rapidity for accuracy. Most of the bullets flew high. From re- ports 1t is believed the Spanish used explosive bullets. The sound of the bullets cutting through the chaparral affected the nerves of the Rough Riders, and a few men showed signs of panic, but the cool demeanor of Colonel Wood and Lieutenant Colonel Roose- welt soon restored confidence and every man settled down to work.
 Troop L was re-enforced by Troop c, but still the enemy pressed forward. Colonel Woods men yielded their ground slowly. Meanwhile the sound of firing. warned the other troops at the rear that their comrades were en- gagged. A great scramble to get to the front then began. Owing to the roughness of the ground 1t was impossible to form ranks, and each man rushed forward as best he.could. They found Troops l. and G fighting desperately,  penned in an awkward position with a wire trocha on one side and a ravine on the other. The enemy was temporarily checked, but presently outfanked Woods men, who were forced to fall back.
 They retired slowly, fighting fercely as they went.
 Private Whitney of Troop L staggered along bleedingprofuse- ly from three wounds. Private lslade, supported between two slightly wounded companions, also made his way to the rear. He had continued to fire after he had been struck by three bullets, and retired only after the fourth bullet had hit him. Others whose names(I could not learn gave Dr, Lamotte and his assistants plenty to do.
 By this time all the Rough Riders had gone into the engage ment, but they seemed unable to check the eneny's determined advance. Colonel Wood sent an orderly to ask for re-enforce- mentS. He met the Tenth Cav airy, which dismounted hurried ly and moved forward, as did the Twenty-second Infantry. Cast ing aside their baggage, the men who had a few moments before been lying exhausted on the ground, sprang to their feet,

grasped their rifles and staggered forward to aid their comrades.
 By 10 o'clock the enemy had been checked, with the assistance of the Tenth and Twenty-second. The fighting on the mesa con- tinued furiously for an hour in the burning sun. The men had no water in their canteens and the throats of the officers became so parched that they could only whisper their commands. Rifles became almost too hot to hold. Many men took out their can teens to give the dearly prized water to their wounded and ex- hausted companions. The mules who were carrying the ammuni- ton fell exhausted and could not rise.
 Our men were surprised at the determination and bravery of the Spanish. They now realize that Santiago can be taken only after the hottest kind of fighting.
 The fight near Sevilla began at 8 o'clock in the morning and last ed four hours. The struggle was the most desperate during the first hour. Up to 9 o'clock the Spaniards, who began the attack tenaciously, held their ground. Between 9 and I2 o'clock the bat tie was a running one, the enemy hastily retreating toward Sevilla, and our troops as hastily pursu- ing.
 It was rare good luck that saved the Spaniards from com plete annihilation when they en- countered the regulars and Rough Riders in the outskirts of Sevilla this morning. They had to face barely 1000 Americans, but if the fight had been delayed a few hours, enough Americans to crush them completely would have arrived on the scene.
 Four troops of the Tenth Cav airy, four troops of the First Bat tery, and eight troops of Rough Riders had been sent in advance of the army, and 1t was this de- tached force that the Spanish en- gagged. Against our 1000 men they pitted 2ooo. They were strongly entrenched behind bush eS and had every advantage III position as well as in numbers. Despite this fact theywereinglori- ously repulsed by an inferior force long before the second de- tachment of American troops ar rived upon the scene.
 Colonel Roosevelt's men, who had pushed their way toward Sevilla yes terday, resumed their march soon after sunrise this morning. They were join ed by a detachment of Cubans under General Castillo who guided them over the steep hills along the winding paths Constant watch was kept for the enemy, but none seemed to be turk ing in the thick underbrush that lined the narrow roadway. It began to seem as if the enemy had retreated into Sevilla and the men were advancing in quick order when the crack of Mauser rifles suddenly was heard. Bullets whizzed over the heads of the Rough Riders. The fire came from behind the
