Washington, Sept. 15. General Shat
ter's report of the caniiialfrn which
terminated In the fall of Santiago has
been mads public. He brtolly recounts
the organization of the expedition and
Its embarkation and then devotes the
main body of the report to tho active
operations about Santiago. General
Shatter sayB the expedition was un
dertaken In compliance with telegraph
ic Instructions of May 30 from head
quarters of the army, in which It was
stated:
'Admiral Schley reports that two
cruisers and two torpedo boats have
been seen In the harbor of Santiago.
Go with your force to capture garrison
at Santiago and assist In captutlng
harbor and fleet."
The report gives In detail the troops
assembled at Tampa. The cavalry was
dismounted because of lack of trans
portation for the animals and because
It was believed mounted cavalry could
not operate efllclently near Santiago.
This, General Shatter says, was found
subsequently to be correct. After re
citing the delay nt Tampa due to In
adequate facilities, Genoial Shatter
says that on June 7 he received orders
to sail without delay, but not with less
than 10,000 men. The expedition
Balled on June 14 with 815 ofllcers nnd
16,072 men. General Shatter briefly
covers the trip aud landing, and his
first meeting with Oeneral Garcia,
adding:
'During the Interview General Gar
cia offered the services of his troops,
comprising about 4,000 men In the vi
cinity of Asseraderos and about 500,
under General Castillo, at the little
town of Cujababo, a few rrjles cast of
Daiquiri. I accepted his offer, Im
pressing It upon him that I could exer
cise no military control over him ex
cept such as he would concede, and so
long as he served under me I would
furnish him with rations and ammuni
tion." After conferring with Admiral Samp
son and General Garcia the plan or
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 tho navy at various shore points,
In order to mislead the enemy as to
the place of landing.
'It was not until nearly two weeks
after the army landed that It was pos
sible to place on shore three days'
Bupplles In excess of those required tor
tho dally consumption.
The preparations wore 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
tertalned that a storm might drive the
vessels containing our stores to sea.
thus separating us from our base ot
supplies, and lastly It was reported
that General Pamlo, with 8,000 rein
forcements for the enemy, was en route
from Manznnlllo and might be ex
pected In a few days. Under these con
dltlnns ,1 determined to give battlo
without delay."
Then follows tho story of the battles.
and tho report continues:
Great credit Is due to Brigadier
General II. S. Hawkins, who, placing
himself between his regiments, urged
them on by voice and bugle calls to
the attack so brilliantly executed.
"In this fierce encounter words fall
to do justice to the gallant regimental
commanders and their heroio men, for
while the generals Indicated the for
mations and the points of attack, It
was, after all, the Intrepid bravery of
the subordinate oHlcers and men that
planted our colors on the crest of San
Juan hill and drove tlio enemy from his
trenches and blockhouse, thus gain
ing a position which scaled the fate of
Santlugo.
"Most efficient service was rendered
by Lieutenant John H. Parker, Thir
teenth Infantry, and the Gntllng gun
detachment under his command, The
fighting continued at Intervals until
nightfall, but our men held resolutely
to the position gained at tho cost of
so much blood and toll,
"I am greatly Indebted to General
Wheeler, who roturned from the sick
list to duty during the period. His
cheerfulness and aggressiveness made
It sufficiently felt on this part of the
battlefield and tho Information he fur
nished to me at various stnges of the
battle proved to be most useful.
"The cessation of firing about noon
on the 3d practically terminated the
battle of Santiago. All that occurred
after this ttmo may properly bo treated
under tho head of the siege which fol
lowed. After deducting the detach
ments retained at Slbonoy and Dai
quiri and for other duties It Is doubt
ful If w had more than 12,000 men on
the firing lino on July 1, when the
battle was fiercest and when the 1m
'portant and strong positions of El
Caney and San Juan wero captured. A
few Cubans assisted lu the attack at
El 6ney, and fought valiantly, but
their numbers were too- small to ma
terially change the strength as Indi
cated above. The enemy confronted us
with numbers about equal to our own.
They fought obstinately In Btrong and
Inttencued positions, and tho results
obtained clearly Indicate the Intrepid
galluntry ot our soldiers.
"The arrival of General Escnrlo at
Santiago was not anticipated. General
Garcia, with between 4,000 nnd 6,000
Cubans, was Intrusted with the duty
of watching for and Intercepting the
reinforcement expected. This, how
ever, he failed to do, and ICscarlo pass
ed Into the city along on my extreme
right, near tho bay."
After speaking of Admiral Cervera's
sortie and the destruction of his fleet
General Shatter says ho again called
on the Spanish commanders to sur
render. "On the same date I Informed Ad
miral Sampson that If he would force
his wny Into the harbor the city would
surrender without any further sacrifice
of life. Commodore Watson replied
that Admiral Sampson was temporarily
absent, but that In his (Watson's) opin
ion the navy should not enter the har
bor. The strength of the enemy's po
sition was such I did not wish to as
sault If it could be avoided. An ex
amination of tho enemy's works, made
after the surrender, fully Justified the
wisdom of the course adopted."
General Shatter gives tho various ef
forts towards securing a surrender.and
his reopening the engagement on the
10th, when the truce ended. On the
11th the surrender waB again demand
ed. "By this date the sickness In the
army was Increasing very rapidly, as
a result of exposure in the trenches to
the Intcnso heat of the sun and the
heavy rains. Moreover, the dews In
Cuba are almost equal to rain. The
weakness of the troops was becoming
so apparent I was anxious to bring th
siege to nn end, but, In common with
most of the officers of the army, I did
not think an assault would be Justifia
ble, especially as the enemy Beemed' to
be acttng In good faith In their prelim
inary propositions to surrender.
"July 12 I Informed the Spanish com
mander that Major General Miles, com-mander-n-cblef
of the American army,
had Just arrived In my camp, and re
quested him to grant us a personal In
terview on the following day. The In
terview took place on the 13th, and I
Informed him his surrender only
could be considered, and that as he
was without hope of escape, ho had no
right to continue the fight.
General Shatter then elves the de
tails of the final surrender, his entry
to the city and the raising of the Amer
lean flag. In closing, he says:
'Hofure closing my report I wish to
dwell upon the natural obstacles I had
to encounter and which no foresight
could havo overcome or obviated. The
rocky and precipitous coast afforded no
sheltered landing places, the roads were
mere bridle paths, the effect of the
tropical sun and rains upon unaccll
mated troops was deadly, and the
dread of strange and unknown dis
eases had Its effect on the army.
"In conclusion, I desire to express to
the menibeis of my staff my thanks
for their efficient performance of all
duties required of them and the good
Judgment and bravery displayed on all
occasions when demanded.

THE
Money Question !
Here it's a question of . how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you have, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us tban elsewhere. It is not
because your dollars contain more
metal for us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. If we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
