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.
