WheeIer's Cavalry division compris,

Wheeler s Cavalry division comprised
two regiments of colored troopers, the
Ninth ana Tenth regulars. These regi-
ments displayed gallantry at San Juan
hill fully equal to that of the white
troopers. Kent's division Of infantry,
which took the San Juan blockhcuse,
trenches and bridge, included the
Twenty fourth colored regiment. This
command was formed in 1869 by the
consolidation of the Thirty eighth and
Forty-first colored troops. 1t was first
commanded by Abner Doubleday and
later by Ronald S. Mckenzie, both dis
tinguished major generals of the civil
war. General Kent himself was the
proper colonel of the regiment when he
went to Cuba, but he commanded the
division in that campaign
The story of the charge at San Juan
hill is so we'll known that it is only
necessary to give any regiment it's full
credit to say that it was in the front
line. On the front line that day the
Twenty fourth took it's baptism of fire
1t was brigaded with the Ninth and
Thirteenth infantry under the command
of Colonel Wikoff, the only general off
Ger killed at Santiago.
The Twenty fourth had $50 men in ac-
ton and lost II killed and 20 wounded.
There were two officers killed and six
wounded, a total of eight casualties out
of 90 officers Company D lost all of it's
officers. Captain A. G. Ducat led the
company to the blockhouse and while
fighting with musket was shot through
both thighs by the Mauser of retreat
ing Spaniard. Lieutenant Quincy Of
that company was killed at the bank of
the river
The crisis for the Twenty fourth at
San Juan was when it reached the bank
of the river. Colonel Wikotf had been
shot. and his successor. Colonel Worth,
lay in the bed of the river wounded,
and the situation was one to try the
bravest troops. There was steady fire
of Mausers from the blockhouse and
trencheson the hill. The Spaniards saw
the black regiment advancing and did
their best to stampede it, thinking that
it men supposed to have SO Little moral

that if any were unable on account of

be excused, and not man would take

Manila, Nov, Barring a con

pinos may be successful. AguInaldo
is surrounded on the three sides and
the lines are being rapidly closed.
Within two or three days the
success or failure of the campaign
designed to corral lhe iusurgent
government will become apparent.
Generals Lawton and Wheaton
are approaching each other rapidly
General Young's advance gnard
left San Jose to-day with the inten-
ton of reaching Humanigan, about
eight miles to the northwest to-
night. Meantime, General Wheaton
should be approaching San Nichol-
as, which is due east to San Fabian,
where he landed and short dis
tance north of Humanigan. He may
be delayed, however, owing to the
condition of the roads, which has
been rendered almost impossible by
recent rains.
Part of General Lawton's force is
moving on Carranglan, from which
point the trail leads oyer the noun
tains. It is reported that Aguinal.
do was at Tarlac as late as Wednes
day. A telegraph operator, cap
tured by General Young's men on
Friday, carried dispatches from
Tarlac, directing certain insurgent
forces to retreat tQ B9ambang to
Aritao over the mountains, This
makes it look as though Aguinaldo,
when he issued these orders, had not
been informed of General Whea-
tons movements, and that Whea-
ton may come upon him in the rear
and take him by surprise.
General Macarthur is advancing
today to take Bamban, and may
possibly attack Capas. Both of
these towns are a short distance
south Of Tarlac. If, therefore, Ag-
uinaldo has remained in the latter
town, his position is precarious, and
he will find it difficult to extricate
himself, provided Wheaton is in the
rear.

BOTH POOL ROOMS CLOSE
Playing Not Heavy Enough to
Support Them.
EXPENSES TOO HEAVY
By Mutual Consent the Proprietors OF the
Two Esta Dlishments Withdraw
From Business in
Anaconda.

The cry, They're off, is heard no
n ore in the Turf Exchange and in the
Centennial saloons, on Main street, and
the Anaconda followers of the bangtaiis
are Disguised with the turn affairs have
taken.
The two pool rooms made the an
nouncement yesterday morning that
they would close their doors and would
accept no more playing in their estab-
lishments The two places were not or
dered to close, but the proprietors had
a mutual understanding and the shut
ting up of business is due to the lack
of racing bettors in the city.
There were two pool rooms in the city.
One was located in the Centennial sa-
loon and was operated by Emil Hanson.
! The other one was in the Turf Elk
change saloon, Martin & Johnson being
| the proprietors
The Centennial pool room was the
! older establishment of the two. it hav
ing opened up more than year ago.
! 1t did thriving business up to about
| six weeks ago, when the Turf Elk
! change room was opened. 1t is said
that the latter place was opened on the
report that the Centennial was making
! barrels of money, and the Turf Elk
| change people wanted to get slice CT
| the pie.
The playing on the races in this city
| was not high enough to support two
| pool rooms, and it was just a matter of
| time when one of the two places would
| have to close up business. The owners
held out as long as possible, and Mon
day evening they discussed the matter
| and decided that the best thing to do
| was to quit. This they did yesterday
| morning.
Emil Hanson, proprietor of the Cen
tennial pool room, was seen yesterday
| and asked if the places had not been
| closed on account of some heavy win
nings lately. He said:
No; the pool rooms have not been
| closed on account of our having suS-
| tanned heavy losses. There was no
playing and we had to close up. When
! penses were doubled, and as there was
| hardly enough play for one room it was
I impossible to keep OPEN.
| The expenses of running a pool room
| are very high, those in this city exceed
| ing 500 per day. Each room has to
| take the results of two tracks, and as
| the Western Union Telegraph company
| charged 1872 for each track this made
the telegraph bill s64 day. The men
who are employed about the place are
paid good money. The telegraph ope-
rator, the ticket writer, combination
writer, the cashier and the board writer
each receive SIS a day. The Scout .
whose duty it is to report the odds that
are posted at the other pool ROOM re-
ceived So a day Then there is the tele-
phone bill, the light bill, the printing.
etc, which easily bring the expenses to
more than $500 day.

that he owed the Missoula Mercantile
company $1,000, secured by chattel

dition to that mortgage he declared
that he had other debts amounting to

bring $4,000, but if sold at forced sale
would not net more than $4,000. He eX
