U Kilmer.] Hmore hits re other vessel In ly one whi c h ha. a man kill the first to draw Spanish fire, the flagship of the commodore cora manding and the signaling of "a — =s ' orders for bat tle—this Is the Story of the cruiser Brooklyn In the battle which wiped out the Spanish navy In the West Indies. It has been given to but few warships to be the center figure of events so stirring and so momentous and survive the battle. Tet five minutes before the ball open ed all was so even and commonplace that Commodore Schley, lounging easi ly on the Brooklyn’s quarter deck, yawned and said, "This is pretty ■low.” Captain Cook was Id his cabin getting out his parade clothes for a general muster. Suddenly he heard the executive officer above call onL "Clear ship for action!” Knowing from the officers tone that the command meant business. Captain Cook rushed to the bridge and was told that the enamy's ships were coming out. Od a platform In front of the conning tower Captain Cook found Schlev, with aids and signalmen around him, giving bat tle orders to the fleet. So quickly- had the yawning bored sailor changed to a fighting sod of Neptune. At the first sound of alarm from the outlook the Commodore grablied his glass and started for the tower. On the way he called to the signal offi cers: "Signal 'The enemy is escaping!’ ” and "Signal the fleet to ‘Clear ship!’ ” Just as Schley reached the tower the lowa’s first gun boomed, and the com modore says that In exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds from the time the first signal flew every American ship on the scene was firing at the Spanish column. Yet the Spanish exit was to all purposes a surprise as far the alert Yankees can be surprised. It was a quiet Sunday hour. The commander in chief had sailed away, telling the ships on guard to disregard his movements— clear proof that In the cabins of the blockaders the forenoon of Sunday, July 3, was held to be an off hour for sailors. It was Indeed a sharp alarm for the American sailors, but they fell to the work of smashing Spain with more Tim than they would have done at the end of a long period of strain of anx ious watching. A correspondent on the Brooklyn says that when Captain Cook came on deck he called out, "Full speed ahead!” and at that In stant the forward 8 Inch guua of the ship boomed as echoes to the lown, which had got In the first shot. This was barely three minutes from the time the escaping fleet was sighted. The celerity of movement on the Brooklyn astonished the correspond ent, who was familiar with the ship at all times, except In action. “What to a layman,” he says, “seemed the direst pandemonium and disorder was the finest of discipline and the acme of order. That men flew by, dropping their shirts as they ran, that orders Jlew thick and fast and that men and officers seemed tumbling over one an other was no criterion. That every gun was ready to shoot, that the fire had been started under four flesh boilers, that every battle hatch had •been lowered, that every watertight compartment was closed, that ammu nition was ready for the reloading of the guns, that the Are pumps were on and the decks wet down and that ev try man of 800 was In the place as signed him for battle completes an in disputable miracle.” When the Brooklyn opened fire on Cervera’s flagship, the Marla Teresa, the range was 1,500 yards. The Span lard held to her course, but the Brook lyn turned Blowly, firing first from her port battery, then from her star board. The Brooklyn was In lead of the fleet because the Spaniards turn ing westward steamed toward her while the Brooklyn’s consorts were left behind by Cervera’s movement west Commodore Schley says that the first few moments decided the battle. He gave the fleet orders to close In, and the ready American ships dashed for the Spaniards like a pack of hounds. Cervera knew the kind of enemy he bad In front, for after passing a certain point of land he swung his ship and opened on the Brooklyn. She was the fleetest American In the line and des tined leader of the chase, and If he could cut her down by shell or ram bis chances of escape would be dou bled. Schley said that the ocean sur face looked like a mill pond during a Personally this did not Im press him until Chief Yeoman Ellis .was killed alongside of him and a searchlight smashed at his elbow by Spanish shells. He was watching the battle and directing movements. .Within 29 minutes of the appearance of the Spaniards four of their ships had been annihilated. After that he could pay attention to matters close at band. Schley's advice to Captain Cook of tha Brooklyn when the Spaniard ap pnarrd was, "Have your rapid tire (una ready for those fellows ” When 4>a saw the Vizcaya break from her westward course and steer for tbe Brooklyn he shouted, "Put your helm hard a-port!” aud the ship began that movement on a loop which has caused so much speculation. When the swing lag movement brought the starboard fans to bear Schley cautioned the ship captain to tell "the men to Are de Überatel.v and make every shot tell.” Before tbe starboard guns were out •f range the Teresa had turned Inshore in flames. This left the Vizcaya In the lead with the Colon aud Oquendo Hu faring behind to cover the torpedo Boats All three fired at the Brooklyn, nan followed a running fight of 54 minutes, Schley says, during which the Brooklyn was ayuck lUO flint's.

Lowell, Matt. - I'.uc oi uit* teresa ami the crc.v ul tin* Brooklyn redou bled tlu'lr oiTorls to finish the business. Although the Oregon and Texas were up ami pounding the Spaniards, the fight lietwoeu the ’Vizcay a and Ilrook fvn was a square naval set to. Still tin* ships were not matched. The Viz caya's armorplate was double the thickness of the Brooklyn and her guns heavier. Officers aud crew on the Brooklyn seemed delighted although anxious when the fight lay between them. Schley sakl to Captain Cook, “Get lu close. Cook, ami we’ll fix her.” A turn of the helm brought the Brook lyn within 950 yards, and the 8 and 5 Inch guns threw out clouds of smoke bo dense that the ships could barely see each other. When the smoke cleared the Vizcaya was turning Inshore and all the gun ners had been driven from the exposed chambers by the Brooklyn's terrible fire. With one spasm of motion which seemed an effort to ram tlie Brooklyn, the dimmed Vizcaya turned to the ene my, but soon put about aud ran ashore. Meanwhile the Colon, passing Inside the vessels which took all the punish ment from the American guns, had sped on out of range. Schley signaled the Texas to look out for the sinking ship and ordered all speed on the Brooklyn lu chase of the Colon. He said that he felt as Nelson did at Trafalgar that victory would be In complete if one vessel got away. As It was to be a loug run, he told Cook to let the men go to dinner. As the Brooklyn drew near the Colon fired her* after guns at her, but the men paid no attention and finished their meal under fire. Schley watched the game of chase like a hound lu leash. As the Brooklyn began to gain so that It was evident she would catch up with the fleeing Colon he said, “We may be able to wing that fellow and then Clark (Oregon) ami Phillip (Texas) will get a show at him, even If he sinks us.” The Colon had a speed of 19% knots, and the Brooklyn could make but 17. However, Schley saw that the Span iard was so close inshore that in or der to clear a cape ahead she would have to run miles to seaward, thereby losing headway. The Brooklyn held her course two miles offshore ready to Intercept should the Spaniard at tempt to come out. Schley signaled to the Oregon to try one of those heavy shells known as “railroad trains.” lt was a 13 Inch projectile fired at 8,900 yards and, In passing the Brooklyn, sounded like a railway train rushing through space. It lauded astern the Colon, aud the Brooklyn sent an 8 Inch the »am« dis tance ahead of her. Schley signaled to Clark of the Oregon where the shell of the latter had struck, and Clark did the same for the Brooklyn. The shots were repeated, that of the OregoD passing through the Colon fore and aft and the Brooklyn's exploding In her cabin, making a fearful wreck. The Colon immediately fired a gun to the leeward, struck her colors and headed for the beach, third and last victim of the Brooklyn’s guns, which fired that day 1,978 shots. Schley seat Captain Cook of the Brooklyn on t>oard the Colon to de- m> maud nneondi tional surrender.

It was really a relegation of the victors to the rear, but Schley and 11. • ship’s crew took it cheerfully, with the feeling, says the commodore, •‘that there was not anything which carried the Spanish flag that day that dared come within battery range of the Brooklyn.” The scars ou the Spaniards showed that this was not a vain ls>ast. One half of the principal shots which de eiiuycti me enemy came rrom tne Brooklyn’s five Inch guns. With these she hit the Teresa 6 times, the Oquen do 5. the Vizcaya <5 and the Colon 4. According to the report of the experts the only lilts on the Colon wreck were from the Brooklyn. In that case, she alone destroyed the one vessel which had a show of escape. She also finish ed the Vizcaya, the best fighter In Cer vera's squadron. Gkoroe L. Kii.mlk. In T)iarrho*a Dr. M. A.Simmons Liv er Medicine is invsluable.

I„ Kilmer.] only after tlie 'vxr C—colonel was " dead did tlie men realize wliat a soldier be was aud how comidoteiy the leader makes or mars a command. It was the old story over again with the Nebraskans and their soldierly colonel. He was a West Pointer, a regular with a good record who had been picked out by some out: in author ity to lead the first soldiers of Ne braska in battle. Like all novices, the soldiers thought all considerations should weigh except the essential one of discipline. Perhaps they wanted a lenient, colonel to give them a good time; perhaps a bamlhox soldier to show off aud to show them off before schoolboys aud women. Of course the volunteers didn't know the kind of man fortune and official good sense had sent them, but when he was dead on the field of battle they found out that he had died doing a little repetition act In the line of dar ing needs. Here’s a little scene from the campaign against Victoria and hlg Arizona Apaches In the eighties, with Stotsenburg at the forefront. The Apaches had a splendid position, and with carbines were giving a troop of colored cavalry, which had cut Into their trail, a hot time. In fact, the ne groes were surprised at the Apache tactics and on the point of getting away from them when Stotsenburg dashed In from an opposite side of the plain on the flank of the Indians. Tne modest soldier always declared that he didn't know there were any Indians in that part of the country, or he would have taken another route. If this Is true, he must have been sur prised when he and a sergeant and eight troopers ran plump Into 40 Apaches In a close gully. The first hostile shot knocked the sergeant over, and tlie troopers took to cover like good border fighters. Stotsenburg, however, picked up his wounded man and carried him to shelter behind a bowlder. “Then,” said a comrade of those days, “he turned In with his handful of men and conducted a campaign of his own for the benefit of an arroya full of Apaches. The rest of his regi ment came up in time to bury the In dians.” The next scene shows Colonel Stot senburg coming to the rescue of com rades In the Philippines. One day when Stotsenburg was absent from his command in Manila the famous scout ing detachment of Major Bell discov ered a Filipino ambush cleverly laid in horseshoe form and encircling a rlce fleld at the edge of a wood. Bell had but 40 men, and one was killed and five wounded at the first Filipino vol ley. The Americans skirmished for points, then, finding themselves outnumbered, retired, closely followed by insurgents. The wounded were carried along and two of their bearers hit In this service, but the body of the dead scout was left within the Insurgent lines. Major Bell asked for help to recover the body and punish the Filipinos, but the Nebraska battalion which came up in response was checked by the enemy’s volleys from behind well laid trenches. Artillery was then sent for, aud while waiting the sun prostrated more men than Filipino bullets. It was a dead lock, with the Fllipiaos holding the best end. Then Stotsenburg came to the front and was hailed, much like Sheridan at Cedar Creek, with the en thusiastic cheers of his men. They had learned that he was the man for any crisis. The colonel was quickly followed by the Second battalion, which he had ordered forward as he passed through camp, and he at once led a charge of the whole force. Colonel Stotsenburg went in at the head of the line aud was shot dead, with a bullet through the breast, before he reached the Insurgent trenches. The Nebraskans rushed on fiercer than ever after the fall of their colouel, and Just as they mounted the works the Fili pinos broke and ran. The result of the charge was to clear the enemy from the jungle aud open u road to Malolos. It cost the Nebraskans 10 per cent of their number, and the death of ono who was a “lion in battle." A Nebraskan fired the first shot in the Filipino war, and no doubt the time ly aggressiveness of the officers and men of the regiment staved off a sud den uprising and massacre of Ameri can troops. The day before the out break Colonel Stotsenburg was insult ed by an ugly tempered Filipino officer and was compelled to order his post occupied by one of his own squads. The Filipino tried to get possession of the post without fighting for it, but the colonel was firm, and at night the fel low came back with a following to pit against a sergeant’s squad. The maiu sentry, Private Grayson of Company D, halted the natives, but they kept on and made menacing motions with (Continued on seventh column.) O. A. NIX, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW. Office-Crogan *t.

It is a common mistake to regard ThlC Coorflll Hicosco • roughness and redness of the skin as • 1110 rCflllUl UloGQoGi merely a local irritation ;it is but an indica tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin; the only way to reaeh the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: “I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me fL constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and iP J began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have gl jJuSfo been treated by some of the best physicians and have V PsLvMy: taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take 8. 8. 8., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the mi way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing Sfl v 8. 8. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly.” V Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease —and wfll core the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eezema, Scrofula, Contagions Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, ete. .Insist upon S.

After the natives had Ignored a second challenge Grayson shot the leader anil one man dead. Grayson's shot aroused the camp, and the whole regiment was quickly In arms. The men knew by the tem per of the Filipinos what would follow an outbreak, before The bugle ceased sounding the companies were on the march from their quarters to their sta tions in line. After a silence of lit) minutes the Filipino Mausers began to crack, and the supplementary war in the Philippines was on. For days the bushwhacking strug gle went on around Manila. The Ne braskans cleared the natives out of the territory between the waterworks and the city. Colonel Stotsenburg proved to the men that the powers that be made no mistake In appointing him their leader. He was at the head of every foray' and attack and a master hand In war. One dictum from his headquarters fixed his status as a commander for the field. He declared that the men must be fed fully and regularly no matter how far they were from the commissary base and that nothing in the island of Luzon should prevent it. An orderly who stood by the colonel throughout the first struggle says: “For 17 hours Saturday night and Sun day I was under an almost continuous fire and right at the front all the time. Saturday night the sharpshooters made It so hot for me that when tue moon came out I was compelled to lie flat in the mud in the buffalo wallows. Several times they came so close to my ear that the poor old drums rang like doorbells from the concussion. I lost my hat. and once, when crossing an open spot with the colonel, one of the bullets just ticked across the top of my head, making, my hair jump up straight like a patch of w'ceds. That yvas my closest call. I used to wail because I am not six feet tall. If I had been a six footer, 1 would have been shot through the head.” Private Towle belougs to the Omaha company known as the Thurston Ri fles. This company has had many lively adventures since the Filipino outbreak. When the line was ordered forward to clear the country and drivs the natives from their works around Manila, the Thurstons were In the ad vance guard and struck the insurgent strongholds first. At one point, In their eagerness to close with the enemy, they nearly ran upon an ugly ambush, but their leader, Captain “Buck” Tay lor, saw the danger, ordered his men t» lie down, then to withdraw. Taking this for a sign that the Americans were retreating, the natives rushed Private Lawton. Sergeant Poor. Private Whittemore. KtLLKIJ AT MANILA. forward and received a dose of their own medicine. At the right moment the Omaha boys arose and poured a fearful fire into the Filipiuos. Another member of the Rifles, Pri vate William J. Koopman, with a Mauser hole through the shoulder, writes under date of April 4 about the week of battles which began on March 25. The western idea of a “good Indiun” lias been applied to the na tives. and Koopman tells how the American volunteers made some “2,000 good niggers” in their march of 39 miles from Manila to Malabon and Malolos. He says his regiment was on the tiring line from start to finish and lost 120 killed and wounded. This was the heaviest loss of any regiment in the Philippines. The Thurstons had the right of the regiment. It started with 60 men and 3 officers and finish ed with 21 men and no officers. Koop man tells how Captain Taylor, himself and six others were wounded In at tacking a hill crowned with a stone trench. The company charged across an open ricefleld, fucing volleys of bullets all the way. Captain Taylor and 7 men were hit, but there were 16 “good niggers” in the trench on the crest to square the blood account. Koopman declares that there are no war clubs and bows and arrows in the Filipino war. The whole country is covered with breastworks and trenches well laid with open fields in front. Furthermore, Koopman says, the in surgents “are fighting with better guns than we have and they shoot lead and steel.” It seems that the Americans do the clubbing when the natives allow them to get near enough. Captain Tay lor was shot while in the act of club bing a Filipino, and his brother, Ser geant Taylor, was beside him imitat ing his example. Up to June 1 the tally list shows 225 killed and wounded in the First Ne braska. The original roster was 1,200. In the latter actions there have been less than 400 on the firing line. The battles of the regiment include the stand against the attack on Manila, the triumphant march through the Filipino camps and villages, in Febru ary; the battles before Malolos and San Fernando and the bloody attack on Calumpi*.
