6. That the advance beyond the rest of the brigade was a bold and, without support, dangerous movement, but that the result justified the act. Had it failed I would have been held responsible. 7. That I saw at each stage of the battle what ought to be done, and did it. Results show that it was done at the right moment. 8. That the Twenty-fifth Infantry caused the surrender of the stone fort. I desire to repeat that it is with great reluctance that I make so much of this report as relates to myself, and nothing but a sense of duty would impel me to do it. Very respectfully, A.S. DAGGETT, Lieutenant-Colonel, Twenty-fifth Infantry, Commanding. LOSSES OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY. Killed.--Lieutenant H.L. McCorkle, Company G; Private Albert Strother, H; Private John W.

Headquarters 25th Infantry, Near Santiago de Cuba, August 11, 1898. General Orders No. 19. The regimental commander congratulates the regiment on the prospect of its speedy return to the United States. Gathered from three different stations, many of you strangers to each other, you assembled as a regiment for the first time in more than twenty-eight years on May 7, 1898, at Tampa, Florida. There you endeavored to solidify and prepare yourselves, as far as the oppressive weather would permit, for the work that appeared to be before you; but, who could have fortold the severity of that work?
