laries Monday night, the house breakers
coming in direct contact with the occu-
pants of the houses in which they were.
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Stadler lives at No.
40 Vine street with her three daughters,
some time after midnight, Miss Anna
Stadler was aroused by feeling pressure
on her neck. She at first thought it was
dream and endeavored to turn. The
grasp upon her throat grew stronger, and
she gave frightened scream.
Instantly there was commotion. and
the figure of man darted out of the
room. Mrs. Stadler, who was awak-
ened by the screams of her daughter.
hurried to her room, and in the hallway
the burglar brushed by the mother He
dashed on down stairs, and from there
out of a window and disappeared into the
hight.
investigation showed that the house
breaker bad entered through window
down stairs and had helped himself gem
erously to eatables about the house, He
then went up stairs and secured gold
watch belonging to Miss Anna, and s8 in
money.
| The shock to the young ladies was yery
great, and the experience will not soon
be forgotten.
At Mrs. Kate Knights.
/ 1t was about two O'Clock Tuesday
morning, when Mrs. Kate Knight, who
lives at the corner of Vine and Atlantic
streets, noticed that a light which had
been burning in the hall, was extin-
guished. Mrs. Knight made inquiry of
an aunt if she had put out the light. A
negative answer was received.
Thls aroused the suspicious of Mrs,
Knight and an investigation was made.
She found that the bureaus upstairs had
been ransacked, and Mrs. Knights desk,
where she keeps many valuable papers,
had been overhauled. and the contents
strewn about The pantry had been
visited, and eatables taken, while Mrs.
Knights gold watch had been carried off.
The burglar had made an entrance by
putting up front window, which was
! directly in the glare of an electric light at
the corner. When the fellow made his
exit, he went through window in the
| kitchen.
Sunday Night Robbery.
In addition to the burglary of the
house of Capt. Brunyate, there was
another robbery Sunday night. A bur
glar visited ''Lochwold," the handsome
residence of Oberlin Smith, near East
Lake. fellow there entered the house
by getting in down stairs window, and
made his way up stairs. Entering the
room of a domestic, he found he had
awakened the occupant. He gruffiy
threatened to kill her if she made a
noice, and terrified, the girl did not dare
say word.
The police officers have been notified
} OF each OF the cases, and have made a
} careful inspection of the premises, and
taken down the stories of the victims.
They are absolutely without a single
J clue, and have no suspicious. Careful
work will be required to rid the town OF
these troublesome gentlemen.
: The experiences of these persons
} should have the effect of making people
} extremely careful in closing up theil
homes at night. An unfastened window
} or door is eagerly seized upon by these
burglars and sdeak thieves.

received and show it to have been a
desperate engagement against fearful
odds, In strongly fortified position.
The American troops were drawn into
an ambuscade, and it is remarkable
that the loss of life was not greater.
The American troops acted nobly, un-

The fight was opened by General
Young, who set out early in the morn

MORE TROOPS FOR AE7E.
Second Expedition of 1000 Quitting n,
Santiago.

Washington, June 29.-Orders hav
been issued for the departure of an
other large army expedition from
Tampa, composed of about 5000 men
of the Second division of the Fourth
army corps, under command of Brig
adler General Snyder, and six batter.
les of artillery, three light and three
heavy. The preparations have been
proceeding quietly for some days, aud
although the stores have been going
aboard at Tampa, the rigid censorship
at that point has prevented any word
going out as to the expedition. The
actual departure from Tampa is ex-
pected by the war department to oc-
cur at any moment
The plan of movement has been thor.
oughly determined upon. Twelve
transports are to carry the expedition.
They will move first to Key West, at
which point a strong naval convoy
will meet them and escort the expedi-
tion to Santiago. The warships con-
stituting the naval convoy are not dis.
closed, but they probably will include
one battleship and several cruisers and
auxiliary craft.
General Snyder's Second division of
the Fourth army corps is now at
Tampa, and is made up of three brig
AIDES and nine regiments, as follows:
First brigade, General /. De Russey
commanding, Eleventh United States
infantry; Nineteenth United States in
fantry.
Second brigade, General L. Fl. Car

the support of Captain Capron, who
was getting it hard. At the same time
Colonel Wood and Major Brodie took
the left wing and advanced in open
order on the Spanish right wing. Major
Brody was wounded before the troops
had advanced 100 yards. Colonel Wood
then took his right wing and shifted
Colonel Roosevelt to the left.
In the meantime the fire from the
Spaniards had increased in volume, but,
notwithstanding, an order for general
charge was given, aud with yell the
men sprang forward. Colonel Roose-
welt, in front of his men. snatched a
rifle and ammunition belt from a
wounded soldier, and cheering and
yelling with his men, led the advance
For moment the bullets were singing
like swarm of bees all around them,
and every instant some poor fellow
went down On the right wing, Can
tain McClintock had his leg broken b.,
bullet from a machine gun, while
four of his men went down. At the
same time Captain Luna, of troop f,
lost nine of his men. Then the reserves,
troops X and e, were ordered up. Col
onel Wood, with the right wing,
charged straight at block house 500
yards away, and Colonel Roosevelt on
the left, charged at the same time. Up
the men went, yelling like fiends. and
never stopping to return the fire of the
Spaniards, but kept on with grim de
termination to capture the block house.
That charge was the end. When
within 500 yards of the coveted point,
the Spaniards broke and ran, and for
the first time we had the pleasure
which the Spaniards had been expert
encing all through the engagement, OF
shooting With the enemy in sight.
That the Spaniards were thoroughly
posted as to the route to be taken by
the Americans in their movements to-
ward Sevilla was evident, as shown by
the careful preparation they had made.
/ The main body of the Spaniards was
posted on a hill, on the heavily wooded
slopes of which had been erected two
block houses, fanked by irregular in
trenchments of stones and fallen trees.
At the bottom of these hills run two
roads, along which Lieutenant Colonel
Roosevelt's men and eight troops of
First and Tenth cavalry, with a bat
terry of four howitzers, advanced.
These roads are but little more than
gullies, rough and narrow, and at
places almost impossible. In these
trails the fight occurred
The dead number II, with 35 wounded
and 9 missing. Thirty-seven dead
Spaniards were found in the brush,
and many more are thought to be
there.
