AlVa Thorpe at EI Caney.

Alva Thorpe who is lying in hos
pital at Cincinnati, wrote the follow
ing letter, dated Sept ., from MoHtauk
Point, n. Y, concerning his experience
in Cuba: 1--WE landed on the 25th of
June at Baiquiri and started next day
for Siboney and csmped there 'till the
3Oth of June. The order came to
break camp at 6 p. M, and we all roll
ed up and got ready and then sat
around till about p. m. before the
order to march came. Then we start
ed off over the mountains, every one
feeling good, but when we got to the
camping place about a. m, we were
ready to roll in, but were not ready to
roll out at 8 q. m. Some went with
out breakfast and we marched till
about o a. M, when q halt was called
TO stack arms, but not to leave the
stacks. We could hear the firing then
and knew we would see some before
night. We fell in about II o'clock and
marched about two miles and the or
der was given to throw rolls and q
man from each company was left to
guard them.
Well | never could keep directions
in my head and don't know which
way we went but we got into "a road
OF some kind with wire fence grown
over with vines till you could not see
on either side. 1t was right behind
the hill of FL Caney that the oath and
25th Ccolored) regiments had taken.
They were upon the hill at the time,
firing down into the city of FL Caney.
We were lying fiat on our bellies down
in the road and the bullets were COM
ing down over the hill and on us pref
ty fast, don't see how we got strung
along that road without more being
shot. Only one man in my company,
(Co. F) was shot and he only in the
leg We lay there in the road for
about half an hour, with the bullets
flying over us, and l had plenty OF
time to think about 1t but was not the
least bit scared. When the order
came for US to move forward on the
hill we all got up and filed through a
hole in the fence and went to the top
OF the hill to relieve the "a and 25 reg
iments, and they went down for some
rest.
IL WAS a snap nm there We could
raise our heads and look into the town
but we could never see Spaniard ex.
cept bunch that would run from one
house to another when we could get q
good shot at them. There was no one
but our captain, (Rodman,) shot uI
there out of Co. F., but you could hear
them yelling for doctors all along the
line. There were some dead negroes

GALLANT BOYS.

1t is a mighty hard matter to hold
a private talk with the returned sol
dier without matching a fight with
dozen men, who are attempting the
same thing. The lola boys at San
francisco are now all pretty well ac-
clmated and are strong and well.
From the day of their arrival there
they have been treated very hand
somely by the Red Cross and Catholic.

breach and distributed medicines and
nourishing foods to the sick soldiers
when these could be obtained no.
where else. And then the people of
tie city, the well-to-do and the veal
thy all had an open hand for the boys
and he was an exceptional youth who
within a month had not several places
where he called regularly and wac
invited to eat himself into an early
grave.
The boys have drilled regularly and
have reached point of efficiency sur
passed by no other volunteers. They
have been successfully commanded
by general Merriam Otis, Merriman,
and (at presently Miller, and are ex.
pecting Gen. Shafter soon to return to
HE old station and take command of
them. They have been hot and cold
uith axpaotation oil tho tit,,a and aro
now uncertain whether they will 60
forward or stand still or return to
Leavenworth and be mustered out.
The general impression now is that
they will remain until peace commits
sion has adjourned and that the mus
tering out will come about New Years.
In reference to the Funston-Little
controversy, the regiment and all the
officers are with Col. Funston. Chss-
tain says that the boys have heard
less about the matter than have the
outsiders. but Pm Funston man,
he concluded.
There are 5000 troops now in camp
there, Kansas, Iowa, Tennessee.
Washington and California. The
Tennessee and Kansas boys are cro-
MES and the hot blooded Tennesseeans
are as ready to fight for an insulted
Kansan as for themselves and all of
them fight at the drop of hat.
All the boys want to go to Honolulu
or to Manila, and Would chip in to nav
the fine of any insurgent who will
start rough house which they will
be called upon to put down.
The boys have suffered very
severely from the climate, hot days
and cold nights, and have had colds,
rheumatism and spinal meningitis.
The cold season is now about over and
the rainy season, the warmer part of
the year, is about to begin. The fogs
In summer and the rains in winter
are all that make the heat endurable.
now, however, that they have passed
the worst part of the year, are more
used to the climate, are excellently
well drilled, will need to have no win
ter quarters erected, the boys think
they have chance to see the finish
of the war.
And in the meantime, all the home
folks are very glad to get verbal testi-
mony that "the boys" are well and
to see one Of them.

Turning Out Sweetness.


Monday morning the gas was
turned on and the wheels of Mr..
Claiborne's sorghum mill began to
grind. Only few short years ago
the mill was started when not enough
sugar cane was raised around here to
wet small boys sugar tooth. BY
doing business which gave the ut
most satisfaction to his customers and
by urging them to plant more ex-
tensively, Mr.. Claiborne has greatly
increased the plant and its output.
This year from all over the county
cane is being hauled here in quantities
far surpassing the records of previous
years. The crop is abundant and is
remarkably uniform in quality.
Nearly every patch of cane turned out
first class.
This result, coming in year when
small fruits, apples, peaches, pears,
all the toothsome sweets of the long
winter-have proved an utmost total
failure, is very gratifying. The large
amount of first class cane, will be
changed into sorghum and scarcely

half way to the river where we were trans
ferred to scow and further up the river
we were met with lumber wagons which
took us to the town. found Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper well. They have nice restaurant
business and it is the only house here that
gets fifty cents meal, the others are down
to twenty-five and thirty cents. 1t is dull
here now, however, but another rush is ex-
pected this summer. 1t never gets dark il,
summer and one can read paper any time
of night while out on the streets. The
scenery is something grand. 1t is quite a
novelty to look out and see large GLACIERS
hanging almost over your head. Mrs.
Cooper and are going over the summit to
make arrangements to go to Dawson. l do
not think Mr.. Cooper will go. Most likely
he will stay here and continue the restaur-
ant.
There are almost numberless log huts
and tents here and some of them seemingly
are too small for anyone save child.
| There is no one here whom / know except
Charles Allen of St. Paul. He is working
in hotel. The others are all at the lakes.
The next rush is expected in July. Any.
one who is thinking of coming up here will
be in time to come the last of June or the
first of July, 1t has been decided that the
railroad is going through here and that will
bring all the traffic over this trail. 1t is
said that this is the best trail in summer, as
it is impossible to go over the SkagAay
trail at that time. The boats are landing
at Dyea now and that makes it much more
convenient.
Mr.. Joe BraXton called to see us last
week. He is in the best of health and his
face is covered with whiskers. They all
say he is the best walker on the trail and
one Of the best workers up here. He has
made the best time in getting his things
over of anyone. He worked day anc
night, and he walks over the summit like
one going up Second avenue. There i,
only one case of sickness here and everyone
seems in good heart. Skaguay has more
people, but Dyea will be the better bust
ness place in s,II4mer. r. r. Brown anC
family have gone into Dawson. 1 will b,
pleased to give any informtion about th'
country at any time.
