MRS. MARY ANN WILDER.
Death of Pioneer Woman Noted for
Her ma1k Charities.

BY the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Wilder
on Saturday afternoon San Francisco
loses another of those vigorous women
who helped to lay the foundations of So
ciety here in the early days, and who for
a long period of years has been among
the potent and helpful spirits Of the COM
munity.
Mrs Wilder was a Miss Watson. She
was born in Philadelphia in 1892, and was
therefore in her sixty-seventh year at the
time of her death. When yet a child she
removed with her parents to Indiana. and
when but two months more than IA years
old was married in that State to Lorenzo
Gnrargiola, with whom she came to this
CITY in 1856. Since her arrival here she has
lived continuously in San Francisco, and
therefore at the time of her death was
one of It's Oldest residents.
BY her first husband she was the moth
er Of eighteen children, of whom there re-
main to morn her loss seven: Mrs; Z.
cent Baraco Mrs. G. w. Granniss. Miss
Lillian NJ. Ingargiola, Frank 1ngargiola
and Augustus Ingargiola 1t was at the
home Of her youngest daughter, Miss In
garRiola. 1124 Bush street, that she died.
Her second husband, William X. Wilder

helm was needed in many ways, and Mrs.
Wider. although not trained physi-
clan or nurse, soon became mlnlSter1ng
comforter and friend to the sick and to
the poor For years she was active In
that tiia good work, and did not cease it IN
til her own strength broke down. with
hand maiatHs and purse she endeared herself to a
wide circle of men and women in all
classes of society, and was not only a
good wife, q noble mother and generous
Friend but one of those ministers of gen.
nine charity whose influences are wider
than can ever be known. Now that she he
| has passed from us, her face Will be
,,,issad in many q home, and keen sense
Of Of personal loss will be felt in hearts that
viii long cherish her memory and the re-
membrance of the thousand KIND deeds
and gentle observances that made the
t tenor of her earnest, loving and we'll
spent life.

CLASH AT SAN LUIS.

Lieutenant Belts, now in Wichita, gives
the first true account of the clash at San
Luis de Cuba to the Eagle. as we'll as re-
flutes several false stories in regard to the
Kansas company, familiar 70 readers of
this paper. Lieutenant Belts writes:
Closely following the departure of the
Twenty-third Kansas for Cuba last sum-
mer. came in rapid succession through the
columns Of the American press many false
reports concerning the conduct of the regi-
ment, en- route and after its arrival in
Cuba. The first of these reports emanated
from New York City and was published
broadcast over the country. II puroorted
to be an account of the Kansas saldi2@=.
in that city. wherein they were charged
with Iooting and pilfering lunch counters
and fruit stands and devouring all eatab,es

published that mutiny manifested itself

slanderous and malicious. There was not
a soldier in the two hattalions who had
not been well fed on the train from To-
peka 70 Jersey City. and when we landed
at pier %, Brooklyn, everyone was in
Sood humor and eager to get aboard the
steamers for Cuba, and all stories Of hung

without 4 shadow of foundation.

colored soldier in Cuba, and many papers
published articles rejecting upon the abI-
ity of all colored officers in the brigade.
OF course many of those malicious and I'M
lust articles were sent out by telegraph
from Santiago by someone not in SYM
pathy with the idea of colored officers for
colored troops for had he desired to do
Justice to all he would have published the
fact. that the sole regiment implicated in
the killing of those Cubans was the only
regiment of colored soldiers on the island
under command of white officers; instead
of attempting to poison the minds of the
public against colOred officers by sending
out reports that the trouble was caused by
the inability of such officers to control
their men, when he knew. at the very
time that the regiment with colored com
manders had nothing whatever TO do with
the killing Of the Cubans. He knew it,
hut the public did mott All along my route
from Cuba home I was accosted by many
people as to where our troops were locat-
ed. When I would tell them in San Luis
de Cuba some OF them would say: ooh.
yes; yours is the regiment that killed
those Cubans and stole that hog" As I
am kent busy expaining the position of
our regiment in that matter. and as it
seems as though the public has never been
given the fun and correct details of that
bloody affair, 7 shall endeavor to give the
facts in the case. and l might incidentally
remark that after the killing Brigadier
General Ewers appointed a committee Of
officers 10 thoroughly investigate the af-
fair and take all the evidence and reoart
a the earliest possible date. That board
consisted of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson.

BY this time the armed soldiers from
the Louisiana camp had reached the front
of the house. and in spite of entreaties
from a sergeant of the Twenty-third Kan
sas. not to shoot and kill innocent peo-
pie. they fired volley o. more. and after
the smoke had cleared away it was found
that the old man of the house his grand
son. the Cuban lieutenant and a Cuban
policeman had been killed and a Cuban
and child were both wounded. A little
later three companies under Major Harri-

also placed the Cuban police under arrest
and marched them TO the Ninth camp. The

ordered the Cubans released. In the mean
time General Ewers and the board ap-
pointed by him were making a rigid in
vestigatjon.
AS can he readily seen, the only regi-
ment connected with the unfortunate af-
fair was the Ninth immunes vet the
trouble was charged up by the newspapers

Cuba" At the time the supply Of water
in our camp had given out and We were
compelled to seek another location. The
papers in America published the report
that all soldiers were removed from San
Luis on account Of their connection with
the trouble Of November Il. Such reports
were false and unjust. The Twenty-third
regiment and the Eighth illinois were
moved on account OF the water supply
giving out and instead Of requesting their
removal from San Luis the citizens and
merchants all signed a petition exonerat-
ing the Kansas and Illinois soldiers from

The Twenty-third Kansas instead OF
making a record Of lawlessness in Cuba,

ters in the corral of an old sugar planta-
ton just west of San Luis and about a
quarter of mile from the quarters of the
Ninth Louisiana volunteers However. the
general line of the regiment included the
plantation. About three o'clock in the
afternoon several of the Ninth Louisiau
soldiers entered small Cuban shack near
the sugar plantation and purchased a piece
OF pork. The Cubans could not make the
change the soldiers started off with the
meat, eating it. AS they walked along
the Cuban drew his ever-present machete.
Another soldier promptly knocked him
down; another Cuban ran for the Cuban
policemen who were in the corral of the
plantation. The Cuban lieutenant with a
number of his men came around to arrest
the soldiers. The soldiers refused to be
arrested by the Cubans. and quite a wran-
gle was ensuing when a white American
lieutenant came up and tried to quell the
trouble. He ordered the soldiers to the
camp, but the Cuban officer did not want
them to go, he wanted to hold them in
arrest. As serious trouble seemed inevi-
table the American lieutenant sent to the
Ninth camp a message to Major Harrison
asking MIN 10 SeNQ uetdCnfneNL or SOL
diers to the plantation at once as seri-
Gus trouble was brewing. In the mean
time drunken Louisiana soldier was
threatening and abusing the Cuban leu
tenant and policeman. Finally the Cubans
Withdrew toward the house and this same
old soldier continued TO follow and threat
en- the Cuban officer. About this time a
body of armed soldiers from the Ninth
camp came running around the corner
OF the plantation. One of them who was
in the lead struck the Cuban lieutenant
In the face with his fist. The Cuban po-
lice entered the house. On the front porch
was standing the old man who owned the
plantation his grandson, a young man Of
about ~ years OF age. and another Gu
han with little child in his arms. The
colored soldier who struck the Cuban lieu
tenant ran across the porch. and as he ar
rived in front Of window, he raised his
gun to his shoulder. as though he in
tended to shoot into the house. When he
did that a report Of a gun was heard
from the inside and the American sol
