well and sympathizes thoroughly with
it, and the relations existing between
himself and his sons are of the chum-
miest sort that can be imagined. When
ever he has shore leave, where they can
get together, the veteran naval hero
that is and his Juvenile replicas that
hope to keep the name in the service for
many years to come are almost insep-
arabic COMPANIONS. And whenever his
ship has been stationed within reach of
the family the bows have been frequent
visitors ON its decks where they have
always made themselves pets with the
men and favorites with the officers in
spite of certain boyish tendencies to ex-
plore all sorts of forbidden hooks and
corners and to find out things by asking
questions that no one can answer.
In private life, like so many distin-
guished personages, he is noted for sim
plicity, candor and total absence of af-
fectation His is not the greatness that
awes those who's come in contact with
him, and though thorough discipline
rian and rigorous in the execution of
his commands there is nothing domineer-
ing or naughty in his manner.

within range torrent of fire fell upon
her. Despite the terrific onslaught. the
little ship bravely steamed ahead. Con
federate sharpshooters lined the hills
and bullets swept over the deck like
hail driven by furious wind. Sampson
ordered the marines and sailors below
to hide behind the iron protection,
while he alone remained ON deck. All
at once the firing ceased with i'll boding
suddenness. The next instant the iron
clad went up into the air, split into
fragments by an enormous torpedo.
Along with the ship was blown Lieu

into the water 100 feet away. Others

DR.. Rodgers, secretary of the Board
of Educatlon has issued the follow
ing circular letter to the school ag-
ents and others doing business with
the department:
Honolulu, II. l., June 81.
The new Audit Act which will go
into operation on the LIST of July will
necessitate several changes i'm the
methods of transacting business in
this department.
On and after that date all bills
against the Department of Public In
struction must be rendered in dupli-
cate, and the duplicate plainly marked
as such, either in writing or by means
of a stamp.
Items belonging to different apprO-
priatiOns will, as heretofore, be billed
separately and it is now required by
the Auditor General that items be-
longing to different months be put
on separate bills.
All bills should be made out on the
printed forms provided for that pur-
pose. which will be furnished on APP
plication to this office or to the school
agents in the several districts.
Monthly salary pay rolls will be
sent in on the same blanks and in the
same manner as heretofore. These
are not required to be in duplicate.
Attention is again called to the fol-
lowing instructions, contained in a
circular letter issued under date of
July 20, 1897, which instructions have,
in numerous instances, been disre-
garded:
1. School reports, school statistics
of all kinds, and all communications
relating to the discipline and internal
administration of schools are to be
addressed to the Inspector General of
Schools, or his Deputy.
2. Letters containing pay rolls,
vouchers. remittances or receipts, and
letters generally, relating to money
or accounts, are to be addressed to
the undersigned.
3. Matters requiring the attention
of the Inspector, or the secretary, re-
| spectively, as the case may be, in ac-
cordance with the rules above set
| forth, should not be dealt with in the
same letter, but be made the subject
of separate communications.
Communications addressed to the
department of Public Instruction, s.
BOARD of Education" or to the Of
fee in any general way, will be con-
sidered to be intended for the secre-
tary and opened by him.
Communications addressed to the
! Minister. either by name or by his
official title, will go to him unopened

COL. ROOSEVELI'S REPORT.
War Department Makes Public the
Rough Riders Report.
COMMAND SUFFERED MUCH.
Says There Was No "Proper Supply OF
Food, and Utterly inadequate Medical
FacrItlos"-How His Troops Lived In
tho Trenches Until the Surrender

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The War De-
partment yesterday made public two
reports of Colonel Roosevelt, on the
fights of the First United States vol
unteer cavalry (rough riders) in front
of Santiago. One is addressed to Col
onel Wood, commanding, and the other
is to Brigadier General Wood, after
Colonel Roosevelt took command of
the regiment. The War Department
has hitherto refused to make these re-
ports public
The second and more important re-
port, after describing the operations
and battles of his command up to the
time of the first truce, July 8, says I
"For the next seven days. until the
10th, we lay in our line while the truce
continued. We had continuallyto work
at additional bomb proofs, and at the
trenches, and as we had no proper
supply Of food, and utterly inadequate
medical facilities, the men suffered a
good deal. The officers Clipped to-
gether, purchased beans, tomatoes and
sugar for the men, so that they might
have some relief from the bacon and
bareback. With great deal Of diff
Guilty, we got them coffee. AS for the
sick and wounded they suffered so in
the hospitals when sent to the rear
for lack of food and attention that we
found it best to keep them at the front
and give them such care as our own
doctors could.
Son the 10th, the truce was at an
end and the bombardment reopened.
As far as our lines were concerned, it,
was, on the Spanish part, veIy feeble.
We suffered no losses and speedily got
the fire from their trenches in our
front completely under. On the 18th,
we were moved three-quarters OF
mile to the right, the truce again
being on. Nothing happened here, ex-
cept we continued to watch and do our
best to get the men, especially the
sick, properly fed, and having
no transportation and being able to
get hardly any through the regular
channels, we used anything we could
find, captured Spanish cavalry horses,
abandoned mules, which had been
shot, but which our men took and
cured, diminutive, skinny ponies, pur-
chased from the Cubans, etc BY this
means and by the exertions of the
officers we were able, from time to
time, to get supplies of beans, sugar
tomatoes and even oatmeal, while
from the Red Cross people we got our
invaluable load of rice, cornmeal, etc,
all of this being of the utmost conse-
quonce, not only for the sick, but for
the nominally well, as the lack of
proper food was telling terribly on
the men. 1t was utterly impossible
to get them clothes and shoes, those
they had being in many cases literally
dropping to pieces.
