counts tho organization of tho oxpl-
dlllon ami Its embarkation and then
devotes tho mnln body of tho report
to the artlve opurutions about Santi-

General Shuftor says the expedi-
tion was undurtakuii In compllunce
with the telegraphic Instructions
from hondrpuivtors of the army In
which It wns stated:
Admiral Schley reports that two
cruisers and two torpedo boats have

After reciting tho delay at Tampa
due to Inadequate facilities Gen Shut-
ter says that on June 7 he received
orders to sail without delay but not
with Ips limn 10000 men The cxpe-
dltiou sailed on June II with SIS of-
fice and 16.072 man Oen. Shafter
brelfly covers the trip and landing and
his first meeting with Gen. Garcia ad-
ding: "During the interview Urn. Garcia
offered the services ot his troops com-
prising about 1000 mon In the Vicin-
ity of Asserrnderos and about 5000
under Gen. Castillo at the llttlo town
of Cugababo a few miles east of Dai-
quiri. I acepted his offer Impressing
It upon him that 1 could exercise no
military control over him except such
as he would concede and as long as
he served under me 1 would furnish
him rations and ammunition."
After confeiintr with Admiral Hiirnn-'
son and Gen Garcia the plan of cam-
paign w-ns outlined by Gen. Shatter.
Gen. Shafter says:
"These novemeiits committed mo to
approaching Santiago from the east
over a narrow rind at first In some
places not better than u trail running
from Bahiulre through Slbonoy and
Sovllla and malting attack from that
quarter. This In my Judgment was
tho only feasible plan and subsequent
Information and results confirmed my
Judgment."
Of the early operations and skirm-
ish in -which the Hough Itidors partlC
Ipated he said:
"Gen. Youngs brigade passed be-
yond Lawton on tho night of the
23rd and 2Hh thus taking tho ad-
vance and onthe morning of tho lat-

gallantry.
Gen. Shatter explained at a meeting
of generals his plan of battle which
folows!
"Lawton's division assisted by Cap-
ron's light battery was oruereu to
move out during the aflernoo.i to-
ward El Cancy to begin the attack
there early the next morlng. Atie-
earring El Cnney Lawton wns to move
by the Cancy road totrard Santiago
and take position on the right of the
line. Wheeler's division if dismounted
caniry and Kent's division ot In-
fantry were directed on the Santiago
the head of the column resting near
CI Tostl toward which heights. Gri
me's battery moved on the afternoon
of the 30th with orders to take posi-
tion there early and at the proper
time prepare the way for Wheeler and
Kent on San Juan hill. The attack
at this point was to be delayed until
Lawton's guns Were heard ut EI Cnn-
ey and his lnfauty lire showed that
he had become well engaged.
It was reported that Gen. I'nndo with
8000 reforccments for the 'enemy was
en route for Manxanlllo and might bo
expected in a few- days. Under these
conditions I -determined to give bat-
tic without delay.
"Early on the morning of July 1
Lawton was In position around El
Canoy Chaffee s brigade on the rlpht
across the Guantannmo road Mile's
brigade In the center and Ludlow's on
tho left. Tho duty of cutting off the
enemy's retreat along t'nc Santiago
road was assigned to tho latter brig-
ade. The artillery opened on tho town
nt 6:15 a. m. The battle lnr r :) bo-
camo general and Wrt-J hotly C3Mrslr.il
The enemy's position was naturally
strong and was rendered more so by
block IioubCs a stone ifort and en-
trenchments cut In solid rock and the
loop holing of a solidly- built stone
church. Tho. opposition offeicd by tho
enemy waa greater than had beon an-
ticipated and prevented Lawton from
Joining the right of the main line dur-
ing the day as had been IntendoJ.
After the battle had been continued
for some time Bale's brjgado of two
regiments reached my headquarters
from Slboney. I directed him to move
near El Cancy to give assistance if
necessary. He did so and was put V.
position between Miles and Chaffee
The battle continued with varying in.
tensity during most of the day and
until the place- was carried by assault
about 4:30 p. m. As the Spaniards en-
deavored to retreat along the Santia-
go road Ludlow's position enabled
him to do very effective work and to
practically cut off all retreat. After
the battle at El Carney was nil over
I directed Grime's battery to open fire
from the heights of EI I'ozo on the San
Juan blooic house which could be seen
situated In yic. cncmy'i cntrcehments
extending along the crest ot Han Juan
hill. ThlB fire wns effectUe and the
enemy could bo seen running away
from tho vicinity ot the block house
The artillery flro from El I'ozo was
soon rbturne'd by the enemy's a ullery
. They evidently had the range of
this hill and their first shells klllcl
and wounded several men. As the
Spaniards used smokeless powder It
was very difficult to locato tho posi-
tion of their piece? while on the con
trary the smoke caused by our black
powder plainly Indicated tho position
"At this time tho cavalry division
under Gen Summer -which was lying
concealed In the general vicinity ct
the El Pozo house was ordered for-
ward with directions to cross the Snn
Jaun river and deploy to the right on
tho Santiago side while Kent's divi-
sion was to follow closely-in Its roar
and deploy to the left. Thuso troops
moved forward in compliance with or
ders but the road was 6 narrow as
to render It hnpraptlcablo to rotaln
tho column of fours formation at all
points while tho undergrowth on
cither side was so dense as to preclude
the iKisslblllty of deploying skirmish
ers. It naturally resulted that the
progress made was slow and that the
long range rides of the enemy killed
and wounded a number of our men
while marching along this road and
before there Avat any opportunity to
return the fire.
"At thhi time Gens. Kent and Hum-
mer were ordered to push forward with
nil possible haste and place their troops
In position to engage the enemy. Gen
Kent with this object in view forced
the head of his column alonsHo of the
cavalry column as far as tha narrow
trail permitted and thus hurried his
arrival nt the San Juan and On for
matlon beyond Out strean. A few
hundrH yards be.'ie roivh' is San

mander of th cavalry division who

and crossing the creek formed for at-
tack In front of Snn Juan hill. Dur-
ing this formation the second brigade
suffered severely While personally
superintending this movement Its cl-
Innt comnndor Col. Wlkoff was killed.
Tho commnnd of tho brigado then de
veloped upon Lieutenant Colonel
worth i3iu infantry wha was ooc.n
severely wounded and next upon LIcu-
tenent Colonel Llcsum 21st Infantry
who live minutes later nlso fell under
tho terrible lire of the enemy and ths
command of the brigade then develop-
ed upon Lieutenant Colonel Ewers
0th Infantry.
The tenth and second Infantry were
ordered to folow Wlkoff's brlgtde
while the 21st was sent on tho right
hand road to support tho first brigade
under General Hawkins. Tho second
and tenth Infantry Colonel L I. Tear
son romniandtng moved forward In
good order and drovo thn enemy b.iek
toward his trenches. After completing
the formation under a destructive fire
ami advancing a short distance both
divisions found In their front a wide
bottom In which had been placed a
barbed wire entanglement and beyond
which there w-as n. high hill along the
crost of which the enemy was strongly
posted. Nothing daunted these gal-
lant men pushed on to drive the enemy
from his ehosoti position both divis-
ions losing heavily. In this assault Col.

were killed and Colonel Carroll Lieut

were wounded.
"Great credit Is due to llrlg. Gen. II.
S. Hawkins who placing himself be
tween his regiments urged them on by
voice and bugle rails to the attack so
brilliantly executed.
"In this fierce encounter words fall
to do Justice to the gallant regimental
commanders and th heroic men.
It was after all the intrepid bravery
of ufllcers and men that planted our
colors on th crest of San Juan hill
und drove tho enemy from his trenchee
and block houses thus gaining the pos-
ition which scaled the fate of Santia
go. j. -VSJIIJUSI
"In this notion on this part of the
field most cfllclunt service was render
ed by Lieut. John II. 1'arkcr thirteenth
Infantry and the galling gun detach-
ment under lils command.
"1 am greatly Indebted to General
Wheeler who. as previously stated re-
turned from the sick list to duty dur-
ing the Rftemoon. Ills cheerfulness and
aggressiveness made Itself felt on the
part of the battlefield and tho Informa-
tion he furnished to me at various
stages of tho battle proved to ba most
useful.
"All day on the second the battle

tui gajncl a strong and commanding

"About 10 p. m. the enemy made n
