| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - 1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay - First U. S. attack The first successful U. S. foray against Guantanamo Bay occurred on June 6, with the arrival of the cruiser Marblehead, captained by Commander Bowman H. McCalla, and the auxiliary St. Louis. Commander McCalla had been detached by Admiral Sampson from the blockading fleet at Santiago and ordered to reconnoiter the Bay for a naval base. The captain of the St. Louis was to cut the cables which had their terminus in a small station on Fisherman's Point, and connected Cuba with Haiti and the outside world.

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - Music of Cuba - Folk music The natives of Cuba were the Taíno, Arawak and Ciboney people, known for a style of music called areito. Large numbers of African slaves and European immigrants brought their own forms of music to the island. European dances and folk musics included zapateo, fandango, zampado, retambico and canción. Later, northern European forms like waltz, minuet, gavotte and mazurka appeared among urban whites. Fernando Ortíz, a Cuban folklorist, described Cuba's musical innovations as arising from the interplay between African slaves settled on large ...

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - 1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay - Santiago Campaign With Guantanamo Bay now successfully occupied, U.S. interest centered on operations at Santiago. An American expeditionary force of 17,000 officers and men under Major General William R. Shafter was landed east of the city at the small ports of Daiquiri and Siboney on 22-25 June, without opposition. A week later, on 1 July, the historic battles of El Caney and San Juan Hill ended in victory for U.S. forces, opening up the approaches to Santiago itself. On the morning of 3 July a demand was sent to the Spanish Commander, General Arsenio Lina ...

Fire from the three ships temporarily dismounted two of the enemy's big guns, destroyed the buildings on the Cay, and drove the troops from all guns and trenches. One enemy shell landed near the bow of the Marblehead, sinking within ten yards of the ship, but no hits were scored.
Disaster jostled the U.S. ships as they steamed up the Bay past Caracoles Point. ...

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - 1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay - Aftermath The threat posed by U. S. Naval forces and a battalion of Marines at Guantanamo Bay, plus the stranglehold on land communications by 1,000 Cuban insurgents, effectively pinned down an army of 7,000 men which might have changed the outcome of the fighting at Santiago. Less than a week after the surrender of Santiago, the base at Guantanamo Bay was used to launch the invasion of Puerto Rico, 500 miles to the east. Thirty-five hundred troops under General Miles sailed from the Bay on July 21. This was the last important event in the Spanish-American War phase of Guantanamo Bay, for on August 12 the war ...

Marine Privates William Dumphy and James McColgan were the first U. S. casualties of the war.
A fruitless pursuit of the enemy, in which shots were exchanged but no one was hit, was abandoned by the Marines at dark.

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - 1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay - Attack on the Spanish Fleet In 1898 Guantanamo Bay had a measure of commercial importance because of the sugar port of Caimanera on the western shore of the inner bay, some five miles (8 km) from the sea.
Cuba was in turmoil in 1898. The Cubans had been in rebellion against the Spanish rulers since 1895. Two insurgent leaders, José Marti and General Máximo Gómez, had landed at the little beach of Cajobabo, which was between Guantanamo Bay and Cape Maisi, soon after the inception of the rebellion. Their return from exile fanned the flames of insurrection in Or ...

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - Music of Cuba - Diversification and Popularization
Music of Cuba - 1920s and 30s.
Son music came to Havana in 1920 (see 1920 in music) due to the efforts of legendary groups like Trío Matamoros. Son was urbanized, with trumpets and other new instruments, leading to its tremendous influence on most later forms of Cuban music. In Havana, influences such as American popular music and jazz via the radio were adopted.
The son trios gave way to the septets, including guitar or tres, marímbulas or double bass, bongos, claves and maracas. The trumpet was introduced in 1926. Lead singers improvised lyrics and embellish ...

A Spanish blockhouse stood on the hill overlooking the village on Fisherman's Point near the entrance to the Bay, and a fort on Cayo del Toro commanded the relatively narrow channel leading from outer to inner bay. The Spanish gunboat Sandoval was based at Caimanera on t ...

| | | | Oriente: Encyclopedia II - 1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay - Marines attack In this desperate situation, Colonel Thomas advocated an attack in force on the Spanish headquarters at Cuzco. Defeat of the enemy there, and destruction of the fresh water well, would inevitably force a retreat and relieve the pressure on the Marine Camp. Colonel Huntington agreed, and Commander McCalla approved the plan. Eight o'clock the next morning was set as the time for launching the attack.
Two companies of Marines (about 160 men) under Captain G. F. Elliot, with 50 Cubans under Colonel Thomas, would approach Cuzco along the c ...
