The sound of the bullets cutting through the chaparral affected the nerves the Rough Riders, and a few men showed signs of panic, but the <ool demeanor of Colonel Wood and Lieutenant Colonel Roose- velt soon restored confidence and évery man settled down to work. Troop L was re-enforced by Troop G, but still the enemy pressed forward. Colonel Wood’s men yielded their ground slow Meanwhile the sound of firing warned the other troops at the rear that their comrades were en- gaged. A great scramble to get it to the front then began. Owing | to the roughness of the ground | it was impossible to form ranks, and each man rushed forward as best he-could. They found Troops L and G fighting desperately, penned in an awkward position with a wire trocha on one side and a ravine on the other.

By 10 o'clock the enemy had been checked, with the assistance ! of the Tenth and Twenty-second. The fighting on the mesa con- tinued furiously for an hour in the burning sun. The men had throats of the officers became so parched whisper their commands. Rifles became almost too hot to hold.

The fight near Sevilla began at 8 o’clock in the morning and last the most desperate during the first. hour. Up to g o'clock the Spaniards, who began the attack tenaciously, held their ground Between g and 12 o’clock the bat tle was a running one, the enemy hastily retreating toward Sevilla, and our troops as hastily pursu- |ing. It was rare good ‘luck that saved the Spaniards from com- plete annihilation when they en- countered the regularsand Rough Riders in the outskirts of Sevilla this morning: They had to face barely 1000 Americans, but if the fight had been delayed a few hours, enough Americans to crush them completely would no water in their canteens and the | that they could only | who were carrying the ammuni- | Santiago can be taken only after | ed four hours.

He had continued to fire after he had been struck by three bullets, and retired only after the fourth bullet-had hit him. Others whose names(I could not learn gave Dr. Lamotte and his assistants plenty to do. By this time all the Rough Riders had gone into the engage- ment, but they seemed unable to check the enemy’s determined advance. Colonel Wood sent an orderly to ask for re-enforce- ments. He met the Tenth Cav- alry, which dismounted hurried- ly and moved forward, as did the Twenty-second Infantry. Cast- ing aside their baggage, the men who had a few moments before been lying exhausted on the ground, sprang to their feet, tached force that the Spanish en- gaged. Against our 1000 men they pitted 2000. They were strongly entrenched behind bush- es and had every advantage in position as well as in numbers. Despite this fact theywereinglori- ously repulsed by an inferior force long before the second de- tachment of American troops ar- rived upon the scene. Colonel Roosevelt’s men, who had pushed their way toward Sevilla yes- terday, resumed their march soon after sunrise this morning. They were join- ed by a detachment of Cubans under General Castillo. who gulded them over the steep hills along the winding paths. Constant watch was kepnt for the enemy, but none seemed to be lurk- ing in the thick underbrush that linea the narrow roadway. It began to | peem as if the enemy had retreated into 'Sevilla and the me{n were advancing in quick order when the crack of Mauser rifles suddenly was heard. Bullets whizzed over the heads of the Rough Riders.

His men had been caught in an | | ambush. The firing at once became | | turious. | | bullets came whistling toward our men | |and the engagement had hardly begun | | when several Rough Riders rolled over | | on the ground; de: The Spanish could not be definitely | located. They were well screened by | | the underbrush and their positions | | could be judged only from the direction | | of their fire. General Castillo’'s men began firing more rapidly and the| Rough Riders made ready to join in the shooting. Provoked by their in- ability to see the enemy the men be- | 8an to curse. “‘Don’t swear!” Colonel Woodshouted. “Shoot!” They did. They joined the Cubans in pouring a terrific fire into the bushes where the Spaniards lay. It was an even fight for the next fifteen minutes or so. The fire of the Spanish then fell off a bit. They seemed to be falling or retreating. Lighter and lighter became the fire from the underbrush, until | finally only an occasional shot whizzed toward the Americans’ position. This | evidence that the enemy was on the run quickly inspired the American troops. They charged forward, pres- ently gaining a position from which they could see the Spaniards. They renewed their fire with greater | vigor, driving the enemy foot by foot toward Sevilla. The Spaniards resisted the American advance with great stub- | bornness, but the tide of battle had | | turned against them. During the next | two hours they devoted themselves less and less to shocting and finally fled ccipitately toward Sevilla. |~ While the Rough Riders were giving | and " taking hard knocks on the high | ground the firing became general in | the valley to the north, where General | Lawton, the Cuban skirmish line hav- | ing been driven back, checked the ad- vance of & strong Spanish force, and sventually compelled them to retreat. General Lawton succeeded in bringing a section of the mountain battery into | action. This kept .the road clear of Spaniards while our troops quickly formed and moved forward. There was heavy firing in this locality, but at noon General Lawton seemed to have pressed the enemy back across Jura- guasito Creek. The Second Massachusetts took part in this engagement, and they thus were the first volunteers, aside from the { Rough Riders, to be under fire. When the Mindora started with this dispatch the battle was in full pro- gress both on the mesa and across the v. The Spanish everywhere were ng bravely and making desperate resistance, but they were slowly yield- ing in all directions. An attempt of the enemy to execute a flank movement on our troops in the mesa was checked by the Wampatuck and New Orleans, which shelled the chaparral just beneath:the top of the ridge. It is impossible at this hour to make any accurate estimates of wne losses on either side. Several of the Rough Riders reported as killed or wounded are coming to the rear for surgical treatment. Their wounds are mostly slight. The men say others are hurt too badly to get back without stretch- ers owing to the thickness of the undef- brush, which covers a great part of the battlefield. Many of the dead will be undiscov- ered for days until their whereabouts is revealed by the vultures, which al- ready hover in thousands over the field. The Spanish loss is believed to be heavy. It is known that it is con- siderably in excess of the American loss. ‘When rolls are called to-night some light will be thrc vn on the American losses, but it will not be conclusive. Many men are certain to have lost their commands during the battle and they may be unable to rejoin their organiza- tions before'to-morrow. They will be reported as missing in the meantime. Many dead Spaniards lay about the blockhouses where the enemy made its final rally. After the structure had been set on fire the bodies of these soldiers were cremated and it is be- lieved hundreds died. The heat was intense during the day and a great many of the American troops were prostrated. This, with the nervous excitement attendant upon their first battle, was a heavy strain upon the men. General Lawton, in obtaining a posi- tion acro$s Juraguasito Creek, is en- camped only six miles from Santiago Cathedral and two miles from Sevilla. To the westward General Garcla is making splendid progress. While our troops were engaged about ' Sevilla, General Garcia attacked Hermitano, five miles west of Socapa Castle and only eight miles from. Santiago. There is a small Spanish fort at Hermitano, with some field guns, supported by a garrison. General Garcia sent 1000 Cu- bans against this fort, the attack being designed to prevent General Linares from sending troops to check the ad- vance of the main army. The Cubans attacked so spiritedly, however, that they are reported to have taken part of the intrenchments. The Spanish are preparing to fall back to Caimanes, which is inside the regular defenses of Santiago. Cobre ‘was abandoned by General Linares last night and the garrison was withdrawn to Caimanes. During General Garcia's attack on Hermitano the Texas und Brookiyn shelled the Socapa and Es- trella fortifications, which replied feebly. . ¥ When Miundora left the two battle- ships were firing at Juraguasito to pre- vent the Spanish from destroying a From several sides the enemy’s | T rallroad bridge which they were pre- paring to do. The Cubans report that General Linares has unds ned many of the roads and paths leading into Santiago and that he will try to blow up our artillery. The ‘Spanish general evidently has plenty of powder and ammunition, for he abandoned a con- siderable gquantity at Baiquirl. Unless his progress is considerably checked General Shafter will have San- tiago completely invested by Sunday. He has intimated that he will smash the city’s defenses without delay and Admiral Sampson has prepared to co- | operate. The engagement in which the Ameri- cans suffered such a severe loss was preceded by sharp fighting on the day before. It was apparently a part of the Spanish tactics to make the Amer- icans believe that the enemy had en- tirely abandoned the country leading toward Santiago. Dozens of dark col- umns of smoke rose early Thursday morning from the hilltons lying be- tween the American camp at Altfres and the city of Santiago. From this it was thought by many of our troops that the Spaniards had sought safety in-the outer defenses of the beleagured city. It had been a night full of anx- iety for the men on the picket lines. General Lawton late on Wednesday afternoon had pushed the Twenty-sec- ond, Twenty-fifth and part of the Sec- ond Massachusetts Infantry to a point three miles to the westward of Baiquiri. This he succeeded in doing without opposition from the Spanish. The American picket line during the night had been thrown to a point a mile beyond that contemplated in General Lawton’s instructions. All of our men were very alert, and every preparation to repel a night at- tack was made. It was thought likely that the enemy would resort to the same tactics they had adopted when the marines from the Marblehead were landed at the entrance to Guantanamo Bay. In this they were mistaken, how- ever, as no attempt was made to dis- turb the American forces. Above the apex of the hill a quarter mile beyond our advance pickets a tongue of flame leaped into the air just at dawn. This was quickly followed by another and another flash above the adjacent hilltops until at least a dozen fires were burning fiercely within a radius of five miles. Columns of smoke in other directions indi- cated that many more fires, shut out of view by the surrounding moun- tains, had been started by the Span- iards. 2 As the sun rose higher it revealed a blazing blockhouse on the nearest hill. he flames here and at other points worked the complete destruction of the Spanish line of defense outside the regular earthworks. General Linares became convinced during the night that the United States force was too strong to be resisted and had ordered all the blockhouses to be filled with combustibles and fired when the Spanish retreat began. The little village of Altares on the coast four miles west of Baiquiri, which so tena- ciously held out Wednesday under the withéring fire of the American gun- hoats, was evacuated by the garrison of 300 Spanish infantry at the same time. These troops began to retreat toward Santiago, being compelled to travel through almost impassable mountain defiles, the entrances to which were4it- tle known by any but the Cuban scouts. No other route for the retreat was pos- sible for the Spaniards. however, and they struggled toward the city as best they could. It looked at one time as if this retreat would be successful, but it finally terminated in a severe repulse for the Spaniards through the vigilance of General Castil’o and his Cubans. General Castillo, to guard against be- ing surprised by the enemy, had gone forward Wednesday afternoon with a detachment v.» mounted Cubans. When they arrived at a point two miles in- land from Altares General Castillo was informed by the scouts of the retreat of the Spanish infantry.” He immediately took steps to intercept the Spaniards and succeeded in cutting off a part of the Spanish column. There was furious skirmishing when the Spaniards found, they had been ambushed. As'soon as they had recov- ered from their surprise they returned the Cuban fire with vigor. They were halted at once and soon afterward were compelled to fall back, and before the engagement had been under way half an hour they were completely put to rout. They fled in such haste that their baggage and much of their am- munition were captured by Castillo’s men and several soldiers and teamsters were taken prisoners. In this_engagement one Cuban was killed afl several were wounded. I could not learn how many Spaniards were killed. The Cubans, although in- ferior in numbers to the Spanish, pur- sued them for several miles, keeping up a vigorous fire. General Castillo suddenly was given a surprise, as the enemy turned about and repewed their fire upon his men. In their first flight they had encoun- tered a detachment of Spanish soldiers, and, encouraged by this re-enforce- ment, they made another show of re- sistance. This looked like the turning point in the skirmish for the combined Span- ish forces opposed the Cubans with such force that Castillo was compelled to order his men back. The tide of bat- tle then ran in favor of the Spaniards for a time, and the Cuban success gave promise of turning into defeat. But just as matters were becomine desper- ate for Castlllo’'s men they had the same good luck as had come to the Spaniards a few minutes earlier. They were joined by a detachment of Cu- bans who had heard the firing and has- tened to the scene. ‘With his plucky little band thus re- inforced, General Castillo quickly turn- ed against the enemy again The fight hecame more vigorous than at any time during the skirmish. The Spaniards fought desperately to hold the advantage they had just gained, but the attempt was a complete fail- ure. Slowly and sullenly the enemy ‘was again forced to retreat, and finally they were put to flight. Information brought later in the day showed the Spaniards had at least four men killed. This' fight, as observed from the hills two miles to the rear, ‘was most picturesque. Not a single blockhouse was left standing by the Spaniards. 1t is evident from this skirmish that General Garcia is carrying out his part of the programme, and is pressing closely toward Santiago from the west. Carrying Coal to B;wey. PHILADELPHIA, June 25—The British ships Glooscap, Captain Scheyer, and East Lothian, Captain McFarlane, sailed from this port to-day for Manila with dearly 6000 tons of coal for Admiral Dewey's fleet. The two cargoes are valued at about $17,000, but the freight received by the two ships will be more than double this sum. The two captains will do all in their power to get to Manila in the shortest possible time. CRUSHING _ DEFEAT OF - AGRARIANS Will Not Have Over a Hun- - dred Votes in the - Reichstag. Kaiser Williamn Threatens to Adopt Drastic Measures to Re- / press Socialism. BERLIN, June 25.—For the United States the most interesting result of theelections just held inGermanyis the wholesale defeat of agrarianism. The only single agrarian candidate elected was returned on the first ballot on June 16, while the successful Conservatives, National Liberals and Centrists pledged to agrarianism only totale 66. So including yesterday's and to- day’s successes, the agrarian strength | in the new Reichstag will certainly not exceed 100. Emperor William was very indignant at the early Socialist gains and ex- pressed himself strongly. He remarke “It is time to stop persuasion and try more drastic measures, or these fel- lows will destroy all.” But the later returns will probably mollify the powers that be. Neverthe- less, the Government, and particularly the Emperor, is not disposed to offer any compromise to socialism. There is already talk of repressive legislation, but the officials are deaf to all sug- gestions for removing the causes of socialism by means of social reforms. ‘Among the curious facts developed by the recent election is the discovery by a department chief of the Ministry of the Interior that most of the sub- ordinates voted for the socialistic can- didates, the ringleader being a favor- ite copyist. Seven of these employes were immediately dscharged when this fact became known. The highest personages in the participated in the electioneering. Leipsic a high Government official stood at the polls and buttonholed voters, urging them not to support the Socialist candidate, Herr Scmidt. Herr August Hintze, the socialist leader of thie city, who denounced the election letter of Count von Posadow- ski-Wehner, the Minister of the In- terior and representative of the Chan- cellor, was arrested on election day on the charge of slandering a Government officer.

He was second secretary of the legation under Bancroft in Berlin from 1871 to 1874; first secretary from 1874 to 1877; minister to Switzerland for four years and minister to Brussels for four years. Young Fish was 26 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall. powerfully built, an athlete every inch of him. He rowed at No. 7 on the winning Colum- bia crew of 1895 and was a clever boxer. After leaving college he roughed it in TUtah at railpoading and came back to New York in 1896. He was ta.ngledl up with all the night life of the city, fight- ing with coachmen and policemen and running into extravagance which often brought his name before the public.
