" don. at tho Queen's Jubilee."
, f As he said this he raised himself slightly on
jt ono arm. and wo saw that bo was putting away
at a cigarette. 8cclugtliis.it was hard to re
ft. ' nllzo that Marshall was a dangorouslywoundod
rnan. A sight ot his wound, howover, changod
that opinion. Trooper Kenneth Robin
son of tho romgh rldors. who was one
ot the detail nttending the woundod, said:
"By Jovo I that man Is a wondor. I saw htm In
tho action when ho was struck down, and It
wasn't ten minutes later that he was calmly
, diot&ting his will to his friend, Mr. Lalne. and
4' Insisting that Lalne should start at once for the
$ coast. In ordor that ho might get tho first story
I K Of tho fight to the cablo station."

It K MarshaH lay In a fort ot stupor. Then he ro
ll Tived, asked for another cigarette, and, turning
Bfc ft toward tho crowd. Raid:
jf 1 "It's good of you boys to como all this way
lv f Just to git omen lift I'm ready to start when
H , J over you aro ; but first of all tell me, la it a girl
Bfib' or n boy?"
JF No ono understood his remark at first until
tjffp Mr. Gofttn remembered that Marshall had mon-
sff tloned the day boforo that ho was expecting a
B'c cablegram from New York announcing an lm
&" portant domcstlo etent in his family. As tho
1 men placed Marshall on the llttor a slight
Ivil 3't y!as unavoidable. Tho wounded man
rflf' at onco wont off into a fit, which lasted
li ; about a mlnuto and a half. Two of the
It men hold him down until the agony was
H' ,'" over. A touch ot morphine revived him
f aulokly and tho procession started coostward.
H 'With Marshall apparently qulto himself again,
1 putting away at still another cigarette At this
point tho correspondent left to go on to
the rough riders' camp, a mllo furthor on. It
was agreed that ho would bo ablo to ovortako
tho llttor aftor interviewing Col. Roosoveltas
tho march back would necessarily hato to bo
made at such a snail's paos that it would take
J at least three hours to xnako the journey.
k i Ono ot tho troopers led tho way across tho
I I battlefield and along a still narrowerpath which
BB ; in itself appeared the very embodiment ot bat-
B f tie, murder, and sudden death. Blankets,
m Jr empty canteens, canvas bags, and all man-
tl?, ner of accoutrements wero strewn along tho
Blc'Vr' "troond. At ono spot wo had to stop into the
L:4 undorgrowth in ordennot to step on tho bodlos
iof two dead 6pantards, which lay directly across
the way. A fow steps further on lay a body
m a dressed in a trooper's uniform. Tho faco was
H J . covered with a pleco of canvas, nnd as wa
j .j passod four troopers from tho camp hurried
' up to take charge of tho body. Further along
H . ' moro troopers were passed carrying another
H C body Into camp, and no less than six dead
B , Spaniards lay within fifty yards ot each other.
H - (Two of the Spaniards wero negroes, tho others
H "whlto. All woro tho little round cap trimmed
H I With red braid, and bluo overalls, such as sail-
B ,. crswoar.
L h. It was well enough to take this walk with tho
H trooper while ho regaled me with details, but it
T t, was quite another story to como back alone
H (done that patli an hour lator, just as dusk was
H falling. Then and not until then you realized
Ej the horror of war. Tho vultures and buzzards
H bad been busy In tho meantime, and two of the
H Spaniards were already little more than skelo-
H tons. It was ono ot thoso times when you
H lf wanted to shriek and yet were afraid to do so
H I lor fear of bringing somo of thoso dead Span-
H lards book to life. Tho prospect ot not over-
H r, taking the Utter boforo it reached tho camp
, proventod ono from walking slowly, and when
Hl you ran the dry undorgrowth made such a
Hj ' crackling nobo that you stopped for very toar
H ; ot the noise you rained yourself.
H k But worst of all wero tho land crabs. Thero
H was no way of escaping from the terror o( them.
m - Built on the lines of the ordinary crab, but
m ; multiplied In size by six, at the ilrst sound of
H L. your footstep theie forest freaks would plunge
m I " Into tho brush tv enty feet In front ot you with
A a crash that mado you suppose that a whole
L1 Spanish regiment nt least was on your trail.
H It took thirty-fhe minutes to catch up with
H 1 the party, but It seemed like ten years. Mar-
H: shall was sleeping under tho effect ot another
H A opiate, but as wo changed off at the litter ho
B'i7 woke and had another terrible spasm. When
Br bo was quieted ho began to sing "The Banks
Hl ot the Wabash." This sounds. I know, like an
Bl extract from a Rhoda Broughton novel, but It
,r is true nono tho less. For nearly halt an hour,
Y aa wo dragged Ute litter along, Marshall kopt
H repeating the chorus of this song over and ovor,
H : When ho finally stopped we could soo that
H cither his pain or his morphlno, perhaps both,
H ' bad mads him delirious. Ho clutched Mr.
H Ooflln by the hand.
m "Ooffln," he cried, "I'm on the city desk to-
Bi Bight, and we'vo got to beat the town on the
H ' story of this fight. Between it and tho story ot

This despatch was in answer to ono sont by
Mr. Barton whon he was at tho War Depart

her exact location, but probably forwarded the
dospalch to l'laya del Esto by messengor.
Miss Barton sent word iu a previous despatch
that the five Red Cross surgeons and the ten
nurses who wore on the State ot Texas have
all been landed. She calls for 100 pairs of
orutches and a (large supply ot light under

JBLAXCO WAXX3 CEUVERA REUEVJiD
"Writes to the Queen That Cerr era Is Not
Kqual to Ills Command.
Wasjiinotoh. July 3. News has roaohod
Washington that Captain-General Blanco has
sent a messago from Havana to the Queon
Regent of Spain, requesting her to relieve Ad
miral Corvera from command of tho floct in the
harbor of Santiago, and urging that ho be re
placed by Commodoro Yillamll. Gen. Blanco said
furthor that he did not believe Admiral Cervera
was equal to tho Importance ot his command.and
indicated that if Santiago Is lost to tho Ameri
can and Cuban soldiers it wlU bo duo to his
neglect to take advantage ot his opportunities.
Blanco thinks thnt Admiral Corvera has
allowed valuable opportunities to slip by while
he ha3 been lying in tho harbor of Santiago,
and says ho should hao gone out to meet and
fight tho American fleet beforo tho invading
army had on opportunity to land. At the Bamo
tlmo tho Captain-General's message shows
that he bollovoR. or rathor ho hopes, that Spain
Will bo victorious.
Gon. Blanco informs the Queen Regent that
tho dissension and rovolt amoug tho police and
volunteers In Havana, duo to tho strict observ
ance ot military discipline, havo blown over
and the inhabitants ot tho city, as woU as the
soldlors, aro paclQo and patrlotlo in their ex
pressions and actions. American soldiers, ho
says, are not fit to fight in Cuba, nover having
had any experience la tropical countries, aad
tho intonso heat and peculiar cUmate havo pro
duced much Illness among them. Tho Cuban
soldiers he refers to very contemptu
ously, saying that no decount is to bo
takon ot thorn, and he urges the Queen
Regent to pay no attontlon to American
roports of victories In Cuba, which, he says,
are written for tho sensational American press,
and have no foundation In fact. According to
tho mossage Blanco says that a number of ves
sols loaded with provisions from various ports
have arrived, and that thero is no danger of a
famine. The American bloakade of Havana, ho
says, is absolutely Ineffectual, and the steam
ers llnd no difficulty In running It. A few of
them aro captured, but the majority so far
havo succeeded in landing their cargoes.

Berlin, July 3. The publlo press has
awakonod to the Inconvenience caused by
Its recent utterances In regard to the
Philippines. The Cologne Oaztttt, In a
long article, ascribes tho controversy to
Amorican nervousnoss arising from tho
rcoklessnoss with which tlio Government hur
ried Into Its present enterprise and the Inade
quate preparations tor war, but says thero is
not tho slightest ground for fearing that " Ger
many might suddenly attempt to balk America
and enrich herself at the cost ot the Unitod
States by an act of violence."
'IUo Rational Zritung, in a.moro unfriendly
artlolo, says: "The Spaniards will lose their
colonies, but the Americans wUl not bo the
only gainers. The abandonment ot the Philip
pines to tho natives would undoubtedly lead to
European intervention. Diplomacy has boon
excessively pollto to the Yankees outot con
sideration to tholr sensitiveness."

Omaua. Neb., July 3 Tho regiment of Col.
Bryan Is now In the Federal service. Col. Bryan
actively assisted in tho mustoringin of his com
mand and has been eating from a tin pan for
several days nt Tort Omaha.
Fort Omaha is assuming qulto a military ap
pearance. Tho grounds aro patrolled night nnd
day, and miUtary discipline is strictly enforced.
Guards stand on duty at tho entranco to tho
grounds, and all visitors aro compelled to glvo
an account of themselves to the corporal of tho
guard beforo they are admitted.
Tho recruits aro kept within tho limits of tho
Government proporty and thosaloonkecpers at
tho fort are receiving the patronage of only the
fow who manage to run past tho guard or got
permission to leave the grounds. Peddlers are
not allowod within tho grounds, but a popcorn
boy remains on tho outsido and makes sales of
his goods by throwlngthcm over tho dangcrllno.
Moro than 1,000 men are at the fort now. all
tho companies having arrived with the excep
tion of that from Alma, and It is doubtful
whether thnt company will come, aa at tho last

On Wodncsday night, Juno 8, we woro all on
tho aid tiie, as soma friendly insurgont had
warned us that tho Spaniards intended to mako
a dash out of Santiago under cover of a torpo
do attack, and tho wholo floot kept Its search
lights on tho entranoo to tlio harbor. It was a
pitch dark night, tho moon not rising till Into
and the clouds bolng very heavy. Nothing hap
pened, though, and at midnight wo started for
tho Molo.
Tuosday, Juno 14. Yesterday aftornoon tho
Yankeo got herself into the hottest scrap
sho has yet been In. Wo woro hovering off tho
harbor ot Clentuegos when the order was given
to clear ship for action, and we all rushed to
our various posts.
I did not for a moment supposo It was any
thing moro than tho Spanish supply steamer
we had been on the lookout for. and was men tal
ly figuring how much prize money I should be
entitled to. Howover.lt turned out to bo a
Spanish gunboat on our port bow. which began
operations at onco with a broadside and a re
markably well-almod one. too. Thoso Span
iards nro learning a thing or two. She was only
about 2,000 yards from us, although, to me, it
seemed to be about 200, and was blazing away
with a ripping good battory.
No soonor had the gunboat oponed up than
tho fort and battery also oponed up iu a friendly
sort of way. just to show that thero was no Ul
feellng. We had beon artful enough to out oft
tho gunboat from hor harbor so that wo woro
now botweon two Ores, nnd tho worst of it was
they all scorned to have our rango. Tholr shots
droppod all around us and all ovor us, and It
was the greatest pleco of luck that nosholl
burst directly over us. Thero was a continuous
whiz of tho shot nud shell as they passed be
tween tho two deckhouses, and that whiz, while
rathor a pretty sound. Is not at all deslrablo.
Unfortunately wo wore to windward of the gun
boat, and all its smoke and our own blow into
our gunners' eyes, so that wo woro unable to
do her any serious Injury, although wo think
wo hit hor once, for she turned nnd mado a
swift flight into the harbor. Wo then turned
our attention to tho fort, dropping one or two
shells Into it, nnd also into tho battory;
after doing which wo beat a slow and dignified
retreat. One man, ono of tho reserves, was
badly wounded, a piece ot a shell passing
through ono of tho gun ports, tearing away part
ot his ooUarbone and part of his shoulder blado.
Later a gunboat was seen coming out ot tho
harbor and wo immediately gavo chase, only to
find whon wo came up with her that sho was a
German warship, tho Geler. Wo at first thought
it was a wily schemo on tho part of tho Span
iards to send out ono of their boats and got us
within range ot tholr guns on the fort and bat
tory again.
Evorytlmo wo flro off our guns something
breaks loose. Vibration pulls off tho doors and
screws fly In aU directions.
Yesterday's action was by fnr tho worst wo
havo been in yet Santiago and Guantanamo
wero picnics comparod to it. I think thoy must
have some foreign gunnors in their battorios
tho shooting was so good It was a dlsgraco to
the Spanish nation.
Thursday. Juno 10 At noon yesterday, con
cluding that tho Spanish merchantman had
seen tho error of herwajs nnd decldod not to
run ocr to Clcnfuegos. we started for the fleet
at Santiago. Our skipper has just returnod
from the flagship, and it seems that, although
wo wero unable to capture tho lnrger gun
boat nt Cienfucgos, wo disabled her to
such an extent that she hnd to be beached,
which explains her rapid flight Into tho harbor.
Ine-tpllcablo to us at tho tlmo, as sho had put
up such a plucky fight. Thoro Is also a report
that wo dismounted two guns nt tho fort. That
wo did somo damago wo know, as wo saw tha
explosion after tho last shell had dropped.
Friday, Juno 17, off Gunntnnamo. Wo arrived
atBantlagoyesterdayaftornoon about 1 o'clock,
muoh to our disgust too lato to join in tho
bombardment of tho fort and batteries, which
had taken placo during the morning. Wo wcra
pretty well disgusted not to And any mall. Our
recoption here was somewhat different from
what It was boforo. On tho spot where tho
blockhouse was, which wo wiped out a weok or
ten days ago, the American flag floats over an
encampment ot marines, and in the placo ot tho
village wo destroyed thero is now a Cubun
camp with a Cuban flag floating over it. Tho
Oregon, St. Paul, Dolphin, Marblehead and
Solace (hospital ship) aro hero.
Monday, Juno 20. Arrived off Clcnfuegos.
To-day wo partook of our usual Monday morn
ing exercise, adjourning to a neighboring town.
Port Casalda by namo, where wo dlscovorod
a gunboat and Spanish steamer hovering near
the entranco to tho harbor. We oponed flro.
Tho gunboat was small and cheeky, and It w as
somo tlmo before wo drove her under cover, tha
steamer retiring early in tho engagement.
Nono of tho enemy's shot struck us, and I do
not think wo did much harm beyond drop
ping one or two Bhrapnel right into the fort. It
was not particularly exciting for us, as tho
nearest shot was twenty or thirty yards away
from us. Howover wo had our light, and should
havo been very much disappointed had wo got
through Monday without ono.
Tuosdny, June 21. To-day about 1 P.M.
while steaming slowly west ot Cienfucgos, along
tho coast, wo saw on the shore a band of Cubans
and a Cuban flag. Wo Immediately sont a
whalebont ashore und brought oft their Major,
Captain and Lieutenant. They confirm tho
news wo had from the fleot as to our sinking,
last week, tho gunboat that came out to attack
us, killing thrco men and wounding soven.
They toll us that Immediately sho reached
the dock in tho river sho sank, having
been tlrst burnod to tho wator lino.
Tha Cuban leador Is a graduato ot the Univer
sity ot Pennsylvania. Thoy all wear rawhide
boots, their bolts aro made out ot raw leather
with tho fur still on it, and they wear any kind
of clothes. They say they havo fought night
and duy for threo years without ceasing and
a!io that tho Spaniards always kill their prison
ers. What they need most is ammunition. Tho
Marblehead landed 27,000 rounds tho othor
day, but It is nearly all used up. They all ha 0
tho machoto and most of thorn havo Spanish
rlflos and revoh ors. Tho namo of tholr loader,
who Is also Governor ot Matanzos, Is Col. E. V.
Zcuuerla.
Wednesday. Juno 22. To-day wo tried our
bcht to get up Casilda harbor, sending u small
whalcboat ahead of us to mark out tho channel
with buojs; but this wholo coast round horo
is so full ot coral reefs Casilda seoms to bo par
ticularly favored with them that oursUppor
decided It would not bo sato to tako a great un
wieldy thing lll.o the Yankeo up to the town.
Komotlmes tho mon Iu the boat would strike
threo fathoms nnd within u urd thoy would
strike twenty fathoms of water.
Thursday, Juno 23, Still knocking around
between Clonfuegos and Casilda. Wo keep v ery
close In to tho shore, We are all vorynnxlous
to get to somo port where we can get somo
fre.ili provisions. Bait pork and hardtack bo
como wiincii hat monotonous, and our mess has
scurcelyaio thing loft ot tho private stock wo
laid In nt Tompklnsvlllo. Btlll I supposo theso
aro a few of tlio tilings wo have to put up with
during war times and part of tho price ot ad
mission for our fun at Clonfuegos and Santiago.
Prlduy, June 24, oft Trinidad do Cuba. While
skirting tho coast this afternoon wo discovered
a Cuban flag. Wo at once sent off a whalebont
and brought oft a Lieutenant in tho Cuban
Army, who gave us a great deal ot information
relath 0 to tho movements ot tho Spanish troops
and their condition, Wo sent him ashore about
4 P, M., giving him provisions and somo to
bacco At dusk we arrlvod off tho coast of tho
Isle ot Pines.
Saturday, June 25. Here wa discovered
about nj-A several t. mall schooners. Wo fired
a blank shot across their bows, but Its they
paid no attention to thoso wo sent them a solid
ono, to whloh they promptly replied by hoisting
tho Spanish flag and getting oloso to the shore
whoro wo could not follow them, although wo
could have sunk thorn had our sklppor
been so inclined. In tho afternoon wo
sect two whaleboats with marines heav
ily nrmad, nnd also, mounted on ono
of tho boats, ono of tho Colt rapid
flro guns capable of firing 400 shots a mlnuto.
Had our boats mot with any opposition thoy
would have mado it warm for tho Spaniards.
Thoro was no opposition, and tho prizes ar
rived alongsido about C P. M., and wero found
to contain principally fish. Wo brought somo
ot the fish aboard and had thorn fordlnnor.
Tho sohoonors thomsolves were burnod. Wo
captured two unfortunate Spaniards on board,
but llborated them in tho evonlng.
Sunday, June 20. We nro now on our way to
Hoy West to coal up nnd got stores. We hopo
that whon wo got to Koy West we shall wosto
no moro time, but go straight baek to thosccno
of ootlon again. Tho only compensation wo
have for the grub and washing ot clothes is
potting at the Spaniards, and wo should dearly
lovo to go and take another whack at tho bat
teries at Clonfuegos. They cortalnly have muoh
bettor guns and thoy aro muoh better mannod
than at Santiago.
Monday, June 27. Onco again in sight of the
Unitod States, anticipating with much joy many
glasses ot bocrand many pounds of good boot.
Arrived at Key West at 12:30 this morning.

Gen. Otis Asks Washington for Power to
Impress Steamers.
San Francisco. July 3. Tho steamer Pennsyl
vania arrived to-day from Philadelphia, having
mado tho voyage In eighty-five days. Slio will
bo turned ovor to tho Govemmont as a trans
port for Manila. She will nood to bo refitted
as a troopship : it Is estimated that bIio can carry
1.000 men. Tho noxt addition to the trans
ports will probably bo tho big oolllor Titanla.
The inspectors who examined hor are favora
bly Impressod with hor. The Titanla has beon
engaged carrying coal from Nannlmo to this
port She is ths largost cool carrier over soon
hero. As a transport ship she could carry
4.800 tons of coal In the lowor hold. Besides
this sho could carry horses and cattlo and still
havo room for 1,000 mon.
Tho Governmont finds Itself hard pressed for
transports. Only two voasols are prepared for
a vo ago to Manila. Those aro City of Pucbla
and Peru. Tho Acapuleo is still In doubt, and
the Puclflo Mull Company has given orders for
loading It on Tuesday. They say sho should
not bo impressed, as they havo already given
throo stoamers to the Government and had ouo
impressod.
Tho Bteamer Centennial will probably bo ac
cepted by tho Government, as It w us shown
clearly that the chargos against her seaw orthl
noss are unfounded. The Centennial, after her
rejection by tho Government, was surv oyed by
three reputable surveyors, and the report of
each was favorable The lost man to Inspect
hor was Capt John Motcalf. Lloyd's surveyor,
and a report from him is ono that commands
attention world over. Tho roports wore sont on
to Washington. Permission was asked this
week to impress stenmors. and If this Is granted,
seiturcs will bo made In such haste as to spread
consternation among shipowners.
Tho cruiser Philadelphia will convoy the
fourth. oxpedltion. Sho will be ready to go into
commission on Friday. It is admitted at Gen.
Otls's headquarters that he is impatlout over
tho delay in getting a sufficient number of
transports, and he has requested tho authori
ties to give him rowerto impress all the steam
ers he may neod. At least fourteen ossols will
bo required to sond the remainder of the Phil
ippine forco across tho Pacific. If ho secures
impressment powers, Otis may sclzo every
steamer on tho coast that is available for tho
purpose.
