The Spanish Soldiers Surprised*
Tbe “Rough Riders/' composed of
cowboys of tbe West and dandies from
New York clubs and tyli rooms, sur
prised the Spanish soldiers. Richard
Harding Davis, in his letter to tbe
Philadelphia Ledger, giving an ac
count of the battle between the" Rough
Riders” and the Spaniards on tbe
road to Santiago, quotes a Spanish
prisoner as saying of tbe “Rough Rids
era" They did not fight as other
soldiers. When we fired a volley they
advanced instead of going back. The
more we fired the nearer they came to
us. We are not used to fighting with
men who act so.”
It is not to be wondered {at that the
Spanish soldiers were surprised, and
that they skedaddled.
What the "Rough Riders’’did shows
that they are not ordinary soldiers.
There were only about 500 of them.
They were on a narrow trail and were
attacked by fully 2,000 Spaniards, who
were in ambush. They not only stood
their ground, but they steadily ad
vanced, and finally, after two hours*
hard fighting, routed the Spaniards
and drove them from the field.
If they bad retreated when they
found that they were being attacked
by a large force in ambush, they w*ould
have done just what ordinary, well
trained troops would have dons —in
fact, they would have done what pru
dence dictated. But they are not
ordinary soldiers, as they have shown,
and as they will show again when the
opportunity presents itself.
It was repeatedly said when they
were enlisted that they would not
submit to discipline, and that in ba'«
tie they would not obey their officers,
but that each one of them would
fight in accordance with bis own
notions. They surprised their critics
as well aa the Spaniards, because,
according to Mr. Davis' account, they
observed perfect discipline and acted
with coolness and intelligence. Such
soldiers are invincible. Tbe example
of the “Rough Riders” will inspire the
whole army to deeds of daring. There
are more surprises in store for the
Spaniards.—Savannah News
