DREW A IIIA ON ROOSEVELT.
Crnck Mnrkmiinti of tlip Ninth
nlnrn Cnmp Near Hlinntlnir.
Among the United States regulars whose
terms of enlistment expired during the
Santiago campaign and who quit the service
upon returning to this country MIS a niMi
ot the Ninth Infantry , known to the mem
bers of the regiment s * Johnson ot Mary
land , He was a tall , lanky southerner and
the pride ot the Ninth , because of his marks
manship , which was so true that Johnson
WAS head and shoulders over all the other *
in handling a Krag-JorRensen. He ap
peared to bo the most contented man In
Uncle Sum's service and often spoke ot reenlisting -
enlisting until an event occurred just after
the close of the first day's fighting at San
Juan , which caused htm to change his mind ,
and he vowed never to handle a gun again.
1'W would never speak of It to hi * com
rades , but they all knew why he quit , and
although they srgucd and tried to persuade
him to remain , Johnson only shook his heart
and said : "No. boys , I can't stay with you
longer. I'd like to. but don't ak mo again.
I can't do It. I must got out. " *
One of the members of Johnson's com
pany tells In the Now York Sun the storr
of what caused the Ninth to lose JU crack
shot :
"We had been engaged In the hottest kino :
ot work for some hours and after taking
the flrst line ot Spanish trenches we were
fixing them up for our own use. The Span
iards had been driven back , but their
sharpshooters were still at it , picking off
our men here and there. The Mauser bul
lets were whizzing around Us pretty lively
and I noticed that Johnson was getting more
and more Impatient every minute and acting
as it he was just aching to got at thos
Spanish sharpshooter * nd finally he turned
to me and in his drawling tone said :
"Say , It's tough wo can't get a chance
at them. '
"He soon got his chance , however , for Juit
as duak began our captain ordered a dozen
of us to advance a short distance ahead and
well beyond the trench our forces had cap-
tured. When we arrived on the spot wt >
were halted on the edge ot a dense wood.
Just ahead ot us was an open spsco or
clear ground and on the other side of that
a low. thick brush , which extended as far
is I could ece. Our little party of cracjt
shots was one ot eeveral picked from the
various regiments , and as near as I can
recall there were men of the Third. Sixth
and Ninth cavalry Just to the right of us
and some of the Seventh. Ninth and Tenth
Infantry on our left. Behind us , but well
to the rear , were some of the 8/vn > flfl ; t
I believe ,
New York , the Rough Riders and.
the Sixth Massachusetts. There was an oo-
coslonal shot exchanged , but otherwUs
things were getting quot.
'just ' before night came on wo reetivea
our final orders , which were to pay P * c -
lar attention to the brush Just ahead of us
on the other side of the clearing and to > .hoot
at the flrst head we saw. Wo had ettiea
of watching
tiresome occupation
down to our
but always prepared for
ing and watting ,
anything , and Johnson and I were talking In
low tones of the day's fighting w had Just
passed through when we heard the Bound
ot a dry twig breaking. Wo were alert in
en Instant and all the men In our line were
looking straight ahead with pieces raised
ready for uso. As I looked at John.on I
could see him emlle. apparently with the
hope of a chance to shoot. The sound re
peated Itself , this time a little nearer , but
still quite Indistinct. An Instant later we-
again heard It and It sounded directly ahead
of Johnson and me and was beyond a doubt
a cautious tread , but too heavy for a man.
While we waited In almost breathless silence
for something to happen we again heard the
cautious tread , now quite plain. It was the
tread ot a horse and was Just ahead of us.
Suddenly as the tread became plainer a dark
object appeared Just above the top of the
brush. Dozens ot gun * 'were raised , but
Johnson whispered : . . _
" Tve got him. '
"He crawled a few paces forward and w
* aw him raise his gun , his fingers nervously
working on the trigger. At that Instant tht
brush parted and a horse and rider stepped
out. We saw Johnson stretch out his plec *
and we expected to see a flash , but Just then
the rider turned in hi * saddle and by th *
dim light from the dull red glow that still
tinged the sky we saw a pair of eyeglasses
flash. Wo alt knew at once who it was , but
not one of us spoke. We were probably too
horrified and before I could say a word John
son turned to me and with a look on hla
face I "hall never forget exclaimed in a
hoarse voice :
"My God , Ben Roosevelt ! And I nearly
plucked htm. '
"With this he throw his gun from him
and just sat there and stared at the placa
in the brush where Colonel Roosevelt sad
hi * horse hid entered.The latter , when
he heard the voices of our men , cam ?
straight up to us , and appeared surprised
to find us so far beyond the trench. When
he heard of the orders about shooting at
the flrst head we saw he * mtled and said :
" 'That is the first I've heard of the or
ders. They were probably Issued while I
was away on a little reconnoitring on my
own hook. '
"He spoke cheerlngly to the men about
and passed on , little thinking how near h * >
was to death a few minutes before. The
more we thought of it after he passed th
more in the dumps we got , for everyone of
us loved the colonel of the Rough Riders ,
particularly for his kindneis to his men ,
and I tell you it was a gloomy crowd that
eat there watching Johnson , who , with hi *
head supported by his hinds , was either
praying or thinking hard.
"We were relieved shortly afterward , and
as we marched back In silence Johnson
walked with bowed head and none of us
spoke to him , for we imagined that he felt
a * If he would like to be alone. From that
day Johnson showed a restlessness that was
new to him , and I never saw him so happy
as the day he stepped aboard the tranzpsrt
bound for home.
"I don't know whether any word of the
affair ever reached Colonel Roosevelt's
ears , but It was a mighty narrow escape ,
and I tell you that I would rather have
twenty-five Spaniards with a bead on me at
100 yards than for Johnson to pick me out
for a target at 300 yards. In the first case
you would hsve a good chance of escaping
Injury , but with Johnson shooting it wt * a
clear case of cashing In your chips. "
FORTIFIED MONASTERY.
Where the Monk * Hhotred Contempt
for OrltUh Attack * .
For a country the ruler of which holds
such emphatic view * on the eubject of uni
versal peace , Russia holds the strongest
fortified Institution In the world. It I * the
monastery of Solovetsk snd If any military
experts desire points as to the best method
of protecting vital spots they can do no
better than pay a visit to this abode of
monks and take a few lessons In practical
defense from the practical brethren who
live there.
Granite bowlder * form the chief protection.
They are arranged in a formidable circle
completely enclosing the monastery. At no
point in the solid wall could the attacks ot
an enemy make an Impression. The huge
rocks make a line nearly a mile In circum
ference.
It was during the period of the Crimea *
war that the strength of the fortifications
was tested and proved. The walls and the
towers held huge guns and the men behind
the guns knew their business , which was to
pour a flre Into the British White sea aqutd-
ron. The monastery , which consists of six
churches , held a valuable store of precious
stones and statuary. The monks did not
remain Inside during the shelling of their
home , but coolly walked around the ledges
of the granite walls' ' to show their Indif
ference to the work of the attacking force * .
