THE HAND.
| How the Musicians Played Before the
| Lines at Santiago.

The band which accompanied the 1st
Regiment of the District of Columbia will
ever be memorable in the annals of that
organization. 1t will not only be known
as the regimental band of the list Volun-
teer Regiment of the District of Column
bia, but the history of the campaign be-
fore Santiago can never be written with
out including in the narrative that inspir
ing scene which was only made possible
by these musicians, who, on the 18th of
July, having accompanied the regiment to
the trenches and suffered all the hardships
of soldiers, played the Star Spangled
chorus OF soldiers who sang the inspiring
words of America as their anthem of vic
tory.
The band was mustered into the service
OF the United States June 1, 1898, and left
Washington for Tampa June 3. with seven
teen men, arriving there June 5, at.which
place an additional musician was received.
This was Egbert Hart who was rated as
sergeant, TO act as drum major. More men
could have been detailed for band duty,
but there were no instruments to give
them. The band remained at Tampa with
the regiment until July ., when they went
TO Fort tampa and embarked for Santiago
de Cuba. They disembarked at Siboney in
the afternoon of July II and marched to
camp Fish, where they spent the night.
Oh the following morning a sunrise they
started Tor the firing line, with instruments
ana blankets and haversacks.
Only Hand in the Trenches.
The bands of other regiments had been
left at Sfboney, SO that the 1st District of
Columbia Volunteers had with them the
only musical organization on the firing line
at that time 1t was on the 18th that the
band made itself famous by playing. before
the lines, and as the strains of the grand
old air foated over the trenches Col Har-
rfes waved his sword as a baton and led
the soldiers in singing this patriotic tune.
The air was caught up by the LIST Illinois
and then by the list New York Regiments
and from them spread throughout the
trenches and encircled the doomed city of
Santiago.
While in the trenches the band played
nearly every national air, including Sousa's
The Stars and Stripes Forever" Until
after the surrender of Santiago every men,
Der of the band remained in good health,

Slept in the Mud.

After the LIST District OF Columbia Regi-
ment arrived at the trenches in front of
Santa 80, Company L was detailed with
Company d, On the night of July II, to
help construct new trenches in advance of
the old ones. They worked until 3 o'clock
on the morning of the 18th. When the men
returned to their camp they were thor
oughly exhausted that they laid down in
the mud and water and went to sleep.
There was no shelter for them.
On the 18th, Companies L and E were de-
tailed to go back to La Quasina, to bring
back some of the supplies. Each man came
back with two packs marching through
mud. Company l. barely escaped losing
two men on this trip. The company started
to cross mountain stream which was
greatly swollen by reason of the torrential
rain which had set in. The stream was
just beginning to rise. When Lieut.. Meyer
crossed the water came ~ to his knees
When the company got in the stream it was
up to their waists and was running swiftly
Two of the men were struck by a floating
log, and narrowly escaped being carried
down by the current. The company lost
two of their rifles on this occasion.

But their friends, the enemy suffered like
wise and in a greater degree. The high-keyed
notes Of the Spanish bugies would ever and
anon float up from the valley below them,
while at Santiago, where nearly 12,OG0 pris-
oners were cncamped, each sounding the
funeral dirge of departed soul. In Cuba
they had hourly reminders of their NOR
tally.
There are greater triumphs of courage
than facing the shock of battle the burst
ing shell and screaming bullet. When the
pestiience sta}keth by noon and the terror
by night then is the occasion for exalted
courage in the patient endurance of weary
hours and days. of absent comforts and
comforters. Yet no man of the company
claims to have performed more than his
plain and simple duty, according to his
cath taken under the stars and stripes on
the night of May r. when every one, con-
scious of his certified vigor, stood ready to
leave home, friends, comforts and security
to face a desperate foe and pestilential
cline. They heartily appreciate their well

Buried at Sea.

This son of Maine found his resting place
beneath the waters of the gulf stream
Never did taps from the bugle of Musi-
clan Berry sound SO solemn and strangely
impressive as upon that early August
morning when the ship hove to upon the
bosom of the deep. Adding to the impress
siveness OF the occasion was the fact that
many were lying stricken in the ship and
the company was thankful that there was
no repetition of the sad occasion.
On May IA the company had two men on
the sick list. When they had been in Camp
Wikof a week they had thrty-seven, tw en-
ty-two of whom were confined to their
couches in the general hospital. Two others
are furloughed convalescents. The big
and strong, as well the smaller and
weaker, alike succumbed 10 the common
enemy, the more dreaded because unseen.
People in this favored cline will never ap-
preciate from mere description the Ierrors
Of the days and nights IN that beautiful
deaths valley of San Juan. Men appar-
emily well would, with groan, fall uucDn-
scious to the ground, whence they would
be carried in blanket by their comrades
TO the doctor. Every man had his turn,
from colonel to private. Some recovered
rapidly while others lingered-thin, palor-
faced ghosts of their former selves.

General Wheeler'S denomination,

Without regard TO political atfilia-
tions, the newspapers of the country are
warmly congratulating General Joseph
Wheeler on the exceedingly compliment
airy manner in which he has recently
been hOnored by his constituents of the
eighth congressional district of Ala
bama.
Certainly the tribute which General
Wheeler has received at the hands of
his home people is thoroughly unique
in character, and we feel warranted in
saying that seldom has anything of the
kind ever before occurred in the history
OF American politics. Often have cam
didateS been chosen for high positions
of trust without opposition, but rarely
have they attained to such positions
through the combined suffrages of all
political parties. In the recent primary
election in the eighth congressional dis
trict of Alabama, democrats, republicans
and popuists united in voting for Gen
eral Wheeler, and never didthey exercise
the privileges of the ballot with keener
enjoyment.
On account of his military duties
which kept him continually at the front
General Wheeler was unable to meet his
constituents during the campaign, but
the result of the recent primary election
proves that his constituents were not
Indifferent to his claims AS the hero
OF Santiago, General Wheeler endeared
himself to the heart of the entire ma
tion and there can be little surprise
felt over the tribute Of his unanimous
denomination in the eighth congression-
al district While the tribute is almost
without precedent. it is nevertheless
richly deserved. General Wheeler made
sacrifices for the country's flag IN the
late war which few others made, while
the gallantry with which he fought up
on the field Of battle was unsurpassed.
These considerations amply justify the
esteem in which he is held by the peo-
pie of the country as we'll as Of his own
home district, and they furthermore
warrant The prediction that his brave
services in the hour of the countrys
peril wilI long be held in grateful re-
membrane.
The St Louis Globe-DemOcrat, which
is one Of the strongest republican news
papers in the country, declares that
with the exception of General Washing
ton, who was the choice of all political
parties for the high office of president
Of the United States. General Wheeler is
perhaps the only man who has ever
been hOn0red in such manner for any
high office in the Gift of the people.

Complete Reconciliation.

Richly suggestive of the complete re-
Cancellation which has been accom-
plished between the once divided sec
tons of the country was the offer OF an
escort of Grand Army men to the re-
mains of Miss Winnie Davis. rendered
by Commander Chase, of Sedgwlck POST.
Wakefield r. l., and the acceptance OF
that offer by Mrs. jefferson Davis.
This exquisitely beautiful demonstra-
ton of the spirit of brotherhood when
has at length blotted out the unpleas-
ant memories of the past cannot fall 10
awaken grateful sensations in the heart
of the entire country and to unite the
north and the south in still closer
friendship over the bier of the lamented
Daughter of the COnfederacy.
Happily for the prospects which DECK
on us on to future achievements we
stand together once more united IN the
bonds of common interests as well as in
the ties of common blood, and there IS
no power on the globe which can sue
cessfuly oppose the strength winch
we possess.
