seconds, when there was a volley from both sides came over our heads and you bet it did not take long to knock the sleep out of our eyes.

We started again on the march and

got to the battlefield at 2 o‘clock on the morning of July 5.5. The sight we niet coming on the road was enough to weaken the strongest heart. All the dead and dying lay on all sides--Ame- ricans. Spaniards. Cuban; and :he rivers omitted a sickening When wegot near the iring line we were halted to report io General Shatter. All sbellfexploded and killed one man and two horses and shattered the butt end of my gun. The man killed did not belong to our regiment. A guide was furnished to take us to position on the tiring line He got lost and we found ourselves between our own lines and the Spanish lines. We were between two tires. it was God that saved us. As soonras the Spaniards saw us they poured a tire right down on us as we got into the trenches. We had a little protection, and were there until July 4 without a bit of food. We had plenty of shot and shell and were obliged to drink water that the deid lay in. Saturday, July 2. the Spaniards made a chargelon ns. We were ordered not to tire a shot until they were within a hundred yards. Un they came like a lot of lions, but they went back very quiet.

On coming up to the firing line we

had to cross four rivers, and were wet up to our necks. We had to wear the wet clothes for three weeks before we got our other clothes. It rains every day. \\'e have had no shelter only the ' sky and the wet grass has been our beds \Ve have suffered more than any regi- ment in the 6eld for want of food and shelter, and We are now paying for it. All the regiment is sick and a few are invery bad shape. Our dog~tents are no good. The rain pours through them and they are like pig pens. Lieutenant- Colonel Logan is gone and the boys are sorry for him He stuck to the regiment through the thickest of the firing. He is a diierent man to what I thought he was. He walked the rivers where the water came up to his neck and lay in those wet clothes for three days and three nights without ,shelter and without

the boys are very bad. and two have died, We were lucky during the battle. N o one was killed and only 14 were in- jured.

I expect we will get out oi. here in a

abort time. This is a rich country ,i there was any one to work it. It is ter- ribly warm, and the thermometer runs as high as 130. You would travel a whole day and not see ahouse. Santiago is the dirtiest place I ever saw. We are encamped about half a mile outside of the city. It is a beautiful country, but it is not taken care of. The Cubans are a dirty, lazy class,and the Spaniards are gentlemen compared with them. They use us Iirst rate. The Cubais rob every opportunity they get. Very truly yours,

CORPORAL J. HAGGERTY, Company B. Ninth Regiment.

Representative Hugh W. Bresraban

of Ward 13 has received several inter- esting letters from South Boston boys at the front. He has the following letter from Chief Musician Janie; E. Sullivan of the Ninth Massachusetts: , In the hills of Santiago, Just out of llle Trenches, July 26.--Friend Hugh, ` --I received your letter today in camp, I It was forwarded to Santiago. I do not think we will be here long enough for yon to write another letter to me. You . know more about everything down here than we do.

All of the boys have been sick with

mountain fever, but they are all well now. We have seen some warm times down here, but I have had great luck.

We lauded in Siboney July 1, at in

-city and 8,000 on their twayito rein-

On our night march we were stopped

by mule trains on a road that was only wide enough for one. Fifteen six-inule teams filed with wounded weie coming from the front. The other tiain yas an ammunition train. The trains could not pass each other, and it delayed us about three hours. It probably saved a good many of the Ninth Regiment. We were in a aight attack where 700 ' Spaniards were killed. I don’t think we will be kept in-meservice over six months, and when I get back we will: raise the roof off one house in Dorches- tel.

Mrs Garrity of Roxbury has received

a letter from her son, Pnvate George M. Garrity of Company ti. Seventh United States Infantry. In the letter he says:

“I am all right now, but was laid up

a fear days after that battle we had on the lst of July. I suppose youhave read all about it by thislinie.

“It was a terrible fight. After

marching all night with wet clothes and nothing' to eat but °‘hardtack,” we arrived at ElCaney at 8 o‘clock in the morning, all played out. We were expecting nothing when suddenly we were tired upon from all sides of us n the forests. and men were dropping

all around us. .

°-\Vc were then ordered into line of

battle, and never stopped firing until 5 o`clcck that night, when the Spaniards left [their bfookhouses and retreated down to Santiago. We lost seven kill- ed and 14 wounded in our company. I came out without a scratch.

“The Cubans are dying all around

us. I saw a woman and child dying on the road near where we were encamp. ed. Teey live on maiigoes and berries that grow wild around here. and come into our camp with manstoes to ex- change them lfor hardtaek, ' but we haventt got enough for ourselves. They have got enough food, but it is at the landing place. 20 miles from here. The roads are rough. and the mules are all sick. and we have to send down squads to bring up the food.

~°Sa`ntiago has surrendered. We

were ordered into our trenches onthe 12th, the day they were to surrender or iight. We stood in the trenches _in the rain, up to our knees in water, _when a

force them under General Ifando, the butcher. .

“We were all happy. We were

worn out from digging ‘trenches and doing guard duty in the rain, and not knowing what minute we would be picked of a sharpshooter. They picked off a lot of our fellows. You

Another trick they played was when a. doctor was fixing a wounded man one of the sharpshooters would fire at him.

“The soldiers are all getting sick. IL

is not _vellbw fever, but some other kind of a disease. You get the cramps ,and a dizzy' feeling. \Ve have no tobacco, or, in fact. anything. I heard one man oHer $15 for a pound of tobacco.”
