Fortifications in Guantanamo Bay shelled by American naval force. Capture of the Spanish sloop Chato in Guantanamo Bay. June 18. Bombardment of blockhouse in Guantanamo Bay. Battery at Cabanas shelled by the U. S. S. Texas. June 19. First American troops landed on Cuban soil. June 20. General Shafter and Admiral Sampson visit General Garcia in his camp. June 21.
This chief of the Chato immigrants a race supposed to be the ancestors of the Mohammedan Tungani of more recent times at the head of forty thousand men of his own race, who, from the color of their uniform, were named "The Black Crows," marched against Hwang Chao, and signally defeated him. The condition of the country at this time is painted in deplorable colors.
It's just that I have to have my little joke, that's all, or I wouldn't have said anything about the chato or the Captain either. "Though, if I do say it," he added in final justification, "there ain't many seafaring men who have a chance to sail along of a man like him." "And how does that happen?" I asked. "Because there ain't any more like him to sail with."
The task was concluded in less than half an hour, and had no more than come to an end when a small sloop was sighted off the entrance to the bay. The Marblehead’s steam launch was sent in pursuit, and an hour later returned with the prize, which proved to be the Chato. Her crew of five were taken on board the Marblehead as prisoners. June 18.
Better fail the law and pardon a repulsive, bloody beast such as Chato de Cuqueta, than shoot an addle-headed unfortunate such as Clemente Garcia, or a dreamer like Sanchez Moya, whose hands were innocent of blood. It was pointed out a long time ago that laws are like cobwebs; they catch the little flies, and let the big ones pass through.
