1898. BATTLE OF SANTIAGO May Be Fought Within the Present Week. ASSAULTED AN OLD WOMAN. Under Adverse Circumstances, Con- sirered Most Extraordinary. THE BATTLE OF LA QUASINA, Where Roosevelt's Rough Riders Braved a Deadly Spanish of Our Men Were Killed and Sixty Wounded or Colonel Roosevelt Seized a Rifle and Rushed Into tie Thick I of the Dead Heroes Buried Where They Fell Fighting For the Stars and Stripes.

Juracua, Cuba, via Kingston, Jamaica, June of the United States and Spain almost face to face and less than four miles apart. The plcfcpi lines at certain points nre within hailing distance of the It seems certain that the battle of Santiago must come within a week. The troops were all ashore here and at Daiquiri, with the exception of r. few scattered companies that have gone forward. supplies are sufficient to enable the army 10 sustain a week's campaign at both landing points.

The landine of troops. uornfes and Bupplies has been extraordinary. With ouly ono tteam barge, and to depend on treacuoroua and mall boats. General Sliaftor hat landed over 16,000 men. hundreds of horses mul mules aud thousands of dollars' worth of supplies on tho exposed beat and only two men have lost their lives.

No more than 50 animals have been drowned, and scarcely a package of Bupplies has been lost. The Initial fight of Colonel Wood's rough riders and the troopers of the First and Tenth regular cavalry wil! be known in hibtory 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 KB perfect an ambuscade as was ever formed In the brain of an Apacho Indian was prepared, and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and bis men walked Bouarely into It. For an hour and a half thi held their ground under a perfect storm of bullets from the front and sides, and then- Colonel Wood at "the right Coicuei-woosBveriuC tne left led a charge which turned the tide of battle and Bciil the enemy flying ever the hills toward.Santiago. It is now definitely known that 1C men on the American side were killed, while 60 were wounded or are reported to be missing.

It is impossible to calculate tbe Spanish losses, but it is known that they were far heavier than those of Americans, at least as regards actual loss of life. Already 37 head Spanish soldiers have been found and burled, while many others are undoubtedly lying in the thick underbrush on the side of the gully, and on the slope of the hill, where the main body of the enemy was located. The wounded were all removed. A complete list of the American killed, revised to 4 o'clock Saturday, la as follows: Captain Allyn K. Capron, Sergeant Hamilton Fish, Sergeant Doherty.

Sergeant Marcus Rus- coll, Privates Leggctt, Harry Heffner, Jlilden W. Danson. W. T. Irvln, Slen- noc, B.

Work. Krupp, Dix. Kelb'e and Barlin and Corporal White. That the Spaniards were thoroughly posted as to the route to be taken liy the Americans in their movement towards Sevilla was evident, as shown by the careful preparations they had niado. Where the fight occurred the roads arc but little more than gullies, rough and narrow, and at places almost impassable.

Nearly half a mile separated Roosevelt's men from the regulars, nnd between them and on both sides of the road in the thick underbrush was concealed a force of Cpaniards that must have been large, Judging from the terrific and constant fire they poured in on the Americans. In tho two hours' fighting during which the. volunteers battled against their concealed enemy enough deeds of herosim were done to fill a vol- time. One of the men of Troop desperately wounded. was lying squarely between the- lines of fire.

Burgeon Church hurried to his side, nnd, with bullets all around him. drossed'the man's wound, bandaged it and walked unconcernedly back, soon returning with two men cud a litter. Tbe wounded man was placed on the litter and brought into our lines. Another soldier of Troop 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. Sergeant Bell stood by the side of Captain Capron when the latter was mortally hit.

He had seen that he was lighting against terrible odds, but he iievcr flinched. "Give me your gun a minute." he said to the sergeant, ami kneeling down he deliberately aimed nnd fired two shots in quick succession. At each a Spaniard was seen to fall. Boll in tho meantime had seized a dead comrade's gun and knelt beside his captain and fired steadily. When Captain Capron fell lie pave the ser- a parting message to his wife Youiie Brnte Who Committed a Serl ons Crime Arrested.

A Hunter visited Strickleistown, a villag east cf Newmanstown, this county, ant arrested Zacbarias Clay, a young man aged 17 yeare, who charged with serious, brutal crime.
