/ber. 80, 1898.
To the Adutant General u. s. Aarmy,
Washington. ID. C.-Sir: | had the
honor to make the following statement
relative to the conduct of Colonel The
odore Roosevelt, late First U. s. Vol
! unteer Cavalry during the assault up
on San Jaun Hill. July 1st, 1898.
/ have already recommend this OH
Ger for q medal of honor, which, | I'M
derstand has ben denied him, upon the
ground that my previous letter was too
indefinite. | based my recommends
tions upon the fact that Colonel Roose-
welt, accompanied only by four or Ave
men, led a very desperate and extreme
1y gallant charge on San Juan Hin,
thereby setting a splendid example to
the troops and encouraging them to
pass over the open country intervening
between thor position and the trenches
Of the enemy. In leading this charge,
ha started off first, as he supposed,
with quite a folll ing Of men, but
son discovered that he was alone. He
then returned and gathered up q few
men and led them to the charge as
above stated. The charge itself was
an extremely gallant one and the ex-
ample set a most inspiring one to the
troops in that part of the line, and
while II Is perfectly true, that every
body finally went up the hill in good
style, yet there Is no doubt that the
magnificent example set by Colonel
Roosevelt had n very encouraging Of
feet and had great weight in bringing
up the troops behind him. During the
assault, Colonel Roosevelt was the
first to reach the trenches In his part
OF the line and killed one OF the enc.
with his own hand.
! earnestly recommend hat the
medal be conferred upon Colonel
Roosevelt, for | believe that he In ev-
cry way deserves It, and that his SER
Vices Oh the day In question were OF
great value and of a most distinguish
ed character. Very respectfully,

Major General u. s. ", Commanding

A Handsome Gown.

A well-known leader of society is having
a very beautiful dress made to be worn at
q forthcoming reception. The petticoat, of
deep apricot satin. is yelled to the knees in
a full, flowing f1ounce of lemon crepe de
chine, over which falls gossamer drapery
of white blond lace jeweled in amethyst
orchids, emerald foliage, with a running de-
sign in topaz and diamante, the effect Of
this glittering garniture being brilliant in
the extreme. The long court train, hung
Grecian fashion from one shoulder, is en-
tirely in white crepe de chine over lemon
satin, with a border of jeweled flowers to
correspond, finished on one side with a long
trail of shaded nasturtiums. The sleeve
less bodice is nothing less than a sheath
like cuirass of similar stones, which will be
further enhanced by magnificent diamonds
and a peerless tiara.

pilgrim, for the present. leaves the White

for Canyon City, at the head of Miles
Canyon, where there Is another change to
rail- around White Horse rapids, a hun
dred miles from Bennett.
The winds blow at Bennett without ceas-
ing. In winter they wall up through the
narrow neck of the lake, cry across the
the iron freight houses. In summer they
complain constantly, signing over the sands
along the lake front and powdering the
faces of passing pedestrians with pulverixed
stone-the natural paving in the one street
of the town.
The only cheerful spot here is the pic

shore, overlooking the beautiful lake Oh!
the scenery is all right. From the wide YER

can look out over the clear water, sleeping
peacefully between the grand old hills that
rise abruptly on either hand. Far away
the lake narrows to river and is lost to
view among the distant dim mountains
Now the wind seems to have Sobbed itself
to sleep. The sun is sinking behind the
hill as we go down the steep bluff, board
the steamer Australian and sail away. Our

river turns sharply to the left. The current
is becoming swifter. Suddenly the boat

the latter presumably to satisfy the passen-

of the lakes while the Yankees come from
the ever-changing Missouri, the treacher-
Gus Mississippi or the swift Columbia
Naturally there is a good deal of friction.
Both the Yankee pilots must have a cap

captains on each. and each feels that he is
the captain, but he is not.
