the fleet was moving into the harbor.
The Spaniards opened up all along the
line about that time and we were some
what busy ourselves. yet we kept
keen ears in the direction of the bay.
The heavy booming seemed to move
eastward. and finally the voice of the
great guns grew fainter and at last
dice out. Even then we did not think
the Spanish feet had gone out. and it
was not until noon that word came
from Gen. Ludlow, who was north Sf
the city. where he could see the bay,
that the Spanish ships apparently had
gone out of the harbor, for none was
to be seen.
At last we received definite news of
the great victory and then the men in
the trenches gave voice to their en-
thusiasm. The next day we got the
details, and 'it is interesting to recall
the fact that no one then had a whis-
per against Schley "Schley did it,"
'Schley was the hero" The Brooklyn
did most of the work" were the COM
ments heard then. The army officers
declare that the celebrated loop which
the Brooklyn made was a great ma
neuvers-that Schiey proved himself
to be a great sea fighter.

where Shafter had his headquarters.
The army officers dirty and yellow,
their thin faces showing the effects of
fever and hardships and lack
of food. nocked around Schley.
Admiral Sampson stood al
most alone at one end of the long
room, but Schley was the center of an
enthusiastic crowd He was congratu-
lated again and again. Generals, colo
nels, majors, captains and lieutenants
pressed his hands. They threw their
arms around him and told him he was
a great man. OF course every army Of
fiGer paid his respects to Sampson, but
most of them did it in a conventional
way. There was no warmth to their
greetings.

None of us believed that the Span

by order of Gen Shafter-from the
shore to Admiral Sampson. II this was

hold conference with Gen. Shafter
About $3.50 o'clock on the morning
of July we heard several of the navy
guns roar. No one in the trenches of
San Juan hill paid any particular at

the warships had begun their daily
bombardment of MORO castle and the
other batteries.

manded the beleaguered Spanish
forces. if it could take up a position
opposite the city of Santiago. He
urged Sampson to make the attempt,
but the commander of the American
feet did not seem to see it that way.
Then it was that Shafter declared
that he would do it. Capt. SteVart
Brice, son of the late Senator Calvin
Brice, one of Skaters military fam
lily, and Col. Creighton Webb, inspec-
or-general of Gen. Lawton's division,
and other adventurous officers came
to Gen. Shafter with scheme fer 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 a bat
terry of field guns, and with it force an
entrance to the harbor and take up a
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 tc go as
privates. But just as the scheme was
taking tangible form Gen. Toral made
il known to Gen. Shafter that he was
willing to "come in and nothing
more was done with the transport
proposition.

Gen. Shafter before and after
Cervera's fleet dashed out of Santiago
bay to its destruction he would be well
equipped to play the part of a star
witness in the coming Sampson Schley
investigation. He did not seem to re-
gard Sampson as a great fighter in
those days.

of the generals bringing his huge fist
down upon the quivering camp table to
emphasize the string of characteristic

This was after the Spanish feet 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 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
