Where Soldiers Were Mowed
Down Like Grass.
EVEN THEWOUNDEDSHOT
Arrival or the Ottvetteat Olil Polut With
Sick mid Wounded. Drunken
boldlern at Uavkroe.
Oilier Item*.
A young- soldier sat on the dock at
Old Point yesterday morning and mod?
estly related some of the tragic scenes
which he witnessed in the desperate
fighting around San Juan. He went
out with the Seventy-first New York,
whieli won an immortal name in the
first day's fighting on Cuban soil, and
was one of those who felt the sharp
sting of a Mauser bullet. He was shot
in the abdomen at a place named by
his comrades the Chopping Block be?
cause there the Spanish titles mowed
the men down as a scythe lays low the
grass into which it is thrust. The Sev?
enty-first had been on the held since 5
o'clock in the morning,.and during that
time they had been without food, with
the exception of a small supply of hard
tack carried in their haversacks.
It was at the summit of a steep and
rugged hill, up which they had driven
the Spanish after hours of hard work,
that they suffered their greatest loss.
The ascent had been attended by diffi?
culties which seemed insurmountable
at first. From the branches of trees
on every side sharpshooters picked off
the officers, while an almost Incessant
fire from the Mauser rifles was rained
down on them from above. In many
places it became necessary for them to
seize the tangled undergmth and
draw themselves up the still'hillside.
Thus they were unable, until they
reached the same place at the top
which tfiey now call the Chopping
Block, to return the galling fire of the
retiring enemy. It was a slow march
In the face of death and well did the
Seventy-first know it. But not a man
flinched,
(nice at the summit they raised a
cheer whose echoes were heard far ami
near in the Cuban forest. It told of
victory and men in other parts of the
field caught it up and sent it back to
the bloody Chopping Block. But the
work of death had only begun.- Dog?
gedly the Spanish soldiers retreated
down the other side of the hill, but all
the while fighting like desperadoes.
Three hundred yards below the summit
they stopped and poured into the ranks
of the Seventy-first volley after volley
of lead. The air was filled with the
hissing of Mauser bullets and scores of
the brave New Yorkers went down,
many of them never to rise again. The
wounded, as they tried to crawl be?
yond reach of the screeching missiles
of death, were killed by the ambushed
sharpshooters. The aim of the Span?
iards was far more deadly than it had
been when the American troops were
making the ascent. But In the face of
this fatal fire the Seventy-first pressed
on, slowly forcing the enemy back until
Santiago was In sight. San Juan hill
had been won and the the Chopping
Block had been passed, but at a fright?
ful sacrifice of blood.
The young man who related the story
fell in the afternoon and lay helpless
until night under the burning rays of
the sun. In the evening ho was found
and the following day carried 1$ miles
to" the hospital at Sebaney.
A I'AY DAY DliDNK.
Intoxicated Soldiers Invade Buekroe
Beach.
About 200 intoxicated soldiers, nearly
all of wjtom were members of the
Maryland*, "volunteer infantry at Fort
Monroe, created an ugly distui banco at
Buekroe Beach Thursday night. Many
ladies from this city and- N&wport
News were at the Beach at half-past
0 o'clock, at which hour the volunteers
began to arrive, but by 10 the majority
of them had gone.
The volunteers behaved in a most
disgraceful', manner. They had been
paid off Jilting the day, and as Tiight
drew on they left the camp and set out
for Phoebus, where they soon began to
mix beer with forty-rod rum. The
result was that in an hour's time they
were in a condition of hilarious intox?
ication which alarmed every one with
whim they came in contact. Fortu?
nately, they had no guns. About half
past 9 o'clock they decided to go to
Buekroe Beach, where a number of la?
dles, gentlemen and children- were
quietly passing away the evening. Be?
fore starting several of them purchased
jars of jam. with which they amused
themselves by throwing it upon the
clothing of men and women on the car.
The passengers dared not resent their
impudence, being glad enough to es?
cape witli sound heads and whole hides.
Upon reaching the hotel the volun?
teers made a rush for the pavilion and
indicated their purpose to take charge.
But Manager Hewing was too quick for
them. Before they could arrange their
plans he had.a messenger on the way
to the Pines Battery and twenty min?
utes later Lieutenant Whiting arrived
at the head of an armed squad and
drove, the intrudf^e^a.way.
NO LICENSE FOB BARTON.
Sand Hills No Place for a Saloon, Says
Judge Le,e.
Judge Lee yesterday refused to grant
to Mr. J. M. Barton, of Newport News,
a license to conduct an ordinary at
Sand Hills, a place near the Buekroe
Beach Hotel, assigning as a reason thai
the locality is not a j.roper one for the
sale of liquor. On Thursday Judge Let
spent two or three hours ^looking over
the ground for the purpose of ascer?
taining the proximity of Sand Hills to
the college of the Xaverian Brothers on
the opposite shore of Mill Cre'ek and
other places on that beach. Buekroe
Beach, is but little more than a quarlei
of a mile from .the Hills, while between
the Hills and the hotel is the col?
ored resort known as Bayside, opened
this year.
On the second day of the hearing Mr.
Barton allowed his temper to get. the
better of him and Ian for the fact that
Mr. F. S. Collier 1? an officer of- the
commonwealth he would have had
trouble. Mr. Barton was on the wit?
ness stand and Mr. Collier asked him.
among other things, a question own
cerning the manner in which married
men should conduct themselves. The
theatrical manager rose from his chair
and said: - .
"Your honor, if I wasn't In court I'd
kick this man out of the house."
Mr. Collier coolly replied:
"Mr. Barton, I am not always }n
court."
The tilt created considerable excite?
ment for a time.

ARRIVAL OF THE OLIVETTE.
Two Hundred and Eighty Sick and
Wounded Aboard.
The hospital ship Olivette arrived at
Fort Monroe yesterday afternoon at 1
o'clock from Siboney, Cuba, witli 220
wounded and 40 sick soldiers aboard.
She cast anchor a. short distance from
the dock and was immediately boarded
by Dr. Pettus. of the United States Ma?
rine Hospital Service'. It was 2 o'clock
before the doctor left the Olivetti'.
To the correspondent <> the Dally
Press, who saw him when lie returned
to the dock, he said that 220 of the men
on board were wounded, and that the
others were sick.
"Will the men be taken oft here, doc?
tor?" was asked.
"No, sir. not If I can possibly pn-venr
It." was the prompt and emphatic re?
ply. The probability is that the hospit?
al facilities nr.- not yet equal to the
task of caring for them. It Is certain
that so large a number, in addition to
those already at Fort Monroe, could
not be accommodated. Dr. Pettus did
not. however, give this as a reason for
objecting to the landing of the men.
i 11.- is not in charge of tin- army hos?
pitals at the fort, that duly having
been assigned tii Major DeWitt. Ah
marine hospital surgeon Dr. Pettus
looks after ships having contagious
diseases on board. Rut this must not
be construed as meaning that the OU
' vettc is infected with any dangerous j
malady.
There wore twelve officers on the ship
and one Cuban, who was wounded.
Among the wounded officers are Gen?
eral Haskins, Major Brody, Major
Belle, ;wajor McClintock, Captain
Knox and Lieutenants Devcreaux.
Niehol, Fiscus and Rogers.
The Solace Is expected to arrive In
Hampton Roads sometime today, pron
ably early this morning.
The Seneca is expected to get In
about Monday. Both ships carry sick
and wounded.
The Olivette sailed at 5:20 last even?
ing for New York.

NEWS FROM SH AFTER.
WASHINGTON, July in.? The follow?
ing bulletin has been posted at the
War Department from General Shat?
ter:
Headquarters at Santiago, via Playa
del Este, July 15, 1S9S.
Adjutant General. Washington:
Sent several telegrams yesterday as
did General Miles In regard to the sur?
render. General Tora! agreed yesterday
positively to surrender all the forces
under his command In eastern Cubn,
upon the distinct understanding that
they were to be sent to Spain by the
United States: that this surrender was
authorized by General Blanco, and that
its submission tomorrow was merelv
formal. Commissioners to arrange de?
tail* were appointed?Wheeler. Lavvton
and Milev on the part of the Un[fe,i
States. Points were immediately raia> d
by the Spanish commissioners. The
discussion lasted until 10 o'clock last
night. My commissioners think the
matter will be settled today: they met
at 9 o'clock this morning. There nn>
about 12.000 troops in the city and about
as many more in the surrounding dis?
trict: 25,000 in all will be transported.
General Miles was nresept and said
that the surrender was as absolute and
complete as possible. It cannot be pos?
sible that there will be a failure in
completing the arrangements. Water
famine In the city imminent. Have
supply cut. This was told Lieutenant
M'lev by an English commissioner.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORK. July 15.?The bears
who covered their short contracts In
haste yesterday afternoon on the fall
of Santiago, took stock again today 1
and raided prices down with no one to
say them nay. The hull element re?
frained entirely from offering any sup?
port, and prices of the whole list drop- \
away easily and without any important
interruption. There was an entire ab?
sence of any outside interest, and deal?
ings were very small and confined to 1
a narrow list. The closing was near I
the lowest, with nc: losses In many
cases a point or more.
The recent weakness of the coalers,
also persisted, the offerings of Read?
ing first preferred Indicate some con?
tinued liquidation of long stock. There
is a growing feeling in the stock mar
he; that the succefful termination ot
the war and peace with Spain have
been discounted. The reception,
both of the destruction of Admiral Oer
vern's fleet and the fall or Santiago
point to this conclusion. Wall street
entirely ignored a disposition of Lon?
don to buy American stocks on Toral's
surrender, and the advancing tenden?
cy of Spanish fours on the talk of
peace. The definite assurance that
none hut Individual bids for probably
not more than $5.01? would secure any
portion of the government loan bail no
appreciable effect In the money mar?
ket todav. The New York banks have
lost nearly $4.000.000 to the sub-treasury
during the week on account of the
loan, but there is no pressure for
money from interior points.
