Lawton would have to fight for the pos
session of Ell Caney.
Lawton's division comprised the
brigades of General A. r. Chaffee,
Colonel f. Fl. Miles and General J. H.
Ludlow. Ludlow and Chaffee, like
Lawton, were veterans of the civil war.
Each brigade consisted of three regi
ments Of regulars, excepting the Second
Massachusetts of Ludlow's brigade.
Ludlow was new TO the brigade, having
taken command OH the Goth. The work
cut out for Ludlow at Ell Caney was to
hold his line as close as possible to Ell
Caney in support of the main infantry
attack, which Chaffee was to make on
the northeast, and be ready to cut off
the retreat of the Spaniards toward San
tiago, as well as to prevent reinforce
ment by troops coming out of Santiago.
The Twenty second infantry had the
right Of Ludlow's brigade nearest the
fort, and at first there was wide in

the colonel of the regiment, was that
day in command of brigade in Kent's
division. When the regiment advanced
in battle formation along the road to Ell
Caney, it was fired ON from the under
brush, some distance in front of the
fort and the town of FL Caney. The
men followed up until they reached
good range position. The ground was
open, in some places covered with corn
and cultivated shrubbery, all inclosed
with wire fences and hedges Of cacti.
No Spanish breastworks could be seen.

cred all the region around FL Caney
before submitting the plan which Law
ton adopted without change. OF course
it was supposed that the artillery fire
would speedily render the fort, the
blockhouses, the church and other
buildings practically useless for defense,
and that short fight between the in,
fantry would end the battle. But there
were only four guns at hand, and while
these were of the very best and were
splendidly served, under the personal
direction Of Lieutenants W. II. kenly
and Allston Hamilton. they were not
able at the range which their smoking
powder compelled them to take to smash
things for Chaffee in the required time
Every discharge of the guns was fol-
lowed by showers Of Mauser bullets,

side back of them and it's belfry, were
loopholed, and ON the outskirts Of the
village there were several ordinary
blockhouses filled in with earth and one
made of stone. The key to the position,
as before stated, was the strong stone
fort, southeast of the village, crowning
hill about 100 feet high. The Ell
Caney garrison has been variously esti.
mated from 500 to 1000 infantry, no
artillery nor machine guns. An esti-
mate, which seems to be generally ac-
cepted, places the strength at 460 men
1t has also been stated that 460 men
were killed, wounded and taken prison

with his brother and two sons, were
among the killed.
General Chaffee's plan was to throw
the left regiment of his brigade against
the stone fort, swinging his right in
line with it around so as to sweep the
interval between the fort and the viii
lage and thus hold the Spanish between
his line and that Of Ludlow's. During
the night of the Both he placed COM

Chaffee then said: "All right Fortune

on killing until the last don was dead
or had grounded arms. The general says
ne saw 90 or 80 Spaniards shot in tho
village while trying to get away.
Colonel Daggett said that from the
general appearance Of the FL Caney for
tifications and their capacity he judged
that the garrison numbered 1000. Tho
Spanish estimate was 1900. The colo
mel said that the lesson Of El Caney ID
that in modern warfare places may be

The Use of Fertilizers.

You cannot, by the use of CONNER

applied, the result will be the impov-
erishment of the soil. If you add ten
dollars to your bank account and check
out $50. you know the result. In like
manner, when you use small guam

fertility from the soil largely in excess
Of the materials added by the fertilizer.
Judiciously used, they are great boon
