Legislature in the shape of resolutions, demanding energetic and decisive action on the part of the government against the kingdom of Spain.
The destruction of the battleship Maine, in the harbor of Havana, through Spanish agencies, called forth a strong legislative declaration, and being regarded as an act of hostility and the forerunner of war, the General Assembly, before adjourn- ing, authorized the issuing of $500,000 of the bonds of the State to be used by the Governor, at his discretion, in enlisting, arming and equipping Ohio's allotment of volunteers in the army as they might be called for by the government.
The declaration of war by Congress, on the twenty fifth of April, 1898, followed by the destruction of the Spanish fleet in the Bay of Manila, on the first of May, following, by the American Squadron under Comodore Dewey, without the loss of a single American life, filled the people with enthusiasm, which received a new impetus, when, on the third of July, the American fleet, under Comodores Sampson and Schley, with the loss of but a single American sailor, totally destroyed, off Santiago de Cuba, the second and more formidable Spanish fleet, Spain losing in killed and wounded over 1,000, with 1,500 prisoners, which comprised the entire Spanish naval force.
On the sixteenth of July, Santiago capitulated, and 25 000 Spanish officers and sol- diers were taken prisoners by Gen. Shafter, who with 15,000 American soldiers, aided by the navy, in a campaign of less than three weeks reduced the Spanish works and garrisons to the last extremity, sustaining a loss of 335 killed and 1.785 wounded and missing. The Spanish losses in killed and wounded were even greater.
With the fall of Santiago an expedition of 30,000 men moved upon Puerto Rico under General Miles, occupying that island, and Spain invited negotiations for peace.
Under the first and second calls for volunteers nine regiments and a battalion of infantry, seven batteries of the First Light Artillery, and eight troops of cavalry, designated the First Cavalry, were recruited.
All these organizations, except the Tenth Infantry and the First Cavalry, were recruited from the organized National Guard, the commanding officers and regi- mental headquarters in the State service, and the first point of encampment after leaving the State are given herewith :
