COMPLIMENTARY ORDER.

     Headquarters 25th Infantry,

     Near Santiago de Cuba, August 11, 1898. 
     General Orders No. 19.

     prospect of its speedy return to the United States.

But commendable as the record cited may be, the brightest hours of your lives were on the afternoon of July 1.  Formed in battle array, you advanced to the stone fort against volleys therefrom, and rifle-pits in front, and against a galling fire from blockhouses, the church tower
