CHAPTER XI.


TIME American army commanded
by General Shafter captured the
heights of FL Caney on the mem
orable first day Of July, 1898
Upon that day the Rough Riders,
with the First and Tenth Infantry
took San Juan, another suburb of San
tiago de Cuba, after desperate fight
ing, with heavy losses. During
this and the succeeding day the
American fleet, under the command Of
Admiral Sampson, maintained con-
slant bombardment of the Notifications
of the city On July the Spaniards
made a desperate attempt to recap
ture San Juan, but were driven back
The American successes were soon
known in Santiago City. 1t was de-
cided on the evening of July 2 by Adj
miral Cervera, commanding the Span
ish squadron, TO try to escape from the
harbor upon the following day. What

America failed to think of the glorious

Binnie knew nothing Of these events.
lowering between life and death, he
was constantly attended by Julia and
dawn of freedom from Spanish OPP
preston in Cuba was clouded by her
deep sorrow at the danger of Binnie.
Two weeks passed before the surgeon
would say that Binnie had a chance 10
recover. Then, a few days later. when
Binnie's strength seemed to be grow
ing, an order was sent out that he
should be moved as soon as possible
to the high hills beyond the fever
stricken region about Santiago. The
city had been surrendered to General
Shafter by General Toral, but Binnie
was unconscious of what was going on
around him. The Cubans were not
pleased because the Americans per-
mitted the Spanish officers in Santiago
TO control the civil government for the
time. Many Cubans had withdrawn
10 a distance and there was danger
that they might oppose by force the
American soldiers and start a guerrilla
warfare. When General Shafter heard
that Julia would accompany Binnie as
q nurse, he sent to have her come to
his tent. He had work for her

shouted the ticket man.
Il guess I'll buy one," said person
near by, and the boys saw the man Of
the circus tent.
II am never too poor to see the great
est thing in the world. What do you
say to buying tickets, fellows? I have
some money left" impulsively declared
James.
The boys agreed. On entering the
tent they were surprised to see only a
tall man dressed as Uncle Sam, seated
at a table on a raised platform. Be-
fore him lay a mallet and cup. At one
side was long white line marked on
the hard ground and opposite was an
other like it.
II don't call this the greatest thing
in the world angrily remarked Louis
to the man who stood near by.
THAT is because you do not under
stand the fundamental principles. Now
this man." pointing toward Uncle Sam,
''is simply the umpire. If you wish
to earn handsome medal deposit fifty
cents in that cup. Try to jump from
one line to the other. If you don't sue
coed your money is returned. If you
do, you are rewarded"
This seemed fair enough and the boys
each put fifty cents in the cup. James
and Louis were first to try, stepping
back a few PAGES and measuring the
distance. They ran forward and
vaulted into the air. James touched
the line, but Louis went far teyond
it, and on asking for his reward James
was handed only a pasteboard medal,
while Louis received souvenir.
$50 this is the way you treat people
who win fairly I reached the line,
while Louis went beyond it,
Well" replied Uncle Sam, 81 only
did him justice, and while many may
earn pasteboard medals, if you would
win one of value, jump beyond the line
Try again.
But they did not. No, they left at
once and the man they remembered
longest was he who, dressed as Uncle
Sam, had "umpired the game"
