the conditions are quite different at
Santiago from those in Manila, as the
government has disclaimed a purpose
and has directed it's efforts thus far to
making Cuba free and placing the Gu
bans in control. This condition may
lead to a consideration of the expedi-
ency of allowing the Cubans them
selves to establish an administration
at Santiago, thus giving them the op-
pOrtunity to try their ability at di-
recting civil affairs, and also giving
them a foothoId on the island. In that
event General Garcia, being on the
ground would doubtless figure promi-
nently in the administration, although
President Masso and his cabinet are
said to be in the adjoining province Of
Puerto Principe, and readily accessible
at Santiago.
No determination has been reached.
so far as can be learned, as to the form
of administration for until the surren-
der itself is completed the authorities
here are not disposed to settle the de-
tails of questions which naturally fol-
low the surrender.
1t is felt, however, that an important
question of general policy hinges on
the action at Santiago, as it is the first
Cuban territory to be acquired by our
army, and to some extent the admins
tration as to its method Of civil gov
eminent will serve as a precedent for
the civil administration of other parts

ALL KINDS OF BULLETS
Were Used by the spaniards at the
San Juan Fight

New York, July 16.-Brigadier Gen
eraI, former Lieutenant Colonel Will S.
Worth of the Thirteenth regular in
fantry, who was wounded in the charge
of the Americans up the hill at San Juan
has arrived at his home at Governors
island.
Before the outbreak of the war Gen.
Worth was stationed at the head
quarters of the department of the east
at Governors island. He was one of
the most popular officers on the island
and there was not a single person from
the prisoners confined there up, who
did not accord to him a hearty welcome
yesterday. Before he left his post for
the front, he was a splendid specimen
of physical health and vigor and his
appearance Yesterday weakened by loss
of blood and severe wounds was de-
plOred by all his friends and acquatnt-
ances. It is only by a miracle that he
was not killed outright. A bullet which
must have been a. partially spent one
hit him in the left breast in a slanting
direction, tearing an ugly wound through
the flesh and glancing off onto his
right arm, where it caused double
fracture above the elbow. Another bull
let hit him in the breast The wounds
in the breast although being very pain
full and up to the present time, not
healed, are not considered dangerous by
the surgeons. The generals right arm
is perfectly helpless and is likely to re-
main so for some time.
Gen. WOrth's arm was set at SibOney
tremely painful to him. He was carried
from Santiago by the City of Washing
ton to Old Point Comfort where he took
the train for New York. He was &C
cOmpanied on his journey by his order
", John Keller of company B, Thir-
teenth infantry. Keller was also wound
ed in the charge of San Juan.
Orderly Keller said that Gen. Worth
took a leading part in the storming of
the hill at San Juan. When Col Wykom
fell the general then lieutenant colonel
was the next in command and after
stopping for a moment to receive the
dying words Of Col. Wykoff he ran on
and led the charge When Gen. Worth
was wounded he did not fall or stop
but kept right on His sword which was
waving to encourage the men dropped
from his helpless right hand. He just
stopped to pick it up and waved it in
his left hand. In a little while how
ever. the loss of blood compelled Gen.
Worth to retire and he was carried to
the rear. He did not lose consciousness
at all, but the journey of eight miles
to the coast caused him to suffer ter
ribly.
Keller had some interesting things to
say with reference to the charge in
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-07-16

general. He declared that the COM
handing officer desired the CubanS to
go on in front to do the work of cut
ting the barbed wire fences, but they
obliged to do it themselves. There were
eight fences, altogether. to be cut down
before the men reached the top of the
hill and they were artfully placed at
points where they were least expected
They were not made of ordinary barb
ed wire, but were deliberately put to-
gether- In some places they were
twisted together like ropes, which were
so thick that one could not put a fing-
er between them. The wire cutters,
with which the Americans were sup
piled were not made for anything more
a great deal of time was spent in the
cutting. All the time the Spaniards
were raining down their Mauser bullets
on the Americans.
Have you ever tried to dodge the
hail stones in a storm?' asked Keller.
Spanish fire was like. And it was a
mistake to suppose that the SpaniardS
cannot shoot. However, the Spanish
fire did not stop US and at least we
reached the top of the hill. guess we
showed them what rapid firing really
fred and advanced again as regularly
as clock work. Had the Spaniards had
any heart at all we could not have ia
ken the place. They fired behind
trenches two and a half feet thick. They
used explosive bullets, too, besides two
with his face shot clean away. General
WOrth'S wounds were caused by brass
bullets. I think that the Thirteenth
bore the brunt of the battle. After the
had never known anything like the
American fire"

PECK IS A VETERAN.
Missouri Pacific Conductor Who is
Verv Popular.

Osawatomie Journal: A few days ago a
group of railroad men were sitting IN
front OF, Frank MIler's restaurant telling
each other about the old railroad men
they had worked vita The champion
liar of the crowd said that he broke for a
conductor in '93 who was on through
freight run out of Wallace, n. NJ, at the
age of So. It didn't occur to US at the
time, but we have candidate for honors
along this line who is well known to all
old time OsaWatomfe railroad men
We refer to Conductor Peck of Council
Grove, the best old railroad man we have
ever known. He don't wear gold braid
and brass buttons and punch tickets on
the smart cars either, but takes his
regular turn on .'ehain gang" and is the
hardest worker on the crew. He can
stand more continuous service with less
food or without pounding his ear than
any man the division.
His age2 Well, that is his secret. He
is as sensitive on that as a woman. but
the oldest inhabitant can't remember when
he didn't call him Pa Peck and the
writer is willing to make affidavit that
he is younger today than he was the first
time we sawed by his train on a blind
siding nearly ten years ago. Mr.. Peck
is as popular with the people of Council
Grove as he is with the boys on the
road. and all hope that he may be play
