Here were assembled on the evening of Aug. 8, 1898, all the forces assigned to General Schwan, with the exception of Troop "A," Fifth Cavalry, which did not appear until some thirty hours later.

In the meantime Girdel continued to converse with the two gentlemen; Schwan went here and there, and Fanfaro, Caillette and Bobichel were waiting for the athlete's orders for the evening performance. "How goes it?" asked the carman, now softly. "Good," replied Girdel, in the same tone. "The peasants are prepared?" "Yes. The seed is ripe. They are only waiting for the order to begin to sow.

By command of Brigadier-General Schwan. Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General. The Second Day Ends A personal résumé of the fight Lack of melodramatic accompaniments A lost chance of glory Another neglected opportunity A glimpse of the flag Once more into camp.

General Wilson had sailed the day before from Charleston with 4,000 men, and General Schwan and his command sailed from Port Tampa two days later. The entire army of invasion numbered about eleven thousand men. The hardships on the transports were very great.

When Robeckal returned to the inn, Simon rushed in pale and trembling. He could hardly reply to the landlord's hurried questions; the words, "In the water the flood dead my poor master!" came from his trembling lips, and immediately afterward he sank to the floor unconscious. While Schwan was busy with him, the sound of a horse's hoofs was heard.

Nothing came of the suggestion; it was only a passing tribute to the abstract goodness of matrimony.

"No, there is no physician in Sainte-Ame, and Vagney is several miles distant." "No matter, I shall go to Vagney."

"He will soon be here," replied the marquis; "the horse ran away with me, and I could not hold him." "Then the brave fellow is not injured?" asked Schwan, vivaciously. "God forbid; quick, give me a glass of brandy and lead me to Girdel; I must speak to him at once."

Our brigade commander, General Theodore Schwan silent, upright, tall, and spare was regarded with affection and respect by every one who came into personal contact with him, officer and man alike. He was shrewd, clever, and distinguished, but never too busy or elevated to listen to the humblest soldier from the ranks, and from first to last a gentleman.
