I TALES OF PLUCK ' I | AND ADVENTURE. f Frank licll's Exploits. TIIK announcement ol' the promotion of Captain J. Franklin Bell from the rank of Captain in the Seventh Tinted States Cavalry to that of a lirigadier-General is at present causing considerable stir in army circles. According to several otlieers. tlu? tirmiio tioii is absolutely without a precedent since the Civil \Yar. In rising from the rank of Captain to that of ttrigadior-Geueral (leneral llell has jumped over the heads of I (Kit J o.'Iicors. who. according to the rules of seniority, would have been entitled to antedate him in promotion. In spite of the great change that has beeu made in his rank, none nt' the otlieers in the regular army will dt n.v that he received any more than his just deserts. Although not widely known outside of army circles, the record made by the cavalry Captain while actlug with the voluntct r army during the past two years in the Philippines has made his name well known to almost every ollicer anions the regulars. (leneral Hell was horn in Lexington. Ky., forty-four years ago, being a member of a well-known Kentucky family. He was admitted to the .Military Academy at Most Point in 1S7I. and became a Second Lieutenant in the Ninth Cavalry on June 3 1. 1N7S. In August of that year he was transferred to the Seventh Cavalry. He saw his lirst. actual service under tieneral Forsyth In the campa!gn against the Indians in the Dakota*. In May, 1S0X, he received a commission as n Major of Kngineers in the volunteer army, ami went to Manila, whore lie was plaeeil in eommand of what was known as the Bureau of Information. This was practically a secret service department of the army, ami it was through i; thai General Otis kept himself posted in regard to the movements of ilie natives before the actual lighting broke out. General Bell, while In charge of the Bureau of Information, earned a great deal of praise by his work, lie continued in the bureau until February. lHD'.l, when the aetual lighting broke out. The Bureau of Information censed to afford him a field for his activities at tins time, and General Bell immediately left it'to attach himself to General MncArthur. who was leading an expedition against the insurgents. General Bell did not hold any otticlnl rank in this expedition, but simply went with it as a sort of free lanee. with the permission ?>f General MaeArthur. lie soon became well known for the work he did as a scout. lie friM|Uontly went ahead of the main.body of the army with a company of men from the First Montana Keg'mteut. and his natural aptitude in learning the topography of a new country soon showed itself. At the battle of Caloocan on February bt lie d'stingtlished himself by drawing the tiro of a number of insurgents who wore concealed in the woods to ihe right of the position Which the American troops were attacking. He volunteered to go for | ward to learn tin* number of men in tin- woods with the .Montana company, and 011 receiving permission had soon moved so far forward against the insurgents that it was thought lie and his command would he eut to pieces, lie had advanced to a point Where he was directly between the lire of the insurgents in the woods and their own main body. Those in the woods advanced to make an attack on liitn. bur the American art 11 lory came to his support and drove them back. Jleueral Hell then.waited for the general attack and joined in it with his men. His losses were only a few,.killed ami. wounded. In July the Weutenant-t'oloneley of the Thirty second Volunteer Infantry was offered to liitn and declined. If was a little after this that (Jeneral Hell was made Colonel of the Thirty sixth Volunteer Infantry. This* regiment. which is now one of the most efficient, in the Philippines, was recruited by him. The majority of the men who enlisted had served with tJeneriil Hell in the .Montana. Dakota and Nebraska regiments in <5oiirr.nl MncArthur's command, and they were all picked men as well as thoroughly acquainted with the good qualities of their 'eader. \\ hen the regiment had been recruited up to about half its strength it joined fJeiieral MaoArthur i|i the expedition that la* was making northward into the interior of l.uzmi.

One of the rebels, the Captain, fell. ^ and the others ran. Although lie was in danger of being shot from behind by the man he had wounded he pursued the fleeing insurgents, caught up with two of them under n tire from the others, anil commanded them to throw down their rides.
