Battle of Tayacoba
The Battle of Tayacoba, June 30, 1898, was a disastrous American effort to land supplies and reinforcements to Cuban rebels fighting for their independence in the Spanish–American War.
==Background==
On June 25 the steamers USS ''(Fanita )'' and USS (''Florida'' ) accompanied by the gunboat USS ''(Peoria )''〔(Edward L. N. Glass, ''The History of the Tenth Cavalry, 1866–1921,'' Acme Printing Company, 1921, p. 32. )〕 left Key West carrying a cargo of troops, ammunition, supplies and arms (including two dynamite guns, 4,000 Springfield rifles and 200 Mauser rifles), to aid Cuban insurgents under the command of Máximo Gómez. On board were 650 Cubans under General Emilio Núñez, fifty troopers of the Tenth U.S. Cavalry under (First Lieutenant Carter P. Johnson ) and Second Lieutenant George P. Ahern,〔(Frank N. Schubert, ''Black Valor: Buffalo Soldiers and the Medal of Honor, 1870–1898'', Rowman & Littlefield, 2009; ISBN 1-4422-0193-2. )〕 and twenty-five Rough Riders under Captain (Winthrop Astor Chanler ),〔(Rice, Wallace, editor. ''Heroic Deeds in Our War with Spain: An Episodic History of the Fighting of 1898 on Sea and Shore'', G.M. Hill, 1898. )〕 brother of Captain William Astor Chanler.
The first attempt to land took place on June 29 near the port of Cienfuegos, at the mouth of the San Juan River, however as a result of a prior assault on May 11, the position was too heavily defended to effect a landing.〔Thomas, Lately. ''The Astor Orphans: A Pride of Lions'', W. Morrow, 1971.〕 The American force then sailed about 40 miles east along the south coast of Cuba, to a point near the town of Trinidad. On June 30 a landing party went ashore on a beachhead just west of Tunas de Zaza, near the mouth of the (Tallabacoa River ) (mispronounced 'Tayacoba' by the Americans).〔(Richard H. Titherington, ''A History of the Spanish-American War of 1898'', New York: D. Appleton and Company 1900, p. 149. )〕
