And the answer to the question is,

Teddy Roosevelt under "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, in Cuba.

During the Battle of San Juan Hill, on seeing the Spaniards breaking ranks and advancing to the rear, the old general forgot which war he was fighting and yelled out, "We've got the damn Yankees on the run!"

General Joe Wheeler died in 1906 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
