WAS IN SANTIAGO 5 FIGHT.
Continued from Page onc.)

hours of he'll any one felt uneasy at
all: it didn't seem so bad, only the
heat and sharpnell that broke over
us. We, b troop, led the charge, and
when the battle was over we were 200
yards in front, ard it will go down in
history so, too. We buried our dead
that night and camped on the battle
ground. Next day moved forward.
OF course the First regulars fought
as hard as we did; so did the Tenth
colored United States cavalry, but /
am only mentioning ourselves on ac-
count of lack of paper. We marched
three miles on the 25th, the battle
was on the gath, Friday. On the 30th
we moved about four miles to block
house. Next morning. July LIST, they
bombarded us at daylight, shells
burst all around us. Our battery OPP
ened up and for an hour it was pure
ly an artillery fight. They silenced
one of our guns. We were using
black powder; they exploded a shell
right at our lannon's mouth and kill
ed gunners. We marched about
two miles to our right and got it
thick and fast. Our men. lots of them
were overcome with the heat. Wilcox

heat | sent him to the San Juan riv-

this fight and we fought. until dark,
all wet and hungry. We took the San
Juan hills overlooking the city, and
that night all who were able dug
trenches, and twice that night we
threw down our shovels and picks
and dropped down with our guns and
gave them hell, but we never moved
an inch. and in the charge we drove
the Spanards out of their trenches.
Well, this kept up until the morning.
We had one night attack where we
lost 2 men and the Spaniards 500,
from their own lips. They burned
their dead and the stencil was terrible
and all this time no one took their
clothes off and all was wet all the
time. When we finally got coffee
and bareback our men made it under
the hill and would run up between
volleys from the Spaniards and jump
in the trenches and come out the
same way under fire. Oh, I could tell

PROFESSOR -pRIrCHETT's WORK
VIII be of Great Importance to the
Islands.

Important results to Honolulu and
the hawaiian Islands are likely to re-
suit very soon from the visit here of
Professor Pritchett of the coast and
geodetic survey. In the first place it
is almost certain that the work of the
geodetic survey will be extended to
the Islands very soon. With the APP
proach of winter this work necessa-
rily ceases in large part of the Unit
ed States, but can be taken up here.
The photographic survey of the Is
lands largely remains to be done, and
this will probably come first. 1t is
important that it should, as it is very
largely preliminary to the work of
the United States engineering depart
ment in the work of improving har-
bors and water communication.
With the annexation of the Islands,
the improvement of harbors becomes
federal matter, and in view of the
fact that the strategic position of the
Islands from a naval and military
point of view, is uppermost in public
thought on the mainland, it is to be
expected that harbor surveys and har-
Dor improvement will receive prompt
The United States department of
agriculture is already looking to the
Islands with anticipation. That de-
partment will for the first time have
United States territory within the
tropics on which it can establish eX-
perimental stations, and make inves-
LEGATIONS of matters of vast import
ance to large agricultural interests In
the southern part of the United
States, but which can best be made
in the tropics.
Professor Alexander, with whom
Professor Pritchett freely consulted,
thinks much work will be done here
very soon by the scientific bureaus
and departments of the United States.
Professor Pritchett returned to the
mainland on the Coptic taking with
him all available data on the subjects,
as well as the results of his own OBJ
servations, which, though necessari-
ly hurried. were those of trained OBJ
server and Investigator.

THE ASTORIA colTNoN POINT.

The oregonian is not discussing the
common point question fairly.
In one issue II says that the subject Is
one for the railroads to settle
In another issue it says river transpor-
taaOn between Portland and Astoria Is
cheaper than RAN.
In stir another. that common point
would not benefit Astoria If extended here
because that would leave Portland an
interior place. which would command a
less rate stlll
Now suppose Portland did get lower
rate than the common point rate, would
that be any harm TO the state? The AS
torian thinks not; but that is not the
point at issue. The matter at issue just
now is shall there be fair field for com
petition between the pOrt-Or ports, If the
oregonian win have It that way-of the
Columbia river and the Sound.
Common point has nothing to do with
the cost between Portland and Astoria.
The ends Of railroads on the seaboard are
called common points and have the same
rate. irrespective Of distance.
Tacoma, Seattle and Portland were
given the same rate on freight from GER
tain interior points, because each was at
the end Of road and a deep water ship
ping point.
Astoria was not included because the
transportation companies said Cthey being
rain that they could not include water
lines. At that time Astoria had no rail-
road Now It has. and this road runs into
the same depot with all roads entering
Portland so that 1t completes an all rail
line from all interior rail points in Oregon
and washington to the seaboard on the
columbia river, and right on the Pacific
ocean.
Under the custom and usual rules of
transportation companies the common
point rate allowed to the sOund ports
should be awarded to Astoria at the
mouth Of the columbia.
The Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern charge nothing for hauling
srain from Seattle to Tacoma and vice.

that something at least. Then were

The struggle for commerce as concerns
