Shafter on the Stand Bays Victory Was Cheaply Won
General Shafter testified before the war investigation commission on the Santiago expedition. He said the campaign was a military success, cost 500 lives, and would not change his plans if repeated. An incident cited Castillo’s delay and 1,000 men behind Basquiri failed to trap the Spaniards. He dismissed illness as not affecting the campaign and described a platform built for his horse due to gout.
