The landing of United States troops for land warfare in Cuba has been actually commenced. At Guantanamo...a full battalion of Marines...were speedily put ashore, drove the Spaniards from their camp, with some fighting, and hoisted the American flag on the top of the hill. Fighting was renewed on Saturday afternoon, and went on in the evening and till after midnight, chiefly with detached pickets of the American troops. On Sunday morning, the naval squadron being augmented by the arrival of the Texas, Yankee, and Porter, the Spanish artillery was silenced...We hear of no further active operations in the neighbourhood of Havana or in the western part of the island.
