the spaniards In battle, about 1000 Of them TO

and drove them like sheep. They had some

HOBSoN CONGRATULATED.

Commodore Hichborn Hopes He VIII
Remain With the Construction Corps.
Commodore Hichborn, chief con-
structor Of the navy, sent the following
letter recently to the hero of the Merri-
mac at Santiago:
"Now that You have safely passed the
dangers OF your perilous undertaking,
1t is with great pleasure that / extend
to you my sincere congratulations ON
your heroic conduct at Santiago. In ap-
proving your request for assignment to
the squadron ] expected that you would
prove valuable acquisition through
your professional attainments. All OK
pectations have been surpassed, and I
again congratulate you on the perform
ance and the brilliant future before
you. y
Commodore Hichborn, while averse
to being placed in the position of exert
ing any influence in the matter, is ex-
ceedingly anxious that Hobson shall not
be transferred to the line Of the navy,
but shall retain his position in the con-
struction corps, where his remarkable
ability may be utilized to the best in
terests of the service. The young con-
structor, before he joined Admiral Samp-
sons fleet, had already demonstrated his
conspicuous capacity in ship design,
and, while the navy is rich in brave
officers with the increase in the number
OF ships and the strength Of the navy it
is believed that Constructor Hobson has
greater career before him as a con-
structor than as a commander His op-
portunities for impressing his individu-
ality upon the NAVY are thought to be
much greater in the staff than in the
line, and as he has up to this time
given no intimation that he desires
transfer it is not believed that he will
consent to abandoning his profession. -

POPULAR ROUGH RIDERS.
Their High Spirits and Fighting Qualitie,
Unaffected by Poor Fare.

The rough riders are the only volun-
teers whom General Wheeler will al
low to be in the firing line. They are
much liked by the regulars, and Prince
Levien. who is observing tho war on
account of Russia, says that he never
saw men more keen to fight. Their
breakfast the other' morning consisted
of hard tack and water. On that fare
their spirits thrive. The only thing
which can anger those of them who
have been brought up among the COM
forts of city home is such questions
as, Don't you miss your feather bcd?"
With what tobacco and smaller luxu-
ries they eau get they are generous to
all comers. breaking in two last ciga-
rette. The wounded are improving fast,
because, unlike the officers of some
other regiments. the officers of the rough
riders make the condition of the wound
ed personal concern and have the sur
geons report upon it each morning. -

LITERARY ROUGH RIDERS.
Chicago Press Club VIII Go to the Front
II More Men Arc Needed.

AZ 1ioro Men Arc Needed
A regiment of rough riding literary
men will be mustered in il there is a
third call for troops. The Chicago Press
club has declared that the sword is
mightier than the pen by unanimously
agreeing at its meeting the other day to
adopt the regiment Of cavalry formed by
John A. Logan early in the war and
more recently under the command of
Colopel J. Paddock.
The idea of. forming n regiment of
cavalry among the writers, artists and
men of kindred nature originated with
Major Elliot Durand. Major Durand
was one Of the first to join Logan's
troops, and when the latter abandoned
the regiment the major, being an old
newspaper man and member Of the
Press club, thought it would be good
idea to give, the men of pencils and
paste chance to show their patriotism
in material way and suggested to
Colonel Paddock that the regiment be
turned over to the Press club and be nam
cd the Chicago Press Club Rough Rid
ers. The matter was brought before the
club at its recent monthly meeting and
a resolution adopting the regiment was
passed amid such enthusiasm as the
Press club has not seen ia many day.
Major Durand was elected lieutenant
colonel. The idea is to have the regi-
ment filled, as nearly as possible, with
members OF the club. Only officers with
acknowledged military ability will be
chosen, and they will be selected from
among the members Of the club SO far
as practicable.
Colonel Paddock, the commanding
officer, is an old regular army man with
a long experience in the west and In
dian fighting. He has been shot score
of times apd is now retired ON full pay
because of physical disability. 1t is said
that no such regiment of soldiers has
ever before. figured in war. Several
members of the club have already en-
listed in the new regiment. Chicago

Grays Played a Ragged;
Game at Rocky Point. 4.
"a a 81
COSTLY ERRORS MADE.
Home Team Could Do Little or
Nothing With Pappalau.
STANDING OF EASTERN LEAGUE.

The loss of yesterdays game at Rocky
Point by, the Grays was due chiefly to
errors, some, OF which were excusable
and others not. Crlsham muffed flies
which were accountable for four of the
runs scored by the Springfields, while
Wiegand's errors addeded two runs to-
the score OF the visitors. The home
team began well and took the lead In
the first inning, though not a run was
scored until two men had been retired.
Ladd was third man up and drew a
base on balls. Crisham and News
cracked out clean hits, and Ladd scored
and then Weigand batted the ball hard
enough to make Reilly tumble the
sphere and the bases were filled
cooney was next at bat and he cracked.
the ball out with all his might, making
a two-base hit and sending three more
runs over the plate. Lcahy was third,
out on long fiy and splendid running
catch by Green.
When the Ponies went to bat Hick-
man struck out Nichols, who was first
batsman up for Springfield, but he gave
base on balls to Doian. Then Cris-
ham muffed Bannon's fly and Massey
singled. Crisham held Green's fly. but
Weigand made a low throw on Gilberts
grounder and Springfield scored two
runs. Hemming pitched and fieided
magnificentIy In the second Inning, but
had hand injured in gripping a hot
liner from Lyons. which retired the
Grays and PappaIau took his place. In
the third inning Crisham gave SPRING
field another start by mufiing Dolan's
fly and then there was a continuous
run OF misjudged flies and hard hitting
by the Ponies and everything was
turned In favor of Springfield.
The Grays could do very little with
Pappalau in the way of effective hit
ting. Canavan scored run on a base
on balls, poor throw by Pappalau
and a long fly I'm the fifth inning. but
they did not hit Pappalau's pitching
safe once until the eighth inning. when
the Ponies already had eleven runs.
Then Ladd got his base on balls a
third time. Crisham and News singled.

A LETTER FROM DR.. REED.
Heard From Once More After a
Silence of Many Months.
WAS IN WINTER QUARTERS
He Was in Good Health at the Time the
Letter Was Sent. Nov. Ia. and
Was Waiting for Spring to
Continue His Journey.

The host Of friends of DIR. j. w. Reed,
the pioneer dentist of Butte and a citi-
gen esteemed by all. will be very glad
to learn that he has been heard from
once more. after a silence of many
months. The doctor started for the
Klondike country In August last
during the fall a letter was received
from him showing that he had been in
terrupted in his journey up the Yukon
by the freezing of the river, and would
have to go into winter quarters and wait
until spring to continue the journey.
Since that time nothing had been heard
of him and his family and friends in
this city were naturally filled with
anxiety.
The letter Just received by Mrs. Reed
from the doctor Is dated Nov. Is. That
is a long time back, but the letter shows
that DR.. Reed was in good health and
spirits up to that time and in such COM
Portable quarters that there Is very good
assurance of his getting through the
winter in fine shape. He writes that on
the next day a party was to start for
Juneau and he seized the opportunity TO
send word to his family back in Butte.
But do not think II strange" writes
the doctor. IF you do not receive the
letter in three months"
AS a matter OF fact, il has been more
than four months since the letter was
written that IL was received in this city.
Most OF the doctors letter is of a per-
sonal nature. He is wintering at Fort
Yukon, which is at the junction of Por-
cupine river with the Yukon. His part
ner Is Mr.. Harrington OF the firm OF
Harrington & Smith Of Seattle, a friend
of John Noyes of this city.
w have a very comfortable cabin"
writes the doctor; "a good stove. plenty
OF fuel. 900 pounds of -four and other
provisions in quantities accordingly
The doctor writes that up to the date
of his letter the weather had been very
much like Montana winter weather. The
coolest had been 20 degrees below zero
and there had been IL inche of snow.
About 400 people had come down from
Dawson after provisions. He says that
there is n activity at Fort Yukon. Half
the people are looking for provisions
and the other half do nothing but eat
them.
The days are short and the nights are
long," he writes. Il have heard moth
ing from home since | left, and haven't
seen a in four months. We
have heard nothing Of what Is going on
i'm the world since we sailed from Seat
tie. We are shut out from the entire
world. We have plenty to eat but
scarcely anything to read"
Regarding the gold fields the doctor
writes that he knows nothing except by
hearsay. The reports are that the rich
ness of the Klondike has not been exag-
gerated, but the pay claims so far dis
covered have been taken up. The doc
tor will push on to Dawson as early In
the spring as il is possible to get started.
