strengthened early IN the day by the
Twenty-fcst infantry frona Pearson s
Second brigade. This regiment had been
detached by General Kent to assist
Hawkins, but owing to the crowded
road had not got into position in time to
charge with the Sixth and Sixteenth.
However, it lost under the fire at the
creek and also in ascending the hill
close upon the heels of the other regi-
ments.
Meanwhile what of the crest south
west of the blockhouse, the region
which seems to have been most easy for
attack by the Spaniards? Kent's Second
brigade, under Pearson, as before stated,
had orders to rest it's left upon green
knoll on the same ridge with block
house 900 yards south. With that Pear
sons orders stopped. When this bri-
gade, consisting of the Second and
Tenth, crossed the creek. the fire had
somewhat abated. Still the battle was
roaring ON the right and men were drop
ping all around. Wikof was lying dead
in the bed of the stream. In order to
advance it was necessary to break the
line into columns Of fours. The water
was two to three feet deep aed the
banks lined with thick brush. Entering
the field, the column was struck by a
heavy fire, but it swept on, passing San
Juan blockhouse on the left of Wikof's
and Hawkins troops, driving the Span
iards from hill to hill to their trenches
over the crest. Taking position on the
crest at q distance varying form 400 to
!, 200 yards from the advanced Spanish
trenches and batteries, the brigade held
out against terrible fire. The men lay
down under the shelter Of the crest and
fred steadily, not having time to in
trench.
The experience Of Pearson is an e1-
ample of the complications that may
impel subordinate to anticipate his
chief. After the brigade had established
itself on the front lire, TO the left OF
tie captured blockhouse, one Of Kent's
aids came up with an order to Pearson
e. make the very move he had already
carried out. During the day Kent had
modified his original orders to Pearson.
II is Of course impossible to depict
the condition of the troops in the line
when night closed in. Words fail to ex-
press It. The heat was awful; the men
were soaked through and through; they
had had no food since morning and no
prepared meal then and had none that
night, excepting in few cases where
packs were brought up from the bed of
the creek on the shoulders Of already
vornout soldiers. The ground was very
hard, being composed in some places of
calcareous rock. There was no grum-

bling, no depression of spirits, only de-
termination to hold on, and a wish for
support, although, while they did not
know it, there was none TO give them.
All the infantry and cavalry were on
the front line and the only help to- be
looked fer was she coming of Lawton
down the Ell Caney road to threaten the
Spaniards on the unprotected side OF
Santiago.
Lawton moved up, it's true, but not
until after midnight and then unseen by
the Spaniards, until he reached their
pickets, about 600 yards from the right
of the cavalry line on the crest, as be-
fore stated. There he halted, and sent
back to Shafter for renewal Of orders
Calls for support for the troops In
trenched on the San Juan ridge had, OF
course. reached Shafter at various times
during the afternoon and evening of the
1st, and he told Lawton that as things
stood the quickest way to get in position
in aid of Wheeler;s line was to counter
march to the crossroads southwest of Ell
Caney and come back to Ell Poso, thence
to San Juan ridge.
Nothing definite has yet been made
known as to the strength Of the Span
iards on San Juan ridge. The garrison
of Santiago is placed at 10000 before
the much talked of Pando's column
reached there. 1t would have been pos
sible to have sent half the garrison or
more from the main trenches to San
Juan ridge after it was apparent that
the Americans were to attack there IN
force. Why it was not done only the
Spanish generals can explain. A French
officer in the Spanish service told one of
his coun1rymen in the Third cavalry
that the Spaniards were amazed at the
persistency of the Americans IN push
ing forward against San Juan ridge in
the face of the pitiless fire which was
poured at them at the crossing and
while ascending the slopes. He also said
that when the Spanish troops were
driven over the crest of the ridge the
men in their second line had to hold
their IRE for fear of killing friends, and
that that resulted in demoralizing them
quite as much as those driven out Of the
front trenches were demoralized by be-
ing compelled to beat retreat; hence
there could be no attempt at coun-
| ter charge, just at the time when it
| would be more effective-that is, at the
very moment of American success. It is
| well known to fighting men that the
very moment Of success and high exul-
! tation is the most dangerous for the as
saulting column. Strength is exhausted
in the effort to take a position, but once
the victors have time to get breath and
come to full realization that the posi-
tion is theirs they will die in their
tracks before giving it up. Every mo-
ment that the Spaniards delayed coun-
ter attack On San Juan ridge made the
Americans so much stronger.

FISHING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Malay race is probably the most
sldllful in fishing, and the Philippine
Islanders are not behind the other
branches. The illustration shows one
Of the fayorite ways OF catching fishes
which run along the bottom OF rivers,
bays and arms OF the sea. It consists OF
raft ranging from twenty to sixty
feet in length and from eight to twen-
ty feet in width. AT the rear part or
stern there is platform, and on It a
little house in which the fishermen
doze during the heat OF the day and
sleep at night. In the middle Is a
small furnace in which they do their
cooking and a jar in which they put
fine fishes and a tank through which
the water moves where they store their
catches. In the bow is a cumbrous but
ingenious drop net mechanism. II con-
sists of two long and strong poles fas-
tened to the raft on axles and by a
rope at the upper end Of the two, which
here touch each other, running
down a windlass in the stern
sheets. To the top OF this jury mast
are fastened two enormous bamboos,
crossed in the middle and bent so as TO
form semi-circles. The four ends OF
the bamboos are connected by a great
bag net, ranging from twelve to forty
feet square. When used the fishermen
throw lot Of bait into the big net and
lower the arrangement by loosening
the windlass and permitting the rope
to unwind. The masts rotate forward
upon their axles and the net sinks un-
oil 1t lies upon the bottom OF the water.
The fish, attracted by the bait, are soon
crowding around the centre OF the net.
The windlass is slowly turned, which
raises the bamboos, then the rope con-
Meeting the ends and last OF all the
centre of the net. by the time the fish
are alarmed the ropes have passed the
waters edge and escape is impossible.
With this ingenious mechanism FISH
ing smack will often take a thousand
pounds OF fish In a single cast-New
