    JACK CUDAHY'S PLUCKY FIGHT.
NEARLY THE LAST.
I the
-l-hft(
February, 1S93, both branches of
the Spanish Cortes in which. Cuba
had forty-three representatives unan
imously passed a bill brought forwhtd by1
Senor Abaruza, a Cuban, to-establish in,
Cuba a liberal regime which should virtu
ally confer autonomy, ox borne rule,' ;This
wns in response to "the demands of 'the
autonomist Cuban members of the Cortes. '
Ten day after the enactment of the re
form law an insurroctien was 'begun;, in
the provjnee of Santiago. 'Their 'purpose,.
It has been stated, was to prevent the suc
cess of a reform which would content the
people and render them indifferent to, the
idea of Cuba libre, ' ?'"-.
A repjiblic was proclaimed and Cue
bitas was made the capital, but the civil
government was imaginary. The chief
command and entire local government
was In the hands of Gen. Gomez.. He,
with Ma'eeo and'others,- gradually extend
ed the rebel operations over the whole
island, destroying everything"' outside1 the
towns. Stealing in small bands through
the bush and traveling by night, ; they
eluded the Sianish troops and burned and
plundered everywhere, driving the rustics
into the already congested towns. To pre
vent the rebels from living off the rustics
the' Spanish forbade agriculture In ex
posed districts, thus also adding to the
congestion of population in the towns.
The wretchedness of the reconcentrados,
Imputed to Gen. Weyler, became the chief
burden of the cry of . inhumanity raised
against Spanish rule.
By cutting the island into several isolat
ed sections by means of trochas and' by
. following up the rebel bands pertinacious
ly In the restricted areas Gen. Weyler had
at length by December, 1897, virtually
freed the island from all ravages except
in the two easternmost provinces, where
a desolate mountain country gave the in
surgtntB Impenetrable retreats. The na
ture of the jungle was such that the com
plete extinction of the rebel bands in San
tiago was Impracticable so loug as they
received supplies and encouragement from
abroad. Their operations were on a small
scale and unimportant except so far as
the existence of their movement even on
a email scale afforded a basis for the
growing disposition at Washington to in
terfere to exclude Spain from her pos
lessions In the West Indies.
In December, 1800, Congress signified
tts purpose to recognize Cuba libro until
Secretary OIney, instructed by Mr. Cleve
land, let it be known that in the Presi
dent's view recognition wag an executive
function exclusively and action by Con
gress would be Ignored. Mr. Cleveland's
position, as Indicated by his representa
tions at Madrid, was that the plan of au
tonomy embodied In the Abaruza law of
18IJ5 and much broadened in the decree
of February, 1897, Bhnuld be given a trial
and the United States would not inter
fere until it was shown by experience that
the new homo rule scheme was a sham
ind failure.
With the beginning of the McKlnley ad
ministration a less patient policy was fav
ored and the Idea of getting Spain to with
draw from Cuba by friendly Insistance
was entertolued. Congressmen who wish
ed to recognize Cuba's Independence were
at once advised that such result could be
attained in a better way. Recognition
waa staved off. Meanwhile Spain was
asked to make various concessions, as re
spects the removal of Weyler, the reoon
centradoB and an armistice, etc. All were
granted. The hope was entertained that
with Blanco favoring conciliation, the re
concentrados provided for and pence otter
ed the rebels, a way would be found for
giving Culm a government as free as that
of Canada. The retention of a nominal
sovereignty waa now at length all that
Spain aBked. It was resolved not to con
Cede this and on April 11, 1808, President
McKlnley BBked Congress to authorize
him to Interfere in Culm with force. Con
gress assented on the 10th and an ulti
matum was sent to Spain demanding the
tvncuatlon of Cuba.
Destruction of the Maine.
Hostilities were precipitated by the sink
ing of the battleship Maine In the harbor
of Havana In February. The vessel sank
after an explosion, the cause of which has
bot been ascertained. It U not known
whether It was the work of a Spanish fan
atic, animated by Wind hatred of the
United States, or of a Cuban patriot anx
ious to embroil Spain and Cuba. The ex
plosion of the Maine, whatever the cause,
tired popular resentment agalnBt Spain.
There was a loud demand for revenge,
and "Kcmember the MalneP became a
popular cry.
ljung before the declaration of war our
warships were aaeeuiUcd in large num
bers at Key West, near Havana. War
existed before the formal declaration on
April 25, and the congressional resolu
tion took cognisance of the situation by
Stating that hostilities dated from Aorll
21. On that day the Buena Ventura, a
Spanish ship, was cptured by the gun
boat Nashville, Lieut. Wushbuni com
mander, and on the same day President
McKlnley ordered the North Atlantic
squadron nnder Admiral Sampson to sail
from Key West to tnangnrate the Cuban
blockade. The fleet loft the harbor the
following day. On April 23 President
McKlnley called for 125,000 volunteers,
and ordered Commodore Dewey at Hong
Kong to "find and destroy the Spaulsh
Boot."
Spain declared war on April 24, the day
which saw Dewey's fleet weigh anchor
and steam away for Manila bay. On
April 20 militia camps were formed in
Dearly every State of the Union.
Matansut was bombarded on April 27

the Cincinnati and the Puritan. Great
damage was done the fortifications. Clea

on that day, also, Admiral Cervera be

; On Sunday, May 1, the .first great sea
battle of the war was fought Commo
dore George Dewey made himself Bear
Admiral Dewey and won undying glory
for the American navy by leading his fleet
into the mined harbor of Manila and, un
der the guns of the fort on Corregidor
Island and the heavy fortifications defend
ing the arsenal and navy yard, destroying
the entire Asiatic fleet of Spain. The
Olympia was his flagship, and his remain
ing vessels were the Baltimore, the Bos
ton and the Balcigh, protected cruisers;
the Concord and Petrol, gunboats and
the McCulloch, dispatch boat With this
force, equal but not superior to armament
to the Spanish fleet, far inferior when the
land batteries are counted, be Bunk, burn
ed or blew up eight Spanish cruisers, six
gunboats and three transports.
The sea victory was followed by an at
tack on the land fortifications, which
were razed. The arsenal at Cavite was
also captured, and before noon his guns
commanded the city of Manila. In the
engagement not one American life was
lost, while In killed and drowned the Spaa
iRh loss has been placed between 000 and
000.
Ifl the first week In May tbe definite di
vision of the ships of the American navy
In Atlantic and Cuban waters Into squad'
tons and fleets was made. The flying
squadron, uommooore ochiey in com
mand, was formed at Hampton Roads,
the vessels being the Brooklyn, flag'
ship; the Massachusetts, the Texas, the
Columbia and tbe Minneapolis. Admiral
Sampson In the blockade line at Havana
bad with him besides bis- flagship, the
New lork, the battleships Iowa and In
diana, the cruisers Cincinnati and Mor
blehead, and a dozen torpedo croft and
gunboats. Matanzas waa bombarded for
a second time May 7.
The first American casualties of the war
were on the torpedo boat Wraslow, off
Cardenas harbor. The killed were En
sign Worth Bngley and five seamen. The
Wlnslow attacked three Spanish gun
boats and the shore fortifications, and In
disregard of peril the boat was ran too
far Inshore. It was crippled by the fire
and the men were killed before other
boats could come to its assistance. The
Spanish gunboats were disabled by the
re-enforcements end the batteries si
lenced. 1
Admiral Sampson appeared before San
Juan, Porto Rico, on May 12, and bom
barded the forts for three hours. Morro
was partially reduced. - Sampson was InJ
search of Cervera s fleet, known by this
time to have left the Cape Verde Islands
and to be well on the way to Cuban wat
ers for Its famous game of hide-and-seek,
and he made no pronounced effort to re
duce the fortifications. One American
was killed In the attack, while the Span'
Ish loss was heavy.
On the following day the flying squad
ron put to sea to aid In finding Cervera,
who was reported then to be at Curaeoo,
off Venexuela. The two fleets cut off Cer
vera, from Havana and on May 18 it was
reported that the Spanish admiral had
taken refuge in Santiago hay.
Fchlcy Traps Cervera.
Commodore Schley, with the flying
squadron, reached Santiago before Ad
miral Sampson, and it Is known now the
arrival was Just In time to prevent a dash
by Cervera for Cieufuegos or Havana.
The presence of Cervera In the bottle waa
known to a certainty tn a few day
through the during trip of Lieut Victor
Blue, who made a circuit of the bay, even
entering Santiago. Admiral Sampson ar
rived, and the combined fleets began their
long wait for their prey.
Tbe Invasion of the army to co-operate
with the fleet at Santiago was planned as
soon ss invent s wnereabouts was
known. President McKlnley issued
second call for 75,000 voluuteers on May
25, The demand was Instantly met by
the men who had failed to secure a place
on the first call. The first expedition to
re-enforce Dewey at Manila sailed alae
May 25. It numbered 6.000 men.
Dally bombardments of the forts at the
entrance of Santiago bay continued.
Though Cervera was bottled, it was
feared that a storm might scatter the
blockading fleet and give him a chance to
escape from his harbor prison. Accord
ingly it was concluded to sink a vessel in
the narrow channel between Moxro Cas
tle and the Estrella battery. . An Iron col
lier, the Merrimac, was selected, and the
perilous worn of destruction was assigned
to wavai constructor Uicnmond P. Hob
son and a volunteer crew of seven men.
in tne early morning of June 3 the ves
sel was guided hito the channel nnder a
temnc tire from tne Spanish guns. One
shot disabled its rudder and rendered it
nearly uncontrollable. It was driven by
its engines, however, into the narrowest
part of the channel, and the attempt was

trance. I he force Of the current Drevent
ed success, as was shown by the passage

later day, but failure did not detract from
the bravery of the exploit Hobson fired
the torpedos which blew out the bottom
of the ship, and, with his crew, took to a
boat, surrendering In an hour to the Span
ish admiral, who complimented him for
his bravery, and sent a message to Samp
son telling of his safety and that of his
men.
The order was given June 8 to Drenare
a landing place for the army of Invasion,
and on June 10 Col. Huntington, with a
force of marines landed at Guantanamo,

Spain made its direct appeal for pence

but suggested no terms. On July 27 the
public learned of the outbreak of, yellow
fever In the camp before Santiago, and
on that day Ponce surrendered to Gen.

of peace to Spain on July 20. j
The second battle of Manila was fought
on July 31, on a Sunday, as was the first.
It was a land attack under cover of dark
