SOME LIVELY WORK.

Shafter’s Army Landed Without the Loss of a Man. J SHARP FIGHTING REAR SANTIAGO. Spaniard* Are Driven Back—Cervera Cables Madrid That the Situation la Critical—The Texas Under Hot Fire. VBaiquiri Harbor, Cuba, June 24, via Dispatch Boat to Kingston.—The last of Gen. Shafter’s 16,000 American sbldiens were put ashore here late Wednesday anight. The Spaniards, utterly misled by Admiral Sampson’s fierce attack on Cabanas arid the other fortifications to the west of Santiago harbor, sent the atrongest body of their troops 40 miles away from where the troops were landed. The other bombardments, extending over a line of coast more than 20 miles long, prevented the massing of what Spanish soldiers were available on the east side of the harbor and the landing was accomplished without the loss of an American soldier. The siege guns, mules and horses, ammunition and other heavy supplies are being carried to the iron pier at Baiquiri. They are perfectly safe there. Between them and the Spaniards is the whole American force of 16,000 men in perfect fighting trim stationed, with all the knowledge that experience can give. Meanwhile, 15 miles away, over the hills, a battie is raging between Gen. Garcia’s 6,000 Cuban insurgents and the Spanish garrison of Santiago. With ♦ his insurgeut force to run over the Spaniards would be a longtime in reaching Baiquiri. The Cubans are in better trim than they ever were. Spaniard* Driven Hack. On Board the Dispatch Bout Mindora, Off Santiago, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 24. —Hard though desultory fighting was going on in the mountains on all skies of Santiago all Wednesday night. Gen. Shatter continued landing his troops at the Sigua Iron company’s docks. While this was going on several transports proceeded westward 12 miles and troops were landed to cooperate directly with the Cuban forces marching upon the doomed city in that direction. From the hills back of Santiago 900 Cubans have appeared and are harassing the enemy. Two bodies of Spaniards were driven from the hills in this direction back upon Santiago. This was only done after a desperate fight, in which 25 Spaniards are said to have been killed and twice that number wounded. Cubans who came out of Santiago Wednesday night report that the city is suffering terribly. Hunger is. encroaching upon citizens and soldiers alike. The citizens of Santiago are alrady petitioning the governor ♦ hat surrender be made without further fighting. Ccrvern Report*. Madrid, Jline 24.—Cable dispatches received here from Admiral Cervera say ♦he crews of the Spanish warships at Santiago have joined the land forces in order to take parkin the defense of the city. He adds that the situation is critical, but in a later dispatch, affirms that ♦he Spaniards “have victoriously repulsed the enemy.” A dispatch from the governor of Santiago de Cuba says: The attack on Seboney and Baiquiri continued until nightfall. The enemy was repulsed except on the left, at Baiquiri, where the Spaniards were obliged to retire in consequence of a flanking movement upon the part of the enemy, who landed several kilometers east of Baiquiri. The Spanish forces retired in good order Into the mountains. Seboney and Berraoo were destroyed by the American shells. During the afternoon u semi-official note was issued, “in order to avoid a misunderstanding,” pointing out that merely the Spanish left retired and took up a position in the mountains, owing to the Americans landing nine kilometers ♦ ust of Baiquiri where there were no Spanish troops, and endeavoring to outfla’nk the Spaniards. The note then points out that “this part of the country is very unhealthy nnd that yellow jack ir rampant." The Spanish official dis- ! patches are announced to have created “an excellent impression” here as indicating the “immense difficulties of the advance on Santiago de Cuba.” The dispatches from Cuba were read in the senate. whereupon the senators made patriotic speeches. Claim* m Victors - . The minister of war, fim. Correa, it is announced, has received an official dispatch from Santiago de Cuba, announcing that "The Americans’ nttack on Puntu Berraco has been repulsed after ahard-fought and bloody engagement."

Washington, June 24.—Up to 12:30 Thursday night neither the war nor the navy department had received any news from either the troops or the fleet in the vicinity of Santiago. The navy department had during the evening from Admiral Sampson, but all of them related to purely routine matters of no possible interest to the public. Admiral Sampson made no reference to fighting or even to skirmishing, and his silence on that point, together with the fact that nothing has been received by the war department from Gen. Shafter, is taken by the officials of both departments to mean that no engagement in the least way serious has occurred since the landing of the forces. Caman’i Fleet. London, June 24. —A dispatch from Madrid says Sagasta informed the chamber Thursday that Camara’s squadron was on its way to the Philippines. PaJmero, June 24. —The Giornale de Sicilia publishes a dispatch from the Island of Pantellaris, southwest of Sicily, announcing that Admiral Camara’s squadron, consisting of seven warships, including three torpedo boats, and convoying five transports, passed there on Tuesday.

On Board the Dispatch Boat Dauntless, Off Baiquiri, Santiago de Cuba, via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, June 23.—The landing of the United States troops from the transports began at Baiquiri iron pier, 12 miles east of the city of Santiago de Cuba, at ten o’clock Wednesday morning. Simultaneously the American fleet made a diversion towards Morro castle and westward. However secretly the plans were kept, the Spaniards seemingly had full warning of the hour and place for the landing of troops. The transports and their convoys assembled off shore during the night, but before dawn thejiouses of the villagers were fired, proving that Capt. Gen. Blanco’s standing orders always to burn a place before deserting it were being faithfully executed. With wonderful fatuity they burned the cottages, house and factory of the iron company, but left its pier, vital to the United States authorities directing the landing, standing and uninjured. At dawn the New Orleans, St. Louis, Detroit, Wasp. Tecumseh and Suwanee steamed vdjh'in nfle-sbet of the shore, but they were not molested. During the conflagration ashore there were several loud explosions, either from dynamite or ammunition left behind by the Spaniards. Sixty Spaniard* Killed. New York.

Senor Sagasta will announce the result after the cortes is prorogued. The Monadnock Snll*. San Francisco, June 24.—The coast defense monitor Monadnock sailed for Manila, via Honolulu, Thursday afternoon. The collier Nero, which will nccompnny the Monadnock, went out first. The warship followed in a few minutes. Men on the Monadnock think that the ship will make the trip to Manila in about 23 days.

The Manila Railroad company, having offices in this city, lias received a cable message saying that the Philippine insurgents have captured all but the inner city of Manila. They are respecting property and refrain from looting. A London agent of the insurgents claims to have information that Gen.

THEY HAVE NO FEAR.

Miles and Alger Confident of Success of Our Troops. PLEASED WITH NEWS FROM CDBA. Hot Surprised That Fishting Hu Be-goD-American* Will the Spaniard* to Do Battle— The Reinforcementa. Washington, June 24.—Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles were in conference in the secretary’s office at four o’clok Thursday afternoon when the first Madrid bulletin announcing that fighting had begun was shown to them. The secretary read it aloud with evident satisfaction, and both of them expressed themselves gratified with this favorable report, coming, as it did, from the enemy. There was no surprise that the fighting had begun so soon. It was suggested by the reporter that the troops had completed their landing only Thursday morning. “Y r es. but they have gone there to fight, and are ready to begin it at once,” replied Gen. Miles. Secretary Alger said no word had been received up to that hour indicating that fighting was in progress. He had no reason to doubt, however, that our troops had encountered the Spanish forces and had given a good account of themselves. He commented on Admiral Cervera’s cable that the situation was “critical” and that the Spaniards had been obliged to retire as in strange contrast with Madrid’s claim of a “Spanish victory.” Will Force the Fightlne. Gen. Miles said that t/he American troops would now push forward aggressively. driving in the Spanish and forcing them to figh,t. There was not a suggestion of apprehension or doubt, either with Secretary Alger or Gen. Miles, as to what the outcome would be. They had made their plans well and

they were confident that Gen. Shafter and his troops would be hammering at th» gates of Santiago before long. The impression here is that the Spaniards will make their strongest stand close to Santiago and the inner harbor within range of protection of the guns of the big Spanish cruisers lying there. Only One Hurt. The only positive news coming to the war department up to the close of office hours was a dispatch to Gen. Miles from one of his staff officers with Gen. Shatter, and also a brief dispatch 1o Gen. Greeley from Lieut. Col. Allen. Gen. Miles’ dispatch stated, in substance, that the landing of troops had been completed without any casualties, save to one Cuban soldier, who had his arm injured by the bursting of a shell. The troops of Garcia and Rahi. about 5,700 in number, had m< f the American forces with enthudnstir greetings. Stress was laid upon the point that the Cubans were well armed and well disciplined. Gen. Garcia was confident that his forces would lie swelled to 10.000 men as soon as Santiago fell. About the only need among the Cubans was shoes and quinine. The dispatch to Gen. Greeley merely stated that progress was being made in connecting the military forces directly with the war department. The Reinforcements. During the day orders were issued to the entire division, comprising the new-ly-created command of llrig. Gen Guy V. Henry, for the speedy departure to reinforce Gen. Shafter at Santiago. Already the Thirty-third Michigan regiment and one battalion of the Thirtyfourth Michigan hnve started on this mission. Thursday's orders cover the balance of Gen. Henry's command. It includes the remaining battalions of the Thirty-fourth Michigan, and the Ninth Massachusetts regiment. These will complete Gen. Duffield’s commnnd. The orders also cover the entire brigade of Brig. Gen. Gnrretson. which includes the Sixth Illinois. Sixth Massachusetts and Eighth and Ninth Ohio regiments. The plan is to move all of Gen. Henry's division on the Harvard and Yale, these ships to make two round trips. The first trip will carry most, if not all, of Gen. Duffieid’s brigade. The war department allows three days for the trip, two days to unload the troops, and three days to return to Newport News, making eight days. By that time Gen. Garretson’s brigade will be at Newport News ready to go on board the ships, and then w ill come the second trip, taking three days, with two days allowed for Garretsori’s troops to unload in Cuba. * The records of the adjutant general’s
