The Immense Body, of Troops Put on Shore Without Losing One Life. Last ISoat Load Was Landed at 1 O'cloc k In the Morning and at Daybrcuk the March Toward Santiago Wan Iteguu Landing of the Tkki;ii Covered liy a Heavy l ire from a l'orflou of Admiral SainpiMiii'i Fleet. New York, June 21. A special dated At riaya del Kste, Cuba, says that ut 1 o'clock Thursday morning the last of Oeneral Shafter's army ot invasion had landed at Daiquiri. "Washington, June 24. The war ofllce Is notified that, sleeping Wednesday .night on Cuban soli, General Shafter's army of invasion Thursday morning promptly bepan moving toward Santla go. No detail of the advance are ob tainable here, but it is fully understood General Shafter expects to capture the city and the Spanish army by assault before three days pass. Playa del Kste, Cuba, June 24. Major General Wil.lam Ji. Shafter is our man of action. He began disembarking his men from the transports at Daiquiri and Juragua at noon Wednesday. In an Incredibly short time nearly all those who are to be used at Santiago were on shore. Daiquiri, one of the places cf landing, Is about fifteen miles east of Santiago, and the bay is large and well protected. Juragua, in the Day of Da cano, is the nearer place to the destina tion of the troops. It is twelve miles from Santiago and has a smaller hai bor than Daiquiri. While the troops were going ashore ships of Admiral Sampson's squadron threw shells into several places in the neighborhood where Spaniaids were re ported to have been massed to attempt to prevent the landing. A large body of Cubans worked valiantly in the rear of the Spaniards, and when the first bodies of our troops reached land and began to shoot they very quickly drove the enemy into the hands of the insur gents. Man on the Texan Killed. The battleship Texas took a lively part in the work and took the minds f .a great many Spaniards away from the scene by throwing shells into Masa mona, twenty miles west of Daiquiri, and into the west batteries of Cabanas. One man on the Texas was killed. This was intended as a diversion, and was a most successful cne, us the greater part of the Spanish forces evidently were mistaken as to the places chosen for landing. Long before this reaches New York the troops will be driving the Spanish outposts into Santiago. The landing has been successfully made. Cuba is invaded by the United States. The co-operation of the navy in Shafter's plan of invasion involved, first, an attack on Manterola, west of Santiago, by Cubans under Rabl; sec ond, the shelling of Mazamorra block house by warships; third, the shelling of the hills overlooking every cove where a landing might be effected .east of the harbor; fourth, the grouping of coal transports west of Santiago to make Spaniards believe the landing would take place there as soon as Maza morra was taken. Deceived the Spaniard. At daybreak the Spaniards saw the counterfeit movements of transports to the west, and not the transports com ing in from the east, the latter gather ing off Dacanao. One battleship and one cruiser besides the Helena, St. Louis, Suwanee and several auxiliary yachts, were to cover the landing. Fires began to blaze in town at dawn, show ing that the Spaniards were destroying it. The day was beautiful and the wa ter smooth. Doats were towed beside those transports which were to go first. The decks of the transports, then forty miles away from Santiago were crowded with troops impatient to land. Spanish riflemen dotted the hills, but there was no sign from the fortifica tions fifteen miles west of this point. The strategic game opened at 8 o'clock. Dabl's 2.000 Cubans attacked the Span ish at Mazamorra. The Texas at the same time ran close in shore and opened on the blockhouse back of Ca banas bay. Silenced In Forty Minute. The Estrella battery opened on the Texas, shots coming near for the range. The Texas silenced the battery in forty minutes. Then a Spanish field battery ran down and opened a fire on the Tex as. It was driven off by her rapid-fire guns. It opened up again, and again was driven off. Meantime the Spanish and Cubans were hotly engaged and a fierce rifle fire was heard. Cervera's ships In the harbor opened on the Cubans on the plateau at the little bay of Jullci, where the hut in which Tweed lived when he landed In Cuba from his yacht is believed to be. The Scorpion opened fire on the hills es another diversion, the slopes and harbor of Juragua were shelled by the Helena, Newport, Dan croft and the yacht Vixen. Shrapnel burst all over the hillside, and the Spanish riflemen fled. Watch Kept on Cervera. As still another diversion the battle ship left the convoy and returned to the fleet, Sampson leaving Schley in command, with orders to smash Cer vera if he came out of the harbor. Sampson steamed down to Dacanoa to superintend the naval rrt of the operations. The gunboats continued a raking fire, and the Iowa took a hand and engaged the water batteries be neath MPrriV tiUnMne hm. Then h gunboats "continue raking Juragua with sheJJ the Texas and Scorpion still firing. The line of battle was twenty miles long. The New York, off Daca hao, offered fire, clearing the beach. The bugle calls rang over the water, troops clattered into the boats, and tho landing began. The First to Land, A detachment of eighty regular infan try soldiers v.as the frst to land, fol lowed by General Shafter's old regi ment, the First infantry. Then came the Twenty-fifth infantry, the Twenty second infantry, the Tenth infantry, the Seventh and Twelfth Infantry, the Serond Massachusetts regiment, and a detachment of the Ninth cavalry. The boats rushed forward slmultaneouly from every quarter In good-natured ri valry to be first, and their occupants scrambled over one another to leap ashore. As the boats toed about In the surf breaking against the pier, get ting ashore was not an easy matter, and the soldiers had to throw their rides on the dock before they could climb up themselves, and some hard tumbles resulted, but nobody was hurt. Lined Up and Marched Away. At the end jot the pier the companies and regiments quickly lined ip and were marched away. General Lawton threw a strong detachment for the night about six miles west on the road to Sanitago and another detachment was posted to the north of the town amcng the hills. The rest of the troops were quartered in the town, some of them being housed in the buildings of the iron company. 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. MINUS TAKEN LT. Submarine Ietroyer Removed from Giiantanaino Harbor. Playa del Este, Cuba, June 24. Seven contact mines were taken from the har bor of Guantanamo by picked crews from the Marblehead and Dolphin. The work was done under heavy fire from the shore, which was answered by the Marblehead and Dolphin. Ihree of the six contact arms of one of the mines were found to have been driven in. It is believed that this was caused by the propeller of the, Marble head or Dolphin when they went In the other day to destroy the fort. The driving in of the arms should have caused the mine to explode. The work of clearing the harbor of mines will be continued until all have been taken up. Then one of our light-draught vessels will go in and capture or destroy a Spanish gunboat which is in hiding close to the town. The work was as dangerous as any thut mtn are called upon to do in time of war, and Commander McCalla, under whose direction it was accomplished, has received great praise for the skill displayed by the daring men who risked their lives In the boat. , SUNT 1IY SHAFTKIt AND SAMTSOX.

Chicago's Noted Surgeon Detailed to Hurry to Shatter's Army. Washington, June 24. Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago has been assigned to unusually important special work under the surgeon general's department of the army at Santiago. He was sum moned by telegram from Chlckamauga Park to report at once to Surgeon Gen eral Sternberg In Washington. When he will arrive Is not known, as no reply has been received at noon. The character of Dr. Senn's work is not disclosed, but he will probably be at the head of the hospital work with General Shafter's army, being chosen at the suggestion of General Miles on account of his wide experience. It was admitted at the surgeon general's office that it was the intention to have Dr. Senn depart for Santiago with the re inforcing expedition for "important spe cial work at Santiago." Expedition to Torto Klco. Washington. June 24. The Porto Rico expedition will not be delayed after re inforcements have been sent to General Shafter. The plans made a month ago have not been altered. Next Monday, It is believed, will witness the embark ation of the third detachment of troops for Manila. The plan Is for General Merrltt to go with this expedition and for General Otis to follow him in a few days with the fourth detachment. The first expedition Is believed to be al ready at Manila and co-operating with Insurgents to occupy Luzon and Manila without delay. Editor and Deputies Sentenced. Milan, June 24. Nineteen editors and members of the chamber of deputies, charged with having been connected with the recent revolutionary outbreak here, after trial by court-martial, have been sentenced to terms of imprison ment varying from one monLk to six yean. 41.000 NOff IN CAMP Chickamauga Park the Scene of Great Activity. Tilt DHILLIXO OF TKOOPS (JOES OX. Soldiers Itelng Prepared for the Field lCup'dly and KatUfaetorlly No Longer Any Difficulty for the Men to Get Good and KuHlcieut Food sham Hat tie To He Given liiiler the Direction of Colonel l ied Grant. Chlckamauga Park, June 24. No or ders of any kind affecting the present status of General Drooke's army have been received and the work of prepar ing the men for the field is going for ward rapidly and satisfactorily. There are now at the park nearly forty-seven thousand men and these are being add ed to dally by from 600 to 700 recruits. Wednesday and Wednesday night the largest number so far to arrive in one day came In, there being about 1,500 new soldiers in the city. Including the payments to the Twelfth New York this week it is es timated that $310,000 has been paid to the volunteers at Chlckamauga since the army was mobilized here. The reg ular government pay day for many of the regiments is approaching. Some of the regiments have been mustered in for more than thirty days and have not yet been paid. Work on the pay rolls will begin in a short time. Everything Moving Smoothly Everything is now moving smoothly at the park. The men are all content ed and are working with a good will. The quartermaster's department has been thoroughly systematized, so that there is no longer the slightest diffi culty for the men to get plenty of good, wholesome food. The regiments are nearly all equipped with new uni forms and are being armed as rapidly as the guns can be turned out of the arsenal. Other needed small equip ments are being added daily, and it Is now believed that this army will be the best equipped of any to go Into the field. For the first time In the history of the army of the United States an am bulance corps is being organized as a new adjunct to its efficiency. England, Germany and France have such a corps in their armies, but it Is a new under taking for this government. The ob ject of this organization is to facili tate the proper handling of the sick and wounded on the field. The corps will have attached to it skilled physicians, surgeons and stewards, which, with a full supply of attendants, will number 150. - Have Twenty-Five Ambulance. They have twenty-five ambulances, twenty-eight horses and seventy-six mules, together with wagons and har ness for moving their equipage. There is a driver and an orderly for each am bulance. Major MacCumber of the Fourteenth New York, chief surgeon of the corps, is a physician who was for a number of years the superintendent of Kings county insane asylum. Major MacCumber's practice of late has been such as to peculiarly fit him for his onerous duties as chief surgeon. The chaplains of nearly all of the various regiments now encamped at Chlckamauga Fark have begun a very vigorous crusade against the many reg imental canteens or saloons. The fight Is as yet in its lnclplency, but it prom ises to be waged with unrelenting vig or, and If the chaplains can obtain the co-operation of the army officials, the canteens will soon be a thing of the past. Brigade Oflicer of the Day. Lieutenant Colonel Adams of the Fourth Ohio was named as brigade offi cer of the day in the Second brigade. First division, First army corps. He will continue as brigade officer for one week. Major Thomas F. Lynch, First battalion. Sixty-ninth New York, and Lieutenant John Devane, M company, who were left here quite sick when the regiment departed for Tampa, have about recovered and expect to go with their regiments soon. Coo!, clear weather again prevails. Regimental drills are going on in all camps, but no unusual maneuvers are taking place. The sham battle of the First division, Third corps, to be given under the direction of Colonel Fred Grant next Saturday, promises to be the event of the week. The best of or der now prevails throughout the camp. The provost guard placed at Lytle by General Drooke Is having an excellent effect. Will Rendeivou at Springfield. Springfield. Ills., June 24. The Eighth and Ninth regiments will rendezvous at the state fair grounds in Springfield. Governor Tanner has so decided. Cap tain Campbell of the Ninth held a con ference with Governor Tanner and de tails were completed for bringing the regiment here. Lieutenant Dallou, government quartermaster, made a pre liminary requisition on the quarter master general for equipments and as soon as they arrive the two regiments will go into camp, which will be about the first of next week. Governor Filigree at Tampa. Tampa. Fla., June 24. Governor Fin gree of Michigan has arrived here. The entire Michigan regiment and band es corted him to military headquarters. Dreyer Found Guilty. Chicago, June 24. Edward S. Dreyer, former treasurer of the west park board and late president of the defunct bank ing firm of E. S. Dreytr & Co., was ad Judged guilty of withholding $316,000 of the board funds from his successor in office and his punishment fixed at Im prisonment in the penitentiary. The convicted banker is now a prisoner in the county Jail, Judge Smith refusing to admit him to ball, notwithstanding the fact that he is already under bonds for $126,000 on account of fifteen other lnlctmeU. I Vi AT OSIIKOSH, Mint;. ; it ft re to De Called to Re store Order. Oshkith, .l3., Jliiie 24. A serious riot occurred here as a result of the wood workers' etr'ke. Several hundred women, armed with clubs, rocks, eggs and paper sacks of pepper, gathered at the south end of Light street bridge, near the Morgan sash, door and blind factory and waited for workmen en deavoring to enter the factory. The police were powerless to disperse the mob and not a man was allowed to en ter the factory, even the proprietors being driven back by threats of vio lence. Non-union laborers were singled out and chased for blocks, a number of them being struck by stones and eggs. As a consequence the plant was ordered closed down and the manufac turers are now holding a conference v. ith the city officials. Serious trouble is anticipated as the strikers are feel ing ugly. Chief of Tollce Welsbrod has notified Mayor ldeson that he is unable to con trol the riotous strikers and the mayor in turn has called on Sheriff Lambert to restore order. The present plan Is to appoint a force cf deputies and If seri ous resistance Is shown the governor will be asked to send the militia here. It now seems that the trouble was started by a watchman at the Morgan plant pointing a revolver at some of the women doing picket duty. The strik ers set upon the watchman and would have killed him but for police Interfer ence. John Table, another workman, was pounded and cut until his condi tion is critical. C. H. Taxton, manager of the McMillen Lumber company, was egged and narrowly escaped a dose of blue vitriol. The strikers are holding several streets on the south side and no one Js allowed to pass without inspec tion. FUSION TICKET IX MICHIGAN. Combination Effected at Grand Kapids with Little Difficulty. Grand Rapids, Mich., June 24. In their state conventions the Democrats, silver Republicans and ropulists had less trouble in getting together than usual.

Willetts of Calhoun county, ropulist; superin tendent of public instruction. Mrs, Flor ence Renkes of Darry county, silver Republican. There was an effort to defeat the nomination of Mrs. Renkes on the ground that a woman is not eligible under the state constitution, but Fred A. Daker of Detroit, a well-knowp au thority on constitutional law, decided in the lady's favor, and her nomination was made unanimous. I1LAM) RENOMINATED. lias Not Ueen Deaten in Convention Since 1872.
