The Spanish losses must have been
frightful, as they were exposed to a ter
rife fire for a quarter of an hour. The
losses on the American side were light,
as our soldiers lay behind trees and
had every advantage.
Even after capturing Ell Caney and
San Juan and advancing upon Aqua
dores, the work of the Americans was
not done. 1t was necessary to hold
these positions against any sortie. I'm
less reinforcements arrived at once the
men would be well-nigh exhausted by
their difficult work and unprepared for
any assault by the Spaniards. 1t was
this precarious condition that existed
on July 8, when the country was grave
ly alarmed by Skaters dispatches
There was cause for alarm, not under
standing the desperate straits in which
Linares was, but there was no justifi-
cation for the criticism Of Gen. Shafter
which was INDUCED in. His work was
we'll done, and he deserves nothing but
the highest praise. Subsequent de-
velopments soon proved these facts.

and big brown stone houses are prosy

such that we had determined our ride,
but rather for green fields and running

had said In the beginning.
At the Belle Isle bridge we stopped

there the trees were fewer and the

was quite like Phyllis, or any other girl

At the bridge the city houses stopped
and of an instant we seemed to shoot
into the country. AS we left the as
phalt, burning in the suns rays, and
came out upon a mile or two of more
plebeian cedar block we both filled
our lungs with breath that seemed
to be fresher than the others we had
taken, and Phyllis said, ITO think a

And then began the ride proper, the
ride to which we had looked forward.

TAKING FORT SAN JUAN
Description of the Battle That Preceded the
Surrender of Santiago de Cuba-The
Spaniards Fought Like Demons.

Lawton's division bivouacked for the
night near Ell Caney without fires. At
Z o'clock in the morning they were re-
enforced by Capt. Capron's battery, I'M
der Gen. Wheeler. Firing began at
once. Promptly the Spanish answered
the challenge from their forts and
trenches. Grimes battery. coming up,
opened on the Spanish troops to the
right.
The common powder used by our
troops smoked. and was a fine target for
the Spanish field battery, which was
served by Admiral Cervera's marines.
The accuracy Of the aim was remark
able. While our smoke gave the enc
my our range, Grimes could not locate
the enemy's guns, which used smoke
less powder, except approximately. But,
satisfied as to the Spanish position, our
men worked like mad. The Spanish
fire gradually slackened, and in less
than an hour 1t ceased altogether.
After that only one aggressive move
was made by the Spaniards. 1t re-
suited in defeat, and they abandoned
Ell Caney. At about 10 o'clock the
enemy dashed straight for the Ameri-
can lines. In one or two places our
men fell back from their position, but
quickly rallied and drove the enemy
back pell-mell into their own bitches.

matter what selection is sung by the

notes are followed, the singing is al
