nounced in the regiment, and immedi-
ately there were "A volunteers who were
ready to take their places Again and
again calls were made, and they went
away to their posts as fearlessly and as
nobly as ever tried heroes went to bat
tie. When the regiment was called out
for announcement of detail, Major
Markley. the commander, would say
that if any were unable on account of
illness to perform their duty they might
be excused, and not a man would take
advantage of the offer. Many times the
ranks were 80 reduced that sergeants
had to do the cooking, corporals did the
duty Of privates. and at one time Major
Markley himself did the duty Of cor
poral, going out with spade to show
the squad how the work was to be done.
The period OF service Of this regiment
at Santiago. including ten days in the
battlefield and trenches, was 40 days

white regiment would have made such
record, but II is doubtful whether

soldiers engaged. every skirmish has its
phase of heroism.
Rudyard Kipling puts it rightly in
his recent poem. Take Up the White

At the end of the long wars Of Napo-
leon the great marshals who had fol-
lowed him across the hot sands OF
Egypt. in the bleak Alps, over the
mountain barriers of Spain, amid the
frozen terrors of Russia and through
the rivers of blood on Prussian battle
fields prevailed upon the ambitious en-
peror to make peace with the nations
and allow them the quiet which their
long services and growing years had
earned. And they were Of a fighting
race. Yet today at Manila are seen sol
diers taking up the new warfare Of civ
ilization who fought with Grant and
Sherman and Sheridan more than 30
years ago and have ever since stood at
arms for the ceaseless drum call of
duty along the border and the disquiet-
ed region beyond the Rockies. If not by
their battles in the sixties, then surely
by their long and patient service ss
guardians of the border peace. have the
veterans of the army earned the right
to rest from wars
The first fight in the Philippines took
place with the Spanish garrison Of Ma
Mia on July 81. General Merritt. com
manding the American forces, had used
the time since his arrival on July 25 to
get troops into position to assault the
city. General Francis V. Greene's bri-
gade had been first to land and was
stationed on the shore of the bay about
five miles from Cavite toward Manila.
Greene Is not civil war veteran, but
received the best army training and
had smelled powder in the Asiatic cam
paigns of Russia. He was colonel of the
Seventy-first New York when he re.
ceived the appointment which took
him far away from San Juan hill,
where his regiment made history Of the
unenviable kind The first work OF
Greene was to erect batteries on the
beach of Manila bay, and in order to
get the right of way over the insur-
gents tact was necessary. General Mer.
rift would have no dealings with the
man Aguinaldo, but Greene induced q
subordinate chief TO get out of the way
and let the Americans take a peep at
the Spaniards. Of course the Spaniards
didn't like being looked at out of the
muzzles of inch guns and tried to
drive Greene away. They did not sue
ceed. although they tried, it almost ev-
cry night until forced to quit for good
and all the 18th of August.
The first supports to come to Greene's
troops in the trenches were led by one
who made history for himself as boy
colonel during the civil war, General
Arthur Macarthur. Macarthur landed
his soldiers direct at the beach during
a protracted storm with heavy surf by
running the lighters head on to shore

the Hill in line with the Thirteenth in

any Of the troops of the division.
While the officers and men Of the
Twenty-fourth may be justly proud Of
their work at San Juan hill they may
take still more glory to themselves for
their record fighting yellow jack. After
the capture Of the hill this regiment
served at different points In the trenches
under broiling sun by day and in the
mud by night On the 10th Of July the
command was ordered to proceed TO
Siboney at once. Yellow fever had been
raging there for several days, and help
was needed in keeping the camp in or
der and doing work for the sick, as
cooks. nurses. guards, etc The men
marched back through the night, and

kALAkAUA ANECDOTE.

When Kalakaua was Postmaster OF
Honolulu, he rarely attended to the
details of the office, as he had a faith
fui and accurate clerk in Mr.. w. G..
Irwin. At that time the postage on an
ounce of letter matter was II cents.
While Mr.. Irwin was absent from the
office one day, Kalakaua attended to the
business. 4 woman presented a pack
age weighing II ounces. What is the
postage?" she asked. Kalakaua re-
called the fact that II cents was usual
ly paid on a letter, and replied at once
1T cents" The stamp was bought
and placed on the package. Mr. Irwin
on returning noticed, and informed his
superior at once that the postage on
the package should be So instead Of II
cents. Kalakaua replied that if the
woman ever called at the Office again,
he would collect the balance due. She
never called.
