with fighting in progress and more of it
Just ahead, there was scant time and op-
portunity for making official reports. In
fact the officials looked for fighting instead
Of reporting.
At 10 o'clock Gen. Miles went to Secre-
tary Algers office and the two held a long
conference. AS he entered the room the
general was asked as to the situation. He
said the press reports told the whole story
SO far as was known. 1t showed the ter
rible earnestness and the courage Of our
men. and the spirit with which they were
entering upon this attack. But the loss of
Capt. Capron and the other brave man,
rough riders and cavalrymen, was a serious
blow, Gen. Miles said.
He spoke in the highest praise of Captain
Capron, saying he had been one of the very
best officers in the United States service, a
man who knew no fear. Captain Capron
was a type of the stalwart American SOL
der, broad-shouldered and athletic in
build, and man of fine personal appear
ance.
Running over the list of dead and wound
ed, General Miles had a good word to say
for each one, SO far he knew them, and
among the regulars he knew them almost
man for man.
TAhUOS heln1Orcements.
When asked If he felt that 1,leral
Pando, the Spanish division commander at
Holguin, could be kept from bringing rein
forcements of 10000 men down to General
Linares at Santiago, General Miles said the
Cubans must be depended upon to hold
back Pando. General Garcia had been spe-
caily charged with throwing his Cuban
forces across the line of communication be-
ftx-a II nlo tl,t-
gether with the difficulties of progress
along the hundred-mile stretch between the
two places, promised to prevent Spanish
reinforcements reaching Santiago. General
Miles preserved his usual reticence as to
the sending of new expeditions with rein
forcements
ReinfOrcements From the United
States.
1t is quite evident, however that REIN
forcements will be hurried forward both
from Tampa and from Newport News. AL
ready General Duffield's forces on the Yale
are we'll on their way. The Harvard will
take another force today, and by next
Tuesday about 4 600 more American troops
will be at the disposition of General Shaf-
ter Within another week the rest of Cen
eral Henry's division, including the Gar
retson brigade, will be there. The first
class transports secured yesterday are like
ly to go to Tampa as fast as possible, to
take forward the best seasoned men at that
point, with additional cavalry horses,
mules, etc.
The Dead and Wounded.
Adjutant General Corbn at once set
about getting up list of the dead and
wounded, with all the information avail
able concerning each man. Captain Stat
ford has charge of the muster rolls show
ing the enlisted men. He put large force
of clerks at work digging through the rolls,
which are piled up to enormous extent

General Miles has issued an order

There is feeling of anxiety en- the
part of the President and administra-
ton friends lest Gen. Shafter may not
have a sufficient force to capture
Santiago. 1t is thought he may de-
lay the final attack on the city until
the reinforcements, now being as
sembled, reach him.

ing the President to appoint five

Gen. Miles on the Fight.
AT Gen. Miles headquarters deep interest
was manifested in the reports of the en-
gagement. The general was early at his
desk He found nothing from Gen. Shafter
or the others on the field. This was not
specially surprising, as 1t was felt that

Details Of Yesterday's Fight.


Roosevelt's Rough Riders were the prin-
cipal sufferers in an engagement yesterday
that took place about eight miles from
Santiago. The troops marched over the
foothills from Baiqu;ri and dismounted The
Spaniards were heard telling trees short
distance away, and the rough riders were
ordered to advance.
The country about is covered with high
grass and chaparal, and in this a strong
force OF the SpaniardS was hidden As
the Americans moved forward they were
met by whitening fire
Col. Leonard Wood and Lieut. Col Roose-
Velt led the charge with great bravery.
and ultimately they drove te enemy back
toward Santiago, ,infiicting heavy losses upon
them. The rougn riders were supported by
the Cd Massachusetts Volunteers and the
10th Regular Cavalry.
The Americans numbered less than 4
thousand while the Spanish soldiers who
had every advantage of position, numbered
more than twice that.
The cavalrymen were afterward reinforced
oy the 9TH, 18th and 18th infantry, part of
the 9th Cavalry, the ID Massachusetts and
the list New York
The Americans now hold the position at
the threshold of Santiago de Cuba with
more troops going forward constantly. and
they are preparing for final assault upon
the city.

WAR DEPARTMENT CHANGES.
Misrepresentation Regarding Emer-
gency Appointments.

misapprehension regarding appoint
ments to be made in the~War Department
under the present emergency seems to have
been created by the present deficiency bill
before Congress providing for the payment
of salaries of clerks in the War Depart
ment. This appropriation bill is not new
legislation. but is the continuation of ap-
propriations that have been available in
the War Department since April and from
which the increased force serving since the
commencement OF the war has been paid.
The department in the past week has been
besieged by candidates anxious to file APP
plications under the impression that num-
her OF future appointments were TO be
made. The applications now In hand
numberlDver .S.0oo, and as the needs OF the
service have been fully met the futflity Of
-appiying for poaifions in the War Depart
nant VIII be obvious.

was the possibility that an early report

When Bees FIGHT.

The battles of the bees are interest.
ing. Two bees from the hive are sent
to kill n intruder, and the latter al.
ways tries to force an entrance, ever
at the risk of its life. Once inside, il
makes room for others of it's com.
panions to enter, and then, gathering
up its abdomen in as small a space as
possible, it assumes the defensive.
Two of the hive bees pounce upon it
and, c~ollaring it fercely, they seek tc
find a vulnerable point between the
rings of it's body to sting it to death.
The attacking bee just as determined,
ly struggles to cover every %pnprotect.
ed spot. If sufficient time can be
gained and the attacking swarm is
