Goantanamo, via Kingston, Juno 18.
However unpleasant the exS'rienco,
the lauding rrf a small detachment of
marines, mostly raw men, in the ene
my's country, has taught some lessons
to the officer and men here, and possi
bly also to the authorities at Washing
ton. It has shown the Spaniards to bo
luring bush fighters, and it has proved
that every American camp must bo
compactly built and as well protected
to resist night attacks as though in the
Apache country. It has developed sev
eral sinnll defects in the navy guns
Under service conditions, und i'. ha
shown that given a free rein with re
peating rifles iVIO nervous troops can
waste 10,000 ronndl of ammunition,
killing shadows, in a single night, uml
not think even then they have done
much shooting.
Though the lti Bpaniardi found by
Lieutenant Neville's men wore regular
uniforms, most of those men in the
daylight attack wore naroely anything
except big plantain leaves bound around
their (oreheadi In lien of hats. This
anted as an effective disguise in the
hush. Others, stripped to a pair of
dirt-colored trousers, tied branches
around their waists, reaching shoulder
high, and moving very cautiously, they
son Id even cross open ground without
Is'ing detected, though some of them
were caught at the game.
Another trick wus to make a moving
screen of two or three bin palm leuves,
almost impossible to detect where
tnntod palm everywhere, rises out of
the cbapparal.
The Cubans were most useful In
pointing out these tricks. There are
no of these men now In camp, mostly
negroes, with Onban officers. They
aio haw keyed woodsmen, breaking
even with tin' Spaniards in every de
vice of busbcraff. The American ma
rines at first were Inclined to discount
this, but this morning they spoko en
thusiastically of their auxiliaries for
their .luring. At night, in skirmish
time, the mariner say tbo Cuban aux
iliaries go through the hush like rab
bits. Their chief fault, however, is
their reckless handling of tho new
magazine rifles.

Tho charges went true, as no reports
were heard n peculiarity of the explo
sion of guncotton in water. Whether
tho destroyers wore demolished is not
known, but tho destructive area of gun
cotton iB large, und it would nut bo
surprising If ono or both torpedo-boats
weio destroyed.
Tbo third chargo exploded with ter
ritio forco on Cuyo Smith. From
where tho fleet lay, tho entranco to the
harbor looked, in tho black night, like
a door opening into tho lire of u titanic
furiiuco. A crater big enough to hold
a church was blown out of tho lido ol
tho Cuyo Smith, uml was clearly aeon
from the ships this morning.
Admiral Sampson issued orders for
tho bombardment lust night. Coffee
wus served to tho men at u:80 this
mornitig, and with tho first blush of
dawn the men were called to quarters.
The ships stoamod ut flvo knotB to a
8,000-yurd range, when they closed up,
broadsido on, until a distance of three
cubles' lengths separated them. They
were strung out In the form of a cres
cent, the heavy fighting ships in the
oenter, the UugFhip on the right and
tho Massachusetts on the left flank.
Tho line remained stationary through
out the bombardment. Tho Vixen and
Scorpion t ok up positions on thu op
posite flanks close Inshore, for tho jrur
lioso of enfilading any infantry that
might fire upon the ships.
When the ships got into position It
was still too duik for any firing. The
admiral signalled tho ships not to lire
