ROOsEyELT's R UGH RIDERS,

The American people were thrilled at
the account of the first battle fought on
Cuban soil between the Spanish troops
and Roosevelt's Rough Riders on June
81 within eight miles Of Santiago.
Though taken by surprise and outnum
bcred by the enemy, who We're con-
cealed In the high grass and cilaparal,,
the American heroes put the Spaniarls
to flight and inflicted heavy losses upon
them. Tho Americans displayed gal
lantry of the highest order and faced
death untllnchingly. They were led by
Col. Wood and Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt in
person and the latter had a narrow es-
cape, a bullet from a Mauscr rife hav-
ing struck tree beside which he was
standing. AS the enemy was invisible
and the Rough Riders exposed, the al
vantage was all with the Spaniar.ls.
About II Americans were killed and
| about three times the number wounded
some Of them quite seriously. The first
to lose his life in the battle was Ser
gcant Fish, of New York. the son OF 4
banker and man Of fine physique. He
fell pierced to the heart as he was
marching forward along a narrow tran
at the head of the first troop of the
eight, following each other in single
file with a barb wire fence on the left
and a dense thicket on their right.
Capt. Allyn X. Capron, commander of
another troop, was by his side and
fell mortally wounded.
Some critics blame Gen. Shafter Tor
allowing his brave men to be ambushed
and slaughtered as they were, but prob
ably he is not to blame. as the Rough
Riders asked to be sent forward as
quickly Us possible to meet the Span

The other day in New York, an Irish
lad 16 years old named Fred Power ap-
piled at the navy yard to enlist. The
recruiting officer rejected him because
he was not citizen and was under asc.
The young fellow felt greatly disap-
pointed and said: my brother was a
sailor on the Maine. He los. his life
in the explosion in Havana harbor. My
mother, with whom l lived at C,oss
Haven, county Cork, Ireland, read the
news Of my brothers death. The shock
was too much for her and she died that
same day. decided to come to this
country and avenge the deaths of
brother John and my mother by becom-
ing soldier" The reporter of the Chi
cago Tribune who gives the item of
news says that the young Jrishman is a
square built lad with an honest face,
and that he seems to have the pluck
which is the making Of a good man.
The Cork county organization Of New
York should look after the brave boy
and care for him.

Father Sheehy, Of Limerick, was a
visitor at the Office of The Irish Standard
last Thursday. He is going to deliver
illustrated lectures OH Ireland in St.
Paul and Minneapolis. The patriotic
priest is we'll known to the Irish race in
the United States from his connection
with the Irish National League in the
days of Buckshot Foster He was DEEM
ed worthy to be cast into prison for ad-
yocating the cause of the oppressed tell
antry of Ireland, and that fact alone en-
titles him TO the gratitude of every man
and woman of the Irish race in the Twin
Cities. The proceeds arising from his
lectures will 60 toward the erection of a
church in the diocese of Limerick FIR.
Sheehy is now on a tour of the North
west and will so as far as the Pacific
coast. He will return home about the
beginning of the winter. His record
as a patriot alone should make his tour
grand financial success; but as a
speaker FIR. Sheehy occupies high rank
and those who hear his lectures will be
pleasantly entertained and charmed
with his Irish eloquence and beautiful
stereopticon views of Ireland.

Chippewa. SCOTS soldiers lie buried in

Chippewa. SCOTS soldiers lie buried in
| Canada, but no American flag floats
over them.
Thousands Of American soldiers lost
their lives in Mexico in the many bat
| ties fought under, the stars and Stripes
from the Rio Grande to Buena Vesta and
from Vera Cruz to the capital. The
killed were buried necessarily where
they fell, but no American flag waves
| over their bones.
Mexico would be far more valuable
acquisition to the territory of the Unit
ed States than the distant Philippines,
Canada would be prize worth having
If only for it's ice supply. When will
Senator Morgan pass the Rio Grande
with an army as valiant as Taylors or
| cross the st. Lawrence at the head os
one more fortunate than SCOTS. AS
Abraham said unto Lot or Lot unto
Abraham, 1t is not now great matter
which, The worlds before you, where
to choose Shall we take Mexico first
and leave Canada for dessert or, con-
sulting our convenience, postpone in
vasion of the warmer climate until
after the rainy season?
No great natural barriers separate us
from our neighbors on the north and on
the south. What a glorious destiny, a
manifest destiny for the great North
American republic, which will possess
every rod Of ground between the Arctic
circle and the Isthmus of Panama! We
will be able incidentally to Christianize
and humanize Canada and teach it's peo-
pie who will become our people the
proper pronunciation of the English
tongue. The people of these countries
ought to have something to say? Nom
sense! Thirteen-inch shells have ex-
ploded the doctrine of the American
declaration.
When will the Morgan expedition
march?"
In a recent issue of the Irish Stand
ard there appeared an interview with
| Congressman James Hamilton Lewis, of
the State of Washington, In which he de-
clared that the desire of the Britons for
an alliance with the United States
springs from the fear that this country
will enforce the Monroe doctrine not
only by driving Spain from off the
Western hemisphere, but by taking hold
Of Canada and the British-Columbian
possessions and ordering John Bull to
depart bag and baggage from the Amer
lean continent If Uncle Sam wants
territorial expansion he can begin oper-
ations near home OF course he has all
the territory he wants, but that is moth
ing. Minnesota alone is exactly as
large as England and Ireland combined,
and though its population is but one
third that of Ireland, and it's fertile
prairies, it's pineries and it's mines can
give room and employment to 40 mil
lions of Industrious people, yet that does
not matter if Uncle Sam grows am
bilious to work out his manifest des-
tiny" and show the effete monarchies
of the earth that he is more powerful
than they have given him credit for.
Therefore it is that he wants to go out
side his boundary lines and gobble up
everything in sight. We caution Can
ada to be on Fer good behavior while
Uncle Sam has his war paint on or SHE
may get annexed one of these days.
