from their powder allows the enemy to
easily get their range and pound the shot
and shell into them. The boys were
rather disappointed, coming thus far and
enduring as many hardships as they had
not to get a chance to fire shot except at
few Spanish sharp shooters. We stayed
in our camp in the valley for three days
and were then moved to the tor of near

back from Santiago, stopped at our head

look of the boys, advised the colonel to

go from here. Gen. Miles told us that II
no sickness broke out we would be sent to
Porto Rico. This country is certainly In
need of reconstruction. A glance at the
naked Cubans, who plod back and forth
continuously between the landing aud
the battlefield, would convince person
of this. American energy and push
would soon transform these fertile val.
