TIIE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
The history of the Spanish-American War hay- ing been treated quite fully in Voinme I of this work (Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, pages 571 to 576), including a sketch of each individ- ual regiment, it is not deemed necessary to re- peat substantially the same matter iu this con- nection. It is proper to state, however, that, in accordance with a special inessage addressed . by Gov. John R. Tanner to the General Assembly on February 17, 1898, cailing attention to the destruction of the battleship Malne in Havana Harbor and suggesting the possible necessity of military aid to the General Government, that hody, on the same date, adopted a series of res- olutions commending the action of the Governor, and authorizing him to "tender to the President of the United States all moral and material sup- port that may he necessary in this emergency, to maintain the proper dignity of our republic and
the honor of the American flag." (For an ex- planation of the eanses leading to the strnggie of which this marked the beginning, see the see- tlon of the "Historical Encyclopedia" above re- ferred to, on pages 571-572.)
From tills action of the Governor and the General Assembly of Illinois, It wlil be seeu tirat Illinois was the first State to tender its support to the Generai Government in anticipation of such a struggle, and when the actual call for troops eame from the War Department In Washi- ington on April 25th, based upon the prociama- tion of President Mckinley two days previons, the State was prepared for the event. That the respouse was prompt is shown hy the enrollment of six Infantry regiments (the First to the Sixth ) and one of cavalry, one day later, and that of the Seventh Regiment of Infantry on April 27th, and thelr immediate call to Springfleid, where, within thirty-six hours after the 'Issue of their call, they went into camp at the Fair Grounds under command of Brigadier General James H. Barkley, while a hattery of Ligiit Artillery was ready for enroliment and mustering in at Dan- viile on April 30th. These several organizations were made up practically from the IlInois Na- tionai Guard, as It already existed as an or- ganization of the State Militia in different parts of the State, their enlistments, with few exeep- tions, taking piace in solid bodles. The enroll- ment of the First and Second Regiments took place in Chicago ; the Third came from uorthern counties outside of Cook ; the Fourth from east- ern and southern counties; the Fifth from cen- trai and western eonnties, including Sangamon ; the Sixth from northwestern portions of the State, while the Seventh took on a special form as the "Hibernian Rifles." The eavairy was made up mostly from Chicago, with two troops from McLean, and one each from Sangamon, Logan, and the vicinity of Lacon, Ill. The order In time of the mustering of these severai regi- ments into the United States service, for a period of two years, is shown by the following list (taken from the Adjutant General's Report) each organization retaining Its rank as a part of the Illinois National Guard :
(1) Fifth Iufantry (I. N. G.), May 7, 1898.
(2) Tilrd Infantry (I. N. G.), May 7, 1898.
(3) Sixth Infantry (I. N. G.), May 11, 1898.
(4) Battery A (I. N. G.), May 12, 1898.
(5) First Infantry (I. N. G.), May 13, 1898.
(6) Second Infantry (I. N. G.), May 16, 1898.

HISTORY OF SANGAMON COUNTY
(7) Seventh Infantry (I. N. G.), May 18, 1898.
(8) Fourth Infantry (I. N. G.), May 20, 1898.
(9) First Cavalry, May 21, 1898.
The Third and Fifth Regiments were the first to depart for the seat of war, leaving Springfield on May 14th, both going by way of Chickamauga to Newport News, where the former finally embarked for Porto Rico, and took part in the capture of Arroyo and Guay- ama, but having suffered severely from fever and other diseases, was ordered home, reaching Illinois by way of New York, November 11th, and being mustered out at Joliet, January 24, 1899. At Newport News the Fifth once boarded a transport for Porto Rico, but there already belng an excess of troops in the field and the war practically over, on August 15th It started for home by way of Lexington, Ky., arriving at Springfield September 6th and being mus- tered out October 16, 1898. While the Fifth saw no active service in the field, It was made up of a sturdy class of patriotic citizens, who were greatly disappointed on this account and would have equaled any other regiment in the value of their services If the opportunity had been given them.
The First, Second and Sixth all left Spring- field on the same day-May 17th-the first two for points in Florida, and the latter for Camp Alger, Va. The First took part in the capture of Santiago, but being depleted by sickness, In the latter part of Angust was ordered home by way of Montauk Point, L. I., reached Chl- cago September 10th, and was mustered out November 17th. The Second saw most of its service on police duty at Havana during the winter of 1898-99, and In the latter part of March, 1899, returning to Augusta, Ga., was there mustered out on April 26th. On July 5th the Sixth Regiment arrived at Charleston, S. C., on the way to Cuba, but later joined Gen. Miles' expedition in Porto Rico, In Sep- tember returned home and was mustered out November 25th. The Seventh, under command of Col. Marcus Kavanaugh, on May 28th left for Camp Alger, Va., but on September 9th returned to Springfield, was furloughed for thirty days and mustered out October 20th. Like the Fifth, it saw no actual service in the field.
The Elghth Regiment, mustered in under President Mckinley's second call, July 23, 1898, was composed wholly of Afro-Americans under
Officers of their own race, with Col. John R. Mar- shali in command. Six companles (A to F) came from Chicago, the others being recruited chiefly from Bloomington, Springfield, Quincy, Litchfield, Metropolis, Mound City, Cairo and other points in Southern Illinois. It reached Santiago early in August and was assigned to duty In relief of the First Illinois, in which they rendered good service.
The Ninth, organized as a "Provisionai Regl- ment" from counties In Southern Illinois, was mustered in under the President's second call, July 4-11, 1898, under command of Col. James R. Campbell. After some delay at Jacksonville, Fla., and Savannah, Ga., it reached Havana in December, 1898, where it remained untii May, 1899, when it was mustered out at Augusta, Ga., May 20th.
The First Cavalry, consisting of seven com- panies recruited from Chicago, two from Bloom- ington and one each from Springfield, Elkhart and Lacon, was mustered In at Springfield May 21, 1898, under command of Col.
