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 Remarkable Rescue.
