the eve of a lady who is both artist and critic. To be sure the wording was vague, but she discerned In 1t a promise of something suited to her talents. Per haps some rich man with a hankering after pictures and only Sundays to devote to the hobby wanted a mentor and guide. Possibly his soul yearned after the art treasures of Milpitas and Rodeo, and he wished to be guarded against amateurish errors of judgment. Certainly there were no recognized art centers to be visited near San Francisco. Yet the subject seemed worth pursuing, and the lady an- swered. Here is the reply she was show ing to friends yesterday:
 Your answer to S917 Examiner received My object Is a good time Sundays afternoon with a good critic, change of people Is nice. Of course there Is nothing In It only fun and travel If you like It. Yours,
 E. NJ ANDREWS, 1510 Kentucky street.

Her husband did not seem to entertain very high opinion of Andrews although he ap- preciated the joke. Publication is made so that the Kentucky street gentleman may have a chance to join in the laugh.

Otis and Majs. Long and Rubin held a
consultation today. regarding the trans

which will go on them. The troops for the

ing capacity has not yet been officially
figured out, but as soon as that has been
DONE the regiments will be designated. I'm
less the accommodations Of the shipe are
very much less than Is thought. and unless

Describing the sharp Brush.

WASHINGTON, July s.-The following
graphic account OF the battle OF La Qua
sina has been received at the war depart
ment.
Camp First u. s. Vol Cavalry, SIX
miles out Of Santiago June 2i.-Dear Gen.
eral: Thinking that line about our fight
and general condition would interest you,
l take this opportunity TO drop you line.
We are all getting along very comfortably
thus far, and find the climate much better
than We expected. Also the country. which.
aside from being awfuily rough and full
OF underground. is rather picturesque and
attractive.
I'VE commenced our advance from our
first landing place on the I'D. and that
night Gen. Young and I. as second In COM
mand Of the Second cavalry brigade. had a
long war talk about taking the very strong
Spanish position about five miles up the
road to Santiago. He decided that he would
make feint on their front and hold on
hard. while was 10 make a detour under
couple OF Cuban guides and take them
: In the flank and try 10 get them out OF their
very strong position, which was in the
Widest and toughest part OF the trail to-
Our little plan worked. I located the
when In position fired on them.
Shortly after / opened on them I could
hear Young on the rsht. The light lasted
over two hours and was very hot and at
close range. The Spaniards used the voley
great deal, while my men fired as individ-
uais. We soon found that instead Of i.5oo
men We had struck a heavy outpost of
several thousand. However TO cut long
story short. We drove them steadily bat
slowly, and finally threw them into flight
Their losses must have been very heavy
for all reports coming ou' OF Santiago say
there are a good many dead and wounded
and that the Spanish had 400 men and two
machine guns. and were under two general
officers. and that the Spanish dead and
wounded were being brought in for six
hours: Also that the garrison was expecting
an assault that night: that the defeated
troops reported that they had fought the
entire American army for four hours, but
compelled by greatly superior numbers. had
retreated and that the army was coming
etc
MY men conducted themselves splendid
ly and behaved ike veterans, going up
against the heavy Spanish line az though
they had the greatest contempt for them
Yours sincerely.
