and Tenth cavalry keeping a good line
across the clearing and making straight
for the Red House.
Carroll's brigade, moving to the
right of Woods, found the hill beyond
the hedges and fences steep and rocky.
The men clambered up and at the top
reached level ground-in fact, the tlelds
and yards of country house. Their
position was swept by fire from Spanish
intrenchments in front. No Spaniards
were seen by Carroll's men, but they
had been there and could be seen BY the
men of Colonel Woods brigade, rapidly
retreating to the right. The Tenth cav
airy unfurled its colors, planted its
stats in the ground at the Red House,
which Immediately drew a heavy ire
from the Spanish in San Juan fort. The
time is set down by the Tenth cavalry
as about noon. In Carroll's brigade this
first hill was called "Kettle Hill' be-
cause there were some huge iron CAL
drons set up at the crest. Near these
kettles the flag Of the Third cavalry
was planted.
Soon after reaching the hill, Colonel
Carroll, commanding the brigade, was
shot, Lieutenants Thayer and Meyer OF
the Third wounded and Hamilton of
the Ninth killed. In the ascent OF the
hill Lieutenants Smith and Ship OF the
Tenth were killed and Lieutenant Rob-
erts wounded. Judging N-om the num-
ber of cavalry officers hit on this FIRST
hill. it would seem that those who estl-
mated the casualties suffered at the
creek, was from rs to copper cent OF the
total may be mistaken. The Spanish
fire encountered here was from San
Juan blockhouse, later taken by the IN
fantry, from the ridge still farther on
in the American front and an intrenched
house located there. When the cavalry
was in possession of this San Juan or
"Kettle Hill" General Sumner gave or
ders to the First cavalry not to leave
the hill. Said he, "We must make a.
stand here in case our folks are driven
out of our extreme front. There were
then on the hill three troops OF the
Third cavalry and a few rough riders,

Colonel Vieles caution about firing
was timely, for there were many OBJ
stacles to be passed which would break
the line, and besides Kent's infantry on
the left Of the cavalry was already
working toward the blockhouse. The
two columns were to converge slightly
before reaching their separate goals and
might in the excitement Of battle mis-
take each other for the enemy. The
gallant Hawkins, leader Of Kent's ad-
vance brigade, impatient to dash at San
Juan blockhouse, which he declared
that he could take in the flank, passed
up the road to the front, while the cav
airy was halted in the bed of the creek.
Said a cavalry officer, Hawkins was
the finest soldier there, and the cavalry
knew him well.' All the older regular
officers are known to all the other cffi-
GERS and to the long service privates as
well, because promotion takes them
from one regiment to another. Hence,
although Skaters was a new army, it
was by no means an army Of strangers.
It was about noon when the line Of
the cavalry division was actually formed
for attack on the ridge il it's front, the
ground having been -econnoitered and
points for attack shown to leaders Of
regiments and squadrons. AS usual in
such cases, the exact time was not noted
down, and perhapsithe term noon may
be used to cover the time between IL
and O'Clock. An officer of the First
cavalry said it took three hours to pass
down the road from Ell Poso to ''Hell's
Crossing, and that the march began at
$50. About ~ hours seem to have
been passed in the bed Of the creek by
some of the cavalry, perhaps by all.
It should be remembered that this
was midday, and tropical midday at
that. The soldiers, when inactive, could
barely keep their feet. They were in a
valley without a breath of air. They
were wet, some to the knees and some
to the waist, from wading in the
streams. For more than an hour they
had seen the dead and wounded brought
into the angle, victims OF the Spanish
marksmen in front of them on the crest
of the ridge. It was this time, if at all,
that the general impulse to charge the
hill swept down the line. Regiments,
battalions and companies had been
formed to attack. Full directions had
been given with the exception Of the
word ego" It is said that just then a
volunteer field officer, who all the morn
ing had been rather heard than seen
outside of his own regiment, called out
with theatrical wave Of the hand:
"This hill must be taken! If there are
three men here who will go with me,
we will take it!'' Already parts of the
line were in motion, and shortly the
entire column surged forward, carrying
the excited volunteer along with it, or
perhaps swallowing him up, for he was
not seen by the regulars again until
they had planted their standards on the
first hill.
DISTINCTIONS were encountered every
few rods. At the outset there were two
