ONE OF ROUGH RIDERS.
Otto Vockroth Describes the First
Engagement in Which They
Participated-Fate of a Spy.

August vockroth, of 4O7 South WASH
ington avenue, yesterday received a
letter from his son, Otto Vockroth. a
former employe of The Tribune, who
is now with the Rough Riders in Cuba.
The letter was written after the first
engagement of the Riders, and is as
follows:
Near Santiago, Cuba
My Dear Father: When you get this
letter you will be surprised probably, to
learn where | am, 1t may be the last
letter you will have from me for some
time. In my last letter | told you we
would break camp, which we did, going
to Tampa, Where we took a transport for
Santiago de Cuba. We laid in the bay
for a week and it was June ii before we
sailed. There were thirty seven trans
ports and when we reached Key " est
we were jciEed by SIMPSONS feet, max
ing fifty-seven boats all told. On June
is our ship lost the fleet at l.30 a. m. and
we were not found until $50 p. m. when
a gunboat sighted us and came alongsi1n.
When we came in sight of Santiago
Sampson began to shell the forts while
we dropped anchor and waited while the
war ships continued to shell the coast
fOi a distance of tWents-siX miles this side
of Santiago. The Spaniards were all
ttldStu away from tne SHtTe anu On june
% we landed and now we are chasing the
Spaniards toward Santiago.
OF course you heard about the fight
we had. The Spariards could
not whip or hold our cgiment. They were
in the bushes on the side of the road and
our men were going along a road that
was wide enough for two to walk abreast
The Spaniards were above us and as our
men marched along they fired on us from
all sides. Our men did not stop but m
stead rushed forward and chased the
enemy for three miles taking possession
of their fort on top of the hill. 1t was
one of the block houses you hear so much
about. You can see them from one noun
tain to another. The only ones in this
fight were part of the First cavalry,
Tenth cavalry and the Rough Riders.
We lost in all ten killed and forty wound
ed. We found 104 wounded Spaniards
and they carried away five wagon loads.
The enemy is now hemmed in in San
tiago and we are going to make one good
rush and finish them unless they give in.
Food is short and each man has to do his
own cooking. Sunday a Cuban who was
acting as a Spanish spy was captured
by the Cubans and after they had got all
the information they could out of him
they cut his hand off. Don't worry about
me. I'm an American and its my duty
to fight and I'm going to do it. Love to
you all. Otto.

CAN BE CLEANED.
All of the reservoirs are SO arranged
that they can be emptied and cleaned
without i'm any way affecting the sup
ply to the consumers.
Among the improvements contem-
plated by the company are the con-
struction of another reservoir at Chin
chlla and the extending of the terra
Gotta pipe to within a short distance
of the Maple Glen reservoir.
During heavy rain storm, dirt from
the road which skirts the bank of the
creek for q distance, is washed down
into it and it is to avoid this source of
pollution that the pipe is to be ex-
tended to point above where this
danger exists.
The company is constantly acquiring
land on the water shed from which It
obtains its supply and it is now almost
impossible for anything of a dangerous
nature to be located anywhere near the
reservoirs or the sources chat supply
them.
Sanitary Officer Burke took samples
Of the water from the various reser-
voirs. They will be analysed. md the
result made known to the board Of
health. The members OF the board yes
terday expressed themselves as grati-
fed with the condition of the reser-
voirs inspected. They say there has
been a gradual and constant improve
| ment in the quantity and quality Of
the Providence company's supply and
now it has reached a point sincerely
worthy of commendation
Thursday the board will inspect the
reservoirs Of the Scranton Gas and
Water company at No. Z, Emhurst
and Williams Bridge.

Taylor was facing east. When in front of Burns old stand Hummer raised his gun to shoot. He was stopped by MT. Herrin and the two started across the street, and further down where the two men on the corner would not be in line. Mr. Hummer again raised his gun and was again stopped by Mir. Herrin, who told Mir. Hummer to call to MT. Roane to get out of the way. Mir. Hummer called 10 Mir. Roone, the call being the first intimation the two men had of Mir. Plummer's ap- proach. MT. Roane sprang into the door of the bank. Mayor D. c. Bell was standing close to the corner and nc seized Capt. Taylor's arm and pulled him into the bank.
 Mir. J. c. Tayler, who was at the scene, ran towards Mir. Hummer and seized the barrel of the gun. pulling it down. MT. Herrin struck MT Taylor blow behind the ear with his fist, felling Mr. Taylor to the ground and causing the blood to flow. MT. Taylor still held to the gun, however. and others ran to his assistance. The shot gun was taken from MT. Hummer who started backwards and drew a pistol, and again made for the bank. Sheriff Triplett and acting Chief of Police Craig had arrived and they seized hold of MT. Hummer and carried him across to the office in Talbot's store, where he was kept under arrest.
 When Capt. Tayler was brought into the bank he drew his pistol, fourished it end said all he wanted was fair show. He was also taken in custody.
 The gun which was taken from Mir Hummer was discharged against the brick pavement by the men who held it, The rebounding shot and pieces of brick struck several of the men, none of whom received more than slight flesh wounds.

STREET DUEL BETWEEN MIR. E H. PLUMMER AND CAPT. E. L. TAYLOR NARROWLY
 INVERTED.
The Cause of the Trouble Long Ex istiug Personal Differences Be.
 tween the Two Men.

Excitement was at fever heat on the streets of the city yesterday (Tues-day.) afternoon.
 While the general public was inter. ested over the passage through the city Of Government troops going South, 8 strong under-current oi personal bitterness was swaying the breasts of a circle of prominent peo- pie in the city.
 The first indica tions of the gather. ing storm were made apparent dur ing the gathering of the crowd at the depot, about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. On the south side of the street at Lloyd's corner were as- sembled crowd ofladies and gentle men, among them Mir. E. H. Plum Iner and Capt. D. l.. Taylor. There have been long standing personal differences existing between the two men, but it was supposed by the general public that the bitter feeling had died out. 1t seemed, though. that the fires were only subdued, to blaze up at any moment. Capt. Taylor had been drinking. The two men engaged in an altercation, and Capt. Taylor drew u pistol and threatened to kill MT. Hummer. He was prevented from so doing by the Dystanders. First one and then the other of the two went uptown, Mir. Hummer going to the court house. Capt. Taylor stopped at tbe stairs next to Talbot's store, over which the Courier office, where MT. Plum mer stays, is situated. For twenty or thirty minutes he stood there, making threats against MT. Plum mer's life and waiting for Mir. Plum mer to show up. Meanwhile MT. Hummer left the court house and started for the office. He was stop ped and advised by several parties not to return to his office, as Capt. Taylor was waiting there to shoot him. Mir. Hummer said: "Well, what am l going to do about it? Why isn't he taken away?" The gentlemen said: "We can't get him away" MT. Hummer then said: Well. I'll see if I can't move him. , He started west on Barraque street,  procured 8 double-barrelled shot tgun from some where and started to- wards his office, going down the south side of Second avenue. Friends of Capt. Taylor had led him away from the foot of the stairs, and he was leaning against the Bank of Pine Bluff near the corner entrance talk ing with Mr. W. H. Roane, when Mir. Hummer came along. accompanied by his brother, Mir. Fenno Herrin. Mr. Roane and Capt. Tayler were standing close together and Capt.

The Successful Remedy for
 NASAL CATARRH

must be nOn-irritating, easy of ap- plication. and one that will by its own action reach the inflamed and diseased surfaces.
