AMONG THE DEAD AND DYING ON FIELD Caring for the Wounded During a Galling Fusilade. TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY Capt. H. C. Fisher, assistant surgeon of the 2ist United States Infantry, wrote a letter to his wife from the camp near San- tiego de Cuba, under date of July 4, of which the following is an extract: “You havé seen in the papers full ac- cecnts of the battle of the Ist. We had advanced to a second camp from Siboney, and at early daylight the Ist instant start- ed to advance again. There was cannonad- ing on the right about 7 o'clock, and the battle had begun. On we went through muddy roads, and fording streams. some- times knee-deep. As we began to get under fire cur regimental officers dismounted, and we left our hor: with blankets, rain ecats, haversacks, and everything, behind with Rankin. The men piaced their blank- et rolls and shelter tents at the roadside and a man was left to guard. They carried only the things they wore, ammunition and cant same. Lkept ers the en and all the first- m and were un- the regiment 1 bank by the zipping about. ‘Get down, doctor,’ down and listened to ome one called out that from West Point, was i, and Ke2ping low till I got to him, e wound in his forearm, through a bullet had passed, both of us lying Then came a staff officer, saying that Gen. Kent ordered the 2ist to gain a hill of importance, and they started ahead at double time. About that time I was called to dress some officer of the 16th, lying in the roadway wounded, and when I could go on, the 2ist was away ahead. I started along a different fork of the road and reached another stream with high tanks, where I jumped into water up to my knees. “On the other side some one sald, ‘Oh, here’s a doctor! Lieut. Michey, an aid to Gen. Kent, is badly hurt, won't you look after him,” and they took me to him, lying on the muddy track. First Fatal Case. “Poor fellow! It was my first fatal case, and it made a very deep impression on me. A bullet had passed through his abdomen and he was pale, weak and bathed in cold sweat. As I bent over him, he grasped my hand and told me he was done for. I did all I could for him and then asked for the 21st, but ali over the track were the wound- ed of the 18th, 6th, 17th and 16th, begging my aid, and 1 could not leave them. 1 hur- ried through the most urgent cases und chased away to hunt up that 2ist. I ran across a ccior sergeant, who said Col. Eg- bert was wounded and was then by the roadside The patient old gentleman said it was not much and not to bother about him, but it was a weak tone and he ap- peared very low. He had been shot also through the abdomen on the right side, and I fixed him up, and sent Beckwith, who was with me, for a litter. “The little bandsman and Haring, my or- derly, with pouch of dressings, stuck to me most bravely and well that day, and I shall always have a good word for Beck- with. My other men were where they could find cases and did some fine work, being the farthest advanced on the battlefield. They teil me they were the only ones with the advance, with the exception of one acting steward. “Weil, after leaving the colonel, there was a soldier in misery by the same roadway with a gunshot fracture of the thigh, and I had to fix him. Again we could get off, end Haring and I started across the broad field over which the charge had been made, and up the hill toward the block house and rifle pits from which the Spaniards had fied. Haring says the bullets were drop- ping or passing over, and I remember as we were going up the hill hearing them, but our men had then chased away the enemy. ‘Along the way up more demands were made from the 7ist and others. The firing over the hilltop sounded pretty hot. My in- quiries about the Zist were somewhat vaguely rewarded, and as I very dubtously arted {> crawl up on the top of tue hill, the men back behind the brow called to me that it was dangerous to go on, so I stopped behind a tree. Among Dend Spaniards. “I told Haring to go back. He answered: ‘Well, will you come too?’ “I answered ‘Yes,’ and he got below the crest, and I dropped into the rifle pit of the Spaniards with the dead ones lying about my feet. Just on our side of the trench were a couple of wounded Span- fards. I supposed they were all Cubans wounded {n the charge, but the Cubans were not in ii, as I learned afterward. As the firiny lessened I turned my attention to them. One fellow we grabbed rather un- ceremoniously and dragged him below the brow of the hill, as I did not think it nec- essary to expose myself, and I dressed the wounds of them both. I don’t now remem- ber just where they were wounded, but have an impression it was fatally. ‘One of them had dragged an old blanket over himself and I thought him dead till I saw a movement and examined him. He seemed disinclined to be disturbed, and as I made signs to know where he was hyrt I pointed to my red cross to reassure him, Some one who could speak Spanish told me he said to cut hig throat. One of them seemed tO say something gratefully about ‘Americanos.’ After resting for a while I said to Haring: “Well, as long as we can’t find our regi- ment, we might as well go back to the place where we can do the most good—to the bank where there were so many wounded? “There were many demands upon our at- tention, and the bullets were flying thick over our heads as the Spaniards tried re- peatedly to ea their lost position. Dif- ferent sorts of bullets with various hisses and rapid-fire guns were rolling out suc- cessions of hisses and shells were scream- ing about over” our heads. The stream where we were working had fine, high banks, and as long as we kept close in and low we were perfectly safe, but we could hear the missiles striking in the opposite bank. You need not doubt that I kept low and out of harm's way, for the sound was decidedly unpleasant music. “It was now getting late and the wound- ed began to ask !f they had to He there all night. There were officers among them, and with the repeated charges of the Span- iards they asked if there was not danger of capture. The firing was so heavy that I feared it myself, but I assured them theré was no danger of that, and told them I feared they pee have to remain all night, and many of them did. Agrees With Sherman. “Men fatally wounded had to remain there in the mud, suffering the agony of their wounds, in addition to every discom- fort. How many times Sherman’s remark recurred to me, and I fully realize with him that ‘war is hell,’ 5 “Ambulances could net usurp the roed when it was necessary to use it for troops, artillery, ammunition and rations, and the country is impasstble except in the road- way, and a bad roadway at that. We had the best field division hospital established possible under the circumstances, but the only shelter was four hospital tent flys for the operating tables, and I saw but three ambulances on the road, though may be there were more later as the road cleared. The surgeon ox had sent great num- bers of them to Tampa, “Well, I have wandered from my tale and my wounded.

I had the gun straps interlaced between the rifles, thus making an arrangement on which @ man might be carried. Several other officers who were about assisted me, and my hospital corps in gathering all the able-bodied men about, and I sent back on such improvised litters all the wounded I could get bearers for and who were able to endure such riding. “Some officers lying there with leg wounds, and not so badly off as the others, I told I could-not send in while others needed it moro urgently; of gourse they acquiesced, though it seemed hard. After etting off all I could on the way to the fospital, and necessarily leaving serious cases lying there, persons too badly hurt to be moved in that crude way, Haring ard I started again across the meadows to the hill, and finally got traces of the regi- ment, positive indication bang a vounded an brought back from the 2ist, After ressing his wounds and some others on the way up the hill I reached their head- quarters, on @ commanding position. “It was dusky in the moonlight, and the men were digging trenches with their bayonets to protect themselves and hold their position. A couple of their dead were lying near, and one of the wounded was jade as comfortable as might be, under a bush, for the night. As soon as the colonel returned J got his permission to go back to the field hospital, as I supposed all doctors would be needed there. One of my men had given me two hard tacks, which I munched while awaiting thé colonel. “Though only about four miles back, it seemed seven to me, through mud and streams, and I was wet above my knees, It was a busy scene at the hospital. Other dcetors had walked back as I had done, and the work went on all night Jong, to be continued the next day. “At 1 o'clock Dr. Jones, who belongs with the division hospital, gave me a supp with coffee and sardines, and it was ex- oted the principal part of the work could bs finished in a couple of hours, so I turned in for a little rest to day. be ready for the next Work of Sharpshooters. “Whon I left. some were still working, and relays were being arranged, so that they could get some rest. As I got toward our advanced line bullets of Spanish sharp- shooters were whistling about, and under the bank of a stream about a mile from the front a number of wounded were col+ lected and several doctors.
