Excerpt: ... he telegraphed a report of the same to the Secretary of the Navy, adding: "If ten thousand men were here city and fleet would be ours within forty-eight hours. Every consideration demands immediate army movement; if delayed, city will be defended more strongly by guns taken from the fleet." But the almost inextricable confusion at Tampa, and the receipt of a false report that two Spanish cruisers and a torpedo-boat destroyer had been seen in the Nicolas Channel, delayed the departure of the Fifth Corps for about two weeks. Finally, on June 14, the expedition, convoyed by the Indiana and several smaller ships, set sail for Santiago de Cuba. It is not the intention at this time to describe in detail the sailing and disembarkation of General Shafter's army; that is reserved for another chapter. But it may be remarked here that this army arrived at Santiago on June 20, and in conjunction with the navy was then ready to strike the blows which were to decide the fate of Cuba and end the war. The delay at Tampa was but the lull before the storm. comments No sooner had the naval authorities of Spain received positive information of Admiral Dewey's victory in the Philippines, than they felt the need of having a strong naval force in home waters. Accordingly, the despatch of May 12 authorizing Cervera's return was sent; and so anxious were they that this despatch should reach Cervera before he arrived in any Cuban or Porto Rican port that three days later the commandant at San Juan, Porto Rico, was directed to use every possible means to forward it to the admiral, who was then at Curacao. As Admiral Cervera did not receive the despatch until his return to Spain several months later, and as he did not even learn that such a despatch had been sent...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign, Vol. 1 of 3: Santiago De Cuba The recent Spanish-American War, while possessing, as every war does, characteristics of its own, nevertheless, in its broad analogies, falls into line with its predecessors, evidencing that unity of teaching which pervades the art from its beginning unto this day. It has, moreover, the special value of illustrating the reciprocal needs and offices of the army and navy, than which no lesson is more valuable to a nation situated as ours is. - Mahan. After a war one ought to write not only the history of what has taken place, but also the history of what was intended. - Von der Goltz. Fools say that you can only gain experience at your own expense, but I have always contrived to gain my experience at the expense of others. - Bismarck. War is a business of positions. - Napoleon.

Download or read book Manila and Santiago written by Jim Leeke and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-07-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy's first two-ocean war was the Spanish-American War of 1898. A war that was global in scope, with the decisive naval battles of war at Manila Bay and Santiago de Cuba separated by two months and over ten thousand miles. During these battles in this quick, modern war, America s New Steel Navy came of age. While the American commanders sailed to war with a technologically advanced fleet, it was the lessons they had learned from Adm. David Farragut in the Civil War that prepared them for victory over the Spaniards. This history of the U.S. Navy s operations in the war provides some memorable portraits of the colorful officers who decided the outcome of these battles: Shang Dewey in the Philippines and Fighting Bob Evans off southern Cuba; Jack Philip conning the Texas and Constructor Hobson scuttling the Merrimac; Clark of the Oregon pushing his battleship around South America; and Adm. William Sampson and Commodore Scott Schley ending their careers in controversy. These officers sailed into battle with a navy of middle-aged lieutenants and overworked bluejackets, along with green naval militiamen. They were accompanied by numerous onboard correspondents, who documented the war.In addition to descriptions of the men who fought or witnessed the pivotal battles on the American side, the book offers sympathetic portraits of several Spanish officers, the Dons for whom American sailors held little personal enmity. Admirals Patricio Montojo and Pasqual Cervera, doomed to sacrifice their forces for the pride of a dying empire, receive particular attention. The first study of the Spanish-American War to be published in many years, this book takes a journalistic approach to the subject, making the conflict and the people involved relevant to today s readers. This work details a war in which victory was determined as much by leadership as by the technology of the American Steel Navy.
