equipped to play the part of star
witness In the coming Sampson-Schley
Investigation. He did not seem to re-
gard Sampson as a great fighter in
those days.
We who were with the doughty
Shafter have very lively recollections
of the generals bringing his huge fist
down upon the quivering camp table to
emphasize the string Of characteristic
strong words he used to express his
opinion of Admiral Sampson.

the. bay?" said the general. rs he
lHaid of scraping some Of the paint
I'm the bottom of his ships?"
This was after the Spanish fleet had
been destroyed. There were no war
ships flying the Spanish flag in the
bay, but it was said then that the
channel was mined and that If any
hostile craft attempted to force an en-
trance it would be blown over the
mountains.
Gen. Shafter was a rank skeptic
about the mines. The Cubans had told
him, and their report was partially
corroborated by some refugees. that
any mine or torpedo which had been
laid in the channel had been there SO
long that it would not explode. They
said the only danger to an American
ship was in the shore batteries.

and other adventurous officers came
to Cen Shafter with a scheme for the
army to do what the navy seemed to
be afraid of doing. They planned call
Ing for volunteers to man an army
transport, putting on the vessel bat
terry of field guns. and with it force an
entrance to the harbor and take up
position behind one of the islands in
the bay, where they would be out OF
the line OF fire from any battery and
yet be in position to rake the city.
Shafter took kindly to the plan,
which was kept deep secret, but. like
all secrets, the scheme leaked out and
\ scores of officers were eager to volun-
teer, some of them offering to go as
privates. But Just as the scheme was
taking tangible form Gen. Toral made
1t known to Gen. Shafter that he was
willing to come in," and nothing
more was done with the transport
proposition.
