It Is suspected k-re that the eordltlons named "annexation to the United Slates of Cuba mwl rellnqulsb men to Snafu of the Philippines," represent what may be now looked no on ne the maximum concessions Spain is willing' to make. From this point of view, the statement is not Uiaeournv ing. though It must be realised that the Spafll.'i mnxlmum Is fnr below the Am orlcnn minimum. Still there must he some starting point for negotiations that will. In the end, lend up to peace and therefore public attention on these various •‘fe"lers” Is not deprecated by our government, though, so far.

On that day we set the ball rolling. The battle be gan at 5:16 a m.. and lasted until 8 p m . and then 1 mas put out c*n picket duty until 4 the next morning- Break fast waa aerved and we were again ordered lo do ibe firing. The soeond da;: the fliing was something awful. The way the shits fill made hair Mick un. 1 never saw rain drops fall faster ibau did the bullets that day. The Spaniards were up on top cf a hill nnd had trenches and blockhouse* to protect themselves. There were eight inrhes of crushed stones In between the plan's* of th» blockhouses, and they hud a number of rup d-flre gun* mount ed on the hill, and they poured a terri ble fire into us. We had to chr.rge up that hill against the Spaniards with the Infantry, and you ran Imagine what we had lo do. The shells went whist ling through the nir and men were fall ing on all sloes of me, but I kept my n ;v" up. My captain told me to fol low tbe colors, and I did so. Ii was oi l because 1 wanted to. for it had got ;too hot. for me, but I said to myself ihtU if 1 was to he shol I would be any way, and so I went ahead. I did not lose courage, although I thought It about time we all lust courage the way Ihe shells wpre striking our men right and left and we had not gained an inch and the Spanish were holding 'tffiir !cwn. One of our commanding officers I told us we must charge up the hill sn3 drive them cut. After four r.'Tmpts w" reached Ihe top of the hill. \Yhen : we got lhere the Spanish wore .p.led four and five deep in the trenches. Tho ! Spanish fled and we remained />r tho 'night where ’hey had been. We eap i lured forty-eight prisoners. The mm | puny was detailed to take the prlson- I I rs back to Siboney, and we did not 'get (here until July 4. There lias .been ■no fighting since. I stWi on the firing I line when Lieut.
