1 Washington, D. c.,.Sept. 15.—An im-
. portant move has been made by the‘
war department toward the formation
the Cuban army of occupation. Or-
{e‘rs were iss‘ued directing the remo-
al from Camp ‘W'ikoff of all the reg-
ar troops now stationed there and

‘ving Camp Wikoif. They will
sit ell-:23 in camp at Anniston and

gy , until the military commission ar-
nges for the evacuation of Cuba.
l’it is also stated that the department
intends to recall some of the regulars
11‘9w at army posts and use them for
rrison (hity in Cuba and Porto Rico.
gthis is done, the volunteer regiments
QL.be assigned to duty at the various
a risons in this country.
he department has decided to send
as few volunteers as possible to Cuba,
the regulars having been slated for
t e bulk of this work. Some of the
volunteers will share in it, however,
but it is the policy. of the department
to depend mainly on the regulars.
It is likely that when the Porto Ri-
can army is organized it-will be found
that the volunteers are in the majority
in this force. The work in that island
will—g not be as arduous or as exacting
as in Cuba, and for this reason the de-
partment will utilize the regulars most-
ly for duty in Cuba and the volunteers
in Porto Rico.

Filipinos Yield to Otis.
Manila, Sept 15. —The insurgents are
complyin with the demands made by
General tis for the withdrawal of the
Filipinos from the city and in other
matters, and it is safe to say that trou-
ble has been averted. General Otis 'has
fixed to- day as the day for the evacua-
tion of the insurgents.
At first some of the Filipino leaders
were strongly inclined to resist, but
others who were largely influential
were extremely anxious to avoid a con-
filct.
The ultimatum cf General Otis was
delivered to the Filipinos last Friday.

This, the dispatch says, is one of
several steps to be taken in view of
the extension of German trade in the
Philippines.
Manila Suburbs Evacuated.
Manila, Sept. 15.—The insurgents ev-
acuated the suburbs of Manila yester-
day. They did so in a grand march
in which nearly-three thousand men
took part. Rifles were carried, colors
were waved, bands played and the men
shouted “Viva AmericanoS” and “Viva
Fillipinos Libres.” '
The merchants here expect heavy
losses if a new tariff is enforced at an
._ early date because their present stocks
valued roughly at $5,000,000, have paid
the highest duties.
129 Rioters Arrested.

Washington, Sept. 15.—The report of
Major General Shafter on the Santiago
campaign has just ‘been given .to 'the
press. The expedition under his com-
mand, he says, sailed from Tampa'with
815 officers and 16,072 enlisted men.
'His orders were given by telegraph
May 30 and were as follows:
“Admiral Schley reports that two
cruisers and two torpedo boats have
been seen in the harbor of Santiago.
Go with your force to capture garri-
son at Santiago, and assist in captur-
ing harbor and fleet.”
Disembarkation proved to be slow
and embarrassing work. _
On the morning of June 20 we arriv-
ed off Guantanamo bay and about noon '
reached the vicinity of Santiago, where
Admiral Sampson came on board my,
headquarters transport. it was arran-
ged between us to visit in the after-
noon the Cuban general (Garcia), at
Aserraderos, about eighteen miles to
the west of the Morros During the in-
terview General Garcia offered the ser-
vices of his troops, comprising about
four thousand men in the vicinity of
Asserraderos, and about five hundred
under General Castillo at the little
town of Cujababo, a few miles east
of Daiquiri. I accepted his offer, im-
pressing it upon him that I could ex—
ercise no military control over him
except such as he would concede, and
as long as he served under‘ me I would
furnish him rations and ammunition.
Ever since the receipt of _my orders
I had made a study of the country
surrounding Santiago, gathering infor-
mation mainly from former residents
of the city, several'of whom were on
transports with me. At this interview
all the possible points of attack were
for the last time carefully weighed and
then, for the information and guid-
ance of Admiral Sampson and General
Garcia, I outlined'the plan of campaign,
which was as follows:
4 _..,1;.A.__ .
GENERAL SHAFTER.
With the assistance of the small
; boats of the navy, the disembarkation
was to commence on the morning of
On the 21st 500
insurgent troops were to be transfer-
red from Aserraderos to Cujababo, in-
creasing the force already there tot one
thousand men. This force, under Gen-
eral Castillo, was to attack the Span-
ish force at Daiquiri, in the rear at the
time of disembarkation. This move-
ment was successfully made. To mis-
lead the enemy as to the real-point of
our intended landing, I requested Gen- I
’ eral Garcia to send a small force (about
500 men) under General Rabi, to attack
the little town of Cab'anis, situated on
the coast a few miles to the west of
the entrance to Santiago harbor, and
where ‘it was reported the enemy had
several men entrenched, and from
which a trail leads around the west
side of the bay to Santiago.
I also requested Admiral Sampson
' to send several of his warships with
'a number of my transports opposite
this town for the purpose of making a
show of disembarking there.
-In addition I asked the admiral to
cause a bombardment to be made at
Cabanis and also at the forts around
= the Morro and at the towns of Aguar-
dores, Siboney and Daiquiri. The troops
of General Garcia remaining at Aser-
raderos were to be transferred to Dai-
quiri or Siboney on the 24th. This was
successfully accomplished at Siboney.
These movements committed me to
approach Santiago from the east over
a narrow road, at first in some places
not better than a trail, running from
Daiquiri through Siboney and Sevilla,
and making attack from that quarter.
This, in my judgment, -was the only
feasible plan, and subsequent informa-
tion and results confirmed my judg—
’ ment.
eneral - Lawton’s ad-
boney and the disem--
barkation of Kent’ 3 division on that
date enabled Shatter to establish a base
eight miles nearer Santiago and to pro-
ceed with disembarkation at both these
points. Simfter continues with the de—
tails. of movements up to the battle
of ElCaney, on July 1, concerning which
he says:
These preparations were far from
what I desired them to be, but We were
in a sickly climate; our supplies had to
be brought forward by a narrow wagon
road, which the rains might at any
time render impassable: fear was; en-
tertained that a storm might drive the
vessels containing our stores to sea,
On the 23rd
9 thus separating usfirom our base of
f supplies, and,
lastly, it was reported
that General Pando, with eight thou—
sand reinforcements for the enemy, was
en route from Manzanillo, and might
be expected in a few days.
Under these conditions I determined
to give battle without delay.
The disposition of the. ‘several bod-
ies of troops is given, their formation
under _fire (in which Colonel Wikofi’.
was killed) and the results of their
movements are set forth in detail and
General Shafteradds:
_“After completing their formation
under a destructive fire, and advancing
a. short distance, both divisions (Kent’s
and Hawkins’s) found in their front a.
wide bottom, in which had been placed
a barbed wire entanglement, and be-
yond which there was a high hill, along
the crest of which the enemy was
strongly posted. Nothing daunted,
these gallant men pushed on to drive
the enemy from ‘his chosen position,
both divisionSolosing heavily. In this
assault Colonel Hamilton, Lieutenants
Smith and Shipp were killed, and Colo-'
ne} Carroll, Lieutenants Thayer and
Myer, all in the cavalry, were woun-
ded.
“Great credit is due to Brigadier Gen-
eral H. S. Hawkins, who, placing him,-
self betweenvhis regiments, urged. them
on by voice and bugle calls to the at-
tack so brilliantly executed.
“In this fierce encounter words fail
to do justice to the gallant regimental
commanders and their heroic men, for.
while the general indicated the forma-
tions and the points of attack, it was.
after all, the intrepid bravery of the
subordinate officers and men that plan-
ted our colors on the crest of San Juan
hill and drove the enemy from his
trenches and blockhouses, thus gain-
Santiago.
“In this action, on this part of the
field, most efficient service ’Was render-
ed by Lieutenant John H. Parker, 13th
infantry, and the Gatling gun detach-
ment under his command.
“The fighting continued at intervals
until nightfall, but our men held reso-
lutely to the position gained at the
cost of so much blood and toil.
“I am greatly indebted to General
Wheeler, who, {as previously stated, re-
turned from the sick list during the af-
ternoon. His cheerfulness and aggres-
siveness made itself felt on this part
of battlefield, and the information
furnished to me at various stages of,
the battle proved to be mostuuseful.
“My own health was impaired by
over exertiOn in the sun and the in-
tense heat of the day before, which
prevented me from participating as ac-
tively in the battle as I desired, but,
from a high hill near my headquarters
I had a' general view of the battlefield
extending from El Caney on the right
If the left of our lines on San Juan
ill.
“My staff ofiicers were stationed at
various points on the field, rendering
frequent reports; through them by the
means of orderlies and the telephone
I was enabled to transmit my orders.
“During the afternoon I visited the
position of Grimes’s battery on the
heights of El Poso, and saw_ Sumner
and Kent in firm possession 0 San
Juan hill, which I direc ed should be
intrenched during the n ght.
“My regular ofiicer, Lieutenant Colo-
nel Derby, collected and sent forward
the necessary tools, and during the
night trenches of very considerable
strength were constructed.”
. The' cessation of firing at noon, July
3, practically ended the battle of San-
tiago. General Shafter says it is doubt-
ful if he had more than 12, 000 men on
the firing line on July 1, when the
battle was fiercest, and when the im-
pertant and strong positions of El ca-
ney and San Juan were captured. He
continugs:
“A few Cubans assisted in the attack
at El Caney, and fought valiantly, but
their numbers were too small to ma-
terially change the strength’ as indicat-
ed above. The enemy confronted us
with numbers about equal to our own;
they fought obstinately in strong and
intrenched positions, and the results
.1 obtained clearly indicate the intrepid
gallantry of the company officers and
men, and the benefits derived from the
careful training and instruction given
in the company in recent years in rifle
practice and other battle exercises. Our
losses in these battles were 22 ofilcers
and 208 men killed and 81 office-rs and
1,203 men wounded; missing, 79. The
missing, with few exceptions, reported
later.”
tory was transmitted under flag of
truce to the Spanish commander in
“Santiago on July 4, and the suggestion
again made that he surrender to save
needless effusion of blood.
“0n the same date I informed Admi-
ral Sampson that if he would force his
way into the harbor the city would
surrender without any further sacrifice
of life.
“Commodore Watson replied that Ad-
miral Sampson was temporarily ab—
sent, but that in his (Watson’s) opin-
ion the navy should not enter the har-
bor.”
The history of the negotiations with
General Toral for the surrender of
Santiago is given, with the facts of
the renewal of firing on the 4th and
11th instants.
The only mention General Shafter
makes 'of General Miles occurs in the
narration of the preliminaries to the
surrender of Santiago. He says:
“July 12 I informed the Spanish
commander that Major General Miles,
commander-in-chief of the American
army, had just arrived in my camp,
and requested .him to grant us a per-
sonal interview on the following day.
He replied that he would be pleased
to meet us. The interview took place
on the 13th and I informed him his sur-
render only 12611111 be considered, and
that as he was-without hope of escape
he had no right to continue the con-
test.”
