 Halfway up Holton saw a man with the shoulder-straps of a colonel. a 1 Incorporating fellow, with side whis- kcrs. He had turned to speak to Shaf- ter's aide, Lieutenant Miley, who had just come up with the men of the Third cavalry.

 How" Colonel Hamilton said no more, for a bullet entered his open mouth and bade him hold his peace for evermore. And now the men began pouring up Q the top of the hill, lying behind the
 rest and discharging bullets at the ;paniards who were fleeing down the ,ther side, making helter-skelter for

 To Holton, as he lay huddled in rench with. a Rough Rider on one side )f him and dead Spaniard on the ,ther, it seemed as though the immo- lation of the entire army must follow an attempt upon the entrenchments before the objective point of the cam | paign was attained and yet such an attack was what he had counted upon, ri s it would have enabled him, had he escaped the leaden storm, to make his way into Santiago.
 Cervera had threatened, in event of he success of the American land cam paign, to turn his guns upon the city. and as long as his vessels were in heir present position, they constituted d menace to the army that certainly presented prospects of the latter's ulti- mate success in rather doubtful | ight And until the forts guarding he harbor were invested from the land side. a naval attack would prove % hazardous fo undertake.

 Indeed Holton could see that it must be determined whether San Juan itself was to be held. All the men were now in the pits on the hill, discharging their weapons from cover. and keep ing as close to mother earth as they could nestle
 The situation, as it appeared to the navy man, was curious one. The men had taken the hill. but what were they going to do with it? They could not go back and they could not go for ward. Their position was surely an anomalous one.
 A fine lot of siege artillery, as Hol- ton saw it, would solve the situation, and indeed. as he thought this, d bat tery, red guidons flying and men cheering, came rolling and swaying up the hill.
 Quickly unlimbering, the men aimed hastily, and sent volley of projectiles flying into Santis go. But the huge yellow clouds had no sooner arisen and the reports had not died away, than it seemed as if the fire of the en- tire Spanish force was concentrated on that row of guns on the hilltop. Shells screamed, bullets whined. artil- lerymen fell oEe after the other.
 Thus many minutes did not elapse before t..c sWanefs went rattling away down the hill n..~ah faster than they
