June %. p. m.-The tidings Of the first
land fight in which the American soldiers
took part in Cuba was quick to reach the

Baiquiri, thence to the cruisers and bat

interest aroused by the fighting was very
great, and the almost universal query was,

Speaking of Captain Capron, who had

He was one of the most accomplished Off

The wounded were being brought down the

TO LEAVE CHICKAMAUGA.
Fifteen Regiments Ordered in Read
iness to Depart From Camp
Thomas for Cuba

CHICkAMAUGA PARK, GA, June e.
1t is no longer question that large force
of troops Is about to be ordered from Camp
Thomas to the front. An order was issued
by command of Major General Brooke to-
day which virtually amounts to an order
for the movement Of fifteen regiments to
Cuba.
In accordance with this order the First
division of the First corps and two bri-
gades of the Second division of the same
corps will form an expeditionary force, ard
are ordered to be Immediately prepared
and equipped for active field service.
The following brigades are included in
this order:
First brigade, commanded by General Ear
nes. and composed of the Eighth Massa-
chusetts. Third Wisconsin and Fifth Illi-
nois Second brigade. commanded by General
Sanger and composed of the Fourth Ohio,
Third Illinois and the Fourth Pennsyl-
vania: Third brigade. commanded by Cen
eral Wiley. and composed of the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania. Second Wisconsin and First
New Hampshire: Second division. First
corps. First brigade, commanded by Colonel
Gardner. and composed of the Thirty-irst
Michigan, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indi-
ana and First Georgia; Second brigade,
commanded by General Mckee. and COM
posed of the First West Virginia, One
Hundred and Fifty-eighth Indiana and
Twelfth New York.
The order does not specify just when
these troops will go forward, or to what
point they will be sent for embarkation.
but it is understood that they will go to
Tampa for direct departure for Cuba
That the order means an almost imme-
diate move was signifed by the general
rush this afternoon. The ordnance depart
ment received large stores, including
Springfield rifles and other equipments suf-
ficient to complete the fitting out OF twenty
regiments AS soon as these stores arrived,
they were rushed to the various regiments
for which they were intended.
The order was received with enthusiasm
among all the regiments affected by it. In
some of the camps the widest sort Of en-
thusiasm was manifest The desire to go
to the front appears to be equally manifest
among all the troops. and. accordingly. the
regiments to remain in camp feel sense
of disappointment that they were not in
cluded in to-day's order.

tain Capron when the latter was mortally
hit. He had seen that he was fighting
against terrible odds. but he never finched.
'Giye me your gun a minute he said to
the sergeant. and, kneeling down, he de-
liberately aimed and fired two shots in
quick succession. At each Spaniard was
seen to fall. Bell, in the meantime, had
seized dead comrades gun and knelt be-
side his captain and fired steadily. When
Captain Capron fell, he gave the sergeant
a parting message to his wife and father
and bade the sergeant good-by in cheer
full voice and was then borne away, dy-
ing.
Sergeant Hamilton Fish, Jr.. was the
first man killed by the Spanish fire. He
was near the head of the column as it
turned from the wood road into the range
of the Spanish ambuscade. He shot one
Spaniard, who was firing from the cover
of dense patch of underbrush, when a
bullet struck his breast. He sank at the
foot of a tree, with his back against it.
Captain Capron stood over him shooting.
and others rallied around him, covering the
wounded man. The ground this afternoon
was thick with empty shells where Fish
lay. He lived twenty minutes He gave
a small lady's hunting case watch from his
belt to a messmate as last souvenir.
Buried on the battlefield.
With the exception of Captain Capron.
all the rough riders killed in yesterdays
fight were buried this morning on the field
of action. Their bodies We're laid In one
long trench, each wrapped in blanket.
Palm leaves lined the trench and were
heaped in profusion over the dead heroes
Chaplain Brown read the beautiful Epis-
copal burial service for the dead, and, as
he knelt in prayer, every trooper, with
barred head, knelt around the trench When
the chaplain announced the hymn, Near
er. My God to Thee" the deep bass voices
of the men gave most impressive render
ing of the music.
The dead rough riders rest right on the
summit of the hill where they fell. The
sight is most beautiful. A growth of rich.
luxuriant grass and flowers covers the
Slopes ana from the top far reaching
view is had over the tropical forest Chap
lain Brown has marked each grave, and
has complete records for the benefit of

Captain Capron's body was brought into
Juragua this afternoon, but it was deemed
inadvisable to send the remains north at
this season. and the interment took place
on hillside near the seashore, back of
the provisional hospital. After a brief serv-
ice. parting volIey was fired over the
