are greater cable facilities TO file a de-
tailed report Of the engagement.
In the two hours fighting during
which the volunteers battled against
their concealed enemy enough heorism
was shown TO ill a volume. One Of the
American troop-E., desperately woun-
oad. vas lying squarely between the
lines Of fires. Surgeon Church hurried
t. his side and. with bullets pelting all
around him, calmly dressed the mans
wound, bandaged ii n walked un-
concerned back. soo returning with
two men and a litter. The wounded
man was placed on the litter and
brought into our lines. Another SOL
der of roo l., concealing himself as
best he could behind a tree, gave up
his place TO a companion and
a ONE or two later was himself
wounded.
Sergeant Bell stood by the side Of
Captain Capron when the latter was
mortally hit. He had seen that he was
lighting against terrible odds, but he
never fiinched. Give me your gun
a minute he said to the sergeant, and
kneeling down, he deliberately aimed
and fired two shots in quick success
sion. At each a Spaniard was seen to
fail. Bell, in the meantime, had sieZ-
ed a dead comrades gum and knelt be-
Si1O HE captain dld IiSo StCdolss
when Captain Capron fell he gave
the sergeant a parting message to his
wife n father and bade the sergeant
good bye in a cheerful voice and was
then borne away yin
Sergeant Hamilton Fish, Jr., was
the first mar killed by the Spanish fire.
He was near the head OF the column
as it turned from the wood road into
range of the Spanish ambuscade. He
shot one Spaniard who was firing from
the cover Of a dense patch of under
brush. When a bullet struck his
breast he sank at the foot of a tree
with his back against it. Captain Cap
ron stood over him shooting and others
rallied around him, covering the
wounded man. The ground this after
noon was thick with empty shells
where Fish lay. He lived twenty min
utes. He gave a small lady's hunting
case watch from his belt to a mess
mate as a last souvenir.
with the exception Of Captain Cap
ron all the rough-riders killed in yes
terdals fighting were buried this
morning on the field of action. Their
bodies were laid in one ling trench,
each wrapped in a blanket. Palm
leaves lined the trench and were heap
ed In p%rofusion over the dead heroes.
Chaplain Brown read the beautiful
Episcopal burial service for the dead,
and as he knelt in prayer every troop
er, with barred head, knelt around the
trench. When the chaplain announced
the hymn, Nearer My God to Thee"
the deep bass voices of the men gave
a most impressive rendering of the
music. The dead rough-riders rest
right on the summit of the hill where
they fell. The site is most beautiful.
A growth Of rich luxuriant grass
flowers the slopes and from the
top a ~far-reaching view is had over
the tropical forest. Chaplain Brown
has marked each grave and has COM
plete records for the benefit of friends
of the dead soldiers.

IN HAVANA.
Hunger EyeryWhere-NO Food Arriv.
Ing From the POrts-Adyen-
ture of a Party of Refugees on a Brig

Key West, June 25.-1O:30 a. M
A two masted vessel, the Amapala, of
Trujiilo, Honduras, was brought in
here this evening, flying the American
flag and in charge of Ensign Zeen, Of
the Vicksburg. She was captured yes
terday afternoon at sunset, while leav-
ing havana and attempting to run the
blockade. She was quickly overhauled
by the Vicksburg and was found to
ave over thirty women and children
and a number of men on board, crew
and passengers, all refugees. There
was no sickness on board, but she is
detained in quarantine.
The Amapala is a small wooden
brig and belongs to Mauel Montesino
Monteres, of Trujillo, Hondas. She had
been lying at Havana since before the
blockade. Her crew numbers eleven
men, besides the captain, but almost
all were male refugees.
GerOme BaZe, a French citizen, who
three years 6 was a leading ex-
change broker in Havana, chartered
the vessel and got together over forty
people eager to embrace any chance to
escape from Havana. He is in charge
of an expedition, made up Of all ma
tionalities, including Spanish, French
V~eneZuelans, Cubans and Turks. They
fully expected to be captured, but the
conditions in Havana were SO dread
full for the poorer classes that any
risk was preferable to starvation. The
Amapala came out of Havana openly
and offered no resistance. All of the
captiveS are confident of release.
Hardly any provisions were on board
at the time of the capture and no car
go or c~ontraband articles were found,
and she may not be held as a prize.
They report everything quiet at Ha-
ana which looks like a deserted city
since business n trafic are at a
~standstill. The banking firms of H.
Upmann & Co, j. NJ Borjes & Co.,
Varcisco, Ruez & Co, and n. Gelats
& Co. are the only mes doing any bus
mess. All other firms are either clos
ing up or dragging on, waiting for the
end of the war, having discharged all
employees. Hunger and starvation
stare the lower classes in the face, the
well-to-do having laid in three months
stores. After they are exhausted dis
tress will be general, as there is no
further source of supply.
The stories regarding the relief
through southern ports are denied.
Nothing has gone into Havana for
over a month. and the situation, con-
~seQuently, is very grave. Murder AND
robbery are Of daily occurrence in Ha-
vana, prompted in every case by want
and hunger.

PLAY POINTERS.

As a general thing, the relations be-
tween dramatic critic and theater man
ager, are of the most cordial nature.
The critic is indebted to the manager
for countless favors in the way of the
alter seats and other courtesies, and in
return strives to make his reports of
the others attractions as favorable as
he conveniently can, in order to boom
the managers receipts. Every critic is
always far more eager to write a fay-
orable criticism than the reverse, and
his managerial friends constant re-
quest to BE sure and use us right to-
night, is very apt to fall on good
ground.
That this custom of unduly MAGNIFY
ing virtues and CLOSING over faults is
really injudicious and not infrequently
recoils to the disadvantage of all con
cerned, is often eXemplified, and never
more pointedly than in the case of the
unfortunate Chorus Girl" at the
Worcester theater, last week. This
piece, as those who saw it viii readily
acknowledge, was as bad as 1t well
could he Yet at its initial production
last spring at the Boston Museum. the
press notices We're unanimously favor
able-not warmly enthusiastic, to be
sure. but still commendatory-and they
helped to keep the piece on for some
three or four weeks. The newspaper
mems friendship for the manager and
their unwillingness to expose him to
pecuniary loss, led undoubtedly to this
leniency. for Boston critics know a
good play when they see it-and poor
one.

LOTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE
"A SPRING CHICKEN.

There is much interest in the appear
ance Of Edgar Selden's latest farcical
success this week at Lothrop's.. The
author of "A Hot Old Time" and NC
Kenna's Filtration" has proved his
claim to genius in the line Of creating
comedies as tickled thousands can tes-
tify.
The new piece promises as well as its
predecessors. judging from its story.
