Company D, Second United States Engineers, was raised in Indiana, and was commanded by Captain Barton F. Dick- son, chief of artillery on Governor Mount's staff. The com- pany was mustered into United States service July 1, and five days later left for Ft. Sheridan, near Chicago, where it remained until August 12, under instructions. On the latter date it left for Montauk Point, Long Island, where the camp was prepared for the men returning from Santiago.


On October 30 the men left Montauk Point and at Long Island City embarked for Savannah, Ga., on November 1, and arrived there three days later. The company remained at Savannah until November 22, when it embarked for Port Tampa, Florida., where it embarked for Havana, Cuba, and arrived there three days later. The company established a camp at Los Quemados de Marianao, and remained there until April 15, 1899. In this time the company was busy in the construction of railroads and of water works for the corps. In this later work five miles of pipe were laid and a boiler and pumps were installed at the Havana reservoir. Roads were built and hospital buildings were put up.


The company left Havana April 15 and reached Savannah, Ga., April 17, and was sent to the detention camp at Dan- fusti Island, South Carolina. There it was mustered out May 16, 1899.

The Fourteenth Signal Corps Company is credited to In- diana, although it was a United States organization. Its captain was Charles T. MacIntire, who raised the company, and it was accepted July 7 and left for Washington, D. C., the same day. The company reached Washington July 9, and twenty days later was sent to Camp Cuba Libre, near Jack- sonville, Florida. It remained there until September 14, when it was sent to Camp Mount and furloughed for thirty days from September 18. It was mustered out and dis- charged October 21.


The company lost one member by death-Sergeant Louis D. Callison of Warsaw-who had enlisted as a private and was appointed sergeant July 10. He was transferred to the Second Company on September 3 and died four days later at Washington.


The work of the signal corps was appreciated by Briga- dier-General A. W. Greely, chief signal officer, United States Army, and on September 13 he issued the following order:


394


NATIONAL GUARD OF INDIANA.


Orders, No. 13.


War Department, Signal Office, Washington, September 13, 1898.


The disintegration of the United States Volunteter Signal Corps begins with the relief this day from active duty of the Fourteenth Company, under orders with a view to its furlough and muster out. Debarred by stress of duties at his designated post from participating in field service with the companies of the Signal Corps, the Chief Signal Officer of the army can not permit his men to return to civil life without some word of acknowledgment of their loyal, efficient, and valuable services to the nation.


Despite this being an age of electricity, nearly a month passed after the legislation creating a great volunteer army before authority of law was granted for the organization of a Volunteer Signal Corps. Nevertheless its members can truly claim that this corps has failed in no duty and been found wanting in no emergency, and there were many.


The history of the Volunteer and Regular Corps are inseparably con- nected, for the sixty regulars-men and officers-were but a framework to the one hundred and sixteen officers and one thousand men in the Volunteers. Apart from the chief signal officer, every regular signal officer but one served as a volunteer, and all, without exception, have been merged and unified into one command.


With the war practically ended, the brief recital of your services is not vainglorious, but may serve as a standard which we trust the American soldier of the twentieth century will strive to excel in days of future peril to the republic.


In the Santiago campaign you were the first of the army to arrive, as you were the last to leave. Destroying within range of Spanish guns the submarine cables that gave the enemy daily information of inesti- mable value, when the occupation of Santiago was ordered you repaired cables with such celerity that you opened communication between the United States Marine Camp at Caimanera (Guantanamo) and New York City on June 21, the day prior to the landing of the Fifth Army Corps off Santiago. Detained even after the homeward voyage of your commanding general, you formed the last organized command to leave the conquered city, and some even now are not free from detention camp. Battles may be fought and epidemics spread, but speedy com- munication must nevertheless be maintained, and owing to your efforts the American army in Cuba has not been isolated telegraphically a single day.


In the Cuban campaign you arranged, maintained and operated a system of cable and land lines-partly commercial, partly war cables, partly flying telegraph lines, and partly telephone lines-that enabled messages to pass in twenty minutes from the Executive Mansion in Washington to the headquarters of the army before Santiago, and which offered direct and immediatet communication between the Secre- tary of War in his office and the Signal Corps men in the advanced rifle pit on the right, the left, and in the center of our entrenched army, within four hundred yards of the enemy. When the city fell your lines followed immediately army headquarters as it moved therein.


No one will ever know the difficulties-physical and moral, climatic and service-under which you labored in Cuba. Heat and thirst, hunger and fatigue-these present sufferings with impending disease and death -you endured and faced uncomplainingly with the rest of the army,


395


NATIONAL GUARD OF INDIANA.


but these conditions never prevented the prompt, cheerful, and efficient discharge of the important duties devolving unremittingly day and night on the Signal Corps.


Although not counted a part of the fighting force of the army, you unhesitatingly advanced. in obedience to orders and under the direction of an officer of another corps, the Signal Corps balloon to the skirmish line, where you sent up and occupied it under sharp fire of grapnel and heavy fire of musketry, until, rent and destroyed, it fell useless to the ground. Later. your balloon destroyed, you carried to the front, under heavy fire, rapid-firing guns for the use of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry (Rough Riders).


In Porto Rico you were ever with the advance, participating as scouts and skirmishers in the capture and occupation of towns. From the beginning to the end of the campaign, you kept each important com- mand in telegraphic or telephonic communication both with the corps commanders and also with the base of operations. You action and persistency speedily replaced the special cable' instruments destroyed by the enemy, thus making possible immediate telegraphic communica- tions with the United States. Such were your energy and dispatch that nearly two hundred miles of wire were being operated by you in Porto Rico when the peace protocol initiated an armistice.


In the Philippines you were always to the front, and throughout siege operations constructed and maintained telegraph and telphonic lines in the advanced trenches at Manila, remaining with the rest of the army under fire daily, under conditions so dangerous that five offi- cers were brevetted and several men recommended for medals of honor. The city taken. your application and ingenuity repaired the severed Manila-Hongkong cable days in advance of the arrival of the English cable ship, and this very day marks the laying of a signal corps cable between Cavite and Manila.


Less exciting but scarcely second in importance, were your duties at the great camps of the country, Alger (Falls Church, Va.), Cuba Libre (Jacksonville, Fla.), Meade (Middletown, Pa.), Thomas (Chickamauga Park, Ga.), Wikoff (Montauk Point, L. I.), and others, where telephonic and telegraph systems, indispensable for proper administrative purposes, were promptly established without waiting for formal application.


The connections by cable of the principal forts in our great harbors and the initiation and installment of an entirely new electrical fire control system were also your labors. Meanwhile, throughout the war, the military telegraph lines around the great Indian reservations and along the Mexican frontier were as regularly maintained and faithfully operated as in peace.


Wise restrictive legislation by Congress, in obliging two-thirds of the Signal Corps to be electrical experts, recognized, theoretically, the value to the Signal Corps of competent officers and intelligent men. It has remained for you to practically demonstrate this in the unique character of service rendered by you to the government. While your service everywhere has been of the highest character you have especi- ally illustrated that development of character necessary to expert work by your devotion as officers and obedience as men, under trying and monotonous conditions of camp and garrison life where the soldier and officer are fashioned day by day for the supreme moment of battle. The lessons there learned have served you well.


The Signal Corps has filled neither the guardhouse nor the hospital. Serving in the field in Cuba, in the Philippines, and in Porto Rico,


396


NATIONAL GUARD OF INDIANA.


and in home garrisons at Tampa, Chickamauga, Camp Alger, Jackson- ville and Montauk, yet your total aggregate of over thirteen hundred has lost by disease in camp and field, to date, only five-officers and men included.


As our roads part and the greater number of the Signal Corps go back to the paths of civil life, the chief signal officer of the army gives you all God-speed, hoping that the hardships of war, while making you advocates of all peace that is not shameless and unpatriotic, will ever make you mindful of the value and welfare of the Regular Signal Corps, of which you have been so great a part in the war, to the glory of the American army.

After peace had been declared many officers for the United States volunteer regiments were selected from In- diana. All so appointed served in the Philippines the full term, with the single exception of Captain Orison P. Lee, of Indianapolis, who was drowned June 10. The following or- der was issued by his regimental commander:


HEADQUARTERS FORTY-FIFTH INFANTRY, U. S. V.


Iriga, Province of Camarines Sur, P. I., June 27, 1900.


General Orders, No. 43.


It is the painful duty of the Regimental Commander to announce to the regiment the death of Captain Orison P. Lee, on the 10th instant, by accidental drowning in the China Sea near the village of Macabugos on the northwest coast of the province of Albay. Captain Lee was at the time in command of a scouting detachment of eighty men from his own company and Company C, and with a small party had left the main body at Macabugos on the morning of the 10th instant, to scout the coast for a few miles in a northwesterly direction. On his return march, a few hours later, he found four canoes on shore, which he said he needed. He placed a few men in each and stepped into the last one himself. It is believed he wanted the canoes for the purpose of crossing over to the island of Burias, whither a number of rebels are said to have fled. While the canoes were being rowed to Macabugos, keeping at a distance of about three hundred yards from shore, the one in which he was seated suddenly capsized. With instruc- tions that the men who could not swim should stay with the canoe, he started to swim for shore, calling to the other boats to come to the assistance of the men in the water. While these men were being rescued, and attention was distracted from himself, he was drowned about 100 yards from shore, either from being seized with cramps, or on account of exhaustion produced by the weight of his clothing and pistol. His body was recovered too late to save his life.


Captain Lee was born in the State of Indiana and was in his fortieth year of age. He had had thirteen years' service in the National Guards of Indiana and Mississippi, in which he had held commissions as cap- tain, major. and colonel. During the Spanish-American war he was captain of Company K. One Hundred Sixtieth Indiana Volunteer In- fantry. He was appointed a captain of the Forty-Fifth Infantry, United States Volunteers, to date from August 17, 1899, joining the regi- ment at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, on the 3d of the following October and being assigned to Company E.


He landed with the regiment at Manila on Dec. 22, 1899, and served with it in Wheaton's Expeditionary Brigade last January and Feb- ruary, in the campaign of the provinces of Cavite and Batangas. When


399


NATIONAL GUARD OF INDIANA.


the regiment was transferred by sea to the provinces of the Camarines in February, his company was with the first troops that disembarked, and on the same day, February 20, he commanded it in the action of Calabanga . He was afterwards stationed at Nueva Caceres for nearly three weeks and then sent to Iniga. From this point he accompanied the column which marched through the province of Albay and back again between March 16 and 25, and whose operations were immediately followed by the surrender of the rebel General Pana at Legaspi. Dur- ing this march he was in the action at Polangui, March 18; engaged in desultory skirmishing between Ligao and Guinobatan March 19, when his company was acting as escort for a signal detachment laying a telegraph wire; in two actions between Guinobatan and Camalig, in a third at Camalig and a fourth at Malabog, all on March 20, his sword belt being struck by a bullet at Malabog; and again in action at Camalig on March 23. On March 27 he was assigned to the command of the sub-post of Nabua, near Iriga, his own company constituting the gar- rison. This was his station at the time of his death. While there he commanded in four engagements which took place between scouting detachments of his company and rebels, in which he is known to have killed and wounded thirty of the enemy, and up to the date of his death he had captured more than 100 prisoners. He was also the senior of three officers who, while reconnoitering along the outskirts of Polan- gui, May 10, were suddenly confronted by twenty rebel cavalrymen, whom they gallantly attacked and routed with their pistols, dismount- ing one and capturing his horse. Captain Lee never reported this inci- dent officially, nor mentioned it unofficially until the regimental com- mander had learned of it from other sources and questioned him about it.


Between February 20 and June 10 Captain Lee's company, and de- tachments of it, had together marched over 1,000 miles in the provinces of Camarines Sur and Albay, he himself having marched nearly 700.


Captain Lee was an accomplished and cultivated man and a gentle- man in the fullest sense of the word. He had the essential military arrtibutes of cool courage, agressiveness combined with judgment, zeal, energy, tenacity, indifference to hardship and privation, ambition, and love of an active life, to which were added unusual physical strength and powers of endurance. Highly imbued with a military spirit, he was an earnest student of the military profession, not only absorbing infor- mation, readily, but, what is of far more importance, conscientiously endeavoring to make his daily conduct and actions conform to precept and experience. With a pure mind, with a frank, kind and generous nature, with pleasing manners and with moral courage to do what he thought was right, such an officer could not fail to command the respect of both superiors and subordinates. By his untimely death the regiment suffers an irreparable loss, but his example shall always be with us. He leaves a wife and four small children. To them and to other mem- bers of his family we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their bereave- ment, and share with them the heritage of his memory.


The officers of the regiment will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
