Progress of the Commissioners’ In- auiry Touching Special Benefits. The Rock Creek Park commission, Gen. John M. Wilson, Engineer Commissioner Beach, Gen. H. V. Boynton and Mr. R. Ross Perry being present, continued Satur- day afternoon the hearing in th> matter of the assessment of speciai benefits against land adjacent to the park. Judge A. C. Bradley, Mr. John Joy Edson and Real Es tate Dealers B. Davis and Galen B. Green, w2re examined as witnesses on be- half of the land owners, and the“commis- sion adjourned until 3 o'clock Tuesday af- ternoon, Juiy Judge Bradley stated that no improve- ments of any extent have been made in the park, H2 also was of the opinion that no Sale of property has been -made in tae vi- cinity during the last six years, partly due to the decline of business, but mostly to the uncertainty of what was going to be done with the park. Judge Bradiey thought that his property had depreciated, and stated that, if an advantage on account of the outlook upon the park was claimed, such was due to the natural topography of the land, and the location of the park does not make it. To Mr. Perry Judge Bradley said he did not think the prospect of improvemz2nts of a sufficfent value to enhance the commercial value of the surrounding lands. Congress had made no appropriation in six years, and it would be a hardship to make any one pay for something the attainment of which would depend on the caprice of Con- gress. Mr. Perry suggested, upon the conclusion ot Judge Bradley's statement, that, in order to estab!ish the proportion of increase in value of the surrounding property, which he felt sure existed, {t would be necessary for tnem to introduce some testi- mony by expert witnesses, upon which this increase or decrease could be reduced to dollars and cents, so that the commission would have a basis from which to start. Mr. B. P. Davis testified that in respect to the several tracts adjacent to the park the proportion of increase and Jecreage was about balanced. He claimed: that the park attracts undesirable occupants both: day and night. : Mr. John Joy Edson said there had been ro benefits to the surrounding lands in a general way, and he knew of no sales in the last six years, but that in other sub- Givisional suburban property there’ had been many improvements. _ z Mr. Galen E. Green testified. in. similar manner, and was requested by Mr. Perry to attend the next meeting of the board, in order that he might ask him a question, ene daty of which he had not then with A Mr. May, onc of the land owners, sug- gested that the commission view the lana, offering to drive the members out in his carriage. Gen. Wilson explained that the commission has teams of its own, and de- clined Mr. May’s invitation, although he his suggestion, Mr. Perry May had reflected upon his course in examining Witnesses, but Judge Bradley explained that Mr.-May had not so intended. —->—-.- Motion Overruled.

THE SPANIARDS Gallant Deed of Surgeon Church on the Battlefield. DETAILS OF THE FIGHT The following detailed account of the fight near Santiago last Friday, in which Roosevelt's Rough riders suffered severely, was sent out from Kingston, Jamaica, last night by the Associated Press. It is dated Juragua, Cuba, June 25, and says: The in- itial fight of Col. Wood’s Rough Riders and the troopers of the Ist and 10th Regular Cavalry will be known in history as the battle of La Quasina. That it did not end in the complete slaughter of the Americans was not due to any miscalculation in the plan of the Spaniards, for as perfect an ambuscade as was ever formed in the brain of an Apache Indian was prepared, and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt and his men walked squarely into it. For an hour and a half they held their ground under a perfect storm of bullets from the front and sides, and then Col. Wood at the right and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt at the left led a charge which turned the tide of battle and sent the enemy flying over the hills toward San- tiago. It is now definitely known that sixteen men on the American side were killed, while sixty were wounded or are reported to be missing. It is impossible to calculate the Spanish losses, but it is known that they were far heavier than those of the Amer- icans, at least as regards actual loss of} Mfe. Already thirty-seven dead Spanisa soldiers have been found and buried, while niany others are undoubtedly lying in the thick underbrush on the sides of the guliy and on the slope of the hill, where the main body of the enemy was located. The wounded were all removed. Chose a Strong Position. That the Spaniards were thoroughly post- ed as to the route to be taken by the Amer- icans in their movement toward Sevilla was evident, as shown by the careful prep- arations they had made. The main body of the Spaniards was posted on a hill, on the heavily wooded slopes of which had keen erected two blockhouses, flanked by irregular intrenchments of stone and fall- en trees. At the bottom of these hills run two roads, along which Lieut. Col. Roose- velt’s men and eight troops of the ist and loth Cavalry, with a battery of four how- itzers, advanced. These roads are but lit- tle more than gullies, rough and narrow, and at places almost impassable. In these trails the fight occurred. Nearly half a mile separated Roosevelt's men from the regulars, and between them and on both sides of the road, in the thick underbrush, was concealed a force of Spaniards that must have been large, judging from the terrific and constant fire they poured {n on the American: The fight was opened by the Ist and 10th Cavalry, under Gen. Young. A force of Spaniards was known to be in the vicinity of La Quasina, and early in the morning Lieut. Col. Rovsevelt’s men started off up the precipitous bluff back of Siboney to at- tack the Spaniards on their right flank, Gen. Young at the same time taking the road at the foot of the hill. Warned by Cuban Scouts. About two and a half miles out from Si- boney some Cubans, breathiess and ex- cited, rushed into camp with the announce- ment that the Spaniards were but a itule way in front, and were strongly intrenched. Quickly the Hotchkiss guns out in front were brought to the rear, while a strong scouting line was thrown out. ‘Then, cautiously and in silence, the troops moved forward, until a bend in the read disclosed a hill, where tne Spaniards were located. The guns were again brought to the front and placed In position, while the men crouched down in the vaiting im- . Who were along the crest patiently to give Reo evelt toiling « : the little trail time to get up. ) a.m. Gen. Young gave the com- mand to the men at the Hotchkiss guns to open fire. The command s the signal tor a fight that for stubbornness has se!dom been equaled. The instant the Hotchkiss guns were fired from the hillsides com- manding the road came volley after volley from the Mausers of the Spaniards. “Don't shoot until you see something to shoot at,” yelled General Young, and the men, with set jaws and gleaming eyes, obeyed the order. Crawling along the edge of the road, and protecting themselves as much as possible from the fearful fire of the Spaniards, the troopers, some of them stripped to the waist, watched the base of the hill, and when any part of a Spaniard became visible they fired. Never for an instant did they falter. A Gallant Colored Soldier. One husky warrior of the 10th Cavalry, with a ragged wound in his thigh, coolly knelt behind a rock, loading and firing, and when told by one of his comrades that he was wounded, laughed and said: “Oh, that’s all right. That's been there for some time.” in the meantime away off to the left could be heard the crack of the rifies of Col. Wood's men, and the regular, deeper- toned volley firing of the Span Over there the American 1o: greatest. Col. Wood's men, with an ad- vance guard well out in front, and two Cuban guides before them, but apparently with no flankers, went squarely into the trap set for them by the Spaniards, and only the unfaltering courage of the men in the face of a fire that would even make a veteran quail prevented what might easily have been a disaster. As it was, Troop L, the advance guard under the unfortunate Capt. Capron,. was almost surrounded, and but for the reinforcement hurriedly sent forward every man would probably have been killed or wounded. “There must have been nearly 1,500 Span- iards in front and to the sides of us,” said Lieut. Col. Roosevelt today when discuss- ing the fight. “They held the ridge with rifie pits and machine guns, and had a body of men in ambush in the thick jungle at the sides of the road over which we were advancing. Our advance guard struck the men in ambush and drove them out. But they lost Capt. Capron, Lieut. Thomas and about fifteen men killed or wounded. “The Spanish firing was accurate; so ac- curate, indeed, that it surprised me, and their firing was fearfully heavy. Every Man Did His Duty. “I want to say a word for our own men,” continued Lieut. Col. Roosevelt. “Every officer and man did his duty up to the han- dle. Not a man flinched.” _ From another officer who teok a prom- ineat part in the fighting more details were obtained. “When the firing began,” said he, “Lieut. Col. Rooseveit took the right wing with Troops G and K, under Capts. Ltewelyn and Jenkins, and moved to the support of Capt. Capron, who was getting it hard. At the same time Col. Wood and Major Brodie took the left wing, and ad- vanced in open order onthe Spanish right wing: Major Brodie was wounded before the troops had advanced 100 yards. Col. Wood then took the right wing and shifted Col. Roosevelt to the left.” “In the meantime the fire of the Span- jards had increased in volume, but, not- withstanding this, an order for a general charge was given, and with a yell-the men sprang forward. Col. Roosevelt, in front of his’ meny snatched a rifle and ammunition belt from a wounded soldier, and, cheering and yelling with his men, led the advance. For a moment the bullets were singing like a swarm of bees all around them, and every instant some poor fellow went down. On the right wing Capt. McClintock had‘ his leg broken by a bullet from a machine gun, while four of his men went down. At the same time Capt. Luna of Troop F lost nine of his men. Then the reserves, K: and E, were ordered up. There was mo more hesitation. Col. Wood, with the a wing, charged straight at a block ol, Roosevelt, on-the left, were the we had the pleasure which the Spaniards had been experiencing all. throvgh the en- Love Syren ea shooting with the enemy in sight.” Gallant Surgeon Charch. In the two hours’ fighting during which the volunteers battled against their con- cealed enemy encugh deeds of heroism were done to fill a volume. One of the men of Troop E, desperately wounded, was lying squarely between the line of fire. Surgeon Church hurried to his side, and, with bullets pelting all around him, calmly Gressed the man’s wound, bandaged it and walked unconcernedly back, soon return- ing with two men and a litter. The wound- ed man was placed on the litter and brought into our line. Another soldier of Troop L, concealing himself as best he could behind a tree, gave up his place to a@ wounded companion, and a moment or two later was himself wounded. Sergt. Bell stood by th de of Capt. Capron when the latter w mortally hit. He had seen that he was fighting against terrible odds, but he never flinched. “Give Surgeon J. R. Church. me your gun a minute,” he said to the sergeant, and, kneeling down, he deliber- ately aimed and fired two shots in quick sui sion. At each a Spaniard was seen Beli in the meantime had seized pad comrade’s gun and knelt beside his in and fired steadily. Capt. Capron sergeant a parting me s father, and bade the sergeant good-by in a erful voice, and was then borne away Z. Sergt. Hamilton Fish, jr., was the first man killed by the Spanish re.

With the exception of C Capron all the rough riders killed in yesterday’s fight were buried this morning on the field of action. T! bodies were laid in one lorg trench, each wrapped in a blanket.

No one in Washington who knows Sur- geon James Robb Church is at all sur- prised at the recetpt of news of most cred- itable bravery on his part during the first battle of the rough riders on Cuban soil. It was just what one would expect from a man of his character and temperament. “Bob” Church, as his friends all know him, is a Washington boy, a son of Mr. Alonzo W. Church, librarian of the Sen- ate. He graduated from Princeton Uni- versity inthe class of '88 and was one of the most popular men in his He is a tall man, over six feet in height, and of powerful build. He was a good deal of an athlete at college, and since his gradua- tion has kept up an active interest in out- door sports. He was well known to foot ball men in Washington and has refereed a number of the more important games played here in the last half dozen years. After his graduation from Princeton Church took a course in medicine, and was later for a time resident surgeon at ergency Hospital. He spent con- » time in the far west, roughing it in the mountains, and was for a short Ume connected with a cavairy troop as sur- geon. He also visited Europe as surgeon on a transatlantic steamer. Upon the declaration of war with Spain Dr. Church secured the position of con- tract surgeon in the regular army, strong in the hope that he might be sent to the front, where he would see fighting—and take part in it, too. His disappointment was very keen when he was assigned to duty at Fort Myer. His friends realized then that he would soon manage to get into the thick of it some way. Upon the organization of Colonel Wood's regiment he offered his services and was appointed one of the assistant surgeons. He is typical of the class of young college men who have already given such a good account of them- selves. It would not be at all surprising if he should be heard from again.
