able soldier. Ho personally rcconnoitered
all tho region uround HI Canoy
before submitting tbo plan which Lawton
adopted without change. Of courso
it was supposed that tho artilkry liro
would speedily reuder tho fort, the
blockhouses, the church and other
buildings practically useless for defense,
and tbut a short light between tbo infantry
would end tbo battle. Hut there
were only four guns at hand, and while
?L -A xl *
mintj wtiru 01 rno very tiost and wero
splendidly nerved, under tlio personal
direction of Lieutenants \V. II. Kouly
and Aileron Hamilton, they wero not
ablo at tho range which their smoking
powder compelled them to take to smash
things for Chaffeo in the required time.
Every discharge of tho guns was followed
by showers of Mauser bullets,
flying wild, of courso, hut tho result
showed that tho battery would have
been silenced by Mauser tiro nlono had
it attempted to do its work at short
range. Iu tho old stylo of lighting,
where both sides used smoking powder
and short range rifles, infantry were
counted upon to keep down infantry
firo and givo tho artillery a chance. At
tho old artillery range of 500 yards
Caprou could hnvo simv-bed tho stono
fort and blockhouses in short order.
A vcteruh who commanded n xogirncnt
at El Caney told mo that the Spanish
position there was an ideal one;
that ono Spaniard was equal to four
Ainerieuus in tho charging lino. Tho
village of El Caney itself is a compact
group of stono bouses. Tho tallest of
these, as well as the church on tho hillside
back of them and its helfrv, wero
Icopheled, and on the outskirts of tho
villugo thero wero several ordinary
blockhouses filled in with earth and one
made of stono. Tho key to the position.
behind barricades wls-.ro their smokeless
powder did not gi vo thou away.
Tho regiment went into the light at El
(Jnuey 400 strong and l.?t 11 men killed
and 40 wounded. Lieutenant Colonel .J.
T. Haskell was wounded l.y throo
Mauser bullets, and tho command dotOh?d
upon Major L. M. O'Brien, a
veteran soldior of the Twenty-seventl
Miobigan. Tho men of this regimen
fought all day npon empty stowaohee
having had noproparcd meal since nooi
tho day before. They had left thell
packs and haversacks behind them.
Mujor O'Brien said that it was a mat
tor of surpriso that tho men were s<
ready and willing, as they had been ot
board tho transport 10 days befor<
lauding in Cuba. Tho voice of tin
grumbler was drowned by a chorus fron
his comrades. "What is tho nso?" the]
said. "Tho government is doing all it
can."
In the deployment of the right ol
Chnffoe's brigado, tho Seventh regiment
took the lead, marching over tho ridge
np n path in siuglo filo. Finally it
strnck a sou ken road on the crest of tin
ridgo 020 ynrds from tho Spanish block
house, northeast of B1 Ciuiey. The ores!
of tho ridge offered souio proteotioi]
from Spanish lire. Locking across the
hollow between them and the villago,
tho men could see tho enemy in theii
trenches, firing so;ju ^ by volloys
and Rouiotimes at will, i?o Seventh was
unable to silonco the Spanish tiro. All
day, for eight hours, tho high key ol
tho Mauser ritlo could ho heard above
tho pop of tho Krag-.Torgcnsen.
Tho slope in front of tho Seventh war
a denso chaparral, and a charge down
that across tho ravine under tho muzzles
of tho Mausers would have annihilated
the regiment. Besides, in advancing to
the fort tho Seventh would hnvo gotten
under tho lire of Caprou's guns.
They kept thoir colors flying all day as
markers for Capron. Tho losses were
distributed over every hour of tho day
and over all the companies in tho regiment.
Tho officers wera surprised iu
tho end to learn how many had been
lost, a total of 140 out of 830 in line.
As it was impossible for a man to show
tho smallest part of his body without
getting it punctured, all tho tiring was
done wliilo Ivimr down, nml nil
killed wero shot in tho beat!. Its commander,
U. S. Carpenter, a veteran of the
civil war, was on tbo lirin<; lino all day.
When the Twelfth regiment advanced
uguinst tbo stone fort early in tbo morning,
it drew tbo .Spanish liro from the
trenches, tbo loopbolod fort and the
church. Spaniards in tbo church belfry
iirst sighted the Twelfth us it moved
from tbo mountain down through tho
hollow to roach high ground TOO or 800
yards from tbo fort.
Captain Waltz's company orept up
within 850 to 400 yards, working right
and left and trying to get a position
enswept by tho Spanish tiro. After tho
fort had been breached hv Capron's
guns a couipluto regimental lino was
formed uud swept forward to tho fort,
which was taken possession cf by Companies
A, D and F under Captain Wood,
Lieutenant Wildo and Captain Clarke.
It was then 8 o'clock. Somo of tbo men
of Company F crept through tho hole*
which Capron's shells had nuulo in tho
stone walls and got tho Spanish flag.
I'rivul;) Abel of Company A raised the
colors of tho Twoltth over tho fort.
Soldiers of tho regiment wero wounded
in tho foil: after it had been taken. The
Spauish flag was handed first to Captain
II. Ij. llaskell, commanding the
battalion to which Company F belonged.
Captain Haskell gavo it to
Creelmais, tho coirespondent, who was
afterward wounded. Tho Twelfth men
finally got possession of tho flag again,
tore it iota lit.-; and distributed tho
pieces through the regiment.
Tho Twelfth was 500 strong at El
Cancy, and last 1 *.) killed uud wounded.
Colonel Richard Coniba, a war veteran,
was woe.ndud, and v.as succeeded in
command by Major II. A. Humphrey,
another war veteran.
After the lort fell tho Spauiards in
tho villago made a weak attempt to retake
it. Tiny advanced with a scattering
lino und.r cover of tho tiro from the
houses in tho village, but wero driven
buck. Capron's battery moved up and
opened til tho blockhouses around tbo
village. Chaffee's regiments also clmtgcd
forward through the hollow. For an
hour it was a struggling fight between
the demoralized b'pauiuids tryiug to get
away, Amcticuits heading them off, and
tho few misguided Spaniards, who
tm 'vGp 1! * ?M/.j:,
(;:m:;:m. a. r. ciiatkkk.
would not give in. (Jenornl Chaffee said
t<> a Spnni.li oliicerwho had given himself
up, "Cull on your men to surrender
( r they will all In shot." With a shrug
< f his shoulders t he Spaniard exclaimed
cynically. "It is tho fortune of war!"
ChafTro then said: "All right! Fortune
of war rocs I" And tho Americans went
on killing until the last dou was dead
or had grounded arms. Tho general says
lie saw 2f> or .'10 Spaniards shot iu tho
village while trying to get away.
Colonel Daggett said that fiom tho
general appearance of tho Kl Cnucy fortifications
and their capacity ho judged
that tho garrison numbered 2,000. The
Spanish estimate was 1,5100. The colonel
said that tho lessen of Kl Caney is

oh beforo stated, was tho strong stone
fort, southeast of tho vilingo, crowning
a hill about 100 foot high. Tho El
Cancy garrison has been variously estimated
from 500 to l,0t)0 infantry, 110
artillery nor machino gnus. An estimate,
which seems to bo generally accepted,
places tho strength at -MO men.
It has ulso been slated that 4t!0 men
wero killed, wounded und taken prisoners.
Tho Spanish general, Vara del Key,
with his brother nud two sous, weio
among tho killed.
General Chaffee's plan was to throw
tho left regiment of his brigade against
tho Ftono fort, swinging his right in
lino with it around so r.s to sweep the
interval between tho it.it and tho villngo
and thus hold the Spanish between
his lino nml that of Lodlow'u. Dining
tho night of tho tlOib ho placed a company
of the Twelfth regiment at tho
base of a hill which lay between his
bivouac nu<l tho stone fort, with orders
to seize the hill in the morning, lie also
puivimi it company ( i iuo ceveutn regiment
(>n a height northeast of El Caucy.
At daylight of tho 1st Chaffee sent
the Twelfth regiment to deploy to tho
right of the company posted <m tho hill
and attack in a font Invest (ii recti oil?
that is, toward tho fort, and at the sumo
tinio holed tho Seventh and Seventeenth
north by a road from Montaunmo,
changing directions southwest toward
(hp village and tho iuterval between
Unit cml the fort. At about ?:I10, or an
hour after Caprou'u guns opened, these
regiments came in view of tho Twelfth
and formed connection, so as to cover
the whole Spanish pcsitii n. Tho bri
gado lino was actually formed about 8
o'clock, for in advancing tho men oil
tho right found themselves lived ou from
n blockhouse northeast of El Cauey village.
Fifty Cubans wcro sent against
the blockhouse to keep its lire down.
The glory of taking (lie stnnofort fell
to tho Twelfth regiment, but the Seventh
and Seventeenth, en its right,
should share tho lienor. They fought
tho Spaniards flank and rear. Tho .Seventeenth
on the extreme right, near the
village, crept forward to a sunken road
en tho crest, looking down into a valley
upon the village. Ilelow them was
p hollow through which runs a crock,
but when they attempted to advance
down tho slope toward tho creek the.
men had no cover at all. In tho lowland
was a ravine completely covered
by Spanish fire. Tho orders of tho regiment
were net to fire except they could
do so effectively, which wuu seldom, as

of ; The French ethnologist, Professor
Regnault, has made special studies
ht the far east in regard to the ability
the Hindoos to make use of their t<
a, as auxiliaries of their hands. Tl
! ability is particularly noticeable wb
c_ one watches Hindoo tradesmen at tb
work. The carpenter employs his f<
as a vise and as a gaugo; the eh<
e* maker holds the shoe between his fe
y leaving both his hands free to wo
j*" upon It; the Hindoo butcher holds
knife between the big and the seco
toe and cuts his meat by drawing
?6 across the knife and pressing it dot
ty with both hands. The help of the ft
is most valuable in weaving, and it
a a wonderful thine to n? to soo >? Hi
re <loo artisan use both his hands and t
feet in handling his loom. Regna\
also observed a child climbing a tr
and grasping the brauches of the tr
between the two first toes of elth
a foot whenever a hold could thus
secured.
n> This collaboration of the feet wi
the hands, it would seem, Is the resi
of several changes In the physical d
velopment which the Hindoo race h
,g undergone in the course of tlr
through outward agencies. Their h
in joints are much freer and more limb
than ours, and will permit them
squat on the ground and at the sat
01 time approach the feet so near to the
11 hands that they can grasp with the
n feet the work in hand, and hold
with sonic expense of strength. T
Te ankle joint is also limber, and wor
a freely, and the big toe is more dev<
oped and can be moved by them at w
f. as regards its bending and stretchin
h its separating from and approachii
toward the second toe.
,r The normal foot of the Hiudoo shov
y. a large space between the big toe ai
the second; this, however, is due sole
ia to ineir wearing sandals, which a
held in place by a wooden peg plac<
u between these two toes. The consta
muscular exercise practiced in holdit
ltJ the sandals naturally tends
strengthen these toes, and the use
the feet being a general custom ai
r tried even by children of the tfendere
i- age, has gradually changed the HI;
doo anatomy.
