THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL
‘'YANKEE PIGS”
'Root The Spaniards Oilt of
Their Camp. .
KILLING MANY FIGHTERS.
Cubaus Said to Have Fought
Bravely.
The following news from
Guantanamo Bay under date of
Tuesday night, has been receiv
ed :
The United States marines,
under Lieutenant Robert W.
Huntington, adopted their first
aggressive movement against
the Spanish gueirillas today and
completely routed the enemy.
The force of marines was un
der Capt. Elliott, and the co-cp
erating Cubans were under Col.
Laborda. The combined forces
razed a Spanish camp about five
miles from the American posi
tion, destroying the only well
in the vicinity and killing about
40 Spaniards. One American ma
rine was slightly wounded Two
Cubans were killed and four
wounded.
It is impossible to estimate the
number of Spaniards engaged,
owing to their guerrilla methods
of fighting, but it is believed
there were at least four hundred.
The marines behaved splendid
ly, their marksmanship being
excellent under the severe fire
of the enemy.
The captured camp lies about
five miles southeast of the rifle
pits of the marines, and was an
important base for the enemy,
as it contained the only well
within six or seven miles.
Lieutenant Col. Huntington
decided on the attact early iu the
day, at about 8 o’clock the force
started across the mountains. The
march up and down the steep hil 1 -
sides, under the glairing tropical
sun. was a severe test of endur
ance for the marines, and before
tiebbttle ground was reached
twenty-two men had received med
ical attention. All were alle,
however, to reach the position be*
fore the fighting cease.
The Marines wero compelled to
march in single file, following
the mountain trail, Meairwuile the
Cubans darted backward and for
ward, to right and left on the
scout. It was neon when from a
hill top, the Americans caught
sight of the Spanish camp lying
on a ridge below them. It con
sisted of one large house, the
officers’ quarte.s, surrounded by
numerous shacks and houses, all
clustering about the precious well.
The Americans succeeded in
getting within 200 yards of the
Spaniards before being dis
covered. A spirited engage
ment ensued with the Americans
steadily advancing. Finally as
the allies were preparing to
make a charge the Spaniards
were discovered to be fleeing in
small parties across an open
space to the woods 100 yards
As they crossed this open
zone fleeing for their lives and
running zig-zag to distract the
aim of the Americans, many of
them were seen to fall. The
Victory was complete and cost
the victors t.ie lives of two Cu
bans and four wounded.
The victory put the command
in high spirits.

Io the San Dominican Rebel
lion in Hayti.
j PRESIDENT HnUREAUX
Is Said to Have Fled From His
Stronghold.
Port-au-Prince, Hayti, June
16.—The San Dominican rebels,
led by Lien. Jiminez and Senor
Moral es, who, at the outbreak
of the revolution, were classed
by President Ulyssess Heureau
as bandits, virtually have won
their fight.
This became knov. n here lasi
night, when the Dominican
gunboat Independencia steamed
into port, with Commodore Jan
sen on the quarterdeck. The
warship was full of soldiers who
are yet loyal to the government.
They reported the greatest ex
citemeut in all parts of the coun
try, and that Monte Christi is
ablaze for the revolutionists. It
is known that President Hen
reaux has had to fly from hi?
capitol, and, it is said, he is on
bond the Independencia.
Commodore Jansen will not
admit this; neither will he deny
it. I have it from several on
board, who claim to have seen
the President embark before
dawn yesterday.
I tried to get on board the
warship, but was stopped by
soldiers, who barred the gang
plank with sword and bayonets
No one is allowed to approach
the ship, which will probably
sail during the night. It is ex
pected that Heureaux will find
an asylum in France. From
members of the crew I learn
that Gen. Jiminez has been sent
for, and will shortly present
himself at Inagua, and that he
will take charge of government
al affairs.
A little more than a fortnight
ago the President caused his
War Minister am the governor
of Macoris Province to be shot
for conspiracy.
Gen. Castillo, the War Minis
ter, was appointed by the presi
dent, and had been his friend.
The re election of Houreaux to
the Presidency led Castillo an' 1
Gen. Estay, the governor of
Macoris, to embark in a politi
cal enterprise of their own.
From the shooting of Castillo
and Gen. Estay the revolution
grew until Heureaux has been
overthrown.
riors waved their machetes an I
how’ed curses at the Spanish iu
savage fashion. Their firing had
been wild throughout, but they
•all displayed the utmost con
tempt for the Spanish bullets,
apparently being without fear.
