world has ever known. and the birth OF
the new republic. On April 9th OF this
year most notable reunion is to take
place on the site of the closing scene OF

18th. just thirty years ago, sent a shud
der through civilization.
But it is on Shiloh's old battlefield in
Tennessee that the blue and gray
met last week to mark the spots where
the memorable events of those two days
of 1862 took place. 1t is perhaps, the one
battle of the war that has always been
most misunderstood and which was pro-
ductive Of more bitter enmities between
leading officers of the Union side than
any other successful or unsuccessful skir-
mish of the rebellion. 1t caused trouble
between Halleck and Grant. 1t was the
occasion of serious misunderstanding
between General Lew Wallace and the
great leader of the Union forces which,
by the way, was not entirely cleared up
until many years later.
But the vexed questions of the most d.
rect road from Cramps Landing to Pitts
burg Landing, of Grants failure 10 meet
Buell., of Buells failure to notify Grant
of his arrival, of Sherman's magnificent
bit of strategy in getting into line on the
federal right will all be gone over again.
1t is a beautiful stretch of country where
these survivors meet this week to locate
places and to recall the events of the bat
tie. From Hamburg to Savannah, on
the Tennessee. and from Pittsburg Land
ing we'll beyond Shiloh Church, lies the
main battle-ground, and it will be some
what difficult to locate the positions of
the various commands on b til days.
The war department records nave cleared
away many doubtful points, but the con
fusion of the first day has led to several
conflicting opinions as to exact locations.
The ex-confederates have taken u deep
interest in the effort to preserve the bat
tie ground as 1000 of the bravest men the
south ever s,nt into the field lie buried
there. The ground. which is changed to
a national park. consists Of about 5000
acres of rather hilly and well wooded and
watered territory.
The movement was fathered by Con-
STtSSIldl IltluerSOu Vi Iowa anu 1T was
largely through his efforts that the
armies of the Tennessee, the Ohio and
the Nj gsippi will now have a lasting
memento of their most remarkable bat
tie. A Federal commission is to take
charge of the ground within few weeks,
and monuments are now to be arranged

part in the encounter. AS matter OF
fact it will rival Gettysburg and probably
surpass Chckamauga as a field of mont.-

III the past. saying that then we fought
for our lives, but that now it was Il fight
for orr lives and honor, for if we fell into
the hands Of Narvaez- the good
God would not permit-all OF our services

peace of the country; and now we should

selves, like good cavaliers. either

conquest of Narvaez or by glor-

While thus combat was taking place

soon brod hit the artillery to bear on
them. Just then were heard the cries
that Narvaez was dead and Cortes, see

royal name to Cortes. under rain of death.

some other Captains where they were and
he was covered with dirt, with his armor
broken sweating at every pore and SO
tired that he could scarcely drag one leg
after another. When he came where San
doval was he exclaimed. What of Mar
vaez, what OF Navarez?" and when San
doval replied, He is here close prs
oner," Cortes said. Look you. Son San
dovat, that he and those OF his Captains
whom you have are well watched; let
none escape; | have other things to look
to-.
And then he went to other parts of the
town and caused proclamations to be
made that all of the followers of Narvaez
should submit themselves to the authority
of the King and in his royal name to
fernando Cortes, his Captain General
and Chief Justice. and that all should
give up their arms to our AlguaZ Is under
pain of death.
All this took place in the night time
and during it all it rained almost continu-
ouslv, but this darkness was of great as
sistance to us.
Narvaez being badly woun led now
begged Sandoval to send for his surgeon,
one Maestro Juan. And when he came
and was dressing his wounds Cortes
came where they were, and he stood
know Narvaez, and when Narvaez was
told that Cortes was near he said: ''Senor
Captain Cortes, you consider, no doubt, that
this is great victory you have won over
me and in having taken me prisoner.
To which Cortes replied that he gave sin
cere thanks to God for the victory and
for giving him such bold and
hardy warriors for com panions. but that
as for defeating him and taking him pris-

1t seems that that evening Narvaez had
sent out forty horse to scout for us, and
we now learned that they were still out

that they might return ut any moment
and attack us and attempt the release OF
their Captains, and in order to avoid the
danger Ca another conflict Cortes ordered

Cristobal de Oil and his party had not
gone far when he met them, and after II
conference OF some length they won them
over to the side of Cortes, and they all
arrived in Cempoal just after daybreak,
and they went where Cortes was seated
on a chair, wearing yellow robe en-
broidered with his arms. and surrounded
by party OF his own Captains, and kissed
his hands after which each one went to
his own quarters. And it was thing
worth seeing. the courteous manners with
which Cortes received them all, and how
he complimented eacn one. And with
reason he ought to have been proud hav-
ing won sucn Il victory. and ever such
odds. and seeing himself now such u great

Narvaez lost four men and had many
wounded; we iost an equal mum ber and
had also many wounded, among the rest
the Cacaue Gordo was wounded. but
Cortes sent him to his house and gave
strict orders that none should modest
him.
And it seems that when the valiant Sal
vaterra heard. he call to arms, and heard
our shouts of victory and that Narvaez
was slain. lie declared to those around
him that his stomach was sick; and
thereafter he never struck Il blow. And
call this to mind because Of bis former
threats and Boosting.
The day after the capture and defeat of
Narvaez. there arrived in our camp 2000
Chinantan warriors with the soldier
Barrientos. whom we had sent there, and
they made a great and gallant show as
they marched into Cempoal being all
men of good size, carrying the long
lances of their tribe. ich with a shield or
sort of pavesin and all gaily adorned with
feather work. and between every two
lancers there marched bowman, and as
they marched in they all shouted ''Vive ell
Rev. Viye ell ney, fernando Cortes ="
And the men of Narvaez were astonished
and they thanked God these Indians had
not arrived in time to take part in the
fray.
Cortes received the Indian chiefs and
treated them very kindly and gave them
presents of beads, and he presently order
ed them to return to their homes. and he
sent the soldier Barrient6s with them.
