SEVENTY-FIRST REGIMENT, INFANTRY.
During the day the regiment participated in the capture of San Juan Hill. At a critical time Major Keck led the third battalion forward and as they moved toward San Juan Hill, Major Wells followed with the second and part of the first battalions. On crossing the stream at the foot of the hill Major Wells assumed command, and appointed Captain Linson acting major of the first battalion, and Captain Goldsborough acting major of the second battalion, and all moved forward and took part in the capture of the block house. Captain Rafferty, with company F, having previously obtained permission of the colonel of the regi- ment to go forward, had already ascended the hill. The enemy used smokeless powder, and so did the regulars.
The seventy-first regiment had Springfield rifles and did not have smokeless powder. The firing brought at once upon the men in the trenches the storm of the enemy's fire, and they were soon ordered not to fire unless they could procure Mauser rifles. This not a few did; taking those they could find which wounded or dead men could no longer use. During the night the regiment worked continuously digging trenches and building breastworks preparatory for the work of the following day.
Firing opened, July 2d, at dawn; the battle continuing through the day. During all this time the regiment held its position in the trenches. The first and second battalions were at the right of the famous San Juan block house, and the latter was held as a support to the twenty-fourth United States infantry, which occupied the trenches on the left of the block house.
At night a severe attack was made upon the trenches of the seventy-first by the Spaniards. During the attack the regiment held its position in the trenches, and kept up continuous firing for fully an hour and a half.
Fighting commenced at dawn, July 3d, and continued until noon, when orders were given to "cease firing," and a flag of truce was sent out by the corps commander. The regiment continued to occupy its position in the trenches on San Juan Hill, at the right of the block house, until Tuesday, July 5th, when it was with- drawn and sent to a position on the left, to be in closer touch with the other regiments of the first brigade.

Orders were received from division headquarters, July 8th, for the regiment to report to General Lawton at daylight the follow- ing morning.
The regiment broke camp, July 9th, at 2:30 a. m .; marched four miles to the northward, and reported as ordered. It was assigned at once to a position in the trenches; the first battalion, occupy- ing those vacated by the fourth United States infantry, who occupied those vacated by General Garcia's troops, and the third those vacated by the second Massachusetts volunteers.
The regiment did desultory firing in the trenches during July 10th and 11th, and subsequently between the times flags of truce were flying and the process of negotiations between the generals of the opposing forces.
The regiment remained until August Sth, in the position assigned them by General Lawton, merely moving and encamp- ing as best it could with insufficient shelter tents back of the trenches and occupying two hills in the valley, between which ran a trail from El Caney road to Santiago northiward through all the camp, for a distance of four miles.
Severe and extended sickness pervaded the regiment the moment the enemy surrendered. Water was a full mile and a half distant and had to be transported in canteens. Daily rains and wholly insufficient shelter, with no variety of food, and the inade- quate facilities for cooking which were provided, combined to make the life of the regiment excessively hard to endure.
Orders came, August 8th, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the second battalion, together with companies B and L of the third battalion, to proceed to Santiago and board the transport "La Grande Duchesse " at 4 o'clock, and in a drenching rain the troops marched three miles into Santiago.
Not until August 10th, was "La Grande Duchesse" able to get under way; her machinery being out of order, and her steering gear unable to work. The balance of the regiment left camp on the morning of the 10th of August, marching to Santiago, where the first battalion boarded the auxiliary cruiser "St. Paul," and companies E and K the auxiliary cruiser "St. Louis." The

regiment was by these vessels transported to Montauk Point, L. I .. where "La Grande Duchesse" was quarantined for three days; yellow fever having appeared during the voyage and several vic- tims having died and been buried at sea.
On August 19th, the last of the companies disembarked. Each detachment was kept in a detention camp at Montauk Point for five days before it was finally transferred to the permanent camp, at the extreme westerly end of the reservation.
Orders were received, August 26th, from General Wheeler for the regiment to prepare to proceed to its home station, New York city, and there to be furloughed for a period of sixty days.
In the order appeared these words: " Pursuant to the direction of the President you will proceed to your homes and friends to receive the welcome which Americans have to accord to returning heroes who have fought, endured and suffered for the sake of their country, its honor and its prestige. This short but severe campaign has made ours among the great countries of the earth and you have done your full part in the great accomplishment."
The regiment broke camp at Montauk Point, August 29th, at 6 o'clock a. m., and proceeded by rail to Long Island City; thence by ferry to New York city, where it landed at South ferry and proceeded up Broadway in cable cars and carriages to Waverly place, where the regiment duly formed for parade to its armory. It was escorted from this point by the veteran asso- ciation of the seventy-first regiment and Lafayette post, G. A. R., together with the officers of the one hundred and seventy-first regiment, N. G., N. Y .. and reached the armory at Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue at 4:30 o'clock p. m. A remarkable ova- tion and demonstration of affectionate approval was received from thousands along the route of march.
After prayer by the chaplain, and a few words from the colonel, the regiment was at once dismissed and furloughed for sixty days.
The regiment assembled, October 27th, at 9:30 o'clock a. m., and work commenced preparatory to mustering it out of the United States service. This work was completed under the direction
