possible, and several of the batteries Of
the ~SDaniards are directly under u
fire. as is Santiago itself.
The incidents attending the death II
Lieutenant Ord, son of the late Gen.
r. O. G. Ord. were dramatic. He was
an aide on the staff of Genera Haw-
kins, and throughout the day of the
battle he was active and energetic IN
getting the troops up the line. He was
right in the front rank when the 9th.
18th, oath and 18th regiments made
their desperate charge or a Juan
hill, and was one of the first officers 20
reach the summit. Just as he passed
h brow of the hill he saw a Spaniard
lying on the ground and. pointing to
him, said: Take care OF that man."
The Spaniard saw the motion, AMI.
evidently thinking the lieutenant was
ordering him killed, he raised his rifle
and shot the lieutenant dead. The SOL
diers of the 9th infantry. as Ord was
an officer of that regiment and very
popular with the men. were wild with
rage and literally tore the body of the
Spaniard to pieces with bullets. Then
they kicked IL into a trench.
The trenches have been deepened n
improved, masked batteries set and
much needed sandbags k to the
front. The army maintains the same
position and formation as when the
battle ceased.
The arrival of General Miles with re-
Inducements are beginning to be looked
for anxiously by officers and men. The
losses have been so heavy and the slow
advance against odds is so dishearten-
ing that all seem willing to settle down
to a siege and abandon the attempt TO
take a fortified city without cavalry o.
adequate artillery. There is every in
dication that General Shafter intends
~ trx, 70 fnrna the anpmv tO come ont
and attack. All the preparations dur
ing the armistice have been toward
strengthening and terrifying the pres
ent position of his army.

James p. Harmon Is Charged With MUIR
der i'm the First Degree.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, July flames p. Harmon who
shot and killed William Noel at Augusta
the night of the Fourth. and who was
exonerated by a coroner's jury on the
ground of "justifiable self-defense." spent
tonight in the county jail after a fruitless
search for 5000 bonds. He has some
warm friends looking for bondsmen and
the probabilities are that they will be
more successful in the northern part OF
the county, where the accused Is better
known.
As announced in to-day's Standard, the
county attorney to-day filed an informa-
ton against Harmon charging murder in
the first degree. The accused came to
Helena on an early morning train unac-
companied by an officer and presented
himself at the sheriff's office. He said he
wanted the matter settled and was will
ing to be tried. He was arraigned and to-
morrow will plead to the information.
The court first fixed his bonds at 0,000,
but afterwards. upon representation OF
his counsel, H.. S. Hepner, Judge smith
reduced Ii to 5000.
Harmon has lived around Augusta IA
years. and is possessed of both property
and friends. He told the Standard re-
porter that he acted purely i'm self-de-
Tense. He went into a livery stable corral
at Augusta the night of the tragedy.
where Noel and two other cowboys were
roping and saddling their horses prepar-
atory to going home. He offered to assist
them. as there were other horses in the
| corral that he was afraid might be in
jured against some machinery stored
there. His offer of assistance was refused
by Noel with curses and Noel struck him
with a loaded auirt. He grabbed Noefs
arm and they clinched. Noel bit him I'm
the face and then bit his righ thumb.
all the while striking him with the quirt,
which was a regular billy. The two other

| pistols calling to Noel. XIII the -
Harmon says he only fired when he saw
he stood no show against three. He fired
twice and the cowboys rode away firing
at him. As soon as he saw what he had
done he hunted up a constable and gave
himself up. A large confusion on his
face and a bad wound on his thumb bears
out part of his story He denies that there
was any old grudge between himself and
the deceased.

Hobson.

EYOND a doubt. Hobson will take
tx a prominent place as one of the
heroes to be pointed to with
pride. What he did was picturesque;
his manner of doing it was a revelation
of bravery Of the highest type.
BY and by. when this war is ended
and public opinion is less ELUSIVE, 1t
will occur to all of us, as a sober second
thought, that. as for results. The
game In his case was hardly worth the
candle. That is not Hobson's fault, of
course: but the sinking in the entrance
TO Santiago harbor of a collier blockade
that was simply no blockade at all, is a
diletante incident that served its useful
purpose. so far as public opinion is con-
cerned, at a time when we really weren't
in shape to do anything very serious in
front of Santiago.
At any rate. the Hobson exploit was a
popular affair-the most was made OF
II. The administration shouters wanted
II marked down right off as a match
for the memorable performance Of Cush-
ing. who blew up the Albemarle. There
may be those who in these fervent days
are persuaded that the claim thus set
up for the Hobeon adventure is well
sustained-history certainly will not
write it that way. Nevertheless, all
honor to Hobson; he did a plucky thing:
he did It like a stout-hearted hero.
The Hobson affair occurred a little
-. ,han a month ayn Hohson Is a ma
val constructor. His superior officers con-
cluded that it would be a good scheme
TO cork the bottle-to shut Cervera in
by sinking a craft in the harbor's en-
trance. The boat chosen was the Mer-
rimac. formerly an English collier for
which the government at Washington
paid. so it lis alleged. a suspiciously high
figure. In broad daylight, on June 3,
Hobson and seven other men courage
ously ran the Merrimac right under the
fire Of the Spanish forts guarding the
harbor and sank her there. From the
foundered craft Hobson and his little
band found flight impossible in any di-
rection except straight into the arms OF
the enemy.
This display Of personal courage chal'
Ienged the admiration of Cervera who
held the men as prisoners. Finally
as described this morning. an exchange
of prisoners was arranged which re
turned Hobson 10 our ships along a line
OF march which the enthusiastic cheers
Of our soldiers and sailors made a tri'
umphal procession.

ROYALTY ENTERTAINED.
The People of Honolulu Give the Troops
"a Warm Welcome.

Honolulu, June %, via San Francisco,
July THE steamship hin of the
Manila transport fleet reached here
from San Francisco the morning of the
23d, one day ahead of the other YES
sells of the fleet. The steamship re-
ceived a warm welcome from the large
crowd of people on the wharf. Briga-
der General Green Immediately sent
an adjutant to the wharf with compli-
ments to United States Consu General
Haywood. President Dole, who was on
the wharf, conveyed them to the con-
sui. At 2 o'clock the soldiers were al
lowed ashore and marched to Walk.
where the men took a sea bath: then
marched to town and at 2 o'clock were
provided with a feast on the executive
building grounds. This function was
carried out precisely on the lines of
the first expedition. the ladies waited
on the table and the officers were enter
tanned at army headquarters. There
was an abundance of refreshments for
everybody.
At $3.50 O'Clock the same day the Yea
landia, Colon and Senator were sighted.
1t was quite late when the vessels
reached the harbor. At midnight all
anchored for the night. The men land
ed the mex day and were entertained
by the citizens of Honolulu. The eX-
petition started for Manila at 2:40
o'clock. The Monterey and collier Bru-
tus arrived from San Diego on the oath.
They left the latter part of the 18th.
The Monterey experienced a heavy
Northwest swell nearly all the way,
and ran under her own steam until the
18th. hen the Brutus took her in tow
for several days. The Monterey re-
coaled and was ready for sea yesterday
