 was shot through both shin bones Or n average the men in the regulars column fired little short of ten rounds each. This was due to the fire dis cipline. In the fire discipline men are taught when to fire, to fire al the enemy only, under certain circum. stances, and the number of rounds tc
 fire for a given purpose. Unlimited fir ing is permitted only at the supreme moment. Seldom is there firing at will
 The story of the ambush of the rough riders was started by an adjutant of the regiment, who lost his head during or before the battle and rushed back to Siboney, where he spread fearful tales of ambush and slaughter, stating that Colonel Wood had been killed. This man had formerly been a regular officer and was soon disposed of after the bat tie. In point of fact, as soon as Colonel Wood reached the top of the hill over which the trail ran he threw out an advance guard and took every precau- tion against surprise Owing to the dense bush, reconnoitering was diffi- cult. At 7:10 a. m. his advance piokets saw signs of the enemy. The line was then deployed in skirmish order and began to advance carefully.
 Firing began immediately. The Span- ish line was long. Wood deployed an- other troop on the right and left to ex- tend his line. Still the Spanish over Tapped both Hanks Two more troops were deployed. on the Hanks. Firing was heavy at short range, and on Cap ain Capron's front was terrific Capron was mortally wounded Finally Wood brough. up his last reserved troop The whole line advanced slowly, but steadily, forcing back the enemy's right The Spaniards were driven from their strong position among the rocks They took position 800 yards in the rear. Woods line advanced, and the battle again became heavy. For a short time the Spaniards north of the road. in front of the regu- lars, enfiladed Woods line. The right troops of Woods line turned their fire against them. This spirited assault of the regulars in front caused the evacua- tion of the north end of the ridge The junction of the rough riders and the regulars was then complete, and it was running fight until the Spaniards were beyond range
 Major BfSdie of the rough riders was shot through the arm while on the fir ing line. Captain McClintock had both bones of his leg broken on the firing line. Lieutenant Thomas of Captain Capron's troop was shot soon after the fall of the captain.

where he could point out to them the | Spanish line, the main road leading tC 1t, the general direction of the trail over the high hill and approximately the | junction of the road and trail which was to be the junction of the rcugh riders and the regulars column at ihe supreme moment of battle
 As the rough riders had a difficult hill to climb, General Young gave them more time than he did the regulars. The squadron of the First regulars, un- der Major Bell, had the advance, that of the Tenth, Major Norvel, moving in support Captain Galbraith's troop of | the First was to occupy the high ground between the regulars and rough riders and make connection between the two columns at the same time.
 While waiting 20 minutes for the rough riders to gain time, General Young placed two Hotchkiss guns in sight of the Spanisrds to draw their fire. Mean while General Wheeler reached the front, and General Young asked if he had any changes to suggest or orders to give. He called attention to General Young's violation of rules in dividing forces in the face of the enemy. General Young said that he had thought of that, but in view of the situation assumed the risk. General Wheeler had nothing further to say. Then the Hotchkiss guns under Captain Watson opened fire, one at 1, 900 yards and one at 900. Finally the range was calculated at $50. The squadron of the First immediately ad. vanced, but the troops couldn't keep touch owing to the dense chaparral. h order to reach a ground where they could advance in line 1t was necessary to get within 500 or 600 yards in front of the Spaniards on a plain under view of the enemy.
 The first shell of the Hotchkiss gun was answered by a volley from the Spanish. Having fought the Cubans on that ground, they had perfected their range. 4 few moments after the firing began General Young heard firing away of to his left, and seeing that the ad- vancing regulars didn't answer it he concluded that it was directed against Woods column, that Wood was up and engaged,
 General Wheeler became uneasy when be saw that the advancing regulars did not return the Spaniards' fire. Young told him that their silence was due to fire discipline. The regulars were not to pure, but to advance and secure cover. The Spanish fire became so hot Young ordered the Hotchkiss guns under cover. This had the effect of stopping the Span ish fire. In few minutes the Hotchkiss guns opened again. Captain Mills re- turned from the chaparral in front and reported to Young that the regulars were advancing and getting cover. Ma jor Bell, leader of the squadron of the First, in advance, was instructed to push forward and get under the cover of the hill occupied by the Spanish, a point 800 or 400 yards on their front.
 The regulars had to crawl through the undergrowth and to cut wire fences. They had wire nippers, one to every five

men. Shortly the regulars could be seen ascending the difficult hill General Wheeler intimated to Young that he was overmatched. His three troops of the Tenth cavalry were close up in sup port of the First There was only one troop held in reserve. General Young called WheeIer's attention to the firing on Woods line, which indicated that Wood was advancing as fast as the reg ulars. General Young said to Wheeler that he bad thu utmost confidence In success. Captain WaiDright's troop of the First was off on the extreme right of the regulars. following a road north of the main road which would turn the Spauish left. Woods advance would turn the Spanish right. It seems from reports of General Young's aids that "a SDanish Hsnks vvera turned slmul- taneousIy. ana me SpaSiards retreated in A rout Captain Beck's and Captain Galbraith's regular troops formed function with Wood, and then the line of hattie was continuous from end to end. from Wainright on the extreme right to the left of the rough riders
 The fight lasted about 1 hour and go minutes from the time the Hotchklss gun first opened until the Spanish Hanks were turned. There was some firing for 20 minutes more, but 1t all ended at 9;45 A. m. General Young sent orders ID the line not to follow the Spaniards- The day was very hot. His men were very tired and were wet through from a heavy rain that had fallen the night be- fore The line was rearranged in the ex- pectation of a counter attack.
 The Spanish largely outnumbered the Americans at Las Guasimas Their pa pers boasted that ?, 500 of their men had checked the whole American army. Cubans asserted that the Spaniards numbered 5000 that day. Other esti- mates placed it at ?. 300. Young's total force was 965
 After the hattie General Young ad- mitted to Wheeler that he (Young) had made one mistake after all He said

Prompt Life Insurance Payments.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society, through its local agent, J. 4. C. Freund, today settled its death claim on the policies held by the late Dr. E. W. Dutcher. One policy of Sl,OO0 payable to Mrs. Dutcher was paid, and in addition to the face of the policy she received in dividends Sl4S, or a total of Sl.- 148 on the polIcy for S1,0OO. The other policy was twenty years annual installment policy for S2,5O0 in favor of Egbert K. Butcher, son of deceased, and the first install ment of $125 was paid today. By the terms of this policy the young man will receive this amount annu- ally for twenty years. As proofs or death were not submitted in this case until after Mrs. Butchers re turn from the east the promptness of he company in paying the claims is certainly very remarkable as well as commendable.

Though the use of seaweed as fer
tilizer is quite common in Great Britain,
its value as such is little known in this
country Its chief element is water, and
on this account, it is said, it is particu-
larly beneficial to succulent crops, as
potatoes asparagus, etc. Potash and
salt are other prominent constituents,
but it is practically destitute of miner
ais, rendering its period of value brief.
1t is necessary that it should be used as
soon as possible after being collected
and may be either spread on the surface
or worked into the soil To get the full
value of the fertilizing elements, how
ever, it should not be exposed on the
surface. The seaweed most commonly
seen ON the New Jersey coast, Fucus
vesiculosus, the one with curious little
inflated bladders between the tissues of
the leaves, is said to be one of the
most valuable. 1t should be effective on
soils naturally dry by reason of the
hygrometrical properties of the salt,
adding moisture to the ground. Nice

wheat bread, buttered and thoroughly
masticated, and one green vegetable.
