and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt led the charge
with great bravery. They scorned to hide
themselves in the grass or underbrush, as
the enemy did, and ultimately they drove
the enemy back toward Santiago, infict-
ing heavy losses upon them, but with a
loss to themselves of thirteen men killed
and at least fifty wounded. A number of
Cubans took part in the days fighting and
forty of them were killed.
The fight lasted an hour. The Span
iards opened fire from the thick brush and
had every advantage of numbers and posi-
ton, but the troops drove them back from
the start, stormed the blockhouse around
which they made the final stand and sent
them scattering over the mountains. The
cavalrymen were afterward REINFORCED
by Seventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth in
fantry, part of the Ninth cavalry, the Sec
ond Massachusetts, and the Seventyfrst
New York.
Thursday in baptism of blood the
American invading army at Santiago won
it's first victory. To the dashing regi
ment of rough riders under Coils. Wood
and Roosevelt fell the honor of striking
the first blow and offering up the first
lives of our land forces in behalf of
great cause. While portions Of the First
and Tenth cavalry regiments of the regu
lar army also stood shoulder to shoulder
with them, dividing the glory and the
losses. the roster of the dead and wound
ed shows that the rough riders took the
brunt of the charge, and to them, as COM
paratively raw recruits, must be awarded
the palm of chief honor. They have
shown the Spaniards and the world how
American volunteers fight their maiden
engagement. Though many of the brave
horsemen fell at the first volley. the troops
calmly stood their ground, dismounted,
and returned the fire so vigorously that

is also remarka bic that the command, not
withstanding the heat and the crowded
condition of the transports, was as healthy
as when it left Key West, which speaks
we'll for the sanitary precautions which
have been taken. That SO large force
should have been safely landed was DUE
first, to the fact that the Spaniards did
not care to expose themselves to the fire
of the fleet, and, second, to the co-opera-
ton of the fleet itself, which enabled Gen.
Shafter to accomplish in two days what
otherwise, he himself says. could not have
been done in ten, land perhaps not at all,
as l believe / should have lost so many
boats in the surf" To crown all this sue
cess, he reports that the weather was
good from the start, that there has been
no rain on shore, and all the prospects in
dictate fair weather.
The story from the time of the landing
to the encounter near Sevilla is briefly
told. The first landing was made on
Wednesday and the second on Thursday.

TROOPS FACE OSHKOSH MOB.

Striking Woodworkers Are Dispersed
by Wisconsin Soldiers.
The woodworkers' strike at Oshkosh,
Wis. resulted in rioting. The trouble is
said to have been started by Waterman
at the Morgan plant pointing a revolver
at some Of the women doing picket duty.
The strikers set upon the Waterman and
would have killul him but for police in
reference. John Fable, another work
man, was pounded and cut until his condi-
ton is critical. c. H. Paxton. manager Of
the Mcmillan Lumber Company, was
egged and narrowly escaped dose Of
vitriol Thursday evening the mob, 1000
strong, started for McMillan's mill. Warn
ing had been sent ahead, and the gates to
the yard were closed. Five hydrants
were opened and the hose turned on the
crowd, but it broke in the gates and took
possession. Police and deputies were Of
no avail. All Of the non-unionists received
severe beatings. Ed Casey, an engineer
was struck in the face with stone. He
retaliated by hitting the thrower, James
Morris, over the head with a wrench, in
flicting fatal injuries.
Gov. Scofeld ordered the militia at
Milwaukee to go to Oshkosh and restore
order. The arrival of the troops added
to the tension, but prevented another out
break on the part of the striking wood
workers. The strikers marched to the
factory of the Paine Lumber Company at
6 o'clock Friday morning, but when thcy
reached the grounds soldiers stood ready
to receive them and the crowd dispersed.
Thursdays fighting resulted in nine noIS
union men being disabled.

The race itself was Il pretty contest from
start to finish. There were nine starters,
Bradley scratching Traverser and Foster
adding Eva Rice. Thirty thousand peo-
pie cheered Martin as he came under the

stretch. Martin called on hi: mount three
furlongs from home and he drew away

soon after joined Robert

bankers son.

park"

They soon neared the spot where Mr.
Thorn had secured an object for which
man was now cropping diligently.

Robert. You may be able to state if you
have ever seen him before"
At that moment the man glanced in
their direction, then sauntered off toward
the lake.

l have a great curiosity in regard to him.
Does he resemble no one of your ac-
quaintances"

The two men left the park deeply en-
gagged in conversation.
AS they were about to separate the
younger man said:

the request. but Twill comply for one

''Arywhere save at home" said Thorn.

''For the next week l wish YOU to have

The impressive manner of the detective
startled the young man.

A moment later, John Thorn boarded a
Clark street car and Robert went home

The subsequent running fight and final
taking of the blockhouse in which the

ter. I'VE can never repay the good doc
tor. Only for him this would again have
been a house of mourning"
GLORIOUS, indeed" Robert said. II feel
like celebrating the day"
II am delighted" remarked the widow.
''1 had truly feared that dear Janette
would not survive the journey. We shall
soon have her home and as bright and

must remain until she is fully restored"
''But-but the first of September?' said
the widow demurely, casting her eyes on
the table before her.
'.Ah, yes. Oh, she must attend the dou-
bic wedding if possible. Some Of my
brothers family will probably accompany
the girls North, and Janette can return
with them"
''She may" SAID the madam.
A few moments later Mr.. kellogg left
the house accompanie by Robert and
Earl, and was soon engrossed with the
business cares of the day.
II must attend a meeting of my board
of directors tonight, and probably shall
not be home until late hour" remarked
Mr.. Kellogg at the tea table.
1T is very lonely evenings when you
are absent, dear Stephen, now that my
nieces are away" said the widow, glanc-
ing tenderly across the table.

How Councilman Baker Won
Dinner-Committee Work

The big fire bell in the city hall tower
struck thirteen" the unlucky number,
yesterday afternoon and created conster-
nation among the fire laddies who were still
celebrating, in their quiet way, the bond
victory of Thursday.
When the first clang of the bell rang out,
the gongs In the nearby engine houses
failed to act in concert and remained ST.
lent. The fire laddies took no chances OH
their house instruments being out Of gear
and hitched up long before the bell quit
striking.
Nobody could make out the box, and the
impatient horses stood restless in the
harness Of the fire machines while the fire.
men were trying to find out the location of
the blaze
Thirteen strokes and then the bell
ceased. Not gong in an engine house in
the city had struck call. What was the
matter? Horses, apparatus and men stood
waiting for a repetition Of the call to Auty.
1t did not come.
Then the firemen chit the phone" and
for half an hour Electrician Francis was
kept busy explaining that the alarm was
"thirteener," and the firemen should
have realized that it didn't count except
for the fellow who played it." He added,
however, that the bell had been struck to
obige committee appointed by the coun-
Gil to investigate the stability of the city
hall tower.
Some time in February last, Superintend-
ent of Buildings Stratton reported to the
council that the city hall tower was in
such condition that when the fire bell was
struck the vibration throughout the struc-
ture was such as to make the tower dam
gerous. The council forthwith appointed a
board of architects, consisting of L, A.
Eisen, Lester s. Moore and julius w.
Krause, to investigate the matter, the idea
being, in case the tower was unstable to
build bell tower in the rear Of the hall
The board of architects asked for the
assistance of a consulting engineer. and
City Engineer Dockweiler was requested
to aid the members in their work.
1t was this committee that visited and
inspected the tower yesterday and for
whom the fire bell struck thirteen" Just
what conclusions were arrived at by the
committee are not known, but 1t is almost
safe to say, from remarks overheard, that

The firemen were congratulating every
body yesterday upon the fact that "the

attention. Mr. Baker has in his employ 125
men who are voters, and they were all or

learned that twenty-seven of his voters had
