l thought sure my time had come, as the bullets whizzed by me like hail storm and dead and wound ed laying all around me. 1 never lost my nerve, but after the bat tie 1 tainted, as I was over-work- ed-no sleep for two days and nothing to eat but hurd tack.
 l was on. the extreme left of the second set of fours in the skirmish line. was kneeling, when my second Lieutenant said to me "Take steady aim p' when a whiz- zing bullet came over me and caught him in the neck. He died in 30 minutes from the wound. His last words were "Give them Hell, boys" !" We did. We kill ed 11S in one of their trenches and captured 167 of them, in- cluding their yellow flag. It was all the officers could do to keep the men from killing the Spanish prisoners after we had captured them.
 At the battle of Gan Juan the reason so many men were killed and wounded was because they had French sharpshooters in trees who did a lot of damage. We found them after it was too late, and how pitiful they begged for their lives, but they got no mercy from us.
 Of all the men in the army that were wounded, 90 out a 100 only received flesh wounds and are now joining their companies by the hundreds.
 The Spanish bullet is about one- half as large as ours, but every time onr bullets. hit they kill or take a limb off. We killed a good many of them-over 75 per cent more of them killed and wounded than were of us.4 -
 I have had hard, hard time of it so far, wading rivers, being rained on, hard marches, no sleep and hungry half of the time; no clean clothes, no shave, and have gone for. four days without get ting to wash my face. All 1 have on is pair of pants, blue fan nel shirt, pair of heavy brogan shoes and pair of socks that Ihave worn for six weeks. My clothes have not been dry since 1 landed in Cuba, and my body is sore all over from insect bites and poison vines, but will fight as long as I can stand up for my country. I am as happy as June bug on a sweet potato vine.
 To-day at twelve we were all lined up and as far as we could see were our soldiers lined up around the city. The American flag was raised ln the city over a big build ing and 21 guns fired, and then each regiment, gave three cheers for the American flag. All of the bands began to play "The Star Spangled Banner" "Red, White and Blue" and "Amerlca. "' We all had tears in our eyes, so over joyed were we.
 To-day is a day I will never for get. Also the 3rd of July, when Sampson sank the Spanish fleet. Ills big guns would snake the earth we were standing on. We could hear the shots, but could not see the fight.
 On the 4th all of the women and children had to get ont of the city and had to pass our lines. They were pitiful sight. A good many of them sick and the rain pouring down on them.. with nothing to shelter them from it, and nothing to eat made 1t awful We'll, papa, as l am awful hungry, will close.
