hillside, two or three miles across the valley which parallels the mesa, a puff of white smoke arose, then another and still an other in quick succession.
 A short distance along the ridge, by the time perhaps the tenth puff was holding the at tention of the Rough Riders, the sharp crack of Mausers was wait ed across the intervening space. This was followed by an irregu- lar sputter, as Castillo's Cubans replied. The softer, keener music of the Krag- Jorgensens followed, signifying that General Lawton's s advanced lines were. getting in touch of the game of battle. While the eyes of the Rough Rid CTS were riveted on this engage ment, from the right flash came from the chaparral thicket on the mesa barely POO yards ahead. A score of Mauser bullets whis- tied over the heads of those in the foremost rank. This unex- pected attack quickly gave the Rough Riders an affair of their own to attend.
 "It's up to us, boys shouted Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, who was riding near the head of the column.
 When attacked, the Rough Riders were marching along a trail so narrow they could ad- vance only in single file. In this position the fire of the enemy was doubly dangerous.
 "Deploy! Lie downw Colonel Wood commanded.
 Troop L, which formed the ad- vance line, scattered, quickly sending volley in the direction of the Spanish bullets.
 The fire did not check the enc my, who advanced to the attack with great bravery, emptying their rifles as they came. The fire was delivered with too great

At 7 o'clock the Rough Riders entered the village of Altares. After short halt they began the long climb up the steep narrow trail which affords the only pas sage to Mount Grand Mesa, which shuts the city of Santiago from the sea. By this time the sun was beginning to be felt keenly by the men. Laden with full marching equipment they slowly toiled up the rocky path in single file. There was not enough air stirring to make d leaf futter. Along the hillsides several halts were necessary be- fore the men could reach the mesa. A dozen mules carried the reserve ammunition and hospital supplies. The beasts were affect ed by the heat also.
 Despite these obstacles the toilsome ascent finally was made and the refreshing sea breeze brought some trihing surcease. Before the Rough Riders there stretched for nine miles a com paratively level plateau half mile in width, dotted with chap arral thickets and frequently broken by small ravines.
 At the other extremity rose the battlements of ancient Moro, situated high on a point com manding Santiago Bay. The mesa Is traversed for about one third its length by Juraguasito Creek, narrow stream which is spanned at the village of Juragua- slto by a railroad bridge over which General Shafter hopes to send his heavy artillery.
 The view from the hilltop was a splendid one, as General Law tons columns slowly wound their way along, preceded by a skir- mish line to prevent surprise. The mules were dragging the battery along after the Twenty-ffth Infantry. The dy- namite siege gun had been car

WITH THE ROUGH RID- FRS, near Santiago, Friday, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 25. The first fight of the invading army took place here this morn ing six miles from the coast. The First Volunteer Cavalry, known as Roosevelt's Rough Riders, were ambushed by the receding Spaniards i'll a narrow path, with a barbed wire fence along its right side. It was impossible to see more than twenty feet through it at any time.
 The first sign of the nearness of the enemy was the presence of a dead Cuban lying across the road, and beyond him Spanish outpost. This was reported to Colonel Wood by scouts, and he sent one of the company down the trail and another through the jungle to the left and right.
 The Spaniards allowed the two scouts who were of the first troop, and Sergeant Hamilton Fish to pass down the trail unmolested, and then fired into the line of the men as they ran forward in sin gle file. The scouts were both wounded. Fish was shot through the side on line with his heart. He was killed instantly.
 Meanwhile Captain Capron's men lost their way and swung to the right, firing into their own men on that end. An order to cease firing was given, and Lieu tenant Colonel Roosevelt led the troops back to the left again, where the firing was hercest. It was here that Captain Capron was shot through the side over the heart, and died in few hours. He was one of the most popular captains and one of the best off, cers in the regiment.
 The men showed most splendid spirit and discipline, although all the conditions were absolutely against them. They could not see more than twenty feet away. The enemy was invisible. Their Mauser rifles smoke was indis- tinguishable, and men were fall- ing on every side of them with no enemy to retaliate upon. It might have tried the spirit of any but the thoroughbred fighters they are It is also to be remem- bered that this was the first time that large percentage of the men were under fire.
 The fight lasted two hours, during which time the ground covered was over half mile in width and mile in length. The Spanish fire was well directed, and as they knew the trail they could guess where to aim.
 Edward Marshall, Journal corre- spondent, was with Captain Capron and was shot through the side in two places. Stephen Crane. who. with J. 2
