Lawton's failure to force the Spanish

withyindomitable energy in the face Of
suggestions to retreat, backed by his
ablest generals and while the troops de-
manded impossibilities in the way Of

qua non Of success in staying, shafter

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-01-24

He might have gone further and hit off
the exact truth by the use of little
slang. Shafter is "hustler;" more
than that, he is a driver. An attempt
has been made to belittle his part in the
war by saying that he did not lead the
army: only "shoved" it. The general
who lives in history as having Showed
an army to glorious victory will get
along very we'll without finely worded
eulogies. His work is his monument.
1t is useless to judge a campaign by
its incidental mistakes. Apparent mis-
takes may contribute to success, SO
varied and uncertain are the causes of
success in war. But aside from all specu-
lation there were three crises in the
Santiago campaign when some one in
central authority took the favorable tide
at it's flood and led on to fortune. Ii
that man was not Shafter, it was some
one for whom he was responsible. He
is also genius who adopts and pushes
through the ideas of another.
The three occasions when the direct
ing mind in the Santiago campaign dis.
played rare and timely aggressiveness
were, first, the march from Sevilla for
ward on June 80; second, the persistent
attack on San Juan ridge, July |;
third, the decision to hold on at San
Juan ridge and demand the surrender
of Santiago. The situation of the army
on the goth Of June was one to balk a
commander less bold and unconventional
than Shafter. His army was not in a
condition approaching in the smallest
degree the ideal one for campaign of
assault and siege. The heat was trop-
ical. his men Of northern habit, full
outfits and equipments were not on
land, long range guns were wanting,
rations were consumed as fast as put
ashore, there were no practicable roads
to Santiago, and every military consid.
Grafton called for delay until the short.
comings were made good.
But delay in moving upon Santiago
would have been fatal to the army and
the cause. The army fought it's way
through the passes of the Spanish line

can front. 1t is true that to the norrn
of San Juan, between Ell Caney and the
city, the Spaniards were not SO we'll
prepared with blockhouses and trenches
as ON San Juan ridge, hut Ell Caney
was strong outpost, and the long range
guns form the Spanish batteries in
town could play on the ground inter-
vening, making up in part for lack Of
field defenses
Briefly, the Spanish had a strong right
ON San Juan ridge and weak left
with Ell Caney out Of the problem. 1t
is another axiom of war MOTTO make
general attack upon a position strong
on both TANKS and in the center. The
strength of the Spanish center depended
upon their holding on at the right.
When San Juan hill fell before the
American assault, the tactical Spanish
center to the left as far as the Ell Caney
road fell with it.
A strong position should be turned
when possible by attacking its weak
flank. But an attack upon the compare
lively weak field line OH the Ell Caney
road would not have effectually turned
San Juan ridge. The TANKS must be at
tackled simultaneously or else the right
and strongest CARRIED first. This is
what happened at Santiago. and the
sequel showed that the Spaniards had
prepared to launch out their right on
San Juan ridge and cut Shafter off from
his base in case they saw chance, as
would have offered had the Ell Caney
attack involved the bulk of the Ameri-
can army. Even stiff American line
behind San Juan could not have saved
Shafter had the Spaniards made a sortie
with the American right and center
| tied up on the Ell Caney route.
There was nothing to do but plunge
ahead despite loss and confusion and
carry San Juan ridge. AS for the loss
! in getting it, the proportion has been
exaggerated. 1t was comparatively light
in attack and not exceptionally heavy
in getting to work. Instances might be
cited from all wars, including the bat
ties of the civil war under the best cap
tains, when the percentage of loss in
getting favorable positions for assault
was double that incurred in threading
the jungle to reach San Juan ridge.
It is an afterthought to say that the
attack upon Ell Caney should have pre-
ceded that upon San Juan ridge by 9
day. It was supposed that Ell Caney
would fall speedily, hence joint attack
upon both TANKS was proper. A heavy
feint to end in attack if conditions IA
vored was called for at San Juan ridge
as cover to Lawton's attack upon ~
Caney village. Lawton's insistence up
on carrying Ell Caney village before at
lacking the city is open to criticism
General Skaters explanation of the af
fair is that he, personally, wanted t.
place brigade in front of Ell Caney OF
the southwest to cut it off from Santi
ago and then throw three brigades un
der Lawton against Santiago on tn
northeast. Lawton preferred Genera
Chaffee's plan of finishing Ell Caney be
fore attempting Santiago. AS these gen
erals promised to carry FL Caney by
a. m. July !, Shafter yielded and order

it was IN Santiago, but, after two weeks
of inactivity there, was hors de combat
by reason Of exposure to climatic dan
gers. 1t is plain now that delay from
July l to the end of the sickly season
or even to the flush of it would have
destroyed the personnel of the corps,
while retirement to the ships would
have been violation of orders. These
orders called for an immediate land at
tack upon Santiago from the seaceast.

Confusion at the army landings has
been made much of in descriptions of
the campaign. No army Of like dimen-
sions ever landed under similar condi-
tions without confusion. One official
has testified that everything was sacri-
feed to get men, ammunition and ra
tions to the front--that is to say, the
fighting outfit was "hustled" ashore
and to the danger point. At New Or
leans Andrew jackson refused to wait
for organization and thorough equip
ment to come forward, but drummed
up the "ragtag and bobtail" Of the i'm.
periled city armed with any form Of
weapon. Only by SO doing could hs
march forth and wipe out Pakenham.
