WAVING HIS HAT FOR THEM TO COME on"
There were two battle events of the
day in which the Tenth was conspicu-
GUS The Filipinos fed from the hospi-
tai. and the Pennsylvanians leaped the
walls Of the hospital position only to
see their enemy rallying on the crest Of
hill half mile away. crowned by a
strong church building. After resting
for an hour the line went forward on a
charge for the possession of this hill,
called the San Juan hill of the Philip
pines. Spectators declared this charge
the most picturesque scene of the war
around Manila. The navies looked on,
as did the foreign consuls and attaches.
The Tenth had the center of the line
In this grand charge.
Colonel Hawkins was just TO the
right Of the center with company
commanded by his own son. There was
little cover to be had from the fire of
the Filipino sharpshooters. Wire fences
were encountered and torn down and

Captain Evans knew that the Iowa
would be of no advantage in the chase
after the swift Colon and turned his
attention to the suffering Spaniards on
the beach. Numbers Of them were
struggling in the water. having jumped

Vizcaya had stranded about 400 yards

cheered to the echo by the seminaked,

Just as the boats were being lowered

the flagship New York, with Sampson

ment oi service over the line. This
would seem To DO the easiest way for
Condor TO secure telephone communica-
tion with the outside world and we
hope TO see our people take hold OF the
proposition and make II 90.
Since The above was put Ia type let.
ter has been received from the Blue
Mountain Telephone Co, which states
that this territory IL looked upon by
them as belonging TO the Inland Tel

Since the government Is showing little

nor Washington has taken the matter
up rs state enterprise, 1t rests with
private individuals TO accomplish this
end II Il is done at all. That the work
will DO done as private enterprise
seems likely, company having been
organized for that purpose, and sniff
cient capital has been secured TO carry
the plan into execution. DR.. Blalock,
Of Walla Waila, one oi the movers In
the matter, has given out the following
statement concerning what Is proposed
TO i've done.
