The following letter. received yesterday
by Mrs. Grimmeke, whose son Ed is a
member OF Company ID, will prove inter-
estng reading, al 1t contains more de-
tails than any letter from the front yet
brought to the NEWS Office:
On THE BATTLEFIELD, July 6, '90.
Dear Mother:-I am all right yet We
are about one or two miles from Santi-
ago, and ten or twelve miles from where
we landed. One OF our company goes to
the landing place today with the mail.
There was big battle here the day we
landed, and we had to march all night to
get to the field. Our side lost quite lew
men, we met hundreds OF wounded on
the way to the hospital. The dead were
buried on the field.
The negro troops made a splendid rec
ord for themselves. They had driven the
Spanards through the bush and up O
steep hill where they (the Spaniards) had
several cannon planted. The negroes
carried the hill with a charge, driving the
enemy nearly into the town. We arrived
that night and camped at the bottom OF
the hill. About 10 o'clock the Spaniards
charged US and tried to drive US from the
rifle pits, but we were ready tor them, and
they were driven back. They lost about
| 500 men killed, and our men were re-
yenged for the men they lost the day be-
| fore.
The next day they sent flag OF truce
and wanted to leave the town with their
arms and their flag flying. But tbatdon't
gc; we have them hemmed in, and they
will have to surrender or be slaughtered
| They have sent all their women and chill
dren to small town in the rear, and tht

DR. Bobb Heard From

A letter has been received in Calumet
from DR.. Bobb, who is now at Santiago.
The letter was dated on July and
stated that Company d was in the en-
gagement OF the Saturday previous and
that the boys escaped without fatality
which ia considered miraculous consider
ing the tight places they were in and
heavy firing on both sides. The doctor
says that although he had not had his
clothes off in six days he is perfectly wei
aud that the Michigan men are standing
the climate much better than was ex-
pected and that there was lees sickness
in camp than was anticipated. He also
said that the boys were in the best OF
spirits and conducted themselves admir-
able during Saturdays engagement.
The doctor also stated that the sight
Of the battle field after action is some
thing that can never be forced from his
memory, it was so terrible. Company
d is camped on high range OF hills at
the foot OF grove. All members OF the
company are well and are apparently
contented.
This was the only letter OF three written
nv the doctor that reached it's destination.

team contains some good material and
should they do as good work in the
races at the tournament to be held at

Calumets had the faster team in several
events, but owing to mishaps and acci-

first prizes. Chief Schenk will do all In
