FIRST UP SAN JUAN HILL
Captain Ducat Led the Advance
in the Famous Conflict.
STRUCK BY A MAUSER BALL
Santiago Campaigner Talks Interesting
ly OF the Thrilling Adventures OF
Himselfand His Comrades in
the Memorable Battle.

Captain A. c. Ducat, one of the Off
GERS of the oath United States infantry,
one of the two colored regiments
which SO distinguished themselves at
San Juan hill in the big battle before
Santiago de Cuba, was a visitor to
Butte yesterday for a few hours. Cap
tain Ducat was one of the officers who
won great names for themselves in
that fierce engagement for gallantry
and genuine fighting qualities. His
was the first company up San Juan
hill and he was at the head of it,
where he fell pierced by a Mauser
bullet, just as the heights were won,
the bullet causing a wound which,
had it been from anything but Maui
ser, must necessarily have proven ia
tai Captain Ducat is entirely recov-
cred from the effects of his wound and
is the same magnificent specimen of
Ephysical manhood he was before that
tunemora BILE experience. He stands full
ssix feet in height, weighs over 200
spounds, is a trained athlete and has
mot an ounce of supert1uous flesh. He
lis the ideal soldier and has all the
genial, gentlemanly qualities character
seen years of actual fighting service.
Captain Ducat saw much hard SER
vice with the Indians as a lieutenant
in his regiment long before he was
promoted to captain, and went to Cuba
at the head of a company. At San
Juan he was leading the charge up
the hill and vaulting over a Spanish
entrenchment almost landed on top of
a vicious knife in the hands of one of
the enemy, who had dropped his gun
in the scramble and who aimed a
thrust at the captains heart, which
must have ended his fighting days but
for his GOODNESS and presence of mind.
With the butt of his revolver he felled
the Spaniard, disarmed him and sent
him to the rear as a prisoner. An
instant later he was again leading his
command and in taking the last en-
trenchment, he received the wound
which came so near resulting fatally.
He had ordered his men to lie down
for a volley, but was himself standing
when the Spanish fired their last vol
ley before the retreat. He received
a Mauser bullet in the left thigh and
ranging upward and across, it passed
through both groins and lodged in the
right thigh in almost exactly a relative
position to where it had entered the
left. He was carried to the rear On
a stretcher improvised from a tent
canvas and bamboo poles and that
hospital giving up the better accom-
modations provided for him to an I'M
fortunate soldier whom he thought was

Dear Sirs: Notice of my reelection
received. I thank you for the same, but
owing to circumstances cannot accept

This referred to her selection as one
of the school teachers. 1t was jokingly
| suggested by one of the trustees that
the letter be sent back for specifications
as to the circumstances referred to. The
resignation, however, was accepted
The invitation of the Fourth of July
celebration committee to participate in
the festivities was unanimously ac-
cepted.
An application from P. J. Cooney for
position as teacher was read and re-
ferred.
In the matter of the insurance of the
new grand piano. the committee found
that the insurance covering the furnit-
ure of the school included any addi-
tional article that might be added to
the complement, and the piano was con-
sidered a part and parcel of the gen
eral furnishings. The clerk was in
structed. however, to secure an indorse-
ment from the agency including the
piano in the policy.
Superintendent Hendricks stated that
the proposition of the High school class
of SO giving an entertainment had been
referred to the class and that the latter
had decided to give the entertainment
one week from tomorrow night in the
gymnasium room of the High school
building. 1t was ordered that the pro-
gramme be printed and that Zle baby

clusion.

The Aluminium street contract was
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-21

awarded to A. Laden. The bids as to
Walkerville were passed for one week
in order to give the board chance to
more thoroughly investigate the report
that the Blue Wing Mining company is
working directly beneath the proposed
site of the new school house.
Mr.. Macdonald moved that the ar
chitect be instructed to investigate the
several school houses to ascertain the
conditions existing as to ventilation
The motion prevailed. Superintendent
Hendricks stated that something
should be done toward improving the
ventilation facilities of the several
houses.
Architect O'Brien reported that he
would have the plans and specifications
of the Aluminium street school house
ready in couple of days.

worse off than he. The next day he
was removed to a hospital ship and
was returned to the United States He
lay for many weeks in a hospital be-
tween life and death, few expecting
him TO recover, but his great constitu-
ton at last triumphed and he is now
as strong and vigorous as ever.
For the past few months Captain
Ducat has been in command of the
garrison at Fort Harrison, near Hell
ena. Under the new army bill he has
been made regimental quartermaster
of his regiment, and in that capacity
has been ordered to Manila as a staff
officer, eight companies of the regi-
ment having been ordered to the Phil
ippines. He is now on his way to San
Francisco and merely stopped off in
Butte between trains. He left at 4:4o
over the Short Line for the Preside.
While here Captain Ducat was enter
tanned by Captain Decay Stivers of
troop l., Sd United States volunteer
cavalry
Captain Ducat is very modest and
declines to be drawn into any discus
sion of the renown he won al Santiago,
but with a vast amount of pride in his
regiment, says the glory belongs to
the men, than whom. he says, there
We're never soldiers who fought with
greater dash of courage than the col
ored boys of the Gath and 25th. He
is a warm friend of Colonel Andy Burt
and expects to meet him at San Fran
cisco in command of his old regiment,
which he temporarily left to become a
brigadier general of volunteers during
the Cuban campaign. He is again in
command of the 25th. which also goes
to the Philippines.
Captain Ducat is one of those army
officers who do not expect to see the
war in the PhiliDDineS over at a rery
early day. When asked yesterday his
opinion concerning it, he said: TT
looks to me like another 10-year war,
for the insurgents are daily demon
strating that they will be hard to con-
quer.'

Habeas corpus proceedings We're insti-
tuted in Judge Clancy's court yesterday
by the county attorney at the instance
of c. Macpherson, manager of the AS
ISOLATED Charities home, to get a T.
year-old girl named Nellie McBee from
the possession of Garrett McBee, a
miner living on East Galena street. The
girl is no relative of McBee, though she
bears his name. McBee's wife, who died
several months ago, was her aunt, and
had charge of her since the death of
her own mother some years ago. Since
the death of Mrs. McBee the girl has
lived alone with McBee in his cabin
and has been doing his homework. Her
condition was called to the attention OF
the Associated Charities by some neigh
bors, who think the girl is not receiv-
ing proper bringing up. Judge Clancy
issued a writ and the matter will be
heard tomorrow morning.
Another suit growing out of the
troubles of the school of mines contrac-
tors was brought in the district court
yesterday by J. A. Riddell against the
Fidelity and Deposit company Of Mary
land. Riddell relates in his complaint
that While he and Z. Il. ROdCn had the
contract to build the school of mines
they entered into a contract with the
Peck Williamson Heating and Ventilat-
ing company by which the latter agreed
to put in the heating and ventilating
plant, sewerage and closet system for
$6,544,S so. The company gave Riddell &
Roach bond, with the Fidelity and
Deposit company as surety, in the sum
of $3.50 and subsequently refused to
fulfill and complete the job and notified
the plaintiff that it would not and
abandoned the contract Riddell who
in the meantime had succeeded to all
the interests of Roach in the contract,
was thereupon compelled to finish the
work himself, and says he has paid out
in labor and material the sum of
81, SO and 1855 as additional expenses
on account of delay in completing the
building, occasioned by the refusal of
the Williamson company to fulfill
its contract Riddell says that at the
time the company abandoned the con-
tract they claimed there was balance
due on work already done of $27050,
but he alleges that it was not on that
account that the company refused to
complete the work. He says that after
allowing all credits as offsets there is
due him for money paid out balance
of 81 ,43S besides the $685. he was dam
aged by reason of the delay, and he
asks judgment for 1878.
