest regret at the loss of so many
of our brave men. In vein of ridcule he
refers to reports reaching him from Sam
tiago that the American troops were beaten
and that the Spaniards retired only because
the Americans persisted in fghting.'' Gen.
Shafter emphasizes the need of horses. In
particular, he wants horses for the third
battalion of the First Cavalry and for Col.
Woods Rough Riders. He says the horses
he carried on the expedition stood the voy-
age well.
One of the most satisfactory points re-
ported by General Shafter Is that the last
of the artillery has been landed. This means
a great deal, as it was feared the loss of
the lighter would seriously delay the land
ing Of the heavy artillery. He does not
specify that the heavy guns as well as the
light artillery were landed but his state
ment that the last of the artillery was land
ed yesterday Is taken to cover all of the
ordnance. With these siege guns on shore
General Shafter is now in a position to sup
port the infantry and cavalry with the guns
Of the heavy artillery as well as the lighter
field guns. 1t appears also from the reports
that the last of the troops were not landed
until yesterday this occurring simultane-
ously with the landing of the artillery and
the transfer of the Cubans. 1t was prac-
tically the last move in concluding the
preparations for actual land operations.
General Skaters dispatches speak of the
high spirit of the troops and of their ex-
cellent health. They bring out also that the
commanding officer is no less in high spirits
than his men. for he concludes one of his
dispatches with the laconic sentence that
he hopes to send favorable reports soon.

SHAFTER DISPATCHES.
The General Reports He Can Take
Santiago i'm FOrty-Eight Hours.

WASHINGTON, June 20, 1920 p. m.-Gen
Shafter has just reported to General Miles
that he can take Santiago in forty-eight
hours, but indicates that the undertaking
might involve considerable loss. He is fully
aware of the approach of Spanish reinforce
ments, and it is believed here that he in
tends to take the town Immediately and
that news of battle might be expected
at any time. The general also reports to
the War Department that Spanish troops
numbering S,00O with pack trains and cattle,
are advancing from Manzanllo and are
now within fifty-four miles of Santiago The
War Department has also posted the fol-
lowing dispatch from General Shafter:
"Off Siboney June N.-The graves of the
dead are marked so that there will be no
mistake in Identification. The health of the
command is reported to me by the surgeons
as remarkable outside of the wounded
There are to-day less than $50 men sick
So far no wounded have died and but two
men of disease since leaving Tampa"
The War Department also gave out the

ton of yesterday which l gladly do

Hundreds of people in Manila are using
every effort to leave, and are offering 500

EQUIPMENT OF VOLUNTEERS.
Colonel Studebaker's Regiment Jaid
Before Starting for Cuba-ObJec-
tiOn to an appointment.

WASHINGTON, June %. - The under
standing at the War Department to-day was
that six transports. carrying reinforcements
for General Skaters army, would leave
Tampa to-day, going out with the tide. They
consisted Of about 5000 men with their
equipments and subsistence. This is only
small portion of the reinforcements to be
sent to General Shafter as at present de-
termined and include a portion of Brigadier
General Snyder's division. From the fact
that they are In command of Brigadier Gen.
Randolph, the presumption is that the artiI-
lery batteries under his charge, or at least
a portion Of them, also have been taken
with this expedition. There We're six bait
teries in all under command of General
Randolph, three of which were of heavy
and the remainder of light artillery. At Key
West the transports are to be met by a
convoy of naval vessels and escorted to
Santiago. Other transports are expected to
return from Cuba in few days. and they
will take the remainder of the troops as
signed to reinforce General Shafter.
Commissary General Eagan, of the army,
to-day awarded to Swift & Co., of Chicago,
contract for supplying the troops in Cuba
with refrigerated beef, in such quantities
and at such places as may be required.
The contract is big one, and involves the
shipment to that country of large cargoes
of dressed meat to be used not alone for
the soldiers. but also for feeding the recon-
centrados and the Cuban troops. The gov
ernment guarantees the contract to last for
not less than three months, and the beef IL
to be furnished so that it will be perfectly
good and fit for use seventy-two hours after
it's delivery. There were a large number
of proposals from firms which desired TO
obtain the contract, and considerable COM
petition was shown in the bids. II is i'm
possible at this time to say just how much
beef will be required, but it is safe to as
sumo that before the three months are uy
it will amount to over 100000 pounds day.
This is on the basis of 100000 men, who will
be furnished with pound and a quarter of
beef per day.
The intention of the commissary depart
ment is to send ships every few days from
Tampa, which will be made the sailing
point, each vessel to carry enough meat 10
last the troops until fresh consignment
arrives. For this purpose the department
has secured two vessels which will be fit
ted up with refrigerating plants that will
preserve the meat in fresh and wholesome
manner. The ships are the Port Victor and
the Obdam, both of which have been pur-
chased by the War Department. AS soon
as the refrigerating plants can be installed
they will be sent from New York to Tampa
After the number of troops in Cuba has
been materially increased by reinforcements
another vessel will be secured and fitted
out for the same use

Newport down the bay and out through the
Golden Gate to the Pacific, where the last
farewels were waved to departing military
men gathered on the deck Of the steamer.
The Newport will make an effort to over
take the third fleet of transports, which
sailed on Monday, after the fleet reaches
Honolulu, where the vessels will coal and
take on fresh supplies before proceeding to
Manila. General Merritt is very anxious to
avoid an encounter with any vessel of the
Spanish navy, and will issue orders to the
fleet at Honolulu to make all possible speed
1t is probable that the Newport will not
wait for the other vessels Of the feet at
Honolulu, but will proceed with as little
delay as possible 10 Manila.
General Merritt expects to reach Manila
by July 25 or Aug. at the very latest. Be-
fore his arrival, General Greene will have
consulted with Admiral Dewey as to the
advisability of making a joint attack on
Manila. General Merritt's installation as
governor general will be attended with as
little ceremony as possible. In his procla-
nation he will assure the people that their
forms of worship and churches will not be
interfered with. This will be made clear
as will also the fact that property is not to
be confiscated, in order to offset representa-
tions to the contrary, which have been
made by agents of Spain. The general has
requested the War Department to appoint
Maj. T. L. Rathbone as his personal repre-
sentative in San Francisco.
Gen. E. S. Otis and his force are doing
everything they can to get the fourth expe-
dition under way as soon as possible Every
thing depends on the transports. Twelve or
fifteen more are needed. AS many ships as
can be got together, without delaying the
next expedition, will be sent without regard
to a brigade organization or any specified
number of troops An attempt will be made
to get the expedition away by the 10th of

BRAVE CROUCH RIDERS"
Goodness and HerOism ON the Bloody
Field of Las Quasimas.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Richard Harding
Davis, the war correspondent of the Herald,
sends the following to his paper under date
of Colonel Woods headquarters Las Quas-
ina, June %: The first report sent to you
of Colonel Woods fight was written imme-
diatey after the firing ceased. 1t has since
been possible to obtain fuller details from
a Spaniard who was in the fight and was
later captured by Cubans. This prisoner
said of the volunteers: "fhey did not fight
as other soldiers. When we fred a volley
they advanced instead of going back. The
more we fired the nearer they came to us.
We are not used to fighting with men who
act So" This comment touches the most
gratifying feature of the engagement Five
hundred volunteers, surprised in a narrow
trail. successfully drove back four times
their number, under fire which killed or
wounded every tenth man. This is what Is
called a decimating fire, and one under
which, according to military tactics. troops
are expected to retreat. Credit for the en-
gagement therefore, is all the greater for
the reason that instead of a retreat there
was a steady cool advance, which only
ceased when the enemy's base had been taxi
en- and the Spaniards were seen retreating,
