reports Of General Y Dung q aids that
the Spanish TANKS were turned stimuli

I Galbraith' q regular troops formed q
d junction with w God, and then the line
Of battle was continuous from end to
END, from wainwright on the extreme
right to the left Of the rough riders.
The fight lasted about / hour and 40
minutes from the time the Hotc kiss
gun first opened until the Spanish tanks
were turned. There was some firing for
90 minutes more, but it all ended at
8 asa. m. General Young sent orders
up the line not to follow the Spaniards.
The day was very hot. His men were
very tired and were wet through from \
heavy rain that had fallen the night be-
fore. The line was rearranged in the ex-
pectation Of q counter attack. sls
The Spanish largely outnum bered the
Americans at Las Guasimass Their pa,
pers boasted that 1880 Of their men
had checked the whole American army.
Oubans asserted that the Spaniards
numbered 5000 that day. Other esti-
mates placed it at 2, 500. Young s total
force was 965. lss
After the battle General Young adj
mitted to Wheeler that he ( Young) had
made one mistake after all He said
that that was in the matter of deploy-
ment as his column advanced. One troop
had diverged to the left instead of go
ing in direct. General Wheeler replied:
II have watched the game from start to
finish, and if I had it to do over would
not change one iota of your plan, I new
er witnessed battle that was carried
out so entirely without change Of plan. =
The only interference on the part Of
General Wheeler was to urge General
Young personally to keep under cover.
General Young is a giant in stature.
His exposure that day, noticed and COM
mented on by all, was not done for
bravado. He did it to set an example to
officers and men who had never been
under fire before. He thought that if
they saw their general taking the usual
risks it would have a good effect.
General Young said to Wheeler that
he had throughout the utmost confidence
Of success, adding: General, if | had
lost this battle and still lived, you
would have my resignation. My object
of fighting this battle was to get Las
Guasimas for the army's camp. y
The total loss in General Young's
command was IS killed and wounded.
The strength of the squadron of rough
riders was about equal to the strength
Of the squadrons of the First and Tenth
cavalry present. The rough riders lost
eight killed and the regulars eight In

Birom were wounded. Seven out of the

lNrS. =. II. Pratt Tells OF Another Bliz-
zard in the State Of Her Adoption.
DEAR Union: Yes, we have had
another blizzard in '.beautiful
Florida. 8 Four years ago we had
the first severe freeze since our AZ
rival here in December, 1890, when.
the mercury registered Il above
zero, and orange trees and all
other tender vegetation were killed
to the ground. But the orange
trees had sprouted from the Old
roots and were bearing a good deal
of fruit again, 50 that last years
crop amounted to considerable.
On the morning Of the 18th inst,
a cold rain commenced falling and
we soon noticed that it was freez-
ing. We at once commenced
banking the trees with earth and
doing what we could to protect
anything that seemedNl likely to suf-.
fer, but the rain increased and so
did the cold. until we had a regu-
lar Yankee blizzard with the mer-
curry at zero. About dark the
storm changed to large feathely
fakes Of snow, which continued to
fall for two or three hours, then
the clouds cleared away, but a
fierce northwest wind continued to
blow all night and all the next day
and night. Our5houses are nearly
all set up from the ground and all
open underneath, with single floors,
and SO the frost had full swing and
Of course by the time the freeze
