Shielded by a thick bit of timber at a turn of the road stands a company of mounted men, awaiting the order to advance. In the foreground, left by the flotsam of battle, is a dead horse, from the shelter of which two marksmen are picking off the enemy. Suddenly comes the command, "Forward" and the riders dash up the road, out of sight, leaving behind them a great cloud of dust and smoke. A detachment of infantry covers the advance, and volley repeatedly as they press forward, U. S. INFANTRY SUPPORTED BY ROUGH RIDERS AT EL CANEY. Up the road comes a detachment of infantry, firing, advancing, kneeling and firing, again and again. The advance of the foot soldiers is followed by a troop of Rough Riders, riding like demons, yelling and firing revolvers as they pass out of sight. Other troops follow in quick succession, pressing on to front. U. S. CRUISER "RALEIGH." A panoramic •view of the "Raleigh," as she lies at anchor off 27th Street, North River, April 17, 1899. Captain Coghlan stands among a group of officers, near the bridge. The "Raleigh" fired the first gun at Manila, and is the first boat of the Pacific Squadron visiting New York. All the details of this famous battleship are clearly shown as the launch from which the picture was taken moves rapidly around her. MORNING COLORS ON U. S. CRUSIER "RALEIGH." Shows a group of sailors and an officer at the stern. The flag runs out in a ball to the end of the staff, and, at the signal, is broken. Proudly the stars and stripes wave in the morning breeze, while the officer salutes. A very pretty picture of man-o-war life. PILOT BOATS IN NEW YORK HARBOR. A close view of an eighty-footer, schooner rigged, trim as a private yacht, skimming over the waters of the harbor, near Robin's Reef, which picturesque little light house is seen in the near background. A steamer decked with bunting also passes by at close range. 104TH ST. CURVE, NEW YORK ELEVATED RAILWAY. Taken from the front platform of a special train run backward over this celebrated S curve. Not only are the passing trains and crowded platforms of great interest, but the view of uptown New York is an excellent one, showing acre upon acre of roofs, towers, steeples and towering apartment houses. As the ' 'special' ' slows up at 92d Street, a Harlem express dashes by, the engineer leaning out of his cab, and waving a good-bye. NEW YORK POLICE PARADE. An excellent • view of "The Finest," on their annual parade and inspection, June 1, 1899. The head of the column is just turning into 14th Street from Broadway, the Morton House forming part of the background. Crowds line both sides of the cable car tracks, falling back as the band heading the first division swings around Dead . Man's Curve, and passes the camera. Chief Devery makes a fine showing ; as also do his men, with their white gloves and helmets, shining buttons and spick and span appearance in general.
