ROUGH RIDER HOME.
Dave Ludy of Newton Says Assault
on San Juan Was a Mistake.

Newton, Kan, Sept. 5.-Dan I.udy is
rough rider in Colonel RooseveIt's
famous regiment, and he says that the
charge of San Juan hill, now so memor-
able, which prefaced the Santiago cam
paign, and in which so much glory came
to the rough riders was all mistake
in orders. Ludy is an old Santa F7e
employe, and was formerly stationed
here. He is now at the home of his
brother near Emporia, and is telling
just how the mix-up in orders occurred.
1t is an interesting story.
Ludy belonged to troop E of the
riders. Before San Juan, on the July
morning, several companies of regulars
were employed at the front to recon
noiter. Orders were given for certain
companies, of which company E. First
regular cavalry, was one, to go forward
and relieve those in front. Ludy was
in company E, First volunteer cavalry.
His captain, Muller, heard the order
to the regular company and gave it to
his own men, hastily, and the company
of riders started the chase which ended
in planting the flag on San Juan hill
Other rough rider companies followed;
the First, Tenth, Ninth, Twenty-fourth
and other regular regiments rushed
madly after the rough riders, and the
hill was stormed and taken
Ludy three times seized the guidon
of his troop from carriers who had fall
en-, and as many times had it taken
from him, so great was the coveted
honor of being the first to place the
stars and stripes on the famous hill.
Just as Ludy was about to reach the
summit, however, his captain took the
guidon and planted it in the hill top.
Ludy is satisfied to know, however,
that it was his company guidOn which
was first, even though he had not the
honor of placing it there.
Trooper Ludy was his company's
cook, and while in rendezvous at San
Antonio, Texas. before embarking for
Cuba, he had as an assistant the young
New York millionaire and hero, Hamil-
ton Fish, who fell in the fight at Quasi
mas. Ludy says he was bright, CHEEKY,
companionable and well liked by his
comrades. Ludy is now here in Kan
sas to recover his health, Camp Wikoff
having proved too hard on him after
the campaign and the return voyage to
Montauk. He will report in thirty days
to Fort Riley.

M'INTYRE MUST ANSWER
To a Court Martial for Criticism of
Sampson and Evans.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Ever since the
printed reports of the sensational ut
terances of the naval chaplain. Joseph
Mcintyre reached the navy department
the officials have been making a quiet
inquiry into the accuracy of the news
paper publications. The chaplain, who
was attached to the Oregon and was
on board when the battle of July was
fought was accredited with some saw
age criticism of Admiral Sampson, Cap
tain Evans and various other officers of
the American fleet, insisting that to the
officers and men of the Oregon alone
belonged the victory achieved over the
Spanish squadron He was particularly
severe on Captain Evans, whom he
charged with cOwardice.
Apparently the navy department has
now satisfied itself that the chaplain
really uttered the language ascribed to
him, for it has ordered his trial by
court martial on charges of making
utterances to the prejudice of good or
der and discipline and unbecoming an
officer. The chaplain is now on leave
of absence in Denver.

BRYAN WANTS TO QUIT.
Sickness is Taking Hold OF the
Men in Florida.

Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 5.-Governor HoI-
corob has, wired the war department
with reference to having something done
for the Third Nebraska regiment, pet
ter known as the silver battalion. There
is much alarm in the state over the
condition of Col. Bryan's regiment.
There has been in three weeks an IN
crease in the sick list from "A to 14l.
There have been three deaths and alto
gether the members of the families rep
resented by the Third are very much
alarmed.
Governor Holcomb asks the secretary
of war to give all the Third recruits
who desire to come home an honorable
discharge since there can be nothing
more to do but garrison duty. Colonel
Bryan, too, wants to get back and take
part in the fall campaign. He wires
that he does not want to resign if his
regiment can be mustered out at once,
but otherwise he will resign as there IS
no further need of his presence in the
army Bryan wires the governor each
dav to report of the condition of the
Third regiment.
Many members of the company are
writing letters to their friends mere.
They all declare that they want to be
sent to Cuba to do garrison duty In
preference to remaining in camp much
longer. The men are getting worse
daily and many of the strongest soldiers
in the regiment are now unable to get
around because of the enervating effect
of the disease to which they are sub
jected.
HoIcomb proposes to demand in Wig
orous terms a change of some kind for
the Third. He declares that they must
either be mustered out or removed to a
more healthy climate at once before
the men all die. Throughout the state
there is a demand that the boys be sent
home and the fusion forces are loud in
their declaration that Col. Bryan be
sent home that he may take part IN the
campaign, that is now approaching.

Sent Through the Mail Nearly
Causes Death
Of Three PersOns-One Will
Probably Die Yet.
LIKE DUNNING CASE.
Three Separate Packages OF
the Liquor
Mailed on Different Days, All
Contain Poison.
LIKE DUNNING CASE.

New York, Sept. 5.-John Hills, a
well-to-do dealer of "a Second street,
his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Mary
Conlin, have been poisoned by whisky
that had been sent through the mail
to the house. Miss Conlin probably
Will die from the effects of the drug
which was used. The case in many
respects is similar to the poisoning of
Mrs. Dunning and Mrs.Deane by means
of candy sent through the mails two
weeks ago.
Mrs. Hills received by mail last Tues
day small package which contained
a bottle about four inches high bearing
a whisky label She received a second
and similar package on Wednesday,
and in that found another small bottle
labeled a different brand of whisky.
She received third package on Friday.
1t was larger than the others and a bot
tie which had evidently contained toilet
water. Mr.. Hills, his wife and sister
in-law were at home last night when
Mrs. Hills thought of the liquors and
told her husband of them. There was
just enough liquor in the bottle to
give to each one an average sized
drink. 1t was pronounced good whisky
when the three had each tasted it.
The three persons became afflicted
with a strange illness within half an
hour after drinking the whisky and
their symptoms becoming alarming, Mr..
Hills, whose powerful frame withstoOd
the attack better than the women, ran
to DR.. Leyendecker, who expressed the
opinion that they were suffering from
a powerful poison, either atrOpine or
belladonna. DR.. Leyendecker summon
ed assistance and also notified the po-
lice, and after a while Mr.. Hills and
his wife were pronounced out of danger.
Miss Conlin, the doctor said, would
probably die Mr.. Hills says he has no
enemies and the police are at sea.
