AN EYE-WITNESS TELLS THE AWFUL TALE OF THE BATTLE OF SAN JUAN-UNPARALLELED
BRAVERY OF THE REGULARS BLOODTHIRSTY SPANISH SHARPSHOOTERS KILL OUR WOUND ED-A COLORED AVENGER -FRIGHTFUL SUF
FERINGS-THE GLORY OF VICTORY.
FroM the elevation to the left of the battery at El Pozo we could see the entire line of battle, the line advancing up the steep hill at San Juan.
Wheeler's division was to their right
and still further to the right the line of battle extended as la as the eye could see.
The capturo of the block-house at San
Juan was a wonderful sight.
Tirelvo or thirteen men advanced
beyond the main line,
They halted at the brow of the hill
directly in front of the Spanish intrenchments, and opened fire on the enemy. In a few minutes they were joined by the main line, and they dashed almost into the intrenchments and over Them. Then the charge on the block-house itself was made.
