whether Gen. Sumner or Gen. Kent
directly and personally ordered this
charge or not, | cannot say; but from
statements made to me by officers and
men who participated in il, | am inclined
to believe that it really was-as it has
since been called-a great popular move
ment,' the credit for which belongs chiefly
to the regimental and company officers
and their men. That Gen. Shafter had
nothing TO do with it is evident. He
might have ordered it if he had been
there; but he was not there. One OF the
wounded men in the field hospital told
me a story OF a Sergeant in one OF the
colored regiments. who was lying. with
his comrades, in the woods, under the hot
fire from the San Juan nights. Getting
no order to advance, and firing OF the in.
action, he finally sprang to his feet and
rushed out into the open, shouting to the
men of his company. Come on, boys!
Let's knock hi out OF the blankety-
blanEsl' whereupon the whole regiment
rose like single man, and started, at a
dead run, for the hill. The story is doubt,
less apocrypha!, but it will serve as an
illustration of the way in which the
have originated. Our men in the edge OF
the woods, in the bushes, and IN the
grain fields had perhaps become SO tired
OF inactiOn, and so exaspeTated by tne
deadly fire which was picking them of,
one by one, as they lay, that they were
ready for any desperate venture; ana
when some body-no matter who-started
forward, or said, Come on, boys" they
simply rose en- masSe and charged. l
cannot find, in the official reports OF the
engagement, any record OF definite oIder
by any general officer to storm the nights;
but the men were just in the mood ior
such movement, and either with orders
or without orders they charged up ,he mn
in the face of a tremendous fire from pat
teries, trenches, and blOckh0uscs, ana,
in the words of an English officer, quoted
by Gen. Breckinridge in his testimony
before the Investigating Commission. ,hey
