THE FIGHTING
AT SANTIAGO
Arduous Nature of the Campaign
by U. S. Troops Fully
Explained. '
BRAVE GENERAL WHEELER
Refused to Withdraw Though Appealed to
by Officers High in Command One
of the Unwritten Secrets
of the Battle.
Copyrighted 1803 by the Associated Press.
Before Santiago De Cuba, July
14. Probably few European mili
tary critics will appreciate the ardu
ous nature of the campaign so success
fully terminated to-day by the surren
der of all the Spanish forces east of
Santiago and the virtual abandonment
of this province by Spain. The one
Word tells the story roads. The
roads are simply paths, through
the dense tropical growth, paths
along which half a dozen ordinary ox
teams haul lumber and carts once a
day, in comparatively dry weather.
There are no bride-es. and. in wnt
weather, when the streams are raging
torrents, these paths are almost im
passable to men on horseback, abso
lutely so to vehicles of all description.
Thus it was that all these roads along
which the troops were moved bad
really to be built before a single
wagon train could get through. The
brie Iges thrown across the streams,
were repeatedly swept away by
high water. Several times com
munication was almost entirely
interrupted and the army had to fall
back on pack trains. Indeed, the base
of supplies was seriously threatened.
It is a fact that during the four days
before the surrender, it was possible to
Set only one light battery of the six
rought by Gen. Randolph to the
front ; while not a single one of the
siege guns brought by Gen. Shafter
got beyond Siboney.
The Nature of the Country.
There is another vital difference in
the nature of the countrv itself. Over
the fields of operation in the Austro
Prussian . war of 1866 and the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 it was possible,
in almost every engagement, to ma
noeuvre an army corns bv platoons
and battalions. Here the men were
obliged to advance in single file into
the open, and at the famous assault on
San Juan hill, one column marched
out of the road into the open in the
face of the murderous artillery and
rifle fire from the Spanish trenches and
deployed for the charge on open
ground. No finer exhibition of nerve
could be required of a soldier than
that charge across 700 yards of ter
ritory against an enemy entrenched
upon the crest of a hill. But our men
never flinched.
As a matter of fact, it is one of the
unwritten secrets of the battle of July
1st,, that the plans made the night
previous did not contemplate an
assault upon the works of the enemy
before Santiago. Two divisions, those
of General Wheeler and General
Kent, were to remain in column on
me main road to Santiago, to rem
force General Law ton whose
division
the ex
battery was to assault El Caney on
treme right, while Grimes'
made a diversion on the left.
Forced the Fighting.
But when the Spanish guns began
to drop shrapnel shells over the road
on which our column rested, and
when word came that Gen. Law ton
was successful at El Caney, it became
necessary for Wheeler's and Kent's
divisions either to advance, retreat, or
remain quiet under the storm of
shells that was bursting over their
heads. Under these circumstances
it was less dangerous to advance
and charge the enemy's works than to
stay where they were, and with a
general impulse to get where they
could return the enemy's fire the ad
vance regiments, tne Sixth and Six
teenth infantry, moved out. The
others followed. There is a question
whether any specific general command
to charge was ever given. Regimental
and company commanders simply led
their way heroically forward up the
hill. The hill was taken, the Ameri
can flag planted on its crest and the
enemy driven pellmell into his inner
line of entrenchments beyond. The
men were too much exhausted to fol
low up their victory, though it has
since been asserted that had the pur
suit been continued .that afternoon,
the demoralized Spanish would have
surrendered that night.
Wheeler Alone Undismayed.
So terrific had been the slaughter of
our men 90 per cent, of whom were
then under fire for the first time
on the night of July 1, the officers of
high rank, brave soldiers, too, went to
Gen. Wheeler who was in command
at the front (Gen. Shafter being still
aboard his ship), and appealed to him
to withdraw. They predicted an awful
disaster to our arms if we attempted to
hold the position he had earned so
dearly. But the intrepid old cavalry
leader of the Confederacy said. "No."
He snoke reassuring words to those
who came with dire forebodings. "We
are in an uncomfortable position," he
said, "but the Spaniards are more, un
comfortable than we. rass inai wora
down the line." r -
Oflii. Wheeler even sent back a dis
natch to Gen. Shafter. telling him of
the pressure that was being brought
to bear upon him. "I; presume the
same influences are being brought to
hi-AP on vou " he wrote in effect, "but
it will not do. American prestige
would suffer irretrievably if we gave
in an inch. We must be n

actions since the army landed only
seven Cubans, so far as is known, have
been wounded. At El Caney, when

but as a right. - ,

Such information as they do procure

Among the officers there are, indeed,
some noblehearted individuals, not

any idea of military duty.

province of Santiago de Cuba to-day

THE SPANISH
PEACE PROPOSAL.
Considerable Diplomatic Fencing
Before the Point of Stating
Terms is Reached.
REGARDING AN ARMISTICE.
There is Also Likely to be Much
cossion Before an Application
Granted Meantime Military
Operations Will Continue.
Ms
is By Telefrraoh to the Morning Star.
Washington, July 27. The initia
tion of overtures for peace has had the
effect of suspending in a large measure,
for the time beiDg at least,, interest in
the military and naval situation.
Though it is known through the open
admission of members of the adminis
tration that the present peace phase
would remain unchanged until after
another cabinet meeting on Friday,
there was still evinced a disposition to
discuss this matter in its every aspect.
xsaturaiiy me first point of inquiry
was the exact shape taken bv the
Spanish presentation of yesterday.
Curiosity on this point remained un
ratified, and must probably so con
tinue for some days to come, the Presi
dent having decided that nothing
more definite than the statement issued
from the White House yesterday, shall
be given to the public at this time.
The motive is a prudential one. and
the President has even gone so far as
to suggest to the Madrid authorities
the expediency of keeping the text of
Spanish overtures from publication at
this time. The next point of interest
was the character and extent of the de
mand likely to be made by the United
States as the condition of peace.
It is felt that the statement-of terms
of peace, both from Spain and from
the United States, may be some days
off, as there will doubtless be consid
erable diplomatic fencing at the out
set before the actual point of stating
terms is reached. A good deal of this.
for instance, may result from the at
tempt to define the methods of ap
proach to the object sought, whether
through a commission or through the
direct exchange of notes as initiated
yesterday. There will be much dis
cussion in all likelihood also
Regarding an Armistice,
for it is the distinct purpose of the
Spanish authorities to secure a suspen
sion of hostilities pending the nego
tiations for peace. It may be that the
application will be granted, but if so,
it will be under the most effective
safeguarding to prevent the loss of any
advantage to the United States and
upon binding pledges that certain
well denned objects are to be conceded
to us.
The President discussed this com
plex subject all day with various
members of the cabinet as they called
in the course of ordinary business.
Secretary Day and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith spent some time this after
noon at the White House, presumably
exchanging views with the President.
it is virtually admitted by leading
members of the administration that
upon only one point in peace negotia
tions is there likely to be serious fric
tion, and that relates to the future of
the Philippines. As to Cuba and
Porto Rico, our government feels that
that there is a reasonable certainty of
encountering little opposition to our
demands. The Spanish government
might insist upon the proposition
thrown out by the Vatican yesterday,
namely, that the United States shall
annex Cuba, the ostensible purpose
being to secure full protection for the
Spanish element left on the island,
but while this would be a vexatious
point it would yield to adjustment.
As to the Philippines
there is a full expectation of greater
difficulties to be surmounted. There
is reason to believe that these diffi
culties, like the Cuban settlement, will
be rather internal than international
in their character, at least from the
outset. The President is firmly of the
opinion that the United States has no
use for the islands as a permanent
possession. The gravest problems of
government would result were the
attempt made to annex them, owing
to the heterogeneous and ill-favored
character of the large population of the
islands, while any effort to unite with
other powers in a joint administra
tion might be fairly expected to result
as unsatisfactorily as the tripartite
arrangement between Germany, the
United States and Great Britain for
the government of the Samoan group.
However, there are evidences that a
large element in the United States are
of the opinion that the islands should
be acquired by the United States, and
it is hoped by the President that be
fore it comes to the formulation offi
cially of the United States demand,
public sentiment in this country,
through newspaper discussion and
otherwise, will nave so far crystalled
as to enable the government to per
ceive the popular demand clearly. It
may be stated that it is confidently
expected that when the two
ments arrive at the point of
govern
actually
fixing the terms, they will
bund
much closer together than as gener
ally supposed.
Cuba and Porto Rico.
It is felt bydfficials that with diplo
matic formalities out of the way the
actual peace terms would require little
timeior arrangement, and to-day it
Was even suggested that the anomal
ous condition might be presented as
of Spain conceding as much or more
than the United States felt justified in
demanding. There is little reason to
doubt that Spain has made up her
mind to give up Cuba. It is almost
equally certain that Spain recognizes
that she must consent also to the'
abandonment of Porto Rico. With
these two vital points passed, there is
likely to be little delay on the ques
tion of indemnity, as there is every
disposition here not to press with un
due severity on Spain in this respect
About the only reason which would
impel this government to insist upon
an indemnity would be a further stub
born resistance by Spain. Speaking
broadly, the statement was me to-day
by an influential official' a settle

Gen. Miles' Expedition.
Nothing was heard from the Miles
I expedition to-day at the War Depart
! ment, but Captain Higginson, the
! senior officer of the naval convoy for
! warded a brief cablegram that gave
! keen delight to the Navy Department,
j because of the unstinted praise it ac
: corded to a popular and dashing young
; officer, "Dick" Wainwright, the com
mander of the little Gloucester.
I Wainwright, having been commended
i by his superior, Higginson, for his ac
! tlons at Guanica, enloys the solitary
! distinction of being the only officer at
; tached to Sampson s fleet who has been
twice officially commended since the
war began.
The War Department has reconciled
itself to the summary change in , its
plans made by Gen. Miles when he
landed at Guanica instead of on the
northern coast of Porto Rico as
previously agreed upon. It is sur
mised that he was led to make this
change by reason of the detention of
his lighters and saw a week's delay in
effecting a landing unless he went in
where he did and ran his troops and
artillery directly ashore. He has thus
avoided exposing his- troops to the
hardships suffered by Shatter's men
as they lay for so many days off San
tiago. It also suggested that the gen
eral has scored an important diplo
matic advantage in setting foot upon
Porto Rican soil before the first over
tures had been received from Spain
looking toward peace.
Military Operations Will Continue.
The departure of Gen. Brooke and
Gen. Haines from Hampton Roads
which is expected to-morrow, to rein
force Gen. Miles in Porto Rico, is a
very substantial evidence of the pur
pose of the government not to abate
the prosecution of military operations
at this stage of the negotiations. The
two generals are embarked on rapid
liners-and should reach Gen. Miles by
next Monday, putting him in posses
sion of sufficient force to begin the
movement upon San Juan at once.
The second captured battle flag was
received at the War Department with
a briefnote from Gen. Shafter as fol
lows: "Fragment of Spanish flag
captured by the Thirteenth United
States infantry at San Juan, July 1."
Inspector General Breekenridge,
who had been a member of General
Shafter's staff, called at the White
House this afternoon and oersonallv
described to the President the condi
tions existing there when he left July
20th. He spoke particularly of the re
markable enthusiasm displayed by the
United States troops there, and of their
cool and brave conduct under fire. He
also minimized the yellow fever con
ditions and said that the troops had
fully prepared in advance for its ap
pearance.
WILL WELCOME PEACE.
Spain Satisfied if it Can Avoid Paying
Indemnity and Loss of the Philip
pines Sagasta's Protest.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Madrid, July 27. The news that
the government is suing for peace has
caused neither surprise nor sensation
here. The attitude of a majority of
the newspapers shows that the coun
try will welcome peace if it can avoid
the payment of an indemnity and the
loss of the Philippines, where, it is
now taken for granted, the United
States will retain a coaling station
only. A few Carlists, Republican and
Independent papers pretend that
America's demands will not be ac
ceptable.
The King s illness has evoked a uni
versal display of sympathy for the
court, which, at the present critical
moment, may not be without effect on
the nation's future. '
Spain Will Protest
London, July 28. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
"Spain will probably protest against
an attack upon Porto Rico after the
Washington cabinet bad officially re
ceived Spanish overtures for peace.
Should a circular note on this subject
be sent to the powers it will contain
the exact dates of Spanish communi
cations, making it clear that the
United States deferred its answer m
order to be able to date it after the
American forces had gained a footing
in Porto Rico.
"Senor Sagas ta said to-day: 'We
resolved on peace many days ago and
made known our resolutions to the
United States government. I regard
as null and void and as destitute of
good faith everything the Americans
have done since and I am ready to
protest against it formally.' "
Porto Rico Advices.
An official dispatch from Porto
Rico says: "On Tuesday the Amer
icans advanced in the direction of
Tauco, fighting most of the way.
Seven hundred Spanish regulars and
volunteers encountered them and an
engagement ensued which lasted the
whole night and only ceased with
dawn on the following day. The
Americans were obliged to withdraw
to the coast.
Wanted an Armistice.
London, July 28. A special dispatch
from Madrid says it is rumored that the
request of Duke Almodevar De Rio,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, was for an
armistice lasting until Sunday. It
cannot be ascertained whether his
action was spontaneous, in order, if
possible, to forestall the invasion of
Porto Rico and the fall of Manila or
whether it was due to advice from the
Vatican and the powers.
The Cariist Movement.
London, July 28. One of the chief
supporters of Don Carlos, says that
Don Carlos would issue a proclama
tion the moment Spain is committed
to a demand for peace. "All the north
of Spain is eager and ready , " said he.
"We lack neither men nor arms. Don
Carlos will be proclaimed in Catalonia
and the Basque provinces without the
necessity of striking a blow. Then
will come the time for war."
