These were handed over Wed

of Santiago, to some SOU instir-,

beach, the main body remain
ed in the mounfains. The de- '

The insurgents reported that
irregular engagements between

alry were of daily occurrence.
The Cubans were hard up for
supplies and ammunition ami
were overjoyed at the sight of
the Suwanee’s cargo. Some al
most ravenous, hacked at the
slices of bacon and ate raw beef.
They had been living on limes,
cocoanuts and sweet potatoes.
Ensign Gilpin, of the Suwa
nee, went ashore and accompan
ied the Cubans to their tempo- i
rary camp inland, where- he I
found irni or a dozen wounded
men badly in need of surgical |
attention. Bandages for them
were send from the Suwanee.
ihe casualities were the result
of a brush on the previous night
with Cpanish cavalry.
To the correspondent of the
Associated ] ress on the dispatch
boat Wanda, Ensign Gilpin,
describing his experience at the
camp, which is about ten miles
inland, said:
“I found the insurgents a
rough looking and mixed lot of
boys and old men. rigged out in
any way, carrying arms of all
sorts and all anxious to borrow
everything 1 had, f.om my I
blouse to mv revolver. Four

Spanish soldiers in uniform,
carrying lifies, marched into the
camp \\*iiiie I was there and said
tney wantei to join the insur
gents.
They were enrolled, ‘but a
close watch was kept on them,
as they belonged to the civil
guard. A Cuban officer told me
such conditions were not infre
quent. The Spaniards had Mau
ser rifles, which were in fairly
good condition.”

□ISCIPLINRND OBEDIEMCE'
Noted, Also the Good Feeling
Between Officers and Mon.
London, June 13.—Some in
teresting impressions and criti
cisms of the American soldier
have appeared this week from
the pens of English war corres
pondents with the army of inva
sion. They are, on the whole, fa
vorable and the correspondent
of the Times, who was on board
the transport Gussie, was par
ticularly impressed with the
workmanlike “kit” and business
like intelligence of the American
regulars. As to discipline, the
correspondent writes :
‘ The firing discipline during
the three times we have bean
under fire, has been excellent,
the obedience of soldiers to their
officers has been as prompt and
and intelligent as anything I
have seen in Europe, and as to
coolness under fire and accuracy
of aim, what T have seen is most
satisfactory. The men evidently
regard their officers as soldiers
of equal courage and superior
technical knowledge. To the
Yankee private, “West Pointer”
means to the soldier of Prussia
is conveyed by noble rank. In
my intimate intercourse with
officers and men aboard this ship
I cannot i ecall an instance of r n
officer addressing a private oth
erwise than is usual when a gen
tleman issues an order.
“I have never heard an officer
or non-commissioned officer
curse a-man. During.the en
gagement of Cuba as the orders
were issueds aquietly as at any
other time and the men went
about their work as steadily as
blue jackets on a man of war.”
The Times is very severe on
the dress uniform of the Ameri
can army, which it declares were
designed by the politicians and
tailors of Washington. It says:
“For dress occasion the Amer
ican uniform is far and away
the ugliest of all the uniforms I
know. 1 lie hemlets and cocked
hats are of the pattern affected
by theatrical managers ; the dec
orations tawdy ; the swords ab
surd, the whole appearance in
dicative of a taste unmilitary
and inartistic. On the battlefield,
however, there are no tailors and
Washington tailors are disre
garded.”
Mr. Cl:a< Hands, the corres
pondent of the Daily Mail,writes
from Pampa concerning the Cu
bans.
“The odd thing about it is
that the Americans do not think
very much of these Cubans per
sonally. Perhaps that is because
when we come to look at them,
we are struck by the circum
stances that they are very much
like Spaniards. They wear ele
gant clothes, fitting boots and
the brims of their hats are turn
ed up with such a dandy curl,
mid their thick black mustaches
are twisted up ever so cunning
ly, and on the swarthy faces, as
they look around, there is a
haughty supercilious almost
contemptuous expression. They
are officers of the Cuban insiir
gents and officers of the contin
(’ent of Cuban volunteers which
the American government has
fitted out to accompany the ex
pedition. You would expect them
to be filled v. ilh an enthusiasm
of gratitude towards the Ameri
cans, who are here to
their wrongs, but they do not
show it.”

A HOT FIGHT

FOUR AMERICANS SLAIN
i Spaniards And Guerillas Wore
Beaten Off
Mole St, Nicholas, June 13—
Lieut. Col. W. K. Huntington s
battaihon of irarines, which
lauded from the tram-port
Panther on Friday and camped on
the hill, guarding the abandoned
cable station and to the entrance
to the harbor of Guantanamo,
has been engaged in beating off a
bush attack by Spanish regulars
since 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon. 'lhe fighting was almost
ontinuous for thirteen hours
until 6 o’clock this morning,
when reinforcotr ents were lauded
fre m the Marblehead.
Four of our men were killed
and one wounded.
The advance pickets under
Lieuts. Neville and Shaw are un
accounted for.
Among the killed is Assistant'
Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, son of
Maj. Gibbs ot the regular army,
who fell in the Custer massacre.
His home was at Richmond, V».,
but he has been prac'icing ini
New York and he enterad the
service since the war began. He I
was a v< ry popular officer.
The others killed are: Sergt.
Chas H Smith of Smallwood. ;
Pvt. Wm. Dunphy, of Gloucester,
Mass., and Pvt. James McColgan,
of Stoneham. Mass,
CorpL Glass was accidentally
wounded iai the head.
The Spanish loss is unknown,
but it was probably considerable.
The splashes of blood found at
daylight at the posi ions the
Spaniards occupied indicate
fatali’.iis. but their comrades
carried off the killed and
wounded.
The engagement begun with
desultory firing at the pickets.
Capt. Spicer’s company was doing
guard duty aad was driven in,
finally rallying in the camp and
repulsing ’h« enemy at 5 o’clock.
The bodies of Pvts. McColgan
and Dunphy were found, both
shot in the head The large
cavities caused by the bullets,
which inside a range of 500 yards
hove a rotary mo'ion, indicate
that the victims were killed at
close range.
