 J. H. Waller, Rough Rider Of the late Cap,ain O'Neill company, has returned to Prescc1t. He was in the fight in which O'Nein lost his life. He says lie heard C'Neill say he would walk forward and see if he could locate where the rain Of Spanish bullets pro eeeded from. or if he could see the Spaniards. As he did So, ha urged his men to be careful and not shoot their captain. O'NeiH next called on the captain of the next company to join him in storming block house which he had located. The captain refused. and O'Nein remarked to his men that he would storm it with his company. As he prepared to do So, the Spaniards appeared, charging upon the colored troops charged upon the Spaniards, and Waller lost sight Of O'Neill. Waller was shot through the arm and would have Desn killed but fo- the fact that cartridges in his vest pocket stopped and turned the ball. He had been in the habit Of picking up loose cartridges and filling his pockets, and this is what saved his life. When the bullet struck him it whirled him around, and his first thought was that he had run into wire fence. He says C'Neill was idolized by his men, and that the report sent cut that he was not popular was Q malicious falsek00d.-COuEier.
