ROME GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1897 SPANISH ATTACK ON SANTIAGO Cuban Soldiers Try to Outgeneral Their General, Easily Defeat The Spanish. BY THOMAS W. STEEP. Cuban Correspondent Scbipps-Mcßae League. During my sojourn in the camp of General Cebreco it was my good fortune to witness a Light at tack upon an ou'lying portion of Santiago, Ti Arriba is about two days march from Santiago. It had long been the hone of Loth Garcia and Cebreco to fall upon the city from the mountains, and assert the supremacy of the Cubans in the eastern portion of the island. Pettv attacks had been avoided so as not to aggravate .the Spaniards and came them to reinforce their numbers in the ci y. The city had Leen feebly 'gar'i soiled since the rebellion broke out, and the Cubans in the moun tains wore thoroughly advised of ’ts condition. Garcia knew that if he destroyed the town he would but destroy chhe property of his own people : hot he knew, too, that by doing ir he would deal a terrific blow to the Spaniards. The city was. as indeed it still is, defended in part by “volun teers”—cit’zms who are com pelled to receive arms and to keep thfm in th“'r garrets or closets subject to the call of the Span iards. I an: convinced that these “vo unteers” and those of Havana are not lovers of Spain, and also that there are many other silent sympathizers in these cities, who when the crisis shall come, will shout “Cuba Libre 1” TWO DAY'S MARCH. Was Accomplished By Cebreco’s Men In Twenty-four Hoi rs This attack on San'irgo vis mH a g eat success. It was pre mature, the General tod me. it served a useful purl pose. The morning before the attack General Cebreco said to me : “You shall see how the Cubans fight.' He then told me that a certain section of the city, which jutted out into the fields somewhat, had given the Cubans much trouble. The Spaniards located there had repeatedly fired down on the Cu bans while they were stealing cut tie. This section had afforded the Spaniards excellent advantages as a starting place for their frequent excursions into the woods for coffee, cocoa and oranges. This suburb was to be the objective point of the attack. We set march that night s ion after dark. General Cebreco was in command of about 7LO men un(*(-r subordinate officers. We mad- the ordinarily two day’s march in twenty-four hour?, camp ing on the outskirts of Santiago before midnight. The roads were so dark at times that lights were neccessary. They were all blown out before we came near the city. Cebreco held a number of secret conferences with his officers, and about 12 o’clock ordered a party out. This little hand was to verify the reports of others who had spent two or three days in the vi cinity. The men set fire to a rancho four miles to the west to divert the attention of the Spaniards in Santiag •. SPANIARDS WEAKENED Under The Fierce Attack of > The Cuban Soldiers. r . j The decoy had good effect', for I | when Cebreco’s corrmand opened ; tire, there was an ineffective reply J The Spaniards seamed to thin J J that they had been attacked by a r j band of 'marauding Cubanfe re turning from the burning of the j; rancho, who were routing out the I people as thej 7 passed. )i Soon, however, the fight became ,i a laco-to-face one. Tho Spaniards . j were harassed, and the Cuban* j wire elated. ,i The Spaniard were firing at . j random in the darkr.ess, ai.d the j Cubans were taking deliberate aim. j-1 This is the case in nearly every j fight, ’lhe Cubans will not attack II unless they can hide in darkness ,| or behind bushes. Thev take the . 'enemy unaware, a.d tl’ey aim to .(kill. They accomplish their pur ,l pose generally. There is little of military tac- I tics in th#* Cuban army. Every man tries to outgeneral the Gen . eral. The Cuban fights bravely, , and often dies for overbravery. To say that the attack was a smart surprise for the Spaniards, , is putting it mildly. The garrison in the town at length weakened in its resistance. Two hours after the attack began the Spaniards , had apparently had apparent'y evacuated the quarter. At this i Cebreco ceased firing and with drew. His killed were four men. The Spaniards carried away their dead. Another convoy never at tempted to invade the interror from that quarter. BURNED ALIVE IN RUSSIA St. Peter-burg, May 29 —The Belf-immolatiuu ot fanatical fol lowers of Raskoluiki continues.
