RESULTS OF TROPI ge Ist District of Only one member of the Columbia Regiment had the distinction of entisting white in the trenches in front of Sentiago. This man William H. 4, Hal arted out with Company E as s ant ccok for the officers’ mess. Upon er- riving at Santiago he concluded to enter the service. Private Hall is a strapping big fellow, about thirty years of age. Capt. Graham says that ne has proved one of the best men in Company E and rendered valu- able service. The date of Private Hali’s enlistment is July 15, just five days after his arrival in Cuba. During the encampment Heights orders were issued from divi headquarters that no one should be allowed to go in bathmg except between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock p.m. The resuit was that the streams in that vicinity were filled with men during this time. On several occasions the bathers had an exhibition of tie rapid way in which streams in tropical countrics increased from a very shailow body of water to a perfect torrent. It was during the first part of Au- gust that many members of the Ist Regi- ment of the District of Columbia witnessed these rapid changes in the character of the stream. ‘They were in bathing on one occasion, when a warning note was sounded by one of the men, who was at the farthest point up-stream, nd could a deluge of water rushing toward the main body of the bath- Ordinarily, one had to lie down in the m in order to have the water cover his but no sooner had this ery of warn n uttered than the water arose as if tering stream had been suddenly who on San Juan on turn into a great river. The men had their clothes placed on a bank ten or twelve feet above the water; but so rapidly did the stream turn into a rushing torrent that they b: aved their clothing from being carried away and many of the men na rowly escaped drowning. The regular cor- ral, where a large number of horses were kept, was also on high ground near the b of the stream, and the horses were oni removed in time to save them. A Rushing Torrent. The stream now came on as @ rolling tor- rent, bringing with it immense pieces of fallen trees, which in their rapid rush crushed all the smaller growth before them. The men had hardly recovered from their surprise at seeing this little stream turn into a great river, when it went down as suddenly as it came up, and again it was the small body of water they had known a few hours previously. ‘These transformations were witne: by the District regiment on three occasions while they were encamped on San Juan Heights. Orce the river rose sixteen feet in half an how On ene of these occasions no rain fell in the vicinity of the bathers, but heavy clouds were noticed over the n¢ighboring moun- tains, where a deluge of water took place. On one occasion it was noticed that ten minutes from the time a flood of rain ap- peared on the mountain top the little stream bectme a torrent. ‘After the surrender of Santiago horses be- came cheaper than they have ever been made in the United States by the intro- duction of cable and electric railroads. The Spanish officers, preparing to return to their homes, had ne use for their mounts, and sold them for anything they could get. Many valuable horses were sacrificed for a song. Those who did not succeed in selling their animals left them to wander at large until picked up by Cubans, ever on the alert for such prizes. i On one occasion an officer asked one of the American soldiers, a young boy, to do him some favor, and when he had been accommodated, presented the young man With a fine donkey, as a tip. Preston King’s Capture. Hespital Steward Preston King of the District regiment wears a leather belt which may yet get into the possession of Mrs. Fish, the mother of Hamilton Fish, who was killed during the charge of the Rough Riders at the battle of La Quasina. King was visiting the little graveyard near La Quasina, where so many of the brave men of the American army were buried, and he noticed a leather belt lying over the grave of Hamilton Fish. It belonged to no one, and he put it on. After return- ing here Mr. King visited the general hos- pital and met the trained nurse who had been sent there at the expense of Mrs. Fish. This nurse has informed Mrs. Fish of the relic which was found on her son's grave. Mrs. Fish is making a collection of everything that belonged to her son or in any way was connected with him while he was a member of the Rough Riders. Cempany A has a mascot which is the pet of every one in the District regiment. This mascot is a small dog which was taken with the regiment from Washington ard went through all of the campaign in Cuba. Somehow or other, the deadly char- acter of the Cuban climate did not affect Mr. Dog, and while the men were starving in the trenches before Santiago the dog did not cease to grow fat. Since | | arriving here the dog has been provided | with a small blanket, on which $s labeled “Co. A, 1st D. C. Vol he dog appeared with the regiment when it marched down Pernsylvania avenue First Sergeant Lamb of Company E brought a Cuban parrot with him. He se- cured this bird in Santiago. The parrot is very talkative, and, it is said, uses very improper language at times, but as it speaks only Spanish it is not likely to shock the sensibilities of people who hear it chatter in Washington. Guarding the Rouds. While in Cuba Company K, in command of Captain Young, was called upon to do a great deal of duty in guarding the roads leading into Santiago. They ad) much ditticulty in carrying out their orders. At one time people were permitted to come and go very freely, but the order was changed so that every- vishing to go into the city found it y to have a pass. poor fellow, who had been the vic- tim of a Yankee joker, presented what he supposed to be a pass. It was written in Ergiish and read: Do not allow this jackass to pass. signed “Provost Guard.” The guards noticed that one man went into the Spanish camp on several occa- sions before the pass system was put into on the statement that he was a s n soldier, and there was no inten- tion of preventing Spanish prisoners re- turning to their camps when they became separated from them. The same fellow would come out and represent himself as a Cuban. He played this double role for some time, when it was discovered that he was a trader. When he again presented hirself to go out of the Spanish camp he was told that he had gone in as a Span- ish soldier and that he would have to stay there as a Spanish soldier. Cuban merchants were very energetic in pushing their trade among the Spanish prisoners, and used all sorts of ingenious methods in order to pass the lines where the guxrd stood watch. It was a common occurrence for one man to come out of the Spanish camp showing every evidence of great distress and leaning on the shoul- ders of two other men. It would be rep- resented that he was a sick man going to thy hospital, but a few hours later the same trio would be found returning to the camp laden with all sorts of supplies they had obtained in Santiago. A Bamboo Lantern. Among the curios brought back to the United States ts a piece of a very large bamboo cane formed into a lantern. It was brought home by Capt. Domer of Company C, and makes one of the most urtque of the many souvenirs of the Cuban campaign. Scratched on the outside of this bamboo lantern {fs a short historica! nar- rative of the Spanish war, containing the it in date of the surrender of Santiago and mary other interesting events A very large number of the soldiers have recorded history on their hats. Those given to historical work have practically covered their gray army hats with a rec- ord of events and dates en which they took piace. In all cases where this Was Gone the hat bears the name of the soldier, to- gether with the date of his muster-in. When new hats were issued to the men a great many of them were alarmed to learn that a general order had been issued that old clotking was to be burned, and men wearing these hats, which they valued be- yend money, proceeded to tuck them away in their baggage where they could not be captured by any sanitary or other officer who might come around. ft was greatly to their relief, however, when they found that the report was without foundation, ard that only men taken to the hospital had their clothing burned. Capt. Domer of Company C has a Krag- Jorgensen carbine, which was presented to him while in Cuba by Col. Roosevelt of the amous Hough Riders. The Rough Riders had captured a small number of these car- bines from the Speniards, and Col. Roose- velt very courteously presented one of them to Capt. Doner, wko brought it home with him. Queer Flag of Truce. Lieut. Harrison of Company F has a mammoth Spanish bandana handkerchief. As Lieut. Harrison was proceeding along a road near Santiago after the surrender he met a Spaniard who waved this large bandana handkerchief at him, and potnt- {ing to a hole in it, said, in very broken English: “See, Americano bullet.” In avery crude manner the Spaniard pro- ceeded, by words and gestures, to explain that he had been a sharpshooter, and while up a tree had waved his bandana as a flag of truce. The bardana, while largely red, contained a number of white spaces, which the Spaniard thought would indicate {ts character. But somehow a bullet flew up in the tree and went through the handker- chief. making the hole he ad pointed out. idently the American soldier had not been able to recognize the red handker- chief as a flag of: truce and fired on the hooter. ‘The handkerchief is a cn- rious one, of the kind issued by the Span- ish* government to its soldiers. In_ its center is printed a picture of a rifle, about which are instructions for using the rifle and many rules of Spanish military drill. > “URSIONS.

Dobson. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In response to the many inquiries of the friends of Sergt. Dobson, who expected to mect him at the return of the regiment, will you give the following statement: On Monday The Star announced that he had been tnat day sent to the generai hos- pital at Montauk, suspected to have typhoid fever. His parents decided that his moth- er, who is an excellent nurse, should at once go to him, and, knowing how hard it was to find a sick man in that unsystematic place, the facilities of The Star were called upon. The special correspondent of your paper at Montauk was instructed to meet Mrs. Dobson and give her every afd pos- sible to find the boy. By this means he was found in the afternoon of Tuesday, having just arrived at the hospital, the usu- al twenty-four hours’ delay in securing an ambulance having occurred. On examina- tion the surgeons decided that he must go to a New York hospital, and he was sent on Wednesday by transport, landing at St. Peter's Hospital in Brooklyn. Here he was placed In a noisy room with sixteen others, and for two hours had not received atten- tion, when his mother was ordered out of the building and told that she cou'd not enter until 3 p.m. on Thursday. At this time he was delirious, and nothing quieted nim but his mother’s presence. Having in- fluential friends in New York, on Thursday he was moved to the Long Island Hospital, his mother being allowed to stay with him, and typhoid fever diagnosed. The last re- port received, at 9 o'clock last evening, stated that he was doing well, but as he is emaciated and very weak, the result is much in doubt. ~ H. A, DOBSON.

ONE HAPPY Greets His Own Hero @s He Returns From Santitizo. There was cre snviil boy superlatively happy in Washingtof: yesterday. His sol- dier had returned, an@ he had the exquisite delight of meeting him at the station, keep- ing step with him up-the avenue and final- ly going Into transports ef delight when he could sit down in the gfass in the White Lot and hear his soldier's experiences- from Washington to fame iand glory, via San- tlago. There were norrelatives to greet the soldier and nobody in fall the surging thous- ands who cheered hisrcomtades thought of him as an individuaz Not one but this bright-eyed, handsome smail boy, who now literally revels in poékets full of Santiago relics, and whose knotwiedge of those fate- ful July days was imparted by his own soldier. All Washington will remember the day this young lad adopted the soldier. It was May 16, when the District regi- ment left this city, but only the soldier and the boy really knew a very interesting part of the last chapter. One of the incidents of that afternoon found its way into the newspapers, and the small boy had a big share in it. Everybody rem>mbers the story of the soidier who had been put in charge of some of the regiment property while the command rested in the White Lot. He was a stranger and one of the iast of the recruits, but he knew what duty meant. When the regimgnt fell in line to march to the depot nobody bothered about him and nobody came to relieve him of his trust. He continued at his post till night fell, when he was discovered by the small boy, who was just as much impressed with the new soldier's conception of his duty as was the recruit himeelf. The boy at once constituted himself the lost link between the faithful guard and the authorities, and, more than that, went home and had his mothér put up the nicest kind of a lunch for the soldier. The night Was cool, and to the lunch he added an overcoat from the home wardrobe. ‘The next day he constituted himself a commit- tee of one to see his soldier off from the station and the two, parted the best of friends. The boy has had letters from his hero right straight along. and when the soldier boys got home yesterday the young chap could not restrain his excitement as he eagerly scanned the bronzed faces. He had not changed, but the soldier had, and it was the latter who recognized his little friend first. The soldier -had gone through a variety of fevers and shows their bad marks, but the boy says all the rest of his soldier's record is O. K., which fact ts at- tested by the officer: er Ww seed 8 under whom he BOY. a ———— SAVED FOK MEMORY'S SAKE. The Flowers Will Ever Be Cherished y the Krave Soldier Boy In the days to come some little tot of a fellow will be sitting on his mamma’s knee and she will open a big book and show him a flattened bunch of fz rs and tell him that the scentless petals and lifeless leaves were once the beautiful bouquet that his grandpa carried on his gun up the ave- nue when h. came home from Suntiago. Then she'll tell him all about the great re- ception, and maybe grandpa himself will come in and add to the story and tell the child how much a big flower garden his regiment looked as it swung along to see the President on that wonderful day so long ago. That bouquet is now only one of the hun- dreds that added so much beauty to the effective scenes yesterday, and all will doubtless be cherished and kept just lke it. The entire floral feature ¥ its conception, and was carri tion with admirable taste : s perfect in to comple- d judgment. Each soldier's gun muzzle was transformed into a bouquet holder, each officer was pre- sented with a wreath of laurel and gladi- olus, and to the hospitals great ma of blooms were sent to sweeten the w: the sick soldiers.

KEPT OPEN HOUSE. The Managers of Soldiers’ tended Hospitality. The Soldiers’ Rest, at 1204 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, was a busy place all day yesterday, the rooms being reserved ex- clusively for the benefit of soldiers who might wish to witness the parade of the re- turning District troops, and who were not physiculy able to endure the fatigue of long waiting on the sidewalk. This rule in their favor was rigidly en- forced, Mrs, Babcock, chairman of the re- ception con.mittee, being in charge. During the entire day visitors were constantly com- ing and going from the marine barrack Fort Washington and Sheridan's Point, many of whom preferred remaining all day or until after the procession, to running the risk of losing their places at the windows. Lunenons were served to all who were convalescent from sickness or wounds. _A number of the 15th Pennsylvania Rez- iment boys from Sheridan's Point, on their Way to Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa., ex- pressed the warmest appreciation of the hospitality frequently enjoyed at the Rest during the summer. Over five thousand isitors are recorded on the Rest books, while many came and went from time to time without registering The ladies in constant attendance yester- day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. were Mrs. Bab- cock, chairman; Mrs, E.

Marshall Scott, an Anacostia colored man, who probably forgot to act as his own conductor while aboard an Anacos' horse car yesterday, got in trouble with Driver Barton. Scott claimed that he had paid his fare, while the driver claimed to the contrary. “My client is not a drinking man,’ argued Attorney Moss in the Police Court this morning. Policeman Bra m haa made the statement that he had been in- dulging too much. “Have you ever been convicted of any offense?” Scott was asked. “Once,” he answered. “What was that?” “Shooting crap.”” Th.s answer, the attorney argued, showed that his glient was truthful. Scott was fined $lv,#with the alternation of thirty days on the farm. —_>—_—_ Norfolk & Wash. Steamboat Co.'s Special Daylight Trip to Ft. Monroe and Norfolk. Steamer leaves 7th st. wharf at 8 am.

William Ford shook his head and then managed to say “not guilty’’ when ar- raigned before Judge Kimball this morning on a charge of disorderly conduct. It was evident from his appearance that he had not been entirely sober last night. “When I found him on C street about 2 o'clock this morning,” said Policeman Boyce, “he was asleep in the gutter. I woke him up and started him home, but he was soon down in the gutter again.” The officer said he started him home three times, and the last time Ford turned on him and became very profane. “I belleve the policeman told the truth,” said the defendant, “but I hope you will not be severe on me this morning. I gust returned home yesterday, and, of course, I had something to drink. “And then cursed,” interrupted the judge. “T guess I did,” was William's frank ad- mission. “What I was going to say,” he continued, “was that if you wuld ict me go this time I will not drink any more liquor. Besides getting drunk yesterday and being sick this morning, I was robbed of $8.75. “That's your own lookout,” the judge told him. “When you put yourself in this condition you have to take the conse- quences.” ‘A penalty of $5 or fifteen days was im- posed, and the young man stepped back. scans emia If you have furniture to sell send to C.

He Mourns the Absence of a Valu- able Parro: Yesterday afternoon just before the Dis- trict boys started on the march from 3d street and Virginia avenue, Sergt. R. L. Lamb of Company E was unfortunate enough to lose a valuable parrot, to which he is very much attached. This parrot was taken from Washington May 21 as the mascot of Company E, and has, with boys, shared all of the hardships of campaign around Santiago. Sergeant Lamb had the parrot on shoulder preparing to start off, when the bell carried by the veteran firemen began to ring and scared the bird and caused it to fly y. Naturally, the sergeant is very anxious to secure this valuable souvenir of the trip of the regiment. He will apprec’ ate Very much the receipt of information coacerning it or its return to him at Brook- land, where its fortunate captor will be presented with a handsome souvenir of the travels of the brave boys from the District of Columbia. This parrot, by the way, is one of the three mascots that survived the hardships of the trip. While in the field he learned to sound most of the familiar bugle ¢: and when the trumpeters were blowing he would generally imitate them. — > Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.
