Boy Hero, the Son : of a Gallant Veteran. [Copyright, 1S9S, by the Author.] X llKOFF'S bri ide, once it got free swing in the pathway to the front, aroused the hurricane of oat? ie np to the crashing point. If ever soldiers plunged unshak? en through hell fire to close with the enemy, these heroes did. Led by veteran gen? eral and field orn rs, the Ninth, JThirteenth and TPwaaty-fourth pushed their way along the trail blocked with halting volun? teers. First an aid, running full speed and swinging his hat, signaled the col? umn to hurry forward; next a staff officer galloped up with Kent's second message to Wikoff to rush his command io the field. Eager to do something, even at the risk of disobeying orders, part of one battalion of the volunteers, and Rafferty, with F company of an? other battalion, fell into line, anywhere, anywhere, touching elbows with blacks and whites; so long as they could be "in 1she swim." Individual volunteers also "broke loose from the stationary ranks and elbowed to the front among regu? lars. One of these independents was Aus? tin Pardee,-a boy of 17, son of a former officer of the Thirteenth, who had cried to take his fathers place and fight for the flag until his widowed mother yielded. . Fording the creek and giving their burning heads a cooling dip as they passed, the men of the brigade lined up on the bank, leaving Wikoff dead and "Worth lying in his blood, the last and most shining sacrifices to the Moloch of fell's Crossing." In the broad field on the left of Hawkins* two regiments Wikoff's column struck a zone of piti? less fixe, and there the third commander of tho brigade, gray haired Li scum of ^ the Twenty-fourth, went down. Staff ^Officer layman of the Twenty-fourth told irte that his eyes were riveted on the noble leader, whose form could be seen cutting its way through the tall grass with giant strides. Like a flash of lightning he was seen, then disappeared. . In the van of the column the Thir? teenth regiment, led by Colonel Worth as far as "Hell's Crossing, " climbed up tile bank and went through the wire fence, where gaps had already been made. Major Ellis was at its head, but was soon shot down. There was an open field stretching away up to the block? house. This regiment had lost heavily ? at the crossing, particularly by Spanish shrapnel, but moved resistlessly on un? til a galling volley fire compelled it to seek shelter under a bank some hundred yards from the fort. The Ninth regiment, on the left of the Thirteenth, passed the ordeal at the crossing with but little loss. In climb? ing the bank it was struck by a heavy Mauger fire from San Juan heights and from the trees, left, right and in front. Pressing on in line with the Thirteenth, the regiment halted at the bank and de? livered its fire upon the Spaniards in the trenches at the blockhouse. When the Twenty-fourth regiment of blacks appeared in view above the crest of the river bank, the Spaniards ap? parently turned all their fire upon them, hoping, as they said afterward, to de? moralize them and precipitate a panic. The blacks didn't scare, however. Just how long these men halted at the hank is uncertain, for there was no ces? sation of fighting, and lapse of time was Dot noted. It was Krag-Jorgensen against Mauser in the attempt to subdue the Spanish fire for a charge. This stage of the infantry fight was about coinci? dental with the capture of "Kettle" hill by the cavalry, which has already been described, and took place probably between 12:30 and 1 o'clock. Mean? while Grimes' battery, no longer ham? pered by the balloon, was vigorously shelling the blockhouse and trenches, as was also Parkhurst's battery, Second artillery, which had taken position to the left and front cf Grimes, near El Poso. The success of the cavalry in clearing "Kettle" hill, really an ad? vanced position of the Spanish line, had allowed the Hotchkiss guns and Parker's Gatlings to cross San Juan river at the ford of the main road and get to high ground on the southern slope of the hill. Parker's advent upon the scene marked a crisis in the attack. He had three guns with him and opened them all upon the blockhouse which Captain Boughton of the Third cavalry pointed out to him. Grimes and Parkhurst, be it remembered, were pouring in their shells, but the Spanish fire did not abate. Starting with a low rate of speed, Parker gradually turned his guns up to their highest capacity, and in the space of ten minutes, the muzzles of the guns sweeping gradually along the Spanish trenches, sifted 20,000 bullets into the crowded works. Before the enemy real? ized what the horrid hail meant the ominous sound of the machine guns had already terrified them, and they began to leave theil pits, preferring possible death outside to certain slaughter with? in. Then silence fell upon the block? house, upon its loopholed chambers, upon its batteries, upon its trenches fill? ed with men. But all this time neither the cavalry nor the infantry had stood idle waiting for the artillery to do their work. The cavalrymen, who had not been ordered try Sumner to remain on "Kettle" hill, formed lines of troops and battalions and plunged down the slope, across the valley and up the farthest slope toward the Spanish second position. When this movement began, San Juan blockhouse was still belching fire, and part of the Third cavalry, together with the Sixth, tinder Major Lebo, struck out in a di? agonal line for the stubborn fortress. Hawkins' men, nearest the cavalry at ! that time and separated from Wikoff's j regiments by shrubbery and trees and j the elevations of ground between, start ! ed forward, the Sixteenth apparently leading and deflecting somewhat to the left. At the very head of the Sixteenth regiment ran that stalwart negro, whose powerful machete had cut through the half dozen strands of barbed wire with one blow. Freuzied with his hatred of the Spaniards and overjoyed that the American army was at his back, he plunged forward, bowling like a demon. As the line neared the crest an officer of the cavalry warned Parker that he was in danger of shooting bis own men. "Not yet, " said Parker. "The range is too high. I'll stop when they are well up." Someone in Parker's own regi? ment, the Thirteenth, signaled him with a white handkerchief when to stop. Likewise Grimes and Parkhurst, over 2,000 yards in the rear, trained their glasses on the blockhouse, watched the advancing infantry lines, and just in the nick of time ceased firing, for the concussion of one of Grimes' shells, which fell short, stunned and knocked down Captain McFarland of the Six? teenth regiment. The Hotchkiss bat? tery, from the same range as Parker that is, the slope of "Kettle" bill poured 2 inch shell into the blockhouse ever the heads of the charging infantry. The men of the Sixth and Sixteenth aimed for the trenches on the Spanish right and left of the blockhouse, pull? ing themselves up where the ground was abrupt by grasping the thick, strong grass. Under the very crest they were safe from Spanish fire, but at the top they encountered four strand barbed wire fences, which the men of the Six? teenth cut through, using their nippers. The survivors say that the trenches were lined with dead and wounded Spaniards, whom they had killed by Krag-Jorgensen fire, while halted at the embankment farther down the field. They say also that Parker's guns did good work, especially in their moral effect upon the advancing infantry. One of the artillery shells had cut down the Spanish flag, which, the men of the Sixteenth say, was lying on the roof when they passed by the block? house, or through it, for Lieutenant Carey of Company E did pass through. Ten minutes later he saw the Thirteenth men taking the flag from the roof. The men of the Sixteenth say that when they opened fire upon the Spaniards re? treating from the blockhouses and trenches some one cried out, "They're Cubans!" The fire was stopped, for the Spanish uniform and that worn by some Cubans was similar; otherwise more Spaniards could have been captured. When the Spaniards began running, Major Auman of the Thirteenth started ahead shouting: "The Spaniards are running, boys! Forward Thirteenth!" This speech of Auman's, it was declared by officers in the brigade, was a general bracer for them all. Auman was a vet? eran. In the firing line of the Thirteenth was a gallant; boy soldier, the son and namesake of General T. M. Anderson, who is with the army in the Philip? pines. Young Anderson had won his way from the ranks to a lieutenancy. As the line of the Thirteenth started forward for that last spurt Anderson called out to the men nearest him, "Ad? vance rapidly!" and with about a dozen others broke loose from the line and rushed on to the Spanish ditch which lay farthest down the slope. This ditch bad been one of the targets of the Krag Jorgensens of the Thirteenth. Clamber LIECTENANT T. M. ANDERSON, JR. [Leader of a brave handful.] ing up, Anderson and his ?ttle band moved on around the blockhouse to get within range of the retreating Spaniards. As they passed the blockhouse they saw a Spaniard in the door, who quickly vanished, and supposing there were oth? ers also beating retreat, hoped to capture them by going around the fort. At this time some of the Sixth cavalry came up, and one of Anderson's men, Private Agnew of Company H, climbed upon the roof and took the flag down. While the Thirteenth men were showing the flag to the cavalrymen two of Ander? son's band were hit. Anderson says this fire came from Spaniards who were un? der the Re<i Cross flag in some building on the outskirts of Santiago. The Thir? teenth men thought that the captured flag was a Jonah, tore it into bits and distributed the pieces. The gallant Ma? jor Auman was wounded before he reached the blockhouse, and the senior officer on the hill, Captain Fornance, was cut down at the blockhouse with a wound which caused his death next day. The Twenty-fourth regiment was lcd up the hill by Captain Weigant, who took command after Liscuin fell. The charge of this regiment of negroes is lauded by ail who witnessed it. GEORGE L. KILMER.

Our Treaty With Spain. Hon Hannis Taylor, who was minister to Spain daring President Cleveland's administration, has con? tributed the most instructive articles relative to the Spanish situation that were published before or after the war. A year ago, in an article in the North American Review, he lum ? inoosly outlined the situations then existing between this country and Spain and predicted war as the in? evitable result. His predictions were fulfilled almost to the letter, and he has established himself as an authori? ty upon Spanish affairs. lu the December Review, Mr. Taylor publishes an interesting ar? ticle upon the work of our peace commissioners in Paris, and upon the terms of the treaty which it is pro? posed to make with Spain Mr. Taylor does not approve of the de? mands which we have made upon Spain, and thinks the United States are using their powers in a tyranical way and making demands on a weak and helpless nation which ought not to be made. He approves of the proposition to recognize the debt against the Philippines which was contracted by Spain for the better ment of the islands, and contends that every law of right and justice will demand a similar course on our part with reference to Cuba. He recites the fact that the Cubans, themselves, offered to assume $100, 000;000 of indebtedness if granted their independence by ^pain. If so much of the Cuban debt was esteem ed to be a just charge upon the country by the Cubans themselves, Mr Taylor declares that this govern ment should have been equally just in recognizing it. fie says that it is simply an evasion for the United States to say that we do not propose to keep Cuba uuder our control. While our sovereignty over that island at present is qualified, be considers it assured in a few years it will become entire and actual, and that this ?100,000,000 is the charge upon the land which ought lo go with it, whether we keep the island or whether after a few years we turn it over to the Cubans. Mr. Taylor writes earnestly and from the standpoint of a patriotic American who feels an interest in preserving for the future the honor of our government. Persons who are interested in keeping abreast of cur? rent history and of keeping posted on all sides of the Philippine ques tion will be interested in reading the contribution of Hon? Hannis Taylor in the December number of the North American Review. The Ghosts of the "Maine." Probably the most; thrilling expe rieaoa ever met with hy any diver was Charles Morgan's, in the wreck of the battleship Maine at Havana. Mr. Morgan, who commands the guns of the USS. New York, is small and slender, and one of the most interesting men I ever met, very right, very active with brilliant black eyes and a ?kio breezed with southern seas and suns For nearly two weeks he remained under water io the Maine, among the bodies of tbe dead, for seven boors a day-a wonderful reoord of endurance aod nerve considering the fact that four hours are supposed to be a diver's day The waters of Habana harbor are also very deep, and so black that he was obliged to use electric lamp, and theo could ?ee but a foot ahead of bim io the grave gloom of the wrecked vessel. It is best to give the story of bis descent into the dark charnel ship tn bis own dramatic words, as be told ic to me after bis return to Sampson's fleet It is more interesting because this is the first time be bas imparted to aoyooe his experience in the wreck. "It was horrible !" he said. "As I descended into the death ship the dead rose cp to meet me. They floated toward me with outstretched arms, as if to welcome their shipmate. Their faoes were for the most part bloated wiih decay or bumed beyond recogni tion, bu? bere and there the light of my lamp flashed upoo a stony face I knew, which, when I last saw it had smiled a merry greeting, but now returned my gaze with staring eyes and falito jaws. The dead choked the hatchways and blocked my passage from stateroom to cabin. I bad tr? elbow my way thronen them as you do io a crowd While I examioed twisted iron and broken timbers they brushed against my helene' and touched my shoulders as it they sought to tell me a tale of the disaster I often bad to push them aside to make my examina 'loos of the interior of the wreok I felt like a live mao tn command of the dead. From every part of the ship came signs and whispers and groans. I knew it was the gorgliog of tbe water through tbe shattered beam* and bat tered sides of the vessel, but it made me shudder ; it sounded so much like echoes of that awful February night of death Thp water swayed the bodies to and fro, and kept them oonstantiv moving with a hideous semblance nf life Turn which way I wnrjld I wa? confroot"d b' a corps?

TOOTHPICKS. The best toothpicks made anywhere io the world come from Portugal, says the Philadelphia Times. They are whittled by band from orange wood splints by peasant girls, the only tools ?sed being the ordinary jack knife These picks are as smooth as ivory and will not break into splinters They are expensive Ouiy one hotel io Philadelphia supplies them. The girls who make the picks receive less than 10 cents per day. As the duty on the foreign-made picks is only 35 per cent,, choy can be sold here for less than pick9 of similar quality could be manufactured io this coontry, despite the improved American .machinery and skilled labor The profit on American picks is almost ex? clusively on the cheaper product?. Some of the Portuguese picks are highly ornamented with band carving. They are too expensive for ordinary com? merce Small quantities have been im? ported into this country on rare occa? sions for use at notable banquets or as uoiqae specimens of baodioraft. A BIG WEDDING DINNER. Simon G-ogeoheim, a Colorado mil? lionaire, who got married in New York the other day, celebrated the event in good style. He telegraphed a revereod friend to provide a thanksgiving dinner for the poor of Denver who could not provide a good dinner for themselves, and the friend provided a jam up layout for 6 OOO people, who enjoyed Mr Gagenheim's hospitality. Hospital for the Insane. The board of regents of the hospital for the insane met io Columbia on Thursday. Mr. A White of this is a member of the board, and bas been for many years, and was in attendance. The Record says : Regular routine business wa9 trans acted and work was begun on (be annual report.
