The rotreating Spaniards were behind a stone wall, and if they had been good marksmen they would have done groat execution among the Sixteenth boys. But they weren't, and we got off lightly. My battallion, the First, was in advance, while tho Second was stationed higher up the mountain side. For an hoar the fight went on, the First bat tallion doing individual firing, while tho Second fired in volleys. The Spanish officers acted well, exposing themselves bravely to our fire. Six of them paid tho penalty with their lives, while only five privates woro killed and 62 wounded. The Spanish commander rode out into the open, fully exposing himself.

"The distance to the point Jwe wanted to reach was about 14 miles, and we were tired and tattered and torn, when at last about 7 o'clock in the morning, we reached the crest of a ridge from which we caught light of a military road leading from Cosmo to Aibooito. Before we got there we heard the booming of gaas, and knew the artillery.ihad began the attack on the town. Fagged oat as we wen the expectation of a brash with tho Spaniards pot new life Into OS la short order. Oar greatest isar was that, owing to ths early "The two battalions of the Sixteenth were detailed to make the detour to the west of Goamo over the mountain trail. We marched at night, guided by Colonel Biddle. I say marched, but it would be more correct to say we stumbled and crawled and climbed and tumbled, for the trail was so blind and narrow we had to go in singlo file. It was intersected by deep ravines. We slid and tumbled down the side of these and crawled the other, often on haads and knees. Oacti lined the sides of the trail, and theee tore onr uniforms and scratched our faces and hands as we pushed along. "The Sixteenth Pennsylvania," Captain Hall continued, when asked about the capture at Coamo, "saw about all the fighting there was about (hat town. It happened this way. The Spaniards at Coamo had an idea we could not approach the town in any way except over the flue military road which runs from Pouce to San Juan. But Colonel John Diddle, of the engineer corps, who is here with me, discovered that there was a rough trail through the mountains which led to the west of Coamo. It was determined that a force should be sent by way of this trail to attack Cosmo from the west, and if possible, prevent the retreat of the Spaniards when the artillery and the main body of General Wilson's command, coming along tho military road, attacked from the other aide. "There is no doubt the natives were tired of Spanish rule," hosaid. "They welcomed us everywhere with wild enthusiasm. We received no such ovations anywhere as wo did in Porto Rico. At first the weather was delightful. The days were not excessively warm, and the nights were so cool that we always needed blankets to sleep comfortably. Bat when the rainy season began it was dif* ferent. The air was so full of moisture all the time that everything was damp and uncomfortable. This will coutinue, I am told, until the end of October." Captain Harry Alvan Hall, of Ridgway, who had command of Company H, Sixteenth Regiment, accompanied by Lieut. E. M. Fullington, called on tho President to-day and presented him with tho Spanish royal standards captured by thorn at Coamo and Aibonito, Porto Rioo. A press dispatch from Washington, under date of yesterday, says : "Captain Harry Alvan Hall, who looks none the worse for his campaigning in Porto Rioo, says he thinks that island the most beautiful spot he has ever seen.
