General Shafter, however, after conferringwith General Garcia, the commander of the insurgents, decided to marchoverland against the city. The army did not have sufficient smallvessels to effect a landing; but the navy came to its assistance, andon the 22d of June the first American troops began to disembark atDaiquiri, though it was not until the 26th that the entire expeditionwas on shore.
