Warships First Thoroughly Shell the Vicinity ami Debarkation of Troops Is Then Accomplished Without Loss of Life. New York, Jnno 23.—A special dated at Playa Dei Kste, Cuba, today, says that at 1 o’clock this morning the last of General Shafter’s army of invasion had landed at Bahiuiri. Time and sea and weather were pro pitious for the army of invasion. The navy and army co-operated splendidly, and as the big warships closed in on the shore to pave the way for the approach of the transports and then went back again, three cheers for the i avy went up from 10,000 throats on the troopships and three cheers for the army rose from ship after ship as the troopships moved in to take their sharo in the hazardous game. It was war, and it was magnifi cent. The Cuban insurgents, too, bore their fhare iu the enterprise honorably and Well. Five thousand of them, in moun tain fastnesses and dark thickets of ravines, lay all night on their guns, watching every road and mountain path leading from Santiago de Cuba to Guantanamo. A thousand of them were within Right of Baiquiri, making the approach of the Spaniards under cover of the darkness an impossibility. At 4 a. m. yesterday, as the As sociated Press dispatch boat approached Eaiquiri, the entire island of Cuba seemed wrapped iu soft mist like that of the dog days iu northern latitudes. Dull and thick clouds lay on the eastern horizon, and the sky reflected in the gray waters of the ocean, which gently undulated in the lazy breezes. Distant objects loomed up dimly, but it was seen that ufeny of the troopships that had been lying several miles in the citing had drawn in towards shore, while three or four warships lay men acingly near the harbor approach. All around transports, steam launches and some boats were bobbing about like corks, the first indication of the true object of the undertaking ahead. Soldiers Eager to Laud. An hour later the sun was rising in the eastern sky, touching the mountain tops with patches of light green and reveal ing the great semicircle of troopships, some close to the coast line, others a mile distant, with their decks crowded with eager, expectant men, impatient to begin the great movement of destiny, to make a new chapter iu the history of America, the first invasion of our army of a foreign country iu half a century. As the dispatch boat of the Associ ated Press ran closer in, near where the New Orleans was lying, with her great Armstrong guns trained on Baiquiri, tongues of lurid flame and black smoke were seen rising from the town, the in evitable consequence of war and a sure sign that the Spaniards had gone, leav ing ruilTbehind them. The captain of the New Orleans shonted the news to the dispatch boat, adding: “Yon had bettor keep off a little. You ure in range. They have a rifle on the eastern side of Baiquiri.” ; Thci • ‘ - Punta ularly at tbe p: veritable Gibraltar in possibilities of de fense. From the staff at its summit the Spanish flag was defiantly floating at •onset last night, bnt it was gone this morning and with it the small Spanish guard which had maintained the signal station. Between nightfall and dawn the Spaniards had taken the alarm and fled from the place, firing the town as thev left. The flames were watched with interest from the ships. Two sharp explosions were beard. At first they were thought to be the report of gnus from Spanish masked batteries, but they proved to be the explosion of ammuni tion in the burning building. Three hours waiting made the men of the transports Impatient to get ashore and in action, and every move of the warships wee closely watched by the soldiers. Feint by Our Warships. A little before S o’clock the bombard ment of the batteries of Jaragua was begun by the ships of Rear Admiral Sampson’s fleet This was evidently a feint to cover the real point of attack, Jaragua being about half way between Baiquiri and Santiago de Cuba. The bombardment lasted about 30 minutes. The scene was qnickly shifted back again to the neat semicircle of the transport fleet before BaiouirL At 6:40 o’clock the New Orleans opened fire with a gun that sent a shell rumbling and crashing against the hill side. Tbe Detroit, Wasp, Machias and Sowanee followed snlt, and soon the hillsides and the valleys seemed to be ablaze, as shot followed shot in swift •nocession amid the wildest and excited cheering of the soldiers on the trans ports. In five minutes the sea was alive with flotillas of small boats, headed by launches, speeding for Baiquiri dock. Some of tbe boats .were manned by crows of sailors, while others were rowed by the soldiers themselves. Each boat contained 16 men, every one iu fighting trim and carrying three day’s rations, a shelter tent, a gnu and 2(Xi | cartridges, ready to take tho field on j touching the shore, should they be called upon to do so. The firing of the warships, however, proved to lie a needless precaution, as | their shots were not returned and no ' Spaniards were visible. Two correspondents of the Associated Press, in a small boat, joined the first flotilla that went ashore and witnessed the inspiring sight of the landing. General Shafter, on board the Sogn- ranca, closely watched the lauding of the troops. Lawton at the Head. Brigdaier General Lawton, who had been detailed to command the lauding party, led tho way in a launch, accom panied by his staff, and directed the iormatiou o*’ tho line of operation. A detachim -it of 80 regular infantry Soldiers wis th" first to land, followed by General Sh ifter’s old regiment, tho First infantry. Then came the Twenty- fifth, tho Twenty-second infantry, the Tenth infantry, tho Seventh and Twelfth infantrj*, the Second Massa chusetts regiment and a detachment of the Ninth cavalry. The boats rushed forward simultane ously from every quarter, in good na- tfired rivalry to be first, and their occu pants scrambled over one another to leap ashore. As the boats tossed about in the surf, breaking against the pier, getting ashore was no easy matter and the soldiers had to throw their rifles on the dock before they could climb up themselves, and some hard tumbles resulted, but noboby was hurt. At the end of the pier the companies and regiments quickly lined up and were marched away. General Lawton threw a strong de tachment about 0 miles west, on the road to Santiago, and another detach ment was posted to the north of tho town among the hills. The rest oi the troops were quartered in the town, some of them btHng housed in the buildings of the iron company. The others of the troops were quar tered in deserted houses, while others still preferred the shelter of their tents in the adjoining fields. Work of the Shells. The morning’s fire, it was seen, de stroyed the roundhouse, tho repair shops and several small dwellings. The town was deserted when tho troops landed, hut women and children soon appeared from the surrounding thickets and returned to their homes. The sunbrouzed soldiers, in their slouch hats and service uniforms, quickly searched the buildings and beat np the thickets after landing in search of the lurking foes and marched in the unknown country beyond at nightfall, with long, swinging stride, and the alert bearing of the old frontier army men, ready to fight the Spaniards Sionx fashion, or in the open, wherever they could be found. The cheers of their comrades still waiting on the transports and of the bluejackets and tbe strains of Yankee Doodle from the bands on the troopships sainted them as they disappeared from view over the hills of Baiquiri. The landing was accomplished with out loss of life, the only casualty being the wounding of an insurgent on the hills by a shell from one of our war ships. He will lose an arm. The insurgent troops at Baiquiri are commanded by General Castillo and are estimated to number 1,000 men. AN EDICT FROM MASO Cuban President Calls on All Factions to Unite. TRIUMPH CLOSE AT HAND Kvery Man on the Island Able to Bear Anns Urged to Present Himself at the Nearest Military Camp and Offer His Services. Washington, June 23. — President Bartolome Maso of the Cuban republic has issued a proclamation, addressed to the people of Cuba, which has just been made pnblio here. In part the procla mation is as follows: ’•In the struggle begun by the noble revolutionist Jose Marti on Feb. 24, 1895, we may look forward to an early triumph with the help of the United States. Our arms, till yet never van quished by Spain dnring the three years of war and strife, will be qnickly led to conquest and victory. The congress of the great republic of the United States has decreed not only that Cuba must be free, but that she must be for the Cubans, and President McKinley has signed this noble and jnst edict. On April 26 war was declared between the United States and Spain as # result of that decree and the few ports which are now held ky Spain on Cuban shores are being blockaded by the United States fleet. ’‘Arms, ammunition and provisions are coming from the United States. United, Cubans and Americans will S nickly put an end to the tjranons ominion of Spain in Cuba. “For three years Cubans have fought like heroee in their great struggle for liberty. Their obligation today is to be the vanguard of the allied armies. Au tonomists and Spaniards born in Cuba who doubted the ultimate triumph of Cuban arms now see the hour in which they should and must unite with us. The republic of Cuba will receive them with open arms, because our one object is to form and sustain a stable govern ment and a lust one for all the inhabi tants of the Island. qCome to onr side, men of good faith ami noble sentiments; help us to make the Cuban nation. We have had tho valor and courage to face death, and we will have tho added glory of extending pardon and forgiveness to our enemies. “Kemenilier, Cubans, that now is tha hour in which every man able to bear arms should present himself at the nearest military camp, whether Cuban or United States, and offer his services to fight for the freedom of his country and his brothers. There is no more honor, no greater glory in the world faun to contribute now to the liberty of this, our country.” Governor IMngree at Tampa. Tampa, Fla., June 23.—Governm Pin- greo arrived hero today. The entire Michigan regiment and band escorted him to tho military headquarters. Lewis Named For Congress. Middi.esporo, Ky., June 23.—L.

Nervine ’tfteetores Health Catarrh of the bowels, be cause it is most prevalent in th - summer months, is called summer catarrh. 11 surprises many that bowel trouble is catar rhal. Dr. Hartman's books make this plain. Write to the i'c-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for them. They tell all about catarrh and how Pe-ru-na cures it wherever located. “I had chronicdiarrhoea for fifteen years,” writes Mr. T. E. Miller, Grand Prairie, Tex. “ I tried many medicines and doctors in vain. At last Pe-ru-na was recom mended, and it relieved and cured me at once.” Mr. John Hartinj?, 633 Main St., Cincinnati, O,, writes: “My wife and myself took your Pe- ru-na for chronic diar rhoea and it cured us. No doctor or medicine we tried before helped us.” Mr. Edward Wormack, Ledbetter, Tex., writes: “ Pe-ru-na for bowel troubles is unequalled by anything in my ex- ll'l’ftkjJi perience. I owe my ,, life to Pe-ru-na, and 1 shall always recom mend it to those suffer- Injf as I was.” Mr. John Edparton. 1020 Third Ave., Altoona, Pa., says: “I suffered from dysentery for three years I took Pe- ru-na and am now well.” WINE OF CAROLII THE NEW WAY.
