Lieutenant Trull talked most entertain
ingly Of his experiences II got my dose
of Spanish pills the very first day, said
he. 1T was before we had fred shot,
and while / am on sick leave for two
months l am hopeful that will be able
to get back long before that time, SO
that can at least have the pleasure of
ordering one volley to be fired.
1t was on Friday, the first day Of
tho fighting, that ! was wounded. We
were then IA miles up from Siboney.
The Seventy-first was in the left center
of the First brigade Of the First divi-
sion, and we had received instructions
TO advance and hold a small stream of
water there. Then we were instructed
to hold our fire and await orders. We
reached the stream all right, and while
we were waiting for orders the sharp
shooters began to pick us off.
Corporal Immen was the first. He
was shot straight through the head. He
was standing up at the time and pitched
forward on his face. He did not die for
about 20 minutes, but he was uncon-
scious, and / don't believe he knew
what hit him. Then Private Mcintyre
had a piece of flesh about a quarter Of
an inch thick gouged out of his chest
by Mauser bullet He announced
quietly that he had been hit, and while
he was talking Private Kirby was shot
through the leg. Then Private Althause
said that he had got bullet in the leg.
All this time we were holding our fire !
and awaiting orders. You see those
Spanish sharpshooters were hidden in |
mango trees. The foliage is thick, much
thicker than any In the United States,
and as they used smokeless powder they
were hidden completely. And / want
to say here that all talk about Span
iards being towards is 5osh. They
fought like devils. They were strongly
intrenched, and when our forces charged
the fighting was desperate.
Shortly after Althause was hit felt
IN awful pain shoot through my right
arm. A Mauser bullet had gone clean
through the bones Of my hand, entering
the knuckles Of the second and
'hird fingers, smashing the bone and
coming out in slanting direction on
he inside Of the hand. My wound was
dressed and / was ordered

Is prospect OF more cigars to come.
Three weeks ago the steamer Myrtle

these there was about 1000 900 remain

as soon as this shipment was safely on
its way the factories Immediately
started TO work in Havana, and that
cable advices to that effect have been
received by interested persons in this
