EDWARD MARSHALL ues; 1--WE had
barely begun to deploy when crash in

1t was evidently very hot, and Troop l.

manded the battalion which included
Capron's, Llewellyn's, Jenkins and
O'Neil's troops, and be set to work to
get the last three TO the support Of the
first, With Llewellyn's troop and
Kane's platoon Of Jenkins troop he got
into line and in view Of the Spanish
position. The rough riders fired at
places where the Spaniards might be,
but saw none until Richard Harding
Davis pointed them ont by their hats.
The rough riders carbines soon stirred
the Spaniards up and it was an ad-
vance and halt, much as Colonel Wood
describes, until the end Of the tight
Roosevelt says that he lost touch with
O'Neill's and Jenkins troops, which
were away on his right across a valley.

the Spanards back. Meanwhile the
Spaniards on the north were able to en-
filade the rough riders as we'll az meet
the attack Of the regulars on the direct
front Wood directed the fire of two
troops against this new enemy, and
with the help of the regulars, who came
up in the nick Of time, the Spaniards
were again dislodged.
According to Colonel Roosevelt the
loss at Las Guasimas was distributed as
follows: The rough riders had 8 killed
and "a wounded, the First regulars
killed and wounded and the
Tenth killed and 10 wounded total,
&C. The strength of the two squadrons
of rough riders and the two squadrons
Of regulars engaged was about equal
and aggregated 964 men.
Colonel Woods report is lacking in
the details of what was done by each
battalion and the separate troops As
TO troops were deployed and sent in
separately, statement Of the work Of
each would clear up the story Of the
rough riders in their first fight. In the
course of Colonel Roosevelts 10, 600
word narrative, now and then SEN
tence bears clearly upon the way in
which the rough riders took their bap-
tsm of fire. But in the main, il is a
tumble of facts He goes into details
about the advance OF Capron's troop,
but still leaves the crisis in fog, He
says that Sergeant Fish with three 9th
ers had the advance, followed by go
men in support; that Capron with the
rest of the troop followed. and Colonel
Wood came after Capron. There were
"a men in Capron' s troop; hence, only
40 in the reserve.
Roosevelt then goes on to tell how
the whole command climbed the noun
tain in single trail, 30 that there was
practically no skirmish line. 1t was an
advance in strung out column with no
fiankers. Roosevelt says that the ground
was such that f'ankers could not have
advanced as rapidly as the column
hence the command marched on in sin
gle file until it struck the enemy. Wood
says that when the advance saw signs
of the enemy the command was deploy-
ed and ordered forward carefully and
that firing commenced Immediately.
This firing is described by Marshall and
Lieutenant Thomas.
Roosevelt says that while the line
was strung out Wood sent word back
along the trail to him that the advance
had come upon a Spanish outpost, and

Two facts hardest for the average man

The actual fighting record Of the
rough riders was not long, two fights Of
few hours each, and if some capable
veteran would get down to it the truth
might quickly be told Colonel Wood
commanded the regiment at Las Quasi
mas, and his report. though unusually
long for a skirmish, is contained in

Roosevelt's reports on San Juan, where
he commanded. make about 1000
words. In HE magazine history of the
rough riders he devotes over 10000
words to the work of his regiment in
each of these fights. From the accounts
thus far published it Is evident that the
rough riders did nothing extraordinary,
nothing that could not have been ex-
pected Of them. In the whole mass Of
literatrye on the subject the story of
Edward Marshall. the correspondent

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though it's offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only question Of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Cstarrh, and never
will.

will be a renewed demand, which will
cause better prices than have prevailed
for some time.
PURE WATER.
San Diego Union: The question of
pure water is one that Eastern papers
never hesitate to handle in the most
outspoken manner, whenever occasion
requires. The press of Philadelphia has
made the country familiar with that
city's difficulty in obtaining water that
is fit to drink. In some portions or
Wisconsin, too, the bad quality Oh the
water has occasioned both indignant
protest and general demand for reme-
dial legislation. TheeWisconsin State
Board of Health has prepared bill for
presentation to the Legislature giving
the board authority to supervise and to
order changed, if necessary, the plans
of water systems owned by private cor
porations. In a case at Ashland Wis,
where it is alleged deaths were caused
by poisoned water delivered by water
works system, the Supreme Court de-
The record-union., 1899-01-18

cided that water companies which fur
nish impure water cannot be compelled
to pay damages therefor The Wiscou-
sin Board of Health would therefore
safeguard the people by compelling pri-
vate water corporations to provide pure
water,
AN EXAMPLE.
San Jose Mercury: The detailing Of
experts by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to investigate the fauna and insect
life Of the Philippines and also of Cuba
illustrates the striking contrast be-
tween Spanish and American methods.
During her three or four hundred years
of ownership of these islands Spain has
made no attempt to learn the variety
Of their resources or to increase the
scientific knowledge of the world by
studying the vegetable and animal life
in the islands. Within few months
this country will know more about
Cuba and the Philippines than Spain
learned in three centuries.
