With us now, in spite of mi'd and ra'.n. the war went merrily on. It was a sort of process of ntrition by which we hoped in time to wear the insurgent Kinds down to nothing. Our losses were rot great, and every rllle captured from the enemy lessened his power just so much, for whi'o men could be gathered up from the fields and forced to fight, the weapons lost to us could rot be replaced.

On Aug. 1 IJeut. F. W. Alstaetter, corps of engineers, while making an examination of the road between San Miguel and San Isidro. was overwhelmed by Licuna. Alstaetter had three enlisted men of his own corps nd an escort of 11 men of the Fourth cavalry. Outnumbered more than 20 to 1, he put up a long, hard tight, purrenderlng after his last cartridge was gone, having suffered a loss of one man killed and three wounded, lacuna, with the humanity that usually distinguished him in dealing with captured Americans, sent the dead man and three wounded into San Isidro, carrying the others as prisoners Into the mountains. Within a couple of weeks tho enlisted men were released, but he still held the ofTlcer. It was only a short time, however, until the opportunity prevented itself to bring about his relea ve. A concerted movement of tho garrison of half a dozen towns was made with the object of clearing of irp irgents the Hat country between the mountains and the Candab.i swamp. The operation was ureatly interfered with by bottomless mud and swollen rivers, but sortie jood little tights were had, nevertheless. In one of these I.ie;u.-CVl. Manuel Yentus, one of Lacuna's subordinates, was wounded and captured, being placed in our hospital for treatment. As soon as he was near recovery I wrote Lacuna stating that while 1 could not arrange an exchange of prisoners witi. him. I promised to rel.a-e Yentus if lie would do tile same with Alstaetter. A few days later the hitter was eM orted to our outposts by a couple of insurgents and Yentus was released at the same time, but was allowed to remain in the: h' -j'ltal until his recoverv.

Ten dar ter I started out just after dark with the same two organizations. We plodded along through the sodden fields, keeping off all trails and roads, and just after daybreak were about 15 miles southeast of San Isidro. when the man on point reported that we were approaching a small group of houses. These little isolated hamlets were always apt to yield something during the rainy season, when the insurgents, like ourselves, were not averse to sleeping under cover.

We trotted quietly into this one, when Gantzhorn, of the scouts, who was in the lead, was fired at from the window of a small nipa shack at a distance of not more than six fee, but was not hit. Oantzhorn had hU revolver in hand, and reti;rned the tire, hitting in the n'ek the man who had shot at him, killing him almost Instantly. In an instant men began to run from the houses, some of them stopping to tire, but the most of them thinking ojly of gaining the brush. Ono man. who from his appearance we knew to be an ofllcer, dashed down the bank of a ravine and through water up to his waist, while Gantzhorn ind I emptied our revolvers at him. The former then plunged his horse over the bank of the ravine, fully 15 feet, but I had not the nerve to do it. The fleeing man was none other than the long-sought Licuna himself, and months later he told me that it was the closest call he ever had. Once into the jungle, he was safe, and escaped. He had been spending the night here accompanied by a small escort. In the house that he had fled from we captured much of his correspond-

HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y.. June 24. Twice Tuesday and for the first time, the Curtiss Hying boat America demonstrated in glorious soaring, that despite her huge bulk and cumbersome body she could travel through the air like a swallow. Eastward over the glassy surface of Lake Keuka and high over the purple vineyards of Pleasant valley she swung like a happy living thing until she lost herself in the skies of the late afternoon. And then, back to the water she slid like a messenger from

above on the broad range.

Glenn Curtiss, who despite his promse to eschew flying. piloted the

America on her premier trip over the

ake, declared that she exceeded all

his expectations. A few minor short

comings yes but she was wonderful

under the circumstances, made as dif

ficult as possible.

"Ripping, oy Jove. ripping." he

cried as he clambored from the tiny

cabin after the piloting of the Amer

ica on her second flight. "Finest ma

chine I ever handled. She is as

steady as a blooming rock. We had

tons of horsepower and she insisted

cn planing, rising, understand all the

time. It was all I could do to keep

her down. Fly across the ocean? My

friend, she'd keep on over all furope."

tarried Sand llas. Clinging to the superstructure of

the America were Jimmy Lamont and George Robinson, mechanicians in the Curtiss factory. The America in lieu

of one ton of gasoline with which she

will be ballasted when she sets forth from New Foundland next month. carried in her body several bag? of sand. Four minutes after she had been started, she arose from the lake. Gone was all the sluggishness and awkward slugging. he soared to a height of fifteen feet and making no less than Z0 miles an hour she rushed toward the bluff like a feather before a hurricane. .he turned like a hawk and amazed the crowds by reversing her direction in les than lOo yards. Then with the ease of a lark she flew skyward until tho fast fading daylight showed between her rounded bottom and the close cropped knoll of Paradise hill. Slowly she descended at the base of Bluff point, where Robinson and Larnont left her for the newspaper motor boat. Then back again to her moorings. The second and most brilliant flight started just before sunset and ended while evening was folding Lake Keuka in a purple mist. Porte was at the wheel and Ilallet and Lamont were at his side. Skims Down tho Lake. The America arose a few seconds after she had been skimming down the lake. Her engines were roaring like a distant battle. She skipped over the surface for two hundred yards and then with majestic ease, soared twenty feet in the air directly above the heads of the charmed group In the newspaper motor boat. Far on the outside of the America learned Lamont waving the stars and stripes and shouting that the Azores were straight ahead. The lanky mechanician takes the whole prospect as a huge joke. He declines to consider possible failure or positive danger. Over Paradise hill, down the lovely Urbana valley and a ride to Bluff point, mounting, mounting, always, the America Hew like a dart. Sao swung- as if on wires. She swooped so near the lake as to send a shudder through her watchers. At 55 miles an hour she ascended into the skies until she was fifty feet above the hilltops and sharply silhouetted against the sky. Straight ns Arrow. Without taking the trouble to volplane or to return by great easy dips. Forte started the America back on a straight line from his little niche in cloudland. As straight as an arrow and down a great incline the America began to come home. She slid through the air like a falling star and hehind her, like worshiping Valkyries the flotilla of little flying boats, which had conveyed her through her trials, came hurtling like sparks from the comet's tail.

"Without her hydro-planing board, the plane which helps her crest the water and which elevates her to air and despite several minor defeats." said Curtiss, "she behaved like a wonder. It w-ill be necessary to adjust the throttle so that we can better regulate the speed. he made 63 miles at one time and we had trouble in throttling her. That will be easy to remedy. Also we shall change the cabin slightly, although we were able to see quite easily from the windows. The hydro-planing board will aloo add to the planing surface and hehp sustain the America, We found that despite considerable variation in the speeds of the engines she was easy to keep in her course. We used full power only to start her. She will be ready tomorrow for a test which will set aside all doubt as to her ability."
