THE BATTLE ON Triple HILL.
Fully ten thousand people witnessed
the hattie on Saturday. The hills sur
rounding the camp were alive with specta-
tors, who apparently preferred to "snufi
the battle from affair." The guardsmen in
the Fourth Brigade camp were. around
early in the morning and were drilled for
battle. The Colonies, Sheehan and Lehe,
had confidence in their men, and the latter
were confident that their Colonies were the
peers in military matters of any on the
field, and that in that respect both were
superior to any of the Generals on the
ground. That they would come out vic
torious, which they did, was predicted bv
all who knew of their thorough knowledge
of military matters. Fortunately, although
the battle
wAGED FIERCLY ON Triple HILL,
And in the camp below, no accident of any
serious nature occurred. The object of the
battle was to capture Triple Hill, bald
mountain Just in the rear and overlooking
the Fourth Brigade camp. It's capture
would command the camp and take it. The
Third Regiment, under Colonel Tobin. was
the tlrst to move to the scene of action be-
yond Triple Hill. At 1:30 p. NJ the drums
beat in the regimental headquarters, and
the regiments, with their bands playing
and colors flying, went forth to battle,
everything indicating that there was to be
some heavy fighting. The Third Regiment
having gone round by the ravine on the
side of Tripe Hill, ensconced themselves in
the deep valley on the other side, and
everything was then in order for the COM
meneement of hostilities. The plan of the
battle, as arranged, was that the First, Sec
ond and Fifth Infantry, under Colonies
Dickinson, Tobin and Ranlett, were to be
the attacking force, and the Provisional
Regiment, the First and Second Artillery
and the San Francisco Hussars, the de-
tenders.
DISPOSITION OF THE TROOPS
When the battle began the Third Regi-
ment was to be directly beyond and north
of the assaulted camp, and Colonel Dickin-
sons and Colonel Ranlett's regiments on
the right in the woods to the northeast.
The Third Regiment, throwing out its Skin
mlsh line, was to advance first The camp
being in expectation of an assault, natu-
rally would have its pickets out over the
hills. and the moment the Third Regiment
skirmishers made themselves felt the pick
cts would fail back, firing. and give the
alarm to the camp. The long roll should
then be sounded, and the Third Regiment
