TWO CENTS. -Sh- SHAFTER'S REPORT IN Briefly Recounts the Or ganization of the Expedition DISPATCH FROM SCHLEY Delays Occasioned by False Reports. Early Operations of the Skirmish es In Which Hough Riders Par ticipatedInspiring Effect of the First Engagement Cause for Has ty Action In Battle. Washington, Sept. 14. (letiProl Shaf tPi's report of the campaign which terminated In the fall of Santiago has been made public. He briefly lecounts the organization of the expedition und its embarkation and then devotes the main body of the repoit to the active operations about Santiago. General Shatter says the expedition was un dertaken In compliance with telegraph ic Instiuctlons of May :i0 from head quarters of the army, In which It was stated. "Admiral Schley lepoits th.it two cruisers and two torpedo boats have been seen In the harbor of Santiago. Go with your force to capture gatris on at Santiago and assist In captutlng harbor and fleet." The repott gives In detail the tioops assembled at Tampa. The cavaliy was dismounted because of lack of transportation for the animals and be cause it was believed mounted cav alry could not operate elllclently near Santiago. This, Oeneial Shatter says, was found subsequently to be coriect. After reciting the delay at Tampa due to inadequate facilities, General Shat ter says that on June 7 he terelved orders to sail without delay but not with less than 10,000 men. Alter some of the transports had already reach ed the lower bay, telegraphic Instiuc tlons were received from the secietary of war directing that the sailing of the expedition be delayed waiting further orders. This delay was occasioned by the navy reporting that a Spanish war veas3el had been sighted In the Nicho las channel. The ships In the lower bay were Immediately recalled. The expedition sailed on June 14 with 815 officers and 16.072 men. General Shat ter briefly covers the trip and land ins, and his first meeting with General Garcia, PLAN OP CAMPAIGN. After conferring with Admiral Sampson and General Garcia the plan of campaign was outlined by General Shatter. The disembarkation was to commence on the 22d at Daiquiri, with feints by the Cubans on Cabanas, and by the navy at various shore points, In order to mislead the enemy as to the place of landing. Of the early operations, and the skir mish In which the Rough Riders par ticipated, the rerort says: "General Young's brigade passed be xond Lawton on the nights of the 23nl nnd 24th, .thus taking the advance, and on the morning of the latter date be came engaged with a Spanish force intrenched In a strong position at La Guasima, a point on the Santiago toad three miles from Slboney. General Young's force consisted of one squad ron of the First cavalry, one of the Tenth cavaly, and two of the First United States volunteer cavalry, in all 561 officers and men. The enemy made nn obstinate leslstance but were driven from the Held with considerable loss. Our loss was one ofllcer and fifteen men killed; six officers and forty men wounded. The lepotted losses of the Spaniards were nine killed and twenty seven wounded. The engagement had nn Inspiring effect upon our men and, doubtless coirespondlnrfy, depressed the enemy, as it was now plainly de monstrated to them that they had a foe to meet who would advance upon them under a heavy flie delivered from lntrenchments. General Wheeler, divi sion commander, was present during the engagement and reports that our tioops, officers and men, fought with the greatest gallantry. This engage ment gave us a well watered country farther to the front on which to en camp our troops." AS TO SUPPLIES. The repoit continues: "It was not un til nearly two weeks after the army landed that It was possible to place on shore three days supplies In excess of those required for the dally con sumption. "On June 30, I leeonncvitered the country about Santiago and made my plan of attack. From a high hill, from which the cltv was In plain view, I could see the San Juan hill and the country about El Caney. The roads weie very poor and Indeed little better than bridle paths until the San Juan river and El Caney were reached." General Shatter then gives a detailed nccount of the battles at these places. In this connection he says: "The preparations were far fiom what I desired them to be be but wo were In a sickly climate, our supplies had to be bi ought forward by a narrow toad which the rain might at any time jender impassable, fear was entertain ed that a storm might drive the vessels containing our stores to sea, thus sep arating us from our base of supplies, and lastly It was reported that Geneial Pando, with 8,000 t enforcements for the, enemy, was enroute fiom Maiizau ille and might be exepected In a few days. Under these conditions I deter mined to give battle without delay," General Shatter warmly praises the gallantry of officers and men In both engagements and adds: "My own health was Impalied by over exertion In the sun und Intense heat of the day before which prevented rne from participating as actively In the battle as 1 dealt ed, but from a high hill near my heudquaiters I had ii general view of the iiitUcfleld, ex tending from HI Caney on the right to the left of our lines on San Juan hill." CUBANS FOUGHT DRAV13LY. He adds: "A few Cubans nsslsted In the attack at El Caney, and fought valiantly, but their numbcis were too small to materially change the strength. The enemy confronted us with numbers about equal to our own: they fought obstinately In strong and Intrenched positions and the results obtained clearly Indicate the Intrepid gallantry of the company, officers and men, and the benefits derived from the careful training and Instruction giv en In the company In recent years In rifle practice and other battle exer cises. Our losses In these battles were 22 officers and 20S men killed, and SI officers and 1,203 men wounded: miss ing, "9. The missing, with a few ex ceptions, reported later." General Shatter then gives the de tails of the final surrender, his entry Into Santiago and the raising of the American flag. In closing ho says: "Hefore closing my report I wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles I had to encounter, and which no foresight could have overcome or obviated. The locky and precipitous coast afforded no sheltered landing places, the roads were mere bridle paths, the effect of the tropical sun nnd lalns upon un ncellmated troops was deadly, and the dread of strange and unknown dis cuses had Its effect on the army. "In reference to the sick and wound ed, I have to snv that they received every nttentlon that It was possible to give them. The medical oWcers, without exception, woiked day and night to alleviate the suffering, which was so greater than lnvatlably accom panies a campaign. It would have been better If we had mote ambul ances, but as many weie taken as was thought necessary, Judging from pre vious campaigns."
