OFF GUANTANAMO, Cuba. Friday,
Copyright, IS'JS. by the Associated Press.
June 10, via Port Antonio, Saturday, June
11, 7 a.m.—The invasion of Cuba by the
American forces begun today. Six hun
dred marines have pitched their tents about
the smoking ruins of the outer fortifications
of Guantanamo, and the Stars and Stripes
lor the first time float on a Spanish flagstaff
ln Cuba.
To Captain Clark and the battleship Ore-
Bon belong the honor of accomplishing the
first successful landing of the war. Forts
marines from the battleship went ashore
this morning and occupied the left entrance
of the bay until the troop ship Panther ar
rived with 800 marines. These, under the
command of Lieu:enan:-Co!onel E. W.
Huntington, arrived at 3 o'C-."ck, and within
half an hour they had burned the buildings
of the Spanish camp and had set fire to the
miserable little village which crouched on
the beach under the hill-top of Guantana
mo. The whole operation of silencing the
guns and landing the forces was as easy
as placing a Sunday school picnic. The
Marblehead, backed by the Vixen and Dol
phin, opened on the earthworks. The
shores on the right of the entrance were
lined with guns and rifle pits, but the Span
lards stampeded after firing a few shots.
The city of Guantanamo lies four miles
up the bay, and a little Spanish gunboat
came down to help the shore batteries. But
ihe stayed Just long enough to turn around.
Numerous shots were fired by the Span
lards, but not one landed and no Americans
Were Injured. The main fort lies within
the city limits and Is st ill to be reduced, but
It Is not In a difficult position and the
American officers say lt ran be taken in
fifteen minutes when desired.
The Marblehead, Dolphin, Vixen and two
colliers have been off the entrance of the
harbor for several days, and yesterday
morning they sailed into the channel. A
mile further up they opened fire, sendinc
fifty Bhots at the fortifications on the left.
The hills on the right of the entrance were
deserted. There are no defenses on the
right side of the harbor.
No attempt was made to land until the
Oregon steamed in early this morning.
Captain Clark immediately sent forty
marines ashore and twenty from the Mar
blehead followed. They found evidence ot
.a very hasty departure by the Spaniards.
Watches, hammocks and ammunition were
scattered about the earthworks and a Span
ish flag was found In one of the rifle pits.
The little detachment of marines held the
place until the Panther arrived when they
were recalled and the work! of disembark
ing began. The first boatload had scarcely
landed when the village burst into flames.
Company X, under Lieut. Hall, was the first
ashore and without the loss of a moment the
column started up the steep rocky hillside
to the earthworks. For an hour a brown
column of marines filed up the narrow patch
eventually taking up a position at the top
of the hill. As soon as the American flag
was swung out to the breeze from the flag
staff of the captured Spanish camp, the Ore
gon steamed away to rejoin the fleet off San
tiago. The marines will hold the position
until the arrival of the expected troops, In
the meantime scouting in the vicinity, with
the Marblehead, Vixen and Dolphin lying
by to protect them.
Rear Admiral Sampson now has a har
bor and base of supplies on the south side
of the island and troops can be landed at
Will.
Tne troop ship Panther reached the fleet
off Santiago early today.
Oh the way over the Yosemlte fired a
doaen shells into the port of Dalgari but
received no response.
Guantanamo is about forty miles east of
Santiago de Cuba and Is a splendid location
for a base of supplies for the blockading
fleet.
It is understood that the island of Cuba
Is entirely cut off from cable communica
tion with the outside world. Report here
has It that the cable ship Adrian cut the
cable at Santiago on Monday, and that the
same day the St. Louis cut the cable run
ning from Guantanamo to the Mole St.
Nicholas, Hayti. She was Interrupted by
•hells from the shore, but the Marblehead
sent several shells at the soldiers and scat
tered them.

SEVEN STORY BUILDING
GUTTED BY FIRE, DRENCHED
WITH WATER
Four Detroit Firemen Seriously In
jured in a Cheaply Built Struct
ure—Money Loss Heavy
DETROIT, Mich., June 11— G. F. Case's
Immense power buiidlng on Congress slreet
was discovered on fire at 3 o'clock this
morning. The building was a large seven
story structure occupied by many light
manufacturing concerns. The power build
ing is already a total loss.
The following firemen were caught inside
the Case building by the rush of flames. All
were severely burned ar.d some otherwise
crippled:
M. J. SHEEHAN, Lieutenant No. 6 En
gine Company.
HENRY FISHER.
JOSEPH HOCKADAY.
THOMAS KENNEDY.
JAMES T. KENYON.
Some of the woodwork ln the upper stories
of the Union Trust building got afire and
lines of hose were hoisted and the headway
of the flames checked.
A four-story annex to the Buehl office
building, on Congress street, was set afire
from the top by falling of burning debris
from the Case building. The annex was
badly gutted. Part of the spire of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church was burned, and the
crowd watched the cross at Its apex, mo
mentarily expecting to see it break off and
fall. Two firemen were so badly burned
that they were taken to the hospital. An
other fireman was severely injured by a
falling wall. Several incipient blazes started
ln the Wayne County Bank building ar.d
other office structures in the vicinity, and
numerous awnings and other inflammable
materials were consumed. Several little
Ares caught ln the eleven-story Union
Trust building, which was directly to lee
ward of the burning power building, but
further serious spread of the flames was
prevented. An old three-story wooden
structure west of the Case building was
crushed by a portion of the tottering wall
falling upon It". The front walls of the Case
building leaned outward menacingly, and
finally fell in the street, portions at a time.
Nothing In the Case building was saved.
The Case building was valued at $90,000.
It was Insured for $60,000. The contents are
roughly estimated at $100,000, but may reach
above that amount.
The fire is known to have originated In the
drying room of the printing office of the
Michigan Varmer newspaper on the fourth
floor. Ho one but the watchman was about,
though a number ot people were asleep in
a four-story annex of the Case building ad
joining it on the west and separated by a
fire wall. They were all gotten out safely,
but the four-story structure burned with
the main building. The rapidity with which
the whole outfit went up in flames was ex
traordinary. The building, which was
about 50x100 feet in size and several stories
and basement in height, had no steel frame
work, but was supported on the inside by
wooden pillars and joists throughout above
the second story. The structure was full
of tenant manufacturers. Only the upper
stories of the Buehl building annex burned,
but fhe lower stories were flooded with
water.
BROOKLYN DRY DOCK
Engineer White to Be Tried for Ne
glect of Duty
WASHINGTON June 11.—The Navy De
partment has taken steps to begin court
; martial against Engineer White for neglect
;of duty in the construction of the big dry
dock at Brooklyn, and has also taken
measures to have suit brought by the De
partment of Justice against the sureties
4 on the bond of tht> contractor who built
I the dock.
J The sureties against whom the Depart
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE f2, 1898
ment of Justice will proceed are John D.
Crimmlns of New York ci;y, and Ralph C.
Packard of Morristown, N. J. The con
tractors for this dock were Thomas and
Augustin Walsh. Thomas Walsh is dead,
but the surviving member of the firm car
ries on the business. The contract was en
tered into May 9, 1595, the contract price
bting $370,000.
To guarantee the correct performance
of the work the bond was made for 28
per cent of the contract price, viz., $P2,500.
It is for this amount that the suit will be
brought. After the contract was made,
changes ln the construction of the dock
Entailed additional cost of $150,000. lt was
said at the department today that the de
fects in the dock had cost the government
from $160,000 to $170,000, so that the amount
of the bond will not be sufficient to reim
burse the government. Engineer White
belonged to tho corps of engineers of the
navy and during the construction of this
dock was assigned with Engineer Mehocal
*.o its superintendence. The investigation
following a break in the dock led to an
official report that Engineer White was in
charge much of the time during the ab
sence of Menocal. The latter was tried by
court-martial and suspended for three
years. The department is now moving
Rgainst the other engineer and also againal
those who can in part reimburse it for the
defects.
A CRAZY PRINCESS
Draws Checks and Drafts at Will on
Various Banks
LONDON, June 11.—A special dispatch
from Vienna says the creditors of Princess
Louise of Saxe Coburg, wife of Prince
Philip, who is accused of forging the signa
ture of Crown Princess Stephanie to the
extent of 2,000.000 llorins.are bringing action
against her in an attempt to recover the
money.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle telegraphed to his paper
on May 10, as follws:
•■Princess Louise of Saxe Coburg was con
veyed to a private asylum last night. The
P:,nccss, who is a daughter of King Leo
pold of Belgium, had clandestinely passed
the last few weeks with Lieutenant Yon
Mattlchich-Keglinch, her lover, at his cas
tle near Agram, Croatia. In the meantime,
her debts grew to millions of florins, and
bills bearing the alleged forged signature of
the Arch-Duchess Stephanie came into cir
culation."

REBEL CHIEF'S REVENGE
WHY THE SPANIARDS FEAR
AGTJINALDO'S ANGER
PROMISES PAID WITH TREACHE
The Insurgent Chief and His Generals
Will Again Trust Spanish
Promises—Paying Old Scores
Associated Press Special Wire
VANCOUVER, B. C June 11.—Some very
interesting information was brought by the 1
Empress of Japan from Hong Kong re
garding negotiations between the Philippine
rebel chief and the United States at Singa- ■
pore, lt seems that just before the actual
outbreak of hostilities between Spain and
the United States Singapore was the scene ,
of a secret political arrangement by which
General Emilio Aguinaldo y Fern!, supreme
head of the revolutionary movement in the
Philippines, entered Into direct relations
with Admiral Dewey while that officer was
still at Hong Kong.
ln order to understand and appreciate this
interesting historical incident propeny it
will be necessary to allude to the causes
leading to this second appearance of the
rebellion in the Philippines, which was al
most coincident with, though not instigated
by, the strained relations between Spain
and the United States.
In December last Gen. Primo de Rivera,
who was over all other Spanish generals,
had intimate knowledge of the country and
Its inhabitants, found the position unten
able for both parties. Neither of these had
the remotest chance to terminate the re
bellion decisively, the rebels being secure In
their mountain fastnesses, the Spaniards
holding ten towns and villages on the
coast. Primo de Rivera, therefore, sent
two well known Philippine natives occupy
ing high positions in Manila to propose
terms of peuce to General Aguinaldo.
A council of the revolutionary party was
held in which they agreed to lay down their
arms on condition of certain reforms being
introduced.
Primo de Rivera agreed to these reforms
in substance and made a condition that the
principal rebel leaders must leave the coun
try during his majesty's pleasure. As these
leaders had lost all of their property or had
it confiscated and plundered, the govern
ment agreed to provide them with funds to
live In a becoming manner on foreign soil.
The rebels laid down their arms and peace
was apparently secured, but no sooner had
they done so and returned to their homes
than the Intransigeant religious orders
commenced at once to again prosecute them
and trump up imaginary charges to pro
cure their re-arrest. The Spanish govern
ment, on its imagining itself secure, de
sisted from carrying out the promised re
forms, thinking another trick like that
played on the Cubans after the peace ar
rangement by Martinez Campos might suc
eed. The Philippines, however, refused to
be made dupes and have taken up arms
again, not alone in the Immediate districts
around Manila, but throughout the archi
pelago. General Aguinaldo, accompanied
by his aid de camp, Colonel Marcelo H. Del
Pieler, and Private Secretary Leyba, ar
rived incognito from Singapore and
Saigon on the 25th of April, 1898. In Sai
gon, where Aguinaldo had remained for one
week he had interviewed one or two old
Philippine rflends now residing there. The
special purpose of Agulnaldo's visit to
Singapore was to consult other friends
there, particularly Howard W. Bray, an old
and intimate English friend, for fifteen
years resident in the Philippines, about the
welfare of the islands, particularly as to
the possibility of war between the United
States and Spain and whether ln the event
of success the United States would eventu
ally recognize the Independence of the Phil
ippines, providing he lent his co-operation
to the Americans in the conquest of the
country. The situation was thus: That the
conditions of the honorable peace conclud
ed on the 14th of December, 1897, between
Aguinaldo, in behalf of the Philippine reb
els, and the Governor-General, Primo de
Rivera, on behalf of Spain, had not been
carried out, although their Immediate ex
ecution should be vouched for ln the agree
ment. These reforms could have provided
safety to the people against the organized
oppression and rapacity of religious frater
nities, and secured Improved civil
and criminal procedure ln courts and
have made good in many ways the Improve
ment in fiscal conditions of the people. The
repudiation by the Spanish government of
these conditions made by Rivera left tho
rebel leaders who had, for the most part,
gone to Hong Kong, free to act. And it
was In pursuance of that freedom of action
that Aguinaldo again sought counsel of
friends at Saigon and Singapore, with a
view of immediate resumption of hostili
ties In the Philippines. Meanwhile Mr.
P. nay was Introduced to Spencer Pratt,
Consul-General of the United States, who
was anxious, ln view of contingencies, to
learn as much as possible about the real
condition of the Philippines. It was a few
days after this that Aguinaldo arrived at
Singapore, when he at once met his friends,
including Bray.
Affairs were now becoming more warlike.
Bray, after a conversation with Pratt,
eventually arranged for an Interview be
tween that gentleman and Aguinaldo.
There were present General Emllio Aguin
aldo y Feml, E. Spencer Pratt, Consul-
General of the United States of America;
Howard W. Bray, Agulnaldo's private sec
retary; J. Leyba, Colonel M. H. Del Filar
and Marlselno Santos.
During the conference, during which
Bray acted as Interpreter, Aguinaldo ex
plained to the American Consul-General,
Pratt, Incidents and objects of the late re
bellion and described the present disturbed
state of tho country. Aguinaldo then pro
ceeded to detail the nature of the co-opera
llon he could give, In which he, in the event
of the American forces from the squadron
landing and taking possession of Manila,
would guarantee to maintain order and
discipline among the native troops and In
habitants in the same humane way In
which he had hitherto conducted the war
and prevent them from committing out
rages on defenseless Spaniards beyond the
Inevitable ln fair and honorable warfare.

Worden's Latest Appeal
SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 11.—A petition
for a writ of error was presented today
to the supreme court in the case of Salter
[D. Worden, and was denied by the court.
The petition gives as the reason for desiring
the writ that the prisoner, who is now con
fined at Folsom under sentence of death,
wishes to appeal to the supreme court
ot the United States, alleging that the su
perior court erred In Its instruction to the
jury, and that the verdict of murder in
the first degree Is contrary to the evidence.
It Is also asserted that the supreme court
of this state erred in its opinion. Applica
tion will without doubt be made to one of
the Justices of the supreme court of the
United States to order the writ.
Learning by Experience
It is very evident that a couple of com
panies of men and a gunboat cannot land
and capture any town in Cuba.—lndian
