The disembarkation of the American
troops composing the second expedition
is being pushed with the utmost energy.
Tiie Colorado regiment is alrea«ly in
the field, near Paranque, and others
will be transferred without loss of time.
The Uniteil States cruiser Boston has
been detailed to cover the landing par­

The brigade commanded by General

arrived at Honolulu June 24, ami left

General Anderson is senior army offi­

desires that kind ot cavalry animals.

Santiago de Cuba, July 26.— It now
turns out that tho letter alleged to
have been addressed by General Garcia
to General Shafter, complaining of the
treatment accorded to the Cubans, and
advising General Shafter of General

of General Garcia. It is not clear that
Garcia ever saw the letter.

complete destruction. Tiie course of
the Olympia's 8-im h stiells cau be
clearly trac«*1 by the line of ruin ex­
tending from stern to waist. There
are very few large shot holes through
the liull, the principal ones l>eing from
six-inch shell amidships and from four-
inch shells. Tiie cruiser Ca-tillo is
less burned but teirildy wrecked.
There are plain traces where six big
shells tore in,nienes holes in thew oaleu
hull. When the tire starteil, tiie weight
of guns caved the hull inwards. The
warship is now a mass of twisted iron
ami charred beams—a very bad wreck,
resembling that of the Maine in ap­
pearance. Three large shells entered
the Don Antonio de Ulloa amidships,
but the vessel did not burn. She
sank quickly, ridiiled by shells of ull
sizes. The greatest havoc was done by
six-inch shells.

Playa del Esto, July 23.—The follow-
ing is the official account of the latest
naval victory—that at Manzanillo,
modestly told by Commander Todd, of
the gunboat Wilmington, in hia report
to Admiral Sampson:
“ At 7 o ’clock on tfie morning of July
18, the vessels on the blockade in this
vicinity, the Wasp, Helena, Scorpion,
Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck, Osceola, ap­
proached the harbor of Manzanillo
from the westward. A t 7:30 the W il­
mington am) Helena entered the north­
ern channel toward the city, the Scor­
pion and Osceola, the mid-channel, an«l
the Hist, Hornet and Wampatuck tiie
south channel, the movements of these
vessels lieing so timed as to bring them
witliin effective range of the shipping
at aliout the same moment. At 7:50
the fire was o,«ened on the shipping,
ami after a deliberate fire, lasting abont
two ami a half hours, three Spanish
transports, El Oloria, Jose Garcia and
La Purisiuia Concepcion, were hurri«*d
and destroyed. The Pontoon, which
was tho harisir guard and etoiesliip,
probably for ammunition was bum«*)
ami blown up. Three gunboats were
destroyed.
One other was driven
astiore and sunk, and a third was driven
ashore, and is believed to have been
disabled.
“ The fire was maintained at a range
which is believed to be beyond the
tange of tiie shore artillery. It was
continue«! until after a gradual closing
in, the shore batteries open«*! fire at a
comparative short range, when the
ships w«’re recall«*!, the object of tiie
expislition having been acooinplished
au>) the ideas of the oonirnander-iu-
ciiief cauied out as I un«lerstool them,
tiiat is, to destroy the enetnv’s shipping,
but not to engage the field batteries of
the forts.
“ No casualties occurred on board anv
of our vessels. Great care was taken
in directing the fire tiiat as little «lam-
age as possible should be done to the
city itself, and so far as could be ob­
served, little, if any, was done. The
S[«anish loss is M ieved to have t een in
tiie neighborhood of 100 killed. Tiie
gunboats destroyed or driven ashore
were tiie Delgado, Guantanamo, Os-
tralla, Continola and Guardian.”
ashington, July 20.—Tiie naval war
6oard to«lay held a conference with the
president, arranging the final details
regarding Watson’s cruise.
Secretary Long said that no appre­
hension whatever existed over the
Spanish threat that the Camara squad­
ron wood be divided, part of the eliips
coming to tiiis side to attack seaport
cities. This is looked upon as a sheer
bluff, and it w ill not have the effect of
changing tiie navy plans or of with­
drawing any ships for patrol seivice on
the Atlantic coast. Should the Span­
ish threat be made good, ships more
than a match for any of Camera’s ves­
sels would be available at any Atlantic
port on short notice.

o’clock, the hour of the surrender of

was lowered from XJorro castle.
Tliie afternoon, the torpedoes were
taken np or exploded, after whioh the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas en­
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded. Tiie warships may not enter
the harbor for several days, probably
not until the arrangements have been

prisoners to Spain. Nearly all the
American warships are now in Guan­
