some day we may look for a locomo-

hected with large gear wheel r1,n-

Ey this device the same travel of thf,

Then it will be necessary to provide
a sharp front to the train to avoid the
heavy air pressure and to devise some
practical safety rails to insure the
train sticking to them. These things
are coming Mark the prediction.

THE. ENGAGEMENTS
BEFORE SANTIAGO.

heavy rifle and shrapnel fire. All day
long we remained under this, replying
whenever We got the chance. In the
evening at about s o'clock the Span
iards fired three guns, and then opened
a heavy rifle fire, their skirmishers
coming we'll forward. l got all my
men down into the trenches, as did the
other command near me, and we opened
heavy return fire. The Spanish ad-
vance was at once stopped, and after
an hour their fire died away.
This night we completed most of
our trenches, and began to build bomb
proofs. The protection afforded to our
men was good, and next morning l had
but one man wounded from the rifle
and shell fire until II o'clock, when the
truce came. I do not mention the OFF,
GERS and men who particularly d1stn-
guiShed themselves, as l have nothing
to add i'm this respect to what was con-
tanned in my two former letters. There
were numerous Red Cross flags flying
in the various parts of the city, two of
them SO arranged that they directly
covered batteries in our front, and for
some time were the cause of our not
firing at them.
THE Spanish guerrillas were very
active, especially in our rear. where
they seemed by preference to attack
the wounded men who were being car
ried on litters, the doctors and medical
attendants with Red Cross badges ON
their arms and burial parties. / organ
lied a detail of sharpshooters, and sent
them out after these guerrillas, of
whom they killed thirteen. Two of the
men thus killed were shot several hours
after the truce had been in operation,
because in spite Of this fact they kept
firing on our men as they went to draw
water. They were stationed in the
trees, as the guerrillas were generally,
and owing to the density Of the foliage
and to the use Of srnokeless powder
rifles, it was an exceedingly difficult
matter to locate them.
For the next seven days, until the
10th. we lay in our line while the truce
continued. We had continually to work
at additional bomb-proofs and at the
trenches, and as we had no proper sup
ply of food and utterly inadequate
medical facilities, the men suffered a
great deal. The officers Clipped to-
gether and purchased beans, tomatoes
and sugar for the men, so that they
might have some relief from the bacon
and hard tack With a great deal of
difficulty we got them coffee.
LAS for the sick and wounded, they
suffered SO in the hospitals when sent
to the rear for lack of food and atten-
tion that We found 1t best to keep them
at the front, and give them such care
toned in my previous letter, thirteen of
our wounded men continued to fight
through the battle in spite of their
wounds. and Of those sent to the rear
many, both of the sick and wounded,
came up to rejoin US as soon as their
condition allowed them to walk, most

of the worst cases being ultimately sent

"On the 10th the truce was at an end,
and the bombardment reopened. AS far
as our lines were concerned, 1t was on
the Spanish part very feeble. We suf-
fered no losses, and speedily got the fire
from their trenches in our front COM
pletely under.
"On the 11th We were moved three
quarters of mile to the right The
truce being ON again, nothing happened
here except that we confined to watch,
and did our best to get the men, es-
pecially sick, properly fed, and having
no transportation and being able to get
hardly all through the regular channels,
We used anything We could, capturing
Spanish cavalry horses, abandoned
mules, which had been shot but which
our men took and cured, diminutve.
skinny ponies, purchased from the
Cubans, etc. By this means, and by
the exertions of the officers, we were
able from time to time to get supplies
Of beans, sugar, tomatoes and even oat-
NEAL while from the Red Cross people
we got our invaluable load Of rice,
cornmeal, etc, all Of this being OF the
utmost consequences, not only for the
sick, but also for the nominally
we'll, as the lack of proper
food was telling terribly on the
men. 1t was utterly impossible to get
them clothes and shoes, those they had
in many cases literally dropping
to pieces.
"On the 18th the city surrendered.
On the 18th we shifted camp here, the
best camp we have had, but the march
hither under the monday sun told very
heavily on our men, weakened by
under feeding and overwork, and the
next morning 1913 cases were reported
to the doctor, and I now have but half
Of the 600 men with which l landed
four weeks ago fit for duty. AS we had
but one wagon, the change necessitated
leaving much of my stuff behind, with
a night of discomfort, with scanty
shelter and scanty food for the most of
the officers and many of the men,
Only the possession of the improvised
pack train alluded to above saved US
from being worse. Yesterday / sent in
detail of six men and officeres to see If
they could not purchase or make ar
rangements for a supply Of proper food,
clothing, etc, for the men, even if we
had to pay for it out of our own pock-
cts Our suffering had been due pri-
marily to lack of transportation and
proper food or sufficient clothing and Of
medical supplies. We should now have
wagon sheets for tentage. Very re-
spectfully,
