Major General Shafter

This view is taken at the camp at Baiquiri. In the distance under the trees are tents and a camp fire, beyond which stretches the broad expanse of the Caribbean Sea. An officer gallops toward the front, reins in his horse, and wheeling rapidly, stands at attention. Other officers are seen galloping across the camp. A party of officers is seen rapidly approaching. He with the white helmet and broad expanse of shirt bosom is Major General Shafter, commanding the 5th Army Corps. His avoirdupois distinguishes him from his subordinates. They gallop forward, taking the trail leading to Santiago. An excellent picture of this capable and brave General.
