The question has repeatedly been asked
whether or not settler on public lands
was required to remain on the land after
residence of five years in order TO prove
up. The commissioner of the general land
office says: "A residence upon the home
stead is not required after the expiration
Of five years as prerequisite of obtain
ing patent 10 the land, nor does a change
of residence after that period forfeit
right already required He also holds
that proof and payment must be made
a. the same time, so that a proof can
not be made at the expiration Of five
years and payment made at the time to
which extensions have been made by acts
of congress.
Sergeant Hunter, writing TO the Guthrie
Leader, after the first days battle at San
iago, says: Captain Houston took COM
mand in Major Brodie's place in the last
hour of the engagement, and his good
Judgment saved us from being cut 10
pieces. Colonies Wood and Roosevelt
were in the fight from start to finish,
and made il a point to be where the fight
was the hottest. The Rough Riders sus-
tained their reputation. Only one of them
was routed, and that one was Adjutant
Hall. He took notion 10 go to the rear
and couldn't stop. The Spaniards had the
advantage in the way OF position and lay
of the country. They were in rifle pits
in block houses and in the road, which
in some places had cuts ten feet deep and
thirty feet wide. I have not yet found
out where the Cuban regiment was, but
think 1t was to the right in the mountains.
