CHAPTER V-—He recelves orders to land Miss La Tossa, who {8 considered & dangerous spy, osn Cuban sofl.

CHAPTER VI-He saves the transports ! from destruction at the hands of dyna- | miters and reports to Admiral Sampson , for further duty, . CHAPTER VII-Holton {s sent to Gen- | eral Garcla’s command In the gulse of a | newspaper correspondent to {investigate { Cuban plots against the Americen troops and to_learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader | in the work of fomenting trouble among }hnd Cubans in the interests of the Bpan- ards. CHAPTER VIN—Holton s selzed by friends of the spy and later is ordered executed. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling into a Span- ish ambush, CHAPTER TIX--He learns from General Garcia that the spy Is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at San Juan. “Tollon s present Tdea was {o wait for the army to move, purposing to follow their advance, and under cover of the battle to enter Santiago. But as day after day passed it seemed to him as though the order to advance would be given, He went up to the Cuban camp sev- eral times, and on one of these occa slons had a long conference with Gar- cia, to whom still maintaining his role as an English newspaper correspond- ent, he related the details of his mis- adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's face clouded as Holton proceeded, and at the conclusion of his narrative he regarded the young officer sadly. “l do not doubt what you say, Mr. Ogilve,” he sighed gloomily, “but it is a hard blow. Jose Cesnola is—was— one of our most trusted leaders. Now that 1 know, I can attribute many mis- fortunes to him, for he was very much in our confidence. Very well! Friends, comrades, have deserted us, have proved traitorous before this—I shall bear him in mind.” Six days in all elapsed before any indication that the army was to move came to the surface. On the sixth day, June 30, however, orderly and aides began galloping down the road- way and the word came that the ad- vance was to begin at four o'clock that afternoon. Holton wondered if the entire army was to move at once or whether each command was to take up the march at an appointed hour. At four promptly his question was answered when the entire force broke camp and crowded into the narrow | { Jungle trail at practically the same ! minute, Holton followed along the trail with an infantry regiment, The army was now marching into the wooded valley which bordered the high grass lead- ing to and up San Juan hill, with the smaller rise, Kettle Hill, on one sice. As the day waned the men who knew that on the morrow would come the supreme test, settled down for the night with grim faces. Midnight passed. Men stirred rest. lessly in their blankets. And in the rifle-pits that ribbed San Juan dark- faced men in blue drill uniforms called on the Virgin—and waited, Morning broke, silent and fog laden. An orderly galloped up to General Sumner, head of the cavalry division, and presenting General Shafter's com- pliments, told him to move his divi- sion to the edge of the woods. “What shall I do when 1 get there?” | asked Sumner. “Await further orders,” was reply. Holton strolled up to El Paso and found the regulars and the Rouzh Riders resting on their arms. Grimes’ men were training their guns on San Juan, and impatiently awaiting the word to open fire, It seemed ages to Holton before the order came, but come it did at last. the ‘the men of the batteries sprang tense- ly into position, and as a 'p order broke the silence, a leo: wced man Jerked his arm sidewisc. A live of {Lick, red flamne leaped out of the loag. thin muzzle, a bellying cloud of yel- lowish-white smoke rolled and tum bied and made the air murky. Anoth- er gun belched forth its projectile, and soon all the guns were thuvrdering with well-ordered precision, The men were all crouched now, waiting for orders.

He had viewed as much of this visitation of sightless death in these dense woods as he could stand. Halt-crawling, he suddenly came up- on the Rough Riders in a fever of rage. Sumner had been ordered by Shafter to awalt orders here at the edge of the woods, but where were the orders? How long were they to be delayed? An hour from now there would be no Americans to receive or- ders. To Holton it appeared as though the army had been deserted, left to its fate when suddenly word came from Lieutenant Miley, representing Gen- eral Shafter, who was ill, for Sum- ner's division to move at once on Ket- { tle Hill, lying to the east of San Juan and somewhat nearer the trails from which the soldiers were to enter upon their attack, Instantly from out of that fringe of | Woods and into the open, roofed with & torrent of lead, sprang the negro | regulars and the Rough Riders, bawl- | ing their tamous “yip yip” at the top | of their tungs, while from a clump of i trees near the San Juan ford Parker's | little battery of gatling guns rattled | incessantly. To the left, out of the woods, flowed regiment after regi- ment of white regulars, with that 2al- lant soldier, Gen. Hamilton Haw kins, at their hcad, making for the block- house on San Juan hill, | Holton, drawn iriesistibly by the spirit of the ‘conflict had seized a car- ! bine from a dead soldier, and in his excitement he cut across from the | foot of Kettle Hill and found himself first on the cdge of the smull lake ly- ing between Kettle Hill and San Juan | hill, and then, as though the transt- tion had been affected by magic, he was among Hawkins' infantrymen on i the slope of San Juan—lying down and firing, then going forward in a crouching rush, just as he saw the men around him doing. Once, lying | down, he looked behind and on either | side and marvcled that the long, thin | blue line of charging men was not ! | wiped out utterly. There seemed so | few of them. | ! Here and there he saw advancing ! groups, and then again one man, yell- ing and firing all by himself. The bullets poured upon them pitilessly. Men were falling on all sides, | As he veered along the slope of the hill a young regular officer passed him uncoecernedly snapping pictures of the charge and yelling for his men to come on. He smiled at Holton, and Holton smiled back. Then with a yell the onrushing sol. diers came to thuir first rifle-pit. A few dead Spanish soldiers lay in it, but othierwize it was unocey 4 pied.
