INDIAN YELL
Scared the Spaniards- Additional Inci
dents of the Great Fight.
New York, July 23 —Lieutenant L. H.
Gross, of the Ft. Thomas (Ky.j regiment,
who was among the iwounded brought to
New York on the transport Seneca. says
of the assault on San Juan bill, July i
"It was a terrific hail of shot and spoil,
and the Ft. Thomas regiment .was in the
thickest of it. I was wounded in the left
leg during the charge, and ten of my men
;eil almost at the same iuMaut that I
dropped.
"As we charged our men gave an Indian
y< 11. It frightened the Spaniards and they
-tarted on the run. But they soon recov
ered from ui.e first shock and hailed bul
lets into us—ten shots to our one.
I was near the trench where Lieutenant
Garry Ord, of the Ft. Thomas regiment,
was killed. Whether the man that shot
him was one whom he had ordered spared,
as the papers said, 1 don’t know, but the
Spaniard was on the ground when he fired,
i he bullet struck poor Ord in the mouth
and werr # itjto his brain. He pointed to
the Spaniard, saying: ‘You know what to
do with that fellow, boys.’ Then he drop
ped d< ad. I wouldn’t like to tell you about
what was left of the Spaniard."
As Lieutenant Colonel Egbert, Sixth in
fantry, was carried from the Seneca on a
stretcher, he said: “Thank God. 1 am again
on American soil,” and then dropped his
head back and closed his eyes, as if ex
hausted by the effort. He has a bad wound
in the left lung, but may ultimately re
■ovi. i. Egbert and Gross, with William
Smith, a Ft. Tmomas musician, ,who is
hot in the left side, were taken to the
Bellevue uospital.

TREASURE CHEST.
On the Ulloa Was an Attraction Even in
Face of Death.
New York, July 23. — X disp.i*. n to the
Evening J'. • •..a'' from Cwi'.e, under date
o' July 17tn. rays that di-.cro have examin
ed the hulls and interior of the Spanish
warships sunk by Dewey’s carnage. The
cruiseh Reina Cristina has all of her
woodwork burned out, and charred human
remains were seen in several places. Trie
course of an eight-inch shell is clearly
traced by a line of ruin extending from her
stern to her waist. The cruiser Castilla
was les.; burned, but was terribly wrecked.
I'her are plan traces w!r?re six big shells
tore her hull to pieces. The warship is
now a trass of twisted iron and charred
beams. a CvUijlete wrejk, much like mat
of th? Maine n Havana harbor. Many of
the bodies aboard are badly burned.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not burn.
She sank quickly, riddled to pieces by
shells of all sizes. A number of dead hud
dled together near the ladder leading to the
superstructure shows that the men were
killed by shell as they were attempting to
lift the treasure chest to the superstruct
ure asd save it.
The description of hese ships shows the
.state of the retaining vessels of the sunk
en Spanish squadron. Heaps of bodies near
the ladders leading to the engine rooms
of the ships show that the engineer force
made a rush to escape, but failed.
