HOW THEY LfIHOED
ft Detachment of the Uth In-j
faulty The First
NOT ft LIFE WftS LOST
Met by Cuban Escort and con
< i.cit d to Ce imp.
Daiquiri, June 23—At 9 o'clock,
yesterday the hour supposed to
have been fix*d for commencing
the disembarkation, came, and
passed, the expedition was in sus
pense, but the squadron lay reck
ing complacently outside the bay.
At 9:15 a. in. the bombardment
of the hills surrounding the village
of Juraga. some six miles away,
began to distract our attention
from our own affairs.
Then steam pinnaces, trailing
strings of empty boats began j
speeding to and fro among ‘he I
transportsand gradually, though
perceptibly filling up with iriops.
At 9;40 Cuban scouts appeared
Wu a t of Daiquiri and the New
Orleans, Machias,Detroit,Suwanee
and Wasp began bombarding.
Forty-fl ye rounds were fired into
the bush during the first quarter
of an hour, and many rounds from |
the quick-firing guns Not a shot
was fired in response. At 9:50 the
first boat load containing the men
of the Sth and Ist Inst. start'd
for the shore, followed by the 25th ,
(colored,) the 10th and 12th Inst. |
at 10:10
Prodigious cheering from shore,
caught up by the nearest ships
and flying from vessel to vessel
through the squadron, announced
the fact that the Americans had
begun a lauding on Cuban soil,
the honor of setting the first foot
<?n the island falling to a detach
ment of ti e Blh Infantry that
was towed ashore by the tug
Warn pat uck.
This important operation thus
successfully completed without
loss of life or accident, the troops
on land formed and moved up
and away to the quarters with-’
out confusion. A force of mount- j
ed Cubans, which had been un-|
der cover during the bombard
ment, now arrived and congrat
ulations were exchanged.
At 11:30 a detachment of the
2nd Mass. Vol started for the
shore and by noon probably 3,-
000 men had landed. Other de
tachments were following as
rapidly as steam launches could
be made available. The sea was
auspiciously calm and the sky
clear.
A cool breeze was blowing and
the troops were in the highest spir- [
its, and the strains of “Yankee
Doodle” were greeting every string
of boats coming.
LANDING AT JURAGUA
Oil Juaragua, Province of San*
tiago De Cuba. June 23 —The
troops under Maj.-Gen. Shatter i
yesterday morning began landing!
at Juaragna. ten miles east of the
entrance to Santiago harbor. Lit
tle resistance was offered. Au im
mediate advance will be made ai d
as tha military forces arsin posses
sion of the hills back of Santiago,
a combined attack by the fl?et and
army will I eordered. It is thought
by Saturday Smtiago with all its
fortifications and the strong tliet
under Admiral Cervera will have
fallen either captured or destroyed.
