brush, and yellins: like made, charge lor the Spanish trenches. The next moment vas certainly the most intense in tho lives of us serving the pruns. A slipht mistako miyht lend a shell among our own people. I kept repeatlng', "Keep cool! Keep cool!" I simply shook with excitement. Our shell.-?, plunging at the rate of threo a minute from each gun into tho trenches, ;cro demoralizing the defenders to such an extent that they could do but little firing, but from a

trench on its right the attacking regi

The door swung open and tho haggard and wasted men, barely able to stand, threw down their arms, while their officers looked on In helpless astonishment. Rut they accepted the inevitable. I was so hungry that I had pretty nearly lost all regard for the proprieties, and made a quick run for the kitchen, a Spanish eoldier showing me where the officers' provisions were kept. The first thing I found was some sausages in cans, and cutting one of these open by one blow of my machete, began to get at the contents In the most primitive way imaginable. I saw two Spanish officers looking at me with disgust plainly evident on their features. During the night the insurgents had swarmed into the houses, had opened tire on the two blockhouses occupied by the the local detachment of guerilla The defenders knew that it was oi. a question of time until tho deadly dynamite gun from the shelter of nearby houses would blow their flimsy blockhouses to bits. They were in a terrible position, as they could not expect the quarter given the Spanish regulars. Their captain cam out to ask what trms would be given them. Tho laconic reply was, "The same that you have given tho helpless wounded in our hospitals." It was merely a choice of the form of death, so they marched out, threw down their arms, and to their credit met their fate with courage. They were cut down with the machete. It was a shocking spectacle, but it was retributive Justice if there is such a

thing, for these men, half Spanish,

chapter.

NEW YORK. June 9. Tumbling 1,000 feet in an unmanageable biplane and being grilled over flames which started as it neartd the ground Knox Morton, a young medical student from Raltimore, Mil., escaped with minor burns and slight bruises in a flight at Hempstead Plains. Morton went aloft in a heavy wind and when he had reached a height of about 1.( 00 feet a strong gust threw his machine over to one side. To rUht himself Morton Jointed the steering wheel over so suddenly that the wire entering the tail snapped, letting the tail Hop. Unbalanced, the machine tilted forward and dropped down. The fall was broken several times when the planes caught the wind and righted the craft. When nearly back to earth the machine plunged down, crashing against the ground and then Jolting against a tree. Morton remained strapped in the biplane when the machine first struck. When the wheels hit the tree the straps were broken, hurling him into the branches, where he hung suspended in a dazed condition. With the engine still going the biplane thrashed around at tho foot of the tree. The feed pipe was broken and tho gasoline set on fire. In a few seconds the flames had caught the planes sending sparks and smoke up into the branches from which Morton was hanging. Men who were passing in automobiles were first to reach the semiconscious man and rescue him from the flames. Thefcv lowered him to the ground and revived him. He had painful wounds on his face and hands and his clothing had caught tire. After being treated by a doctor he went back to his room. The machine was a twisted wreck.

The men began to bunch up and lie clow lilt looked as if the gallant attack must fail, and that it was only a question of drawing out those who could bm saved from the wreck, when Mcnocal and two other officers of tho istaff mounted their horses and at a dead run rode into the charge, actually coming within thirty or forty yards of the trenches before their horses all went down killed and Menocal had his leg shattered. Rut tho other two otlicers. with Col. Garcia and those of tho regiment, rose to their feet and, with cries of "Al machete", rushed into the barb wire. The men followed their lead, and with their machetes began to hack frantically at the wires, and in a few moments had cut their way through. We h:i,l continue. 1 our artillery tiro until tins time, but now were glad to cease. Thi Spaniards took advantage of tho opportunity to escape while the Cubans were getting through the entanglement.-, and under cover of tho ruir.s of the building reached the town, and were distributed among the other defences. They had left behind a very considerable number of killed and wounded. More or b ss desultory firing nowfollowed, the Cubans having loopholed a numl'r of the houses to facilitate th ir operations against those of the Spanish works that had not yet been taken. The whole force, of insurgents, with the exception of those men itationed to escape on the north, were

now in the town In tr.e shelter or tnej houses. The work left was the cap-j ture, from the interior of the town! instead of from its outside, of thei stone barracks and Tvleu-mph Fort. The troncest work was the Cuartel de la Infanteria. Its masonry walNl were three feet thick, loop-holed, and, defended by two hundred men.
