Miles Arrives at Santiago in Key Confederate Battle Reports
General Nelson A. Miles reached Santiago bay and met Admiral Sampson after arriving on the Yale. He planned to visit General Shafter at Siboney to review campaign plans while denying any intent to replace Shafter. The Yale reportedly captured Cervera’s fleet after the battle, with questions about ship damage and salvage lingering as officials await fuller court findings.

General Miles Arrives Amid Uncertain Santiago News
General Miles aboard the Sixth Massachusetts with Garretson’s brigade is in the area as the Columbia and Yale reach off Santiago. No definite reports from army or navy had reached Washington by midnight. Officials at the White House hold no official word, and a conference with army and navy leaders fuels speculation of potentially limited actions or a temporary suspension while plans are reviewed.
