THE WILMINGTON DAILY REPUBLICAN. ONE CENT. WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, THURSDAY. JUNE 23, 1898. ONE CENT INVADERS LANDING. \ Direct Communication With Shatter ami Sampson. Very Little Resistance to tlio Land ing of Our Troops. A DEMONSTRATION AT CABANAS To Engage the Attention of the Enemy While the Soldiers Were Being Landed. The Texas Engaged the West Battery and Had One Man Killed—The Work of Landing the Expedition Will Require Several Days. Washington, June 23.—Official dis patches received last night by both Secretary Algor and Secretary Long Indicated that the landing of troops near Santiago was progressing most favorably. The first landing was ef fected at Daiquiri in the morning, and met with comparatively slight resist ance. This was stated in a dispatch received in the evening from General Bhafter by Secretary Alger, which, though brief, was full of news and meaning. It said: "Landing at Daiquiri this morning ■uccessful. Very little, if any, resist ance." Secretary Alger expressed himself as delighted at the expedition with Which the landing of the troops was being effected, and with the fact that no serious obstacle was being offered by the enemy. He construed- the text Df General Shafter's message to mean that the enemy had made merely a nominal and ineffective resistance by Bring from the hills at long range. Shortly after Secretary Alger re ceived his dispatch Secretary Long re ceive^ from Admiral Sampson. It, too, was dated at Playa del Este, at 6:50 last evening. The text of the dispatch, translated from the navy department Cipher, Is as follows: "Landing of the army is progressing favorably at Daiquiri. There is very little, if any, resistance. The New Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp and Buwanee shelled vicinity before land ing. We made a demonstration at Cabanas to engage the attention of the enemy. The Texas engaged the west battery for some hours. She had one man killed. Ten submarine mines have been recovered from the channel of Guantanamo. Communication by telegraph has been established at Guantanamo." more extended cablegram In both army and navy circles the Information contained in the dispatch es of General Shatter and Admiral feampson was received with intense satisfaction. The landing of largo a body of troops as General Shafter «t present J>m.-$»der llls command is a tatdc of 'ImnfetiSe proportions. A prominent official of the war depart ment said that the complete debarka tion of the troops, animals, field guns and supplies within a week after their Arrival off the Cuban coast would be A task well accomplished. It is prob able, in the opinion of the officer re ferred to, that only a partial landing of the troops was effected yesterday, And that the landing will be continued from day until day until completed. It is not unlikely, too, that the troops Arill be landed at several places along tbo coast, of course -within a short distance of the headquarters which General Shafter will establish for him «clf. Admiral Sampson's dispatch indi cated that he was carrying out his in structions thoroughly to clear a way for the landing of troops. The demon stration which he made with the Texas before Cabanas, which is just east, of Guantanamo, may easily have led the Spaniards to suppose that a general landing was to be attempted in that immediate vicinity. It from the text of Admiral Sampson's dispatch that a considerable landing bad already been effected near Guan tanamo, as he noted that communica tion by telegraph had been re-estab lished at that point, and that the jvident fared of sul channel had bee rino mines. In the opinion of naval officers the landing at Guantanamo was of marines rather than of land forces, The cable stations through which the commanders will communl lAmeriet cate with Hie departments in this city have been established, as shown by the dates of the dispatches received, at Playa del Este, a small place directly on the coast and about 15 miles east of Santiago. The change was made from Camp McCalla to Playa del Este In order that the station might be *.ene of action. Bearer the The medical authorities here are anxious that the troops should be landed at the earliest possible moment from the transports off Santiago, and believe to effect this the commanders Would be justified in exposing the meix to some considerable degree of risk from attack rather than to continue their confinement on board the trans ports. The fact that the animals taken along have suffered heavy mortality ts an Indication that the lot of the troops cannot be very comfortable.

In relation to the report that comes from the squadron to the effect that Cervera's squadron is giving signs of making a desperate dash out of the entrance of Santiago harbor, the naval officials here say that Sampson un doubtedly has done everything that prudence could suggest to prevent the success of any such movement. The fact that he did not allow the trans* ports to join his squadron, but kept them 20 miles off at sea, Is proof posi tive that he did not purpose to sub ject them to possibilities of destruc tion at (he hands of the Spanish tor pedo boats should one or more of them manage to escape from the harbor the wreck of the Meriimac. As for the larger vessels, the Viz caya, Oquendo, Colon and Maria Teresa, the officials are confident that, . , . , notwithstanding the reports from Spanish sources that the Merrlraae does not successfully block the chan nel, these vessels cannot emerge with out blowing up the wreck. However, Sampson is taking no chances that can he avoided, and that his squadron is so largely reinforced by the 17 ships that made up tho convoy which escorted the transports, it is soarcely possible should the Spanish force tho passage that they could escape de struction at the hands of tho American fleet.

June 23.—There is absolutely foundation for the report published In the United States of an attempt to assassinate Captain General Blanco by a member of the volunteers whose brother it was alleged had been shot for complicity in a plot against the government.
