regiments were destroyed unablo to withstand onslaught tho landing party were pressed back in great disorder down the gully many of and pistoled Ho far battle had been entirely with the defending force The battle Indiana and other vessels of the convoying fleet had stood in to within two miles of tho shore but to tho proximity of two contending parties had not dared to open fire for fear of

retired rapidly towards brushwood in the rear which could not bo seen from the sea their battery going with them THE Over two hours had now passed since the first landing and had now about of bis troops ashore With the disappearance of cavalry he moved them as rapidly as he could to the top of the eminence Indiana still keeping up a fire to prevent interruption By seven oclock men and a couple

burning villages are fully confirmed In the Be tune district of Albania seven hundred age its connection with Santiago by I and numbers of them went down under Servian Christian of a light railway and it the Spanish cannon and rifles and the mVe most entire luck of strong defensive batteries Relying upon the precipi tous nature of the coast the Spaniards thought it unnecessary to erect forti fications and this oversight cost them the position General feat in placing his men ashore resembles closely that of General Wolfe at Quebec Prior to sailing he hod been informed by officers of the Survey department that the coast around was exceedingly precipitous with on ly opening which was almost im practicable as a landing place He determined however to examine this opening for himself and as soon as it was dusk went out to recoriuoitre Returning to the ships he sent out for the boats to held in readiness to embark troops at four oclock next morning Punctually at that hour every -boat- in the fleet was in the water loaded to the gunwales with men With muffled oars they proceeded silently and a party of picked men climbed the gully after great difficulty and established them selves at its head Unfortunately they were stumbled upon by one of the patrols which CaptainGeneral Blanco has established around the coast of Cuba and the shots exchang ed gave notice to tho occupants of heliograph station who immediately lighted a huge beacon fire to warn the garrisons of Santiago and the neigh boring towns It had been Shatters intention so soon as a party had been landed to hold the head of the gully to quietly surround the heliograph station and capture those in charge so as to pre vent such a contingency Seeing however that this plan had miscar ried he hurried his men rapidly up the declivity which was over a mile in length and in about an hour 700 of them had taken up a strong on the level ground at the sum mit THE AROUSED Meanwhile country had been aroused and 400 Spanish cavalry stationed at Juraguasito itself is situated five miles inland with a light field battery came up at the gallop It was now sufficiently light for the situation of affairs to be seen i field guns look up a posi tion close to the heliograph station and opened fire working great havoc with American infantry in a few minutes The cavalry thereupon charged in splendid order and being Spanish cannon ami ana of cavalrymen were I 8 and two women nave murdered once more being forced down the gully preventing the advance of their comrades still landing from the boats The Spanish infantry were advancing at the double to complete the deteat which seemed inevitable CUBANS TO THE At this moment however a wel come diversion was created by over a thousand Cuban insurgents under who came up through the in tear Spaniards This completely turned the tables taken between fires their only shelter occupied by- the rebels the Spanish troops began to waver and the American landing party rallied and moved forward again Bewilder ed by the new course of events the Spanishartillery and fire was ineffective and the cavalry galloped off to the right with many empty saddles The two American guns be gan to do deadly work in front while the Remingtons of the Cuban did likewise in the rear Presently the latter drew their machetes and issuing from the thickets fell upon the rear of their traditional enemies and the Americans following their example at tacked them in front reinforcements all the while pouring up the gully from the WON The battle was lost to the Spaniards The landing hag effected Pablo and drew off their men or those of them they could get away from Cubans in disorder leaving the field to their opponents who did not deem it advisable to follow them for fear of entanglements inland By ten oclock the whole of division had been landed and lished in a position which rendered further attack impossible unless with a larger force than that at the com mand of the Spanish Upon plateau bodies of dead and wounded Spaniards were found while the American losses were killed and wounded June Robert a welltodo farmer and reeve of Township was gored by a shorthorn bull

of old solders both Con federate and were recently swapping of the Civil War Afc last they fell to the great- eat acta of that each had known and a Southerner told the following story It was j hot July day in and General Grant was after ua Our men hud hurriedly dug riflepits to protect themselves from the Federal sharpshooters and dead and dying Feds were lying up io the vtry edge of those pits In one of the pits was on ungain ly raw redbeaded boy Ha was a retiring lad green as grass a re liable fighter We never paid much attention to him one waf The wounded had been lying for hours unattended re the pits the sun was getting hotter and hotter They were suffering horribly from pain and thirst Not fifteen feet away outside the rillepit lay a mortally wounded officer who was our enemy As the heat grew more intolerable this officers cries for water increased He was evidently dyiug hard and his appeals were the most piteous nature The redheaded boy found it hard to bear them He had just join ed the regiment and was not yet callous to suffering At last with his grimy face he cried out I cant statid it no longer boys I Im goin to take that poor feller my For answer to this foolhardy speech one of us stuck a cap on a ram rod and hoisted it above the pit it was pierced by a dozen bullets To venture outside a step was the maddest suicide And all the while we could hear the officers moans Water water Ttist one drop for Gods sake somebody Only one drop tender- hearted boy could stand the appeal no longer Once twice in spite of our ut most remonstrance he tried fully to clear the pit At last he gave a desperate leap over the embankment and once on the other aide threw himself flat upon me ground and crawled toward bis dying foe He could not get close to him because of the terrible fire he broke a sumac bush tied to the stick his precious canteen and landed it in the sufferers trembling hands You never heard such gratitude in your life Perhaps there was never any like it before The officer was for tying his gold watch on the stick and sending it back as a slight return for the disinterested act But this the boy would not allow He only smiled happily ami returned as he had gone crawling amid a hailstorm of bullets When he reached the edge of pit be called out to his comrades to clear the way for him and with a mighty leap he was among us once more He was not even scratched He took our congratulations calm ly We said it was the bravest deed we had seen during the war He did not answer His eyes bad a soft musing look How could you do it I asked in a whisper later when the crack of the rifles ceased for a moment It was something thought said simply Something my mother used to say to me teas thirsty and ye gave me drink she said She read it to me out of the Bible she taught it to mo until I never could forget it When I heard that man crying for water I remember ed it The words I still in my head I couldnt get rid of em So thought they meant me and I went Thats all This was the reason why the boy was ready to sacrifice his life for an enemy And it was reason enough added the soldier with a quavering voice Youths Companion June Information
