which had ceased to be counted upon.
Finally, about 10 $50, the cavalry on the
right of Hawkins line carried the first
hill. The success of the cavalry did
not weaken the fire of the Spaniards at
the blockhouse, and as this position
was shut out from the view of the cav
airy by the lay of the ground and dense
shrubbery along the road separating the
cavalry field from that of the infantry
there were really two battles on within
a radius of 1000 yards. Shortly after
the cavalry took "Kettle" hill there
was a rush of this line for San Juan
ridge, north of the b~lockhouse. Haw-
kins' two regiments, the Sixth and Six
teenth gradually worked their way up
closer to the fort, the Sixth cavalry and
part of the Third not far away on the
right and the Thirteenth infantry of
Wikoff's brigade close up on the left.
Before the second charge forward
Colonel Egbert had been wounded and
carried from the field. After that Par
ker's Cuttings showered the blockhouse
and trenches with bullets, and the hour
for the infantry rush was at hand. The
Sixth moved at first to the right of the
fort, then changed direction to strike it
in the flank, while the Sixteenth as
sailed the direct front. In this last
dash Captain A. M. Wetherell of Com
pany A fell, shot through the head. He
was killed instantly. Captain Wetherell
was a veteran of the civil war, and so
far as known the only comrade of the
G. A. R. killed in the Spanish war.
While the battle loss of the Sixth at
San Juan was not remarkable when
compared with the heavy losses of other
fields, yet it was exceptional for Santi-
ago. Kent's division lost that day Tx
per cent of the number engaged. The
Sixth lost over 25 per cent. Out of 30
officers II were shot down, a loss of 8S
per cent. The strength in men that day
was 435, and of these 1903 were killed
and wounded. Casualties of 20 per cent
and upward in a single engagement are
high, for two encounters of that nature
would deplete a regiment by one-half
its fighting strength. While the losses Of
the Sixth at the bloody crossing were no.
ticeable because the first of the day, the
deadliest work was on the slopes of San
Juan hill. In battling with the block
house at least 7 of the II officers hit
that day went down. All the survivors
remember that as the hottest experience
of the battle, so there can be no ques-
tion that the Sixth scored its awful rec
ord in a fair fight with the Mausers at
the blockhouse.

captains and'a lieutenant each. "Yet
no n flinched," says Colonel Egbert,
''and all kept steadily firing without
any thought Of stopping until the Or
der should come" Seeing, as he says,
that the force of Spaniards intrenched
upon the hill was entirely too strong
for the Sixth, and that a prolonged con-
Test against the heavy odds would re-
suit in the destruction of the regiment,
he went along the line and quietly told
the company commanders to move by
the flank back to the road. This was
carried out in excellent order, the men
taking the dead and wounded with
them. Soon after the Sixth resumed it's
place along the road the Sixteenth
formed on it's left, and then there were
two regiments confronting the fort.
From this position fire was kept up I'M
til the time came to charge, which was
after 10 O'Clock.
Every one familiar with battlefield
movements will recognize the system
displayed by the directors of this at
tack. General Hawkins was at the front
all the time, and also General Kent,
the division commander. All orders to
the regiment and brigades came from
the front, not the rear, until the line
was formed at the river. Hawkins led
his own troops in the final charge.
Wikoff's brigade was without leadership
at first because three of it's commanders
went down within ten minutes. But
the orders of Kent had been given to the
leader and to the colonies, and in going
forward the line simply obeyed orders.
Wikoff's three regiments went up the
hill to the left Of Hawkins, and the
Second and Tenth regulars, under Colo
mel Pearson, moved across the river and
up the slope still to the left of Wikoff,
protecting that flank of storming col
umn. The Twenty-first infantry was
brought up by General Kent to support
Hawkins in place of the Seventy-frst,

The jacket has a plain smooth-ftting back
that may be made with or without a center
seam. Above the bust the fronts are rolled
in revers that may be plain or fancifully scol.
loped and below the bust they fare at
tractively and extend in rounding tabs
below the waist-line. The sleeves are fin.
ished at the wrist in bell effect and a high
fiaring collar is at the neck. The skirt is Of
novel shaping and consists Of a seven-gored
fare upper part heightened by a circular
founce that is deepest at the center Of the
front, where it extends to a point. The full
ness at the back is laid in an underfolded
box-plait. Braid fancifully applied conceals
the joining Of the flounce and upper part.
The shirt waist is simple yet stylish and is
distinguished by an applied ~back-yoke. The
fronts are full and pouch prettily over the
leather belt. A collar of white linen and a
tie of black satin are worn. The design, like
that of the jacket and skirt, was copied from
The Delineator of recent date. Pique, serge,
cheviot, etc., are suitable materials for devel-
oping the jacket and skirt, and Madras, dim
ty, percale and similar materials for the shirt
waist.

Fashion Notes.

A new style of skirt has the overlapping
rounding layers Of stitched cloth at the back
instead of in the front as heretofore. These
sections round up gracefully at each side of
the front-breadth and induce an unusually
fashionable appearance.
TUNES, over-skirts and ove~r.draperies
figure largely upon all the more dressy
Summer gowns, and the long-trained skirt
still retains its popularity.
