During the Advance On San-
tiago In the Late
War
LIEUT.. COL. ESKRIOGE
Of the TWenty-Third Infantry. On
His Way To Join His Regiment
In the Phillppines-StiII Carries
a CrutCh. But Is Anxious To Be
At the Head OF His Old Com
mdnd

Lieutenant Colonel Richard Isaacs
Eskridge, of the Twenty-Third in
fantry, is stoppicg at the Orndorff1 for
few days on his way to join his regi-
meu5 of the second battalion
stationed on the island Jolo, which is
about four hundred miles south of
Manila.
AS msjo of the Tenth infantry of
the fifth army corps, under Shafter.
Col. Eskridge took part In the San
tiago campaign AID was severely
wounded by schrapuel which entered
his back in the left side and lodged in
the abdominal cavity, and although the
doctors cut for it, and it was located by
the x rays, they were never able to
take it out.
The colonel was in the battle of San
tisgo, the assault on San Juan, and
the advance on Santiago, and
was promoted for gallantry
in the field. He was wound
ed on the morning of the second
day after they were entrenched before
Santiago. The schrapnel injured the
nerves of the leg but the doctors cay
that the trouble in not permanent.
Col. Eskridge has beer in various
hospitals about year on sick report.
By the orders of the adjutant general
he was sent to join his regiment, as he
advised the war department he could
do administrative duty aud preferred
to be assigned TO his old regiment.
Years ago the colonel was stationed
in Texas as captain of the Twenty
third regiment. When ordered to
Cuba he was stationed at Fort Reno,
Oklahoma.
In speaking of the state of affairs in
the Philippines and the conduct OF the
war he said: 1.-The people where my
regiment is stationed are very friendly
to the United States and General
Bates in his treaty arranged line of
intercourse also with the Sulu Island
ers and our government.
I'm my opinion the war will be
brought to close before another
rainy season starts in. 1 see no reason
to criticise General Otis campaign. I
believe he could have done better had
he issued q call for all the troops be-
fore the volunteers we're mustered
out, but l suppose this could not be
readily determined on at the time.
''He is an able, conscientious and
thorough man. Any officer is severely
criticised If he is not successful at the
start. It looks to me now though as if
he has AguinaldO about cornered.

United States ever thought that this

Paris to fulfil a long-given promise to be

He had just returned from the wedding

WOES OF AN INSTRUCTOR.
Tribulations of a West Point Teach
 CT Who Was Endorsed.

During the annual examination of the West Point cadets in the month of June, 1868. General Grant was a visitor to his alma mater. In the evening he spent an hour or two in the rooms of the board of visitors. General Pitcher, who was the super intendent of the post, and three of the board of visitors had been cadets when Grant was a cadet, so there were many good ''schoolboy days stories told by them. One evening one of the officers of the post told this story on himself:
 It was before the war; said the Instructor. ''I was giving the 'plebes' their first lesson on horse back. l saw that many of them look ed shaky. Indeed, 1 do believe that a few of thef had never been in the saddle before They were lined up just off the carriage way near the H. brary building and there was a line of carriages there with the anxious friends and relatives of the boys.
 Tt was hot day and some of the horses got ugly. You know what a West Point horse Is always-eyer

 Now, gentlemen, said l, don't feel nervous. All you've got to do is to sit firmly erect in your saddle. keep your knees tightly pressed to the horses sides and no horse in tine world will ever get the best of you.
 |EWell. there 1 was doubtless in the sight of those youngsters the per sonifcation of a horseman. While talking to them my horse danced about and did all sorts of gymnas- ties. and there they saw me taking no more notice of his doings than if l was on sofa.
 'SThen just as had told them that no horse in the world could get the best of them if they did what 1 told them to do, gun was fired on the plain just behind us and that horse of mine gave a tremendous jump backward, something broke, and 1 went clear over his head, body, soul and brooches.
 Everybody in the room smiled. Even the story teller had to smile Do you know what the effect of it all was?" ended the officer. ''Those boys fer the four years they were here after that, before they graduat- ed, wouldn't believe a damned word 1 said on any subject!'-New York Sun.
