I fi - ?? How a Newspaper Man Fared 1?x <c A, Under Fire and What Ilecame ?J* of His Account of the Fight. *<ji *? _ ??* T? By JOSE DE A Ti AVAHES. lt .a* * *A *+-lrwttW*W*+HwW+Kwtt^^^*wttW* Clarence Addington was disconsolate almost to a degree of desperation. In very truth he believed his mental per turbation to be entirely without prece- j deuce. Moreover, the fact that his 14 ? companions, who. together with him self, constituted the correspondents' mess, were to a man in a similar frame of mind tended to vindicate rather than temper his dejectedness. Until yesterday a full month had elapsed since his arrival in tho Philippines-a mouth of hustling and scurrying from one outpost to nnother on the firing line in the interest of his paper-with out developing a single item of genuine interest. But yesterday a battle had been fought, a battle embracing all the elements of u splendid story. Ten hours of steady fighting, wherein ev ery foot of ground, lost or gained, had been stubbornly contested for by both sides; then the final indomitable ?charge by the American forces and the ' utter rout of the enemy. Ah, but it had been magnificent! ; Anti the opportunity had promised to j amply compensate for the tedious, I wearisome ordeal that had preceded it j Far into the ensuing night the enter- < prising scribes had toiled, reeling off their copy by the light of flickering, i close screened candles in anticipation j of being allowed the privilege of bur- ! rying the same to Manila for transmis- ; sion by cable to their various papers. But such expectations had early been thwarted, the general in command hav ing issued an order prohibiting ali/per sons In the American camp from pass- : lng the lines that night. So the eager correspondents had curbed their im patience as best they could and sleep lessly bided the morrow. But morn ing had only brought additional dis appointment, for reports had been re- ! ceived at headquarters setting forth j the intelligence that a portion of the I enemy's forceB had made a detour dur- i lng the night, overrunning the jungle ! In the rear of the American army. Not withstanding this somewhat awkward circumstance, not one of the 15 cor respondents had hesitated in his de termination to get his story through to Manila, even though forced to car- ? ry it on foot. The commanding offl- j cer, however, had entertained views of his own on this subject, with the re sult that a second order had been an nounced forbidding any attempt to con vey news matter to thc rear until a safe avenue had been developed for the purpose. Small wonder, then, the chafing, fret ting and fuming that agitated the press contingent of that particular outpost! > "The supreme eminence of all that's Ironical!" soliloquized Addington ns he ; stood ruefully surveying the quire and ? a half of close written copy he bad i prepared the evening before. "Here's i an account that would go a way to- ) ward Justifying a journalistic exist- j ence anywhere but in these Iniquitous regions. What's the sense in tagging an army half way round the earth to see a fight you can't report? Better have staid at home and looked for an assignment on a cocking main. Be sides, there's the chief. I can hear bim rhapsodize when this report comes . ambling along a week after the asso- i elated dispatches." | Here Addington paused, while the mental picture of his wrathful superior assumed Its utmost proportions. In- ; cidentally be allowed his gaze to pen- t etrate beyond the Immediate latitude < occupied by bis moody associates. How different the rest oi the camp appear ed. Look where he would, all was en- i thuslasm, and expectancy as the sol- \ diers busied themselves preparing for the day's work, whatever it might be. Here was a battalion of Infantry as sembled In light marching order lm- | patiently awaiting the command to I move forward to again dispute the question of supremacy with the foe. Close at hand a battery of field artil lery was taking up a position prepar atory to shelling a distant point. Where a portion of the enemy's forcea were reported tc have congregated. A half cynical ?mil? flitted over Addington'? feature* aa he watched these prepara tions. How often since his arrival at the frost had he allowed himself to be carried ?way, deluded by p recite]7 such tactics. It was all right caough for the soldier, this perpetual tension and walting daring the long intervals between battles, for when a fight did come off his martial aspirations were in a measure appeased. Bnt how dif ferent with the field journalist, who as a noncombatant contd not fight and as a correspondent was forbidden to cor respond! The thought galled him. In tho latter case' he was clearly handi capped. But be was a'thorough Amer ican. And as such was he necessarily a noncombatant? -At a little distance from where he stood Tour men of the ambulance corps under an army surgeon were gathered Gt?out u i:an??c?i' on iii?? parren? jr-i'-~? tracks, beside which the troops were encamped. Addington was familiar with thc motives of the little porty. Thc four mon had volunteered to ac company tho surgeon several miles hark along the railroad over thc scene of yesterday's lighting In quest of cer tain members of tho command who had been numbered among the "miss ing" In the recent casualties. The character of the expedition appealed to his sense of admiration, for under the circumstances neither brassard nor hospital ilag was any safeguard against. attack from the insurgents, who were known to infest the locality to he visited. Suddenly thc impulse seized him to Join this little excursion, lt would at least servo to divert his thoughts from the unpleasaut theme that nt present dominated his brain. Hastily folding his copy, he placed lt lu an Inner pock et of his blouse and crossed over to the party. As he drew near the timi arrangements for the start had been consummated. The men were already taking their places In the singular con veyance. "Is your squad r-omplete, sir?" cour tcously Inquired the correspondent of the medical officer In charge. At the question the latter turued anti regarded the speaker with manifest surprise. Then he answered, pleasant ly enough: "Well, yes, considering there ls room for but four men at the brakes. Hard ly the most interesting subject for a cable dispatch, however," he added jocularly. "But I'm not, hunting nows this morning," replied Addington seriously. "Fact is, I'd like to accompany your party if you don't object. You might include me as a sort of supernumerary -a relief crew, os it were." "Oh, you're quite welcome to go with us if you so desire," was the cordial response, "but I must first get you a permit!" And, taking the un.rpo of bis latest volunteer, the olicer hastened away lo headquarters. Returning in a few moments with i??e necessary pass, the surgeon, followed by Addington, stepped aboard the car, and a moment later the party were trundling along over thp narrow rails, bound away ou their hazardous mission. For the first mile the route lay through a comparatively open stretch of country, commanded by the pickets stationed on the outskirts of the Amer ican camp. But beyond this the track entered a dense brake, the depths of which were Impenetrable to the eye, save at intervals, where the exuberant growth had been beaten down by the irresistible advance of the conquering army. It was here that mucli of the hardest fighting had transpired, and here consequently the work of the am bulance party began. Slowly they worked their way onward, pausing al frequent intervals to beat about through the surrounding thicket ii: their search for the missing, be thej living or dead. In this manner a dis tance of some three miles had beer covered without developing anything of an encouraging nature, when of t sudden the sound of rifle shots wa: heard emanating from a distant point directly along the road. Faint as th< reports fell upon their hearing the mer were quick to analyze them, plainly distinguishing the occasional Spring field from the more promiscuous Mau ser. "Our fellows to a certainty," ob served one. "Yes, and putting up a fight agalns all kinds of odds," declared another. "Come," said the surgeon briefly "We must go to them." Down the track rumbled the hand car, the men straining every nerve a the brakes. Another mlle and tin scene of the conflict was at hand. In deed, the car had actually swop through a straggling line of Filipino: crouching in the thatchlike jungle o: tree fern and bamboo. Less than hal: a thousand yards beyond, at the sum mit of a slight hummock, a heap o stones and earth appeared, and be hind this the besieged party was in trenched, held at bay by overwbelmlnj numbers of the enemy. As tho hand car burst into view it was greeted si mnltaneously with a feeble cheer fron the beleaguered occupants of the rift? pit ahead and a volley of shots fron the Insurgents behind. In the sann Instant one of the men relaxed hi grasp on the brake and sank dea perately wounded to the bottom of th car. Without a moment's hesitatioi Addington sprang to the stricken man' place and, laying hold on the bandi bar, strove with the others to malu tain the speed they had developer! As the car approached the base of th fortified hummock two men arose froi the rifle pit and, bearing a wounde comrade between them, hastened t meet their deliverers. They were th sole survivors of an original party c ten who had become separated froi their command during the battle o the previous day. At sight of this fe< ble remnant of the gallant little gai rison the Filipinos set up a fierce, ej ultant shout and, breaking from thel cover, dashed forward to prevent the! escape. But the handcar had airead been brought to a stop, and it was ev dent that the wounded and exhausto Americans wonld be rescued by thc! comrades ere they could be overtake! Seeing this, the furious horde pause in its onward rush and discharged volley at the fugitives, succeeding i bringing one of them down with wound in the thigh. As he fell, hov ever, Addington leaped to the grount followed an Instant later by the sn geon and three attendant*. Buahln to the spot, the former seised the falle aian'a ri AA nrwj while the surgeos ss bia a ss la ton ts caught np the wounde assisted the third soldier In coverts tbs retreat to the oar. At tho first r snit of their Aro the Filipinos hod aga! pressed forward? but upon meotln with such unexpected opposition th? straightway paused to deliver an otb? volley. By this time, however? tl wounded had been placed on the ca and the men were again at the brake all but Addington. He had reached tl side of the car and In tho fae? of tl enemy when the second crash of mu kerry came and with lt a bllodlr flash of light before his eyes ss thou? the whole universe had suddenly bur forth In'flames, then darkness-utte Inconceivable darkness-and oblivion. It might have been ages later wh< Addington revived, for all he cou recollect of that forenoon's diversic with the ambulance sanad. And cc ? ::J lt* surrounding:; u> si.^s-.-.-t t ! : i*;- :i jnndcnr or ?i horde of howling, churg- I lu*.: Filipinos. Lie was lying on :i cot in n dimly lighted room, with n lot of other co!..?: stretched along on either sido of him. All this he perceived out of the corners of '.?is eyes, for his head steadfastly refused to obey any incli nation on his part to move lt. liaising his hand, he proceeded to explore that" particular region. Then he ceased to wonder nt the Indisposition of the re fractory member, considering the man ner in willoh it was swathed in band ages. "Curious!" he speculated In a half j audible tone. "Wonder where I nm and what's happened?" The words brought au anxious faccu nurse to his bedside. "Poor boy, delirious again," she com merited aloud to herself. .'No, I'm not a particle delirious," protested tho Injured mau. "And I'd Uko to know whore I nm If you don't mind telling me." "Why, you are in the hospital at Ma nila," replied the nurse, moro cheer fully. "You've been here ever since you wore wounded, n week ago." "Wounded?" repcatod Addington vaguely. "I don't understand." "The doctor here will remind you of It," was the nurse's response as a sur geon approached aud stood at his bed side. "Ah, Addington!" exclaimed the lat ter warmly. "I'm sincerely glad to see such an Improvement In your con dition. You've had a very bad week of it since that little affair of ours up on the railroad, but you'll meud rap idly from now on." The speaker's words and face to gether brought n sudden Hood of rec ollection to the patient's mind. "Ah, I remember lt all now," he mused, "all but coming here to Manila! Aro tho rest of tho fellows-the correspond ents-also here?" "No," was the reply. "We came here direct from the scene of the light. You see, at the last moment you got that unfortunate wound in the head, which, with so many injured already on my hands and the country between us and camp overrun with Filipinos, forced me to continue on to the city." At this juncture another recollection flashed into Addington's mind, and with it an expression of deep concern settled upon his countenauce. "You say this happened a week ago?" he Interrogated. "Yes. But why all this anxiety?" "Because of my failure to report the big fight," explained the wounded cor respondent. "The other fellows have at least sent In a late account long be fore this." "Notwithstanding which calamity the surgeon looked down at his patient aud smiled serenely. "If that be the extent of your trou bles," he said slowly, "you have noth ing further to worry over. In your delirium on the way here you mention ed the report of thnt battle so repeat edly that I realized it must be of mo- j mentous consequence to you. Hence, when I found the copy tucked away in your coat pocket, I took occasion to I add a few words relative to your sub sequent splendid behavior in our own little fight and immediately upon ar riving flied it with the censor. It was cabled even before the official news of the battle was received here." -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His Cane an Exception. The great lawyer was trying a great murder case. The defendant's nearest friend, a mon cf much practical sense, though little book learning, sat behind the eminent attorney. The work of se curing the Jury was in progress, and the state had accepted and tendered to the defense a certain gray haired man. The defendant's friend leaned over to the Iaw" ^r and whispered: "Take that man, quick!" The lawyer turned around with a grave and solemn air and Bald to his adviser in a pompous manner: "You should be more careful in giv ing me advice. This is a grave mat ter. Now, I don't think that man will do. He ls old. He has one foot In the grave. He ls about to be called into the presence of his Maker, and he knows it. When men reach that age, they are apt to be exceedingly strict and are apt to make a stern judgment between the people of the state and the prisoner nt the bar. They hold life something most precious. Do you ever thiuk of these things?" "No," said the practical Individual, "but that man in thc box is the uncle of the defendant." "Oh!" exclaimed the lawyer. The man was accepted at once. The Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. New York .Tournai. A Divin* Bell ( rushefl. A crushed mass of iron in a Pitts burg scrapyard demonstrates the tre mendous pressure of water at a great depth. It was constructed for a diving bell for use In Lake M'chignn. As original ly constructed it was about G feet square, and tapered slightly at both ends. The material was phospor bronze, more than half an inch thick. Each plate was cast with a flange, and they were bolted together, the holts being placed as closely as was consistent with strength. The side plates were further strengthened by Iron ribs an Inch thick nnd two Inches wide. In fact, the entire structure was strongly braced. Tue windows to be used as outlooks by the divers were three inches square, fortified with iron bars and set with glass plates an inch thick. The weight of the bell was 23,000 pounds. When completed, it was sent to Mil waukee and towed out Into the bike about 13 miles, where there were over 200 feet of water, and was sent down for a test. The manufacturer was so confident of tbs strength of the bell that he wanted to go down in lt He ls glad now that he didn't When the bell reached the depth of about 100 feet strong timbers attached to lt came to the surface In a splintered condition. Suspecting an accident the bell was hauled np and fonnd to be crushed into a shapeless mass. The inch thick plate glass bullseyes were shattered. The pressure that crushed this seem ingly Invulnerable structure amounted to a total of 2,723,54.'* pounds, or 1,302 tons.-Pittsburg Chronicle. - Thunder can be heard nt a dis tance of fourteen miles. Filz Lee an Indian Fighter. Itlias often been noticed that when ever Gen. Fitzhugh Leo visits thc White House he ?tops to have u chat with Capt. Loonier, who stands guard ut thc president's private office and tho cabinet rootu. This is generally at tributed to Lee's pleasant way of treating everyone, but it has another origin. Before the civil war Lee was lieu tenant in the old Second cavalry, after ward reorganized as the Fifth. Locff ler was a trooper in this regiment and later a non-commissioned officer. His company was otto of the two which were engaged in a sharp fight with the Kiowa and Comanche Indians in thc Cimarr?n country iu Texas in lSo'.i. The Indians had taken refuge in a narrow canon, which could be entered only from one cud, and there had thrown up a fortification of logs, from behind which they poured a hot tiro into tho troops. The character of the canon was such that the horses of the cavalry were useless, and they were left outside, the tuen advancing on foot. Only a few of thc Indians had firearms, the rest using hows and arrows. Had the Indians been us well armed as they have been in later wars, thc loss of the whites would have been very large, as it was, only four or five soldiers were killed, though the Indian loss amounted to nearly fifty. A charge was made upon the log fort, and Lee, who was' a dashing officer and a wonderful favorite with his men, was thc first one to scale the brestwork. The arrows were whizzing all about him, and enc struck him in the breast, inllictiug a very ugly wound. As he fell, the confusion was so great about him that the arrow was pulled out of his flesh and thrown to the ground among the other arrows, whole and broken, so that no one could tell afterwards whether the head had remained in the wound or had been drawn out with the stick. It wa?. impossible, therefore, to say how seriously he had been hurt, and he was carried at once to the rear, where a litter was improvised ot saplings and boughs. He was laid upon this, which was swung between two horses, and thus he was carried back to the wagon train, a distance of more than 150 miles, through a rough country. Probing showed that the head of the arrow had fortunately been drawn out, and iu due time good nursing put the leiutenant on his feet again. This is an incident in Lee's career which is apparently known to very few. It is of interest, also, that tho old Second cavalry had for its colonel Albert Sidney Johnson, and for its lieutenant colonel Robert E. Lee, and that Hardee, of ' tactics" fame, and George II. Thomas were two of its majors. The captain of thc company in which Fitzhugh Lee was first lieu tenant was Kirby Smith. Loeffior served with credit in the Union I army through the civil war, received j his White House detail from Presi dent Grant, and was appointed ? "mil itary storekeeper" in the vegular army, with the rank of captain, by President McKinley.-Denver Post. ile Vi ara t at Home. A story is told of the late Chief Justice Cockburn. Ile was once coun sel for the plaintiff in a certain case, and a Mr. t?. was for thc defendant. Cockburn called a witness und pro ceeded to examine him. "I understand," he said, "that you called on the plaintiff, Mr. James. Is that so?" "Yes," replied tho man. "Whatdid he say?" demanded Cock burn. Mr. B. promply rose and objected. The conversation could not bc admit ted as evidence. But Cockburn per sisted and Mr. B. appealed to the Judges, who thereupon retired to con sider the point. They were absent for nearly half an hour. When they re turned they anuounced that Mr. Cock burn might put his question. "Well, what did he say?" asked counsel. "Please, sir, he wasn't at home," re plied the witness without moving a muscle. An old Timer. A orowd of young men were seated in one of the steamboat offices in the city the other afternoon while aa old steamboat veteran regaled them with stories about old times on the Mis sissippi ted reminiscences of the old time eitizens. "Did you know oid Bili Jones?' ' ask ed one of the men, after the captain had finished relating how he ran a gauntlet of Indians with his boat way baok in the forties. "'Member Bill Jones? Well, I guess I did/' replied the captain. "Let's see, he died just after the war. He was a good old fellow too. I knew his father before he was married to Bill's mother." One of the boys thought the old man was "doping," and by way of tripping him up on his dates asked, "Cap, how long have you been run ning on the river?" "Who, me? Why I started on tho Mississippi when it was nuthin buta creek!"-Memphis Scimitar. Fried Fhickeu und Furn l'une. George Carlton of Atlanta was in New York a week or so ago and a re porter for Tho Tribune had a talk with him at thc Hotel Imperial. Mr. Carlton had evidently first enjoyed a good square meal, for he talked after this fashiou: "All parts of thc coun try have their specialty in thc way of cooking, 1 suppose. Everyone in New England. I believe, breakfasts ?un Sunday on perk and beans and cod fish balls as regularly as thc day comos around. In Philadelphia the Sunday breakfast consists of scrambled eggs and scallops, hut in thu South, when wc are in doubt, we invariably fall back on fried chicken and corn pone, lt may do for a New York banker to import a cook at $10,000 a year, and undoubtedly such a chief is worth thc money from RU nie points of view, par ticularly thc social, but I would wager cousiderbly that if one of those cooks and an old colored mammy wore pit ted against ench lither to fry chicken and cook corn pone it would inevitably result in thc chief's inglorious defeat, lt. is a heaven born art with our old colored mainlines. They eau all doit, and do it in a manner to bring tears of gladness to thc heart of hungry man. Why, only tho other night, when wc came through (Jordonsvillc, Va., in the early morning hours, I was restless and had got up to smoke as wc drew up at thc junction. I went to the platform for a breath of air, aud discovered a half dozen old color ed crones strung along thc side of thc train. Each had a tray, upon which were cr. posed many articles of food for sale, but the principal was fried chicken. You ought to have tried it. It was so tender it fairly melted in your mouth, while the crispy browned outside imparted a delicious tang to the taste. I have dined in many res taurants and with mauy people, and and at some dinners that still live in my memory on account of their gastronomic excellence, but thc mem ory of tho best dish of tho beBt cook which I ever partook of will now have to give up tho place of honor to a piece of fried chicken served on a tray by a blaok mammy at the little junctional Btatiou in Virginia." Everybody who has traveled through Virginia on the Chesapeake and Ohio knows about Gordon.sville and its fried ohicken. Mr. Carlton has uot dono thc situation justice. At nearly ail Virginia depots there are venders of chicken, sandwiches, coffee, milk, fruit, et cetera, but tho Gordonsvillo fried chicken is not only thc best but it has another peculiarity. Thc trav eler wants first to get off thc train at this junction whare the road divides, one branch going to Richmond, the other to Washington. As soon as he steps on the long wooden platform thc mammies v.ill approach with their trays. Ke wants to buy a cup of coffee, for it is good coffee, a roll, for thc volls are also good, and then let him take his choice of a picco of chicken, for one part of thc chicken, as every lover of the fowl knows, dif fercth from another part in glory. But his choice at Gordonsvillo will be limited. Ile will find that none of the trays have anything but "thighs" and "drumsticks" or "first" and "second joints," as some call them. How is this? Are the Gordonsville chickens all legs? lt would seem so, but not exactly. It happens in this way. The best part of fried chicken is thc leg either the thigh or lower portion. Anyone knows that, and the Gordons ville mammies long ago noticed that every customer wanted either the first or second joint, so that at thc cud of the day's work, their trays con tained the other less delicious por tions. Oh, for a breed of chickens that would be all legs! Hut if thc pesky fowls won't grow that way, why not make them that way after they arc killed and cleaned? Happy thought! Thc mammies have now become expert at the art, and when the traveler buys a piece of chicken at Gordonsville from the depot ven ders, he always gets a leg. Thc meat is so skilfully arranged upon a bone that it is not until the best part of it has been eaten that the fraud is dis covered, and by that time the joy of tho eater is so great over the fine feast that he never complains, v So Gordonsville ohicken is uniquue in fowl history.
