Santiago campaign. It has certainly
been "done” thoroughly bothby the
ablest correspondents and the most

almost entirely neglected, and that is
l the hastily improvised field-hospital at
the “Bloody Ford” of San Juan Creek.
Behind the shelter of the creek bank,

' long hot day the surgeons moved about
exposed to the Mauser bullets, binding
up the wounds of the soldiers who
limped or were carried‘back, one by
