william NJ. webb, Who Joined the
Third, Writes From Santiago.
Mrs. Charles Webb, 1868 Nelson avenue re-
ceived a letter from her son, William M.
Webb, who is with the Third regiment at
Santiago. The ST. Paul boy enlisted a short
time ago, and If seeing service is luck. then
he found luck quickly. He had intended to
Join one OF the Minnesota regiments but
was advised by a regular army officer to
join the regulars, because he can secure his
discharge from the regulars as soon as the
war is over, and the opportunities for fight
ing were better. So he recruited for the Third
and was with the Fort Smelling regiment
in the fighting at Santiago. He writes I'M
der date of July Ii, eight miles from San
tago," as follows: s.s-..
my Dear Mother: have chance to get
a letter off, so will try it. At last l am at
the front and expect to go on the firing line
this afternoon. | am in first-class condition
for man on short ratons. MY rations for
one day are half can Of tomatoes, pint of
coffee and four hardtacks.
The wounded are being picked up right
along and taken to the hospital, and the dead
are being buried. 1t is terrible sight. We
expect to capture Santiago today or tomorrow.
II have been in a four-hours' skirmish
and think my work told but this afternoon
and tomorrow will tell the tale. We expect
big battle, without doubt. We fight in
intrenchments captured from the Spanish.
We have lost eighteen men from the regl-
ment since we have been here. We get fruit
cocoanuts, lemons and tobacco free of charge
This will be my last letter until after San
tago has surrendered or is taken | may
fan or be wounded, but I take my chance
with the rest. feel cool and will come back
with the rest-if not, 1 die for a right and
just cause. Well. l must close with regards
to all friends and love to you all.''

bulged bulkheads, caused by the con-

Few of the ships require repairs on
account of damage done by the enc

few rounds from the rapld-are guns OF
the Cristobal Colon, and the Iowa has
an unexploded shell sticking in her

On board the Arkansas is Lieut. Col

was met at quarantine by DR.. A Il
Glennan, representing the marine hos
p1tal service in the territory OF Flor

was no sign of fever among the pas

Col. Astor insisted that he and his

places, and was urgent In his efforts to
secure the consent of DR.. Glennan to
leave the vessel and proceed 20 Wash

WANDERERS wARM RECEPTION.
Tried to Land an Expedition Near
Ranes West of Havana.

KEY WEST. Fla, July 27.-News
reached here today of the attempted
landing on Cuban shores of a large
expedition of men and arms by the
steamer Wanderer. which left Key
West about a week ago. Bane3, west
of Havana, was the point selected for
debarkation, but upon arriving there
the expedition was confronted by
body of cavalry numbering thou
sand or more, and a sharp engagement
ensued. The Wanderer was to have
been met by a party of Cubans, who
had evidently been driven off by the
Spanish forces before the arrival OF
the Wanderer.
The Wanderer, which was not under
convoy, drew UP about 400 yards from
the shore and began discharging her
cargo by means of small boats. At first
there was no sign of resistance, and a
portion Of the supplies had already
been placed on the beach, when a Wig
oTous rife fire was opened on the men,
berS of the expedition from wooded
growth lining the beach and a force
of Spanish cavalrymen burst into
sight. There were about two score of
SharpshoOters, who evidently expected
the expedition, and they attempted to
cover the retreat by lying fiat and re-
turning the Spaniards' fire. They pick
ed off a number of the cavalrymen,
and as the opposing force backed into
the woods the Wanderers men got
their boats off, but not before William
Davis, mate; William Ross, seaman;
Gabriel Alvarez, Felix Lopez and Ro
jolu Garcia had been slightly wounded.
After the Wanderers men had got
ten away the Spaniards pushed down
to the beach and resumed their fire,
peppering the hull, but succeeded in
doing no further damage.

PROUD OF THE FIFTEENTH
COL. SHANDREW AND THE
OTHER OFFICERS
Think the Showing Made in the
Parade Was Most Credftabie-
The Practice Obtained in Load
Ing Onto the Train at the Camp
and Again at the Union Depot
Worth the Trouble.

The officers of the Fifteenth regiment
were in ecstacies last night over the
showing maze by the regiment. Only
nine of the men dropped out of the
ranks during the march, and of the
nine, only two were in the hospital
last night.
Col. Shandrew is generally sparing Of
praise, believing that when a man
does well he does what is expected Of
him, and the knowledge of a deed well
done the colonel seems to think, should
be recompense enough. The ice was
broken last night, though, and he was
ready to say a few good things for the
boys. After saying how proud he was
of them, the colonel added:
II do not think there was ever reg
iment brought together. all things be-
ing equal, that could have beaten that
performance today"
Those who watched the boys as they
swung along up Seventh street yester-
day will agree with him.
The loading up practice which the
boys got at each end of the trip over
the Northern Pacific was worth to the
men all the trouble and discomfort
which they may have incurred in COM
Ing to town. They will profit by the
experience. and have already done SO.
Where they were something like thirty
minutes In loading at Camp Ramsey,
they loaded for the return trip in five
minutes.
Capt. Dolan and his command of
over 300 men got along fine at the camp
during the absence of the troops. The
officers and men of the line got to camp
quite awhile ahead of the staff, and
that put Capt. Edwin, as senior cap
tain of the regiment in command of
Camp Ramsey until Col. Shandrew ar

WATCHING THE CARLIsTs
Spanish Forces Prepared to Sup
press an Uprising.

LONDON, July 2S.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Biarritz, France, saws:
THE Basque provinces, Navarro and
the mountain districts of Aragon and
Catalonia, the reported strongholds of
Carlism, are now on a war footing. and
military occupation of all that coun
try is nearly complete. In many places
the troops are camping out because the
villages do not afford sufficient ac
commodation. More troops, including
artillery, are being sent to complete
measures for meeting the Carlist ris-
ing, If attempted. The whole Spanish
army Is being strengthened by two
companies for each battalion. The gov
eminent believes that the Carlists boast
or more strength than they really pos
sess, and will attempt nothing vet.
Still the situation is that the Carlists
are making ready to profit by the first
signs Of popular effervescence in an
effort to foment revolution. The gov
eminent is now prepared to check them
immediately"
