they reached the crossing, which was
some time after the head of the column
passed there, and lost many men, the
blacks stood in line under fire, and as
the shells passed overhead saluted them

After alternately halting and moving
about along the river for over an hour
the regiment was lined up beside the
rough riders for attack upon ''Kettle
Hill, an elevation or spur between the
river and San Juan ridge. When the
barbed wire fence blocked their way.
the blacks rooted out the posts and tore
down the interlaced strands. all the time
under fire.
With one gallant rush altogether, not
the black alone, not the rough riders
alone. not the white regulars alone, but
in continuous line, the cavalry column
swept up the first slope. In going up
the Tenth lost officers and men, but
marched in good order to the house on
the hill, and the flag was planted in the
ground under fire from the ridge be-
yond and from San Juan blockhouse.
which the enemy still held.
On sKettle Hill the cavalry closed
ranks and then dashed down into a
hollow lying between the hill and the
ridge, the blacks cheering in all the ex-
ultation of battle. So desperate was this
rush for the main ridge that organiza-
tion was lost. and whites and blacks in
dividually fought shoulder to shoulder.
There was no difference in the bravery
displayed On San Juan ridge the Tenth
struck its trenches nearest to Santiago,
and held on two days, losing officers
and men. For it's charge that first day
the Tenth was highly praised.
One black sergeant, Foster. took COM
mand Of his company after the white
officers had fallen and led it up the
hill. He was rewarded by a commission
in the immune volunteers, and SO were

The Tenth lost II officers out of %
