An Incident of San Juan.

Lieutenant Berkeley. son in-law OF
Judge Bland, of Reading, held a hill at
San Juan with twenty men in the face
of the Spanish sharpshooters.
The following tale of heroism, pub
lished in the New York Sun, is of spe-
cial interest in Reading:
One of the incidents of the fight at
San Juan was the holding Of one of the
hills in front of it bv Lieut.. Hugh D.
Berkeley and twenty men of troop ID,
LIST United States cavalry. Lieutenant
Berkeley is from Virginia and has as a
wife, daughter of Hon. Fl. Willis
Bland, of Reading, Pa. About two
o'clock on July 1 he and his twenty
men got possession of crest of a hill
with firing front of about 500 yards,
and there they remained until the even
ing of the next day, when the First
cavalry was able to go to their assist
ance. They had terrible time of it..
They could not retire ana dared not ad-
vance. The Spaniards had the range
on them and shot alarmingly close ev-
cry time head showed Once Lieut..
Berkeley looked up over the crest of a
hill and bullet Kissed near his left ear.
After brief interval he thrust his head
up again and bullet whizzed close 20
other ear. He and his men endeavored
to locate the starting point of the bull
let, and at last determined that it was
a big tree some distance away. A vol
ley was fired at it and two sharpshoot-
ers plunged headlong to the ground.
The danger was averted, but the Spani
ards in front kept banging away and
cutting the crest of the hill with every
bullet. The lieutenant and his men did
as much execution as they could, but
that was not very much. They had
only five pieces of hard tack for the en-
tire thirty hours they were there. They
had to guard 500 yards of hill from the
enemy, and they were nearly worn out
when their regiment rescued them

Lieutenant Berkeley. referred to
above, is son of Col. Edmund Berke-
ly, of Prince William county. In his
younger days he was pupil of Po-
tomac Academy, Mr.. J. s. Blackburn,
principal.

Oppose Paving This Year

The protest presented to the council Mon
day evening by the property owners along
the streets on which it has been proposed
to lay paving this year, is certainly worthy
Of careful consideration by the council. A
very large percentage of the property own
ers ask the council not to have the work
done this year. The prevailing opinion is
that 1t should be known absolutely that the
sewers are all right before any paving is
done, and that no work should be under
taken until the sewer repairs have all been
made. The signers to the remonstrance
were:

The lingo Rest.

In the hush following great battle, to-
gether with the fervent and universal feel
Ing among our people of congratulatiOn and
gratitude over an unparalleled naval victor,
the jingos have been silent, and consequent
ly overlooked.
Tho the Cuban supplies must have been
cut off, as every one except the jingos knew
they would be as soon as hostilities began,
we hear nothing about suffering Cuba. Our
interest at present writing is concentrated
upon the naval arm of our forces, while the
insurgents who the jingos wanted to recog-
nize as a de fdcto government, are so scat
tering and seldom that it is almost impossi-
BILE to get a messenger to or from them, who
carries nothing heavier than information
even. And these are the men who. with
trifiing aid, were competent to clean out the
cut.throat Spanards, and 60 to keeping
house on their own account.
There Is an anxious feeling in the air that
our government has sprung trap on Cuba
and caught nothing; or are like chap who
rushed into q Hibernan's house to quell
family riot and was turned upon by the
whole family and pitched out into the gut
ter. Looks that way now, when the insur-
gents don't even step down to the waters edge
and shake hands with their deliverers, who
surely must be lowering around there like
mosquitoes at a summer health resort.
Where's William Alden Smith and his little
umbrella? And why don't he rush down
there pell NELL, and scare the starveling
soldiers away again?
Of course nobody has thought of it, but
what we want to know is news from Dewey
and Sampson, and If 1t will only come
ladened with Joy we are liable to forget all
about "the innocent cause of the war;" and
simply transfer our interests and aims
across the ocean. And In fact that would
be the proper caper, and let Cuba lie there
and rot, as she always does through the
rainy season, which will begin shortly and
last four months, during which time no
white man can live there The President
has postponed sending troops there for an
other week. and he better extend the fur
Tough four months. However, he might
induce those jingo congressman to enlist
and go there-it will be a great relief. Not
the least of which would be to dam the
steady stream of private pension bills they
are rushing through daily, in order to en-
sure their return to congress, as they i'm
poverish the treasury.
But nevertheless what we are hoping and
praying for now, Is that Sampson won't
| find his Delilah over east on the briny
deep, but that he will do as we'll as Dewey
only that and nothing more.

Resolution for the Prevention of Disease.
DIR. Ward never fails to present some
thing good when at the meetings of the
State Medical Society. The Detroit papers
refer In very complimentary terms to the
following resolution presented by the DIR.
at the meeting last week:
Whereas, tho men OF peace we are,
Foul crime has forced US into fight.
And whereas; tho opposed to war,
In deeds of daring we delight,
And whereas; from US IL is due
Right royalty our chief to aid,
In all that's loyal just and true,
No matter where our lines are laid.-
Therefore resolved, right now and here,
That we tender freely make,
or what In serving we can share,
For God and our loved countrys sake,
And in her hour of peril we
Stand ready with her fate to bide,
And freely, cheerfully agree
To fill her foes with germicides.
