Under the auspices of the Sociedad Espanola, Colonel Charles K. Darling, of the 6th Massachusetts, U. S. V., gave last night, in the Fogg Lecture Room, an illustrated lecture on "The Puerto Rican Campaign of the Spanish-American War in 1898." The lecturer described the landing of the troops on the Island and the skirmish which took place immediately afterwards. He then outlined the campaign that had been planned for the conquest of Puerto Rico and told of General Stone's march across the island. After narrating the progress of his own column from the coast village of Guanica, where the troops landed, to Utnado, Arecibo, and San Juan, the lecturer described his second visit to the Island, the journey from San Juan to Arecibo, Utnado and Ponce, and the return of San Juan by the military road.

After the lecture an informal reception was held in the Assembly Room of the Union for the members and prospective members of the Sociedad Espanola.
