cheek, crushing the ujtper Jawbone, and
jrothor had scored through his cheek on
the right side, and carried away a part
of his ear. "Only a scratch, sir," and this

a any wonder, therefore, that the insur
jents fled before such men?
And Private Juel Kasper drags a broken

Maj. Edward McConnville, who had
served as a private in the Civil
War. and who had since spent many years
in the regular service, as a private and
non-commissioned officer, and who at one
time carried a musket under Gen. Ander
son, now finds himself a major, under the
same general, undoubtedly the oldest man
on the battlefield. And his battalion look
ed on him as a father and a patriarch.
Tills veteran was a little deaf, so that
he misunderstood an order of Gen. King.
For this he was slightly reprimanded, and
then after all his orders were put in writ

On the day of the battle—that fateful
July Sunday—his face scarred, and wrink-
M, nn.l bronzed, by his long service, was
agiow. He was in his element. He was
ordered to take his battalion of the heroic
First Idaho, charge El Paco, and drive
the insurgents from their stronghold, to
the river. With a cheery, "All right, Gen
m."„he hastened to the lead of his
"boys,” and with unusal vigor gave the
order to advance. With genuine cowboy
yells, the battalion—McConnville in the

A Memory of ltrave Gilmore and Mis
Men.
One of the saddest incidents of the war
in the Philippines was the capture of
Kieiit. Gilmore and his boat’s crew of the
L nited States steamer Yorktown. For
many days their fate was uncertain. Then
it became known that the party had been
ambushed—one or two killed—and captur
ed.
It sounds like a romance to read the se
quel of the imprisonment of these valiant
men. A\ here they had been taken no one
knew, until Gen. Lawton's forces captur
ed San Isidro, a town to the northwest
of Manila. Then, as the victorious sol
diers went through the town, they entered
the city prison, or “quartel.” They re
leased a few natives who had been placed
there for some crime. In a large room In
the quartel they found several articles
which had undoubtedly belonged to Amer
ican sailors, and a further search reveal
ed on the grimy, soot-stained wall several
names of the American party of Lieut.
Gilmore. These names were scratched in
the once white W'all with a sharp instru
ment, and they were in some cases very
illegible, so that only eight names were
distinctly read. They were of the York
town’s men!
Then, on the 3d of April, at the capture
of San Isidro, these heroes were undoubt
edly alive.
On July 7 sixty Spanish prisoners came
in from the insurgent lines, under truce,
and were fed and housed at San Fernan
do until the train took them to Manila.
They said that there were several Amer
ican prisoners in Aguinaldo s elutenes; that
they were cruelly treated, and forced to
do menial service for Aguinaldo’s officers
and men.
In my position at San Fernando as su
perintendent of the mails, I had only to
walk a mile and I could hear the jeering
of the insurgents as they sat on their
trench wails. At night the phlt of the
mil the answering phit of the
Krag-Jorgensen were kept up for hours,
and many of the Mauser bullets came un
pleasantly near.
It was a curious sight to behold the
fighters so near each other and the order,
holding good in ail our lines, to fire over
their heads. Once in a while a soldier is
shot; but what does that matter to Gen.
Otis, who should long ago have been put
in charge of a Dorcas Society.
The mode of warfare ordered from the
commanding general will never bring
peace, nor will it bring freedom to the
poor enslaved American prisoners.
Let Gen. Lawton alone, and he would
wipe out of existence the fanatical na
tives who surrounded San Fernando.
Horrors of W ar,
To one newly arrived in the Philippine
Islands, the horrors of the late fighting
are more pronounced than to one who has
seen the occurrence. On every hand, m
city and village, in mountain and valley,
and about the railway stations, are seen
the devastations and ruin brought on by
the treachery of the Filipinos, who have
been misled by that arch scoundrel, Agui
naldo. AVords written nor words spoken
can depict the awful scenes of desolation
since the opening of hostilities. Churches
ini crumbling ruins, great piles of rice
burnt, thousands of tons of sugar now
ruined by dirt and water, and in a store
house from which I received fdmlture for
the postofflee at San Fernando, dozens of
tine pianos, tables, chairs, mirrors and
furniture of all kinds'and qualities utter
ly destroyed.
As this is the doing of the Filipinoe,
they will feel the loss more acutely than
if our victorious soldiers had looted the
places. And now what is the outoome?
Those who kept out of the insurrecto
army, the Pampangas and Macabeebes—
said to be "Amigos” to the Americans—
are in a starving condition, and they are
glad, very glad, to come to their victo
rious conquerors for food—the American
hog, whom they were so lately taught
to despise by their "great General.” That
their unfortunate condition is solely their
own fault is beyond question. Like Cuba
and Porto Rico, these people have now to
be fed by this much enduring, famine
helping, charitable country. The Filipinos
who are peacefully inclined—and they afe
but few—are beginning lo plow their wa
tery rice fields and again grow their great
food staple in sections well guarded, while
the greater portion of the level rice coun
try is useless, on account of the closeness
of the insurrectos and their constant har
rassing raids on their own people, from
whom they take everything to support the
army of Aguinaldo.
The natives of San Fernando, and they
number quite a population, have a curi
ous way of becoming invisible on certain
days. On the day before the usual night
attacks, which used to be a regular week
ly occurrence in June and July of the
present year, the streets were usually de
pleted of all males. The next day they
would appear at their usual vocation, that
of sauntering about. They were slightly
suspicioned of having been over the line
helping Mr. Aguinaldo to fight, but the
general officers had orders, and only the
privates would catch one now and then,
turn back his only garment, a shirt, and
see the bruise of the kicking Remington
or Maucer. These are facts, and they
plow up many of the bones of their breth
ren who died on the “march to Malolos— ’•
died either from fright, heart failure or
Krag-Jorgensen.
BISHOP CHATAHD AT THE VATICAN,
A Priest Well Known In Savannah
Visits the Pope.
Rome Cable In New York Herald.
The Pope received a few days ago the
American Bishop Dr. Chaiard, the ordi
nary of Indianapolis, Ind. This prelate is
80 years of age and had an apoplectic at
tack two months ago.
The Tope was very anxious to know
what impression the condemnation of
Americanism had made on the other side
of the Atlantic, but I doubt whether he
was able to obtain much Information on
the subject from the bishop, who, when
a correspondent sought to interview him
two or three days ago on the shbject of a
petition to President McKinley in favor
of lhe Transvaal, replied that he could
not answer, as his doctor had forbidden
him to do anything that would fatigue his
brain.
—The rich old man wooes the mercenary
young girl.
”1 am,” he protests finally, “a consist

Here the girl laughs derisively, for re

“Scientist,” adds the old man, finishing
his sentence. It is at this point that the
mercenary young girl throws herself with
a glad cry upon the rich old man’s neck,
deeming it likely that he will die about
the first time he gets sick.—Detroit Jour

CALIFORNIANS ON A MOUNTAIN.
Decided to Shoot Each Other Rather
Than Die In the Flames—Struck a
Trail in Time to Evade Both Al
ternatives—With Coats AYrapped
About Their Heads They Dashed
Tbrough to Safety.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
"We were completely surrounded by the
raging Are and agreed that rather than
be burned to death we would blow each
other's brains out,” said George Hely
roann of San Diego to an Examiner repre
sentative.
Young Heylmann and his companion,
Fletcher Courtney, have Just returned
from and outing on Pakimar mountain, ln
San Diego county, where they had an ex
perience that would have caused the hair
on an ordinary man’s head to turn gray.
“Courtney and I left the city about two
weeks ago,” said Heylmann? “for the pur
pose of taking an outing and prospecting
trip on Palomar mountain. AA'e bought a
burro to carry our provisions and outfit
and walked all the way, a distance of
about sixty-five miles. A\ r e arrived at the
mountain without mishap and stayed for
a day or two with a party of campers who
had pitched their tents in Doane's valley,
on the south side of the mountain. A\ r e de
cided to push on up the mountain and,
leaving some of our clothes with the
camping party, started out.
"Crossing French valley, we came to
Hoolacoot canyon, where we struck camp.
This was far up ort the side of the moun
tain. Fierce forest tires were raging on
the other side and were crawling nearer
to the top every moment. That morning
the flames appeared on the summit and
presented a grand spectacle as they shot
up the pine trees 100 feet or more. Jump
ing from' tree to tree and through the
dense brush, the fire swept on with a roar
that would have drowned the thunder of
the ocean. The mass of flames was crown
ed by a dense volume of smoke.
Getting Nenrer to Danger.
"In order to get a better view of the
magnificent sight we decided to climb fur
ther up the mountain. Thinking that the
flames would scare out the game in the
brush, we took our guns along, perhaps to
brng down a deer or mountain lion. AVe
left our tents, provisions and burro be
hind and started on the ascent. The brush
was so thick that it was necessary for us
to crawl on our hands and knees the
greater part of the way. Occasionally we
would s'and up to get our bearings, but
as the Are appeared to be a considerable
distance away we did not think of dan
ger.
"Imagine our horror when, after a crawl
of about thirty yards, we rose to our feet
and saw that we were completely sur
rounded by lire. The wind had carried the
burning brands over our heads into the
brush below. The unburned area In which
we were imprisoned was about 150 feet in
diameter and was being lessened every
moment. As the flames drew nfarer the
heat became intense and the smoke suffo
cating. AVe did not know which way to
turn. The devouring flames hemmed us
in on al! sides and there was no avenue
of escape. Nearer and nearer drew our
hope of getting out of our trap alive.
“The heat became unbearable. AVe had
to cover our faces to keep them from blis
tering. The smoke was so dense that we
could hardly see. I was ready to give up in
despair and shouted to Courtney:
“ Let's shoot each other rather than be
burned. I had much rather die suddenly
than be tortured.’
"Courtney had a wild, scared expression
on his face as he shouted back:
“ ‘We'll blow out each other’s brains.’
I’atli That Led to Safety.
"We were in earnest. I cannot describe
our feelings at that moment. I thought
that death was near and I grew frantic.
The flames drove us back, but we had to
go slowly on account of the density of the
brush. We had not retreated more than a
few feet when to our Joy we came upon n
narrow trail, leading down the side of the
mountain. We could see the flames shoot
ing across it from both sides some dis
tance below, but it offered us an oppor
tunity to run for our lives, which we could
not have done in the thick brush. It was
the only hope of escape and we decided to
take it. We realized that we might be
roasted by the flames, but we valued life
dearly and were not going to give up with
out an effort to get free.
"We had to act quickly, as there was no
time lo lie lost. Hastily pulling off our
coats, we tied them about our heads, leav
ing only an opening large enough for us to
see the way. This took only a moment
and we started at the top of our speed
down the trait. I was in the lead and
Courtney was close behind. It was only
a short distance to the flames, and as we
drew near we were almost roasted by the
heat. A\"e kept right on through, and if
anything increased our speed. There was
no turning back then. Closing my eyes,
I p’unged into the midst of the fire.
“It was all over in a moment. For
tunately I had on a canvas suit, and I
think this saved my life. It caught fire
in one or two places, but was easily ex
tinguished. It was so badly scorched,
however, that the whole cloth turned
brown. I was in a place of safety, and
thanked heaven for the deliverance.
One Fngitive Badly Burned.
"Courtney was not quite so successful.
When about to dash through the flames
he stumbled over a rock and fell to the
ground. His hands were badly scorched
by the burning embers and his gun was
broken on a rock. He did not stop to pick
up his gun, but Jumped lo his feet in a
moment and was off through the flames.
He was soon by my side and, save for
his burned hands, was uninjured. Just
before we entered that line of fire a tall
pine tree fell near us and scatter'd burn,
ing brands all over us, and I think it was
miraculous that our clothes did not bum
more than they did. We got out Just in
time, too, for three minutes afterward the
whole area had been swept over by fire.
"We lost no time in getting down to our
ramp, but found that the fire had been
there, too. Our tent and provisions were
a pile of ashes and our burro was no
where ln sight. The animal either broke
the rope with which it was picketed or
the fire released it.
"There was nothing to keep us there, so
we went over to Doane’s valley, got the
clothes which we left there, and started on
foot to catch the stage for San Diego. We
walked to Valley Center, a distance of
twenty-five miles, where we managed to
catch a ride to lhe city. It was cerfttlnly
a terrible experience, and I do not care
to pass through another like It.”
BRIDGES MADE OF BAMBOO.
How Onr Soldiers in the Philippines
Crossed the Iloilo.
Maj. B. F. Cheatham in Engineering
News.
The Iloilo river at Molo Is 290 feet wide,
20 feet deep and has a difference in eleva
tion at high and low tide of 3Vz feet. The
orders were to “build a bridge sufficient
ly strong for infantry and light artillery
to cross; to build it quickly and cheaply.”
As there was no other material available,
it was decided to use bamboo exclusively,
and ln the entire structure nothing else
was used—not even a nail or a piece of
wire.

in bundles of fifteen and tightly bound
with rattan. These bundles supplied the
buoyancy for the bridge, and were placed
ten feet apart, parallel to the current.
They were held in this position by four
stringers, which were securely lashed to
the bundles, so as to form a foundation
for the roadway, ten feet wide. On these
stringers were placed small bamboo, cut
ten feet long, each piece being tied to the
springers by the invaluable rattan. Over
these poles was laid a rough malting wo
ven from split bamboo, which made an
even surface strong enough to support n
horse.
A sufficient quantity of bamboo was not
on hand at the start, and the work was
delayed somewhat in consequence; but the
bridge was completed in four days by ten
native workmen. The total cost for ma
terial and labor was $125. The banks at
the place selected were one and a half feet
higher than the water at high tide. In
order to allow carts to cross at all times,
aprons were made of bamboo, one end fasl
tened to the bank and the other allowed
to slip along two pieces of plank, placed
on the bridge for that purpose. The
bridge was guyed so as to allow It to rise
and fall with the tide.
The success of this bridge would seem
to solve a problem here, and our experi
ence shows conclusively that with plenty
of bamboo on hand a regiment can cross
any river here in four hours’ time.
WILL USE THE CAMERA IN WIR,
Enemy’s Position to Be Located By
Means of Photographs.
From the New A'ork Times.
London, Nov. ll.—lt is learned that one
of the most remarkable Innovations in
warfare will shortly lie tested in South
Africa. Lieut. Foulkes, a young officer of
the royal engineers, sailed for Cape Town
Oct. 11 to put photographs to utes hither
to considered impracticable, which, if suc
cessful, will revolutionize the methods of
military reconnaissance. Briefly summed
up, Foulk< s’s proposition Is to indicate the
exact position and formadon of the Boers
by means of telephoto pictures.
He takes out an equipment of his own
invention and i3 attached to Gen. Buller’s
staff. Heretofore reconnoiterlng parties
have returned from that hazardous duty
with only a roughly sketched map show
ing the general dlstrlbu lon of the Boer
lines. It is hoi ed heie that these will now
be superseded by photographs, more accu
rate and secured al less danger, the tele
photo len3 not necessitating such near ap
proach to the enemy.
The main objection to the plan Is the
time occupied ln developing (he pho’oi.ard
this is said to have been overcome by
Foulkes’ method, as during the trials he
had prints ready in seven minutes after
focusing. It is also thought that photo3
thus secured wifi be of g eat value in ver
ifying routes and preventing columns fiom
losing their way, also rendering them prac
tically independent of guides when ad
vancing on unknown ground. Foulkes car
ries his entire equipment In his own anl
orderly’s bicycles. The camera is a sim
ple-looking affair, for handwork, but It Is
fitted with the most extensive scientific
devices. The few military experts who
know the object of l'ouikes' mission ore
looking forward with keen interest to the
spectacle of battle plans being formed on
photogiaphs taken, developed, and print
ed at the furthest outpost, probably with
in easy range of the Boers.
Foulk-s carries a Mauser, a revolver, and

THIS VOTING MAI'HTNRS.
Results of Their Imo in New York
Slnto Generally Satisfactory.
From the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat.
In the elections on Tuesday, Nov. 7. 225
Standard voting machines were used in
this state, distributed as follows: Buffalo,
108; Rochester. 73; Utica, 26; Ithaca, 10; Al
bion, 5; Canlsteo, 2. and Wet* Winfield, 1.
Extra machines, held in reserve to meet
accidents or other emergencies, ore not In
cluded In the enumeration.
High praises of the machines come from
all quarters. They have met every promise
of convenience to voters, speed in voting,
automatic and Instantaneous footings of
the total number of votes cast for each
candidate, and a promptness in announcing
the aggregate result in a city or village
proportioned to the quickness with which
the returns from each district were con
veyed to a centra! point and tabulated.
Tthaca seems to be the banner town in this
last respect, with a record of seventeen
minutes in gathering and adding the fig
ures from ten machines.
Of the 225 machines used, mishaps were
reported to only seven, and these were due
in three cases to malicious vandalism and
breakage by violence; in three cases (o a
misplacement of keys by election officers,
delaying the unlocking of the machines
promptly at the appointed time on ejec
tion morning, and in one case to the
strong arm of an ignorant fellow who gave
the voting lever a tierce wrench in the
wrong direction. In none of these cases
was a serious delay caused, nor did a sin
gle citizen lose his vote.
In addition to their speed and accuracy,
the machines are so constructed as to make
it Impossible to cast a defective vote, io
"repeat.” or to commit any fraud or Ir
regularity. On the score of guaranteeing
to every citizen the exercise of the voting
privilege without risk of disfranchisement
on account of blunders, the machines
seem absolutely perfect. Their superior
ity to the official ballot In this respect Is
plain and striking, and is demons!iated by
official records.
All in all, the voting machine is one of
the inventive triumphs of the age, and il
is as sure, in the near future, to displace
the printed ballot as steam has proved to
be in putting out of date the stage coach
and the packet boat.
