ment was perhaps the most intense of the whole campaign. There was
no cheering and that was the best of it. It is hard to understand this,
but the occasion was too big for mere shouting, and infinitely too
solemn. I have heard the "Miserere" in the Sistine Chapel, and in
comparison with the raising of the flag over the city of Santiago it was
opera comique.

For perhaps a full minute we stood with bared heads reverently watching
the great flag as it strained in the breeze that, curiously enough, was
now steady and strong, watching it as it strained and stiffened and grew
out broader and broader over the conquered city till you believed the
glory of it and the splendor and radiance of it must go flashing off
there over those leagues of tumbling water till it blazed like a comet
over Madrid itself.

And the great names came to the mind again--Lexington, Trenton,
Yorktown, 1812, Chapultepec, Mexico, Shiloh, Gettysburg, the Wilderness,
Appomattox, and now--Guasima, San Juan, El Caney, Santiago.
