United States Troops Drive the Enemy from Town-Without - Losing a man. Port of Guanica, IsTaqfl-of Porto 2 P; the Is- 1 - States military expedition under the command of Major General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army of the Unit¬ ed States, which left Guantanamo during the evening of Thursday last, was landed here successfully today after a skirmish between a detachment of the Spanish troops and a crew of thirty belonging to the launch of the United States auxiliary gunboat Glouchester. Four of the Spanish were killed, but no Americans were hurt. The troops were pushed forward promptly in order to capture the railroad leading to Ponce, which is only about ten miles of this place. From Ponce there is an excellent military road running eighty-five miles north to San Juan. The whole of General Brook’s force, with the New Orleans, Annapolis Cincinnati, Leyden and Wasp, are expected here within twenty- four hours. The ships left Guantanamo bay suddenly on Thursday evening with the Massachusetts, commanded by Captain F. J. Higginson, landing. Captain Higginson was in charge of the naval expedition, which con- sisted, in addition to the Massachu- setts, the Columbia, Dixie, Glou¬ chester and Yale. General Miles was on board the last named vessel The troops were on board the trans¬ ports Nueces,Lampasas,Comanche, Rita, Unionist, Stillwater, City of Macon and Specialist. This was the order in which the Transports entered the harbor here. MILES SUDDENLY CHANGES HIS PLANS. At noon yesterday General Miles called a consultation, announcing that he was determined not to go by San Juan cape but by the Mona passage instead, land here, surprise the Spaniards and deceive their military authorities. The course was then changed and the Dixie was then sent north to warn Gen- eral Brooks at Cape San Juan. Port Guanica has been fully de¬ scribed by Lieutenant Whitney, of General Miles staff, who recently made an adventurous tour at Porto Rico. Ponce which is situated ten or fifteen miles from this port, is to the eastward and a harder place to take. In addition, the water at Ponce is too shallow for the trans- ports to be able to get close to shore, Then again, at Ponce, the woods a little dense w here the troops wou i d have been obliged to land if that oint had beeil selected for the deburkation f the expe dition. One advantage of this place is that it is situated close to the rail- road connecting with Ponce, which means of transportation of our troops hope to secure today. Early this morning the Glouchester, i 1 charge of Lieutenant Commanck r Wainwright ' iuanica step— harbor in order to reconnoiter the place. \\ ith the fleet waiting outside, the gallant little yatch braved the mines which were supposed to be in this harbor and found that there were live fathoms of water close in shore. Guanica bay is a quiet place sur¬ rounded by cultivated lands. In the rear are high mountains and close to the beach nestles a village of about twenty houses. The Spaniards were taken by surprise. Almost the first they knew of the approach of the army of in¬ vasion was the announcement con¬ tained in the firing of a gun from the Glouchester, demanding that the Spaniards haul down their flag, which was floating from a flagstaff, in front of a block house standing to the east of the village. The first couple of three-pounders were fired into the hills right and left of the bay purposely' avoiding the town, lest the projectiles hurt women or children. The Glouches¬ ter then hove to within six hundred yards of the shore and lowered a launch, having on board a Colt rapid-hre gun and thirty men, and under the command of Lieutenant IIuss, which was sent ashore with¬ out encountering opposition. first united states flag goes UP. Quartermaster Beck thereupon told Yeoman Lack to haul down the Spanish flag, which was done, and the first United States flag to float over Porto Rican soil was rais¬ ed on the flagstaff. Suddenly about thirty Spaniards opened fire with Mauser rifles on the American par¬ ty. Lieutenant Huss and his men responded with great gallantry, the Colt gun doing effective work. Nor¬ man, who received Admiral Cer- vera’s surrender, and Wood, a vol¬ unteer lieutenant, shared the hon¬ ors with Lieutenant Huss. Almost immediately after the Spaniards fired on the Americans the Gloucester opened fire on the enemy with all her 3 and 6-pound¬ ers which could be brought to bear, shelling the town and also dropping shells into the hills to the west of Guanica, where a number of Span¬ ish cavalry where to be seen hasten¬ ing toward the spot where the Americans had landed. Lieutenant Huss threw up a little fort which he named Fort Wain- wright and laid barbed wire in front of it in order to repel the’ ex¬ pected cavalry attack. The lieu¬ tenant also mounted the Colt gun and signalled for re-enforcements, which were sent from the Glouces¬ ter. The Associated Press dispatch boat Cynthia II was the only boat in the harbor except the Gloucester. While the Mausers were pepper¬ ing all around, Lieutenant Cam- mander Wainwright called to the Associated Press correspondent and said : 4 4 They fired on us after their flag was down and ours was up, after I had spared the town for the sake of the women and children. The next town I strike I will blow it up.’ Presently a few of the Spanish cavalry joined those who were fight¬ ing in the streets of Guanica, but the Colt barked to a purpose, kill¬ ing four of them. By the time the Gloucester had the range of the town and ot the block-house and all her guns were spitting fire, the doctor and the pay¬ master helping to serve the guns. Soon afterwards white-coated galloping cavalrymen were seen climbing the hills to the westward and the foot soldiers were scurrying along the fences from the town. By 9 .45, with the exception of a few guerrilla shots, the town was won and the enemy was driven out of its neighborhood. The Red Cross nurses on the Lampasas and a de- tachment of regulars were the first to land from the transports, After Lieutenant Huss had cap- tured the place he deployed his small force into the suburbs. But he was soon re-enforced by the reg- ulars, who were followed by corn- pany G. of the Sixth Illinois, and then by other troops in quick suc- cession. All the boats of the men- . of-war and the transports were used \ in the work of landing the troops, SUBSCRIPTION, ?i.00 A YEAR NO. 37. each steam launch towing four or five boats loaded to the rails with soldiers. Everything progressed in an orderly manner and according to the plans of General Miles. The latter went ashore about noon after stopping to board the Gloucester and thank Lieutenant Commander Wainwright for his gallant. action. General Miles said: “Guanica and Cinga are in the disinfected portion of the island. Mateo, the insurgent leader, lives at Yauco, a few miles inland. Had we landed at Cape San Juan a line of rifle pits might have stopped our advance.” There is no doubt that General Miles’s plans are being kept abso¬ lutely secret. The spirits of the troops, men and officers is admirable. The Massachusetts and Illinois contin¬ gents, which have been cooped up on board the Yale and Rita for a fortnight, will be delighted to get ashore and all will be well protect¬ ed by artillery before a serious ad¬ vance is begun. Guanica is the most lovely spot yet occupied by our forces. It is the seat of the coffee and sugar in- dustry and large herds of cattle are pasturing in meadows, which are bordered by cocoanut palms. Many head of cattle and a large number of horses have been driven in to the mountains by their owners. Some of them will be captured. Ponce is the second city of the is¬ land, and has a splendid harbor and will make a good base of operations. There were fif- teen large coasters this ‘after¬ noon at Guanica bay, but only two barges were captured. It is likely that the Spanish garrison from Ponce may try to surprise our peo- pie tonight. But it will only be an affair of outposts. The town of Ponce is sure to fall shortly before the combined attack of our army and navy. The main fighting until San Juan de Porto Rico is reached will be along the line of a splendid military road lead¬ ing from Ponce to San Juan de Porto Rico. But every precaution will be taken 4 o lesson our casual¬ ties, even to the use of the street shields, of which a supply was brought with the expedition. The health of the troops is excel¬ lent, except among the Massachu¬ setts men. They have been packed on the Yale for about fifteen days and thirty cases of typhoid fever have developed among the soldiers. Parker, of the Sixth Massachusetts, died on Friday and was buried at sea.
