of American artillery that had been
brought to the front began to bark, and
tie enemy replied promptly with artil-
lery and yolley firing. Bullets by hun.
dred could be heard whistling above our
heads, and many were killed and
wounded just back where our regiment
had left the trail to advance. The Third
and Sixth Cavalry had not been dis
covered by the Spaniards, SO continued
to crowd forward few yards at time

the foot of San Juan hill It was here

wounds bandaged was sent to the
hospital at Sibony. Here l remained
two weeks and was then sent to New
York on the Seneca, about which boat
probably the least said the better. Spent
nearly three weeks in Bellevue Hospital,
New York, where every reasonable wish
was gratified and the treatment included
everything, leaving nothing undone that
would make the soldiers more comfort
able. Here, as in Cuba, we saw evil
dence of the good work that was done
and is now being done by the Red Cross
Society.
The foregoing is but brief resume of
one recruits experience, leaving out
nearly all the unpleasant or disagreeat lie
features connected therewith-and there
were a few of these. American nerve
and pluck won the day, and these being
qualities for which our people have ever
been famed, the United States may be
upon to dispose of any similar
trouble in the years to come, whether
Spain or some other power be the
offender. EDWARD A. HUNT.
