SAN JUAN MEMORIAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The story
of the governments efforts to pay fit
ting tribute to it's warrior dead ac-
companies a recommendation the Sec
rotary of war has sent to Congress
for an appropriation of a few thousand
dollars to permit completion of the
Surrender Tree memorial and the con-
struction of a driveway from that
memorial up to and around San Juan
Military Park at Santiago de Cuba.
Suitable memorials have been placed
in China and elsewhere where Ameri-
can soldiers fell. Monuments at Ell
Caney, Las Guasimas, Kettle Hill and
Daiquiri, in Cuba, lave been dedicated.
Monuments at Juragua and San Juan
Hill and the Folio tablets at Surrender
Tree hav not been dedicated.
Heretofore the United States govern
ment has in every way facilitated the
erection of these memorial monuments
and tablets on the Santiago battlefield.
Memorials in the shape of double bronze
folio tablets, containing the names of
nearly 1850 officers and men killed in
action or dead of wounds and disease
incurred in camp are at Santiago.
About half a mile from the Surrender
Tree memorial is the San Juan battle
monument, and Secretary Dickinson has
urged the necessity of funds so as to
connect the two with a driveway and
provide accessibility for the host of
visitors.
