AN INCIDENT OF SAN JUAN.

Lieutenant Berkeley, son.in-law Of
Judge Bland, of Reading, held hill at
San Juan with twenty men in the face
of the Spanish sharpshooters.
The following tale of heroism, pub
lished in the New York Sun, is of spe,
cial interest in Reading;
One of the incidents of the fight at
San Juan was the holding Of one of the
hills in front of it by Lieut.. Hugh D.
Berkeley and twenty men Of troop D.,
lst United States cavalry. Lieutenant
Berkeley is from Virginia and has as a
wife daughter Of Hon. 81. Willis
Bland, of Reading, Pa. About two
O'Clock on July / he and his twenty
men got possession OF crest of hill
with firing front of about 500 yards,
and there they remained until the
evening of the next day, when the First
cavalry was able to go to their assist
ance. They had terrible time Of it.
They could not retire and dared not ad
vance. The Spaniards had the range
on them and shot alarmingly close
every time head showed. Once Lieut..
Berkeley looked up over the crest OF
hill and bullet Kissed near his left
ear. After brief interval he thrust
his head up again and bullet winged
close to the other ear He and his men
endeavored to locate the starting point
of the bullet, and at last determined
that it was big tree some distance
swsy. A yolley was fired at it and two
sharpshooters plunged headlong to the
ground. The danger was averted, but
the Spaniards in front kept banging
away and cutting the crest of the bill
with every bullet. The lieutenant and
his men did as much execution as they
could, but that was not very much.
They had only five pieces of hard tack
for the entire thirty hours they were
there, they had to guard 50O yards of
hill from the enemy, and they were
nearly worn out when their regiment
rescued them Reading pa Times.
Lieutenant Berkeley, referred to
above, is a son of Col Edmund Berke-
ley, of Prince William county: Io his
younger days he was pupil OF Po-
tomac Academy, Mr.. ]. S. Black burn

acquaintance here who will read the
