Lieutenant Tayman Here.


Lieutenant Charles +. Tayman. who
arrived here on last Tuesday, remained
until Saturday morning when he return
ed TO Washington. His regiment. the
oath Infantry. has returned TO their bar
racks at Salt Lake. bat he will not rejoin
his con mand until the War Department
has definitely decided whether or not he
shall rsturn to Cuba. Meanwhile the
Lieuterant will visit at the home OF his
wife's parents. Media, Pa, where he
hopes 10 recover from the severe attack
of malaria from which be has been suf-
fering since before he returned to the
States. at was my good fortune TO wit
ness the raising of the stars and stripes
on the palace in Santiago" said the
Lieutenant. "a scene that | shall never
forget and one that will be memorable in
history, marking as il did the official
recognition of Americas first colonial
conquest. / can't describe the feeling
that came over me when rode into the
surrendered city. We have ali read Of
such scenes in history, and have seen
them painted on canvas, bat TO be an
actual witness and personal participant
in the surrender of foreign city to a
conque. ing army, was beyond by fondest
dream. shall never forget it and shall
always thank my good fortune that wss
privileged TO be there. The day before
the entry of General Shafter into San
tlago was sent TO Siboney, where some
I'd 10. ind -

was no reason why / should not have
done so, aud l actually felt the need Of
rest, somehow or other felt that | ought
to return to our regimental headquarters.
1 reached the front next morning just in
time to accept an invitation TO accompany
General Shafler and the staff officers into
the city"
In speaking of the criticism Of the va
rious departments Of the military branch
OF the service Lieutenant Tayman gave
il as his opinion that the trouble was in
the system that made such criticism pos
sible, and that the system, not the men
charged with the executing the orders OF
the War Department should DO held re-
sponsible. Lieutenant Tsyman's views
in this regard are in accord with the ex-
pressed views OF many regular army
officers.
When asked in regard 10 the newspaper
reports that the colored regiments were
rushed 10 the front at Santiago in prefer
snce 10 the white troops, the Lieutenant
lanohinOIv remarked that the reports
contained al least few elements oftruth,
as the soldiers Of the 9th regular infant
~ could testify.

allegation being that Hershberger was
the principal debtor and not the surety of
said Wagner. The jury found for the

ago surrendered. the way Will be clear for Ad-

proceed up to the ~harses. as soon as the tor
pedocs and mines at tire harbor entrance are re-
moved. The Notifications OF MORO Castle. So
capa. Cayo Smith ana others are included in
the surrendered zoa. The possession OF these

afford valuable garrison points for large num-
Der OF men. The terms under which these
stron shods are surrendered are not yet known
In detail. but 1t is regarded as likely that their
big guns pass with the surrender While the
feet Will soon be free TO move up to Santiago
