DID NOT STORM SAN JUAN
A Clond Cast Upon a Celebrated Mil
itary Story.
Boston Transcript.
It Is pretty hard to kill a good story; In
deed, a really good story never dies no
matter how far from the petty, unimagin
ative truth It may be. Such a story Is
"the charge of the Rough Riders up San
Juan Hill." Military men may grow apo
plectic and historians may rave, but
Roosevelt at the head of his Rough Rid
ers storming San Juan Hill will remain,
a popular and cherished picture In the
public's eye for aye. Nay, more, the
picture need not remain in the mind
alone; we see it at Buffalo Bill's show,
and It has been put upon canvas and ex
hibited In all our states, territories and
"places subject to our jurisldction." And
to make the lesson more emphatic the
great 'Verestchagin is talking from day
to day about the massive picture of thl3
episode which he is building. Like the
boy's fairy story, it's so whether it's so
or not.
And yet well, why say anything more
about it? Still, possibly the historians
might be allowed a last desperate chance
at publishing their side of the case. Let
them have it.
Meaning no disrespect to anybody con
cerned, they will whisper to their vic
tims in some secluded corner that neither
Roosevelt nor the Rough Riders
stormed San Juan hill! It was another
hill, and it -wasn't eo big as San Juan.
Let the historian tell it plainly. On the
1st of July, 189S, there were two fights,
El Caney and San Juan. Lawton com
manded at El Caney, and Kent and "Whee
ler before San Juan. The objective point
at San Juan was a blockhouse on the
summit of San Juan Hill. Between the
Americans' position, and that block-house
was, first, San Juan River and then a
knoll called Kettle hill, on which was a
block-house about one-third of a mile
from San Juan hill's crest. It was nec
essary to take Kettle hill before preceed
ing to the larger point beyond. General
Carroll was ordered to advance on Kettle
hill, supported by Wood. It was a quick
but bloody fight, as sanguinary as that
of Kent's division at San Juan. The
troops comprising the attacking force
were: One squadron of the First Cavalry,
the Ninth Cavalry and the First Volun
teer Cavalry (the "Rough Riders"). And
by the way, the first party to reach the
top consisted of two troops of the Ninth
Cavalry, not the "Rough Riders." This
crest gained, the main body of the Amer
ican Army moved on, and after a des
perate fight captured San Juan hill. None
of this Kettle hill force "went up San
Juan hill," although some of them, In
cluding the Rough Riders, did Join In the
attack on San Juan rldge after the sum
mit had been taken. Colonel Roosevelt's
book makes this sufficiently plain.
If the artists and the orators wish to
present the taking of San Juan hill, they
must put the regulars of the infantry,
-who were under Kent, Into the picture.
If they wish to present the taking of
Kettle hill they may put in the Rough
Riders with Colonel Roosevelt somewhere
about, but not on horseback, for the
cavalry In that battle had no horses. If
they wish a true,' faithful picture, let
them give us the killing of Colonel Ham
ilton while leading the Ninth Cavalry up
Kettle hill, or the gallant Colonel Wlkoff,
killed while leading the Thirteenth In
fantry up San Juan hill. The attack on
Kettle hill was a daring, thrilling achieve
ment; it was by no means so huge an
event or so Important as the attack on
San Juan hill which followed. But no
such comparisons need be made, and are
only cited here to keep the record straight.
There was glory enough, peril enough
and bravery enough in both achievements
without hopelessly befogging, them in our
minds, arid by mis-placing our credits and
our laurels.
And yet we suppose "Roosevelt and the
Rough Riders storming San Juan hill" will
continue In popular phrase end fable
for all our days. Why should we com
plain of the falsity of our histories when
so soon after this Spanish war ' we are
In such hopeless confusion over its main
facts?
Want Suit Transferred.
DENVER, Aug. 27. Attorneys for John
W. Gates and his associates, who are

Railvrny Trainmen "Will Demand 20
Per Cent Increase In Wages.
" MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27. The Sentinel
his morning says: "By September 15 the
large railway systems of the country
will be enfronted with a demand by 100,
000' members of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen for an increase in wages,
which will mean an additional outlay of
51,000.000 a month for wages by railroads
In the country or the alternative of a
strike which will eclipse in Its extent
all previous strikes, including the dem
onstration of the American Railway
Union in 1834. The demands which have
been formulated are for an Increase
of 20 per cent In -wages."
CLEVELAND, O.. Aug. 27. Assistant
Grand Master Lee, of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, said today:
"It is true that a concerted move
ment has been Inaugurated by trainmen
and conductors employed on railroads
west of the Mississippi River to secure
uniform rules and compensation. A vote
of the men. which will probably result
In the officers of the two organizations
being authorized to present requests to
the various roads for these concessions,
is now being taken. It will, however,,
be at least fO days before the vote has
beep completed. There is absolutely no
talk of a strike, and the possibility of
such a movement is extremely remote."

COAST-KOOTENAI ROAD.
New Line to Be Bnilt as a Great
Northern Proposition.
VANCOUVER, B. G. Aug. 27. A special
from Ottawa says J. N. Greenshlelds, so
licitor for Mackenzie & Mann, and Nor
man McLean and D. G. MacDonnell, of
Vancouver, are arranging with the Gov
ernment regarding the proposed Coast
Kootenai Railway. It is stated that Mac
kenzie & Mann, who have a charter for
the same route, previously purchased from
Vancouver men, have withdrawn their op
position to McLean Bros. With Macken
zie & Mann, the Great Northern is acting,
and Mr. Greenshlelds claims that they
have a bona fide intention of building the
line. The withdrawal of opposition to the
new plan of McLean Bros, is said to be
due to an understanding arrived at among
all the parties. Including the Great North
ern, and the plan m-itured will be that the
line will be built as a Great Northern
proposition, by McLean Bros., backed lo
cally by Mackenzie As Mann. The line
would also have direct connection" with
Crow's Nest, where President Hill of the
Great Northern, is largely interested.

Tonight the President dined here at the

Plttsfleld and Newport. At each of these
places the enthusiasm was genuine and
hearty, and the shouts of the people as
the President came out could be heard
for some time after the train went by.
The special train bearing the President
and his party arrived here at 12 o'clock,
on time. The President was met at the
train by President Bcal. of the Eastern
Maine State Fair Association; Senator

President spoke.
The President and his party then re
turned to their carriages, and the cav
alcade made the circuit of the track. The
President stood most of the time as Tils
carriage passed through the crowd.
At the Maine Central Station another
great crowd was assembled, and here the
cheering was continued. Across the city
the train was watched by thousands, and
when it reached the switch at Hancock
street, the residents of the locality gavo
the President a- warm reception. While

with a resident, and made Inquiries con
cerning the famous Bangor salmon pool,
which Is located but a short distance
above the switch.

Heavy Rains In. Arkansas Valley.
FLORENCE, Colo.. Aug. 27. One of the
heaviest rains that has ever visited the
Arkansas Valley . In the memory 6f the
oldest Inhabitants fell here last night and
considerable damage is reported. The
water fell in sheets, and the Arkansas
was soon running bank-full. Every dry
creek In the prairie was overrunning its
banks, and the streets of Florence were
like rivers. Many houses on the lowlands
were flooded. Numerous cloudbursts are
reported In the mountains south of here.
At Cannon City the streets were covered
with soveral Inches of water. Oak Creek,
which runs through Rockvale, overflowed
its banks. The damage to the fruit crop

EVICTION OF STRIKERS
CONSTABLES AND MINERS IN CON
FLICT IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Demand of Railway Trainmen for
Increase in Wages May Cause a
Great Strike in the West.
HINTON. W. Va.. Aug. 27. Great ex
citement existed In the vicinity of Red
Ash and Beury today, caused by the con
stables removing striking families from
company houses. About 40 families who
were notified to leave the houses of the
Red Ash Coal Company refused to vacate,
and when the constables began to remove
their household goods a volley of shots
was fired at the officers from the opposite
side of tho river. They returned the fire
with rifles. It Is estimated that S00 shots
were fired. The shooting was all at long
range, and no one on the Red Ash side
was hurt.
About 40 deputies who had been sta
tioned at Thurmond and other points In
the striking district were rushed to the
scene of the shooting, and a late report
now states that the men who opened the
fire are now surrounded. The officers are
removing the household goods and the
houses will be occupied by other miners
who are willing to work.
The coal output is steadily Increasing.
Yesterday 110 cars of coal and 23 cars of
coke were loaded In the New River field.
CHARLESTON, wTVa., Aug. 27. Late
tonight, Governor White acceded to the
Truest of Sheriff Daniel, of Fayette

nounced that he could not, with his posse,
protect life and property.
SERIOUS CLASH FEARED.
Situation In the Panther Creek Val
ley Becomes Critical.
TAMAQUA. Pa., Aug. 27. The situation
In the Panther Creek Valley tonight Is
serious. At 8 o'clock the streets of Lans-
ford and Summit Hill were thronged with
strikers. Early In the evening two com
panies of the Twelfth Regiment were, sent
through the Valley on a trolley car. All
along the line the soldiers were hooted
and Jeered, and It was deemed prudent to
take them off the cars, while Mary
Markley was earning supper to her
brother, who Is employed at a colliery
near Lansford, she was set upon and se
verely beaten by a crowd of women.
Late tonight the crowds on the streets
have dwindled, and order has been par
tlally restored. The civil authorities ex
press the belief that there will be no serl
ous disturbances during the night. They
are fearful, however, that a serious clash
will occur between the troops and the
strlkera In the morning. The fact that
the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company Is
hoisting coal at Its No. 4 colliery has
greatly Incensed the mlneworkers. espe
dally the foreigners, and they are deter
mined not to allow nonunion men to go
to work tomorrow.
SHENANDOAH, Pa.. Aug. 27. The
Governor's Troop left here at 7:30 o'clock

day3 that he has been unable to cover
the disturbed district with the rorce at nis

which affects the general prosperity and
comfort of a great section of the country.
The method and enforcement of this arbi
tration Is a subject for the lawmakers of
the Nation, but arbitration Itself Is logical.
"Incorporation of all labor unions Is the
primary step towards the passage of an
arbitration law. The unions must be re
sponsible for the carrying out of an agree
ment, and until they are there there Is lit
tle hope for .compulsory arbitration ot
labor troubles."

Gaelic Language Coming Into Use.
New York Times.
It was not eo many years ago that Gaelic
in this country was practically an unknown
language, and on Its native heaths In Ire
land and among the highlands of Scotland.
while the spoken tongue was handed down
from father to son, the written language
was a closed book to all but a few scholars. I
In very recent years a remarkable re- j
vival has taken place in the study of the j
ancient tongue, wnicn some scnoiars nave
claimed to antedate the Greek and Sans
krit. Gaelic books have been written,
Gaelic periodicals are on sale at the newsstands.-
Gaelic professorships have been
founded in the leading universities In this
country as well as In the great schools
In England, France and Germany.
Gaelic sermons are now preached In three !
churches in Boston, and there are more
than 50 clubs In New York, Boston and
San Francisco, the purpose of which Is to
study and propagate the study of the
Gaelic language and literature, and a con
servative estimate places the number ot
Gaelic-speaking people In thlo country at
not less than 1.000,000.
A remarkable feature of the revival Is
that from America, where the movement
started, the dealre to study the ancient
language has spread to Ireland, where It
had a!mos gone into decay. There, during
the past five years, the books published
in Gaelic have outnumbered those printed
in English by two to one.
